| Summary |
Trace the growth of this influential ideology from Stalin's consolidation of power to the establishment of communist regimes in Eastern Europe, China, Korea, Vietnam, and elsewhere. These 12 half-hour lessons shed intriguing light on a revolutionary movement that played an outsized role in the 20th century and continues to shape 21st-century geopolitics. Your instructor is Professor Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius, Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he has been awarded the university's top two teaching awards. Vejas also analyzes the communist regimes in Eastern Europe, which overturned democratic governments in the wake of World War II with Soviet backing and included such dictators as Walter Ulbricht in East Germany, Nicolai Ceausescu in Romania, and Enver Hoxha in Albania, as well as Yugoslavia's Josip Tito, a rare communist leader who openly resisted Soviet domination. |
