Full information about the course is available here
This short online course examines a brief but very intense period in a region of diverse and unique cultures and geo-political importance, which yet remains little known: four years of ferment in the South Caucasus, following the Russian Revolutions of 1917.
During the subsequent Soviet period the Caucasus was largely seen culturally and politically as an inseparable part of the USSR, but prior to that the peoples of this region had very strong links with the nations to the south, to the Ottoman Empire and to Persia, as well as to Russia. Apart from the three major nationalities, the South Caucasus is home to many other ethnic groups, who also played their part in the history of this period.
