The course emphasizes not just the facts and figures for different periods but the understanding of various historical processes and concepts. In addition, students will study which developments on an international scale shaped the world and global history. Beginning from some processes in the Russian Middle Ages, the course follows with social, industrial and scientific revolutions of the XVII-XIX centuries.
