Vladimir Tismaneanu GVPT459K Anonymous 07/10/2024	While class could get a little boring because of how long they were, how Prof Tismaneanu basically just jumps from topic to topic (his lectures are like advanced story-telling), and how he would often go 5-10 minutes over time, it was still a really interesting class and I became a lot more interested in Russian history as well as Russian literature thanks to Prof Tismaneanu's lessons! He's a kind man and the two assignments (midterm and final, both essays) are relatively simple - just make sure to listen to his lectures, read some of the materials he provides on Canvas, and you'll be good to go.

There was like two essays which as long as you submit something, you get an A- minimum for. I didn't really like Russian politics, but his expertise and interest in it made it fun.

Super chill guy, the class is interesting, and the workload is extremely manageable. Every other review here is spot on. Not too much structure but I still learned so much just by listening to lecture alone.
