Russian and Eurasian History Programs

Graduate Program

Graduate students in Russian and Eurasian history at Maryland are carefully mentored and form a lively and close-knit community. A number of them have worked as editorial assistants at Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History , where they have gained invaluable experience and contacts.

We currently consider applications from prospective graduate students interested in working on the nineteenth or twentieth centuries.

Graduate readings courses (generally under the rubric of HIST 759, Readings in Russian and Soviet History) are revised and updated each year, changing their thematic and temporal focus. Recent incarnations include "Topics in the Historiography of the Russian Revolution", "New Approaches and New Sources in Late Imperial Russian and Early Soviet History," "Imperial Russia: Politics, Culture and Society in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries," "Soviet Communism and Its Transformations," and "Russia and the West."

Russian history graduate students have been successful in recent years in winning departmental, university, and prestigious national fellowships and prizes.
