The course grounds students in the vibrant field of global history through a regional focus on Russian, former Soviet and Eurasian spaces. It draws on the proximity and wealth of archives and museum collections of St. Petersburg and its rich environs, and on our academic strength in history and anthropology. Students benefit from the ease of travel to Moscow, Finland, the Baltics and multiple regional locations within Russia.
The programme provides possibility to major in history or anthropology, and an excellent foundation for future doctoral work both at the HSE (including the doctoral programme in the Global History of Empires organized with the University of Turin) and at other leading universities in Russia and abroad. Recent graduates are enrolled in PhD programmes at Princeton, Oxford, and European University Institute in Florence. Graduates of the programme go on to build careers in such practical fields as the creative industries, journalism, museums, library services and more.
