The collapse of the Soviet
Union in 1991 ushered in a new chapter in the history of Russia
and Eastern Europe. Russia embarked on a challenging experiment
in political, economic, social and cultural transformations - the
outcome of which will undoubtedly impact not only Russia's future,
but that of the world as well. Recent developments in Russia have
already significantly affected the nature of Russian Studies in
the United States and throughout the world.
If you have ever considered studying
the Russian language or culture, or exploring the heritage of
your ancestors, consider enrolling in the Russian Studies program
at Muhlenberg College!
