Q4 - Lesson #35 - Modern Russia and China - Introduction
Our plan for today is to split the time between doing an overview of some of the issues facing Russia today and those facing China.
I have a handout for you that summarizes many of the key issues/questions that Russia is dealing with now and into the foreseeable future. There also some links below that we might make use of in class today.
The Dismantling of Russia Democracy - The Atlantic
BBC News: Timeline - Chechnya
These articles are all found on a great Russia site, Russia Profile.org
