SUMMARY:Successes and Failures: A Comparative History of Finland and the USSR in the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nOne of the arguments advanced by the proponents of communist ideas is that in spite of all the horrors of Stalinism and other communist regimes\, they greatly contributed to the advancement of the countries where they managed to establish themselves. Taking into account the fact that in 1900 Grand Duchy of Finland was part of Russian Empire but in 1917 both parts took radically different paths of their development\, a comparative history from 1900 to 1991 may give us a glimpse into successes and drawbacks of different political systems. \n\nGrand Duchy of Finland within the Russian Empire\, 1900-1917\nRevolution and Emergence of Independent Finland: why the Whites won in Finland?\nUneasy co-existence in the interwar Period\nWinter War of 1939-40 and continuation war of 1941-44.
