Erasmus to Joensuu

I’m about to go to Joensuu in Karelia (Finland) on an Erasmus Teaching Mobility trip.  It seems that it’s going to be a good experience, and should be lots of fun.  I’m actually teaching an 8-hour lecture course (worth 2 ECTS credits) on Soviet Foreign Policy and the Comintern in the 1920s and 1930s.  The course will cover:

  1. The Soviet takeover of diplomacy and the establishment of the Comintern
  2. Soviet foreign policy in the 1920s: revolution or normalization
  3. The Soviet stand against fascism: collective security, the popular front and the Spanish Civil War
  4. The Soviet Union and its challengers: relations with Nazi Germany and Japan
