The history of Central-Eastern Europe and Russia embraces the study of the main political, economic and social dynamics of the countries of Central Europe, the South-East of the continent and Russia in Contemporary age with inevitable references also to the events of the Modern age. Knowledge of the history of this area is particularly relevant. In fact, as in few other areas of the world, the history of this region of the European continent allows us to analyze the processes of Nation Building and State Building and, subsequently, the impact of communist dictatorships. Furthermore, after the fall of the communist regimes, students will be able to appreciate the processes of transition to the market economy and Western-style democracy.
