Presented by the Department of Comparative Literature, this event is part of a weeklong series of public programs:
Join us today for “The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917: What Was Good? What Was Bad? Is It Over?” This faculty panel discussion features Professors Mark Gingerich (Russian History), Sean Kay (Soviet and Russian Politics and Government), and Stephanie Merkel (Russian Language and Literature).
The week's events conclude Nov. 10 with a Chat with the Chair! Professor Anne Sokolsky discusses George Sokolsky and the Bolsheviks: “Writing the Revolution: A Granddaughter’s Tale.” George Sokolsky was a journalist in China during the turbulent decades of the 1920s and 1930s, says Professor Sokolsky, and he later became a syndicated columnist in over 200 newspapers in the United States during the heyday of print journalism. She will speak in Merrick Hall Room 203 @ noon.
