Welcome to Dr. Albert's class blog for POLS 3201, Government and Politics of Post-Communist Russia!

This blog is class specific.   If you are not in the 3201 class, please do not request to be a member of this page.  Students, this blog is where you can ask and answer questions from the readings, ask me questions for further clarification, and most importantly, post reflections from our classes, field trips, and your own personal free time during which you may find something that relates to this class. This is a professional forum, and should only be used in this context.  This blog spot will be our main source of communication throughout the lead up to the trip, and during the trip as well.  More to come soon!

Welcome to the EC St. Petersburg 2012 Page for Dr. Craig Albert.

Welcome SpB's (St. Petersburger's!) to  our class blogs.  These blogs will be used throughout the run-up to the trip, and very much during the trip as well.  You should post discussion points, reflections from the trip, and any questions about the lead up to the trip on this blog. The blog will be our class's primary method of communication outside of the classroom.  Please start getting used to using the blog BEFORE our trip to Russia.  In fact, we should all familiarize ourselves with the blog before our class orientation on May 19. This particular blog is for all students on the trip that wish to post.  You do not have to be a member of my class.  I will go over this all in detail during our orientation.   For my students specifically, please search my blog page for posts related directly to your class; these will be listed as 2101: Introduction to Political Science, and Government and Politics of Post-Communist Russia, POLS 3201.
