| Description |
Around 1900, the cities in the Tsarist Empire grew rapidly. Their perception fluctuated between an attractive ‘laboratory of modernity’ with a variety of lifestyles and art scenes. This was contrasted by negative attributions of a Moloch, social decline, crime and moral decay. Using selected examples such as St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kyiv or Lviv and other cities, the aim is to familiarise students with the research field of urban history in general and then to examine aspects such as urban planning, infrastructures, urban cultures, poverty, internal migration, work, consumption, housing and leisure, but also multi-ethnicity and religion using case studies.
