      Teaching History feature

  • Whose past is it anyway? Telling Russian and Soviet history through diverse Jewish voices

      Teaching History article
    When Alistair Dickins came to teach A-level Russian and Soviet history (1855–1964) he was rather surprised by the very limited references to Jewish history within the exam board specification. His own detailed knowledge in this area (a ‘little side-project’ from his doctorate on the Russian Revolution), led to a revision of the course. This article...
