The Firebird and the Fox: Russian Culture Under Tsars and Bolsheviks
1h 0m
Join Jeffrey Brooks, Professor of History in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, as he introduces you to "The Firebird and the Fox: Russian Culture under Tsars and Bolsheviks." Dr. Brooks emphasizes three insights readers might take away from the book, related to the cultural ramifications of the political, economic, social, and technological changes that Russia experienced between 1850 and 1950. He focuses on the ways that these changes reverberated through both high culture and commercial work, through symbols such as firebirds, foxes, and fools.
