People of the year

top 1o category: affection and appreciation in the year of 2009.

(1) Vladimir Putin
From the intriguing mystery of all those polonium-210 poisoning and KGB experience….his outwardly emotionless expressions…his obvious implication in returning to the presidency.. to the recent super hot shirtless hunting photo release! <3
(2) THE gar-jai / My cup of tea
For his breathtaking beauty, intelligence, konjo and our kieta go-en.
(3) Jim Parsons / Dr. Sheldon Cooper
The source of my weekend laughter….and he proved nerdy is indeeeed the new sexy :3
(4) Michael Jackson
Around half of my free time in the summer is dedicated to MJ’s music videos, gossips, funeral and news.
(5) Ji Xiao-Lan (紀曉嵐)
Wholly captivated by the TV program. I almost rename myself as Aisin Gioro Ka Hei / could time-travel to the Qing Dynasty.

21H.467 Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society, 1917-Present (17.57J)

Explores the political and historical evolution of Soviet and post-Soviet state and society from the Revolution of 1917 to the present.  Organized around three main topics:  1) the creation of the Soviet state (with parallels to Putin’s Russia today);  2) the development of a Stalinist pattern of relations between state and society; and 3) the transformation of the Soviet system, its ultimate collapse, and rebirth as the Russian state under Yeltsin and Putin.  We will read primary and secondary sources with some film clips and web exercises.”!!!!!!!
