Prof Salushchev is so sweet and knowledgeable! I enjoyed every lecture, and it was my first encounter with Russian history and he made it accessible. I would reccomend taking any of his classes as long as you're ok with a lecture based class and a good amount of reading. The readings can be a lot but they're all well chosen for the subject matter.

I give 5s too often. He's a 6. Professor Salushchev is a wonderful professor and person. He not only cares strongly about what he teaches, but he is a very effective lecturer. While his slides may be packed with tons of text, they are navigable. I enjoyed each lecture. Go to office hours and email if you have questions, he's always willing to help.

Took during TA strike quarter. Not very accommodating in that regard. Otherwise, caring guy who keeps lectures fresh (even though he goes super fast). Would definitely recommend going to sections to clear up sometimes confusing lectures. Content is super manageable though. Graded by weekly forum posts, midterm, section attendance, and final paper.

Prof. Salushchev is really great. His lectures are full of information, but he explains things really well and is open to answering lots of questions. While the content could be hard to fully understand, the assignments were relatively easy-- one assignment per week about the readings, a midterm, and a final paper. He's also very personable.

One of the best history classes I've taken as a history major. Prof. Salushchev is extremely organized, lectures go hand in hand with the textbook. Make sure to read chapter before coming to lecture; he does a great job at explaining concepts & answers every question. TA's for this class were amazing too.1 weekly assignment, 1 midterm,1 final paper

Professor Salushchev is a kind and very knowledgeable professor. He's very open to students asking questions in class to clarify material. Lectures are fast-paced, so using section to clarify material can be useful.
