The course consists of 23 lectures and will take place online at the Zoom platform between July 07, 2023 – July 30, 2023.
The course is meant to introduce Iranian history and culture to the Russian-speaking audience. The course intends to cover the ancient, medieval and modern history of Iran, Iranian politics and international relations, Sufism and Iranian Islamic mysticism, ethnography and geography of the modern Republic of Iran, as well as the history of Iranian art.
