“The Long Cold War, 1917 to the Present Day” with Prof. Alvin Finkel
2024-07-08 13:00 - 15:00, 2024-07-15 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
This course examines the origins of the huge rift between Western countries beginning with the Russian Revolution in 1917, its temporary burial during World I, its global reach during the period from 1945 to the 1980s, and the failure to heal that rift either during the Gorbachev period when the Soviets sought rapprochement with the West, or in the post-Soviet period when Russia lost its control over the other republics of the USSR as well as satellite states. The first session explores the efforts by the West to reverse the Russian Revolution militarily after World War I and then in the 1930s through encouragement of Nazi invasion and the impact on internal developments within the USSR as well as the evolution of the USSR-Allied coalition after the Nazi invasion of the USSR.
The second session examines various explanations for the collapse of Western-Soviet cooperation after the war, the development of a polarized world, and the nuclear threats from Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to Cuba in 1962. The third session discusses the contrasting views of the USSR and the US about what the other stood for and the impact on a variety of nations. While the US, for example claimed the Cold War was about democracy versus totalitarianism, the 50 or more cases of the US helping to overthrow elected governments raises the issue of its real aims during the Cold War just as Soviet collaborations with nationalist movements with little or no socialist component raises issues about Soviet claims that they were helping to build a world communist movement.
The final session looks at the decline and fall of the USSR and questions why both during the period of Soviet rapprochement with the West under Gorbachev and then with Russia during the post-Soviet period, the two sides failed to develop common agendas that could end the Cold War.

The 50 Mile Walk
2024-07-18 12:00 - 14:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
Thursday, July 18 at 12p.m.
Erika Lefevre will re-live some local history with us, as she describes how, as a sixteen-year-old high school girl, she walked fifty miles, hiking from the small village of New Sarepta to downtown Edmonton. About 50 people began the hike in New Sarepta in 1963, starting at 7:20 pm on a chilly March evening, but only four finished, including Erika and famed Edmonton Journal cartoonist, John Yardley-Jones.
They took only 16½ hours, and, deservedly, received a splendid welcome in Edmonton when they arrived at about 11:20 am. Quite an achievement! I wonder how many of us could do this now …. and don’t forget this was before cell-phones, GPS devices, divided highways, and high tech shoes and outdoor wear.
Come and learn more about the background to this epic journey, what it was like to participate, and what the aftermath has been.
