Very interesting and informative, it allows us to fill some shameful gaps in education – in Soviet and Russian history textbooks, China was mentioned only sporadically. All I really remember is the uprising of the yellow bands and the fight against imperialism.

Of course, 36 half-hour lectures on the history of China are too little. For example, the Taiping uprising can be given no more than one lecture on the reign of Mao or there, despite the fact that the Taiping uprising was generally the bloodiest conflict in history, excluding World War II. But the course gives a more or less general consistent picture and an excellent basis for further reading.
