RECOMMENDATIONS: Each person or team will have a maximum time of 30 mm. Less if you want to open a debate afterwards. You can do a power point presentation with maps and images. Besides the presentation you will have to present a paper (minimum 1500 words, maximum 5000). 

The idea is to present to the class a clear view of the most relevant features of traits of every country (Size, population, political regime, essential economic data, most famous persons, etc.).  It is important to insist on the most interesting points from the perspective of the relationships with Russia and the European Union. You should add a basic chronology. And a bibliography:  a list of essential books (essays and novels). Movies and Series related to your topic are most welcome, as well. 

The week before the presentation you can come and see me if you need some orientation on your research and presentation. If you wish so. 

Think also about the possibility of exposing your topic in a podcast after the presentation. If you are interested.
