Benefits and drawbacks to “Westernization”

What were the benefits and drawbacks to “Westernization” in Russia? Identify some of the major changes that were considered “Westernization,” and ask to what degree these changes were really transformative, or truly “foreign.” Then, isolate a few examples of particular benefits Russia received from so-called Westernization — in each case, specify who benefitted, in what ways, and to what degrees. Similarly, isolate a few examples of drawbacks of “Westernization,” again specifying who was disadvantaged, in what ways, and to what degrees. Explain the positions of a few relevant authorities on Westernization, including at least one critic and one proponent, and position your own view in relation to theirs.
