Russian
 History


Call for Papers:

/First International Conference for Young Scholars of Russian Studies:
Alternatives, Turning Points and Regime Changes in Russian History, May
19-20, 2014./

The conference is organized by the Center for Russian Studies' Doctoral
Program at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. We invite graduate
students and postdoctoral researchers from the field of history, social
sciences, law and all other fields of humanities to participate in the
conference.

The aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity for dialogue
between young researchers from different countries and cultures to
discuss the "eternal questions" that have divided Russian and European
scientific and popular opinion for centuries. Is Russia a part of
Europe? Can the Russian system only be reformed from above? What are the
"original characteristics" of Russia's development? Is Russia still a
great power? Are there any lessons learnt from Russia's history that are
still relevant today?

The conference provides a platform for participants to share and discuss
their ideas and the results of their research in an interdisciplinary forum.
