Young Scholars Conference “Slavic World: Community And Diversity”. Moscow, 25–26 May 2021. Section “History”

The annual conference Slavic World: Community and Diversity is a good platform for young researchers from different universities and research centers, both domestic and foreign, where they can share their scholarly achievements with colleagues and talk about their own vision of a particular problem related to the study of the diversity of the Slavic world. This year was no exception, and the historical section of the conference was held on 25–26 May in a mixed format: full-time participation and on the ZOOM platform owing to coronavirus restrictions. The speakers at the conference dedicated to the Day of Slavic Writing and Culture again discussed a wide range of issues related to the history of the Slavic peoples from the Middle Ages to the present day in national, regional, and international contexts. Following the conference, a collection of abstracts will be published. Researchers not only showed the results of their research, but also enriched themselves with new knowledge, were given a platform to express their opinions and discuss them with colleagues, and shared their experience. Many speeches aroused lively interest, and sometimes a heated discussion, which indicates the relevance of the topics addressed at the event. Annual participation in the conference contributes to the strengthening of further cooperation between scholars.
