This academic conference, titled “Four Windows to Reading Russia: National Culture, Famine, Empire, and Military,” aims to examine Russian history and society from a range of perspectives. Through interdisciplinary discussions of key issues—including ethnic art and the socialist economy, proletarian politics, historical perceptions of empire, and continuities within the Russian military—the conference seeks to deepen our understanding of the historical formation and transformation of Russian society. It also aims to promote scholarly exchange and discussion among researchers in Russian and Eurasian studies in Korea, expand the foundations for collaborative research, and strengthen both the academic expertise and broader scholarly base of Russian area studies.
