"Medieval & Early Modern Studies in Russia": on Past and Upcoming Conferences

The article is devoted to the Nationwide Scientific Conference "Medieval & Early Modern Studies in Russia" held in June 2022 at the Institute of General History. Describing the thematic sections of the conference (on political, economic, and military history, auxiliary historical disciplines, historiography, history of Byzantium and the East, and others) and analyzing the composition of the participants, the author remarks the predominance of speakers from Moscow and St. Petersburg and suggests that the next All-Russian Congress of Medievalists should take place outside the capital. In addition, having compared the experience of this conference with similar events organized abroad, the author raises the question of the need to recreate the All-Russian Association of Medievalists and specialists in Early Modern History.
