«Russia: A History of Ideas» is a seminar arranged by Arr: The Norwegian Journal of the History of Ideas. The seminar takes place at The Norwegian University Center in St. Petersburg. Participants that do not present papers are most welcome to attend the seminar.
For those following Western media coverage, Russia might seem to be both a strange and dangerous neighbour. Russian culture, the people and its leaders are portrayed simplistically in reports offering little insight. An awareness of Russian history, politics and mentality is often absent. This seminar and the following issue of «Arr: The Norwegian Journal of the History of Ideas» is an attempt to nuance shallow caricatures and to understand Russia better. Our aim is to collect articles on Russian history of ideas that shed light on the historic relations between Russia and the West, or that analyse today’s Russian self-understanding and patterns of conduct.
