- War and society: the phenomenon of the “Soviet” in the context of the Great Patriotic (World War II) and Cold Wars. Military and “peaceful” hardware and technology.
- Postwar repressions. The fight with dissidence.
- The Soviet childhood: Utopia and reality. Pedagogical theories. Toys and games.
- The foreigners in the USSR and Soviet people abroad. Migration, tourism, espionage. The image of “The Other”.
- Social, political and cultural boarders: the history of Soviet concepts and practices .
- The language of the official soviet art: from socialist realism to deideologization.
- Memory and oblivion of the “Soviet”.
We invite undergraduate and PhD students specializing in the humanities and social sciences to send us their short papers to participate in the conference. No remote participation is possible. The conference languages are Russian and English.
