About the Journal
Central-European Studies is an interdisciplinary yearbook devoted to Central Europe and neighbouring regions viewed from a comparative perspective. Olga V. Khavanova is the editor-in-chief.
The Central-European Studies series was founded in 1999 at the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences by Tofik. M. Ismailov and Aleksandr S. Stykalin. The early issues of the series contained the proceedings of conferences devoted to Central-European history and culture from the Middle Ages to the present day or were festschrifts in honour of Russian historians who had made a significant contribution to the research of the region. In total, 9 issues were published between 1999 and 2017. In 2018, the publication was transformed into a yearbook intended to publish both the proceedings of conferences held under the auspices of the Interdisciplinary Central-European Seminar and articles complying with the scope of the yearbook.

Current Issue
Vol. 2023 No. 6 (2023): Central-European Studies
Issue 6 consists of articles based on presentations held at the conference “Women at the Heart of Europe” (2022) and the round table “Children of Different Nations” (2022). The authors address the role of women, whether as individuals, groups or social strata, in the history of Central Europe, focusing on the biographies of scientists, writers, women activists, activists and ordinary members of social organisations. Feminatives in Slavic languages and women’s images in fiction were the subjects of separate studies. Biographies of historical figures and writers are the focus of study in a special section on combinations and the coexistence of multiple national identities. New sections of the yearbook also introduce the reader to the symbolic side of modern diplomatic protocol, a systematic description of the scholar's creative heritage, and a review of a book by an international team of authors on the historical memory of the First World War.
