History and Modern Perspectives

Mission Statement

The Editorial Board of the journal History and Modern Perspectives  is committed to collaboration with authors and independent editors, and publishing articles about the past, present and future of Russia and foreign countries. We do believe that history, besides its own scientific and educational values, plays the key role in understanding and facing today’s challenges. The quality of publication is of paramount importance for us, and we provide, with our best efforts, all kind of necessary support for our authors and reviewers.

Journal concept

The journal is addressed to historians, political scientists and everyone interested in the past, present and future of Russia and foreign countries. The purpose of the journal is to publish original scientific results on the formation of theories of history, interpretation of historical facts, new approaches to the historical source, analysis of the past and the present, and forecasts of the future. The past is one and only, but the stories, the truths that explain the past - are different. History is multiconceptual. Only in a dialogue between representatives of different disciplines and specializations is it possible to develop a tolerant view of the complex ambiguous pages of history and its political component.

The journal positions itself as a multidisciplinary platform for exchanging opinions, publishing articles, reviews, interviews, and reflections on published materials. Studies that contain a clearly defined problem-setting focus, are reasoned, with a clear author's position and the formulation of new scientific conclusions are welcome. Works are accepted not only in Russian, but also in foreign languages.
