The LSE IDEAS Russia Studies Programme focuses on the history of Russia, particularly the history of Imperial Russia. The Programme has two central aims:
1) to bring early-career academic historians from several Russian universities, particularly regional ones, to study as fellows at the LSE for one or three months and
2) to organize and present an international academic conference focusing on Russia's Struggle with Napoleon and the subsequent Congress of Vienna, timed to coincide with the bicentenary of the end of the war and the opening of the Congress. The conference organisers anticipate that Russia’s defeat of Napoleon will be celebrated in grand style in Russia. This conference would underscore the point that, contrary to nationalist mythology, Russia's defeat of Napoleon required a network of alliances with other European powers and illustrated that Russian and European security were indissolubly linked. This anniversary of Russia’s triumph over Napoleon will be a moment when Russian public awareness of the wars and their aftermath will be at its height. A historian's perspective, particularly from outside Russia, will interject an international note into the proceedings and support the best Russian scholars in what very well might become a raucous and political debate with strong contemporary political implications.
