200 Years of Classic Oriental Studies in Russia: Source Studies, Archive Science, and Archaeology. Historical Sources Section 200 Years of Classic Oriental Studies in Russia: Source Studies, Archive Science, and Archaeology. Historical Sources Section

 
The documents presented at this conference were created in the ancient times. These papers define our vision of history, social structure, culture, and spirituality of the Eastern nations and peoples of the past.

The conference topics were following: the accurate reading, translation, and interpretation of literary sources; descriptions of artifacts, and a rich variety of other objects of cultural and historical heritage; scholarship on the history of Russian Oriental Studies, and Russia’s relations with the Eastern countries; research findings of the archaeological and epigraphic expeditions by the Institute in collaboration with the other academic organizations and universities.

Our time is the era of intensifying ethno-religious conflicts, rebirth of archaic spiritual movements, and new approaches to defining the cultural and ethnic identity of certain peoples of the East. The research of these issues is becoming more and more important and urgent. 

The conference brought together more than 70 speakers from Russian and foreign academic and educational institutions. A significant number of articles was written and was published in a special issue of “The Proceedings of the Institute of Oriental Studies.”
