The documents presented at this conference revealed the sources that had been defining our vision of history, social structure, culture, and spirituality of the Eastern nations since the ancient times.

The conference topics included 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 relationships with the Eastern countries; research findings of the archaeological and epigraphic expeditions in collaboration with the other academic organizations and universities.

The current era is the time of intensifying ethno-religious conflicts, rebirth of archaic spiritual movements, and new approaches appearing of defining the cultural and ethnic identities of certain peoples of the East. The research of these issues is gaining more and more relevance and urgency. 

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