ZIMOS, the Eichstaett Institute for Central and East European Studies in Upper Bavaria, invites English- and German-language research papers for a 2010 special issue of volume 14 of its biannual Germany-based print-journal "Forum für osteuropaeische Ideen- und Zeitgeschichte [Forum for the Ideas and Contemporary History of Eastern Europe]." See http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forum/onpaper.htm . Since 1997, the "Forum" has been published twice per year by Boehlau Publishers (Vienna, Cologne and Weimar). See http://www.boehlau.de/1433-4887.html . Since 2004, it has been supplemented by ZIMOS's interdisciplinary Russian-language web journal "Forum noveishei vostochnoevropeiskoi istorii i kul'tury [Forum for Contemporary East European History and Culture]" (http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forumruss.html ) where currently a similar Russian-language multi-issue project on the post-Soviet "New Right" is being implemented

We are looking for properly footnoted, scholarly researched, well-structured, and thoroughly edited English- or German-language investigations into the political ideas, world views, intellectual biographies, societal impact and various activities of contemporary Russian representatives of radical anti-Westernism and their sources in the history of Russia and other countries.

If it has been published in another language before, authors are required to provide proof of reprint permission, by the copyright holder of the original version of the article.
