We are still accepting suitable submissions for the following 5th special
issue, and are especially interested in papers focussing on specific or
understudied sub-themes within the general issue of anti-Western tendencies
in current Russia. For instance, we will have a sub-section on anti-Western
tendencies in contemporary Russian literature.

We require properly footnoted, scholarly researched, well-structured, and
thoroughly edited texts with a length of no less than 4,000 and no more than
14,000 words. Papers should be based on primary as well as secondary
sources, which are fully listed in the footnotes.

We are not only interested in original papers that have not been published.
We are happy to re-publish papers that might have been printed in Russian or
other languages before, but are, so far, not available in Russian language,
on the WWW. In the case that a paper has been published in Russian language
before, in a printed edition (journal, collected volume) only, authors will
have to provide an explicit permission, by the editors of the periodical or
book where the article originally appeared, for re-publication as a PDF file
in our web journal.

Papers accepted content-wise for publication will only be published in case
of a proper adaptation of its linguistic quality and formal style 
(footnotes, headings, references, citations etc.) to the standards of the
"Forum" by the author/s, by 1 July 2011. Please, use this text as a model
with regard to the formal style required of the final editions of the papers
to be prepared for publication:

http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forum/docs/forumruss14/7Shekhovtsov.pdf

All versions of the papers should be submitted as MS Word Documents.

For authors who wish to publish an English-, German- or Ukrainian-language
text on the special issue's topic in Russian language, we can provide
qualified Russian translating services. Unfortunately, however, the costs
for this translation will have to borne fully by the author her- or himself.
In addition, after the provision of a draft translation by our
expert-translator, authors will be required to carefully check the
translated Russian draft version, before the translator produces the final
version of the text for print. 

The translator will, after delivering a satisfactory final version of the
translation, have to be paid, by the author/s, EUR0.07 per word of the
English, German or Ukrainian original version of the article, i.e., for
instance, EUR350 for a 5,000-word article. (This word count includes also
non-Russian bibliographical literature listed in the footnotes that will not
be translated into Russian or transcribed in Cyrillic, yet the formal style
of which will be adapted to the format of the "Forum" by the translator.)
The copyright of the Russian version of the article remains with the
translator until the author has made payment for the translation.

Authors of texts that have been published in English, German or Ukrainian
before are advised to clarify with the editors of the periodical, book, or
non-Russian web site where the paper originally appeared whether
re-publication in a Russian-language web journal is permissible. The editors
of the "Forum" will not take responsibility for any violations of copyright.

Please, submit your text until either 1 May 2011 (non-Russian papers), or 1
June 2011 (Russian papers), as an MS Word Document, to:
