CONFERENCE SERIES
WESTERN EUROPE AND THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION: IMPORT AND EXPORT OF IDEOLOGIES,
POLITICS, COMMUNITIES
25th - 26th February
2017; London School of Economics and Political Science
Transnational interchanges between Western Europe and Russia surrounded the
October Revolution of 1917. These exchanges of ideologies and emigres led
to mutual constructions of doctrines, politicised collectives, and eventually,
a new experimental State. During and post the establishment of the USSR, new
cross-cultural knowledge, pro-Soviet communities and indoctrination techniques
evolved. This conference will seek to explore the transnational flows that
impacted the revolution and those that were brought into being by virtue of its
occurrence.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
- The Russian Revolution in global historical perspective
- Marxism and Russian culture and mentality
- Russian immigrants and Western elites on the eve of the revolution: links and
future influences
- Pilgrimage to Communist MeÓÓa: West European and American
visitors in Soviet Russia
- Consequences of the Russian revolution for world politics
- Pro-Soviet communities in Western Europe and the US: official diplomacy and
subversive groups
- Exporting the revolution via international solidarity
