Meet the speakers at our plenary session

Our conference is described as a research and practice conference, so alongside theoretical propositions and hypotheses, the presentations will also feature practical conclusions based on international research projects implemented by the authors and events they have held.

One such presentation, based on the analysis of a real-life case, will be given by Ekaterina Vladimirovna Averkiyeva, President of the Autonomous Nonprofit Organization “Innovation Center for the Development and Education of Children and Youth” and Senior Lecturer at Moscow State University of Education. She will present an overview of how the International Competition “Tell the World About Your Homeland” is helping to foster a positive image of modern Russia among people living abroad. Ekaterina Vladimirovna has analyzed several hundred entries submitted to the competition, and we eagerly await her conclusions and recommendations.

Another participant in our plenary session is Kirill Viktorovich Podyachev, PhD in Political Science, Research Fellow at the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In his presentation, “On the Geographical and Historical Prerequisites for the Formation of Russian Civilization,” he will provide a brief overview of the five main factors that shaped the fundamental sociocultural characteristics of Russian civilization and how these factors helped form unique macrosocial communities that define Russia as a civilization-state.     

We look forward to seeing you on February 6 at 10:30 at 2 Nizhnyaya Radishchevskaya Street, Moscow, at the House of Russian Abroad.
