University of Sussex Russian Society

Russian Studies, including Soviet and East European Studies, was an integral part of the University's School of European Studies from its earliest days in 1962.
Sadly, after more than forty years, in 2003 the decision was taken not to admit any further students - see the University's Bulletin newsletter.

However, the Russian Society at Sussex lives on! Continuing the tradition of the Russian Studies seminars, an occasional programme of talks and other events is now organised.
There is an email list providing details of these events and other items of interest - please email Matthew Platts to be added to that list.

• Russian and East European Studies seminar series
  Friday 11 November 2016, 5pm in the Language Learning Centre, Arts A, University of Sussex
  Professor Robin Milner-Gulland and Dr Stella Rock
  Ultimate Russia: Solovki, its great monastery, and its strange place in Russian history
  

  In the White Sea, only 100 miles from the Arctic Circle, the Solovetsky Archipelago has for over 500 years been a remarkable and beautiful outpost of Russia. Its landscape, its meaning for Orthodoxy and its unusual, sometimes sinister history will be introduced, with recent pictures, by Robin Milner-Gulland and Stella Rock.

  All welcome - refreshments provided.
