Abstract

Russian studies have a decade-long tradition in Hungary. As part of a professional renewal following the change of the regime, new forums were established, including the Eötvös Lóránd University Russian Studies Institute, which later became a centre, and then was replaced by the Centre for the Research and Methodology of Russian Studies. In the meantime, Russian studies workshops were launched at other universities in Pécs, Szeged, Eger, Szombathely, and Debrecen. Research in Russian studies covers a broad spectrum in Hungary both in terms of time and topics, applying a multidisciplinary approach to Russian history and culture. The Russian Studies Hu periodical has undertaken to provide this multi-layered cultural and academic community with a medium and, along with it, a unique opportunity to present their most recent research findings in Russian studies. Representing a broad scholarly perspective, the periodical also promotes cooperation with international researchers studying Russian history and culture. The composition of the editorial board and the content of the issues published so far reflects this approach, with recognised international historians among the authors whose works have been published in the journal between 2019 and 2022. The issues of Russian Studies Hu provide an overview of the trends in modern Russian studies (after 2000). The periodical covers a wide range of historical genres and views and is strongly connected to historiographical approaches. This is especially true of the issues published after 2021, which we will pay particular attention to in our study.
