The Department of History was created in 2012. The overarching goal of the department is systematic development of the field of global, comparative, and transnational history as a potent tool of overcoming the limitations of national history canon, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of social sciences and humanities, and brining new public relevance to historical knowledge. The department mission includes the development of new type of historical undergraduate and graduate education in Russia and pioneering new research fields in Russian historiography in dialogue with the global historical profession.

Reclus and Russia: Anarchism, World History and Geographic Determinism
The past decade has witnessed a renewal of interest in the work of the French anarchist and geographer Élisée Reclus and his circle of collaborators – his brother Élie Reclus, his cartographer Charles Perron, as well as Pëtr Kropotkin, Lev Mechnikov, and others. Historians of geography have highlighted and sought to account for the fact that these scientists all had strong ties to the anarchist movement. However, another commonality has often been overlooked or dismissed as an oddity: Reclus’ co-authors were almost exclusively of Russian origin or had received a considerable part of their scientific training in Russia.
Pascale will present the possibility of reading the Nouvelle Géographie Universelle in a Russian context, linking it to Russian debates on Darwinism, historicism, and environmental causation. In so doing, she will provide a new perspective on the politics-science interface in the work of Reclus, for whom anarchy and geography represented two strands of an interrelated endeavour.
