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.

Detail space localization of the preserved border objects is an important part of the research. History of border shaping in this part of Europe is studied in the context of comparative political history of Russia and Sweden. The particularities that had led to the transmission of North-Western part of Novgorod Land to Sweden are deeply studied. Also the demarcation process of 1617-1621 is under consideration. The functioning of the border during 17th century is an important object of the research (including legal and illegal crossing): firstly, crossing by embassies and rent militaries and secondly - deserters from both sides. The measures undertook by both administration are also of great interest. The attempts to make the border a guarded line after the talks about plague in Ingermanland in 1629-1630 are studied. The infrastructure of the border, changes in it in 17th century are an important object of the research: since delimitation up to its hardly destroying in 1702-1703.
