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.

The geographic information system (GIS) is based on the first and only Russian Imperial Census of 1897 and the First All-Union Census of the Soviet Union of 1926 and features the information about national, linguistic, religious, and social estate groups. The following HSE staff members and students took part in the project: Ivan Sablin, Aleksandr Kuchinskiy, Aleksandr Korobeinikov, Sergey Mikhaylov, Oleg Kudinov, Yana Kitaeva, Pavel Aleksandrov and Maria Zimina.
The databases were generated with QGIS - a Free and Open Source Geographic Information System and can be used for producing any necessary maps and GIS systems for individual studies of the period which require the administrative boundaries and demographic information.
