Opening of the German Part of the Richard Stites Memorial Library
Director of the HSE in St. Petersburg S. Kadochnikov, director of DFG in Moscow Wilma Rethage, Deputy Director of HSE in St. Petersburg D. Aleksandrov, Chair of the Department of History A. Semyonov, Head of the Library E. Kosareva and Director of the Center of the Organization of Science and Academic Development N. Alyoshina took part in the opening ceremony of the Historical Library.
In her speech Wilma Rethage noted that the event had a great symbolic meaning and was a tribute to the tradition started back in 1949. At that time one of the first initiatives of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft was exactly the spreading of the German scientific literature among libraries worldwide. Moreover, the director of the Moscow office of DFG said that this gift emphasizes the top match status of the HSE School of Social Sciences and Humanities in St. Petersburg. Wilma Rethage also expressed the hope that further cooperation within Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the HSE St. Petersburg will continue in the administrative and other formats. In her eyes the gift has a philosophical idea, forcing scientists to ponder either their own work is focused on the new scientific knowledge production, or its impact on the society. This debatable topic opens up possibilities for developing of the social sciences and humanities, not only in Russia and Germany, but all over the world.
Chair of the Department of History, Alexander Semyonov noted that the library is named after the American historian Richard Stites not only because he was the one who pioneered the comparative perspective of the gender issue in pre-revolutionary Russia and the Soviet history, but also because researchers from St. Petersburg History Department develop direction global comparative and transnational history.
The Department of History thanks the partners from DFG and looks forward to further co-operation with German universities in order to expand the collection of the Memorial Library.
