There are plenty of unexpected sides to St Petersburg: it is a city of writers, poets, architects, rock musicians and their admirers... It is multi-layered, but it always has a soul. Ekaterina Kalemeneva, Senior Lecturer at the Department of History, takes us on a textual walk around the city to find out where the biggest Beatles fan in the USSR lived, what Nabokov and Leningrad architects have in common, and where to find vinyl records.

The Master's programme 'Global and Regional History' has two educational tracks: historical and anthropological. The main goal of the programme is to prepare graduates to continue their academic careers. However, the students will also be able to work in the more applied fields: in museums, publishing companies, exhibitions, and marketing. Find out which courses await students and why the programme rejects traditional division into Russian and world history in the interview with Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov, the programme's Academic Supervisor.

Till October 23, 2022 HSE students will have an opportunity to assess the quality of their teachers’ work.

Emilien Mantel, a 2022 graduate of the Master’s Programme 'Global and Regional History', shared his personal experience and talked about plans for the future.
