The grand opening of the International Historical School “Common History as a resource for the joint development of Russia and the CIS countries” took place at the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B.N.Yeltsin, the press service of the State Academic University of Humanities (GAU) reports.
The event was attended by Acting Rector of the KRSU Denis Fomin-Nilov and Co-Chairman of the Russian Historical Society, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Scientific Director of the Institute of General History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, President of the State Academic University of Humanities Alexander Chubaryan.
“Young scientists will be able not only to listen to lectures by experienced colleagues, but also to ask questions and exchange opinions. It is very important that everything takes place in Bishkek on the basis of KRSU. We attach great importance to the development of such universities. It is very good that representatives of other CIS countries have joined us. As for the university itself, we very much hope that it will become a platform where it will be possible to hold various events that are important not only for the development of Russian-Kyrgyz relations, but also for the entire CIS,” Chubaryan said in his video message.
Fomin-Nilov noted that the representatives of the school will demonstrate “the diversity of the common history.”
“We will learn to build a constructive dialogue, the future, with an understanding of this diversity, and not destroy the present,” he added.
An intensive educational program, round tables and discussions with leading Russian and Kyrgyz scientists are planned within the framework of the school.
Students from Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Hungary, Greece, Georgia, Italy, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Sweden, Serbia, Cuba, North Korea and Northern Macedonia participate in the International Historical School.
