What were the causes and effects of the Russian Revolution?
A wide range of actors, such as foreign governments, financial spheres, big political parties (radicals and socialists in France, social-democrats in Germany, etc.), public opinion and the international press, European and Asian revolutionary movements or the Russian Diaspora, many of whom returned to Russia, reacted with vigour, enthusiasm, fear or embarrassment to the Russian events and frequently attempted to instrumentalise them. The spread of information about the Revolution and the manner in which revolutionary events were represented in Russia and in other countries also remain little studied. This conference seeks to explore the impact of this cataclysm, inside the Empire as well as on the periphery and abroad. Preference will be given to original paper proposals, based on concrete research cases, offering new insights into the history of the 1905 Russian Revolution and examining the changes that occurred in the period between 1905 and 1907 in all the fields mentioned above.
