Negotiating History Across Borders

22nd annual conference of Russian-German Historians' Commission meets in Voronezh, Russia


The theme of this year's conference is economic relations between Germany and Soviet Union, 1917-1991. Over a day and a half, fourteen presentations are made by Commission members as well as by those who answered a Call-for-Papers. One session is devoted to "Nazi's Forced Labor and Germany's Historical Responsibility." For detailed program, see here.

Before the Voronezh meeting, an event for the release of the last of the three-volume joint history book was held at the reception house of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 9th. Russian President V. Putin and German Chancellor Merkel sent messages of congratulations respectively.
