ROSSIISKAYA ISTORIYA is an academic journal primarily focused on publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research in the field of history, with particular emphasis on Russian and Soviet history, as well as global, transnational, and comparative historical studies.

The journal seeks to foster scholarly dialogue across time periods, regions, and methodologies. We especially welcome works that deepen the understanding of:
» Russian and Soviet history
» Global, transnational, and comparative history
» Historiography and theory of history
» Archival studies and historical documentation
» Cultural heritage and historical memory
» Historical sociology and the politics of history

While history remains the core of the journal’s mission, ROSSIISKAYA ISTORIYA strongly encourages multidisciplinary submissions that engage with history through the lenses of other disciplines. Preferred areas include, but are not limited to:
» Arts and Humanities
» Political Science and International Relations
» Cultural Studies and Anthropology
» Literature and Linguistics
» Philosophy and Ethics
» Sociology and Social Theory
» Media and Communication Studies
» Religious Studies
» Education and Pedagogy
» Gender and Women’s Studies
» Migration and Diaspora Studies
» Science and Technology in Historical Context

This inclusive scope reflects our commitment to supporting a broad, interdisciplinary understanding of historical processes and their relevance to contemporary scholarly debates.
Special Issues are announced regularly and serve as a platform for cross-disciplinary research on specific themes.
