Yuliia Kurnyshova and Andrey Makarychev will present the book they edited: Studying Russia and its Wars. Academic Stocktaking in Times of Insecurity (Brill, 2026). Their presentation will be discussed by Clémentine Fauconnier, lecturer at Université de Haute-Alsace.

Their book discusses how the current war in Ukraine makes the scholarly community reconsider previous assumptions of Russia’s domestic regime and security policies, and think of novel approaches to study Russia-produced insecurities. This edited volume calls for a scholarly audit of the academic legacy that has prevented most researchers and public intellectuals from not only predicting, but also considering as a serious possibility the full-scale war that Russia unleashed against Ukraine.

This next session of the CORUSCANT seminar will take place on Tuesday 17 February, 16:30-18:30 (CET), room Room 0.006, Recherche Nord building, Campus Condorcet (Aubervilliers/Paris), and online.
