Staying at the International Youth History School is a unique opportunity to expand one’s knowledge of the history and culture of Russia and the CIS countries, to meet with renowned researchers, heads of academic institutes, universities, and major archives. The issues of preserving and developing cross-cultural communications, strengthening interaction between youth of the CIS countries, developing socio-economic ties, and identifying promising areas of Eurasian cooperation were posed before the School participants.
