Conference venue: London School of Economics and Political Science, United Kingdom
Period: 25th - 26th February 2017
Deadline for submitting abstracts: 8th December 2016

Transnational interchanges between Western Europe and Russia surrounded the October  Revolution of 1917. These exchanges of ideologies and emigres led to mutual constructions of doctrines, politicised collectives, and eventually, a new experimental State. During and post the establishment of the USSR, new cross-cultural knowledge, pro-Soviet communities and indoctrination techniques evolved. This conference will seek to explore the transnational flows that impacted the revolution and those that were brought into being by virtue of its occurrence.
