reflection and critical reading of the past, while major questions arise 
about the present: Why does the Russian Revolution still concerns us? 
How can this event be approached today, three decades after the fall of 
the Berlin Wall?

Focusing on the connection between thedominant ideology and art, this 
Conference explores the way in which the October Revolution and the 
socio-political changes that followed affected the cultural production 
of the Soviet Union as well as that of other countries.
