KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
I've posted questions to H-Russia in the past. I should explain that my specialty is US history, but some of my recent projects have had a Russian dimension.
I'm currently working on a biography of Victor Arnautoff, born in Russia, who spent much of his adult life in San Francisco. However, after he retired from the Stanford art faculty, he emigrated to the Soviet Union, arriving in 1963. He died in 1979.
Dear all,
I forward a message from Professor Stephen Hall (University of Lincoln), who is seeking information that members of the list may be able to help with:
Call for proposals: Deadline extended to April 18 for panel, roundtable, and paper proposals for 2014 New York Conference on Asian Studies and Mid-Atlantic Region Association for Asian Studies

Dear all,
I was trying to explain the concept of 'demshiza' to a Swiss colleague earlier today and was surprised to find out that a quick web search did not yield any results in English. Are you aware of any literature on 'demshiza' in English (or maybe other language apart from Russian)? Or is it indeed a blank spot?
Thank you very much in advance. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
