For anyone studying Russian extremists in Ukraine:



CALL FOR PAPERS [

"'Neo-Eurasianism,' the 'Conservative Revolution,' and the 'New Right' in=
 Post-Soviet Russia" - a special issue of "Forum noveishchei vostochnoevr=
opeiskoi istorii i kul'tury" (http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forumrus=
s.html).

Deadline for non-Russian papers (yet to be translated): 31 December 2008.=

Deadline for Russian-language papers: 31 January 2009.
Deadline for submission of edited final version: 30 March 2009.

ZIMOS, the Eichstaett Institute for Central and East European Studies in =
Bavaria, invites research papers for a 2009 special issue of its interdis=
ciplinary Russian-language web journal "Forum for Contemporary East Europ=
ean History and Culture" (vol. 6). The Russian "Forum" has been published=
 twice per year, since 2004, as a scholarly WWW periodical supplementing =
ZIMOS's printed German-language "Forum f=FCr osteurop=E4ische Ideen- und =
Zeitgeschichte."

We are looking for properly footnoted, scholarly researched, well-structu=
red, and thoroughly edited investigations into the biographies, ideas, in=
fluence and activities of contemporary Russian representatives of so-call=
ed "neo-Eurasianism," the "Conservative Revolution" and "New Right," e.g.=
 Lev Gumilev, Aleksandr Panarin, Aleksandr Dugin, Mikhail Remizov, and ot=
hers.  Texts should have a length of approx. 3,000 to 10,000 words, and b=
e based on primary as well as secondary sources, which are fully listed i=
n the footnotes.=20

We are interested in both, original papers that have not been published y=
et, as well as papers that might have been printed in Russian or other la=
nguages before, but are, so far, not available in Russian, on the WWW. In=
 the case that a paper has been published in Russian language before, in =
a printed edition (journal, collected volume) only, authors will have to =
provide an explicit permission, by the editors of the periodical or book =
where the article originally appeared, for re-publication as a PDF file i=
n our web journal.

Papers accepted content-wise for publication will only be published in ca=
se of a proper adaptation of its linguistic quality and formal style  (fo=
otnotes, headings, references, citations etc.) to the standards of the "F=
orum" by the author/s, by 30 March 2009. A model article showing the form=
al style required of the final editions of the papers to be prepared by t=
he author/s may be found at the following site: http://www1.ku-eichstaett=
=2Ede/ZIMOS/forum/docs/Umland6.pdf
All versions of the papers should be submitted as MS Word Documents.

For authors who wish to publish an English-, German- or Ukrainian-languag=
e text on the special issue's topic in Russian language, we can provide q=
ualified Russian translating services. However, the costs for this transl=
ation will have to borne fully by the author her- or himself. In addition=
, after the provision of a draft translation by our translator, authors w=
ill be required to carefully check the translated Russian draft version, =
before the translator produces the final version of the text for print. (=
Our translator is a native Russian speaker and philologist with considera=
ble translating experience, yet not a social scientist who will have full=
 understanding of the papers' arguments.) The translator will, after deli=
vering a satisfactory final version of the translation, have to be paid, =
by the author/s, EUR0.07 per word of the English, German or Ukrainian ori=
ginal version of the article, i.e., for instance, EUR350 for a 5,000-word=
 article. (This
 word count includes also non-Russian bibliographical literature listed i=
n the footnotes that will note be translated into Russian or transcribed =
in Cyrillic, yet the formal style of which will be adapted to the format =
of the "Forum" by the translator.) The copyright of the Russian version o=
f the article remains with the translator until the author has made payme=
nt for the translation.

Authors of texts that have been published in English, German or Ukrainian=
 before are advised to clarify with the editors of the periodical, web si=
te, or book where the paper originally appeared whether re-publication in=
 a Russian-language web journal is permissible. The editors of the "Forum=
" will not take responsibility for any violations of copyright.

Please, submit your text until either 31 December 2008 (non-Russian paper=
s), or 31 January 2009 (Russian papers), as an MS Word Document, to:=20
