The journal encourages contributions that integrate various disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies to provide a holistic understanding of historical events and processes in Russian and Eurasian contexts. - Focus on Marginalized Voices:
It highlights research that brings to light the experiences and perspectives of marginalized groups, including women, ethnic minorities, and dissidents, thereby enriching the historical narrative. - Exploration of Political and Cultural Dynamics:

The journal seeks to challenge and re-evaluate established historical narratives, encouraging authors to interrogate the sources and methodologies that shape our understanding of the past.
Trending and Emerging
- Decolonial Perspectives:
A growing trend towards examining Russia's colonial history and its implications for contemporary identities and politics, particularly in Central Asia and the Caucasus, reflects a shift towards decolonizing narratives. - Gender and Feminist Histories:
There is an increasing focus on women's roles and gender dynamics within historical contexts, revealing an interest in how gender intersects with broader socio-political structures. - Memory Studies and Historical Remembrance:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Imperial Histories:
There is a noticeable decline in publications focusing solely on the narratives of imperial expansion without considering the perspectives of those impacted by such policies. The journal seems to be shifting towards more nuanced discussions that include these perspectives. - Sole Focus on Military History:
While military history remains significant, fewer papers are dedicated exclusively to military campaigns or strategies, suggesting a broader interest in social and cultural histories instead. - Overemphasis on Major Political Figures:
The frequency of studies centered on key political figures is decreasing, as the journal increasingly prioritizes collective movements and grassroots experiences over individual biographies.
