2007 Annual SOYUZ Symposium
For its 2007 meeting, Soyuz invited submissions for presentations on the emergence of "Eurasia" as a geocultural space, distinct from and even opposing to "Europe".
The Symposium consisted of one lecture and three discussion panels with brief presentations and commentary: one each on Meyerhold's theatre, Pushkin's drama, and Prokofiev's music.
