History of the conference ‘Bubrikhov Readings’
The decision to hold the scientific conference ‘Bubrikhov Readings’ was made in 2000 - in the year of the 110th anniversary of the birth of Professor D. V. Bubrikh, the founder of Russian Finno-Ugric Studies.
Since 2001, the conference has been regularly organised by the Institute of Language, Literature and History of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Department of Baltic-Finnish Philology of Petrozavodsk State University. Until 2016 the conference was annual, since 2017 it has been organised every two years.
The conference ‘Bubrichov Readings’ is a discussion platform that brings together researchers and teachers from a number of disciplines related to Finno-Ugric topics. The conference is traditionally attended not only by leading scientists, but also by young specialists and postgraduate students from Karelia and other regions of the Russian Federation, as well as from Finland and Estonia.
The scientific conference, supporting the best traditions of the Bubriлhov School, has become an effective tool for the development of research in the field of Baltic-Finnish philology and culture in North-West Russia, a platform for the exchange of experience and opinions, as well as for the growth of young personnel. During the 20-year history of the conference a wide range of issues has been discussed. The results of this work have been published in the form of eight proceedings (2002, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2020).
