About us

SGRR aims to help promote new approaches to the study of the Russian Revolution between the 1880s and 1932. From its foundation in the 1970s it has had two main activities:

an annual international conference, normally held over three days in early January
publications, notably the twice-yearly refereed journal Revolutionary Russia

Additionally, the SGRR sponsors panels at the annual BASEES conference, and has sponsored a number of document publications in Russia.
