The meeting will be held in French with simultaneous translation into Russian.
Russia and Belgium have fascinating pages of history together. There have been several periods when our countries were closely connected, and when people from both countries interacted a lot. One of these was the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and the period of the First World War, which began exactly 110 years ago.
We’re so excited to announce that the famous historian professor Vladimir Ronin will be giving three lectures on this dramatic and fateful period! These lectures are a must-listen for anyone interested in history.
We invite you to join us at the History Club, a new project of the Russian House in Brussels, for these discussions.
