Open Lecture by Prof. Dominic Lieven：
“Reflections on a life spent in Russian and Imperial history”（12/2）
Abstract
Dominic Lieven is an Honorary Senior Fellow of Trinity College, University of Cambridge and a member of the British Academy of Sciences.
Specialising in Russian imperial history and empire/czarism, he was awarded the Wolfson History Prize in 2010 for his book Russia Against Napoleon: The Battle for Europe, 1807 to 1814 (2009) and Towards the Flame: Empire, War and the End of Tsarist Russia (2015), which won the Pushkin House Prize in 2016.
Other books include The Rise and Fall of Empires (1 & 2) (translated by Hidekazu Matsui, Nihon Keizai Shinsha, 2002), In the Shadow of the Gods: The Emperor in World History (2022), and numerous other imperial histories, mainly of Russia.
This lecture will be a comprehensive review of his life spent on the study of Russian imperial history. It will be an important meeting in the history of historiography to see what additions and corrections he will make to the ‘imperial historiography’ that is currently the focus of interest in European historiography, and what interpretations based on imperial historiography will be developed with regard to the Russo-Ukrainian War.
