We are thrilled to share this engaging program in honor of Val. This includes papers from distinguished scholars of early modern Russian history, including Simon Franklin, Nancy Kollmann, Elise Wirtschafter, and Michael Flier, among a host of others.

We look forward to bringing together the incredible work of these experts in history, literature, and Orthodox theology in honor of Val’s remarkable mentorship, scholarship, and collegial generosity, past, present, and future!
