From universities across Europe to Rimini to talk about the Russian revolution a hundred years later. This is what will happen with a conference organized by the University of the Republic of San Marino and scheduled in the City Museum of the Romagna capital on 20 and 21 October. He was inspired by one of the greatest Italian historians, Luciano Canfora, who as director of the School of Historical Studies of the University of San Marino gave impetus to an initiative that will see him speak together with Alexis Bérélowitch of the Université Paris IV — Sorbonne, Ettore Cinnella from the University of Pisa, Marcello Flores d'Arcais from the University of Siena, Domenico Losurdo from the University of Urbino, Silvio Pons from the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata', Donald Sassoon from the University of London and Maurice Aymard from the University of the Titan.
“After a hundred years, Bertrand Russell's judgment is confirmed – explains Canfora – who said that the revolution that broke out in Russia would affect the whole world for a long time. Words contained in the report he wrote following his stay in Russia and which appeared in Italy in 'L'Ordine Nuovo' directed by Antonio Gramsci. Who, perhaps, personally translated these words from English”.
The conference, entitled "The Russian revolution: was it necessary?", is scheduled for the afternoon of Friday 20 October, from 16 pm, and in the morning of Saturday 21 October, from 9:30. Admission is free. More information on the website www.unirsm.sm.
