We have come here to Yalta for the third conference organized by the International Affairs journal with support of the Foreign Ministry of Russia to discuss Eurasian integration, an unprecedentedly broad subject, with people invited from a broad geographic space: we have guests from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Ukraine, Italy, and Russia and we are very glad to see all of you here. The subject covers a vast territory and large populations, great economies which have their problems but are gradually getting out of the crisis. I am looking forward to our discussion.

A panel discussion on the architecture of integration processes in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus in the post-Soviet area, featuring several experts on the topic, including Vladimir Grigor'evich Sokolenko, Deputy Director of the Foreign Policy Planning Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry; Tamara Guzenkova, Director, Center for Studies of the Problems of the Near Abroad, Russia's Institute for Strategic Studies, Doctor of Science (History); and Yari Gavrilechko, expert, NGO Fond obshchestvennoi bezopasnosti; and moderated by Armen Oganesyan, is presented. Sokolenko says the probability of the Eastern Partnership or the Vysehrad Group of Four getting into the European paradise is not very high. The final result is the same for all: During the past 20 years, none of these states have become a full-fledged member of the Western community. Meanwhile Guzenkova in regard to the EU, Russia demonstrates a temporary rapprochement based on considerations of convenience. Nevertheless, in each case, both Ukraine and Belarus have over the past 10 or even 15 years been working to diversify their political and economic space and striving to define an independent policy that would set them apart from both the eastern and western vectors.

This Biographical Dictionary describes the lives, works and aspirations of more than 150 women and men who were active in, or part of, women's movements and feminisms in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe. Thus, it challenges the widely held belief that there was no historical feminism in this part of Europe. These innovative and often moving biographical portraits not only show that feminists existed here, but also that they were widespread and diverse, and included Romanian princesses, Serbian philosophers and peasants, Latvian and Slovakian novelists, Albanian teachers, Hungarian Christian social workers and activists of the Catholic women's movement, Austrian factory workers, Bulgarian feminist scientists and socialist feminists, Russian radicals, philanthropists, militant suffragists and Bolshevik activists, prominent writers and philosophers of the Ottoman era, as well as Turkish republican leftist political activists and nationalists, internationally recognized Greek feminist leaders, Estonian pharmacologists and science historians, Slovenian 'literary feminists,' Czech avant-garde painters, Ukrainian feminist scholars, Polish and Czech Senate Members, and many more. Their stories together constitute a rich tapestry of feminist activity and redress a serious imbalance in the historiography of women's movements and feminisms.
