The LMU has a rich history of engaging with the states and societies of Eastern Europe. The Institute of East and Southeast European History (Abteilung für Geschichte Osteuropas und Südosteuropas) explores the fascinating and turbulent past of this region. Our faculty, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students and visiting scholars cover a wide range of regional, thematic and chronological topics, including, for instance, the history of Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, the religious history of East Central Europe, and ethnic conflicts in the Balkans.
