We organise events and promote
Russian language learning. We are actively involved with, and
a founder member of, the Soviet War
Memorial in London. We facilitate cultural contacts between
the UK, Russia and the FSU. And we publish a journal, the SCRSS
Digest.
Statement from the Trustees of the SCRSS
The Society for Co-operation in Russian and Soviet Studies, established
in 1924, is an independent educational charity founded to promote
knowledge of the arts, culture and history of the USSR (1917-1991).
Its current activities and historic collections cover all fifteen
republics of the former USSR.
To promote the Society's objectives of supporting cultural relations
between the peoples of the UK and the current states of the former
USSR, the Trustees of the Society call on parties in the conflict
in Ukraine to end military confrontation, to address the causes
of the war, and to adopt peaceful means to resolve political and
cultural divisions.
The Trustees view with concern and disapproval the acceleration
of sanctions in the civil and cultural spheres; such escalation
undermines the activities of the Society and impairs the development
of cordial relations between its associates.
