LIA staff took part in the Summer School of the School of Historical Sciences of the Faculty of Humanities "The Economy of Everyday Life in the History of Russia in the 19th–20th Centuries."

From August 25 to 27, 2025, the Gorki Leninskiye Museum-Reserve hosted a summer school that brought together historians and economists from various universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The lectures were delivered by leading researchers in the study of inequality and consumption in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
One of the school's primary goals was to foster communication between students of history and economics, enabling them to master the methodology of interdisciplinary research in economic history.
The unique atmosphere of the historic estate provided an ideal setting for delving into the subject. The school's program was complemented by museum tours, allowing participants to connect theoretical knowledge with the material world of the past. Attendees took part in a lecture-walk titled "The Estate Economy at the Turn of the Century," explored the daily life within V.I. Lenin's study-apartment, and discussed the country's transformation from the Russian Empire to Soviet everyday life.
Throughout the school, participants listened to lectures by distinguished economic historians on various aspects of the everyday economy in the 19th and 20th centuries. They also honed their practical skills in methodological workshops focused on applying different tools in research on the economics of everyday life. The school's final stage featured the presentation of projects from their own interdisciplinary group research.
Vladislav Dreby shevsky, a school participant:"Thank you to all the colleagues who took part in this wonderful event. The school left me with very pleasant impressions. Even though it wasn't very long, I was able to absorb a lot of interesting information in a short time, work productively, and recharge for the upcoming academic year. Thank you for this event! I hope we can participate in another interesting project together again!"
The organizers express their gratitude to the Bureau of Scientific Policy of the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty's Scientific Commission, the leadership of the School of Historical Sciences, and, of course, the staff of the Gorki Leninskiye Museum-Reserve. Thanks to their support, the Summer School was able to provide participants with complete immersion in academic work within this remarkable historical setting.
