CFP: “The Long Perestroika from Below”

Deadline: July 31, 2026

edited by Juliane Fürst, Bradley Gorski, Veronika Pehe, Kathleen Smith

We invite submissions of abstracts for a collective volume to be published by CEU Press under the title “The Long Perestroika from Below.” The volume will be open access and aims for publication in the summer of 2027. It wants to be a comprehensive overview over the historical research on Perestroika ‘from below’, meaning the experience of and activism in perestroika actions, which took place across Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and outside the centres of political power usually associated with the reforms and campaigns of the time. We encourage scholars at all stages of their career to participate in this volume, which aims to turn perestroika research on its head by switching the perspective of investigation from Gorbachev and political elites to society.
