CFP: When History Rhymes Too Much: Lessons for the Present from Central & Eastern Europe’s Past

Deadline: March 12, 2025

The weeks since January 20, 2025 have shocked the world with breathtaking failures to learn from history. From a second Munich Agreement to an American withdrawal from global engagements that recalls Mikhail Gorbachev’s pullbacks after 1988, repetition of the past has abruptly ended an eighty-year period of world history. If Mark Twain was right that “history rhymes,” it is clearly rhyming too much.

Central and eastern Europe have seen some of the most instructive precedents for today’s developments. Their history can therefore help us understand what is happening and how our future might unfold. Recognizing the moment’s urgency, Canadian Slavonic Papers invites proposals for relevant papers that might be included in flash forum to be published this summer.
