The Franco-Eurasian Entanglements Network brings together a range of researchers to examine the transnational circulation of ideas, cultures, and people between France and Eurasia from the nineteenth century, with a particular focus on \u00e9migr\u00e9s of the\u00a0Russian Empire and Soviet Union (including its constituent lands and peoples).<\/p>\n
Peter the Great (1682-1721) visited Paris in 1717, and he incorporated French design into his own \u201cwindow on the West,\u201d St. Petersburg. French fashions were further entrenched in the Russian court under Empress Elizabeth (1741-62). It was Catherine the Great who instructed that French be the official language of the imperial Russian court. In turn, during the late nineteenth century, Paris and the south of France had become the notorious playground of the imperial Russian nobility. Imperial Russian \u00e9migr\u00e9s also flocked to France, often becoming a formative part the the radical scene there.<\/p>\n
This network extends on QMUL’s past and present renown in both French and Russian studies, examining the transnational circulations and exchange of knowledge between these two centres and contributors to the modern world.<\/p>\n
Composed of scholars interested in the intellectual, ideological, cultural, and radical circulations, the network seeks to assess exchanges in the spheres of:<\/p>\n

However, new intellectual and artistic trends were often imported by immigrants, many of them from Central and Eastern Europe (Fotiade 2001; Tihanov 2004). After Berlin declined as a diasporic capital in the early 1930s, thousands of Eastern Europeans settled in Paris. The influx of innovative currents of thought (Marxism; phenomenology; existential thought) and artistic avant-gardes (Dadaism; Futurism; Surrealism) from Central and Eastern Europe radically shifted cultural life in France between the wars. The significance of Paris as the capital of Russians who fled the Revolution and Civil War is relatively well-explored (Livak This diasporic \u201carchipelago\u201d was by no means unified, especially concerning aesthetics and political affiliation. Many of the \u00e9migr\u00e9 networks, journals and institutions of interwar Paris are still relatively little explored, especially when it comes to the contemporary relevance of women or non-Russophone authors in exile.
