Форма участия: on-line (zoom, skype и др.)

On February 21, 2023, the Slavic and Balkan States History Department of the Institute of History of St. Petersburg State University is holding a round table with international participation "1943 in the destinies of Slavic and Balkan peoples", which is designed to unite scientists studying the history of Central and Eastern Europe.

The beginning of 1943 was marked by a number of crucial events that had a significant impact on world history:
- The end of the Battle of Stalingrad, which marked a turning point during the Second World War;
- the Battle of the Neretva, which demonstrated the strengh and independence of the National Liberation Army of Yugoslavia and consolidated Yugoslavian peoples around the partisans and J.B. Tito;
- a series of punitive anti-partisan operations on the territory of Belarus and Ukraine and the interethnic tragedy in Volhynia, which raised the question of crimes against civilians and humanity, justice and the prosecution of war criminals.

1943 was a turning point during the Second World War, the year that determined the post-war future of the region of Central and Eastern Europe. It turned out to be a period of significant victories and terrible tragedies, a time when peoples began to reassess their participation in the war and ended with the Kharkov trial of Nazi war criminals (December 15-18, 1943) – the prologue of the international tribunal in Nuremberg.

Within the framework of the round table, analyzing the events and experience of 1943, it is supposed to discuss the following topics:
- The military-political significance of the events of 1943 in the destinies of the Slavic and Balkan peoples
- No statute of limitations: war crimes against humanity
- Commemorative practices of the 20th–21st centuries.
- Military events in art
