We would like to announce officially that the Institute for Slavic Studies (ISS) and Moscow State University of Education (MSPU) have concluded a contract between themselves and with the Editorial Team, stating that MSPU has become a new Publisher of the international academic journal Slověne = Словѣне.

Editor-in-Chief of the journal Prof. Fjodor Uspenskij and Rector of MSPU Acad. Alexey Semenov

MSPU finances the journal but does not play any role in the internal affairs of the Editorial Team, which assures its readers, authors, reviewers, staff, and members of the Editorial Board that there will be no change in the principles of the journal now or in the future. With the organizational and financial support of MSPU, our journal will continue to develop.
