The conference is dedicated to the memory of Professor Koleneko.
Dr. Vadim Koleneko, leading researcher at the Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was an outstanding Russian specialist in the history of Quebec in the 17-21 centuries. He specialized in the socio-economic and political history of French Canada, which had determined the development of the Canadian federation as a whole. In his fundamental monograph “French Canada in the Past and Present: Essays on the History of Quebec in the 17-20th Centuries”, Vadim Alexandrovich, for the first time in Russian historical science, analyzed a wide range of issues related to the historical evolution of French Canada. A separate merit of Dr. Koleneko was his huge contribution to the development and popularization of Canadian studies in Russia, creation of academic schools as well as his academic and pedagogical activities at the International Russian-Canadian Center "Moscow-Quebec" of RSUH, which has gone to produce numerous works and other academic achievements of his students.
