St. Petersburg Annual of Asian and African Studies

Applying the image of a peach tree for our Annual we dare to express the idea that within a year it has grown up and strengthened. Among the authors of St. Pe-tersburg Annual – 2013 one can find the names of scholars from St. Petersburg, as well as Moscow, Ufa and other cities, including foreign ones. St. Petersburg An-nual has received support and scientific guidance from the National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow) and its Center for Asian and African Studies (St. Petersburg) in particular. There is a good reason to believe that this partnership will be comprehensive and fruitful.
