Ab Imperio is an international humanities and social sciences peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of complex societies and social dynamics. Since 2000, Ab Imperio has been developing a distinct version of new imperial history in dialogue with postcolonial scholarship, primarily on the material of the post-Soviet region but by no means confined to it.
Founded and published in Kazan, Tatarstan, Russian Federation, in 2013 Ab Imperio moved its main office to the United States. The journal is distributed globally and available from Project Muse and EBSCO Historical Abstracts with Full Text. In addition, Ab Imperio has a broader distribution in post-Soviet countries than any other academic periodical, foreign or domestic, and is available in hardcopy at almost 100 libraries in the region.
This quarterly, bilingual journal publishes submissions in English or Russian. All manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review. In its first quarter century, Ab Imperio has featured nearly 1,400 scholars from 40 countries. Our contributor base is evenly split: one-third from post-Soviet countries (including about 20% from the Russian Federation), one-third from North America (28%), and one-third from Western Europe and the rest of the world.
Ab Imperio is indexed in Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection (Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Current Contents – Arts & Humanities), РИНЦ, Historical Abstracts (EBSCO), American Bibliography of Slavic & Eastern European Studies, ERIH PLUS (an academic journal index for the Humanities and Social Sciences society in Europe), and ANVUR (Italy), as a scientific and class A journal.
Ab Imperio is an affiliated journal of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies. Since 2017, Ab Imperio has been published with support of the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Issues of Ab Imperio are published in May (#1), September (#2), December (#3), and March (#4).
