Natalia Narotchnitskaya will speak in Russian with interpretation in French.
Relations between Russia and the West are embedded in a history which is rich in cultural exchanges and saturated with numerous political misunderstandings. This relationship, which is crucial for both parties, is increasingly confronted by profound differences in memory, for example regarding ‘The Great Patriotic War.' This conference aims to identify these differences, and suggests that in future dialogue will be played out partly through readings of the past, whether they are separate or shared.

NATO: 75 Years of Strategic Solidarity
The war in Ukraine, burden-sharing between Allies, U.S. disengagement from Europe, new areas of conflict... At a time when the Alliance has just celebrated its 75th anniversary and the Stoltenberg era is drawing to a close after ten years at the head of the organization, NATO's agenda bears witness to the diversity of its areas of action, as well as to the different perceptions of the Allies on these issues.
Paris Naval Conference 2025: Naval Power and the Challenges of Securing Maritime Autonomy
Playing a crucial role in the global economy, the maritime economy, which includes maritime transport, fishing, the extraction of underwater resources, the leisure and tourism sectors and, increasingly, marine renewable energies, is particularly exposed to the deterioration of international relations when it is expressed primarily in common spaces. As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
