Not every university provides an opportunity to defend a dissertation in History. But SUSU does! The Dissertation Council accepts candidate and doctoral dissertations for defence both in Russian History (speciality code 5.6.1) and in Historiography, Source Studies, and Methods of Historical Research (speciality code 5.6.5).
The Council was created in 2003, and at its origins stood the specialist in ancient Russian music Nikolai Parfentiev and the researcher of Ural science Viktor Balakin.
