More than 750 panelists and participants are expected at the Convention. The program features 150 panels, including the screening of 12 new documentaries that will be announced shortly. The films include Watchers of the Sky, Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer, and Putin's Games.The Convention offers an exceptionally strong lineup of panels in all regions of the former Communist world and Eurasia: Russia, the Caucasus, Central Asia/Turkey-Greece/China, the Balkans, Ukraine/Belarus and Central Europe (including the Baltics and Moldova). Every year, the Program Committee has to be more selective in devising the lineup, due to the increasing number of proposals. The Central Europe and Balkans sections are the largest, with 25 and 23 panels respectively, followed by Russia and the Caucasus-21, Ukraine (and Belarus)-17, Central Asia/China/ Turkey/Greece-a combined 17, Nationalism Studies-13 and the new Migration section-8 panels.In its most visible section, the Convention will be hosting 17 special panels featuring new important books. The list includes Ian Buruma's Year Zero: A History of 1945, Andreas Wimmer's Ethnic Boundary Maker and Serhii Plokhy's The Last Empire: The Final Days of the Soviet Union, the latter event conducted in the form of a conversation with the author. The book panel Totally Unofficial: The Autobiography of Raphael Lemkin (by Donna Lee-Frieze) will be followed, in the next session,  by the documentary Watchers of the Sky, partly evoking the live of Raphael Lemkin. Other book panels will feature the latest monographs by Margarita Balmaceda (The Politics of Energy Dependency), David Crowe (War Crimes, Genocide &#38; Justice), Montserrat Guibernau (Belonging), Ipek Yosmaoglu (Blood Ties), Jan Grabowski (Hunt for the Jews), Maria Koinova (Varieties of Governance in Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Kosovo), Soeren Keil (Multinational Federalism in Bosnia), Stephen Jones (Georgia: A Political History), Lynn Tesser (Ethnic Cleansing and the EU), Elissa Helms (Innocence and Victimhood), Larry Markowitz (State Erosion), and Jessica Greenberg (Youth, Democracy, and the Politics of Disappointment in Serbia).
