OMSK SOCIAL AND HUMANITARIAN READINGS–2022: EXPERIENCE OF INTERDISCIPLINARY DIALOGUE

This article is an author's analytical review that tells about the work of the conference «Omsk Social and Humanitarian Readings-2022», held on March 22–24 in the city of Omsk. The key presentations made are highlighted. Particular attention was paid to understanding the most dynamic and relevant parts of the discussion platform: the plenary session of the conference, as well as the thematic final event — the round table «The Religious Factor in Russia during the Civil War: Phenomenon, Significance and Regional Specificity». Interest in the work of the described scientific event is due to a number of circumstances. First, changes in the foreign policy situation have actualized the appeal to historical plots, mass consciousness and sociological research. Secondly, the conference became one of the first major events held in person. Thirdly, the conference was organized by three higher educational institutions, which is a reflection of the establishment of close contacts and the possibility of collaboration between representatives of the scientific community. The conference raised the problems of the development of sociological research and institutions, the formation and preservation of historical memory, in particular about the Great Patriotic War, intercultural communications, the impact of social networks and the transformation of a person's private space, the influence of church and religion on the development of a split in Russian society during the Civil War and many other topics. One of the outcomes of the conference was the formation of a common vision of scientists on the need for a methodological synthesis of the humanities. The methodological basis of the work was the problem-chronological method. This review is of interest to specialists in the study of the history of historical science, historical memory, intercultural communications, cultural anthropology and other problems of socio- humanitarian knowledge.
