Russia’s Sea Route to Globalisation. The Northeast Passage in the Long 19th Century

5. März 2025 | 15:15 OEZ | Helsinki, Aleksanteri Institut, Unioninkatu 40 Metsälalo | Raum: Humina (C324)

Das Aleksanteri Institut und das Max Weber Netzwerk Osteuropa laden Sie zum Vortrag vom Prof. Dr. Andreas Renner ein: Russia’s Sea Route to Globalisation. The Northeast Passage in the Long 19th Century.

Abstract
A shortcut to the riches of East Asia along the northern coast of Siberia – that was the dream of European seafarers in the 16th and early 21st centuries. In the centuries between, tsarist conquerors and Soviet engineers transformed the Arctic Ocean into a sea route to and from Siberia, largely sealing it off from foreign competition. What is less well known is that even in tsarist times, many dreamed of trading across the Arctic Ocean. This talk will focus on such plans and projects. It presents three case studies from 19th-century northern Russia and analyses the (planned) global networking and maritime ambitions of Russian and especially Siberian merchants.

Die Veranstaltung findet in Metsätalo im Aleksanteri Institut und online statt. Keine Registrierung nötig.
