Eurasian Humanities Studies

***Eurasian Humanities Studies*** (Chinese: 欧亚人文研究; pinyin: Ōuyǎ Rénwén Yánjiū; Russian: Евразийские гуманитарные исследования) is a peer-reviewed academic journal. It is edited by the School of Russian Studies at Beijing Foreign Studies University and published by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. The journal studies the cultures, societies, and ideas of the countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt. Its topics include the Slavic countries, the South Caucasus, Central Asia, West Asia, and South Asia.

## History

The journal’s history goes back to a magazine called ***Russian Language*** (Chinese: 俄语学习; Russian: Русский язык), first published in 1959 by Beijing Foreign Studies University. That magazine focused on teaching and promoting the Russian language in China.

During the Cultural Revolution, _Russian Language_ stopped publishing. It restarted in 1985, after China’s reform and opening-up policy, and changed from a monthly to a bimonthly publication. In October 2019, it was renamed _Eurasian Humanities Studies_, marking its change from a language-teaching magazine to an academic journal.
