Category: Modern Balkan history; Proceedings 

     The papers in the volume are arranged chronologically and thematically. Chronologically, the present materials begin with the first Russian-Turkish War of the 19th century — the one of 1806—1812, and end with the eve of the Balkan wars (1912, 1913), but most of them are devoted to problems of the third quarter of the 19th century. Thematically, the studies are united by the focus of the border factor in the inter-imperial policy on the Balkans in the Modern Age, but they are considering it from different points of view (and far not only through the prism of the political history) and also have different spatial coverage.
