Meroitic studies in Russia

The Meroitic Studies Group of the Institute of Oriental Studies in Russia was established on the initiative of Professor Isidor Savitch Katznelson at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the (then) Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1973. Since then, the group has held an annual conference in which it presents and discusses the papers and research of its members and others from inside and outside Russia. These and other researches are published in a bulletin bearing the name

"Marwa Problems of History and Cultural Connections"
