The Primakov Readings Youth Session is organised by the Primakov Center and Young Scholars Council of IMEMO under the aegis of the forum. The idea to create the Primakov Readings Youth Session emerged in 2017. The purpose of the event is to disseminate the intellectual heritage of the outstanding researcher and statesman Yevgeny Primakov and support young scholars of international relations. Every year the geography of the project expands and the number of participants increases, but the relevance and topical character of the questions raised by young scholars in their papers and reports remains unchanged.
