Indeed, the wars in the former Yugoslavia began just as the Russian Federation was establishing strong ties with the West. When Yugoslavia imploded, the Russian Federation, despite facing a severe economic crisis, hoped to be a key player in European affairs and a vital mediator in this crisis. However, Russia very quickly proved to be a marginal player in the management of the Yugoslav crisis. We shall put forward several hypotheses to explain this: the structural weakening of Russia, but also that of the line proposed by Paris and London, as well as the unreliability of the Serbs. We will focus in particular on how Russian decision-makers perceived this crisis, seeing it as revealing the weakening of Russia\u2019s position in Europe. This paper is based on Russian, French, German, British and American archival documents, as well as on a corpus of memoirs of Russian diplomats.<br><br><em>Online-Lecture by Sophie Momzikoff (Sorbonne University, Paris)<\/em><br><br>The Web Lecture Series \u201cTransregional Histories of the Yugoslav Wars\u201d is part of the research project \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifz-muenchen.de\/aktuelles\/themen\/reordering-yugoslavia-rethinking-europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Reordering Yugoslavia, Rethinking Europe<\/u><\/a>\u201d, which is organized by the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) together with the Humboldt University of Berlin and the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies.<br><br><strong>LOCATION<\/strong><br>You are invited to join the lecture and discussion via <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/j\/97110997169?pwd=vmFnflACKbcLe1tYjtoQWfdY8iyD9J.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a>.<br>Meeting-ID: 971 1099 7169<br>Kenncode: 850967<br><br><strong>REGISTRATION<\/strong><br>No pre-registration is required for participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Izvori i dodatne obavijesti:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifz-muenchen.de\/veranstaltungen\/veranstaltungen\/termin\/the-yugoslav-crisis-and-the-russian-place-in-the-new-european-architecture\">https:\/\/www.ifz-muenchen.de\/veranstaltungen\/veranstaltungen\/termin\/the-yugoslav-crisis-and-the-russian-place-in-the-new-european-architecture<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/historiografija.ba\/historija-u-javnosti\/dogadjaji\/jugoslavenska-kriza-i-mjesto-rusije-u-novoj-evropskoj-arhitekturi\">https:\/\/historiografija.ba\/historija-u-javnosti\/dogadjaji\/jugoslavenska-kriza-i-mjesto-rusije-u-novoj-evropskoj-arhitekturi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/photo_sophie_momzikoff.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52516,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52516","url_meta":{"origin":54337,"position":0},"title":"Marko Grde\u0161i\u0107, Mislav \u017ditko, \u201eSocialist Economics in Yugoslavia: A Critical History\u201c","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"17. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"This book presents a critical history of Yugoslav socialist economics, from its inception in the late 1940s to its dissolution in the late 1980s.
