The conference Circassians in the 21st century: Identity and Survival – in the homeland and diaspora was hosted by Russia and the Caucasus Regional Research (RUCARR) and the Section for Caucasus Studies, Malmö University, November 23-24 2017. Thank you to all presenters and other participants! Special thanks to my co-organizer Dr. Lars Funch Hansen – without all his efforts the conference would not have taken place.
