Конференция в Тарту. 2013
Конференция в Тарту
В Тарту прошла международная конференция. Обычно Тарту ассоциируется с Тартусским университетом и Тартусской мирной конференцией 1920 года, которая принесла мир народам Эстонии и Финляндии и положила начало процессу признания независимости Латвии, Литвы и Эстонии.
На этот раз отличился Балтийский колледж обороны, в котором 3-4 октября прошла уже ставшая традиционной 5-я ежегодная конференция по балтийской военной истории. Докладчиками стали предтавители многих стран. Как всегда возниками интересные дискуссии и обсуждение докладов.
Конференция в первый день проходила в двух секциях, затем 4 октября все собрались в одном зале. Вечером 3 октября прошла встреча в кафе «Атлантик», где можно было в неформальной обстановке побеседовать с участниками конференции и преподавателями колледжа. В целом доклады на конференции касались всего спектра периодики богатой балтийской истории от Ливонских войн до Первой и Второй мировых войн.
