THE FUTURE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES RELIANCE ON THE PAST: A VIEW FROM VLADIVOSTOK
The article is devoted to the current problems of Russian Oriental studies and continues the discussion started in the first issue of the Vostok magazine (2015). Starting from the past, the author analyzes issues related to university education in Vladivostok and suggests ways to develop Oriental studies.

A. O. Zakharov quite rightly raises questions about the lack of funding for Oriental studies. But is it just him? I would like to express a subjective view of the current state of Far Eastern Oriental studies, starting from the problems of Oriental studies education. The creation of the Eastern Institute in Vladivostok in 1899, which became the first university in a huge region, was due to an economi ... Read more
