A contract was signed with the famous German scientific publishing house "De Greuther" for the publication of a 30-volume series "Europe and Circassia: 1760-1870".

The series, which will be released within 10-12 years, will include previously unpublished materials from manuscripts found in the archives of Great Britain, the USA, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Iran, Austria, Italy.
