metadata.value: The discussion was devoted to the consideration of the paper, written by D.V. Sen’, about the
  current situation in frontier researches in Russia, which was published in the current issue of the journal.
  The participants of the discussion were scholars from Russia, the United States and Ukraine, who are
  studing the history of border territories and border communities. They focused on several key problems
  related to the main topic of discussion. These are the questions: 1. Is the frontier concept convincing
  today? What are its strong and weak aspects? 2. Is the concept of a frontier effective for studying all
  countries, or only some? To study the history of which countries it is useful and in which it does not
  work? Why do you have such a point of view? 3. Why are continued new attempts to find alternative
  theories of the frontier theory? 4. What perspectives have comparative studies of the frontier, which
  compare the history of the frontier of different countries? 5. Is it possible to apply the concept of frontier
  to the history of Russia? To study the history of which Russian regions is it effective? What “Russian
  frontier” looks as a myth? Some participants consider the frontier model “politically insecure”. Other
  participants considered this idea to be irrelevant. However, there is no reason to consider be untenable
  the concept of a frontier unproductive on the fields that have analogies between the American frontier
  and other frontiers. Various points of view were considered about the validity of the frontier theory in
  relation to different cases, examples of explaining these events in the context of the history of different
  states, territories, cultures using the concept of a frontier. The question was discussed whether the theory
  of the frontier can provide at the beginning of the XXI century fundamental influence on the study of
  the history of Russian regions. The question was asked: why in various national historiographies the
  debate about the search for analogies or even about the revision of the theory of the frontier does not
  stop? The participants in the discussion generally agreed with the opinion that the concept of the frontier
  can be recognized as a convincing explanatory model when referring specifically to the Russian historical experience of the development of new territories in the 16th-19th centuries. The participants of the
  discussion identified the problems and prospects for the further use of the concept of the frontier, not
  insisting on its “classical definition” and recognizing the absence of a single (internally homogeneous
  and consistent) concept of the frontier. An opinion was also expressed about the need to identify the
  main cases of the transformation of the frontier territory into the traditional territory of the country.
