Introduction
The New Zealand Slavonic Journal (ISSN 0028-8683) is a refereed annual which publishes original contributions relating to all aspects of Slavonic studies, including, but not limited to, literature, linguistics, folklore, history, and political science. We also welcome articles on comparative topics and especially contributions dealing with Russian-New Zealand and Russian-Australasian affinities and links.
The NZSJ is edited by the staff of the Russian Programme at the University of Canterbury and has an international advisory board. Between 1982 and 2003 it was edited by Irene Zohrab and between 1974 and 1982 it was edited by Patrick Waddington.
History
The New Zealand Slavonic Journal was launched in 1967 by the Russian Section at Victoria University of Wellington as a biannual publication. It became an annual publication in 1982 published by the Department of Russian in conjunction with the Victoria University Press and printed by its printing department. Since 2004 the NZSJ has been published by the Russian Programme of the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics at the University of Canterbury.
