Cultural transfer as a field for the observation of historical cultural studies. The example of the Russian empire

The article focuses on the concept of cultural transfer not as a his- torical method per se, but as a field of historical observation. Referring to the examples of individuals, networks and urban milieus, the author discuss- es the possibilities to highlight the practices of transfer between the Russian Empire and Western Europe, but also within the Russian Empire. It is argued that studies on cultural transfer may firstly fill an important gap between micro- leveled and macro-leveled approaches. The observation of transfer processes is also a prerequisite for historical comparison. Thus, studying processes and practices of transfers leads to a broader understanding of how culture and society of the Russian Empire functioned
