Socialist regimes have built their ideology around the concep t of equality. Committed to a communist classless society\, those regimes devised and introduced policies based on the belief that the quest for eco nomic equality would gradually eliminate social divisions based on nationa lity\, religion\, and/or gender. In practice\, however\, socialist states closely engaged with their minorities and implemented a wide arsenal of po licies that were directed towards their minorities\, ranging from promotio n\, protection and accommodation to forced assimilation\, repression and e xclusion. This conference aims to critically examine the discrepancies bet ween the ideology\, theory\, and practice of minority policies in socialis t countries\, and discuss the everyday experiences of minority life under socialism through a comparative and transnational lens. Drawing on example s from different Soviet republics\, countries of the socialist bloc\, as w ell as non-aligned socialist states\, such as Yugoslavia and Albania\, thi s conference aims to draw scholarly attention to how various socialist reg imes came to shape the status\, rights\, and experiences of different\, an d often marginalized\, ethnolinguistic\, religious\, sexual\, and social g roups.
