During the first meeting of the group the major objectives for the future research were formulated.

The first meeting of the Research and Study Group place on February 6. The seminar started with an introductory part: each of the members presented his own academic interests to their colleagues and chose the language with which he intended to work. Then the particular tasks and charges were distributed among the members, and the principal research areas, on which the group will concentrate within the study of Dostoevsky's contemporary translations, were established.
