The Slavic Review is a leading international peer-reviewed journal in Slavic studies with the coverage centered on Russia, Central Eurasia and Eastern and Central Europe.

The journal has been published under the current name since 1961 quarterly by the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies, continuing the series published by the same Association since 1941 under different names: Slavonic Year-Book. American Series (1941), Slavonic and East European Review. American Series (1943-1944), American Slavic and East European Review (1945-1961). Under the current name, the subtitle of the journal has changed over the years to reflect changing terminologies about the region, evolving boundaries and relations, and developing conceptions of the field. Since 2006, the subtitle has been Interdisciplinary Quarterly of Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies.

Since 1996, the office of the journal has been at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. From 1996 to 2006, the editor was Diane P. Koenker, a professor of history. The current editor is Mark D. Steinberg, also a professor of history at UIUC.

All back issues of the journal, apart from the most recent year, are available electronically through JSTOR. Beginning in 2007, electronic versions of current and recent issues are available to members on the website of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~aaass/.

The journal publishes original scholarship, book and film reviews, and review essays on scholarly topics. Articles are peer-reviewed and editorial policy is guided by the AAASS and an international editorial board.
