Abstract
The term “war of conferences” was offered by Abraham Shmulevich to describe research events activity on theedge of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. Using this term as basic, we focused on the research events activity onthe Circassian problematics in Russia and Turkey in 2010-2014. The study includes 26 Russian and 37 Turkishactivities. We have analyzed their geographical and time-frequency localization, format, scope, participants andorganizers, informative content. Research results demonstrated fundamental differences, caused by the format,composition of participants and organizers, as well as historiographical traditions of Russia and Turkey. Takenas a whole it provoked polarity of opinions and views. Terminological and historiographical gap is grounded notonly on local traditions, but also on the tasks that the expert communities are facing.

Summary
The term “war of conferences” first appeared in the article “War of conferences around the Caucasus, and again the Jews are to blame ...” (Shmulevich, 2010) of a known politologist, rabbi, founder of Hyper-Zionism Ideology and the president of the “Institute of Eastern Partnership” (Israel) Abraham Shmulevich. In this way the author of scandalous feature articles on the Caucasus and Circassians described the research events activity on the edge of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. As noted by Tiago Ferreira Lopes, from this moment “The word Circassia is back to the minds and concerns of the Kremlin politicians, and for a moment was even able to shape Georgian domestic and regional policies” (Lopes, 2013)
