After his prolonged periods of Government service in Russia during the First World War, Pares returned to academic life in the interwar period. He became a central figure at the School of Slavonic Studies, which had been set up at Kings College, London University in 1915. From 1919 to 1936 Pares was Professor of Russian History, Language and Literature and from 1922 until 1939 he was the School's Director. In 1922 along with another of the School's professors R W Seton-Watson Pares set up the "Slavonic Review" [later the "Slavonic and East European Review"]. It was during his directorship that the School became an independent body within London University as the School of Slavonic and East European Studies in 1933.
