dc.description.abstract

value:
The author points out the three stages of Dhāraṇī Studies since the beginning of 19th c. up to
the present day. Thus, the first stage (the beginning of 19th c. — the first third of the 20th c.)
is characterized by the fact that the study of dhāraṇīs’ texts occurs within the framework of
Buddhist written sources publication in general. The article emphasizes the significant contribution
of Acad. V. P. Vasiliev in Dhāraṇī Studies: ideas on the study of Buddhist sacral invocations
formulated by Vasiliev, defined the main vectors of Dhāraṇī Studies. The second stage of
these Studies (the first third — the end of 20th c.) is marked by a specification — the emphasis
of researchers’ attention directly on Buddhist written sources containing dhāraṇīs. Analyzing
the second period’s researchings devoted to Dhāraṇī Studies, the author singled out four main
streams: ‘Historical’ (the dhāraṇīs’ functioning in a certain historical period); ‘Cultic’ (praxeological
aspect of Buddhist dhāraṇīs); ‘Iconographic’ (studies of artifacts connecting with
dhāraṇī tradition); ‘Conceptual’ (analysis of terminology and concepts associated with the
practice of reciting dhāraṇī). The article points out the prospects of using the interdisciplinary
method, which allows to use the results of not only adjacent oriental disciplines (Indology —
Jan Gonda, Tatiana Elizarenkova), but also to involve methods used in Slavic/Indo-European
spells Studies (Vladimir Toporov, Svetlana Tolstaia, Aleksey Iudin).

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article we analyze the main peculiarities of mechanisms of plot development in the
novel “My Brother’s Story” («Kardeşimin hikâyes"i») by Ömer Zülfü Livaneli (translation by
A. Avrutina). The novel consists from two parts: “I” and “Mehmed”. The author exploits the
structure of the novel-frame, where the role of "frame" is acted by a detective story. The main
content of the work is the study of the spiritual world of modern man, the fate of the hermit
hero Ahmed / Mehmed Arslan. After going through a series of life and moral trials, the hero
realizes his insignificance and commits suicide. In the system of characters the images of the
engineer and the journalist play a huge role, as researchers of the nature of the human soul.
The chronotope of the work includes the whole world, Turkey and Russia. The antithesis of
"the city/the capital vs province" becomes a key one. The image of Russia puts together of
a whole chain of literary reminiscences and associations that emphasize the richness of its
cultural potential. The postmodern style of the work reveals itself both at the level of content
and structure of the work. Leading in the work are such features of poetry, like intertextuality,
the mixing of time and space, abandoning the traditional "me" orientation to a multiplicity
of interpretations of the text, the fundamental systematic character, the incompleteness, the
openness of the design, the fragmentary nature of the game.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Сertain Buddhist schools (Chan, Linji) took a sceptical attitude towards verbal transmission of
awakening experience. But nevertheless language here wasn't marginalized — its potentional,
its limits of expression were explored and skilfully used. In this article attention is drawn
to gong-an — formally-derived-of-common-sense texts structured as questions/answers of a
teacher and disciples — along with the strategy of this specific communication, its functioning
in traditional and modern literature. The research aims at pointing out a visible connection
between gong-an texts and Yu Jian's poem-play «Grammar discussion on “The Other Shore”»
(1998) in terms of speaking about the other shore — the state of non-duality/awakening.
Despite the fact that Yu Jian is a vivid figure of China's avant-garde poetic world, none of
the Chinese, European or American researchers has yet touched upon the analysis of this
poem-play, which seems important in terms of comprehending dynamic permeation of the
tradition of gong-an texts into the composition of the poetic and dramatic work of Yu, where
he touches on the question of describing the transcendental. Further analysis and comparison
of gong-ans and Yu Jian's text makes it clear that the latter stylistically originates from a
detailed description of different solutions to the gong-an about the other shore. As a result, Yu
Jian's search for an articulation of the concept “the other shore” becomes rooted in Buddhist
philosophy. This in its turn shows vitality of this tradition in the modern literary text.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article seeks to extend the limits of applicability of permanent campaigning as a concept
helpful in understanding politics in the field of foreign policy analysis. It should start with exploring
how applicable the saying “it took Nixon to go to China” is not only to foreign policy
analysis, but also to the studies of public and even business administration. In early 1970s Nixon’s
reputation of a tough anti-Communist helped him win domestic support to his policy towards
Communist China. In a similar manner, in 2017 Trump sought a reputation of a fierce critic of
North Korea, by means of publicly threatening the latter with ‘fire and fury’, in order to not only
convince North Korea’s Kim to make concessions, but also to gain domestic support to possible
change in U.S.-North Korean relations. The Trump-Korea situation differed significantly from
the Nixon-China situation, which limited Trump’s ability to win domestic support to possible
rapprochement with North Korea by means of permanent campaigning. However, the article argues
that the very attempt deserves further exploration of the opportunities and challenges that
permanent complaining poses to the practice of foreign policy, and to foreign policy analysis.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to set up the SCO University at 2007 SCO Summit
in Bishkek. In the past ten years, the SCO University has achieved great success in China, while
there also remains many problems. “Regional Studies” is one of the earliest priority directions
for talent training in the SCO University, where there are many urgently needed professionals
in the implementation of the “Belt and Road” initiative. Taking the direction of “Regional
Studies” as an example, this paper demonstrates the current situation of the “Regional Studies”
development in China under the background of the “Belt and Road”, points out the problems
of the development of “Regional Studies” as well as SCO University in China, and to offer
some suggestions for future development strategies. There are several major problems in the
current development of Regional Studies in China: insufficient publicity, unbalanced involvement
of partner institutions, single form of personnel exchange, uncoordinated connection
with foreign partner institutions, inadequate teaching resources and inefficient system. The
future development of Regional Studies in the SCO University in China can be promoted in
the following aspects: strengthening publicity to enhance the popularity of the SCO University
in China; pushing forward the construction of teaching staff to improve the teaching system;
strengthening the construction of personnel exchange platform to increase the level of Regional
Studies talent training; exploring interuniversity and interdisciplinary talent training
models to create more channels for talents training, and building a multi-disciplinary platform
to expand the cooperation of Regional Studies.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article examines the phenomenon of jihadist groups operating in the Afghanistan-Pakistan
borderlands and argues that the political chaos that reigns in Kabul is contributing to
the growth of jihadism in Afghanistan. The administration of Kabul is losing its grip on the
security situation and Afghanistan is once again on the brink of an abyss. The future of various
jihadist groups, be they the Taliban, ISIS, Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan operating on Afghan
soil or other smaller groups, appears promising. On the other hand, the prognosis for
the Afghanistan-Pakistan borderlands and the civilian populations living in the rugged and
restless region appears bleak. The vicious cycle of violence continues and the entrenched
jihadist groups revel in the chaos caused by the failure of central governments on both sides
of the border to establish the rule of law and provide services for the local populations. It appears
that the borderlands that have always been beyond the control of central governments
will continue to be ungoverned spaces for a long time to come.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with 5 Sumerian cuneiform texts from the city of Lagash, compiled during
the era of the kings of Lugalanda and Urukagina (second half of the 24th century BC). The texts
contain a list of rations intended for a group of persons, which is written with the cuneiform
signs LU2.SU.A. The electronic dictionary of the Sumerian language brought these texts to
the article su-a “wild cat”. Previously, the researchers believed that this group of people is
among the acquaintances of the royal family. It was established on the basis of genealogical
explorations that among the LU2.
SU.A there were close relatives of the king’s and queen’s
family. The hypothesis of reading the combination of signs as “people of the flesh” is suggested.
It means that this group of people included only those who belonged to the governor’s clan.
They figured first in the lists of rations. The author of the article notes that such a group of
people appeared only under Lugalanda, which is connected with the subordination of the
Bau temple to the royal family. It still existed in the initial era of Urukagina's rule, but later
disappeared as a result of his reforms.

value:
The legislation of the Qing Empire, designed to govern Mongolia, contained a number of
tax laws. Among those, of special importance were the regulations, which princes-rulers of
banners (khoshuns) were obliged to be guided by when imposing taxes and duties upon the
subordinated population. With the help of these regulations, the Imperial authorities sought
to determine what proportion of the total fiscal revenues collected from the inhabitants of the
Mongolian steppes could be used by native aristocrats as remuneration for the performance of
their administrative service duties, and which could not, because it was an Imperial domain.
The purpose of the current paper is to investigate the content and to monitor the practical application
of the mentioned legislative norms in Northern Mongolia in the 18th — first half of
the 19th centuries. It has been found that Mongolian and Chinese sources contain numerous
pieces of information about the constant tendency to neglect the norms of the Qing tax legislation,
which was typical for the North Mongolian princes and officials. The reasons for this may
be rooted in the transformation of the social and legal system that occurred in Mongolia in
the 18th — first half of the 19th centuries due to the influence of the Qing Empire. At the same
time, it is unlikely that the Supreme Qing authorities possessed many opportunities to obtain
objective information about the true scale of the fiscal arbitrariness by Mongolian princes and
to suppress their massive violations of tax legislation.

value:
This paper is an attempt of approaching the crisis in modern philology not in a judgmentbased
manner but in a way that a famous Russian scholar Vladimir Markovich did within
his university course “Theory of the Literary Process”; he regarded the crisis as a new level of
understanding the preceding experiences in philology. The problem of humanities in general
and of philology in particular has been in the spotlight for about a quarter of a century. It is
generally accepted that the crisis is extensive, methodologically, disciplinarily, institutionally
and even reputationally speaking. The possible reasons of the crisis were widely discussed and
these discussions resulted in multiple attempts to change the field of studies in humanities and
to abandon the preceding research tradition. For Russian scholars, this tradition was primarily
connected with the hermeneutic type of literary studies. According to the modern critical
thought, the research settings of this kind of philology do not correspond to the current
issues. It may seem that even the best examples of academic philology are merely historical
artefacts. However, the experience of hermeneutic literary studies could be useful for a critical
reflection of the grounds of modern humanities since this experience is analysed not from the
perspective of its relevance or as a science history, but as a cultural experience. Characteristic
of hermeneutic literary studies is seeing the process of research as a creative one. The result of
this process is not merely an analytic description but a text that should be created and evaluated
by means of the same aesthetic criteria as the subject of the study itself — i.e. fictional
text. Thus, philological works of this kind became popular not only among specialists, but
also with an amateur audience as well. It created a high reputation for philology as a special
area of knowledge. It is believed that the cultural experience of hermeneutic literary studies
demonstrates that it is possible to overcome the crisis not only by developing new research
frameworks, but also by looking for the language of research that could become the language
of modern culture.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the psychosocial risk factors and their perception in the professional activity
of nurses working in departments with a high degree of patients’ mortality. Based on the constructivist
methodology developed within the sociology of risk perception, the authors propose
the definition of occupational risk as a social construct, conditioned both by objective and by
subjective factors, which are the consequence of the professional activities, the organization of
work and the specifics of the health system. From the perspective of this definition, the psychosocial
health risk and its factors are considered. The conducted study is based on the research of
oncological dispensaries in the city of Saratov and in Engels, as well as oncological departments
of medical and preventive institutions in Saratov. To implement this intention, a sociological
survey method was used based on the questionnaire “Indicators of nursing staff health protection
in their professional activities” developed and methodology K. Maslach, S. Jackson “MBI
Emotional Burnout Questionnaire”. 362 respondents took part in the research. The results of
the study demonstrated that for the majority of nurses there is a low level of emotional burnout.
The nurses perceive increased psychophysiological fatigue, intense monotonous work, stress,
professional status, low wages, and lack of legal protection as the most significant factors of
psychosocial risk. They produce either their own practices to minimize risks, or use institutional
practices. The obtained results highlight the importance of preventive measures against
psychosocial risk factors in the professional activities of nursing staff.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The work is aimed at identifying the relationship between the theoretical and empirical interpretations
of generalized, general, interpersonal, encapsulated and reciprocal types of trust.
The research presents the empirical data of the analysis of the concept of generalized trust
based on the materials of the world value survey and the author’s research in Tyumen region.
The empirical data was connected with clarification of various interpretations of trust.
The differences in the approaches come out from the contradictions that impede empirically
unambiguous measurement, the accumulation of scientific knowledge, the distinction from
other similar concepts in the social sciences. The approach proposed by the authors can serve
as a starting point for the future research, helps to distinguish trust and reliability from other
closely related concepts and systematize different concepts of trust. The possibilities of the
analysis of “sufficient” trust and trust based on “common sense” are demonstrated. Generalized
trust, calculated in the willingness to trust strangers and to rely on the help of friends,
is a much more sustainable measure than just the answers to the “standard question of trust”.
The refined measurement of the generalized trust allows to increase the level of social security
and can be included in the social capital measures, but still can not be reflected in the
self-assessments of the status. The stability of feedbacks between generalized trust and social
status at the micro level shapes the character of society, making it generally more reliable. It
is possible to identify the strength of the “reverse interaction” on the basis of the test of the
relation between generalized trust and an amendment to the norms of reciprocity with age,
material and social status.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper is dedicated to the evolution of boshanlu censers (博山炉) within the context of
China’s fragrance culture development. Having initially appeared in the burials of the Western
Han dynasty nobility and surviving its heyday during the East Han, this kind of ritual vessel
was commonplace up until the end of the Northern and Southern dynasties era (V-VI centuries).
Over the course of almost 700 years, the boshanlu censer was commonly used not only
as burial inventory, but also in various cult practices, palace ceremonials and for domestic,
sanitary and medical purposes. Due to their external beauty and wide functionality, censers
served as an indicator of high social status for the aristocracy. Symbolically, these censers reflect
the Taoist ideas of the holy xian (仙) and the search for immortality. With the spread of
Buddhism in China, boshanlu censers depicting Buddhist symbols acquired great importance
in Buddhist ritual practices. Subsequently, boshanlu censers penetrated the Korean peninsula
and the Japanese archipelago, where at the beginning they were also used as a Buddhist
item. However, unlike in Korea, they never attained great popularity in Japan. Despite their
centuries-old existence in China as well as some use in Korea and Japan, boshanlu censers
are most commonly associated with the Chinese Han dynasty. Nonetheless, they are not only
masterpieces of decorative art and fragrance culture, but a certain cultural symbol, where the
ideology of the early stages of the Chinese civilization is reflected in a concentrated form.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The antiphospholipid activity of hemostasis (APLAH) favours pathological blood clot organisation,
endothelial dysfunction and bioenergetic hypoxia. The prevalence of epilepsies in
patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is 8,6 % for adults. Hypoxia coexisting with
antiphospholipid syndrome leads to the development of status epilepticus (SE) in 10–12 % of
cases. The temporal form of focal epilepsy is the most common form, and it is characterised
by significant polymorphism of clinical manifestations. Also, the variants of masked epilepsy
(ME) occur in the form of aura continua (AC) — the status or auras without alteration of
consciousness. 6 women aged between 40 and 68 years with prolonged somatosensorial aura
had functional hyposplenism and lactic acidosis of blood. 2 of them also had hyperproduction
of antiphospholipid antibodies. Based on the research results, it was found that Levetiracetam
(Keppra) is the preferable medication among antiepileptic drugs (AED) in cases of temporal
epilepsy (TE) resistant to therapy. At the same time, Sulodexide (Vessel Due F) proved to be an effective drug due to dominant microvasculature damage in patients with antiphospholipid
syndrome. It has an antiplatelet effect, normalises the state of the endothelial tissue, has a
profibrinolytic and antiatherogenic effect.

value:
The study applies both qualitative methods of analysis to evaluate U.S. government documents
and quantitative methods to analyse a considerable amount of data relative to social networks
and reveals three areas of U.S. public diplomacy in Afghanistan, notably informational projects
and the establishment of local social media, the development of civic society and the
americanization of universities. Several findings resulted from the study. Firstly, the United
States tries to make an impact on Afghan users in social networks and disseminates its positive
image; however, as soon as the government terminates its activity on social media or does not
produce some attractive news, the supporters of the Taliban disseminate a strong anti-American
stance among the users. Moreover, the majority of Afghan population does not use the
Internet, which reduces the ability for Washington to exert influence in remote provinces. The
second finding is that the democratization of Afghanistan’s political system and the support
of political parties, observers and the civil society are more successful. However, the security
problems and the sabotage on the part of the traditional Afghan society limit the opportunities
to build a new political landscape in terms of Washington’s view. Finally, the transformation
of universities and the americanization of curricula, structures, models of teaching, etc.,
are also restrained by the resistance on the part of the academic community of Afghanistan.

The current article is an up-to-date literature review of common brain lesions and their MRI
semiotics among patients with AIDS. We present classic MRI signs of AIDS-associated lesions
and the variability of presentation based on the method of magnetic resonance. We provide a detailed review of MRI imaging of lesions with mass-effect: toxoplasmosis, primary CNS
lymphoma and neurotuberculosis. In this review, we present wide variability of radiological
signs and typical patterns that are used for differential diagnosis between these conditions. In
this article, we also review HIV associated brain lesions without mass effect as PML and HIV
associated encephalopathy. We highlighted unique polymorphism of progressive multifocal
leukoencephalopathy as this pathology might have variable contrast enhancement and can be
present with or without the mass effect. We present data about the comparison of MRI and CT
imaging in diagnosing of HIV-associated brain lesion. Assuming differences in MRI protocols
in different hospitals here we describe minimal brain MRI protocol that allows obtaining optima
radiological studies.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article offers a nuanced analysis of several milestones in the evolution of Japan’s foreign
policy in post-Soviet Central Asia, focusing in particular on Russia’s role and place in Tokyo’s
diplomatic strategy in the region. It aims to fill gaps in understanding what the driving forces
behind this foreign policy are and to reflect such nuances as the changes in Japan’s diplomatic
priorities in relation to Central Asia in Tokyo’s foreign policy community. The work introduces
a number of primary and secondary sources into the Russian-language academic literature
on the matter that were previously unused or used insufficiently, in the English and Japanese
languages. The article challenges the idea of reducing Japan’s foreign policy in Central Asia
to only passing the U.S. foreign policy interest and interpreting it as balancing Russia’s influence
on Central Asia within the ‘zero-sum-game’. According to the author, such balancing
corresponds to individual, if notable, episodes in Tokyo’s foreign policy in the region, which
are more accurately described in terms of neoclassical realism as overbalancing. A restrictive
interpretation of Tokyo’s Silk Road Diplomacy as balancing the influence of Russia and/
or China would also be static since it would not reflect the changes that this diplomacy went
through over the two decades of its existence — for example, a gradual change in the position
of Tokyo toward increased cooperation and decreased competition, as well as the reasons for
these changes. The article is dedicated to the analysis of various milestones in the development
of Tokyo’s foreign policy in Central Asia while considering the ‘Russian factor’.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents results of the study of students’ educational practices based on frame analysis.
The authors note that frame analysis is characterized by a variety of ways of its empirical
verification, and suggest their own version of how educational practices can be framed.
We suggest that ideas about individuals’ life strategies can be used as the basis for choosing
frames, since the attitude towards educational practices is largely determined by the expectations
and ideas about the future. This is related to the ‘intermediate’ status of students, who are
in the initial stage of their professional self-identification at the university. Such ideas may not
exist as clearly formulated attitudes, but act as a hidden mechanism of motivation and social
activity of a person (which is especially important for frame analysis). A system of indicators
for framing educational practices has been developed, including relationships with classmates,
communication with supervisors, the image of the university and the image of a future career.
The research has been carried out using the semi-structured interview method. Interviews
have been conducted with undergraduate students at the Faculty of Sociology at St. Petersburg
State University. As a result, four main frames has been identified, which can be considered as
a latent expression of a certain type of life strategy: ‘careerist-workaholic’ — the strategy for
successful employment and career growth; ‘researcher’ — the strategy for further intellectual/
academic activity; ‘curious erudite’ — the strategy for communication, gaining a wide range of
knowledge; ‘transit’ — the strategy for avoiding choosing a life strategy in the near future. The
most frequently occurring frames are the ‘researcher’ and the ‘careerist-workaholic’, which can
be explained by the specifics of the level of education of the respondents.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The theory of political leadership includes different approaches to the analysis of head of state
as an actor of foreign policy. Mostly, heads of state as political leaders are described as possessing
charismatic traits of character and capable of having a dramatic influence on internal and
external affairs of the country. However, a question can be raised whether the theory of political
leadership is applicable to the analysis of head of state activities in limited monarchies. In
parliamentary monarchies, head of state powers are de-jure brought to a minimum. The aim
of this research is to define the role of Queen Margrethe II as a head of state in a constitutional
monarchy in international processes during the turbulent times of the Soviet-Danish and Russian-
Danish relations. In accordance with the Constitutional Act of the Kingdom of Denmark,
Queen Margrethe II is the executive head of the nation, i. e. by signing all governmental acts,
she nominally determines the foreign policy of the Kingdom. However, in several specific situations,
connected, for instance, with dynastic issues or peace maintenance, the Queen is ready
to contravene the approved course of action. Shortly before the conclusion of the Helsinki
Accords in 1975, Queen Margrethe II made her state visit to the USSR which has had a great
impact on the bilateral relations. Not without interest is the Queen’s willpower to conduct
the ceremonies connected with the reburial of the remains of Empress Maria Feodorovna in
St. Petersburg. Finally, we have made two conclusions. Firstly, a head of state in parliamentary
monarchies, who mostly undertakes ceremonial duties, can influence contentious bilateral
relationships while being an “ambassador for peace”, strengthening friendly ties in all areas
of cooperation. Secondly, a head of state in limited monarchies is able to conduct his or her
own foreign policy course, which will contravene with the policies of the Government if issues
important for the monarch are concerned.

dc.description.abstract

value:
There is a connection between the formal theory and the history in which formalists were
submerged, the history which they represented and the history which they reflected in their
scholarly and literary works. This connection is not limited by the use of historical, biographical
or artistic material for the illustration of theoretical ideas. Formalists described literature
as the destruction of the habits of perception and interpretation formed by the everyday life.
In this sense the mechanisms of literature and history turned out to be isomorphous with each
other. The concept of defamiliarization formulated by V. Shklovsky becomes, then, not only a
universal mechanism of art, but also an immanent law of history. While formalists tended to
bare the device — the “literariness” of literature, the revolution was seen by them as “baring”
the historical device of history itself. A special issue of the journal LEF published in 1924 under
the title “Lenin’s Language” was dedicated to the study of the political language of the revolutionary
leader. Participants of this special issue included representatives of OPOIAZ and the
Moscow Linguistic Circle. Description of V. Lenin’s language as one which followed the laws
of poetic language that had been “discovered by Formalists” was an official opportunity for
them to extend their theory of literary evolution into the sphere of social history as a whole.
The very concept of the “device” that bares the “completeness” of a literary work found its application
in the critical analysis of ideology. In this manner, ideology is revealed as opposed to
history in precisely the same manner as automatized practical language is opposed to poetic
language. Lenin’s language is transformed into an agent of poetic, revolutionary disavowal of
ideology, the durability of which relies on the ideological automatization of false consciousness
and everyday habits of perception.

Chronic pain syndrome is the most common cause of disability in the working population.
Pathology of sacroiliac articulation is a source of pain in 10–30 % of patients in the lower back.
This publication describes the anatomy and physiology of the sacroiliac joint. The innervation
of this joint is described in detail. The causes and pathogenesis of dysfunction of the sacroiliac
joint are described. Also, the authors of the work thoroughly studied the clinical picture of
the lesion of this joint. The diagnosis of dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint is studied in detail,
where special attention is paid to diagnostic intraarticular blockades and provocative tests. The
article presents a wide range of provocation tests: compression, distraction, Patrick, Hansley,
Bonn, Jomana, Gate, and detailed the technique of their execution. Modern methods of treatment
are widely presented: conservative, interventional (intra-articular and extra-articular
injections of steroids) and minimally invasive. Special attention is paid to the high-frequency
denervation of the sacroiliac joint, which describes the technique of this procedure and the
criteria for selecting patients for its implementation. The algorithm of treatment of this pathology
and technique of invasive interventions is described in detail below. In conclusion,
the authors suggest the more frequent use of interventional and minimally invasive methods
of treatment in the pathology of the sacroiliac joint.

Analysis of trust influence on different dimensions of firms’ performance and interactions holds
a valuable place the management research. However, the comprehension of trust phenomenon is
far from preciseness and unambiguity: this concept has not yet clear and conventional definition.
In this article on the base of critical review of a number of trust concepts the interpretation of
trust as the mental representation of a counterparty’s non-opportunistic behavior expectation
is proposed. It is stressed that this mental representation appears unconsciously (reflexively)
but can be consciously corrected on the basis of new information. This representation existing
in the brain of individual can be called “personal trust concept”. Personal trust concept is a set (or network) of neuronal processes and states (neural correlate) that is appeared since socialization
period, and change during long-life of individual. Personal trust concept plays a role of the
basis for assessment of any person as trustworthy or not one. It is shown that trust understandings
mentioned above can be inferred from proposed one. Some consequences for applied management
research are discussed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Many researchers believe that knowledge is the most important resource in the contemporary
economy, but empirical studies show that knowledge management is not among the most used
managerial tools. This gap can be explained with the hypothesis that knowledge management produces the significant impact on the effectiveness of organization only with the accompanying
development of change management. Herewith the critical element of change management is a
change readiness that allows to assess the possibility and feasibility of changes, consolidate and
focus efforts, assess the adequacy of resources. This hypothesis is empirically tested using the
partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method on the data for 103 Russian
organizations. The results show that the empirical sample includes two statistically different
datasets. The separating variable is the type of owner, so separate models were built for stateowned
and private-owned organizations. For private-owned organizations, the hypothesis that
knowledge management and changes readiness jointly affect effectiveness is fully confirmed. For
state-owned organizations, knowledge management is not a factor of effectiveness. These results
have two practical implications. First, managers who rely on the organizational knowledge should
focus on the joint and coordinated implementation of knowledge management and change management.
Special attention should be paid to the organizational context that supports individual
change readiness. Second, state-owned organizations in Russia are less effective rather private
ones, it is due to the fact that knowledge management for them is not the factor of effectiveness,
that is in its turn a consequence of suppression of initiatives at the individual level.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Due to a constantly growing competition among organizations and higher customer expectations,
in the course of the last decades companies started to realize the need for supply
chain collaboration (SCC). However, setting up a coalition is often challenging for collaborative
parties. One major challenge for the implementation and success of a collaboration is
a fair allocation method, which is accepted by and satisfies all collaborative parties. Although
researchers already outlined the importance of the parties’ acceptance of the gain sharing
method, until now the actual acceptance levels of gain sharing methods have not been investigated.
This paper fills this gap by investigating the acceptance levels of selected gain
sharing methods in vertical three-echelon SCCs in the Dutch fast moving consumer goods
(FMCG) industry. In addition, the influence of behavioural decision-making aspects on the acceptance
of allocation methods is observed in order to explain the cause of the acceptance
or rejection of the gain sharing method. Results indicate that the acceptance of a gain sharing
method depends on the information availability and cognitive biases. Furthermore, due
to a different influence of available information and varying cognitive biases, no allocation
method is accepted by all collaborative parties. Practical implications include to provide each
party individually all relevant information to increase the parties’ acceptance and to apply
debiasing techniques to make the decisions more predictable.

value:
In this study we analyze topics and sentiments of online job reviews for 989 organizations operating
across 12 different knowledge-intensive industries in Russia. Using text mining techniques,
such as topic modeling and sentiment analysis, we identify factors of job satisfaction
and examine how they differ for former and current employees of Russian organization. The
analysis reveals that (1) working arrangements and schedule, (2) working conditions, (3) job
content, (4) salary/wage, (5) career development, (6) psychological climate and interpersonal
relations with co-workers are the six key topics discussed by employees online in relation to job
satisfaction, with the latter — psychological climate and interpersonal relations — being the
most widely discussed topic, especially for current employees. Overall, our study suggests that
in their decision to leave the company, employees are more likely to tolerate economic factors
of job satisfaction (such as salary, career development and working arrangements) rather than
socioemotional factors (such as poor relationships with their co-workers and content of work).

The paper investigates relationship between accounting and market indicators of Russian

book value and earnings in explaining market value varies across Russian firms with different
growth potential. Empirical study was carried out on the basis of 41 Russian traded companies
that provided financial reports in accordance with international financial reporting standards
(IFRS) for 2007–2013. These companies were divided into three groups using priceto-
earnings indicator: with high, medium and low growth potential. The linear regression
model based on the Ohlson’s theoretical model was tested both on the whole sample of
companies and on each subsample, the latter constituting a piece-wise linear function (growthbased
model, GBM). The results of the tests show that GBM shows better accuracy in predicting
companies’ market capitalization than basic linear model. This result contributes to
the stream of literature on non-linear equity valuation and provides insights for valuing Russian
companies.

dc.description.abstract

value:
We carried out a numerical analysis of Self-Potential (SP) signals produced in the course of
pumping test experiments. We studied SP responses on the basis of the GWFGEM code. In the
models, the pumping well partially penetrated the aquifer. We considered the short well filters
(1/5 of the aquifer thickness) and longer filters penetrated up to 4/5 of the aquifer thickness.
Numerical modelling results revealed an increased sensitivity of the SP signals to the length and
the depth of the pumping well filter compared to the drawdown. The pumping well casing and
screen material (electrically conducting, metallic vs. electrically insulated, PVC) determines
SP distributions on the ground surface. For the insulating casing, the sensitivity of SP signals
to the drawdown variation is small. In contrast, SP distribution on the ground surface for the
conducting case is closely related to the drawdown distribution and can serve as a proxy for the
drawdown. For a reference model of the water pumping well, the relationship between SP and
drawdown is linear. In the case of short screens, this relationship is logarithmic. Time variations
of SP show similar patterns for all studied models for both insulating and metallic casings; only
the magnitude of variations was found to be different. These results should be considered in the
modelling and interpretation of SP data obtained in pumping test experiments.

dc.description.abstract

value:
We investigated the cross-talk between auxin (IAA) and ethylene in the control
of root growth of Arabidopsis plants (Arabidopsis thaliana). The root growth of
ethylene insensitive etr1-1 and auxin insensitive tir1 mutants under the effect
of IAA and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP, inhibitor of ethylene perception) was
compared, respectively, with that of the wild type ecotype Columbia (Col-0).
Roots of Col-0 were shorter than those of the etr1-1 mutant. The addition of
IAA (5.7 × 10–6 М) to the growth medium led to 20 % root shortening in Col-
0 plants, but not in etr1-1 mutants. Thus, the capacity of plants for ethylene perception
contributes to the control of root length and its sensitivity to IAA. Roots
of etr1-1 were less heavy than in Col-0, indicating that ethylene maintains root
mass accumulation. Treatment with IAA caused a decrease in root mass of both
genotypes (resulting in a 25 and 10 % decline in the root mass of Col-0 and etr1-
1 as compared to the corresponding control), suggesting that IAA may influence
root biomass accumulation independently of ethylene. However, sensitivity to
ethylene increases plant responsiveness to IAA. Mutation in the auxin receptor
decreased the sensitivity of roots to inactivation of ethylene receptors: treatment
with 1-MCP resulted in a 40 % decline in the root mass of Col-0 and only
a 10 % decrease in tir1. The decrement in sensitivity to auxins in the tir1 mutant
decreased the responsiveness of root biomass to 1-MCP-treatment. These data
suggest an additive action of ethylene and auxins on accumulation of root biomass.

dc.description.abstract

value:
New geological results concerning the 2500 km length Southern Tian-Shan (STS) Late Paleozoic
collisional belt are revised. The STS basement consists mainly of Proterozoic continental
crust fragments. Precambrian terrains of the STS immediate environment (Ishim-Naryn
microcontinent with its Middle Tian-Shan outcrop, Central Tian-Shan, Karakum-Tajik,
Tarim) as well as presumed blocks inside the STS belt (Kyzylkum-Alay etc.) embrace the
ancient Precambrian crust of ca. 2700–1800 Ma and its parts that were reworked and converged
in the Late Proterozoic (900–600 Ma) active margin. The STS orogenic belt in the
Turkestan ocean had emerged not later than 750 Ma in the Kyzylkum segment; before the
Middle Ordovician in the central segment between Tarim and Central TS terrains; not later
than Late Ordovician in the eastern (Chinese) segment. Active margins or Paleozoic island
arc magmatism started in the Late Ordovician and developed in the Silurian — Early Devonian.
Passive margin sedimentation in Devonian to Early Carboniferous expands thanks to
intraplate basalt or bimodal volcanism. The general convergence with some back-arc rifting
and spreading resumed in Visean and completed with continental collision in the Late Carboniferous.
The great Bukantau — Kokshaal — Halyktau top-to-the-south thrust belt is the
most expressive result of the collision, despite the fact that some top-to-the-north thrusts,
both earlier and later, are also known. The Mississippian and Early Pennsylvanian magmatism
of the active Kazakhstan margin as well as HP-UHP metamorphism emerged in the
northern flank of the STS suture in the rear position to the main thrust belt direction. This
active margin is better-presented in the western STS segment and implies greater volume of
the ocean space consumed here. The Early Permian post-collisional magmatism of the STS
and its frame, 290–270 Ma at its peak, presents a variety of granitoids, alkali rocks and also
basalts with some ultrabasites. Among them are Rapakivi-type A-granite magmas that intruded
the marginal (lower) part of the Kokshaal-Halyktau thrust continuity and expanded
the Tarim margin in the unusual frontal position. This could be the result of Tarim mantle
plum impact. In the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, well manifested alpine-type structure of
STS, as much as poor persistence of ophiolites, absence of primitive arcs, keep the STS aside
of accretionary “Altaids” such as the Eastern Kazakhstan or Junggar margin of the same

dc.description.abstract

value:
Here two murine salivary gland cancer (SGC) cell lines WR21 and SCA-9 were
studied for the first time in detail by high-resolution molecular cytogenetic approaches.
This study revealed that these cell lines are models for human SGCs
of initial stage myoepithelioid or mucoepidermoid (WR21) and of advanced
stage mucoepidermoid (SCA-9) tumors. Besides, three genes most likely playing
a role in SGC development (FGF10, ELAVL1/HUR and SEL1) were identified.
All of them were involved in translocation events in these in vitro models and
thus were most likely activated. Overall, the present study highlights the necessity
not only to establish but also to genetically characterize murine tumor cell
lines. Without such a characterization they cannot be used in a reasonable way
in research.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Anuran amphibians represent the most usual subjects for experimental biological
research and a divergent group of extant vertebrates comprising species
adapted to a variety of environments from aquatic to arboreal. Thus, they become
excellent models in research of motor lateralization due to their different
phylogenetic position and their anatomical and ecological diversity throughout
their evolutionary history, as well as variety of locomotive habits and a diversity
of limb use during walking, swimming, feeding and other activities. From the
first works in mid-1990’s to the present day, a noticeable progress, a noticeable
progress in the study of motor lateralization in anurans is made favored by a
set of methodological approaches and their application to various species and
life stages. Together, these advances foretell a plethora of interesting developments
in the world of laterality research with the anuran amphibian model.
Here, the discovery of right-pawedness in toads through the development of a
set of different techniques to assess motor lateralization in anuran amphibians,
and, as a consequence — important results revealing behavioral and morphological
correlates are reviewed and discussed in evolutionary and eco-morphological

Upper crust structural and morphological ensembles of the Pamir-Tien Shan segment of Central Asia and their reflection in geophysical fields. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Earth Sciences, 2018, vol. 63, issue 4, pp. 478–501.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Structural-morphological ensembles of different ranks for Pamir — Tien Shan segment of
Central Asia and their possible correlation with the data of remote geophysical investigations
are considered in the paper. Results of such correlation analysis are discussed. A bright example
of the morphostructures of cross-regional scale on the territory of the Eurasian continent
are the mountain systems of the Pamirs and the Tien Shan, historically, structurally
and geologically two different provinces which differ in configuration, internal structure and
features of evolution and orogenesis. The paper presents the results of a comprehensive study
of the deep structure of the lithosphere of the southern Tien Shan and the Pamirs along the
TIPAGE profile. The analysis of the geophysical inhomogeneities distribution of the profile
section shows that the deep structure of the southern Tien Shan differs significantly from that
of the Pamirs. The orphostructures of the regional scale and their reflection in the detailed
magnetotelluric sounding data are considered on the basis of the results of geological and
geophysical study of the Tien Shan tectonic zones: Kochkor Basin and Naryn Basin-Baibichetoo-
Atbashi Basin. The study reveals a good correlation between the surface structure determined
by geomorphological and structural methods and the deep geoelectric section, built
on the high-resolution magnetotelluric sounding data. The paper also considers examples of
morphostructures of local-regional scale, meso- and micro-scales, identified by the authors of
the paper within the study of the structural features of tectonic blocks and rock mass of the
Northern Tien Shan. All examples of surface and deep structures correlation presented in the
paper demonstrate the paragenetic uniformity of different-scale tectonic structures revealed
by geological and geophysical methods within large and tectonically homogeneous segments
of the Tien Shan and Pamir crust.

The article is devoted to the main linguistic directions of media Internet space. The boundaries
of the object of study are defined, including hypermedia — which uses various means to
deliver content simultaneously (offline and online), and the TransMedia — new media (social
networks). The major features of Internet media text, primarily focused on by researchers are
described: hypertekstuality, multimedia, interactivity, synchronous/asynchronous communication,
polysubject. The development of the theoretical apparatus of media studies is shown,
the interdisciplinary nature of such disciplines as media linguistics, internet linguistics, mediology
is revealed. The integrative nature of media text research methods is noted. The aim
is to determine the current perspectives of research of media online text. The researches in
the sphere of convergent genres that have emerged at the сontact point of different genres and
channels of communication are considered to be the most relevant. Transmedia storytelling
is considered to become a perspective trend of media text development. The main advantage
of transmedia storytelling is the opportunity to create a polyphonic communication net, to engage the consumer in the active interaction, create a mixed reality, combining online and offline
communications. The author comes to the conclusion that methodological preconditions
for integrative interdisciplinary research of modern media that constitute a new communication
format based on collaboration (multi-subject characteristics, active participation of users
in content creation) and journalistic of data using all the features of multimedia are currently
established. The focus of modern research of the media Internet space is shifting from the
study of individual media genres and characteristics of texts related to Internet technologies to
the integrative study of the entire media Internet space on the basis of the General theory. The
modern study of media text is based on the analysis of all aspects of the multimedia interactive
process of media communication.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A Nedubrovo member was recently described by (Lozovsky et al., 2001) and is the subject
of continuing disputes due to the uncertainty of its age. Numerous determinations of fauna
and flora allow to suggest the age of the Nedubrovo deposits as Upper Permian (Arefiev et
al., 2016, Lozovsky et al., 2016) or Lower Triassic (Lozovsky et al., 2017). The uniqueness
of the Nedubrovo member is also determined by the absence of its stratigraphic analogues
within the Moscow sedimentary basin. Here we present the results of complex paleomagnetic
and rock magnetic studies of the oldest Nedubrovo horizons of the Lower Triassic of the
Moscow basin, which are outcropped in the lower stream of the Kichmenga River and lie on
the clays of the Vyatkian stage of the Upper Permian. We found the paleomagnetic direction
of the characteristic component of the magnetization of the studied red beds to be anomalous
(slat = 60.04521°, slong = 45.74047°, N = 142, D = 246.3°, I = –6.6°, K = 10.0, α95 = 3.9°)
and, with a high degree of probability, it corresponds to the period of significant and prolonged
deviation of the Earth’s magnetic field configuration from the Geocentric Axial Dipole
(GAD). The presence of anomalous paleomagnetic directions in Late Permian sedimentary
and volcanic sections within Eurasia can be used as a powerful tool for local and regional
magnetostratigraphic correlations, and it also indirectly suggests the Late Permian age of the
Nedubrovo sediments.

dc.description.abstract

value:
For the first time, the materials of oceanographic measurements in the Lofoten basin, made
by oceanographers from the Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and
Oceanography (PINRO, Murmansk, Russia) from the “Fridtjof Nansen” research ship in July
1998, 2000–2002 and 2005 during the investigations in the Norwegian and Greenland seas.
We compare these materials with thermohaline sections for the same periods deriving from
the MITgcm simulation. We found that the greatest horizontal contrasts of temperature and
salinity are characteristic of a region with dimensions of 180–200 miles horizontally and more
than 1000 m vertically, and the core of the Lofoten vortex is located in a layer at the depth
of 200-800 m and has a radius varying from 20 to 60 km. It is established that apart from
the quasi-permanent Lofoten vortex, many mesoscale vortices located at a depth between
50-500 m are observed in the basin, spatial scales and characteristic gradients of which can
be compared to the characteristics of the Lofoten vortex. The distribution of thermohaline
characteristic values according to the PINRO hydrological sections and the MITgcm model
generally correspond to each other, but in the most considered cases the model data are
slightly larger in zonal gradients of temperature and salinity. Based on a direct comparison of
model data and field measurements, it is shown that in the considered periods the MITgcm
data adequately reflect the hydrological parameters of the water area and can be used for
retrospective analysis of the vortex activity in the Lofoten basin.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The biostratigraphic study of the upper Carboniferous and lower Permian stratotype sections
in the Middle Tianshan of Kyrgyzstan enable us to identify foraminifera complexes
that characterize certain intervals of the section, defined as foraminifera zones. In stratigraphic
interval from the Kasimovian to Asselian stage, we distinguish seven foraminifera
zones as follows: 1. Triticites komansuensis — Triticites procerulus, 2. Schwageriniformis arpaensis
— T. turkestanensis, 3. Jigulites corpulentus — Daixina porrecta, 4. Daixina vasilkovskyi
— Quasifusulina kodzhagulica, 5. Daixina (B.) bosbytauensis — Pseudodaixinoides kacagaricus,
6. Occidentoschwagerina alpina, 7. Schwagerina moelleri — Grozdilovia (?) fecunda.
These zones were distinguished based on the study of 350 species of fusulinides, including
65 new endemic species (Djenchuraeva, Getman, 2007, 2010). Occurrence of endemic species
in the zonal complexes hampers the correlation of these zones with coeval strata in
other regions. However, it allows one to reconstruct sharp changes in the facial conditions
of Foraminifera’s existence which resulted from increasing isolation of the eastern part of
the Turkestan ocean. New endemic species are characterized by common features, such as
small initial chamber, close coiling of the helix in the internal rotations and strong folding of
septa in higher forms. Sedimentological observations help to restore depositional environment
of the basin in the eastern part of the Middle Tien Shan. Djenchuraeva A. V. and Gonchar
A. D. (2001) describe shallow litofacies and tempestites in the upper Carboniferous and
Lower Permian sediments of this region. The study of the full composition of foraminifera complexes allows to compare them with the zonal subdivisions of various regions of Central
Asia, Urals, Russian Platform and Donbas.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A wide mineral scattering halo of fine and thin high-standard gold with still unidentified commercial
placers and primary sources is typical for the East Siberian platform, particularly the
central part of the Viluy syneclise. It is related to the fact that the studied area overlaps with
a thick layer of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic deposits, where traditional methods of prospecting for
gold deposits do not yield positive results. It is well known that placer gold can retain “genetic
memory” of its primary endogenetic gold sources. In this connection, detailed mineralogical
studies of placer gold were performed with the aim to identify mineral types of gold mineralization
and to forecast and assess primary gold content. Mineralogical-geochemical features
of gold and mechanisms of its distribution from channel fill and the Quaternary deposits of
numerous water courses of the Lena-Viluy interfluve. Over 300 samples were analysed, and
the analysis takes morphologic features of gold, granulometric composition, fineness, composition
of trace elements, inner structure and presence of micromineral inclusions into account.
Permanent admixtures of Pt (6–96 g/t), Pd (5–570 g/t) and Ni (5–100 g/t), as well as micro-inclusions
of the exotic mineral phase of platinum group are identified in placer gold of the Suntar
arch in right-bank tributaries of the Viluy river (Kempenday, Chybyda, Tonguo, Kundayi
rivers etc.). Apart from that, micro-inclusions of hematite, ilmenite, rutile, sulfides (pyrite,
chalcopyrite, galena) and Fe—Mg-aluminisilicates, which correspond to ore mineralization
and are typical for magmatism of the basic composition, are found in gold. The combination
of identified mineralogical-geochemical features of gold indicates that the Precambrian hightemperature,
deep depth mineralization processes were primary sources of gold. This allowed
to forecast the presence of primary sources of gold-platinoid mineralization, probably related
to basites of the Early Proterozoic and later age, within the Suntar arch for the first time.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The reinterpretation of the Paleozoic Southern Tian-Shan (STS) orogen tectonics took place
from the 1950s to the 1980s and was connected with the research activity of G. S. Porshniakov
(1918–1993), professor of Leningrad University, as well as that of his colleagues and opponents.
The main factors of this reinterpretation were i) extensive field investigations, including
geological mapping and paleontological dating, and especially engaging young scientists to
the study; ii) development of scientific schools and free competition between them; iii) welltimed
change and evaluation of theoretic models while using global experience. G. S. Porshniakov
gave a talk to present his own new tectonic model for the STS where the space shortening
and top-to-the-south thrust movement were shown as the leading factor. In modern terms,
it means the collision of the ancient Kazakhstan, Tarim and Gissar continents. The model
emerged as a result of detailed paleontological dating, which showed different lithology of
coeval formations. The thrust model by Porshniakov was defended in a controversy with the
colleagues who insisted on the earlier “deep faults” ideas. It was then checked and verified
by geological mapping of the vast territory from the Kyzylkum in the west up to Chinese
Xinjiang. After some actualistic modernization, this conception agrees with new ideas in the
Paleozoic history of the STS, such as ocean and continental margins development, internal
arcs, intraplate (plum) magmatism and disposal of post-collisional granite intrusions.

title: The «Prague Empire» and the Lędzianie: Reflexions on the Emergence of the Slavic Identity in Eastern Europe

dc.contributor.author

value: Alimov, Denis E.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the emergence of the Slavic ethnic identity in the territory of Ancient Rus’.
While seeking for a (hypothetical) answer to this question, the author focuses on contacts that existed during
the 10th century between Kiev and the empire of the Přemyslids, in which the Slavic identity was inherited
from Great Moravia. According to the author, the Slavic identity could penetrate into Kiev (from which it later
came to Novgorod) from the Přemyslid realm via the well-known trade route that in the 10th century connected
centres of Western and Central Europe with Kiev, Volga Bulgaria, and Khazaria. In doing so, the author
attributes the leading role in the contacts of Kiev with Central Europe to the tribe of Lendians (Lendzaninoi /
Lędzianie) mentioned in the Byzantine emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus’s treatise «De administrando
imperio» (mid-10th century). In the author’s opinion, the Lendians were not only closely connected with the
realm the Přemyslids, but also controlled Plisněsk, an important political and trade center, through which
contacts between Slavic-speaking communities of Central Europe and the Middle Dnieper region were made.
According to the author, of all the Slavic-speaking communities that had close contacts with the Russes, the
Lendians were most capable for embracing the group name Slověnedue to the supralocal nature of their group identity and the possible influence of the Moravian (Olomouc) bishopric.While stressing that the emergence
in Kiev and Novgorod of new non-tribal group names, including that of Slověne, was conditioned by changes
in the social and cultural habitus of the Slavic-speaking population, which concentrated in the corresponding
loci, the author expresses the idea that it was the Lendians who were the key link in the spread from west to
east of the the Přemyslid realm’s («Prague empire»’s) «social knowledge», which contributed to the adoption
of the Slavic identity in Eastern Europe.

title: On the ethnographic understanding of materiality

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the ethnographic approaches to the study of material culture and the place
they have taken within the material turn that has occurred in the social sciences in recent decades. Despite
the fact that at the stage of its formation, ethnography was understood primarily as a study of the material
culture of different nations, however, the material nature of the thing turned out to be poorly problematized.
Until now, the conservative line dominates the ethnographic approach to material culture, within which the
focus is either «material» (material, manufacturing techniques, utilitarian functions) or «symbolic» (semantics,
ritual functions). The object-centric perspective proposed by sociologists, equalizing subject and object, the
human being and thing, is hardly fully in the interests of ethnography. For the latter, promising approaches
to material study are largely determined by the consideration of its physical features that appeal to human
feelings. It is in this «contact zone» of human interaction with a thing — the sphere of human feelings that a
thing acquires a human dimension, which, in fact, is the subject field of anthropology / ethnography.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper is about a little known epistle which is kept in the unique handwritten miscellanea of
the first part of 17th century. This epistle is addressed by unknown monk from Constantinople to orthodox
tsar’. It contains wordy praises on tsar’ and his favors to different countries. The author asks to send a sermon
about faith and two printed books into Rech’ Pospolitaya. The epistle should be brought to Moscow by
Danila Ivanovich Isleniev, a Russian ambassador in Constantinople. So the epistle was a covering letter for
unknown sermon.
Data comparison and studying of archive documents let us to suppose that the epistle was addressed to
Moscow tsar’ Fedor Ivanovich and was written in 1595–1596 before the Brest’s Union (1596). The author
of the epistle was an orthodox monk, native of Rech’ Pospolitaya who was going to live in one of the Athos’
hermitages later. Probably the epistle was written by Isaakiy Boriskovich, a follower of Meletios Pigas, the
Patriarch of Alexandria. Isaakiy Boriskovich departed from Constantinople before Brest’s Union. He visited
Athos but later his life was completely connected with struggle of Orthodox believers against the Union in
the Kyiv Metropolia. It is unknown what was the sermon about faith he asked to send to orthodox believers
in Kyiv Metropolia. We can suppose that it was one of numerous sermons and epistles of orthodox Greek
hierarchs (probably of Meletios Pigas).
The epistle addressed to tsar’ Fedor Ivanovich is published in addition to the research.
