dc.description.abstract

value:
Nowadays the current system of the leadership thinking alters, or, in other words, the paradigm
of the leadership undergoes transformation. The paper describes the key managerial anomalies
existing in the new millennium that have caused the crisis in the management theory particularly
in the organizations’ management and in the leadership field. As a consequence contemporary
leadership models have emerged. The paper provides a theoretical overview of so-called positive
ethical leadership concepts (authentic, spiritual, servant leadership, etc.). It also presents the
new tendencies connected with a role and an essence of the contemporary leadership. The authors
believe that the crisis of the management model is rooted in the competitive value system. The
scholars conclude that the core of the new management paradigm is a “good” leadership model
primarily based on values. Although, an establishment of a new paradigm is usually a slow and
non-revolutionary process, the leadership theory is already in the process of new development.
The authors believe that it is time to develop leaders of a higher level.

The study analyzes main theoretical approaches and results of empirical research on international
M&A strategies of emerging market firms. Despite intense discussion of the necessity to
develop innovative approaches explaining phenomena of global expansion of emerging market
firms, there were a few attempts to develop new theories which did not yet get broad implication
in international and strategic management literature. Resource-based view, institutional
view and transaction cost theory still dominate the field. In this paper we indicate problematic
and understudied fields in international M&A strategies research.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The successful activities of any commercial organization, in particular the bank, are based on
a clear corporate financial architecture: an effective financial strategy and corporate governance
system (relationship management, board of directors and shareholders). CEO is the main
representative of the bank and a reflection of its success or failure in the market. In this regard
there is a question: what influences CEO turnover? Is it related only to the bank’s financial
performance or it includes the system of corporate governance developed in the credit institution?
In few studies on this topic, one of the main instruments of corporate governance and its
effectiveness is just the possibility of changing the CEO because of weak results of the organization.
If an inefficient manager is removed from the management of the bank, then corporate
governance may claim to be effective. In this paper, the study of these issues was carried out
on the sample of 336 Russian banks in the period of active revocation of licenses (2014–2016)
and cleaning the banking sector from unscrupulous participants. It was shown that the high
operational efficiency of the bank and the high share of the CEO in the equity capital reduce
the probability of CEO turnover.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Over the last few decades investments in research and development (R&D) projects have
risen significantly. Many experts have found a positive relationship between R&D expenses
and a company’s value. However, investments in innovations are characterized by a high level
of uncertainty. Often innovations generate income only in long run. These factors increase the
probability of firms’ financial distress considerably. Thus, the aim of the present paper is to
evaluate financial distress costs at companies that invest in research and development projects.
The study covers 389 innovative firms over the period from 2006 to 2015. The analysis is
based on a direct and indirect costs evaluation. The first are estimated through panel logistic
regression. Indirect costs are calculated as unexpected losses or profits relative to industry
indicators. The paper confirms the existence of relation between R&D expenses and financial
instability. The results of the research show that the total financial distress costs of innovative
companies amount to 7.95% of total assets or 11.78% of the value of a company on average.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Turning socialism into a system on a global scale was the Soviet Union’s highest point for
policy of a revolutionary renewal of the world. By the mid 1950s the ever mounting difficulties
compelled the Soviet leadership to make a turn toward normalcy; i.e. to acquiesce to
a partial scrapping of some of their revolutionary doctrines and moving on to a policy of
peaceful co-existence with capitalism. Yet, the spiraling of the world-wide socialist system
into crisis was picking up. There occurred some loosening of the hegemony of the Soviet
Communist Party accompanied by a drastic politico-ideological polarization within the
world communist movement. In fact, the course on advancing the world revolutionary process
and simultaneously the policy of peaceful co-existence were clashing with each other
constantly. By the mid 1980s the race against capitalism had been lost, whereas the effects
of western soft power had been steadily growing. Perestroika and glasnost helped free the
minds of the masses but did not resolve the crisis of the Soviet system. This opened the way
to a series of bourgeois revolutions and the disintegration of the USSR and of the world
socialist system.

linguistic communities that arise and function on the basis of a common language and a language
paradigm (basic ideology). The processes of globalization and regionalization in the

The article gives a detailed description of the main areas of Soviet national policy: the creation
of a national-territorial federation, the practice of “personnel rooting”, the cultural and
linguistic revolution, and others. As a result, the conclusion is drawn that the Soviet national
policy had two kinds of consequences. On the one hand, by promoting the development of ethno-nations in the union and autonomous republics it created institutional and psychological
prerequisites for eroding the legitimacy and later collapse of the Soviet system. On the
other hand, its focus on eroding Russian identity and substituting it with Soviet identity gave
the former imperial features. The author especially notes a close connection and continuity of
the conceptual foundations and practices of Russian ethnopolitics with the theoretical dogmas
and practice of the Soviet “national policy”. However, if the Communist Party consciously
built the national states within the USSR, trying to accelerate the course of history, in modern
Russia this process continues as if by inertia, despite the proclamation of a strategic goal being
the formation of a Russian political nation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to an analysis of the key moments of development of the revolutionary
process in Russia in 1917 the final result of which was the armed seizure of power by the Bolshevik
Party. The purposeful implementation of this strategy in the context of a world war and
the revolutionary situation that arose in February 1917 virtually excluded the possibility of
a peaceful resolution of the political conflict and made civil war in Russia inevitable. The collapse
of the Russian monarchy was the result of an interweaving host of objective and purely
subjective circumstances, among which radical Bolshevik politics played a decisive role. It was
the situation of the civil war that largely predetermined the nature of Russia’s modernization
in the twentieth century. Her dramatic experience clearly shows that it is much easier to decree
democratic institutions than to develop the political conditions and practices necessary to create
a stable system of democratic governance.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article refers to the “Thermidor law”, characteristic of all great revolutions. The author
states that after a period of radical destruction of the old foundations, a period of full or partial
restoration of the previously destroyed orders, institutions and relations begins. This trend is
called, by analogy with the events of the Great French Revolution, “the law of the Thermidor”.
The article notes that after the October Revolution in Russia, Lenin and other leaders of the
Bolsheviks constantly feared the offensive of the “Thermidor”, which they understood as the
victory of the counter-revolution. To avoid this, the Bolsheviks strived to maximally radicalize
their transformations, and after the failure of the policy of “war communism” they tried
to implement “self-thermidorization” in the form of a New Economic Policy. However, the
Bolsheviks failed to avoid a return wave. According to L. Trotsky, one of the leaders of the
October Revolution, the “thermidor” was the establishment of the Stalinist regime. Trotsky saw signs of the Thermidor in the revival of a number of social principles destroyed during the
revolutionary years. It is noted in the article that, with reference to the Stalin period, one can
speak of an “imaginary thermidor”, since Stalin did not refuse the main goals of the October
Revolution, but the emergence of the Stalinist regime, from the original revolutionary practice
of the Bolsheviks, was the result of the action of the “Thermidor law”. The article states that the
effect of the same law was manifested in the period of political and economic changes in the
USSR and Russia in the late 20th and early 21st century.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The welfare state is a deliberately designed political and legal social institution that allows
a more equal distribution of material wealth, thereby contributing to the preservation of social
stability in the society. Despite the fact that the very idea of a welfare state started to be implemented
in Europe already in the second half of the 19th century, it was the 1917 revolution in Russia that dramatically intensified this process, ultimately leading to the emergence of a welfare
state in the form in which it existed in 1960s and 70s, a period considered to be its “golden
age”. If before that the idea of social guarantees for workers was one of the main slogans of the
European Social Democracy, which viewed the welfare state as an intermediate stage in the
emergence of a socialist society, after the revolution other political forces came to realize the
need for large-scale social reforms. It was necessary to take into account, in particular, the
extensive use of the example of the Soviet Union in communist propaganda. Despite the problems
of the functioning of the Soviet welfare state, the very fact of its existence in the context
of the global confrontation between two ideological and political systems made political elites
constantly keep in mind the question of the volume and quality of social services, raising the
overall level of material well-being of the citizens. Therefore, it can hardly be considered incidental
that the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union practically coincided
with the full-scale crisis of the Western welfare state.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper discusses a psycholinguistic approach to the empirical data obtained from the
Stroop test and its modifications. In the classical Stroop test participants are required to name
as quickly as possible the color in which a word is written, while ignoring the word meaning
itself. Under certain conditions, the ignored information interferes with the naming of the
color, resulting in slowed, error-prone responding. In psycholinguistics Stroop interference
is considered as an inevitable consequence of speech production. Its explanation is given in
several theories of lexical access, which are reviewed in the paper. Two groups of theories
of lexical access are analyzed in the article: the theories of relative activation (the model of
W. La Heij and colleagues, the model of A. Roelofs, and the conception of R. Abdel Rahman and A. Melinger) and the theories of absolute activation (Response Exclusion Account and
the model of K. Mulatti and colleagues). It is postulated in the theories of the first group that
Stroop interference occurs during the stage of response selection. According to the theories
of the second group, Stroop interference occurs at the late stages of stimuli processing due to
inappropriate response blocking. In conclusion, the author states that theories of lexical access
fail to explain revealed interference phenomena. The ways of further development of the
psycholinguistic theories to Stroop interference are discussed.

title: Time of meaning: Narrative modus of time perspective

dc.contributor.author

value: Zaitseva, Yulia E.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Does “It’s getting worse” mean the same as “everything has gone wrong”? I am afraid, It seems
so. The cognitive heuristics of ‘Remembering Self ’ (D. Kahneman) make us suffer from such
illusion: over-dramatizing the “peak-end” effect and underestimating the time duration factor
in experiencing pain or pleasure. The same heuristics work in reasoning when judging
the subjective quality of ones’ personal lifespan. In our empirical research of time perspective
in autobiographic self-narratives, we show that even subtle, negatively-changing dynamics
in ones’ personal past-present-future satisfaction level (Likert scale, semantic differential,
19 constructs from Nuttin’s Time Attitudes Scale) is reflected immediately in narrative structure.
We have detected: (i) long pauses, frustration markers and blocking in narration about
the future; (ii) discounting past experience; (iii) pessimistic scenarios of life course or overidealized
future ones (irrelevant to “course-effect” or “goal-directed” links between life events
and identity); and (iv) the lack of a thematic type of global narrative coherence of past-present-
future stories. Participants included 112 graduated bachelor’s and master’s students from
Saint-Petersburg State University, namely emerging adults (18–27 years old). They were asked
to present (in written and oral form) one coherent narrative, including three autobiographic
stories to illustrate the relationship between one chosen identity (from their 20 statement test)
and one past, one actual and one hypothetical future life event. Analysis involving an independent
sample of 42 students confirmed the findings mentioned. Self-narration as a powerful
cultural instrument of identity-construction is well known and has been vastly discussed last
decades. The vulnerability of emerging identity to narrative patterns and the crucial role of
temporality in narrative structure makes the dynamics of time perspective evaluation an important
target of therapy even when small in amplitude but progressive. Therefore we propose
that cognitive heuristics in the area of phenomenology of time become an important theoretical
issue for further study. Empirical results were discussed in frames of phenomenological
and existential approaches to the temporality narrated.

The objective of this study was to identify the significance and accessibility ratio among Chinese
university students’ value hierarchy. This study involved 722 students, aged 18 to 25, who
studied at the universities of the major cities in China. We used the modified version of “The
Ratio of Significance-Accessibility” questionnaire by E. B. Fantalova (based on Rokeach Value
Survey) adapted for the Chinese participants. Descriptive statistics, Spearman’s Rho , and Ttest
were used for data analysis. Prioritized values ranked by their significance and accessibility
were found. The most significant values are family security, happiness and a comfortable
life; the least significant values are mature love, sense of accomplishment social recognition. The
most accessible values are family security, freedom, self-respect, the least achievable values are
mature love social recognition and wisdom. After having analyzed the top and bottom ranks
of the value hierarchy, we suggest that the distribution of both significance and accessibility
can be explained by the characteristics of the sample: the cultural traditions of the Chinese
students, the distinctive culture resulting from the Chinese one-child policy, the social status
of being university students. A high level of consistency of all values in terms of their significance
and accessibility was revealed. Based on the received data, we conclude that the Chinese
students who study within their country have harmonious axiological, or meaning of life and
value personality domain within their personality.

Background: at present psychotherapy is a well-accepted method of psychological work with
children and adolescents who have emotional problems. This article describes issues of psychoanalytical
psychotherapy with children. Objective: systematic review of therapeutic components
in a child psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Design: The article describes specifics of
child psychoanalytical psychotherapy. Different issues are discussed: goal and subject of psychotherapy,
parameters important for psychological diagnostics, a child’s way to let his/her
emotions become known are discussed. The child’s communications about his/her subjective
picture of the world are answered by a therapist. Professional answers are: analytic relationships,
verbalization, containing, and so on. The discussion of components of childhood psychoanalytical
psychotherapy in the article is accompanied by a clinical example of psychoanalytical work with a pediatric patient. The article presents sessions with the child that “shows”
the content of a psychoanalytic process. It allows a reader to clearly see the process of a child
psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Results: psychoanalytic psychotherapy as completed led to important
results. The psychological work made the manifestation of symptoms in the child not
necessary. Feelings now could be expressed by words, and not by actions or symptoms. The
symbolic function of the boy’s psyche could now take over concrete expressions. Conclusions:
The article shows the ability of a child psychoanalytical psychotherapy to bring changes in a
child’s personality. As a result of a psychoanalytic psychotherapy a child would learn to cope
with difficult sides of his/her experience, and not to reject them by symptoms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The development of the problem of identity is considered in the article, mainly in the sociopsychological
perspective. It is noted that although the growing interdisciplinary use of the
concept of identity can be analyzed from the point of view of new restrictions and new possibilities,
in any case, recent studies of identity are inextricably linked given the features of
contemporary social reality, which, to the maximum extent relevant to the constant search
of man’s existence, the implementation of the ongoing determination of his “I”. Attention to
situational uncertainty and changeable social context leads to widespread recognition of the crisis of identifying the structures of the personality and the corresponding emphasis on the
“fluid” identity of a person of “fluid” modernity, devoid of structural certainty and completeness.
This research trend is considered on the basis of the example of modern versions of three
traditional dichotomies in the analysis of identity: differentiation/integration, variability/
consistency and “I”/social context. It is shown that in each of these dichotomies the gradual
disappearance of meaningful oppositions can be observed: a change in structure and content
of definiteness in the understanding of identity and determining the regularities of its development.
More and more are emerging views that reflect the procedure and probability of any
of its manifestations. Stressing that such a shift in conceptualization was due to the dynamics
of contemporary social space: a study of the identity of recent decades has largely been the
attempt to understand how man confronts the uncertainty, multiplicity and variability of the
social world.

The Lovozero alkaline massif is the largest known alkaline layered intrusion (Semenov E. V.
et al., 1974). For the first time this paper examines the evolution compositions of clinopyroxenes
from the third intrusive phase introduced into the main magmatic stage (the complex
of eudialyte Lujavrites). A gap has been filled in for a detailed study of pyroxene, as the main
melanocratic rock-forming mineral of the massif. Petrographic features of clinopyroxenes
in various associations among the main rocks of the complex (eudialyte lujavrites, foyaites
and porphyry lujavrites) have been studied. The first approach that takes into account the
variational diversity of zonal crystals of clinopyroxenes and their morphology. Zonality and
morphology of crystals were studied in detail. The possible presence of Zr-johansenite and
Ti—Zr-aegirine minals is shown. The general and particular trends in the evolution of the
chemical composition corresponding to zonality are outlined. It was established that there is no
direct connection between the chemical composition of clinopyroxenes (in terms of the content
Ti—Zr-egirin and Zr-johansenite minals in them) with the stratigraphic rock level. It has been
established that rocks of similar clinopyroxenes are grouped in the same location at different
depths. For the first time, the highest content of ZrO2 (3.09 wt. %) was detected in the rocks
of the eudialyte lujavrita complex, despite the fact that in these rocks is present eudialyte as
widely distributed the zirconium phase and a possible scheme for the enrichment of rocks by
this element is proposed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A study of modern surface bottom sediments of the small lake Lamba located in the city of
Petrozavodsk is presented. Chemical analysis shows that the content of heavy metals (Pb, Zn,
Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, V, W) is significantly enriched in the sediments related to ferruginous
sapropels. This is caused by the influence of the urban environment and the processes of the
technogenic pollution as a result of the transboundary transport of metals. Based on the study
of the fossil diatomaceous flora of Lake Lamba numbering 124 diatom species, a connection
is established between the anthropogenic impact on the water body and the changes in the
structure of the diatom complex. Indicator species of the negative influence of the increased
concentrations of Pb, Cd, Tl, W and other pollutants on the ecosystem, as well as species
showing resistance to the investigated heavy metals, are determined. Finely dispersed particles
of lake deposits containing vanadium, which is one of the priority pollutants of the reservoir,
are found to accumulate in the valves of the diatoms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study of the bulk chemical composition of the sandstones of the Ai Formation of the
Burzyan Group of the Southern Urals (the stratotype of the Lower Riphean of Northern Eurasia)
led to the conclusion that they contain products of destruction of both the crystalline
basement rocks of the East European Platform and the sedimentary/metasedimentary rocks
of its platform protocover. In the composition of sandstones and associated clay rocks, there
appears to be a noticeable portion of lithogenous (repeatedly redeposited) material. Clay rocks
of the Ai Formation do not contain the so-called “camouflaged pyroclastics”, and, consequently,
the processes of their accumulation were not accompanied by erosion of volcanic rock or
synchronous explosive activity. As a whole, low values of the chemical index of alteration
(CIA) are inherent for fine-grained terrigenous formations. This makes it possible to assume
their formation under conditions of relatively pronounced tectonic activity in catchment areas,
possibly minimized by the effects of chemical weathering processes. A comparison of
the bulk chemical compositions of the terrigenous rocks of the Ai Formation with the composition
of the average Proterozoic craton sandstone, PAAS and a number of other reference
geological objects has shown that they are characterized by fairly wide variations in the content
of the main rock-forming oxides (significant chemical immaturity of the composition),
which can also be regarded as a reflection of their accumulation in sufficiently active tectonic
environments. Analysis of the bulk chemical composition of sandstones and clay rocks of the Ai Formation suggests that the sources of the clastic material were as acid magmatic rocks
as sedimentary and/or metasedimentary rocks with an increased amount of quartz; this is
consistent with the results of previous mineralogical-petrographic studies. The position of the
individual data points of sandstones and clay rocks of the Ai Formation on the DF1–DF2 diagram
(Verma and Armstrong-Altrin, 2013) does not allow us to draw a definite conclusion
about their paleogeodynamic nature, since one part of the points is located in the field that is
characteristic for sedimentary rocks of riftogenic environments, and the other lies in the field
typical for collision environments. More specifically, in favor of the riftogenic/synrift nature of
the terrigenous rocks of the Ai Formation, the distribution of the data points of their average
compositions on the DF1—DF2 diagram is evidence.

value:
The results of 25 years of observations (1992–2017) on 20 permanent key plots (PKP), founded
near Priladozhskaya educational-scientific field station of St. Petersburg University (150 km
North of St. Petersburg) are analyzed. The PKP are located in the landscape of North-Western
Ladoga Region, in the most typical landscape sites: on the tops and slopes of selga (ridges
composed of Archean and lower Proterozoic granitoids and treated by glacier), terraces on
lacustrine clays and loam, peat bogs of various types, etc. When locating the PKP, typical plant
communities were chosen (pine, spruce, mixed and small-leaved forests, pine woodlands,
overgrown meadows) and the most characteristic impacts (forest fires, selective cuttings,
windfalls, recent use in agriculture, drainage, and others). The most dynamic landscape in the
North-Western Ladoga Region are terraces on lacustrine clay and loam, for a long time used
in agriculture. Currently, processes of overgrowing realized at a 7 landscape-dynamic trajectories
are taking place. In other landscape sites, changes of a long-term state are initiated mainly
by fires and windfall, and subsequent processes of forest regeneration. In addition, the change
of tree species in forests can occur when small-leaved trees reach their maximal biological age.
The landscape sites of upper slopes of ridges and drained peat bogs with a predominance of
pine forests in the absence of catastrophic impacts are the most stable.

Gold and natural organic matter interaction, including the interaction with humic and fulvic
acids, is the most important part in migration and precipitation of that chemical element in
supergene zone. Research into elementorganic forms of gold and related elements, which are
often associated with gold deposits (As, Cu, Ag, Ni, Zn, Pb, Te, Bi, Se, Mo, Sb), allowed us to
learn the groups of elements bounding preferably to one or the other humus acids and the
most enriched with that element’s soil horizons. Complexation of gold and nickel are with
both humic and fulvic acids; zinc, silver and antimony bound preferably to humic acids, arsenic
and copper — with fluvic acids. More detailed research of different mobile forms of gold
in soil profiles allowed us to identify the features of gold forms related with the type of soil
horizon and location of soil profile in relation to the ore zone.

A method for analyzing local labor markets was proposed based on mobile operators’ data on
commuting along with official statistics for Moscow municipalities. In general, the features
of the main labor markets of urban municipalities tend to follow center-periphery differentiation.
Equally important is the role of inherited jobs allocation and construction activities,
which is well traced in the analysis of the municipalities of New Moscow. It is revealed that
the presence of a developed metro network allows studying city as a space with a united labor
market with a low share of population employed in their area of residence, even with accessibility
factor essential for New Moscow. Classifying municipalities according to proposed
methodology confirmed the center-periphery differentiation is clearly followed in the composition
of their types: from the center to the outskirts of the city, the representation of the
“working” districts decreases as the number of “sleeping” areas grows.

dc.description.abstract

value:
As a scholar and translator, Andrei Egunov (1895–1968) was focused on antiquity and its
reception in Russian culture. However, there are two documents in his archive that attest to
his interest in German literature: a translation of Friedrich Hölderlin’s Griechenland (Greece)
and the article Literary Reminiscences in “The Torrents of Spring” that summarizes the results
of his studies of Ivan Turgenev. The present article investigates the biographical and literary
background of Egunov’s German studies and seeks to reveal the context of these works and
their involvement with the issue of personal and cultural memory beyond the scope of his
usual translation and literary studies. Egunov’s translation of Hölderlin’s poem, his only poetic
translation, may have stemmed not merely from his general interest in German literature or
his experience living in Germany were as a Gastarbeiter during WWII. First and foremost, it
was an address to his colleagues and friends in the ABDEM circle, an expression of nostalgia
not so much for Ancient Greece as for the times when the members of ABDEM were translating
and studying the classical legacy together in the late 1920s and early 1930s. In his article
about the German reminiscences in Turgenev, Egunov touches upon specific features of his own poetics — perhaps, in a way as a reminiscence, too. We know of three literary works written
by Egunov under the pseudonym “A. Nikolev”: the novel Po tu storonu Tuly [Beyond Tula],
the collection of poems Eliseiskie radosti [Elysian Pleasures] and the poem Bespredmetnaia
iunost’ [Subjectless Youth], all distinguished by their deep intertextuality. Egunov’s observations
of similar phenomena in Turgenev and his distinction between literary allusions and
“inadvertent” reminiscences lead us to a deeper understanding of the nature of A. Nikolev’s
poetic world through the prism of A. Egunov’s literary studies.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes Leonid Andreev’s literary reputation in the socio-cultural context of the
20th and 21st centuries. Methodology of this study is based on I. N. Rosanov’s theory of literary
reputations, as well as on the works by B. M. Eikhenbaum, Iu. N. Tynianov, and N. A. Bogomolov.
The word Leonidandreevism was already widespread during Andreev’s lifetime and
it is still actively used as a value-laden expression applied to the content and style of various
phenomena in art. Unlike the concepts Tolstoyanism and Dostoevskianism, Leonidandreevism
refers not only to the psychological and philosophical aspects of the writer’s work but
also to the stylistic peculiarities of his prose and drama. The article demonstrates that this
concept has a predominantly negative connotation and is closely connected to Andreev’s
literary reputation that includes such characteristics as “the singer of horrors and nightmares”,
“an uncultured writer” (in the eyes of the symbolists), “a decadent and a degenerate”,
and “a hero of parodies”. The article also follows semantic metamorphoses of the concept
“Leonidandreevism” during the early Soviet period, in the postwar years, during perestroika,
and at present. This study uses L. Ia. Ginzburg’s notes on the psychology of the Soviet man,
Iu. K. Olesha’s diaries, reviews and articles of different years, and Internet resources that can
provide an idea about using the word both in contemporary speech and in the discourse of
literary criticism. The examples used in the article demonstrate that at the present time both
meanings of the word Leonidandreevism are equally common. The author concludes that
the concept Leonidandreevism has crossed the boundaries of its epoch and become a part of
mass consciousness — one of the stereotypes that helps to perceive the changes in ideology
and literary tastes in Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The eschatological issues are integral part of late Georgi Ivanov’s lyrics. They get their artistic
realization in the original style poetry and in the development of the archetypal motif of
life / death, revealed through metaphorical images of the boundaries, doors, and windows.
The article is devoted to the lyrical and philosophical topos in the lyrics Ivanov in the period
of the emigration. The texts of the cycles Roses, Departure to the island Citer, Portrait No
Similarity, Diary and Posthumous Diary, fragments from the poem The Decay of the Atom are
studied. The relevance of the article is determined by the fact that an interpretation of topos
as a formula which lies in the impersonal depths of the literary process makes it possible to
interpret the author in a broad national-cultural context. The article concludes that the topos
of a doorstep presented in the poetry of Ivanov marks existential reflection of the situation in
the borderland, and the constancy with which the poet returned to this subject. It indicates
his tendency to transgression. A study of the original interpretation of G. Ivanov’s lyrics of the doorstep topos and of a number of correlating motives allows to visualize the dynamics of
the artistic forms of expression and ideological position of the author. A correlation with the
classical literary context convinces us that the extreme focus on the situation of the frontier
designated it the artist who continued, after Dostoevsky, Tiutchev, Tolstoy, Russian traditions
of existential consciousness. The “experience of the limit” which was reflected in the works of
G. Ivanov and inherited from the Silver Age, and survival skills in emigration gave this tradition
a new dimension.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article characterizes the emergence of the “pre-postmodernist complex” in Leonid Andreev’s
prose and dramas against the background of the processes in the works by the symbolists
of the 1910s. F. Sologub created original cycles of miniatures such as Transformations,
Short Fairy Tales. They appeared in the process of reducing all the artistic elements in the
structure of the novellas, and a combination of completely opposite fragments or fragments of
different nature was the basis of their grotesque integrity. This resulted in an ironic “descent” of
the metamorphosis from the level of myth to an everyday situation, a deconstruction of the didactic
genre of fairy tale, a play with common stereotypes, presenting paradoxical judgements
and opinions. This foreboded the artistic practice of the Russian futurists (treating the word,
interpreting and using its sign nature, functions of the primitive, etc.), Kharms’s absurdist
prose, S. Krzyżanowski’s Fairy Tales for Wunderkinder, etc. In his short stories of the1910s
from The Nights and the Days, and Rea Silvia. Eluli, the Son of Eluli, Bryusov departed from the
symbolist stylization and the author’s conception of The Earth’s Axis to pre-postmodernism,
not to realism (as it is generally acknowledged). The invariant model of Bryusov’s modernist
novella can be found at the basis of his works. In his poetics, a far greater role is assigned
to irony, demythologization, a game with the reader, the intertext, and the author’s word is
sometimes lost because of the expressly “cento”-text. The ironic adjustment of the concept
used by the artist as the person who owns “the keys to mysteries” opened the space to different
interpretation of works, being an anticipation of Nabokov’s and postmodernists’ techniques.
Andreev’s works of 1908–1919 (from My Notes to Satan’s Diary) also have the “pre-postmodernist
complex” characteristic of the post-symbolism. This complex includes a considerable
amplification of irony and of the game principle with tragifarce traits; an important role of
metatext; the conjugation of creating myths with demythologization, i. e. a play with the myth,
an ironic reconsideration of the symbolist, Christian, ideological myths and one’s own myths,
created in the past; the “twinkling” of meanings resulting in the multiple interpretations of
the works. All these strategies and the specific features of the poetics were revealed in ironic
novellas (The Son of Man, Carelessness, The End of John the Preacher, A Devil at the Wedding,
The Donkeys, The Cuckolds, Chemodanov, etc.), miniatures (The Tales not quite for Children,
My Anecdotes), one-act parodic and ironic “little comedies” (from The Love to Your Neighbor
to The Monument).

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on the works of the “young emigration” writer Leonid Zurov (1902–1971) in
the context of traditions of the Russian Silver Age. The research is based on the analysis of the
stories and novels Cadet, An Ancient Way, Field, Blue Cow Wheat, and some archival materials.
Author concludes that in Zurov’s works there are features of neo-realism esthetics. Zurov’s
model of the world is characterized by cosmism, unity of natural and social life, approval of
the feasibility of existence. In the sphere of style there are the processes typical for neo-realism:
lyricism in narration, weakening of fable connections, dissolution of genre border. Images
tend to symbolization (e. g. floral and color symbols), at Zurov’s creativity there are through
mythemes: ancient way, field, earth, sun, waters. The titles of the novels An Ancient Way and
Field represent the mythemes which reflected the historical concept of Zurov who studied
archeology and claimed that the northwest area of Russia had been populated with Slavs since
ancient times. The field mytheme in Zurov’s works is allocated with the meanings which are
going back to folklore, Old Russian and literary traditions. The floral symbols are connected
with comparison of a person and a plant, e. g. killed soldiers on the battlefield are compared
to the cut-off rye ears. The symbolism of blue and gold colors in the story Blue Cow Wheat
also goes back to the Russian folklore, an Old Russian iconography and “young symbolism”
aesthetics. These features indicate the enrichment of traditional realism means with the new
modernist esthetics.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper analyses some problems of intertextuality research: the question about the reminiscence
as artistic technique based on a phenomenon of reader’s perception. Secondly, the question about reminiscence-variability, allusion and “topos” that can mute texts’ relations,
or they can highlight that. The variability of the intertextual elements can be regarded as a
technique of complicated game with a reader that can’t be simply reduced to “the appellation
to reader’s erudition”. In order to avoid textual “perusal extremity” (i. e. wrong finding in every
textual element an immoderately important and massive cluster of meanings, — a negative result
of so-called “close reading”-technique), we offer to distinguish two types of reminiscences
with monosemantic (or simple) attribution and with obscure (or uncertain) attribution. The
variability of reminiscence, allusion and “topos” is analyzed on study of two chains of literary
works, bounded up together by multi-layer intertextual relations. The first chain consists:
Pushkin Devils — Blok Mask of Snow — Severyanin Sonnet. The second chain: Myatlev How
Fair, how Fresh were Roses… — Severyanin Classical Roses — K. Romanov Roses — Akhmadulina
Deed of Rose — G. Ivanov Undertones of Rowanberry and Raspberry… That case study
shows the high variability of intertextual elements and a spectrum of author’ methods to accent
/ obscure the dialogue between main-text and text of contemporary / not-contemporary
author. We underline, that reminiscence, allusion, “topos” and though exact citation can realize
many different literary tasks: breaking off with a literary tradition or literary standard, or
remaining of any tradition or debating with that, dispute with the literary type or with the
author of quoted text. The analysis of polyintertextual dialogue offers us see their intricate dialogue,
their consecution to pretext. We therefore claim the elaboration and interior gradation
not only the terminus “reminiscence”, but the other important intertextual theory categories.

The article considers the literary practice and a theoretical reflection concerning the personality
and works of the outstanding Russian poet of the beginning of the 20th century, creative
leader of the Russian futurism Velimir Khlebnikov as it is presented in the texts of four modern
poets positioning themselves as neofuturists and heirs of great “budetlyanin”: Heinrich Sapgir,
Gennady Aygi, Alexander Kondratov and Sergey Biryukov who represent different regions of
distribution of the Russian avant-garde and at least two of its generations. The article considers
how Khlebnikov’s strategy and creative principles were inherited by the modern poets: use
of word creation, boffinry (zaum), anagrams and palindromes, free and heteromorphic verse,
the appeal to visuality and the sounding word, an infantile discourse. The main forms of references
to Khlebnikov in the works of new poets are revealed: references to his name, names of
works, names of the heroes, citing texts of Khlebnikov. Aygi positively speaks of Khlebnikov
in the essays and poems, devotes a special prosymetrical text to the anniversary of the poet,
and also actively uses the verse types developed by him, especially — the heteromorphic one.
Unsociable persons inherits from the senior poet specific acceptances of creativity (use of
word creation, boffinry (zaum), anagrams and palindromes, the appeal to visuality and the
sounding word, creative behavior), and also makes him the hero of the verses, quotes verses
and Velimir’s prose. It is noted that the works of the modern poets created “on the traces” of
Khlebnikov are distinguished by rationalism of strategy and techniques that were absent in the
futurism. Also, the authors who inherited Khlebnikov’s traditions, but who are not mentioned

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of impressionism in the Russian literature has attracted the attention of researchers
throughout the 20th century. The authors of the works on the impressionism (I. I. Ioffe,
B. V. Mikhailovsky, I. V. Koretsky, V. T. Zakharova, L. G. Andreev, N. O. Nilsson and others) attempted
to determine its place in relation to realism, naturalism, symbolism and expressionism. Quite fairly, the poetics of L. N. Andreev is associated with the aesthetics of expressionism.
However, this view doesn’t exclude some impressionistic trends in Andreev’s early works.
In a few works on the impressionism of Leonid Andreyev (M. Nevedomsky, K. Chukovsky,
L. N. Voitolovsky, T. Y. Ganzelevich), authors analyse mainly the early stories of the writer. Unfortunately,
none of the researchers has shown any interest in his satires. The article analyses
poetics and aesthetics of impressionism in Andreev’s early satires during the period of his
work in the Moscow newspaper “Courier” in 1900–1903. The impressionistic element in the
Andreev satires is imbued with delicate, soulful lyricism. As a rule, the lyrical fragments are
found in the satires, where Andreev is talking about theatrical performances of the Moscow
Art theatre, describes his visits to art exhibitions or his voyages (The Volga and the Kama,
Travel experiences. Riga. The Baltic Sea, The South). In this regard his article about the trip
on the Riga coast is particularly interesting. The attentive consideration of the feuilleton by
Andreev suggests that some elements of the impressionistic poetics and aesthetics such as the
subjectivity of the narrative, the transmission of flickering impressions created through visual,
audible, olfactory sensations, the use of a wide range of color and lighting of signs; increased
interest in the landscape, which often merges with the psychological state of the protagonist
and conveys a certain mood were successfully implemented in them.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The author conducts a research on perception of Leonid Andreyev’s works in Russian symbolic
literary, philosophical criticism and religious philosophy of the late 19th century. The
subject of the analysis is anthropological aspects of prose and dramaturgy of the writer
that fueled heated discussions between ideologists of the Russian symbolism. Philosophical
discourse about the man became the basis of interpretation of Leonid Andreyev’s works in
the articles and philosophical essays of theoreticians of the Russian symbolism. Symbolists
introduced anthropological concepts and terms of the Russian religious philosophy such as
“God and man”, “essence of human”, “human body”, “Godmanhood”, “outer self ”, and “inner
self ”. The article shows that interpretations by the contemporaries of Andreyev’s works
were unfolding in context of important concepts of Russian symbolism: neo-Christianity of
Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Dmitry Filosofov, Dionysian ideas of Vyacheslav Ivanov, apocalyptic
themes of Andrey Bely, philosophy of art of Maximilian Voloshin, Innokenty Annensky
and Alexander Blok. The symbolists considered that symbols of man introduced by Andreyev
were mysterious and incomprehensible. Concepts of “death of the God” and “death
of human” are analyzed. In symbolists’ literary criticism there evolved an idea of crisis of
religious consciousness as a threat to humanistic values. The symbolists regarded the image
of man in Andreyev’s creative work as destructive. Works of the writer were understood as
examples of extreme and transgressivity finished to the point of absurdity. A conclusion is
made that experience of the writer was important for development of philosophical thought
and art creativity of the Russian symbolists. Specifics of the symbolists’ polemic was in their
anthropological perspective of Andreyev’s works and outlining further ways of interpretation
of his writing heritage in context of philosophical and religious anthropology of the
20th century.

dc.description.abstract

value:
With the emergence of regular samizdat periodicals in the mid-70s. for the members of the
“second culture” became aware of the need of conceptual understanding of the goals and objectives
of the Leningrad uncensored poetry and its place in the cultural context. One of the literary-critical strategies that describe the specifics of the Leningrad unofficial poetry in the
1970s was proposed by V. Krivulin in a number of the articles published in the journals Chasy,
Obvodniy kanal, Thirty-Seven (37) and others. This article discusses the main critical thoughts
of Krivulin about the concept of “spirituality” which combines the aesthetic and religious connotations.
Krivulin’s critical articles are analyzed in the context of his participation in the
religious and philosophical section organized by the poet together with T. Goricheva, within
which the terminological language of self-representation of members of unofficial culture was
formed. This language also included ethical models, through which Krivulin analyzed the
works of uncensored authors. In his article on I. Brodsky, the poet’s work after emigration is
regarded as a rejection of the “prophetic” function, which is the most characteristic feature of
Leningrad poetry and also the main concept of the aesthetic program of Krivulin itself during
this period. This article also raises the question of Krivulin’s passeism, his “retro-modern”
desire to re-establish connection with the culture of the Silver Age by expanding the status of
the poet and endowing him with prophetic properties. Partially examined the transformation
of Krivulin’s views on the Leningrad unofficial poetry of the 1970s in the post-Soviet period,
which was characterized by a focus on the adogmatism and independence of the worldview of
the authors of that period.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article tells about the elements of the Baroque emblems in Tolstoy’s works. The emblematic
method of representation and interpretation of the reality has parallels with the artistic
attitudes of Tolstoy, his works reflect one of the basic properties of the emblem — to extract
Supreme and eternal meanings hidden in visible image. At the same time in Tolstoy’s texts the emblematic combination reveals also the other sides — it manifests itself as a mnemonic
device and as a “technique of defamiliarisation”. We can find an example in an episode from
War and Peace — the dream of Pierre “about the ball from living moving drops”. The structure
of this episode, which is important for the understanding of the metaphysics of Tolstoy,
refers to the emblematic triad — inscription or title (inscriptio), image (pictura) and epigram
(subscriptio). The plot of the middle part — the description of the globe — is associated with
a specific emblem from the collections, which is important to the Rosicrucian circle.While
working on War and Peace Tolstoy read a lot of Masonic literature and studied the archives
and documents of the Moscow Rosicrucians. This emblem could be quite known to the writer
what is implicitly pointed by both the visual images of the dream and its semantic contents
where religious and philosophical ideas of the Rosicrucians is very notable. The writer also
utilises this special formation of sense, combining visuality and reflection, in the depiction of
the war in Sevastopol stories and War and Peace. The analysis of the battle scenes leads to the
conclusion that the emblematic mechanism serves as one of the techniques of “defamiliarisation”
of Tolstoy. Moreover, by doing so the writer created a series of “meaning-images”, his
own kind of thesaurus of the military theme.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the modern world, crop plants represent a major source of daily consumed
foods. Among them, cereals and legumes — i.e. the crops accumulating oils,
carbohydrates and proteins in their seeds — dominate in European agriculture,
tremendously impacting global protein consumption and biodiesel production.
Therefore, the seeds of crop plants attract the special attention of biologists,
biochemists, nutritional physiologists and food chemists. Seed development
and germination, as well as age- and stress-related changes in their viability and
nutritional properties, can be addressed by a variety of physiological and biochemical
methods. In this context, the methods of functional genomics can be
applied to address characteristic changes in seed metabolism, which can give
access to stress-resistant genotypes. Among these methods, proteomics is one
of the most effective tools, allowing mining metabolism changes on the protein
level. Here we discuss the main methodological approaches of seed proteomics
in the context of physiological changes related to environmental stress and
ageing. We provide a comprehensive comparison of gel- and chromatographybased
approaches with a special emphasis on advantages and disadvantages
of both strategies in characterization of the seed proteome.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The first studies on plant anaerobiosis started at the Department of Plant Physiology
at St. Petersburg University in the beginning of the 20th century, but interest
in this subject became most intensive during the investigations of the
ecological plant physiology group under the supervision of Prof. T. V. Chirkova.
Their first step was focused on the mechanisms of transport of gases from the
aerated aboveground part of the plant to the flooded root system. Further interest
shifted towards clarifying the biochemistry of respiratory metabolism,
pathways of reoxidation of the reduced cofactors, and protein and lipid metabolism
of plants under anoxic conditions. The group’s studies have always
distinguished the comparative approach, in which the changes taking place in
plants differing in resistance to oxygen deficiency were analyzed. In many ways,
this research was pioneering and was recognized throughout the world. For the
first time the possibility of hydrogen peroxide formation in plants under total
anoxia was demonstrated. The role of cell membranes in adaptation processes
was revealed. Pioneering investigations distinguished the features of photosynthesis
in an oxygen-free environment and the work of an antioxidant system
under conditions of anoxia and post-anoxic oxidative effects. Now, the plant
ecophysiology group of the Department of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry
of St. Petersburg State University concentrates on the mechanisms of anaerobic
signal transduction and reveals how plant hormones regulate adaptation to
anoxic and post-anoxic stresses.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was grown under autotrophic batch culturing, which
is known to be a widely applicable method for both fundamental research and
applied purposes. This type of cultivation results in elevation of cell density and
fast exhaustion of nutrient resources. We expected the revealed metabolic adaptation
to be triggered at the transcriptional level. This investigation focuses on
analyzing expression of the genes encoding enzymes involved in primary metabolism
and plastid transporters during the exponential phase of C. reinhardtii autotrophic
batch culture. About two-thirds of the tested genes demonstrated differential
expression during algae growth. Patterns of expression were clustered into
5 groups. Most of the genes were gathered in two large clusters, characterized
by peaks of expression at early or later exponential growth (EG). Genes which
showed maximal expression in early EG were OMT1, HXK1, AMYB1, ACK1,2, CHLREDRAFT_
123419, APE2, PCK1, CHLREDRAFT_195672, CIS2, TPT2 and ACLA1. Among the
genes with maximal expression in later EG were SBE3, TPIC, CHLREDRAFT_137300,
CHLREDRAFT_111372, PPT1 and CHLREDRAFT_122970. There were no genes detected
with maximal expression at the cessation of proliferation. PCA showed that
the expression profiles in the beginning EG were similar, and profiles changed
drastically in the middle of exponential growth. PLS-DA revealed the difference
between the beginning of EG and later periods linked to PC1 (44%), between late
EG and early stationary linked to PC2 (23%) and finally between two points at
the beginning of growth linked to PC3 (10%). Mapping of genes and metabolites
according to their correlation revealed a graph with two clusters. The first, smaller
cluster contains genes that encode plastid exporters, enzymes of starch and
carbohydrates metabolism. The expression level of these genes peaked later in
EG. These genes are mainly associated with metabolites such as carbohydrates,
acylglycerols and fatty acids metabolism. The second cluster is larger and more
diverse. It combines genes with maximum expression in the beginning of EG. The
core of this cluster is formed by genes encoding enzymes of fatty acids synthesis,
energy and plastic pathways, and plastid transporters. This cluster included the
majority of amino acids, carboxylic acids and many fatty acids.

value:
Plant cell elongation growth is an integral process involved in different plant
movements (tropisms); it provides the possibility to reach different resources
of energy, water and nutrition and is therefore important for metabolism and
development. Cell multiple enlargement along the longitudinal axis is commonly
accepted to be under the control of the phytohormone auxin. One of
the key enzymes involved in elongation is the plasma membrane H+-ATPase,
which is known to acidify the cell wall. Investigation of the role of the proton
pump at the plasma membrane was initiated by Prof. Vsevolod V. Polevoi and
still is in progress in the group of Prof. Maria F. Shishova at the Department of
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, St. Petersburg State University. Different
mechanisms of post-translation regulation of H+-pump activity are discussed in
this review. We also suggest a possible scheme of elongation growth based on
the shift in plant cell sensitivity to auxin and on its facility to elongate.

The plant cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic system that consists of two components:
microfilaments and microtubules. Actin microfilaments are essential
for polar growth, cytoplasmic streaming, directing polar growth, anchoring the
nucleus, gravity sensing, signalling pathway integration and a number of other
functions. Actin morphology and dynamics are orchestrated by a variety of
small actin binding proteins, and some of them have become a source of actin
interaction domains widely used as markers for microfilaments in fusions with
fluorescent reporter proteins. However, older techniques are still employed for
actin visualization. In this short review, we will focus on the diversity of fluorescent
reporter fusions for F-actin and on approaches and existing free software
for the analysis of cytoskeleton organization, mainly in Arabidopsis.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Organic acid metabolism is of fundamental importance at the cellular and at
the whole plant level. In recent years there has been increased attention in
the role of organic acids in modulating adaptation to the environment, including
organic acids participation in the detoxification of heavy metals. The basis
of the phenomenon is the ability of acids such as citrate, malate, oxalate,
malonate, aconitate and tartrate to form strong bonds with heavy metal ions
through metal chelatation with carboxyl groups carrying the function of donor
oxygen in metal-ligands. This review deals with aspects of extracellular and intracellular
chelation of heavy metal ions with the involvement of organic acids.
We consider the role of metal-induced secretion of malate, citrate and oxalate
by roots of various plant species in extracellular complexation of heavy metals
and in the reduction of their bioavailability for plants. We also review the possible
mechanisms of stimulation of metals uptake by plants under the influence
of exogenous application of organic acids in the soil. The efficiency of intracellular
chelation of heavy metal ions with the participation of organic acids is
considered due to the importance of this strategy in hyperaccumulators and
non-hyperaccumulators to improve metal tolerance in plants.

value:
Phlorotannins are the most abundant group of metabolites specific for brown
algae. These substances contribute both to the primary and secondary metabolism
of the algal cells and have practical relevance as biologically active compounds.
The list of their presumable physiological functions is still not exhaustive
and includes wound healing, chelation of heavy metal ions, bioadhesion,
contribution to the processes of algal early embryogenesis and sporogenesis,
etc. Similar to higher plant phenolics, phlorotannins also have antioxidant properties,
provide chemical defense against herbivores and contribute to cell wall
rigidification. The complex and diverse composition of natural phlorotannins
hampers investigation of their physiological roles and leads to inconsistencies
in the obtained data. Further study of the correlation between the structure of
these substances and their functions is needed to take a new look at known information,
thus providing better performance in the fields of both fundamental
algal physiology and applied phycology.

dc.description.abstract

value:
It was shown that basipetal retardation of cell elongation in the growth zone of
etiolated maize mesocotyls correlates with a steep decrease in the apoplastic
ascorbic acid (ASC) concentration (50 μM → 10 μM) and ascorbate redox state
(17% → 5%). Exogenous ASC (0.3 mM) not only inhibits peroxidase-dependent
oxidation of phenols in vitro. It also exerts a highly specific effect on the secretion
of peroxidases by stimulating the release of some isoforms while inhibiting
the release of others to the cell walls. This effect points to the hypothetic signaling
function of apoplastic ascorbate. Previously, we described a basipetal decrease
in hydrogen peroxide concentration in the apoplast (from 5.1 to 2.0 μM)
and a two-times increase in cell wall peroxidase potential activity (Sharova et
al., 2012). Summarizing found gradients, we can assume that the conditions in
the apoplast of the upper mesocotyl segment are favorable for the occurrence
of the Fenton reaction (high ASC and hydrogen peroxide concentrations) and
unfavorable for the oxidation of phenols (high ASC concentration and low potential
peroxidase activity), which contributes to cell wall extensibility and rapid
cell elongation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper discusses the notion of physis in the fragments of the Pythagoreans Philolaus of
Croton and Archytas of Tarentum. Building on the twentieth-century discussion of the two
basic meanings of physis, ‘growth’ and ‘being’ (section 2), it argues that Philolaus was most
probably the author of the first treatise entitled Περὶ φύσεως, as the first-century BC writer
Diogenes of Magnesia testifies. The remaining evidence on Presocratic books entitled Περὶ
φύσεως is late and unreliable (section 3). ἁ φύσις in Philolaus B 1 and 6 denotes ‘all that exists’;
the Pythagorean speaks of physis in a generalized collective sense as of everything that came
into being and exists in the world-order (section 4). As distinct from Philolaus, Archytas did
not develop a doctrine of principles, and his epistemology was not constrained by metaphysical
presuppositions. Archytas B 1 considers physis from both cosmological and epistemological
points of views, as ‘the nature of the whole’ that is available to human cognition. Without
setting any conditions or limitations to this process, as Philolaus did, he reinforces the latter’s
declaration that “all the things that are known have number” (B 4) by making four Pythagorean
mathēmata the principal cognitive tools for scientific enquiry into nature (section 5).

dc.description.abstract

value:
Going through what has been written about the reception of antiquity in Russian literature, one detects
quite huge unexplored areas. The second half of the 20th century as well as contemporary (i.e. post-Soviet)
literature are — with very few exceptions — beyond the scope of research. The article draws attention to
the well-known underground and then émigré poet Aleksei Tsvetkov (*1947), who after 2001/2006 saw an
exceptional comeback. References to Greek and Roman literature and history are frequent in his oeuvre. In
about two dozens of texts these motifs are dominant, three of these poems are analyzed in the article (latyn’,
domashnee chtenie, rasskaz ochevidtsa). One of the most important aspects in Tsvetkov’s creative reception
of the classics is that his poems are not only occupied with conceptualizing our connection to ancient culture
and demonstrating the vitality of at least some literary topics (love, separation) which are able to bridge
the temporal and spatial distance. They also deal with controversial aspects of the Greek and Roman legacy,
such as the Trojan War, the Thermopylae myth or Alexander’s imperial aspirations. In rasskaz ochevidtsa,
Tsvetkov links the fate of Callisthenes, historiographer in the service of Alexander the Great, to the experiences
of Stalinism and — referring to Polish literature — the Warsaw uprising in 1944.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The scale and character of the Swedish historian Petrus Petrejus’ influence on Historia Belli
Sveco-Moscovitici Decennalis by his countryman Johannes Widekindi have not been subject to
systematical research; only a few of the loaned passages have been identified as such by Helge
Almquist and the editors of the Russian translation of Widekindi. The general evaluation of
Petrejus’ importance for Widekindi as formulated by the latter ones is nevertheless somewhat
exaggerated. This article contains a list of the loans and a discussion of the problems that
emerge when distinguishing the loans from Petrejus from the loans from the other sources
(Stanisław Kobierzycki, Axel Oxenstierna, geographical and documentary sources). The analysis
points out that Widekindi has not used the manuscript of Conrad Bussow’s chronicle. Finally,
the mechanism of Widekindi’s work with Petrejus is specified. Despite being acquainted
with the German version, he usually resorted to the Swedish one. Some details of Widekindi’s
rendering of the information given by Petrejus demonstrate that when paraphrasing (and not
quoting word for word, as on three occasions) Petrejus, the Latin text of Widekindi is the
source text for his Swedish. So two steps of the work may be discerned: first Widekindi paraphrased
Petrejus in his Latin draft, and then he added to the Swedish translation some fragments
of the Swedish text by Petrejus.
