dc.description.abstract

value:
To counter the predominance of narratology and other self-serving approaches to the Ilias of
Homer which have swarmed the recent criticism, the author of this article poses a number of
simple questions to Achilles himself eliciting answers through the clues the text of the Ilias alone
can offer. “What is your role in the Ilias?” “Pivotal”. “What caused your wrath and withdrawal
from battle?” “Self-respect and abhorrence of the ostentatiously lavish gifts meant to insult”.
“Why then did you return to battle in the end?” “The death of Patrocles has dealt such a blow
that there is no longer any heeding of trifles, the wrath giving way to vengeance which exhausts
itself, but only by way of compassion.” “Is there anything you value most?” “It is but life itself,
the loss of which is irrecoverable, and not, as one could over-hastily conclude, undying glory.”
With the help of these questions, the author hopes to tap into the very heart of this epic poem
and its main hero, Achilles, making it evident each time that Homer masterfully goes beyond
the boundaries of what is traditionally believed to be the heroic code of conduct thus making it
richer and less clear-cut. The voice of Achilles reaching to us through millennia is a living voice.

dc.description.abstract

value:
On the way to his famous encounter with Achilles in the last book of the Iliad, Priam is confronted
with a series of obstacles. The final and biggest is the huge bolt on the door of Achilles’
dwelling, a unique object that is described elaborately by the poet of the Iliad. Three men are
needed to open this bolt, only Achilles is able to unbolt the door alone. (Il. 24, 453–458). By
using in an innovative way a typical motif of the oral epic tradition with several parallels in the
epic (Il. 5, 302–306; 12, 445–450; 16, 140–144), the poet has given this bolt a singular symbolic
meaning. It symbolizes Achilles’ isolation and unapproachability after the death of Patroclus.
Priam, the old king of Troy, would never be able to approach Achilles in this situation without
divine help. Hermes, his godly guide, opens the bolt for Priam and clears the way to Achilles,
as he helped him before. Without divine intervention, there would be no encounter, no
communication, no pity (eleos) in Achilles’ room. The reconciliation can only come to pass
by divine motivation and guidance. Without the gods, Achilles’ bolt would remain closed and
Priam would be forced to stand in front of locked doors.

Friedrich Graefe, the first Professor of Greek and Latin at the University of St Petersburg
(1819–1851), a full member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, teacher and friend of the
famous Russian classicist and reformer S. S. Uvarov, belonged to the first generation of pupils
studying in Leipzig under Gottfried Hermann. Following Hermann, Graefe expressed himself
and wrote poetry in Latin and Ancient Greek. The list of his published Latin and Greek poetry
(Gelegenheits–Schriften) can be found in the Bulletin of the Imperial Academy of Sciences,
SPb. — Leipzig, 1852, 303–304. This article offers the first editions with a commentary of Ancient
Greek translations by Graefe of the prologue to Friedrich Schiller’s Bride of Messina (Die
Braut von Messina oder die feindlichen Brüder) and the poem Modesty, by the Russian poet
Gavriil Derzhavin (1743–1816). The article deals with the undated and probably unpublished
manuscript which seems to be a small Greek anthology of eleven poems in various metres:
iambic trimeter, dactylic hexameter, elegiac distich, Sapphic stanza, and the prose exhortation,
written in the hand of Graefe and stored in the Manuscript Department of the Russian National
Library in St Petersburg, among the papers of I. V. Pomyalovsky (1845–1906), a professor
of classics at St Petersburg University. Graefe must have been encouraged to translate from
Schiller by Hermann (who himself translated four parts from Schiller’s Wallenstein trilogy) if
not directly, at least by the example of his own translations.

The Latin of the twentieth century, English allows us to experience to the full the many situations
in which one has to switch between a mother tongue and a lingua franca. This article
aspires to show that, contrary to the unhappy coinage ‘a dead language’, Latin was very much
alive all through the early modern period and up to the early nineteenth century, being a
means of communication for the people of various social standing and not, as it is largely
preconceived today, a skills kit to exercise one’s intellectual capacities. Latinity was a marker
of social standing, of belonging, but in an individual speaker, it did not exist on an entirely
different plane from the national dialects. It is believed that Latin fell into disuse with the rise
of the national languages, their gradual progress through the system of education, and an urge
for artistic expression of the new self-conscious nations. Once the need to bring this flux of
spoken dialects in which the national languages naturally existed to a literary standard arose,
Latin, to its undoing, offered its grammar as a paradigm. Once formal schooling came to be
conducted in the national languages, Latin lost its ground never to recover it again.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article interprets the thirsty Hercules of Propertius 4.9 as a mixture of a proto-Augustan
figure, an elegiac lover, and a Callimachean poet. It argues that this image can be read as a
metapoetic symbol of the transformation of Roman elegy from an erotic into a political genre,
which Propertius enacts in his entire poetic oeuvre. The article begins by drawing attention
to the fact that, by analogy with Virgil’s treatment of the Heracles-Cacus-episode in Aeneid 8,
the poem ends like a cletic hymn, which, curiously enough, urges Hercules not to appear in a
cultic context but ‘to be present in my book’ (Prop. 4.9.72 libro … inesse meo). It then analyzes
parallels between the Hercules narrative of 4.9 and the overall poetic trajectory of Propertius
1-4, drawing particular attention to the portrayal of Cynthia as a notional synonym of Propertius’
erotic elegy in Books 1-3 and to the gradual emergence of Augustus’ infinitely expanding
empire as a preferred object of an eroticized longing, which becomes fully apparent in Book
4. Finally, it shows that the poem’s allusions to Callimachus’ Hymns (the Bath of Pallas, the
Hymn to Zeus, and the Hymn to Apollo) constitute the core of its metapoetic meaning, and
argues that Propertius’ version of ‘Callimachean poetics’ consists in staging a transformation
of the elegiac desire for the unattainable into an act of heroic / imperial conquest.

value:
This paper focuses on Cicero’s prefaces to his philosophical Tusculan disputations and in particular
on their function. I will argue that in these paratexts, Cicero not only comes to grips
with the concept and value of philosophy, but also inaugurates the genre of the history of
philosophy in Rome. To support this thesis, I will illuminate at first the four aspects and concepts
of ‘philosophy’ which Cicero develops: (2.1) philosophy as studium sapientiae, (2.2) philosophy
in the Latin language, (2.3) ‘perfect philosophy’: the method and models of Cicero,
and (2.4) philosophy as ‘medicine for the soul’. In a second step, two narratives that Cicero
provides will illustrate (3) the scope of philosophy and its history in the prefaces. Both narratives
also present intercultural encounters: the first (3.1) between the early Greek philosopher
Pythagoras and the Etruscan king Numa, the second (3.2) between the so-called ‘Athenian
legation’ and the senate in Rome. Against this background, I will finally focus on the climax
of Cicero’s fifth preface, in which he outlines, in a spectacular overview, a history of philosophy.
This sketched history of philosophy covers (4.1) an early time of wisdom and some even
earlier representatives from a mythical time, (4.2) then the ‘old philosophy’ opening up with
Pythagoras, and finally (4.3) the ‘Socratic’ philosophy. Cicero’s own dialogues belong to the
latter category, being its consummate realisation. Through his own Latin endeavour to write a
history of philosophy in Rome, Cicero in fact works out his own biased history of philosophy,
which finds its fulfilment in Cicero himself.

value:
The author attempts to map the stages through which the Latin appellative lacerna, ‘an open
cloak fastened at the shoulder’, passed to eventually serve as a toponym Βλαχέρναι. In the
bilingual times of the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, lacerna was not only known but
also adopted into Greek as λακέρνα / λαχέρνα. Having been used during the life span of two
generations to designate one of the main relics of the sacred precinct in the north-west of
Constantinople — the Ἐσθής, or, rather Ἐσθῆτα, the Robe of the Blessed Virgin, λαχέρνα
shed both its Latin origin and precise meaning in the memory lane of a Greek speaker; in a
situation of ever diminishing bilingualism, the word came to be used as some kind of a vague
proper name for the famous church with its relic. Very soon the word made a step further in
the same direction becoming an umbrella place-name for the whole sacred precinct. In the
process of adaptation, the beginning of the word underwent a phonetic change to become
Βλαχέρναι, with the emerging sound having virtually no palpable cause, be it even that certain
parallels for such can be provided. As the name of the district in the capital of Eastern Rome,
the word made its return into Latin in the form Vlachernae and due to the significance and
celebrity of the place came to enjoy worldwide renown.

value:
The wholesale denunciation of ‘Epictetus and other Stoics’ found in the Odes of Jacob Balde
(1604–1668), a Jesuit and a poet, comes as a surprise amid general admiration for the Encheiridion
in the Christian circles and the eagerness to marry Stoicism with Christianity evident
even at times when such marriage would come at a stretch. Since Epictetus offers himself for
such adaptations with ease, the case of Balde requires looking into it. The disdain poured out
by Balde with all probability has its causes not in his thorough — or indeed at least passing —
acquaintance with the Encheiridion itself, but in the anonymous compilation De vera sapientia,
virtute et tranquillitate animi enchiridion DD. Eucherii Lugdunensis, Martini Bracarensis,
et Magni Wigonis Antistitum of 1639, current under the name of Guigo de Castro (Wigo of
Balde’s Latin ode). The compiler wages a war on Stoicism providing his reader with a repository
of violently, albeit unwittingly, perverted examples from the Encheiridion (the crushed
seashells and earthenware pot lamp doubling as a chamber pot obviously being the go-for
favourites of his sources) which Balde, who probably was not acquainted with Epictetus firsthand,
only too eagerly used as a foil for his image of Paul the Apostle.

This article outlines the main principles on which Hippocrates (ca 460–380 BC) built his
medical practice, since it is with him that medicine underwent a sea change from medicine
treating mainly wounds (that is, external injuries) to medicine attending to a human being as
a whole, medicine that could listen and form a relationship based on trust, observe the symptoms
of an internal disorder, and form predictions for which it bore responsibility. Ethical
principles drafted by Hippocrates rest on the assumption that all diseases have natural causes,
since a human being is at one with the universe and abides by the same laws. It is with the
doctor to uncover the causes, and these are only to be obtained through trust and unbiased
attitude towards the patient to which multiple descriptions of successful treatment of women
and slaves bear sufficient witness. Advances made in hippocratean gynaecology are striking,
taking into account the absence of any diagnostic means except for palpation, to say nothing
of the despicable attitudes to a woman having to reveal her condition to a doctor, which very
often led to deaths through negligence. Thus, in the times when medicine is more than ever a
for-profit enterprise or else deemed to be a trade one can enter without any formal training,
the author wants us to recall Hippocrates and the point he made of responsibility of one human
being to another.

dc.description.abstract

In the parodos of the Choephori by Aeschylus the chorus sings of a nightmare that made Clytemnestra
send libations to the grave of Agamemnon in a vain attempt to pacify his wrath and
escape vengeance. The subject of Cho. 32–36 is described as ὀρθόθριξ δόμων ὀνειρόμαντις,
but the identity of the ὀνειρόμαντις is obscure. The text of the passage is not sound, so
various emendations have been attempted which presuppose different interpretations of its
subject. The proposal of F. Blass to delete Φοῖβος in v. 32 seems the most convincing. This
word was probably an interpolation aimed at inserting an explicitly named subject into the
text. However, Φοῖβος is most implausible as a subject, since Apollo has nothing to do with
grim underworld divinities as well as with sending prophetic dreams. Fear would be semantically
suitable, but it is rendered improbable by the words περὶ φόβῳ in v. 35: if inserted into
the text, the noun φόβος would become both a subject and a secondary element of the same
sentence. Several other candidates proposed so far, such as Clytemnestra, φοῖτος, οἶκτος,
are also implausible. The dream of Clytemnestra as a subject suits the context perfectly,
but it could be hardly called “an interpreter of dreams”. Yet Aeschylus is fond of rethinking
the sense of compounds according to their etymological potential. The paper argues that
ὀνειρόμαντις is used in the meaning ‘Dream the prophet’, i.e. ‘prophetic dream’.

value:
In Plato’s Ion, Socrates refers, among Olympus and Orpheus, to Phemius, “the rhapsode of
Ithaca”. The reference seems to be inappropriate. It is meant to support the idea that rhapsodic
declamation, though irrational as an interpretative activity, is to some extent an acquired skill,
in the same way the other artistic forms are. But Phemius of the Odyssey claims (and Plato
was well aware of that) his independence of tradition. “The rhapsode of Ithaca” is drastically
in conflict with what Plato himself understands under rhapsodic art. So why did the need to
mention him arose? The Phemius’ case concludes a series of examples representing inventores
primi, both historic and legendary, of particular arts. It may well be that for rhapsodic declamation
no individual inventor was known, and so Plato borrowed one from Homer. Aware
of the mismatches and firm in his belief that it was Homer who actually invented the art of
poerty (cf. Ar. Poet. 1448b34–7; 60a5–6), he subsequently hints that Phemius is a mere fiction,
just as his own Ion is. It follows that the Phemius example serves to highlight the purely
hypothetic nature of the aesthetic theory proposed in the Dialogue, and thus to disclaim any
possible criticism.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Some unusual details in Socrates’ account of Meroe’s witchcraft (Met. 1. 9–10) can presumably
be explained as hinting at conventional shortcomings of the folktales or magic stories
contemporary to Apuleius. (1) The surprising remark on the impossibility of digging through
the walls of the enchanted houses might point out that popular magic stories about doors being
jammed by witchcraft generally ignore the possibility of alternative exits. (2) The bizarre
outcome of the house being transported to a remote city (the witch has to drop it in front of
the town gate, since there is not enough room for it in the town) must refer to similar stories
in which the transported house ends up amid other houses and the problem of free space is
conventionally glossed over. (3) The oddly absurd picture of the lawyer who continues pleading
in the shape of a ram (thus shattering the narrative illusion) may have been intended as a
pointed criticism of certain magic stories, in which people are transformed into animals without
a plausible link between the animal and its former human personality. The literary game
played with the reader and zest for the self-exposure of literary convention is typical for the
Metamorphoses, and playful hints at the narrative conventions of popular magic motifs would
well conform with Apuleius’ manner of writing.

The present article considers the characteristics of Russian-language mass media in Finland
in comparison with the situation 10–25 years ago. The most significant change that has taken
place concerns the attitude to emigration and to immigrants: the previous exoticism and sense
of adventure has gone, and the topic has now become commonplace. We aim to pinpoint the
differences between the first and the second generation of immigrants and their attitudes to
various sources of information. The article includes a survey of recent research in the sphere
of media use. Particular attention is paid to various current trends in news reporting (relations
between Russia and Finland, the activities of the Russian-speaking minority, political news,
peculiarities of the Finnish way of life, historical parallels). An example is given of a local Russian-
language media outlet. It is further demonstrated that changes in the Russian-language
media concern not only the format, but also the status and content of the reporting. Materials
of interest to the local reader are exemplified. We put forward hypotheses concerning the cyclical
nature of people’s media interest, as well as the new functions of the mass media abroad.
The article also includes brief remarks on the linguistic peculiarities of the new publications.

The article describes the history of the study of Russian commercial advertising at the Department
of stylistics at the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University. It is noted that
the stages of the study correspond to those periods that the field of Russian linguistics went
through. Commercial advertising is taught in different disciplines: courses of Russian language and stylistics, as well as in special courses for students in base departments and for the
“Advertising and marketing” retraining program. Advertising research at our Department is
characterized by polydisciplinarity: it is described in terms of Russian studies and culture of
speech, functional stylistics and linguistics and semiotics, linguistics and ethics, linguistics
conflictology and forensic linguistics. Analysis of Russian language usage in the field of advertising
demonstrates innovations that are deposited in the system of language, and leads to the
thoughtof the formation of a new functional style of advertising in Russian literary language.
And the analysis of various products proves the emergence of institutional advertising discourse
as intentional and thematically unified macrosummation of texts. It is emphasized that
in teaching of the creative aspects of advertising a competence-based approach is important
that is oriented on formation of professional competences in copywriting and its private directions:
naming and sloganistics. The units of analysis of advertising texts correspond to the
units and aspects of the advertising text generation, including genre form. And assignments
are given not only on the observation of different kinds of patterns of polycode creativity, but
also on the creation of texts typical for the advertising industry and their components.

It is shown that media influence on the language is noticeable in the language service subsystems.
On the example of type phraseoscheme “Delo v tom, chto…” the transformation
mechanism of relations within the sentence into relations within the text is considered. Within
the dicteme the reduced main part of the compound sentence “Delo v tom, chto…” performs
the construct function (connector of relations with subordinate), anaphoric (reference to preceding
utterance) and cataphoric function (reference to subordinate part content). Beginning
with the paragraph new dicteme the phrase “Delo v tom, chto…” becomes its formant and
acquires new functions: a) forms dicteme as minimum text unit, just as preposition forms
syntaxeme — the minimal syntax unit; b) provides interdicteme relations; c) fulfills anaphora
function to preceding dicteme and cataphoric function to expanded content of the dicteme
formed by it; d) marks text interpartability. The language status of these phrases is supported
by: a) systemic nature of significant vocabulary involving into service analytical units; b) formation
model (“Delo / sekret / problema / sut' / ideia / vopros / shtuka / beda v tom, chto…”);
c) variability; d) synonymy with other language units; e) isomorphism with other language
levels units. The pragmatic potential of indicated type phraseoscheme consists of addressantand
addressee-centricity: serves text author as rhetorical techniques of actualization and information
amplifier, helps addressee to concentrate attention and contribute to the message
understanding. It is noticed these phraseoschemes widespread in the internet message headlines,
and in traditional media they are interviews characteristic language standard — mark

dc.description.abstract

value:
Extralinguistic factors that influence the development of modern media caused the necessity
to transform the speech that sounds in the air. In the conditions of multichannel practice,
the same message is transmitted by the journalist on several media platforms that requires
knowledge of the basic laws of sounding speech and expressive possibilities of prosody that are
relevant in a specific situation on the air. Speech on the air is considered in conjunction with
extralinguistic factors and specific screen situation that determine the specifics of the modern
media. The proposed typology of the modern media, along with the analysis of the texts on the
air, makes it possible to assess the expressive possibilities of prosody, depending on the type
of speech and genre features of journalistic materials and to formulate practical recommendations
for voicing the media texts. The example of monologic speech shows how the prosodic
characteristics of a journalist’s speech change in the conditions of a specific media communication,
what methods of sounding speech are most effective for transmitting information and
for influencing the audience. The analysis of the best journalists’ and anchors’ speech allows
us to formulate general recommendations on the design of a sounding speech in media. The
results of the research show how to use the full range of prosodic opportunities for the most
effective media communication.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article reviews statements with generic semantics or generalizing statements, identifies
their structural and semantic features and their potential in mass media discourse. Disconnection
from a specific referent and non-temporality should be deemed to be specific of
structural and semantic constructions of phrases with generalizing meaning. These features
determine how generalizing statements function and how they affect the recipient of information.
Generalizing statements are studied in view of the category of authoritativeness — one
of the major communicative categories. The article emphasizes that the authoritativeness of
generalizing statements is backed up by background linguistic knowledge of linguistic society
representatives. The native speaker gets used to perceiving phrases with generalizing meaning
(proverbs, aphorisms, maxims) as a linguistic shell containing universal judgments applicable
to a number of single-type situations and therefore true. The very linguistic form, which
implicitly affects the message recipient’s consciousness and shapes the fideistic perception of
information inherent in generalizing statements, becomes authoritative. It can be the basis for
manipulation, because a construction patterned after a generalizing statement can sometimes
have inaccurate and even deliberately false content inconsistent with reality. Therefore, by using
generalizing statements the author can create a distorted world view.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The relationship between media and terrorism changed dramatically after September 11. The
two entered a “symbiotic” relationship and now help each other reach mass audiences. Various
media outlets publish dozens of reports about terrorism daily. Terrorism is a systemic
phenomenon. Depending on what kinds of violence are considered systemic, the definition
of terrorism fluctuates. English-language media seem to agree that September 11, the Boston
Marathon bombing and bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester are all acts
of terror. But what about a bombing in Mosul by the US troops, in which over a hundred
Afghan civilians died? Why has a stabbing in Hamburg, perpetrated by a Muslim man, been
called a terrorist attack while the Portland stabbing perpetrated by a white American has not.
Are mass shootings in the US systemic? The definition of terrorism is contextual, and media
with different political orientations have different definitions of this phenomenon. This study examines the language used by Fox News, CNN and Al Jazeera in their reports on terrorism.
In regards to terrorism, the language of media is conservative and cautious. The word terror
is mostly used to describe violent offenses in which white people fall victims of Muslim folks
which furthers Islamophobia in the US and ignores other forms of systemic violence.

dc.description.abstract

value: This case studies a question of allocating responsibilities for balance sheet risk management between bank divisions. Taking deposits and lending credits to its clients, сommercial banks face various types of risks caused by asymmetric resources. Abilities to apply transfer pricing correctly plays an important role in successful control and risk management, in balanced work of bank divisions and financial results improvement. The case is based on practical experience of a high-street Russian commercial bank and replicates discussion between bank managers at the bank Asset and Liability Committee meeting (ALCO). An important focus of this discussion is application of funds transfer pricing (FTP) system in managing divisions. Raised conflict between divisional interests and goals of Treasury is widely described in the case study. Сase study analysis sets the following objectives: to demonstrate place and role of funds transfer pricing system in bank management process, consider various options of FTP system implementation, analyze their advantages and disadvantages, show the particular importance of this system in managing bank’s balance risks, understand the high-street bank organizational structure and the mechanism of interaction between its units. Currently, this case study is used in teaching the course “Banking Management” and it is recommended for students of undergraduate and graduate programs. Students got an opportunity to analyze advantages and disadvantages of the new system offered in case, complexity and interrelationships of interests of various bank structural divisions in managing process and to understand the complex process of introducing changes in a high-street commercial bank. The case study enables students to understand how to use transfer pricing system to balance resources between departments, how to recognize and manage balance sheet risks.

dc.description.abstract

value: Based on the resource-based view of the firm, the paper introduces the conceptual analysis of the interrelationships between the key internal strategic resources of a firm: human resource management systems, human capital and knowledge. The considered resources were mainly analyzed by the previous research within the separate disciplinary domains and therefore may benefit from cross-domain integration. We build the conceptual scheme of interrelationships between strategic resources and discuss how these interrelationships may vary under different knowledge management (codification/personalization) and human resource management (control/commitment) strategies. Based on the analysis, we introduce four different configurations of strategies: “codification — control”, “personalization — commitment”, “codification — commitment”, and “personalization — control” and anticipate potential benefits of complementary configurations. The contribution of the study to the scholarship is in the conceptual explanation of the previous research findings on positive effects of complementary strategies and negative effects of conflicting strategies. In terms of practical implications, the paper provides analytical framework that can be used as a tool in a company’s strategizing process. The study highlights the importance of achieving complementarity between a company’s knowledge management and human resource management strategies as a way of avoiding dysfunctional organizational behavior.

dc.description.abstract

value: Russian book market is one of the largest in the world in terms of new titles in print. However, this market is underexplored. There is no research dealing with an empirical demand or supply function estimation for this market. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the book demand function and to check whether this kind of demand is price and income elastic. On the basis of results retrieved, managerial recommendations are to be offered. For this purpose, the demand function for books is built and estimated both on the total sample and for particular literature genres. The peculiarity of the demand model estimation is the introduction in the model covariates indicating the book content quality such as the amount of people who gave rating on the website, average rating of the book from the website and the combined effect of these two variables. An empirical estimation of these factors influence has not been considered in the previous research yet. Model estimation was based on the data of one North-Western Federal District book retail chain. According to the estimation results, book demand is price inelastic; moreover, books are estimated to be luxury goods. The analysis of demand functions for separate genres suggests that the demand for each genre is price-insensitive. Only Russian and foreign prose, foreign fiction and poetry are luxury goods among all the genres analyzed. A foreign detective, Russian fiction and sentimental novel are normal goods, whereas Russian detective is an inferior goods. The results of the research might be of a particular interest for books retail chains and publishers.

dc.description.abstract

value: Although public private partnership (PPP) contract has been the subject of numerous debates and controversies, governments across the globe have increasingly used PPP to modernise public services. This study attempts to examine the attractiveness of the PPP policy, by analysing the interests of the government, private sector, and users in the field of UK school PPP contracts. Bourdieu’s analytical concepts of habitus, capitals and field are used to analyse interests in PPP and shed light on the insidious power relations in PPP processes. Interviews were conducted with public and private sector respondents familiar with UK school PPP contracts, to understand their interests. The field of PPP is animated with players and interests. Players use their positions and predispositions (or habitus) and their economic, social and symbolic capitals to generate strategies consistent with their interests in the success of PPP. PPP is particularly attractive to governments that are faced with increasing demands to keep public debt under control, whilst at the same time improve public services. It is argued that the value for money and efficiency arguments (doxa) used to justify PPP mask a number of interests and the governments’ neoliberal ideology, which are not readily apparent in policy documents. The PPP policy, through conferring symbolic power to the private sector, has reconfigured power relationships in the field. This study provides a scholarly analysis of the interests at stake in the field of the UK government’s school PPP programme by using Bourdieu’s theory of practice. At the practical level, this study explains the popularity of the PPP policy by unmasking interests which are not easily captured in the government’s value for money discourse.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article discusses the results of a continuous study of Russian domestic air carriers conducted in 2006–2016 and analyzes the main barriers to entry into the passenger air travel market and their impact on competition in this field. There are significant structural barriers that prevent companies from entering this market. This situation challenges the existing concept and the idea of the domestic air transportation market as a quasi-competitive one. To describe the structure of the Russian passenger air transport market, we introduce the notion of “discrete competition,” reflecting shifted density of market concentration towards small regional airlines. The latter are usually united by ownership mechanisms or affiliation with an airport. They possess considerable market power, but at the same time have an insignificant market share in the overall Russian passenger air market. Administrative barriers also play a crucial role in restraining competition. Furthermore, current institutional conditions are favourable for vertical ‘airport — airline’ integration which results in a fundamental transformation, as described by Williamson, and can be detrimental to competition. As our research findings have shown, there is a trade-off between existing vertically integrated structures in the air passenger market and public welfare.

dc.description.abstract

value: While many studies look at the impact of trade on the supply side, notably through its impact on international vertical specialization and global supply chains, fewer papers examine how import penetration affects aggregate demand. The increased import intensity of aggregate demand has been a feature of the globalization process until the 2008–2009 financial crisis. Since then, the import / trade intensity of some aggregate demand components seems to have behaved differently. Using input / output tables for almost forty countries accounting for the bulk of global trade, this paper calculates the import intensity of aggregate demand over the period 1995–2014. The most pro-cyclical components of aggregate demand, i.e. investment, exports, and private consumption, are also found to be most import intensive; net government expenditures are less so. The most import intensive demand component of all is investment, which globally has an import content of 37 %. Unsurprisingly, investment is the only aggregate demand component that, by 2014, had not recovered to its pre-crisis level, a reason that might explain the relative slowdown of trade since the end of the financial crisis, for any given level of import intensity. Further, import intensity of investment seemed to have leveled off, if not fallen, in some emerging market economies. While the phenomenon is not long enough to be examined in detail, this is a change which might affect the pace of trade globalization.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The role of e-commerce in the economic growth is constantly increasing; its development though depends on some limiting and driving factors. This paper investigates limiting and driving factors that influence e-commerce market development in Russia from the consumer perspective. To identify limiting and driving factors of the Russian e-commerce market development from the consumer perspective in Russia, a quantitative survey is applied. A new scale that includes 44 indicators to describe online shopping barriers and drivers has been developed.
The total sample of 884 respondents is composed of consumers who are experienced in buying goods or services via internet. Exploratory factor analysis and K-means clustering analysis are applied to analyze the obtained data. The findings reveal the structure of driving and limiting factors, highlighting the core role of the trustworthiness and transparency of e-commerce market players, security risks and privacy concerns, reputation of the online store, consumer trust and online shopping infrastructure. Cluster analysis identifi ed three main clusters: (1) consumers who appreciate benefits of making internet purchases, (2) consumers buying from abroad, and (3) cautious consumers with low level of trust. The findings from this study make several contributions to a growing body of literature on e-commerce. Firstly, the drivers and barriers of the e-commerce market development from the consumer and Russian market perspectives are revealed. Secondly, this is the study to compensate the lack of empirical research describing the barriers and drivers of the e-commerce market in Russia. Thirdly, this research extends our knowledge of the Russian e-commerce market and may serve as a base for future studies in this field.

dc.description.abstract

value: Value chain includes many participants whose main objectives are to maximize their own profit. However, the maximum of the whole value chain is not always achieved. Moreover, members may distort true earnings in order to increase their revenue part. There appears a need in contract revision to diminish the risk of opportunistic behavior. The paper aims to improve and test the incentive income imputation procedure based on specific revenue-sharing contracts which coordinate film value chain. The coordination concept of supply chain has been modified and applied to the motion picture industry. The suggested approach introduces transfer prices to the members of the chain and allows the transformation of counteragents’ participation contracts to sharing contracts. This innovation proves chain members’ motivation to maximize the total gain of the chain since the transfer price is constructed on the basis of the costs of the members and their shares in the final allocation of revenues. The developed approach can support decision-making in efficiency improvement at the stage of film value chain establishment. It gives the mathematically justified solutions which can serve as a starting point during contract negotiations between members of the film value chain. The approach has been tested on the case studies from the USA motion picture industry and the applicability of coordinating contracts is demonstrated.

dc.description.abstract

value: In the post-Soviet period, the Russian economy has faced three market-type crises (1998, 2008–2009, 2014–2016). Even though impulses moving the economy out of equilibrium were external, mechanisms for the diffusion of these impulses from the financial system into real sector were specific to Russia. This paper explores consistent relations of events that brought about these economic crashes. All three cyclical crises in the Russian economy followed the same chain of events. Recession began with a decline in oil prices, which then provoked a deep and sharp ruble devaluation, the scale of which was determined by speculation by commercial banks. To stabilize the ruble exchange rate, the Central Bank increased interest rates and squeezed the liquidity of the banking sector. This raised the cost of credits, such that companies of real sector had to borrow less, transforming the financial shock transformed into an economic crisis. This paper reveals the scheme of links and chains of events that transformed external shocks into full-fledged recessions, and all processes in Russia’s economy during these three cyclical crises of post-Soviet development followed the same scheme.

dc.description.abstract

value: Models of dynamic stochastic general economic equilibrium (DSGE) are based on preferences and technologies. However, the behavior of the state is usually described using exogenous instrumental rules. In the face of significant changes in external conditions, such an approach can poorly predict the behavior of the state and, as a consequence, the economy. A DSGE model of Russia is developed, with the state conducting optimal policy for given purposes, along with a version in which the state follows instrumental rules. Parameters of the models were estimated by the maximum likelihood method and Bayesian inference (with a non-informative a priori distribution). The classical approach has affinity for the version with the optimal policy, and the Bayesian approach for the instrumental rules. The goals of the economic policy pursued in Russia are identified. In particular, the fight against inflation has low priority, and the stability of budget revenues has the highest priority. Estimates of a number of key parameters differ significantly for the two versions of the DSGE model, i.e. the type of state description significantly affects how the model of the rest of the economy should behave in order to comply with statistical data. At the same time, both versions of the model give almost the same quality of forecasts.

dc.description.abstract

value: The paper deals with particle dynamics in a Penning trap with a rotating electric dipole ﬁeld and a buﬀer gas. Electromagnetic traps are widely used for the accumulation and storage of charged particles of matter and antimatter for further use in various experiments. In this paper, a general analytical criterion is established, which must satisfy the parameters of the type of trap under investigation in order to provide compression or expansion modes of the trajectory beam. These modes correspond to the cases of asymptotic stability or instability of the system under study. The most eﬀective combinations of parameters were determined, providing the maximum possible degree of stability (or, accordingly, instability) of the system with the minimum possible amplitudes of the rotating electric ﬁeld. Analytical solutions are constructed for the rapid calculation and analysis of the behavior of individual particles or envelopes of an ellipsoidal beam of trajectories and an estimate of the radius of the accumulated cloud. The proposed approach is applicable to the analysis of the system for any values of the parameters of the studied model of particle dynamics in a trap.

value: The article is devoted to the analysis of the change in the economic activity of the population of St. Petersburg from the point of view of its employment in recent years. The purpose of the study was to identify changes in employment of the economically active population of St. Petersburg under conditions of digitalization in order to determine the dynamic processes and their consequences for the city's economy. As a confirmed trend, a priority of the fact of distribution of products of the digital economy is accepted. The hypothesis of the study, according to which the digital revolution 4.0 is not employment, and the economic activity of the population of a large city changes as a result of other factors, such as population ageing and a reduction in the share of young professionals with higher education. The study was carried out on the basis of an analysis of the main indicators related to the employment of the inhabitants of the megalopolis. Its result was the confirmation of the hypothesis, namely, that the digital revolution did not change both the employment itself and the attitude to it from the economically active part of the population of St. Petersburg. The main conclusion of the study: at a relatively high economic activity of the population at the present time, the situation may change in the coming years under the influence of the spread of digital economy products, since ageing indicators of the working age population increase while reducing the proportion of young people in the economically active population of the city. The results of the research are of practical importance, and its conclusions can be used for the subsequent monitoring of the economic activity of the inhabitants of St. Petersburg and for the preparation of measures to overcome possible negative trends.

dc.description.abstract

value: The paper deals with assessing sustainability of the market leadership of a large company in the selected industry. Factors, the joint action of which results in sustainable market leadership of the company over time, were identified. Using these factors together, management can create a management concept of sustainable market leadership for a large company in any industry and keep it up to date throughout the life cycle of the company. The confluence of factors includes three necessary blocks: factors that are distinctive for sustainable companies, factors that are distinctive for innovative companies and factors that determine the accuracy of the development, implementation and monitoring of the implementation of the concept by sustainable development management. A method for assessing sustainability of company’s market leadership was proposed. The threshold requirement of company’s market leadership in the industry was determined. It was proved that to ensure market leadership, it is not necessary to achieve 100% compliance with the best global companies. It is sufficient to achieve the sustainability level of market leadership not lower than that one of benchmark companies in the industry — the threshold requirement of the industry. The method was tested through application to one of the leading air transport companies — Moscow Domodedovo Airport. The total research period was 15 years. It was proved that when the value of the indicator of market leadership sustainability decreases below the threshold for the industry, it leads to a decline in market positions of a particular company. Also, as a result of additional verification, it was found that a decrease in the value of the indicator of market leadership sustainability results in a decrease in the level of service quality provided by companies. Consequently, the indicator of market leadership sustainability may point to the company’s ability to reach leading market positions and achieve other goals of a various nature. The elaborated method can be useful for improving company’s competitiveness and achieving a leading position in the industry.

dc.description.abstract

value: In 1921, drought and then famine swept the territory of 23 provinces of Soviet Russia with a population of 32 million. In order to concentrate the resources necessary for the purchase of food in the West, at the end of 1921, the Council of People’s Commissars of the RSFSR ordered Moscow to concentrate gold, platinum, silver (in bars and products from them), precious stones, pearls, and currency. confiscated by state bodies from their previous owners and have since been stored in warehouses in different parts of the country. In parallel, in the first half of 1922, a campaign was unfolding to remove the most valuable part of religious property (nationalized and handed over to registered groups of believers since 1918) from existing religious buildings of various denominations, as well as excavation of some high-value museum pieces, however no historical or artistic value. The collected material values were planned to be sold on the foreign market in the future. The confiscation activities of the authorities were accompanied by a powerful campaign campaigning to the population of the country and the world community, with calls for voluntary donations from ordinary citizens and the provision of humanitarian assistance from foreign trade union and charitable organizations. Along with religious associations (including foreign ones), scientists and culture workers from many countries of the world took an active part in saving the starving population. The old Russian intelligentsia has also contributed in various forms and forms. An outstanding anthropologist, archeologist and ethnographer, head of the Museum of the Stroganov School (Moscow), Daniel Timofeevich Yanovich addressed the leadership of the relevant department of the People’s Commissariat for Education of the RSFSR with the initiative to organize a paid ethnographic exhibition with the subsequent transfer of the collected funds to the fund of assistance to regions in distress. The following documents help us understand the details of the author’s intention. Archival publication is preceded by a detailed biographical note on D. T. Yanovich (27.07.1879-18.01.1940) and is accompanied by detailed comments on the text of his letter.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article analyzes the formation and evolution of the concept of the State Museum Fund. It appeared after the events of October 1917 during the construction of a new system of state regulation of museum practice. After the October Revolution, the Bolshevik government nationalized the tsar's palaces, part of public and private collections, museums, as well as the property of church. This huge complex of nationalized objects was defined as the State Museum Fund. There were several stages in the development of the concept of the State Museum Fund. The first stage (1918 - late 1920's) is associated with the emergence of the concept in the state cultural policy. In 1918-1919 the development of the concept was carried out simultaneously on several levels: the state level (Moscow Declaration), legislative level (project of Decree on the establishment of a unified State Museum Fund) and academic level (museological works of F. Schmit). During the second stage (1930's - early 1960's), the new forms of the state control and organization of museum collections were established. The third stage (mid 1960's - mid 1990's) is characterized by the approval of the concept at the legislative level. In 1965 the first Regulation on the Museum Fund of the USSR was adopted. The development of the museological knowledge and the improvement of the organization of the museum work led to a clarification of the definition of the Museum Fund of the USSR in the late 1980's. A new phase of the development of the concept began in the 1990's. The concept of a unified State Museum Fund remained in the museum policy of the states that formed after the collapse of the USSR. In the mid-1990's in Belarussia, Russia and Ukraine, legislation was adopted in the field of museum affairs, which reinforced the new legal definitions of the concept under consideration. At the same time, studies of the conceptual foundations of the unified State Museum Fund are practically absent.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article focuses on the processes of forming collections of Chinese art in the Soviet Union, in particular, Chinese painting. The data on the first arrivals of traditional Chinese painting in major museums in the Soviet era are given. The attention is focused on the fact that the first works of Chinese painting received by these museums were the painting “flowers and birds”. A quantitative characteristic of Chinese painting “flowers and birds” in relation to the collections of Chinese painting in major museums of the Soviet Union is given. The first systematic attempts to explore Chinese traditional painting as a holistic phenomenon relating to the Soviet period and related primarily to the work of museum staff are highlighted. In the same period, systematic ideas about Chinese traditional painting in Soviet art history are formed. On the basis of the corpus of Soviet scientific publications on Chinese art and Chinese traditional painting, an analysis is made of the study of Chinese traditional painting “flowers and birds” in the works of art of Soviet scholars, and its categorical definition. Special attention is paid to the important role in the development of scientific discourse and wide public interest in Chinese traditional painting in general, exhibitions of Chinese art held in museum spaces. The most significant exhibitions of Chinese art of the Soviet period, brought from China, at which traditional Chinese painting was presented, were held in 1934, 1940, 1950, 1957 and formed the space of artistic communication. Analysis of the processes of formation of Chinese collections of painting, exhibition activities, artistic communication (professional and mass) allows us to conclude about the formation after the 1950s of a special understanding of Chinese traditional painting, which later became widely used in the works of Soviet art historians.

dc.description.abstract

value: The history of Soviet Byelorussian museums during the Great Patriotic War is a little-studied page of the history of the national museum sphere and culture in general. The author is consistently examining the evacuation of museum collections from the eastern part of the republic, the Nazi robbery of the remaining collections of Belarusian museums in the occupied territory, attempts to save them by representatives of the Belarusian intelligentsia, as well as the return of the evacuated and plundered from the East and the West. Particular attention is paid to the difficulties of the collections evacuation from the Vitebsk and Gomel regional museums to the territory of the Russian Soviet Socialist Federation, as well as the courage shown by museum workers during the transportation of valuable items. The robbery of museum collections carried out on the territory of the occupied Soviet Belarus by representatives of the Ministry of the Occupied Eastern Territories under the leadership of A. Rosenberg was complemented by the policy of flirting with the national intelligentsia conducted by the head of the General Commissariat of Belarus, Gauleiter W. Kube. The result of this policy was the opening of several museums and exhibitions in Minsk and on the periphery. A separate dramatic page in the history of the museum of Soviet Belarus is the export in 1944 of the collection of the Belarusian State Museum to Germany, its discovery there by American troops and the subsequent transfer and return to the territory of the USSR by the Soviet military administration in Germany. The fate of the Belarusian Museum in Vilna created by the famous Belarusian national figure I. Lutskevich in 1912 was dramatic as well. In 1945 his collections were divided between a number of Belarusian and Lithuanian museum, archival and library institutions. The Belarusian Republican Commission for Assisting the Work of the Extraordinary State Commission dealt with the determination of the damage caused to the Belarusian museums during the hostilities and the German occupation. The article is based on the materials of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus, periodicals of the war years, as well as published memoirs and interviews with participants in the events described.

dc.description.abstract

value: 140 years ago, the Higher Women’s Courses with a university teaching program were established in St. Petersburg. The Courses functioned successfully for 40 years until they were merged into the Petrograd University in 1919. A number of former students of the St. Petersburg (Petrograd) Higher Women’s (Bestuzhev) Courses dedicated their lives to creation of memorial museums of Russian writers after they graduated from the “first women’s university” in pre-revolutionary Russia. Among them were Nina Mikhailovna Chernyshevskaya (1896-1975), Sofya Vladimirovna Korolenko (1886-1957), Vera Sergeyevna Lyubimova (Dorovatovskaya) (1888-1955), Nina Nikolayevna Greene (1894-1970), Margarita Fedorovna Nikolaeva (1873-1957). In the process of the establishment of the museums they gathered collections, writings and biographies of Nikolai Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky, Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko, Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, Alexander Stepanovich Grin (Grinevsky) and Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov. The majority of the graduates of the Courses (so-called bestuzhevki) were relatives of the writers, poets and public figures; others were very passionate about the work of the authors. The former bestuzhevki were mainly museum enthusiasts: they did not have a special education and often supported each other in their endeavors. Over time, becoming highly professional specialists in the museum field, they had their followers and students. The memorial museums of writers were the places where life of the creative intelligentsia flourished. The main period of the activities of the graduates of the Bestuzhev Courses fell at a difficult period in the development of museum business, and the greater is their contribution to Soviet museum construction in the 1920s-1950s. It is necessary to take into account the part that the former bestuzhevki took in the preservation of museum collections during the Great Patriotic War. The women considered in the article played a key role in the perpetuation of the memory and literary heritage of great Russian writers. The article is based on archival and little-known published memoirs of the former bestuzhevki.

dc.description.abstract

value: Located in the northeast of Germany and once inhabited by the Slavs, Mecklenburg-Schwerin enjoys more than a thousand-year history. The collection of the Schwerin Museum was formed from a collection of Dutch paintings, collected by Christian Ludwig II of Mecklenburg, who lived in the 18th century. Over time, the collection expanded. Now in its funds are stored such masterpieces, as works of Rembrandt, Rubens, Brueghel the Elder. The twentieth century is represented by the works of Picasso, Lieberman, Duchamp. In the Engraving Room - a collection of engravings from Durer to Nolde. Department of arts and crafts stores a collection of weapons, porcelain, coins and medals. Schwerin coin (numismatic) cabinet is a part of the State Museum of Schwerin. It is located in the historic part of the city. The collection of the Cabinet includes 30 000 coins and medals, cover a vast historical period, beginning with the Middle Ages (from the 10th century) and up to the present day. Most of the museum items in this collection were made in Mecklenburg. The numismatic cabinet has a collection of German and European coins, Mecklenburg marks and letters with extremely rare postmarks of the 18th and 19th centuries. Coins and medals are an important historical source, can serve as a basis for solving a number of problems of historical chronology: they are an excellent material for establishing (specifying) dating. Numismatic collections allow you to reconstruct important aspects of political, economic and cultural life in the Middle Ages, as well as in the era of early modern times. The article introduces the history of Mecklenburg, and also offers a characterization of the Schwerin numismatic cabinet. The text of the article uses selected samples of coins and medals from the collection, which illustrate important historical events.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article is devoted to analysis of the photo archive of the Russian ethnographer A. B. Vasil’ev, collecting in the composition of the Tunguska expeditions 1927-1928 materials on the culture of the Orochi, Tungus, Nivkh of the Amur and Sakhalin, to fix its features on photos that are stored in the scientific archive of the Museum of anthropology and Ethnography of RAS (Kunstkamera). The article introduces for the first time the scientific circulation of archival sources: the photos of the Vassiliev, made in the places of residence of the Orochi in the basin of the river Tumnin. The photos depict Oroch settlements and dwellings, especially life, economy, occupations, beliefs and holidays, shows the degree of cultural influence on the Orochi of Russian immigrants. B. A. Vasiliev not only collected field material about the beliefs, cults and holidays of the Orochi, but in his articles, in the manuscript of his thesis, drew ethnic and cultural parallels with similar views and rituals of other peoples of the Lower Amur, Sakhalin, the Far East, Siberia, East Asia, North America. The scientist made a thorough comparative analysis of the bear festival of the Orochi, for the first time in the history of science developed the concept of the existence of two of its variants: the more ancient, after the extraction of the beast in the fishery, characteristic of the entire Eurasian-American cultural layer and the later associated with the cultivation of the beast in captivity and the subsequent festive ritual. In conclusion, the article concludes that the Oroch photographs of the Tunguska expedition of 1927-1928 are the most valuable sources for the culture of one of the Tungus-Manchurian peoples of The lower Amur, which currently differ significantly from their ethnic appearance of the first third of the 20th century.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article is devoted to the analysis of Soviet everyday life culture in the expositions of St. Petersburg’s historical museums. The problem of demonstration of the culture of everyday life in museum has almost not been considered in museology, so the topic of the article is of immediate interest. The main aim of the article is to determine the basic principles of exhibiting museum items related to the everyday life of a Soviet citizen coming from various cultural and historical contexts of the twentieth century. A significant problem for this study is the search for theoretical approaches to the representation of everyday life in the modern museum space in Russia. The main part of the research is the analysis of the expositions of the State Museum of History of St. Petersburg in the Rumyantsev Mansion (“NEP: The Image of the City and Man”, “From Weekdays to Holidays - Urban Sketches from the 1930s”), the State Museum of Political History of Russia (“The Soviet era: between utopia and reality”) that demonstrate various phenomena of everyday-life of Soviet society using various methods of exposing. As a result of the study, it became clear that the representation of the culture of Soviet everyday life in Saint-Petersburg’s museums is carried out on the basis of museum reconstruction of certain significant phenomena in their relation to the socio-cultural or historical-political context. In addition, in the course of the study, the main methods of constructing expositions were revealed: it turned out that the so-called “mixed” method based on the principle of combining background secondary materials that reproduce authentic documents and images with objects of everyday life and other material objects is often used to represent the culture of everyday life.

Artistic metal Buryat is a classic of folk art, being the pinnacle of the creative daring of the people. The main features of applied art, artistic design of various things and objects of Buryat have long been determined by the needs of a nomadic life that dictated a certain type of collapsible and portable dwelling and its decoration, the character of household utensils and furniture, the shape of a suit suitable for hard living conditions in steppe nomadic surroundings, and also features of representations about beauty and riches. A big role is given to the pattern, after which one of the leading places in the decorative art of the Buryats is rightfully fixed. Buryat folk art, being based on a pattern, has a predominantly ornamental direction. The main stylistic features of Buryat folk art are very persistent, preserving for many decades and even centuries their specific features. The collection of silver jewelry of Khorinsky District Museum of Local History, a was formed from various sources. The key ones were: targeted purchases. A small part of the museum collection items were accepted as a gifts. In the process of acquisition, the museum collection was replenished with interesting specimens of women's and men's jewelry.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article explores the subject of European architecture and sculpture of Middle Ages and early modern times as an object of cultural and educational tourism and sightseeing. The sacred shrines of two cities in Central Europe - Prague and Budapest - are in the center of our attention. We also consider Tallinn as the eastern outpost of Western European Christian culture. Monuments of architecture and sculpture are an important part of cultural and educational tourism and constitute objects of cultural heritage that combine the historical, cultural and traditional features of the people living in the country. Christian sculpture is presented primarily in cathedrals and churches. However, already during the Gothic period, it appeared frequently on the squares and streets of medieval cities. This aspect is considered not only in the religious, but also in the historical, general cultural contexts. Most of the medieval temples are available to the public thanks to the soft museumification. Among the Christian churches, the Niguliste church in Tallinn occupies a special place: a former Catholic church, then a Lutheran church, now turned to a museum and concert hall. The Niguliste Museum is one of the five branches of the Estonian Art Museum - the historical and art museum of religious art. In the exhibition, you can see the ancient coats of arms and candleholders, woodcarving and a collection of precious metals, altars and luxurious gravestones. The choice of the monuments of Christian architecture and sculpture considered is the authors’ subjective choice made by visiting the three European capitals. At the same time, the introduction of cultural and educational tourism facilities accurately reflects the historical panorama of Prague, Budapest and Tallinn.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article is devoted to the problem of implementing the idea of theatricalization of the museum space in the Smolensk region, as the revival of the traditions set by Princess Maria Klavdievna Tenisheva. The focus of the article is on the activities of Smolensk actors Lyudmila Stepanovna Lisyukova and Nikolai Sergeyevich Konshin who updated, reinterpreted and reconsidered the information in the museum and the museum itself through artistic, decorative, dramatic, theatrical, artistic means. They made a huge contribution to the theatricalization of museums not only in the Smolensk region, but also throughout Russia. The first time their theatrical performances were held in the house-museum of Dostoevsky in Staraya Russa. It was the one-man show “Nobody else would give me so much happiness.” The use of museum theatricalization immeasurably expands the communicative potential of a modern museum. The subject of “interrelationships” between the museum and the theater (both in the theoretical and in the practical aspect), has an interdisciplinary character and is not well studied, although remains very interesting. Museum pedagogy is an innovative technology in the field of children education. It creates the conditions for immersion of the individual in a specially organized environment. The museum and children’s theater groups in this case act as partners in solving problems related to children’s upbringing and education. In the museum-pedagogical practice of Smolensk museums a special place is occupied by the children’s Theater of Books, organized by Lyudmila Stepanovna Lisyukova. This children’s theater group was the first to “master” the museum sites of the Smolensk region. The organization of the theater festival and competition “WISE OWNL” is a logical step in the development of museum theatricalization.
