dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper singles out and analyses the propositions of Chicherin’s philosophy of history which show
the scholar’s understanding of the phenomenon of revolution and the socialist doctrine. Formulated
and substantiated is the idea that revolution is interpreted philosophically as a negative means of the
objectification of historical development, which violates the natural course of history, casting a society
back, condemning it to a painful torment and irreplaceable sacrifice. This work expands understanding
of revolution as the extremely dangerous manifestations of social radicals. It analyzes the criticism
Checherin’s basic theoretical propositions of socialist doctrine for which the idea of revolution was one
of the main ideas. It shows, as the philosopher noted, the deformation by socialist theoreticians of the
liberal-humanist principle of freedom of the individual and society, the distortion of the idea of independence
of civil society from the state, the failure of the economic theory of socialism. The paper also
emphasizes the version of the peculiarities of forming revolutionary forces and the major manifestation
of social radicalism in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. These features are emphasized
as being connected with motivating the necessity of social-political reforms to achieve social stability. The author gives proof of the point that Chicherin’s ideas have universal constructive meaning
to the extent that they accentuate criticism of revolution and socialism and the necessity of preventing
revolutionary and radical sentiment and activity as an important condition for maintaining the
integrity of the social system. This thinker’s theoretical constructs are of undoubted benefit to the
modern domestic philosophy of science, social and political practice. The article highlights aspects
Chicherin’s theory which determined his personal experience and ideological positions. Refs 13.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is about one of the vital problem for analytic philosophy which is how to define truth
value for sentences which include their own truth predicate. The aim of the article is to determine
Saul Kripke’s approach to widen epistemological truth to create a systemic model of truth. Despite a
lot of work on the subject, the theme of truth is no less relevant to modern philosophy. With the help
of S. Kripke’s article “Outline of the Theory of Truth” and R. L. Kirkham’s work “Theories of Truth:
A Critical Introduction” the author tried to represent a non-classical approach which is now known
as Saul Kripke’s truth value gaps theory. Considering his solving of the Liar Paradox, as well as the
Strenghened Liar, it is obvious that there could be the circumstances (or facts) that make sentences
have no truth value. In that case the solving of the paradox attracts Kleene’s non-classical three-valued
logic which contains the third way and the solution falls into the gap between truth and falsity. Hence
there are no relevant and full satisfactory ways to solve the Liar’s Paradox by the language-levels approach.
The task consists in an extension of the approach to natural languages and elimination of an
ad hoc element as well. Besides that, the language-levels approach refers to the speaker that means that
only the last one is allowed to define the hierarchy of the levels and truth value of sentence, but often
he does not know what level he is speaking of. As Kripke stated, contingent facts can lead to a paradox
which isn’t allowed for a logical point of view. However usage of mathematical apparatus allows the theory in question to be universalized and moreover paves the way to futher epistemological development
of the problem in question. As Kripke’s theory is formalized and presented as a functional series,
it gives access to a system model of truth whose elements would be epistemological theories (concepts)
of truth. Such a model, for instance, confirms the validity of the deflationary concept of truth. Refs 7.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is devoted to the academic work of clergymen in the Russian empire in the second half of
the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The author proves that until the middle of the 19th century
it should be spoken with a great caution that there was a Russian theology, as well as of individual
clergymen’s scientific studies, despite the fact, there were certain talented researchers. Nevertheless, it
is in the first half of the 19th century when there were changes both in secular science and theology that
made real a scientific resurgence that had started in the Age of Great Reforms.
These innovations wouldn’t have been possible without changes in Higher and Secondary
education of clergymen. A very important step in integration of education was permission for students
of Russian spiritual academies to continue their education abroad. The author considers that this
provided for the development of national Biblical studies. Another important factor, that made clergy’s
academic studies more intensive was an increase in the number of scientific periodicals.
The third factor that enabled the academic work of clergymen in the Russian empire in the
second half of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th centuries, was an increase in the number of scientific
societies in which scholars could take part. The greater part of clerics’ writings were published as the
labours of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society which had many regional departments. The
intensification of missionary work demanded from clergymen a knowledge of traditional religious
beliefs and syncretistic religious views of the peoples of Siberia, Povolzhye and the Caucasus. The
ethnographical materials, brought by them, are relevant even up to the present time. Refs 19.

The article considers the problem of the origin and development of social attitudes in Russia. The main
methodological aspects of consideration of the history of sociology are presented. The differences in
the understanding of the genetic approach of modern historians of Russian sociology are demonstrated.
The main aim of the paper is the analysis of the concept of “the genesis of sociology”. It noted the
specificity of Western European genesis of sociology. The article presents the views of Russian historians
of sociology on its early origins in Russia. Possible genetic primary sources of sociology in Russia are enumerated. Principal attention is paid to clarifying the views of those Russian thinkers who, in
the modern history of Russian sociology, are attributed to the predecessors of Russian sociology. Those
whom Russian historians of sociology consider to be predecessors of sociology in Russia, their professional
and ideological orientation are presented listed. Criteria are proposed, according to which it
is necessary to determine those who can be recognized as the forerunners of sociology in Russia. It is
suggested that not all of the Russian sociologists, and even those who were familiar with foreign positivist
sociology, referred to as predecessors, should be referred to as sociologists. An indicator of the
genesis of sociology in Russia and the beginning of its institutionalization is the appearance of publications
of works, in the name of which the terms: “sociology” or “sociological” are used. In conclusion,
the methodological and didactic significance of the study of the genesis of sociology in Russia is noted,
and its two main trends are identified. Refs 28.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article demonstrates that the contemporary socio-humanitarian tendency in the study of children
is a field open to interdisciplinary studies of childhood to which sociological studies of childhood can
play special role. The article problematisizes the validity of “division” of childhood researchers on the
subject-object ground into “two camps”: those who claim that the child is the object and those who believe
that the child is the subject of public life. Paper emphasizes that the contemporary understanding
of the child in the texts of L. Alanen, W. A. Corsaro, A. James, A. Prout, V. Zelizer and others draws up
new horizons in the study of childhood that lead one to rethink the position of children in social research.
The paper shows what roles (positions) children are assigned to in socio-humanitarian studies
today and the interpretations of childhood they are based upon. The article points out four main views
on the role of children in studies of childhood presented by P. Christensen and A. Prout. 1. The child
as an object, this approach follows the understanding of children as irresponsible and dependent on
adults. 2. The child as the subject, the approach is based on the recognition of the cognitive abilities of
children and their social competence according to their age. 3. The child as the social actor. According
to this approach, the subjectivity of the child extends to his own understanding and his own experience.
4. The child as a participant or co-researcher based on the representation of children as active
citizens who “must be involved, informed, consulted and heard”. The paper argues that the approaches
should be viewed as coexisting rather than mutually exclusive. Refs. 25.

The paper analyses the reasons behind industrial worker shortages in the conditions of the modernization
of Russian industry and the lack of coordination between education and labor markets. The paper
is based on two empirical research papers related to a determination of the main problems which
appear on the main stages of the industrial workers’ system of education (school — professional educational
institution — industrial enterprise). Objects of the research are the enterprises of the Samara
region aerospace cluster, the institutions of secondary and higher vocational education which prepare
specialists for these companies, and the schools in which career guidance is conducted by these higher
vocational education institutions. Using results of the research the author describes the main reasons
behind the unpopularity of work and high staff turnover among youth at the industrial enterprises:
low wage and lack of professional advancement. The paper assesses career guidance activity in school,
its orientation to receiving higher education and distancing from industrial enterprises. Problems of
professional education institutions and employers’ opinion of the quality of specialists are also analyzed.
The paper offers a system of classification of the vocational education institution graduates, which
come to industrial enterprises. The results of the research indicated the key issues in each element of
the training system ‘school — vocational school — enterprise’. Refs 12. Table 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
As church architecture evolved from the 5th century, monumental Byzantine art marked out several
aspects of icon: the religious, the anthropological, the political, the aesthetic and others. A connection
between the political aspect of the icon (as expressed in the figure of the basileus who represented God
on Earth), the anthropological aspect (any human being in his expression of the likeness of God, according
to Christian dogma), the aesthetic aspect (mosaics of fresco pictures of biblical personages)
became evident by that time. But the correlation of a living creature and its motionless image was
interpreted in different ways during different periods of Byzantine history (divided into periods by the
epoch of the first Ecumenical Councils of the 4th to 5th centuries), the period of the canonical establishment
of icon-painting The ‘Second Iconoclasm’ of the 8th century, the Komnenian dynasty (11–13th
century) and the 14th and 15th century Palaiologian Renaissance. The subject of the article is the versatility of the icon which strived to affirm God’s presence in
the world and sought not only for abstract theological but also for plastic and visual solutions to divine
subjects. The aim of the article is to clarify the phenomenon of the icon as resting upon dogmatic,
anthropological, political and aesthetic principles of such an image.
The article is methodologically corroborated by the art-historical theories (those of Hans
Sedlmayr, Erwin Panofsky and Otto Demus) which explain the transition from the ancient mimesis
to the principle which make the image selfsufficient. The former painting, illusionist mission is now
assigned to architecture which stresses the corporal and material elements of the Divine cosmos. As
the iconpainting canon is established, painting accepts a new principle the spiritualization of the flesh,
the principle of joining of the ideal and the material (which set the ground of the Renaissance).
The author researches this multilateralism which aimed at the statement of God on Earth by
force of not only theological arguments but also by plastic and visual means. The author concludes that
indissoluble aesthetic, religious, and political aspects of the icon make for a specific type of Medieval
figurativeness. Refs 12.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article provides a polemical review of the latest approaches to understanding the specific features
and perspectives of the development of Russian philosophy. First of all, the three main variants
are stressed: 1) neglecting the originality of Russian philosophy and insisting on the necessity to follow
“the Western models” (V. I. Krasikov), in particular, the late medieval mysticism (I. I. Yevlampiev);
2) taking into consideration the principle of “heartiness” rather than logic or rationality (V. V. Varava,
V. P. Fetisov), demanding to rely upon the “Platonic-Philaretian philosophical school” implying “God’s
foolery” and “tongue-tie” (P. V. Kalitin). According to these authors, it is the way that Russian philosophy
should develop to achieve perfection and say “a new word” to the West. However, as it is proved
in the article, the mentioned positions demonstrate the serious crisis of the latest historiography of
Russian thought, its degradation as compared with the works of the previous researchers. Refs 15.

value:
This article compares the radical rejection of metaphysics in the work of Gilles Deleuze with Zen Buddhism.
Tbe author proposes the theses that the rejection of metaphysics opens the new perspective
for the description of reality and new philosophical spaces, and the same radicality of this nihilistic
gesture is necessary as the first moment of a new philosophical synthesis. Principal attention is devoted
to the conceptual apparatus that Deleuze applies to the deconstruction of metaphysics.
The turn of the Western Philosophy to the East is a subject that has not yet received adequate
elaboration. The detailed description of pli in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze does not occur at the
level of a new ontological program. So, we can talk only about the criticism of the metaphysics of the
present and the original gesture that permits him to proclaim the philosophy of the surface. Deleuze’s
thought develops its success from the immediate emotional influence that is not a rejection of thought
but in its character is similar with satori of Zen Buddhism.
The radical gesture of the Zen Buddhism consists in the purification of the conscience of all of the
actual consistency and the eruption of the discursive flux. The philosophy of Gilles Deleuze includes
the intellectual preparation and the interruption of the flow of thoughts and its non-finality. This nonfinality
of philosophical consideration has many consequences in different realms; they amount to the radical rejection of phenomenology and the rejection of teleology with its idea of the end of the history
and the discovery of the new space for new philosophical synthesis. Refs 5.

dc.description.abstract

The main subject if this article deals with the scholarly value of the works published by Alexander
Nikolaevich (Hieromonk Alexei) Vinogradov (1845-1919/20). The author provides a list of Vinogradov’s
principal published works and explains what made them different in comparison with the Russian
literature of his time. Analysis shows that Vinogradov, who had received no systematical higher
education on ecclesiastical subjects, was able to assess his subject matter freely and widely. His desire
to do scholarly research in any form available at the time, his enchantment with China, and official
assignment to supervise Bible translations from Church Slavonic into Chinese brought him to notice
the difference between the Slavonic and the English Bible. So he produced a three-volume work on the
history of biblical translations into English. It is the only treatment of this subject that has ever been
written by a Russian scholar. The work is based mainly on the English treatises of the time, and open
(i.e., not hindered by any confessional Orthodox anti-Western or anti-critical attitude) reception of the
English literature made this work special. So far as Vinogradov was mainly translating, copying and
pasting the English sources into his Russian text, he worked along the medieval fashion of ‘translatio
studii’. Yet, as he is slavishly copying the critical literature of the 19th century, the outcome of his work
stimulates and encourages the reception of critical scholarship. Refs 7.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the history of analytic philosophy which involved periods when the importance of
metaphysics was rejected, along with speculative philosophy and an accent was placed on the analysis of
the language. The analytical tradition always presumed western philosophy as something self-evident.
Until recently disputes on the importance of history of philosophy for analysts had not arisen. It not
especially favored. However, the possibility of losing the self-reflection of analytic philosophy, the probability
of losing the analysis of one’s own foundation in the mirror of other traditions, having somewhat
other grounds than analytics, brought special attention to the history of philosophy. Compelled
reflection revealed not only its attitude towards continental philosophy, but also threw light both on
its success and its shortcomings. The strengthened work on an origin of analytical philosophy for the
purpose of replacement of the developed myth with historical truth has begun. Now there are disputes
concerning the term of interpretation «analytical philosophy» and the thinkers it involves. A problem
is that is difficult to make exact definition of “analytical philosophy” as it is not so much a specific doctrine
as a liberal range of approaches to problems. The problem was to find a method of classification
of analytical philosophers or to sort out their relations to the thought movement which history makes
analytical tradition. Gradually for analysts it became clear that programs of analytical philosophy have
replaced each other because the latent metaphysical assumptions lying in their basis have changed. The
history of the historical-philosophical discussion of a problem is offered also by the given paper. Refs 31.

value:
Aristotle in the Problems (Section XXX, q. 1), states that excessive black bile (atrabilis or melancholy)
can be a disease; but, the atrabilis in moderate doses, it can be the organic foundation of genius. This
is the doctrine also maintained by Galen and the Aristotelian medieval interpreters. This text was
widely discussed by Renaissance physicians and philosophers (Juan de Aviñón, Bernardino Montaña,
Bartolomé Felipe, Pedro Mercado, Francisco Valleriola, and Juan Huarte de San Juan). In the Baroque
period, it was a recurring theme in psychology, medicine, art, theology and literature. Some physicians
attribute diabolic traits to melancholy associated with astral movements (Andrés Velázquez, Francisco
Vallés, Alfonso de Santa Cruz). In the romanticism the figure of the genius picks up the features
developed by the medicine of the baroque period. Suarez could not ignore the question and briefly
addressed it in his commentary on De anima with a physiological or “naturalistic” interpretation of
genius: Physiology determined the conditions and phenomena of genius. Other theologians, such as
Báñez, maintain a more flexible interpretation: Intellectual habits (e.g., study and work) incline to the
acquisition of a melancholic character. But neither Suárez nor Báñez attribute to melancholy either
devilish or astral traits. Refs 24.

The article presents the author’s view on a complex and multifaceted problem of gastrointestinal stromal
tumors through close multidisciplinary interaction of specialists in different fields. Analysis of
clinical cases has demonstrated the great importance of modern endoscopic techniques such as endosonography
and capsule endoscopy for the implementation of accurate preoperative diagnosis; but
it has also shown the role of close collaboration between surgeons and medical oncologists for appropriate
assessment of the need to assign a specific targeted therapy. Therefore in this issue we have
provided the main elements to which doctors must pay attention when confronted with this pathology.

Elderly patients constitute a significant proportion of the population. All they need skilled dental care.
Elderly patients constitute a significant proportion of the population. All at some point need skilled
dental care. However, a significant proportion of patients are afraid of dental appointments. Premedication
is prescribed for patients with high levels of anxiety before dental treatment. However, study
of each patient’s medical history reveals a significant number of comorbidities limiting the use of
medications for the prevention of stress and pain at a dentist’s appointment. This study evaluated the perception of pain of elderly patients with middle and high levels dentophobia during a surgical dental
appointment. All patients who participated in the study live in geriatric center. All patients before
tooth extraction surgery took the advice of a psychiatrist and neurologist. Patients with a high level of
a dentophobia were given an over the counter premedication and local anesthesia with a solution of
4% articaine with vasoconstrictor in a dilution of 1:200000. Premedication was not administered for
patients with a middle level of dentophobia, and local anesthesia was administered using a 3% mepivacaine
solution without vasoconstrictor. Evaluation of pain perception was carried out by the following
methods: electroodontodiagnosis, electromyography of facial muscles, Sound Eyes Motor Scale and
the visual analogue scale. The results obtained using these methods have shown a reliable correlation
between each other. The efficiency of premedication was proven as reducing the perception of pain of
patients with high level of dentophobia. Refs 15. Figs 4.

value:
Our research examines the features of reparative histogenesis in liquidation of rigid residual cavity
in chronic pleural empyema by means of a composite material. An experiment was conducted using
30 laboratory rats to model limited chronic pleural empyema (formed by implantation in the right
half of the chest cavity a silicone bead with a 9mm diameter) and determine the use of the composite
material “LitAr” in combination with an antibiotic to eliminate a rigid residual cavity in chronic pleural
empyema. The cavity over the course of 20 days observation was infected with the introduction of
0.5 ml of overnight culture suspension of 105 CFU of Klebsiella pneumonia (strain GISCO № 278).
To create a model of limited chronic empyema it took 38 days. Then the infected cavity was filled
with composite material and the antibiotic cefazolin was administered intramuscularly in the dose of
20 mg/kg two times per day for 10 days. The area subjected to sealing composite material was then excised
for subsequent morphological study. The data showed that the combination of composite “LitAr”
antibiotic accelerated vasculogenesis, optimized cell proliferation and fibroblast cytodifferentiation
differon. This resulted in the migration of a large number of differentiated fibroblasts to the composite
material. These formed on the site of the liquidated cavity as loose irregular connective tissue. Refs 12.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article covers one of the topics explored by the researchers of the Laboratory of Computer Games
Research — the image of the Other (Alien, Different, Enemy, etc.) in computer games. Being a new
form of aesthetic, cultural, social, and communicative experience, computer games are beginning to
influence our everyday practices. Many of the processes in social life (production, labour, education,
rest, communication) become mediated and playful. Game mechanics are used in non-game contexts
(this process is called “gamification”), and due to this procedure, the experience of computer games is
transmitted to the areas that are considered to entirely lack playfulness: war, pain, violence, corporeal
feelings. All in all, nowadays many social relationships are formed by the game. For instance, the space
of MMORPG often becomes a laboratory, where social skills are perfected, the first encounter with
the other occurs, and the contours of new intersubjectivity are set. In games humans are even more
unprotected than on the stage, in a reality-show, or on the battlefield because they cannot hide themselves
behind the mask and have to open their face in front of the other to make the game happen.
To begin the game, we let the Other (even if objectified in the form of rules) occupy our being. The
article considers the examples of how the image of the Other is constructed in games, how the game
space, the media field of the game, engenders certain ethical norms and ways of gaming behaviour.
The way we look at each other is is determined by media, and in this sense, the game becomes more
influential. This fact cannot be ignored by the social sciences, especially by those who explore media
reality. Refs 33.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The first version of this paper was presented at the Stanford Humanities Centre conference “Russian
Formalism & Digital Humanities” on April 13, 2015. It addressed Franco Moretti’s provocative
application of the Darwinian evolutionary model based on the divergence of biological species and
their survival through the mechanism of natural selection to literary history. This approach was juxtaposed
against the ideas of two leading Russian Formalists, Iurii Tynianov and Roman Jakobson, whose
explanation of linguistic/literary change was programmatically anti-Darwinian making conversion
(conceived, though, in a very specific way) the cornerstone of their respective historiographies. In
doing so, they were reacting to the project of historical poetics advanced by the 19th century Russian
Positivist philologist, Aleksandr Veselovskii (1838–1906), whose stated goal was to trace the morphological
divergences of texts across time and space. The dichotomy “conversion-diversion,” my paper
illustrated, is not limited to criticism alone. The same frame of reference was invoked in the late 1950’s
in a famous dispute between the behavioral psychologist B. F. Skinner and the father of the generativetransformational
grammar, Noam Chomsky, about language acquisition and subsequently in their
heated polemics about the human subject’s autonomy triggered by the publication of Skinner’s book
Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1971). Refs 15.

title: Preferences of Creditors Towards Formal Bankruptcy Or Restructuring In the Course of Bankruptcy (The Case of “Transaero” Company)

value: Chirkova, Elena V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is a case study of the bankruptcy of the Russian carrier company “Transaero” that
took place in 2015 aimed to reveal the preferences of creditors of financially distressed companies
between formal bankruptcy and restructuring. We suggest that the creditors of “Transaero”
have chosen its bankruptcy because its liquidation value was significantly higher than its going
concern value. Using data on plane sales we estimated statistically the market value of
airplanes by plane type depending on their age. It gave us the better estimate of the value of
Transaero’s fleet. According to our estimate the liquidation of the company will lead to the 75%
debt recovery for its debt holders. Then we modelled the hypothetic restructuring that included
asset sales and return of a number of planes in financial lease to the leasing companies, and in
total we got rid of 35 planes. This restricting could bring the debt down by 22% but under no
future cash flow scenario the company would be able to serve its debt. The enterprise value of
“Transaero” as a going concern is less than its liquidation value hence the value of its equity
is negative. The future cash flow to the firm is less than annuity payments needed to serve and
to pay out debt. In case of restructuring the creditors’ losses would have been in the range of
60% to 78%. Thus, we concluded that the choice of the creditors was rational.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The core question of the article is the social responsibility of business. There is quite a long-drawn-out
ongoing discussion among the scientific community about nature and essence of the phenomenon. In
this perspective, the absence of a common scientific interpretation seems to arise because of a number
of issues that appear during analysis of social responsibility of business. Western scientists started their
investigations in this sphere in the 1950s. It was connected with TNCs’ activity that caused some social
and ecological problems. In Russia the interest in the social responsibility of business emerged only
in in the 2000s. A great number of political, economical and social reasons could explain that. Plenty
of studies reveal that the increase in social responsibility of Russian business runs in line with global
trends: a positive attitude about socially responsible companies is gradually prompting scientific debates about a common approach for analyzing the kernel and “boundaries” of social responsibility. The
article explores the category of social responsibility and business’ unique essence as a subject of social
responsibility. The authors present an evolution of the concept of social responsibility of business and
its fundamental modern approaches. Refs 25.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of this paper is to examine manifestations, antecedents, and consequences of employees’
extra-role behaviour in Russian business organisations. The authors empirically identify four distinct
types of extra-role behaviour: active prosocial, passive prosocial, oriented towards extra efforts at
work, and challenge-oriented. The study is based on a sample of 112 employees from two organizations
(manufacturing and IT). The analysis shows that organization-based management practices are
stronger predictors of extra-role behaviors compared to respondents’ individual characteristics. The
authors also found that the two types of extra-role behavior (‘passive prosocial’ and ‘oriented towards extra-efforts at work’), typically demonstrated by among by low-resource employees, seemingly result
from poor management practices, and negatively influence on respondents’ job satisfaction and career
promotions. In turn, high-resource employees tend to be engaged in active prosocial and change-oriented
behaviors. These two types of extra-role behavior lead to higher work satisfaction and career
success. The analysis enriches understanding of the nature of extra-role behavior in Russian organisations,
its costs and benefits for organisations. It reveals the most effective types of extra-role behavior
to be recommended for managerial implications. Refs 23. Tables 3.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly recognized as an important problem that can
lead to cirrhosis and hepatic failure. It may be the most prevalent liver disease. However,knowledge
of the epidemiology is limited. These findings encourage to conduct a larger sample size study to
evaluate the real prevalence of NAFLD in the Russian population. It is important to know current
prevalence of NAFLD. DIREG 2 study was performed under umbrella of leading Russian professional
societies in partnership with Sanofi Russia. Objective: to estimate the prevalence of NAFLD within
the general practitioner’s and gastroenterologist’s patient flow. It is important to know current prevalence
of NAFLD in North-West region and to compare with DIREG 2 results. Materials and methods.
Epidemiologic, observational, multicenter study assessing the prevalence of NAFLD among patients
outpatient practice. A total of 50 145 patients (3769 in North-West region) including those suspected of having NAFLD criteria were enrolled in the Program. The investigators were qualified doctors
(GPs \ therapist’s \ gastroenterologists), providing outpatient care for the population. The epidemiological
data were obtained, recorded during two routine patient visits to investigating centers. Study
results. Percentage of patients with revealed NAFLD within the patient flow primary or consistently
coming to selected doctors for any reason including those suspected of having NAFLD was 37,3 %
in Russia vs 49,1 % in North West Region. Conclusion. Prevalence of NAFLD among patient flow of

The article is devoted to the events that took place in October–November of 1741 which were
connected with the attempts of a number of dignitaries to work out the legislative mechanism of accession
within the ruling family in order to avoid a possible interregnum. The active participants of the discussions
were Regent Anna Leopoldovna, cabinet ministers A. I. Osterman and M. G. Golovkin, the first member of the
Synod Archbishop of Novgorod Ambrose, as well as a member of the Economy Collegium I. N. Temiriazev
and the secretary of the Foreign Affairs Collegium A. Poznyakov. As a rule, in historiography these events
are deal with the court intrigues. At the same time the surviving documents are of special interest as sources
of the political culture of the XVIIIth century Russian nobility. The analysis of documents (opinions and drafts
of persons which are published in this article) allows us to conclude that the positions and preferences of
their authors can not be explained simply by court conjuncture. They sought to solve the problem within the
framework of the actual legislation. The authors showed themselves as a supporters of the «legal monarchy»
but not voluntary decisions even if it was sanctified by the name of the sovereign. Also these events showed
that representatives of the ignoble metropolitan nobility had a chance to express themselves and even to
influence the creation of the fundamental law of the monarchy. Although the coming to the power of Elizabeth
Petrovna did not allow this projects to be realized and their opinions hadn’t significant impact on the history
of the imperial legislation, these documents testify to certain successes in the development of secular political
culture in post-Petrine Russia.

title: The name of the Slavs: etymology and meaning

dc.contributor.author

value: Mesiarkin, Adam

dc.description.abstract

value:
The name is the main constitutive element and the most important identification sign of
a barbaric community. The fixation of the name Σκλαβηνοί in the 6th century by Procopius of Caesarea
and Jordanes as a designation of one of the groups of the trans-Danubian Barbaricum is the chronological
boundary that separates the Slavs of prehistoric times from the historic Slavs. For a long time it was believed
in historiography that the Slavs as a «people» or «cultural community» existed long before the 6th century,
thus hiding in sources under other names. Of these names, the most important was the name Venethi / Venedi.
However, the Slavs became Venethi, as well as the Venethi became Slavs, only thanks to Jordanes. The author
of the article tends to the opinion that the name Σκλαβηνοί was originally a designation of only one barbaric
group, and then, due to various intellectual and ideological factors, it was transferred to other communities
until it acquired the meaning in which it is understood today. Linguists, as well as historians, based on linguistic
facts, a priori interpreted the self-name of the Slavs as based on the common language — on the word *slovo. It
followed from this that this ethnic community arose on the basis of the language community. The thesis about
the Slavs as «clearly speaking», that is, about the existence of an ethnic group, whose members determined
themeselves through a common language already in the 6th century or even earlier, still occupies a strong
position in Slavic studies. However, according to the author of the article, the picture according to which
the formation of the group name «Slavs» was a result of the members of this group rational awareness that
they use the unique «Slavic language» is not convincing. The connection between the name of the Slavonic
community and the (Slavonic language) basis *slovo as well as the perception of the Slavs as the «people of
the word» emerged much later: the linguistic interpretation of the ethnonym Slavs is the core of the intellectual
and religious concept that took shape in the second half of the 9th century, being connected with the mission
of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Moravia and Pannonia. For this reason, the author of the article prefers the
etymology of the name «Slavs» proposed by the Polish linguist Zbigniew Babik because, in the author’s
opinion, it is Babik’s etymology, and not the traditional linguistic view that reflects the reality of the Barbaric
world of the early Middle Ages in more adequate way

The object of the article is the review for the book «The Church and the Empire in the Byzantine
ecclesiastical poetry» written by Vladimir Vasilik. The author supposes the book successfully regards
a number of subjects from Ante-Nicene hymnography up to the services of the 10th century and from the
problem of prayer and martyrdom up to reflexion of earthquakes. Vladimir Vasilik publishes a number of
hitherto unknown texts — such as the oldest canon to St. Emperor Constantine and the service to St. Nicholas.
He makes a number of findings concerning both Ante-Nicene hymnography (е. с. preaching of St. Paul over
Euphrates) and Byzantine ecclesiastic poetry (namely the reflexion of rebellion Nika and great earthquakes of
the 6th century, reconstruction of biography of St. Romanos the Melod, veneration of Emperor-martyr Nicephor
II and parallels with that of St. Princes Boris and Gleb etc.). The author makes a thorough comparative analysis
of image of St. Emperor Constantine and that of St. Equal to Apostles Prince Vladimir in the hymnographic
monuments. He makes very interesting parallels between the Cathedral of St. Apostles in Constantinople and
the «Desyatinnaya» Church of Dormition in Kiev. The book of Vladimir Vasilik seems to be a great success
of the author and a serious contribution to Russian Byzantine and Slavonic studies.

The article discusses the history, formation and development of the world’s only scientific journal
on the history of Rusins. The international historical journal Rusin was founded in 2005. In the course
of 12 years it succedeed in taking rightful place among the historical journals. The international Editorial
Board and the pool of regular writers were formed. The subjects of the articles comprise the ancient history
of Carpathian-Dniester lands, the early ethnic history of Slavs and Rusins, Rusins’ medieval history, modern
and contemporary history, material and spiritual culture and the language of Rusins.
46 volumes of the journal had been issued from 2005 through to 2016. 679 materials were published in them
according to the scientific digital library «CyberLeninka». As the library statistics showed, the articles were
viewed by 130 113 readers and there were 28 623 downloads during that period. The journal intensified the
study of the history of Rusyns. The studies of the Rusin problems began in St. Petersburg and Tomsk State
Universities. The editors of The Rusin annually hold four international conferences on topical issues. The
correct editorial policy led to a rise in the popularity and prestige of the journal. At the end of 2015 The Rusin
headed the list of the East European historical journals indexed in the Scopus database and was included in
the Q1 «Scopus» database.
In 2015 Russia, the Public Association, and The Rusin editorial board launched a new project The Rusin
Journal Library. Archive materials and foreign researchers’ papers translated into Russian were published in
it. The English version of the annals called The Rusin Studies. An Abstract Journal will be published in 2017.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The publication is a review of the monograph by Vadim Viktorovich Dolgov on the ancient Russian
everyday life (Dolgov V. V. Byt i nravy Drevney Rusi. Miry povsednevnosti XI–XIII vv. [Life and customs
of Ancient Rus’. Everyday life worlds of the 11th – 13th centuries]. St. Petersburg: Oleg Abyshko Publ., 2017.
592 p. ISBN 978- 5-903525-92-8). While noting that in Dolgov’s book for the first time in historiography a
complete picture of the social structure was reconstructed as it seemed to the man of Ancient Rus’, the author
of the review sees the main value of V. Dolgov’s monograph in the integrity of his reconstruction of the Old
Russian picture of the world. In Dolgov’s book the Old Russian notion of society was examined at four basic
levels: 1) at the microgroup level; 2) at the level of the city volost’; 3) in relation to other Russian volosts and
the world as a whole; 4) in relation of the earthly / real world to the unearthly / supernatural world. Thus,
in Dolgov’s book there were examined all the key coordinates of the Old Russian social world outlook and
there was given an opportunity of representing what forms the basis of any picture of the world, namely a
complex of images of the world and the location of man in the world. The author of the review emphasizes
that when analyzing material that used to be examined in traditional historiography from the standpoint of
«classical» political and social history, Vadim V. Dolgov applied methods of socio-anthropological research
and used socio-anthropological terminology tools to describe everyday and political realities. The author of
the review concludes that the publication of the fundamental monograph by V. V. Dolgov means a turning
point in the study of Old Russian everyday life.

title: Izidor Kršnjavi and beginning of arts and crafts movement in Zagreb in the 1880s

dc.contributor.author

dc.description.abstract

value:
Aim of the paper is to show development of arts and crafts movement in Zagreb. Main idea
behind the paper is to contextualize arts and crafts movement in Zagreb with other similar movements in the Habsburg Monarchy and elsewhere in Europe by pointing out to the political ideas behind the movement.
Special emphasis is given to Arts Society and its founder Izidor Kršnjavi, Arts and Crafts Museum, Crafts
school, and the first art exhibition in Zagreb.
Members of the Art Society considered themselves to be at the crucial turning point of national history. Their
role was to preserve the rapidly disappearing national culture which was believed to represent authentic
voice of the nation, and to have economic benefits from it. Such ideas were a mixture of (alternative)
modernism and antimodernism; antimodernism in terms that there was an idea of decline of national culture
in previous times which should be restored. The restoration was imagined to be done in an alternative way
by the creation of a small wealthy class of craftsmen and artists, unlike in the West where the big factories
dehumanized people and created proletariat. In order to fulfill their duty, the Arts Society established
institutions, organized exhibitions and lectures, so they could educate the wider population and a new class
of artists and craftsmen. The Arts Society promoted ideals of patriotism and morality through its projects,
institutions and education, with the main aims to representing the nation and to legitimize the Monarchy.
The Arts and Crafts museum, and the Craft school were following more or less the official policy of the
Monarchy in establishing multi-national nation of various cultures, that is, multicultural political nation.
One piece of evidence for such claim surely are awards that Kršanjavi and Bolle received from Franz Jozef
for their efforts in establishing the School and the Museum. Also, they were sponsored by ban Hedervary
who was working on the pacification of the Triune Kingdom. Kršnjavi, as many other intellectuals from the
Monarchy previously schooled in Vienna, can be seen as some kind of liberal monarchic patriot with the
aim to establish economically and culturally self-sufficient nation which would peacefully coexist with other
nations and cultures of the Monarchy.

The article considers the current situation in the field of studying the history of Old Rus’ and the
Eastern Slavic Middle Ages in general. A thesis states that currently there is a tendency to disintegration
of the formerly single field of research, and that medievalists from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine are
increasingly locked in their national historiographies. Such a situation is figuratively compared with the
«great schism» of the Western and Eastern churches in 1054. The article invites to a discussion on this issue.

title: On the «new» privileged status of the university course «The history of the South and West Slavs»

dc.contributor.author

value: Kutyavin, Vladimir

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article contains the analysis of a status and significance of the course «The history of the
South and West Slavs» in the system of historical education in contemporary Russian universities. The author
characterized the transformations of this course whose «nomenclative» title remained nonetheless unchanged.
The initiative of innovations most often came from Leningrad (St. Petersburg) historians who specialized
in Slavic studies; they consistently affirmed regional and typological structure of the course teaching, and
consisted that the course would be concentrated not only upon the nations of Slavic origins, but also on
the non-Slavic population of the region. Despite all the transformations of the contents of the course, its
significance and the «new» privileged status is determined by the position of the Slavs and the neighboring
nations ― between the West and the East. The study of this «intermediate» territory, where the various
civilizational influences were intercrossed and every process was marked with the special complexity, is
very useful for the formation of complex vision of the European and even world history. Besides, the nations
which are «clamped» between the West and the East share the unique type of the historical conscience, and
the national historiographic traditions of these nations could provide an excellent base for the memory studies
(primarily, the studies of traumatic memory) and the studies of historical politics.

title: The Rurikids’ Polity in the first half of the 10th century: Chronology, Territory & Social Structure

dc.contributor.author

value: Shchavelev, Aleksei S.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper provides an attempt of a comprehensive reconstruction of the absolute chronology of
Rurikid’ polity in the first half of the 10th century, its historical geography and territorial organization during
this period. Separately, is made an attempt to recreate the model of the social structure of communities of
Rus’ in the first half – the middle of the 10th century by simultaneous written sources in a comparison with
the data of first Russian chronicles.
The paper substantiates that the Rurikid’s polity was created in the half a century between the conventional
910 and 960 years. Geographically this polity consisted of two of nuclear territories — the «southern»
around Kiev and the «northern» around Novgorod, around which had been formed the zones for racketeering
by Rus’. Rus’ was quite homogeneous society in which varied hereditary and acquired individual status, but
had not yet been established rigid social hierarchy. It was a militant political community with a hereditary
position of its leader (ruler). By the middle of the 10th century there was an allocation of the princely family
of Rurikids as a conical ruling clan.

title: Svatopluk’s Regnum Sclavorum as a source of medieval Slavic concepts of Sclavinia

dc.contributor.author

value: Malinovská, Nora

dc.description.abstract

value:
The Primary Chronicle (The Tale of Bygone Years) is believed to have incorporated and
preserved the very archaic West Slavic segments from the unknown historical source belonging to the Great
Moravian or Pannonian literary tradition of the late 9th and early 10th centuries. These parts bear the precious
testimony about the archetypal motherland of the Slavs on the Danube River, from where they gradually
spread out over the extensive parts of Europe, preserving, however, solidly the consciousness of their initial
unity. This motherland on the Danube, which they called Slovyenskaya zeml’ya [Slavic land/country], was
later then occupied by the Hungarian tribes and consequently renamed into Hungary. Acknowledging this
West Slavic tradition as their own, the East Slavs became the apparent successors of the Great Moravian and
Cyrillo-Methodian ideological concept of the Slavic world.
The analogical case of an adoption of the Great Moravian tradition into the particular, this time, the
South Slavic tradition can be detected in the Chronicle of Pop Dukljanin. Here we have witnessed how
the interjection of the (Great Moravian) Svatopulk’s tradition with the tradition of the Slavonic-Croatian
statehood laid the basis for the South Slavic tradition of Sclavinia as the powerful and archaic Balkan
country of the Slavs. A very similar message is brought forward by the Hungarian-Polish Chronicle, where
Sclavonia as Great Moravia is explicitly considered to be a predecessor of the Kingdom of Hungary.
The last discussed concept of Sclavinia, as the vast country of many Slavic tribes, arises when dealing
with the Chronicle of Gallus Anonymus. Within this widest portrayal and territorial depiction of Sclavinia
we have witnessed the gradual evolution of an idea of the ethnic unity of the Slavs, which was gradually
extended into the geo-political dimensions (e. g. references to St. Adalberts’s plan of Sclavinia as the political
union of the West and possibly the South Slavs; also to Otto’s III plan of Renovation Imperii Romanorum).
Again here, we come to a touch with the Great Moravian legacy and its genius loci, which was influencing
the ideological movements in this region for many centuries.
Summarizing the outcomes from the analysed historical sources, we presume to identify the three basic
Slavic traditions, which trace their roots back to Great Moravia of Svatopluk and its ideological and
territorial legacy: 1) Old-Russian tradition; 2) South Slavic tradition; and 3) Latin West Slavic tradition. All
these traditions, as it was shown, are alleged to have fixed the historical memory of the Slavs themselves
about their first statehood on the Danube — the river, which as a result acquired a «totemic», sacral character
both in oral and written traditions of almost all Slavic peoples. Great Moravia, which served as the model
of the powerful and in all aspects important Slavic state, stamped the evolution and history of the majority
of its Slavic descendants. These, in order to receive a hallmark of their own legitimacy, preserved, modified
and spread further the memory on the common Slavic country (motherland), called Sclavinia.

title: Tsar Stefan Dušan the Mighty as a patricide and a lawbreaker: negative points in the image of the ruler in Serbian historical memory of the 14th – 21st centuries

dc.contributor.author

dc.description.abstract

value:
Stefan Dušan is one of the most famous heroes of Serbian medieval history. He is brilliant
statesman, conqueror, legislator, monastery founder and the most powerful representative of Nemanjich
dynasty. He made a lot of effort for the development of Orthodoxy in his state and he established the
Serbian Patriarchate. Nevertheless, Dušan turned out to be one of the few from his dynasty who are not
canonized. The author of this article analyses views of the authors of the 14th – 21st centuries on the two
most contradictory moments of Dušan’s biography, and either can be reasonable enough for Dušan to stay
as faithful tsar and being not canonized. First moment is his struggle with his father, Stefan Dečanski, for
supreme power in the country and sudden death of the latter. Second subject comprises the establishment
of the Serbian Patriarchate and Dušan’s imperial coronation without the approval of Byzantine empire and
Constantinople Patriarchate. These events eventually resulted in the pronounce an anathema against Dušan
and Serbian church in general and in the long breaking between Serbian and Byzantine church which was
over only in 1375, twenty years after Dušan’s death. Studying medieval sources and works of historians
and literary men of the 17th – 21st centuries, the author shows several different ways of looking into both
subjects and deals with the reasons of all evaluations of Dušan’s actions. The author comes to the conclusion
that Serbian authors still have undying interest in the personality of Serbian tsar as well as in the reasons
opposing to his canonization. Apparently, although both moments in question can be crucial for the denial
of becoming a saint for Dušan, it does not diminish neither his achievements as a ruler nor his value as
a symbol of the greatness of medieval Serbia.

title: Slovenin of the «Russkaya Pravda» and Slovene of the «Tale of Bygone Years»

dc.contributor.author

value: Petrov, Nikolay I.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The term Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law (1010s) is considered in this article as the basis for
interpretation of information about that population at the lake Ilmen’ region, which was named Slovene
in the chronicles since the late 1030s. In Yaroslav’s Law Slovenin was opposed to the prince’s Rusin. The
Slovenin, like the izgoy mentioned in the immediate neighborhood of him, was not included in the system of
relations of the prince’s men, and this system did not determine their social status. The proximity of terms
Slovene and Novgorodtzi in the annalistic articles of 1018 and 1036 indicates that the owners of mansions
at the boroughs of Novgorod (the local boyars) — and not the inhabitants of Rurik’s hill-fort (original
Novgorod) — started to be named as Novgorodians right after transmission of the prince’s residence in
the first half of 1010s to the locality, which was called Yaroslav’s Court. Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law
reflects day-to-day ethnosocial lexis of Novgorod in the early 11th century and this makes understandable
the political context of begining of perception of Slovene as the name of Novgorodians by Russian annalistic
tradition, which was formed during the late 1030s. The Annalist, as is seen from the entry of 1036, did not
make difference between Slovene and Novgorodians, but the mention of the latter in Yaroslav’s Law was
inadmissible because of the socio-topographic uncertainty of the toponym Novgorod in the 1010s.
Annalistic Slovene at the lake Ilmen’ region in the 9th–10th centuries is the secondary and hypothetical concept
in relation to Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law. Actually we know nothing about the existence of ethnonym
Slovene somewhere in upper reach of the Volkhov river during the 9th century. The Annalist undoubtedly
projected the meaning of the legal term of Yaroslav’s Law to the Novgorod Slovene of annalistic narratives.
Thus, the annalistic passage of the difference between the sails of Slovene and Rus’, who participated
in the campaign of Oleg to Constantinople, looks like a rather artificial transfer of the problem of their
inequality, which was actual for early 11th century Novgorod, to the year 907. At the time when traditions
referring to the events of the 9th–10th centuries were fixed by the developed Old Russian annalistic tradition,
the term Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law was not completely forgotten. Reproduction of Slovenin in the
extensive edition of Russian Law (the early 12th century) is anachronism but nevertheless it testifies to at
least «passive» existence of this ethnosocionym during the whole 11th century. However, the name Slovenin
mentioned among other ethnonyms in the canonical answers of the Novgorod Bishop Nifont (1131–1156)
seems to have already a wide meaning «Slav», typical for the Old Russian literary tradition.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on the analysis of the manuscript of Jan Potocki which was founded in the
archives of the St. Petersburg Institute of History (Russian Academy of Sciences). It is the translation into
French of some parts of the «Chronicon terræ Prussiæ» by Peter of Dusburg. This translation was used
by Potocki for his research in the East European history. Notes of translator contained in this manuscript
shows that Potocki gave considerations to toponyms in his researches. Exploring the manuscript authors
identified some sources used by Jan Potocki. To a considerable degree his notes were based on the remarks
of Christophor Hartknoch, the first editor of «Chronicon terræ Prussiæ». Other source of information was
the appendix of the map of Prussia made by historian and cartographer of 16th century Caspar Hennenberger.
A drawing attention to toponyms was one of a characteristic features of Potocki’s works, in view of sphere
of his interest ― the history of ethnos. Moreover, Potocki offered a specific representation of the Middle
Ages considered as a interlink between Antiquity and the Modern time. Potocki underlined the continuity
of toponyms. According to Potocki, analysis of toponyms, gives an indication of the settlement borders
between particular ethnic groups. Chronicles written at various times allow to reveal the details of continuity
and borrowing the place names of some words by different ethnical groups from each other. Potocki used
various dictionaries, as well as lists of words that he has made during his travels in order to establish the
linguistic trees from ancient to contemporary languages. Jan Potocki considered the Eastern Europe region
not from the position of contemporary national borders, but in terms of «Sarmatia». The study of the region,
as a whole, without allocation of internal political boundaries could be inspired by the theory of Sarmatism.

The paper is focused on the peculiarities of psychic adaptation of siblings with a brother or sister with
autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The study was carried out with an experimental group consisting
of 31 healthy siblings, each with a sibling with ASD. The age of healthy children and adolescents was
from 6 to 17 years with an average age of 12 years. The age of siblings with ASD was 5 to 17 years, the
average age was 9 years. The average age of parents is 40 years. In terms of the severity of the disease of
children with ASD, two groups were identified: 81 % (25) siblings with severe autism, and 19 % (6) with
moderate severity. The control group included 30 families with healthy siblings. It was found that among siblings having brother or sister with ASD, emotional instability was
observed in the personality structure, which was manifested in high frustration, anxiety, affective rigidity, a tendency to self-incriminating behavior in a conflict situation, with a reliably high control over emotions, in comparison with children and adolescents of the control group. The level of psychological and socio-psychological adaptation in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group. It was shown that the relationship between siblings of the experimental group express ambivalence, which was due to the need for increased supervision of siblings with ASD, zealous relations to parents, as well as pessimistic assessments of the future of their siblings with ASD. It has been established that the siblings of the experimental group were less able to comply with generally accepted social standards. Refs 31. Tables 3.

system, characteristics of social and familial interactions, losses associated with older age. Psychological
factors, taken into consideration were gender issues, in particular the phenomenon of machismo,
spirituality and religiousness, the role of personal autonomy and social capital, loneliness, as well as
cognitive impairments and dementia. Theoretical analysis revealed that despite the economic situation

dc.description.abstract

value:
The idea of a world revolution, in fact, had always been a leitmotiv in the politics of the Soviet
Union. Initially, it called for an immediate overthrow of capitalism on a global scale. However, from
the mid-1920s, the catchphrase of “socialism in one country” defined its core and, from the mid-1930s,
it began to be identified with Stalin’s theory of the state. In reality, the key ideas behind the philosophy of world revolution were being partially put to practice only in the Soviet Union, where the Bolsheviks
had been able to hold on to power, ban private ownership and minimize market relations. Attempts by
the Comintern to foment uprisings in other countries were an utter failure. Under the circumstances,
by the mid-1930s, the call for a world revolution had been removed from open propaganda but were
still preserved within the Red Army. It was the latter that was to be regarded as the main weapon for
overthrowing capitalism. Soviet Union foreign policy was aimed at creating favorable conditions for
the world revolution and at rocking the Versailles system. By the end of the 1930s some elements of
raison d’état had emerged, but they truly finally came to the forefront of the Soviet policy within the
context of the anti-Hitler coalition of 1941–1945. Refs. 54.
