dc.description.abstract

value:
The author analyses the reflection of the events of December 17, 1926, in Lithuania in the conversations
of Soviet and Latvian diplomats and politicians. Soviet diplomats (charge d’affaires S. Borkusevich, consul
general V. Shenshev) usually compiled a record of interviews for timely reports on the current political situation in
Latvia and when the coup had occurred carried out the records of conversations with representatives of various
Latvian political circles in connection with Lithuanian events. These materials were written in an atmosphere of
extreme uncertainty and lack of reliable information, based even on gossips. Soviet diplomats, first, sought to find
out whether the coup had been mounted under “foreign influence” (the possibility of Polish and German influence
was discussed) and, secondly, to realize if the risk of a similar “far right” coup was real in Riga, especially when left
cabinet had just come to power. The reports that were sent to Moscow (People’s Commissariat of International
Affairs) demonstrate both the attitude of various representatives of the political spectrum of Latvia to the Lithuanian
coup and the complex international situation. The events of December 17, 1926, in Lithuania influenced the
formation of the Soviet policy in Latvia. During the negotiations conducted with the center-left government of
Latvia on a trade agreement the Soviet side had also take into account interests of the right-wing opposition —
representatives of the Peasants’ Union of Latvia. A trade agreement with Latvia was concluded on June 2, 1927,
and the representatives of the Peasants’ Union gained certain benefits — thus, certain lessons from Lithuanian
coup were drawn.

dc.description.abstract

value:
During environmental monitoring in the territory of licensed areas of the north of Western
Siberia (YNAO), substances-indicators of pollution of the environment by drilling waste were
identified. It has been established that the discharge significance of phenol, chlorides, Na+ and
Ba2+ is most pronounced when discharging stratal waters. In the drill cuttings, the high level of
chloride, petroleum hydrocarbon, Cu, Sr and Ba concentration was noted. To assess the ecological
state of the natural environment in the gas condensate fields, a set of bioindication methods
including determination of the chemical composition of soils and plants and biotesting of water
extracts of soils using the Chlorella vulgaris and Daphnia magna test objects was applied. The
content of heavy metals Zn, Cd, Cu, Sr, Fe, Mn, Cr, Pb, Ba, Co, and Ni is determined in 8 plant
species. Indicators of early trends in the transformation of ecosystems under the influence of
anthropogenic load have been identified. There are Ledum decumbens и Cladonia stellaris. The
convergence of the results of methods of biotesting, the content of pollutants in soils and plants
are established. The role of biological indication methods under unobtrusive changes in the
state of the environment under conditions of gas condensate deposits is shown.

In his article the author makes an attempt to analyze the campaigns of modernization of the
European Union and European modernization by the leading pan-European left parties — the
Party of European Socialists, the European Green Party, the European Left Party. The author
also speaks about the essence of the European approaches of traditional Marxist-Leninist parties,
the left-populist trend and the direction of left-wing separatism. He shows that, as in the
past, European themes deeply split the modern leftist movement in the EU and that the common
“European project” of the left forces of the European Union does not exist. In the article,
primarily on the basis of an analysis of the political sources of leading left-wing political families,
it is shown that practically all the trends of the modern leftist movement favour a more
humane and social development of European integration. At the same time, fundamental and
deep contradictions exist between the Social-Democracy, the radical left, the “green”, etc., on
the political, socio-economic and foreign policy aspects of the building of the EU.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers the position of forces on the left flank of the French party-political spectrum
from the point of view of the attitude of the main parties and movements towards the
prospects of European integration. The author focuses on the French Socialist Party (FSP), in
respect to which internal contradictions between Eurooptimists and Eurosceptics have become
a reflection of the fundamental doctrinal conflict. Emerged at the creation of the party
at the beginning of the 20th century, it found his intermediate solution in the form of a model
of the development of French socialism, proposed by F. Mitterrand in the 1970s. However,
its exhaustion by the mid-2000s intensified the conflict, a significant manifestation of which
was the split of the party over the attitude towards the EU Constitution in 2005. The defeat of
the party during the elections of 2017 and the outlined prospect of its further degradation are
largely related to this circumstance. The position of the forces “to the left of the left”, traditionally
maintaining Eurosceptic stances, is considered separately. Historically, the Trotskyists are
active here, whose attitude towards modern European integration, however, is ambiguous.
Considering it at large as a globalistic project, they, in the main, are not inclined to demand
the immediate withdrawal of France from the EU. The main role among the forces “to the left
of the left” is currently played by the movement J.-L. Mélenchon, which by 2017 had largely
pushed the FSP on the left flank as a whole. While it has benefited from the growth of mass
Eurosceptic sentiments in the country, the problem remains of putting forward a constructive
program aimed at real reform of the EU.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the formation of political systems in states, which have emerged in Eastern
Europe after the Cold War. It emphasises that the majority of states in the region made
a choice in favour of presidential republics. The author have arrived at the conclusion that
characterization of institute of presidentialism in a state under consideration as ‘authoritarian’,
‘hybrid’ or ‘democratic’ to a great extent depends on two factors: scope of constitutional authority
of a president as well as practice of interpretation of this authority in concrete actions
in political domain. Both factors could be under the influence of multiple processes, which include
nature of the mutual interaction of institute of presidential power with three traditional
branches of power in a sovereign state; a practice of relationship with civil society structures,
business communities and media; historical experience and its interpretation in the concrete
historical scenery. Last but not least nature of the political regime in a state and place of an
institute of presidential power in it could be defined by personality of a politician, who hold
the office of president, his or her education, political experience, communication skills, ability
to communicate with representatives of other institutions of state power.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article examines the causes and history of the emergence of a new political movement,
“La République en marche!”, which has a pronounced pro-European character, who won the
presidential and parliamentary elections in France in 2017, as well as the related transformation
of the party and political landscape in France. In the context of the crisis phenomena that
are growing in the European Union (Brexit, migration problem, etc.), the victory of this political
party in one of the leading countries of the EU has not only an internal French but also a
pan-European significance. The prerequisites for this victory are rooted in universal economic
and social changes in the countries of the West associated with the process of globalisation
and the gradual abandonment of state sovereignty. However, this trend meets strong opposition
from traditional economic and political actors. Despite the fact that after one year from
the election, it is premature to talk about fundamental transformations, it is obvious that in
the near future all key political players will experience profound changes. Will the results of
the shifts be fixed or we will regard a gradual return to the former system is dependent on the evaluation of the results of the stay of E. Macron and his political party “La République en
marche!” by the French voters, as well as from support of E. Macron by other representatives
of the political and economic establishment both inside France and beyond.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The major aim of this article was to investigate approaches of various Danish political parties
to the country’s membership in the European Union (EU) and to trace how their perceptions
are reflected in conceptual documents of Denmark’s foreign policy. The main conclusion of the research was as follows. In comparison with such issues, as the reduction/increase of taxes
or the volume of financing, allocated for the international development aid in general, all Danish
political parties maintain a pragmatic view of the EU. The Community is considered not as
an end in itself, but rather as a mean for the promotion of either national economic interests
or political values. The latter explains the continuity of all editions of Danish foreign policy
strategy, which have been adopted both by centre-right and centre-left cabinets from 2011 till
2018. The only party, which demonstrates strong euro-scepticism if the Unity List (Enhedslisten).
However, due to the minor representation in the Folketing (Danish parliament) and
principal differences with other moderately euro-sceptic parties, the Unity List is so far unable
to establish a broad parliamentary coalition, which will initiate the new “Brexit”. Differences
on how to implement the EU policy do exist, but they are rather of tactical, rather than strategic
character and are usually settled down during intra-coalition negotiations.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The May 25, 2014 Elections to the European Parliament led the “European Federation of Green
Parties”, which unites representatives of European environmental parties, to the fifth place in
the political situation and allow to form a parliamentary group of 52 deputies together with
the regionalist party “Free European Alliance” Green/Free European Alliance “(EELV/ ALE).
In this article, the main program settings of the “green” and the group’ specific initiatives on
their implementation by the European Union are considered. The author’s strongly believes
that should be admitted that the requests, appeals to the CES and the Council of the EU, as well
as speeches during the parliamentary debates, were in line with the planned group programme,
and were not devoid of “ecological tonality” and largely met the interests of European civil
society. At the same time, it should be recorded that due to a small number of members of the
“green” group in the European Parliament, it did not have sufficient resources to significantly
influence the adoption of political decisions in the European Union. In addition, it should be
noted that in the EU and between main parties as a whole, there was a consensus on environmental
issues and the “voice of the green” under such a situation is not always catchable.

out at different times from the moment of injury, taking into account the fact of untimely
diagnosis of this consequence of closed chest trauma. Among the cases of chest injuries accompanied
by coagulated hemothorax, three groups of clinical observations were identified:
in the first group, the sanation of the pleural cavity was carried out by means of a video thoracoscopy
under anesthesia (15 cases); in the second — the basis of therapeutic measures was
thoracotomy 4 (observation); in the third, proteolytic enzymes (38 patients) were used to sanitize
the pleural cavity. It is shown that the use of terrylitin in the complex treatment of victims
allows, without the use of such invasive technologies as video thoracoscopy under anesthesia
and thoracotomy, adequately and appropriately sanitating the pleural cavity, releasing it from
clotted blood in 95 % of cases.

impairment at different treatment stages are being analyzed with the focus on cognitive dysfunction
in the group of ovarian cancer patients. It is being discussed in the article that besides
of the neurotoxic influence of chemo treatment, cognitive functions of the ovarian cancer
patients can be impaired due to various other factors and that the subjective assessment of
cognitive functioning does not correspond to the objective results of the neuropsychological
assessment. It is stated in the article that at the moment there is no uniform methodological
approach for neuropsychological assessment of ovarian cancer patients and multidisciplinary
platform is required including the use of EEG, MRI and fMRI methods for precise evaluation
of subtle cognitive impairments.

PAP compared to PAP according to clinical practice guidelines. Surgical site infection
incidence and number of prevented cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhea were chosen as
endpoints. Budget impact analysis indicates that PAP according to clinical practice guidelines
will save a significant part of Russian Federal health system budget as well as the budget of
hospitals. Regular epidemiological monitoring is required to improve the effectiveness of existing

results of a population-wide study of the prevalence of minor cardiac abnormalities e. g. mitral
valve prolapse (MVP) in athletes. The correlates of cardiac abnormalities were analyzed in a
group of high-dynamic sports. An incidence of MVP among professional high-qualification
athletes was 3.3 %. Athletes with MVP were younger, and their training experience was lower.
Our data contribute to the concept that MVP is associated with neither risk nor benefit to
reach the excellence in sports. At the same time, in athletes with minor cardiac abnormalities
the signs of cardiac overload were more prevalent compared to people with none.

named after L. G. Sokolova the laparoscopic hernioplasty was performed in 128 males. Group
1st — 66 patients who underwent hernioplasty with fixation of the mesh implant with cyanoacrylic
glue using an alternative method of delivering the adhesive composition with elimination
of the abdomen defect over the implant with V-loc thread; Group 2nd — 62 patients,
hernioplasty was performed with fixing of the implant with titanium staples, followed by closure
of the abdomen defect with titanium staples. There were carried out the complex analysis
of the life quality of patients, the number of complications and the level of abdominal pain in
the early postoperative period. Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty in
combination with the use of an adhesive composition to fix the reticular implant significantly
improves the patient ’ s quality of life in the postoperative contributes to early discharge from
the hospital and a faster recovery of work capacity. And the use of the proposed method of
glue composition delivery significantly reduces the cost of the operation and can be easily
reproduced in conditions of a surgical hospital.

News events and HCW’ comments that reflected labor conditions’ problems in the treatment
and prophylactic centers situated on Russian territory were analyzed. According to criteria
the most significant risk factors, produced by labor conditions are professional burnout and
stress; physical safety; physical and psychological overloads that are unequal to salaries, massive
reductions in personnel and chronic understaffing, lack of material, technical and pharmaceuticals

In article approach to Smart Governance as to a new stage of public administration at which
the principles of regulation, openness, and transparency introduced within Public Administration,
amplify opportunities of the digital economy, monitoring, and computer information
processing are offered. The analytics in all set of the directions becomes a way of control and
method of Governance improvement. As one of the directions of analytics authors of an article
offered to consider the regime theory, to be exact regime comparison. This technology of
comparative assessment of the states and regions is rather widespread in foreign science but
is seldom applied by the Russian scientists. Its essence consists of assessment, identification
of common features and differences of characteristics of a control system. In article approach
to regime comparisons as an estimation of activity of the states is actualized: its differences,
the directions of estimation and advantages in use are called. The cognitive potential of the
method is revealed and specified by a particular example — evaluation of ethical regimes. The
article called the 10 criteria of world practice in their evaluation. Based on the monitoring of
data on the sites conducted by the authors, it was revealed that there are ethical commissions
in the majority of authorities of the Russian Federation. Authors give information on the level
of publicity of commissions work. They analyze the protocols of one of the commissions for
the period from 2013 to 2017. Analysis of the protocols allowed us to identify three trends in
their evaluation. The first is — that person has initiated discussion: complaints of the population,
officials, representatives of committees, members of the Commission on assessment of
the collected personal data. The second is the issues under discussion. The third is decisionmaking.
The final conclusion is that the Commission was a positive change in the introduction
of “smart governance”. Its work updated the phenomenon of conflict of interest among officials
and developed procedures for correct behavior.

The article is devoted to a problem of modern society’s adaptation to crisis reality. As the
main indicator reflecting the level of adaptation processes the category “social well-being” is
used. On the basis of monitoring of the public opinion which is carried out The Institute of
Socio-Economic Development of Territories of RAS (ISEDT RAS) since 1996 in the territory
of the Vologda region change of social well-being of inhabitants in the region for the 2000th is
analyzed. The main attention is paid to the crisis periods — 2008–2009 and also 2014–2016.
It is revealed that the crisis of 2014–2016 hasn’t caused a sharp deterioration in an emotional
background and mental health, as in 2008–2009 what positive dynamics in reduction of
people’s share with displays of mental disorders in the form of alarm, depression, and neurosis
testifies to; improvement of social mood, etc. At the same time adaptation processes differently
proceeded among separate social and demographic groups, first of all depending on their
welfare. A conclusion that modern specifics of society’s adaptation to the crisis phenomena
is the accustoming of the population to an unsatisfactory situation because of the duration of
problems social and economic character which is followed by growth at people of uncertainty
in the future, a habit to live for “today”.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The subject of the article is the study of the architectural and design style of the loft as a means
of transforming the urban space. This style is analyzed from the point of view of the concept
of space production as a mechanism for soft power implementing and social correction of an
urban community. The evolution of the loft style from the forced reaction to the de-industrialization
of urban space is traced to the creation of a complex semiotic model of urban culture.
Loft design reflects the process of recombination of symbols inherent in the humanized space.
The complex of buildings of the Tate Modern Gallery (London) is presented as an example of
a loft object. The reconstructed building of Bankside Power Station contains a specific spatial
code based on the cultural conventions of the Modern Age. This loft object demonstrates
temporary layers of meanings and aesthetic preferences. The space in the city has a practical,
functional and commercial significance. It is formed by a culture of mass consumption. Loft
design is a solution to the problems of dehumanizing the urban environment and the model
city creating a desert around described by J. Baudrillard. On the one hand, the loft becomes an
aesthetic manifestation of the idea of the historical memory of an architectural object. On the
other hand, the history of the loft style demonstrates the transformation of culture into a key
business restructuring the physical, economic and social space of the modern city.

value:
The article is devoted to the peculiarities of marital relations in the interethnic family. At the
beginning of the article the author analyzes the change in the traditional functions of the
family as society is modernized, paying special attention to the change in the position of the
woman in the family towards equalizing the rights and duties of both spouses; a reduction
in the number of patriarchal families with a traditional distribution of “male” and “female”
family roles, as well as the development of a nuclear partnership family. In the author’s opinion,
it is especially important to study mixed ethnic groups in terms of the impact of cultural
diversity on the socialization of children, satisfaction with marriage and the level of conflict
as compared to a monoethnic family. It was such families that were the focus of research, the
results of which are analyzed in the article. The motivation for entering into an interethnic
marriage is discussed separately, the motive was an emotional attachment, and for families of
both types — interethnic and monoethnic. As it turned out, between the groups of interethnic
and monoethnic families there are no significant differences in the indicators of satisfaction
and conflictness — in both groups the spouses are satisfied with their marriage, families have
a rather low level of conflict. Spouses from monoethnic families share an egalitarian model of marital relations to a greater extent than spouses from interethnic families more often committed
to the traditional model. However, they both share the same opinion that the strength
of the family does not depend on the nationality of the spouses.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The increased number of migratory flows to the territory of the Russian Federation in recent
decades entails a number of negative trends. First of all, this is due to the emergence of the phenomenon
of “ethnic enclaves”, the formation of which is one of the most critically perceived
by the expert community of contemporary ethno-social processes. In the article, an array of
information sources from the Russian electronic scientific library eLIBRARY was analyzed in
order to form an initial view of the peculiarities of research on the topic of “ethnic enclaves”,
their impact on other socio-cultural and socio-economic processes, using bibliometric analysis
and the method of quantitative research of documentary information flows (DIP) from the
point of view of: the temporal distribution of publications, the frequency of use of keywords,
sectoral and thematic structures, organizations involved in the subject area of research, etc.
Conclusions are drawn that, the impact of the enclaveization of the migration community
and its consequences on local territories is not sufficiently studied. The bibliometric analysis
confirmed that migration processes affect the internal fragmentation of the socium of the host
territory, thereby making significant changes in the development of ethnogenesis. Therefore,
the formation of a model for monitoring labor migration must necessarily include components
that are associated not only with the economic, but also ethnosocial consequences of
international migration, which causes further prospects for this direction of research.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers the process of marking a professional identity by young physicians in
the context of the perception of categories “disease” and “pain”. The aim of the research is to
analyze how the formation of professional identity is developing in young physicians in the
context of a different attitude to categories “disease” and “pain”. The empirical basis of the
research: biographical interviews with young physicians of medical specialties from St. Petersburg
(n = 20). For young physicians of medical specialties, the distinctive feature of perception
of categories «pain» is the dichotomy “professionalism — compassion”, which is expressed in
the fact that «pain», on the one hand, is considered exclusively from professional contexts, but
on the other hand — the desire to help the patient is also present within the professional practices
of young physicians. Professional identity in the context of perception of the disease and
pain is marked by young physicians based on various contexts of the attitude to this category.
In the research, we define the category «pain» as an increased and metaphysical category. In
this study, we have identified three key categories of pain (attitude to pain) in young physicians.
Also, the highlighted categories “pain” and “disease” (relations to them) among young
physicians indicate that depending on how the perception of pain occurs, what the determinative
attitude towards pain is, such will eventually be the professional identity of the young
physician and its marking in daily life. In this case, unlike the traditional perception of pain by
physicians, where this category is inscribed in the definition of fleshliness and attitude towards
the fleshliness of the patient, the disease is a metaphysical category, as observed above, and
the attitude towards this category is built on the basis of various factors and components. The
results of this author’s study were the identification of types of professional identity of young
doctors and scenarios of pain perception.

value:
The 1990s crisis, a relatively stable period (2000-2013) and a new period started after the
reabsorption of Crimea in 2014, the falling oil prices and Western financial sanctions are the
steps for Russia’s alienation from Western countries and for growing public interest in the
modernization experience of the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) and other countries. The article
analyses examples of successful post-War modernization in the world in order to identify and
distinguish the most attractive patterns for Russia, not only by economic growth rates, but
accounting public attitudes to different countries. The modernization patterns are studied on the
basis of global modernization monitoring conducted in the PRC and statistical data. Different
modernization models obtained in the frame of historical sociology as methodological basis
have been formulated. Reliable empirical data on public opinion is presented in monitoring
and analytical research by Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM, Moscow) and
Levada Analytical Center (Levada-Center, Moscow). The article proves that the 1990s negative
experience resulted in anti-Western mindsets in the society. It was even strengthened in 2000s as
a result of tensions. For the same period and subsequent years the attitude of the Russian society
to APAC countries (Japan, Korea) has been stable and rather indifferent, except for China. The
Chinese modernization based on the Singaporean model, which is interesting for the Russian
government, will be supported by the Russian society. The sociological analysis of the Russian
public opinion for a quarter of a century combined with modernization achievements and results
in different countries and regions has allowed us to assess the orientations for modernization
that Russia is facing and to distinguish the most significant and promising pattern.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Extensive research has been done on verbal aggression and its effects in mass media, public
opinion and public policy. Growing verbal aggression in mass media usually corresponds with
deepening political confrontation. However, there is a lack of such studies in the context of
the Russian mass media, especially assessing verbal aggression in on-line media with quantitative or qualitative content-analysis. This study addresses this gap in research literature.
The authors have collected data of 164 posts and almost 40 000 comments from the “Echo of
Moscow” web-site in October, 2014 on the topic of the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine. This
conflict was reflected in the posts by binary opposition “we” versus “they” and was realized
within a fundamental principle of journalistic texts composition — the principle of contrast.
The principle includes both the opposition of different views and the opposite assessment of
the same fact. Verbal aggressiveness is a dominant communication strategy in the blogs’ posts.
Verbal aggression usually includes insulting rhetorics, discreditation of opponents, prosecuting,
blaming, threatening, negative forecasting, etc. There are two types of verbal aggression
expressions: implicit and explicit. The content analysis carried out by the authors revealed that
more then 80 % of posts contains verbal aggression.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper analyzes a famous short story “Bartleby the Scrivener” (1854) by H. Melville against
the context of philanthropic practices and charity rhetoric of the antebellum United States. It
claims that the narrator, or the lawyer, represents the type of a sentimental philanthropist: he
feels sympathy and compassion for Bartleby and yet acts in accordance with moral conventions
and prejudices of his time. Almost all scholars of the antebellum philanthropy point at
its ambivalence. On the one hand, charity was bearing on the idea of Christian duty and sentimental
sympathy to the poor and to the destitute, on the other most of the charity practices
of the period professed the Smithian principles of reasonable economy, or the “economy of
charity,” to use the term of an American poet Lydia Sigourney. The paper argues that Melville
employs the stereotypes of contemporary charity discourse in order to pose complex ethical
questions and suggests an alternative model of relationship between a philanthropist and his
dependent. For example, such well-known antebellum charity practice as the visit of the poor
is represented in the story in the grotesque and inverted form. Sympathy is replaced by contagion
that breaks with the sentimental notion of charity based on the idea of the sameness of
universal values and sentiments. The article also demonstrates how in Melville’s short story,
the very idea of charity is removed from the sphere of familiar and canny and begins to verge
on the uncanny and the on Gothic.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the paper interchangeability is regarded as a feature (criterion) of synonymy. The research
is based on the psycholinguistic experiment and Russian National Corpus data. 144 subjects
took part in the experiment: they were given 22 sentences in which subjects could choose one
of the given synonyms. The hypothesis of the research is that the interchangeability depends
on the types of semantic relation within synonymic groups; synonymic relations are directly
organized. The important task of the research is to determine the role of collocation in the
choice of synonyms. MI (Mutual Information) is а special tool to measure the collocation
strength, it measures a relationship between two random linguistic items that are sampled
simultaneously. With the help of the Russian National Corpus data, MI is calculated for each
utterance. There are few types of synonymic groups with different semantic relations: centric,
middle asymmetric, and non-centric. These types are distinguished in my previous paper.
The centric synonymic groups have the headword (typically the headword is the most frequent
word); the middle asymmetric synonymic groups have two headwords, that are the core
synonyms; the non-centric synonymic groups have no headword. Directivity of synonymic
relations depends on the type of a synonymic group. It is possible to introduce three following
models: for the centric synonymic groups: subordinated synonym → headword; for the
middle asymmetric groups: subordinated synonym → core synonyms; for the non-centric
synonymic group: synonym → another synonym. As a result, it was shown that different contextual
features are significant (for example, the meaning of neighboring words, general utterance
sense) for the choice of synonyms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is dedicated to the narrative structure of the short story “Nika” by V. Pelevin. An
evident feature of the story is a game relationship with a potential reader. In the process of
reading anyone would believe that the heroine is a girl, but the last sentence reveals that she is the cat belonging to the main character. The main feature of the narrative structure is a “gap”
between the character, the narrator and the implied author (this gap is not so obvious because
of the first-person narration). The unnamed character unsuccessfully tries to understand
the inner world of his cat, because he wants to meet another vision of reality. The narrator
wants to take a look at the world in new ways too, but he realizes that his vision is limited
by the traditions of the Russian literature. So, the narrator tries to go beyond his own vision
by having a thought experiment. The narrator is the one who creates a text like a riddle: he
is hinting the correct answer to the potential reader, and at the same time, he is confusing
him/her, playing with the natural rules of speech construction. The character, the narrator
and the author faced a communication barrier, but the author doesn’t try to overcome it.
On the contrary, the author recognizes the equality of different points of view on the world,
understands the inevitability of such a barrier. The didactic author is cheating the real reader,
to teach him some of his own calm attitudes to the world, but to achieve this goal he creates
this gap between the narrative instances.

value:
The article presents the results of the research in the field of historical conceptology. The ways
of occurrence of pervosmysl (primary sense, primus movens) are shaped in the form of a prototype
andcollectively referred to as the conceptum (lat. conceptum ‘grain, embryo’), as the initial
concept (lat. conceptus ‘contains’), consistently forming a new form of image, symbol and idea.
The author distinguishes between three levels derived from the Latin: concipio ‘to collect, contain,
occur’ on the basis of pervosmysl the original proto-Indo-European “three-letter roots”
(E. Benveniste); conceptum identified as ‘grain’ of pervosmesl, сonceptus as a concept (sense),
conceptio as conception with the formation of the meanings of verbal signs, respectively prō
> pra (pervosmysl), pra-v with the extension consonant distributor -v- (prototype), with the
suffixes pra-v-ьd-a (symbol), pra-v-ьd-ьn with the final form pra-v-ьd-ьn-ost-ь, representing
the conceptual structure of the concept, which thus completed its formation. In the result of
phonetic transformations over the centuries, it is difficult to reveal the initial relationship,
for example, English man and Russian муж, language and язык. Pervosmysl can already distort
the perspective of understanding how this happened with the root prō > pra — change
direct perspective on the back (прадед in the past). Pervosmysl of conceptum connects far
divergent branches of the Indo-European languages, because only pervosmysl of conceptum
is unchanging and eternal.

value:
The article analyzes the corpus of the publications of the leading newspaper of pre-revolutionary
Siberia “Siberian Life”, dedicated to the school magazines of the region in 1916–1917. The
purpose of this work is to identify the specific “information support” of student journalism in
Siberia, carried out by the newspaper “Siberian Life” in 1916–1917. Such tasks as the identification
of the corpus of publications of the newspaper for the period 1916–1917 devoted to the
Siberian school journalism, an analysis of their content, an assessment of the genre-thematic
specificity of materials are being solved. The main research methods are the front-line study
of the contents of the newspaper “Siberian Life” for the period 1916–1917, a genre-thematic
analysis of the corpus of identified materials. The study shows that the information support and “information support” of the student press was carried out by the newspaper “Siberian
Life” in various forms. Firstly, this is actually informing readers about the intentions of new
publications, on their preparation, on the issue of numbers and on the content of issues. Secondly,
the newspaper published author’s detailed reviews devoted to the individual journals:
they detailed the subject matter of materials, assessed the artistic merits of works, defined the
role of journals for the school community, and understood the inner world of students. At
the same time, part of the reviews were of rather critical nature, since the editors considered
it necessary not only to welcome the appearance of new publications, but also to help them
in professional and artistic growth. Thirdly, the newspaper tracked information about new
school editions, reprinting notes about them from “friendly” periodicals. The study allows
talking about the activation of school journalism in Siberia in 1916–1917, which was due to
the socio-political situation in Russia.

Ways of conveying the properties of intertextual insertions when translating from English into Russian (based on the titles of episodes from English-language animated television series). Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Language and Literature, 2018, vol. 15, issue 3, pp. 412–423.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article reviews intertextuality — that is, a text’s ability to fully or partially form its meaning
by referencing other texts. First, it gives a brief overview of the basic theoretical framework
for researching this phenomenon, starting from the works of Julia Kristeva and Roland
Barthes. Afterwards, the author notes that the use of intertextual insertions from English
phraseology or widely-known works of literature creates opportunities for wordplay, as such
insertions tend to undergo structural and/or semantic transformation, which disrupts the linear
perception of the narrative, thus both making the audience aware that a different text is
being referenced and helping intertextual insertions perform their expressive function. This
particular study of intertextuality and its properties is based on material sourced from the
English-language television discourse. Therefore, it focuses on the fact that, as headings and
titles perform a special pragmatic function, preparing the audience for perceiving the text that
follows, intertextual insertions are often used in episode titles of English-language TV series,
including animated series, which allows to bolster the viewers’ interest by utilising wordplay
and appealing to background knowledge. From the translation studies point of view, however,
such intertextual insertions may present a challenge, as the phenomena they reference may not
bear any significance to speakers of foreign languages, such as Russian. Thus, the next issue
touched upon in the article is the translator’s choice of strategies that might help prompt an
equivalent reaction from the Russian-speaking audience. Such strategies may include searching
for a different text or language factor that might be meaningful to Russian speakers. As the
article reviews empiric material collected from animated television series, special emphasis is
given to the issue of taking into account the background knowledge of this medium’s specific
audience, which includes both children of various ages and adults.

The paper reviews recent developments in cognitive linguistics now that three decades, give
or take, separate us from the time it was born. The author claims that these developments have
not yet been brought together, nor contemplated at length. Both formal and substantial aspects
are identified, the former manifested by cognitive linguistics becoming yet more deeply
grounded in academic life and curricula across different countries. The latter are represented,
first, by further elaborations of classical works, which can be exemplified by manifold studies
in conceptual metaphor and metonymy, or lexical polysemy. Second, new trends have become
noticeable in recent years, in particular, a definite shift from theoretical concerns to practical
applications. This has given rise to the so-called applied cognitive linguistics concerned
mostly with second language acquisition and translation studies. Besides, cognitive linguistics
can be seen to have gone empirical, making close contacts with corpus linguistics. However,
the central development of contemporary cognitive linguistics, as posited by the author, is
its integration tendency. Rather than go on opposing itself to other schools and branches,
cognitive linguistics today seeks to become entrenched in traditional philological fields, such
as lexicography, stylistics, poetics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics, etc.,
enriching them with new ideas and approaches. The key intrigue is whether cognitive linguistics
will remain as such or get absorbed by other fields of study. Common theoretical
foundations shared by major classical cognitive works are certainly a uniting factor, but the
inherent heterogeneity of cognitive linguistics may tip the balance in favour of breaking down
into a number of smaller fields and groups of scholars. Be that as it may, cognitive linguistics
is undergoing changes that may be indicative of its further development.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The proposition that V. P. Petrov used to borrow formulas from M. V. Lomonosov’s odic poetry
has become generally accepted by literary critics since N. I. Novikov and his contemporaries.
But still there is no detailed description and classification of these borrowings. The article
focuses on the word and rhythmic-syntactic formulas in оdes by Petrov which traces back
to Lomonosov’s poetry. The data for study are iambic tetrameter panegyric odes written by
Petrov in 1766–1796. Four levels of probable borrowings are revealed: a single word, a combination
of words, a single poetic line, and a text fragment. When describing the formulas in the
single poetic lines, we analyze, following M. L. Gasparov, such phenomena as rhythmic cliché,
syntactic cliché, rhythmic-syntactic cliché and rhythmic-syntactic formula (cliché incorporating
recurrent lexicon). As a special form of borrowing we reveal Petrov’s poetic lines which
copy the poetic lines from Lomonosov’s panegyric odes. When describing the borrowings in
the text fragments, we show the examples when Petrov’s two adjacent lines correspond to Lomonosov’s
two adjacent lines, borrowings of rarely recognized Lomonosov’s rhymes, similar
big fragments of the panegyric odes which sometimes are in the same position in the text.
Special attention is paid to Petrov’s strategies of intertextual borrowings: the construction of
verse line from words of Lomonosov’s adjacent lines, preference of inversion, using synonyms
as a means of dissimilation. The described data show that Petrov in his panegyric odes reproduce
not only «ready-made» lexicon (words and word combinations) but also rhythmic and
intonation models and composition structures typical to Lomonosov’s odic verse.

dc.description.abstract

value:
During the last decade, two competing tendencies — globalization and national identity preservation
— produced a considerable impact on the English-speaking World. One of the consequences
of that process was a series of drastic changes that occurred in British English. It
became the leader of instability and variability of pronunciation standard among the Englishes
today. Various patterns of allophonic variation of intervocalic /t/ and its substitute with allophones
of other phonemes such as tap / flap and sibilants can be named among those changes.
The current perceptual study aimed at determining whether tapping / flapping and spirantization
cases can lead to phonological changes and variability of the corresponding word phonemic
pattern. 37 stimuli in VCV sequences that represented tapping acoustically similar to
/d/, flapping similar to /r/ and /l/, sibilants similar to /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /s/, /z/ were segmented from the
acoustic material. 8 realizations of the following phonemes /d/, /r/, /l/, /t/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /s/, /z/ were
included into the experiment as a control group. Consequently, 45 stimuli were included into
the perceptual study. A web-site was constructed to carry out the on-line perceptual experiment
and collect and analyze the obtained data automatically. The randomized tokens for
listening were uploaded and a questionnaire was published on the web-site. 16 native speakers
took part in the experiment performing a discrimination task. 272 answers were received
from the subjects to tap-and-flap-containing tokens. Among the responses, voiced consonant
interpretations prevailed over voiceless ones (86 % vs 14 %). 63 % out of 86 % were /d/ responses
and 13 % and 10 % were /r/ and /l/ responses correspondingly. 288 responses were obtained
for 18 tokens that included sibilants. Among them, only 29 % on average accounted for plosives
while 71 % accounted for fricative sibilants. Voiceless/voiced phonological feature and
consonant loci feature taken separately were discriminated correctly for 72 % of the tokens.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The literature approaches the first and second parts of the novel “Wretched Nicanor” as a
work based on the facts of the biography of the author and on the traditions of the Russian
and European literature. The central story of the novel is the story about the hero who saves
beautiful girl. The courtship of the hero represents a model of a courteous novel, but it is
expressed in the language of the sentimental literature. At the same time, the folk themes, images
and situations are used in the description of the love stories: the characters meet the true
and false helpers, they overcome obstacles; Aneta, like a bride in a fairy tale, is in a kind of the
world of death where she is waiting for the bridegroom; Nicanor has to take actions that are
interpreted as tests for the groom. Though the fairy-tale “code” is the basis of the plot, it is a
failure. For example, Anete is opposed to Eleanor, who is pretty and wise. Her function is to be
a rival and an assistant. Eleanor allows us also to see the comic episodes of Nicanor’s gallantry.
The fiance, the knight, the sensitive hero of sentimental literature, the adventurous hero of
the Greek novel — the author of “Wretched Nicanor” look for the literary forms adequate to
describe life. This search shows that the ready models have been experienced by the writer of
the late XVIII century as a form which is not able to describe and explain the endless process
of human being.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article touches upon the types of coherence in media discourse that mean how modern
media texts are connected with each other. The main attention is paid to the correlation between
coherence, hypertextuality and multimodality. The examples are taken from 100 articles of
English and German online issues, “The New York Times” and “Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung”, as they are among the most reputable and popular mass media around the world.
Moreover, regarding the elections in the USA in 2016 it becomes of interest to follow how this
remarkable event found its reflection in American texts, on the one hand, and in the European
non-English ones, on the other. The coherence between the media texts is provided mainly by
four types of coherence, such as local, global, hypertextual and multimodal coherence. Local
coherence is based on the consistency of subject and naming units, in this case the naming
units of the most important event become the base of the text and create the correlation
between media texts of different subjects and different issues, turning the local coherence
into the global one. Furthermore, the media texts are connected by extralinguistic means,
the hyperlinks and multimodal elements in particular. The hyperlinks and the multimodal
structure in a modern media text form the coherence of media with other network resources.
These can be relevant links to other news articles or irrelevant ones to adverts or social
networks providing greater possibilities to discuss an event within the online space. The new
and original approach presented in the article is in the integrated analysis of different types of
coherence in mass media on examples taken from two languages. Regarding this we deal with
media discourse as a widespread, multistructural and infinite phenomenon establishing solid
global coherence between all spheres of people’s life.

value:
This article deals with the problem of A. F. Pisemsky, who was considered as a Russian “eretic”.
His art biography is discussed in the article. The objectives of the work are determined by
the problem of Pisemsky’s art journalistic biography and Pisemsky’s journalistic evolution.
He was choosing between three magazines (“Moskvityanin”, “Sovremennik”, “Otechestvennye
zapiski”). This article studies the little studied Pisemsky’s novel “Thousand souls” (1858) about
the Russian journalists. His contemporaries recognized the real prototypes of the characters,
among them are A. A. Craevsky, M. P. Pogodin, I. I. Panaev. I found A. A. Craevsky, M. P. Pogodin,
I. I. Panaev, A. I. Herzen’s polemic pictures. In the subtext of the problem of the relations
between illiberal editor and honest critic, Pisemsky derives him from his idol — V. G. Belinsky.
The editor Pavel Nicolaevich is a mosaic building. He is a bundle of the negatives: illiberal, miserly,
immorality, corruption. Mosaic building excluded direct analogies. Culmination of the
literature plot is a controversy of Napoleon III. This polemic explained Pisemsky’s historical
views, religious beliefs, attitude to the revolution. Belavin (his possible prototype is Panaev) expresses radical views. The editor Pavel Nicolaevich expresses moderate views like Pisemsky.
I found a hidden quote in Belavin’s from Herzen’s public works (“From the other side”, “Letters
from „Avenue Marigny“”, “The development of revolution ideas in Russian”). Pisemsky argued
atheism and abstrastraction with Herzen. Pisemsky did not find an editor who he would
work with. As a result, Pisemsky chose Kraevsky.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article, we present the results of the regression analysis of near-synonymous words
list and catalog. The purpose of the case study is allocation of the most objective variant by
modeling the grammatical interactions that make impact on updating of the considered words.
Determination of list and catalog as objective and independent lexical units is performed
within the system of distinctions and oppositions. By the probabilistic distribution, we allocate
two most frequent interactions. The comparison of average values does not reveal regularly all
aspects of the studied phenomenon (i.e. average values of models can be statistically identical).
Therefore, we compare the models with predictors PRE.MOD and GENITIVE MEAN with
the model without interactions to show distinction between them at the level of dispersion.
Hence, three statistical hypotheses are compared in pairs. The main says that dispersions
of three considered models are statistically equal and the alternative affirms that they are
different. Model assessment without interactions is a predictive logit of list. Coefficients
of logistic regression reflect the probability of changes within interactions. At the stage of
normalization, we apply the model of the binary choice Hosmer—Lemeshow. Based on the
obtained results we decide whether it is necessary further normalization or not. We define
also the presence/absence of correlated samples among the considered predictors by lrm
function, which determines reliability of the model and allows receiving confidential intervals
of coefficients. This approach reflects novelty of work and allows revealing the factors defining
the choice of one or another concept proceeding from objective semantic criteria. Interactions
are considered at four levels: academic, spoken, fiction and news. Results of research allow to
complete the content of the words list and catalog and to present their dynamics.

The article analyzes the reasons, the course and  the results of the march of the detachments led by
Imam Shamil to the territory controlled by Kabardian princes Anorovs and naib Nur Ali to the vicinity of the
Daryal canyon in April 1846. The social processes in the region launched in the Central Caucasus region in
the 1820s by commander of the Separate Caucasian Corps A.P. Ermolov is also paid attention in addition to
the military-tactical aspect.
The social nature of the ruling groups in Kabarda (princes Anzorovs and other aristocratic families)
and the leaders of the movement for jihad in Chechnya and Dagestan (Imam Shamil and most of his naibs) is
considered. The author comes to the conclusion that both the class distinctions and the basic characteristics
of the social structure of Kabarda on the one hand, and of Chechnya and Upland-Dagestan, on the other,
caused  insuperable  subject  contradictions.  The  armed  confrontation  of  the  mountain  people  with  Russia
played a key role in shaping the prerequisites for Imam Shamil's efforts to unite with the Kabardian rulers,
and also extend his influence to the mountain communities of the ghalghai and kists that are close to the
Chechens. This attempt to unite the mountain peoples united and firm hand of the imam under the banners
of Islam was not successful. The lack of mass support for the movement headed by Shamil from the side of
ordinary Kabardians and Vainakh societies Aki and Tsori put Shamil and his naib in front of the prospect of
being surrounded by Russian troops. Only the skillful tactical decisions of the mountain commanders and the
relative passivity of the Russian command saved Shamil from the catastrophe. All this is understood on the
basis of a wide range of materials, including unpublished archival sources.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper discusses Syriac verse texts from the Ottoman period which are connected with
the history of the Chaldean (East Syriac Uniate) Church. They were composed by ‘Adbīšō‘ of
Gazarta, the second patriarch of the new Church (1555–1570), an outstanding literate, whose
legacy has been significantly neglected by researchers. The pieces discussed in the present paper
typify their very early samples epitomizing the beginning of this literary tradition that was
connected with the name of ‘Adbīšō‘ of Gazarta. They were devoted to the Popes of Rome, with
whom the young Chaldean Church had intensive contacts and whose supremacy it was in the
process of acknowledging. Until recently, scholars have lacked access to most of the numerous
textual corpora of this Church; as a result, research on these manuscripts had been confined
to their catalogue descriptions, printed in the early–20th century. Although they have never
been an object of detailed study so far, the short pieces discussed here, composed on various
occasions, contain important evidence for both the history of Syriac literature and the history
of the Christian Churches in this region. The names mentioned in the poems can be easily
identified, which would serve to date the texts to certain periods of ‘Adbīšō‘’s Church career.
The present paper is the first attempt of a detailed study and a critical edition of his poems
dedicated to the Roman Catholic Popes.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Despite the increased attention to the Dogon by anthropologists and ethnologists, there are
many “white spots” in the history and ethnography of this people. For example, not so long
ago it was believed that they speak six languages; then their number grew steadily, and now
linguists number already thirty Dogon languages, conditionally united in the family of Dogon
languages of the macro-family of Niger-Congo; it is possible that there are even more of them.
The history of migrations on the Bandiagara Highlands and the adjoining plains also remains
poorly understood. All existing hypotheses, one way or another, based on oral traditions (often
without specifying the informant and/or source). Only to a small extent are they based on
archaeological data. In addition to the “common Dogon” historical tradition, which states that
this people came to the Plateau around the turn of the 16th century, there are historical legends
of individual villages, their neighbourhoods and even families. They can be very different
from the ‘general’ version. From this point of view, two oral histories of the village of Endé are
of great interest. Based on the analysis of these legends, it is possible to draw with all possible
caution a preliminary conclusion that the Dogon country was populated in two stages: the
first one falling between the 10th and the 13th centuries, and the second between the 15th and
the 19th centuries. In all examined villages exists the same model of relations between the local
population and the aliens: the new group usurps political and military power and gives the old
population its clan name, but itself adopts its language and culture. Such relations designed to
prevent possible conflicts. The article based on an analysis of the Dogon oral history collected
during field research between 2015–2018.

value:
The United Arab Emirates are one of those Arabic countries where national literature of
modern type — which replaced Arabic medieval adab — came to existence as late as in
the 1970s. Nevertheless, among the earliest Emirati short-stories, most of which were based
on the principles of moralizing sentimentalism and romanticism, one could find samples of
mature realism (in Muḥammad al-Murr’s writings) and even of modernism (in Abdullah
al-Mirrī’s writings). In the 1980s along with the steady development of the realistic trend in
Emirati fiction, many writers turned to the aesthetics of modernism by abandoning in their
works the idea of objective reality, as well as clear plots, and concentrating instead on “internal”
states of the mind, in which the objective reality is oddly, subjectively transformed.
Moreover, some writers (Miryam Jum‘a Faraj, Su‘ād al-‘Arīmī, Ḥārib al-Ẓāhirī, Salmā Maṭar
Ṣayf) used a complicated language of narration, full of similes and metaphors typical for
Arabic poetry, as well as ornate lexical-syntactical constructions, reproducing thus a specific
style, which was named by scholars of Arabic literature “poetic modernism”. Besides, in some
Emirati short-stories of that time one can find features of magic realism (in ‘Abd al-Ḥamīd
Aḥmad ‘Abd al-Ḥamīd’s and Salmā Maṭar Ṣayf ’s works), absurdism (in Ẓabiyya Khamīs’s
works) and post-modernist parody (in Salmā Maṭar Ṣayf ’s works). The themes of Emirati
short-stories embrace Emirati local realities and problems, as well as general human and
philosophic subjects (in particular, in Bāsima Yūnis’s and Jum‘a al-Fayrūz’s writings). Some
key themes, such as the influx of foreign laborers and the nostalgia for the old patriarchal
ways of life, link Emirati short-story with other Arabic literatures of the Gulf, while giving it
a distinctive feature in the wider Arabic literary context.

This paper is about first Russian translation of Chinese classical confucianistic text “Da xue”
(“Great study”) by Dennis I. Fonvizin (1745–1792) — famous Russian writer, philosopher and
journalist in the 18th century. Despite Fonvizins translation of “Da xue” is a very popular
text and it is featuring in different scientific works, there still not special researches about his
translation. There were two appeals to make these analyses. First appeal was made by Alexey
L. Leontiev (1716–1786) student of Russian Orthodoxian mission in China, in introduction to
his own translation of “Da xue”. Second — by Artyom I. Kobzev- modern Russian sinologist
in his paper “Da xues destiny in Europe and Russia”. Purpose of this paper is in detailed analyses
of translation of “Da xue” by Dennis Fonvizin. Research is based on comparative analysis
of Fonvizin s translation, original Chinese text, French version of “Da xue” by Jesuit Pierre
M. Cibot (1727–1780), which was a source of translation for Fonvizin, and Russian translation
of “Da xue” by Alexey L. Leontiev. It is possible that Pierre Martial Cibo attempted to emphasize
didactical part of “Da xue” before Dennis Fonvizin translate this text into Russian. This
paper is a first special work about detailed analyses of translation of this text by D. I. Fonvizin.

value:
The article examines the processes of literary life in Central Asia in the second half of the 18th
century and the first half of the 19th century. On the basis of poorly studied original sources
the author describes the life, the oeuvre and individual peculiarities of poetic mastership of
the outstanding Tajik poetess Maknuna.The poetess’s real name was Mohlar, but she is mostly
known under her pen names ‘Maknuna’ (in Persian-Tajik verses), and ‘Nadira’ and ‘Kamila’
(in Uzbek verses). In her collected Persian-Tajik poetry (Divan) Maknuna expressed in poetic
language a state of sincere rapture toward her lover.The poets literary legacy is defined by considering
the number of ghazals in Persian-Tajik attributed to her and by conducting a qualitative
analysis of their subject matter: love lyric, devotion to the (yār) beloved, commentary
on affairs of state, ghazals dedicated to death of her beloved husband and governor, poems
condemning heaven, criticism of the mendacity of nobles and preachers, ethical observations
regarding correct usage of time, poems of loyalty, exultations on autumn in the poet’s homeland,
the place of poet in the society, and response-verses (nazira) typical of Persian-Tajik
literature. It has been shown that the literary the poet’s mastery lies in the use of traditional
poetic acts that amount to responses to classic Persian-Tajik literature. It has also been shown
that the masterpiece of the poet is in creating a literal image of the male beloved and that
the theme of love is considered to be the main art of Maknuna’s poetics and dominates her
oeuvre. In the Persian-Tajik Divan, Maknuna expressed in poetic language a state of sincere
