value:
The article presents the main results of the study of protective psychological mechanisms, namely,
coping strategies, psychological defense mechanisms in patients with dysthymia and their dynamics
in the process of therapy. To implement the objectives of the study, the following tools were used:
clinical scale self-report to examine the mental state. The comparative analysis of the patients with
dysthymia and healthy individuals, as well as of the patients with dysthymia before and after therapy
was conducted. As a result of completing the therapy, patients with dysthymia significantly reduced
indicators of SCL-90-R “somatization”, “interpersonal sensitivity”, “depression”, which may indicate
the reduction of distress arising from awareness of violations of the functions of the body, decreasing
the feeling of personal inadequacy and inferiority, as well as signs of fading interest in activities. As a
result of group cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy, the significant decline in the use of maladaptive
behavioral coping strategies and strengthening of adaptive behaviors was observed. In addition, patients
with dysthymia obtained more mature mechanisms of psychological protection, for example, in
their arsenal of behavior appeared “intellectualization” that allows one to analyze one’s thoughts and
actions, to engage in introspection. Refs 19. Tables 6.

This review examines clinical and pathophysiological aspects of internal organ diseases; in particular,
post-stroke heart and renal disturbances are discussed. Progression of cerebral-cardiac syndrome can
be described as the emergence of ischemic and arrhythmic changes because of autonomic imbalance
and catecholamine cytotoxicity in previously intact myocardium. Change in renal functional state can
be explained with activation of proinflammatory cytokines, the sympathetic nervous system, and also
hypothalamic-pituitary disturbances through the interaction of the nervous, endocrine, and autacoid
system. The article argues for the principal role of microangiopathy as a systemic process, taking place
in metabolic syndrome and resulting in polyorganic insufficiency with major dysfunction of the brain,
heart and kidney. Diagnostics of microangiopathy in one of these organs can predict stroke and other
vascular diseases. Refs 44. Table 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper attempts to reveal and identify a prerequisite for answering the two fundamental questions
of philosophy: that of being and that of truth. This precondition is viewed as a problem of demarcation
between evidence and construct, which is achieved in the process of doubting the being of an existent
or in intuitive experiencing the former. This brings about evident (truthful) statements about this being
and this existent, on the basis of which there are constructed (hypostatized) other forms of the existent.
Despite the fact that construct and evidence cannot be separated and do form a specific antinomy in
themselves, there is a way of building a scale for founding the distinction modification, whose ends
shall be occupied by ideal types, while the centre is given to the actual status quo. This status quo is
represented by four synthetic types of being. Our understanding of being as a relation between the
subject and the object, each and every agent of which can be experienced with enough evidence and be
constructed at the same time, leads us to shaping a regional ontology that encompasses both subjective forms (evidence of man and a construct of the society) and objective forms (evidence of nature and a
construct of the culture) of being.
Directness and certainty are the two key properties of evidence, whereas a breakup with them is
the characteristic of a construct whose goal it is to achieve practical solution of theoretical problems.
Constructs are the essential historical forms of culture such as reflection on being in the form of
values, theories and imagery; and also its transformation in the course of practical activity. A special
place in this praxis is given to a synthesis of reflection and transformation; i.e. performance that claims
to be able to create a simulated being that is more real than reality. Human history is the story of how
we rejected evidence in favour of constructs. This rejection, however, is at the same time rejection of
genuine human properties in favour of ephemeral ones. The goal of modern philosophy is interpreted
as that of freeing or clearing evidence from construct. Refs 12.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Fellowship of believers is one of the most important elements of spiritual life among the Baptists. Communication
practices within this religious movement have attained certain characteristics, a certain
form, specific traditions, ethical norms and values. The development of these special communication
practices, which are a factor of formation and development of any social group, helped this religious
movement to survive times of religious oppression and discrimination of believers in the Soviet community.
The government realized that religious organizations had a potential to become an influential force, and tried to destroy that special community by any means. Specifically the Soviet legislation on
cults called for tight control and limitation of relations within any community of believers and between
communities, in order to suppress the proactive attitude of “cult members”. However, despite the statutory
bar, many communities of believers practiced exchange of sermons, choirs, and worship groups.
Believers strived to meet regularly outside of church events. Social interaction was very common within
religious environment, but it was filled with the content that reflected the principles of their faith.
Believers of different religious denominations were very interested in building mutual relationships, in
order to stand against the aggressive atheism. That provided fertile ground for penetration of spiritual
practices from other Christian denominations, for example from Pentecostalism to Baptism. Consequently,
the pressure from the outside encouraged believers to look for other ways of collective communication
and interaction, that were aimed at strengthening and developing communities, despite
the negative consequences of the government’s interference with the life of religious groups. Refs 17.

value:
The article discusses the attitude of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church to the overthrow
of the Russian monarchy in 1917. Sources are mainly drawn from liturgical books, which were
fixed by the highest Church administration in March and April 1917. Corrections were made in respect
of the Imperial Acts of 2 and 3 March — the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II from the Russian
throne for himself and son — and the “conditional abdication” (pending the Constituent Assembly’s decision on the form of government in Russia) on the part of the Grand Duke (the uncrowned emperor?)
Mikhail Alexandrovich. Other corrections were made in connection with the transfer of power to
the Provisional Government.
March 3, 1917, Russia faced a “historic forkˮ in its historical path: be it monarchy, (with a real
chance to be constitutional, considering the vast social base supporting it) or be it a republic in one
form or another. Before the actual abdication of the Romanov Dynasty had taken place, the Synod
had essentially declared to have left the throne (“otsarstvovavshim”) and ordered instead of the prayers
for the Royal power the creation of commemorations of the “right faithful Provisional governmentˮ.
The legitimacy of regime change began to be inculcated into the socio-political consciousness of the
orthodox congregation as well the origin of the power of the Provisional government as “superior” and
the irreversibility of the revolutionary events themselves.
The respective actions of the members of Synod are explained in the mainstream of historicaltheological
problems of the “priesthood-kingdomˮ. The higher clergy sought to destroy, to overthrow
the tsarist regime as its “charismatic competitorˮ to be the only power possessing divine nature, in
order to prove its thesis that: “the priesthood is above the kingdomˮ, “the priesthood is eternal, divine
and immutable, and the realm of the earthly changeable, transitory and temporaryˮ. Overall, in the
period under review, the members of Synod acted as one of the component forces in the Russian
liberation movement. Refs 58.

The article deals with interconnection and close interlacing of religious and political issues in the
origin of the English Revolution. The author of the article shows the connections and interactions between
principal trends in English religious and political history in 16th and early 17th centuries. We also
examine the particular circumstances and the content of the political struggle between parliamentary
opposition and royal power during pre–revolutionary decades of 17th century, as well as the influence
of immediate pretexts arising from religious sphere for the beginning of the English Revolution.
The principal foundations for the revolutionary events of mid-17th century England are bound
together with the influence of religious Reformation. The gradual root-taking of Protestantism in
England led to much more active participation of more broad circles of people in social and political
life. Discussions of religious questions became the constant theme of proceedings of literally every
Parliament. The most important component of religious and political struggle in pre–revolutionary
England was the maintenance of reformed religion and defense from encroaching on it as a part of
popular freedom. The aggravation of the religious and political situation in England began in the
second half of 1620s and 1630s. A whole series of proofs demonstrates that during these years the
Parliamentary opposition saw the threat to preservation of Protestant religion in England in the
policy pursued by the ruling monarch Charles I Stuart (1625–1649), and in the actions of church
administration as led by William Laud (1633–1645), Archbishop of Canterbury, who ruled in church’s
affairs upon the monarch’s approval. Parliamentary opposition to royal power resorted to revolutionary
methods of action in the early 1640s and were moved by precisely religious assurance in Parliament’s
rightness. Refs 45.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the significance of PR campaigns in the course of the political struggle on the
eve of the February Revolution. Here we describe one example of a PR campaign against the Military
Minister V. A. Sukhomlinov. The authors demonstrate the role of A. I. Guchkov and M. M. Andronikov as
their initiators. The propagandistic texts which discredit V. A. Sukhomlinov are introduced into scientific
discourse and analyzed for the first time. The definition of ‘public relations’ and ‘propaganda’ is made. The authors explain the thesis of historian B. N. Mironov about using PR technologies in the Russian Empire’s
political struggles at the beginning of the 20th century. A. V. Evdokimov and F. A. Seleznev suppose
that the counter-elite of the Russian Empire used not propaganda in its struggle for power, which leads to
monologue, but PR technologies, which suppose a dialogue with society through the mass media on the
eve and during World War I. The authors analyze PR campaigns against Gen. Sukhomlinov as an element
of the broader information warfare waged by the counter-elite of the Russian empire against the monarch
and a section of the loyal elite finally resulting in the February Revolution. The role of the leader of the
Octobrists, A. I. Guchkov, and the newspaper ‘Vechernee Vremya’ in the organization of the PR campaign
for discrediting Col. Myasoedov in 1912 is also demonstrated. Also the role of Prince M. M. Andronikov
in the creation and distribution of information to discredit the Military Minister V. A. Sukhomlinov is
also proven by the authors. The identities of the assistants of Andronikov, which helped him to draw up
the anonymous letter about Sukhomlinov and other senior statesmen are uncovered. The authors prove
that A. I. Guchkov and M. M. Andronikov cooperated in the struggle against V. A. Sukhomlinov. The PR
campaign of 1912 had partial success. S. N. Myasoedov was dismissed but V. A. Sukhomlinov saved his
public post. The PR campaign of 1915 was successful because Gen. Sukhomlinov was dismissed. PR
technologies on the eve of February Revolution became more and more effective weapons of political
struggle. During the process of writing the article 35 bibliographical titles were used. Refs 39.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article argues that the First World War did not in itself create insurmountable objective
preconditions for revolution. In 1914–1916 the Russian economy succeeded in reorganizing itself and
mobilizing to meet the state’s military needs. Industrial output within the empire’s territory (excluding
Poland and Finland) increased by 22 percent in between 1914 4 and 1916, while labor productivity
rose by 8 percent. Agricultural yields declined between 1914 4 and 1916, with yields in 1916 lower
than those of 1909–1913 by 19 percent, but this reduced productivity was attributable to weather, not
to the war. Furthermore, despite this 19-percent decline in yields, the domestic demand for grain at the
national level was entirely met thanks to the prohibition in 1914 of alcohol distillation and grain export,
two activities that in 1909–1913 had consumed 24 percent of the net grain harvest. From 1914 to
1916 livestock numbers rose by 29 percent. The rail transportation system successfully handled increased
freight loads. In 1916, 52 percent more freight was transported than in 1914, and passenger
traffic grew by 30 percent; freight trains’ scheduled speed over the entire rail network rose from 14 to
16 versts per hour. The economy’s ability to adapt satisfactorily to wartime conditions was the product
of Russia’s successful modernization in the prewar period.
The overthrow of the monarchy changed the economic situation radically, and after the October
coup conditions worsened at catastrophic speed. It was the revolution that initially spawned the general
institutional crisis, which resulted in the paralysis or hampering of the functioning of public and private
institutions, industrial enterprises, transport, communal services, courts, and law enforcement, and then
in an all-encompassing economic crisis. Revolutionary parasitism — as one may designate the endless
demonstrations, parades, rallies, marches, and the like—which under new circumstances had acquired
the importance of prestigious revolutionary activity and was remunerated as if it were productive work,
served only to intensify the crisis and seemed like ‘fiddling while Rome burned’. Refs 56.

value:
The article discusses the problem of correlation between factors of organization and spontaneity
before and during the February revolution of 1917. Unlike his predecessors, the author believes it
methodologically incorrect to oppose these factors to each other, as in any revolution they are present
at the same time. The reason for interpretations of the February revolution as a purely natural event,
according to the author, is the artificial comingling of the concepts of “conspiracy”, “coup” and “revolution”,
which in reality are the stages of mainstreaming a holistic phenomenon. February 1917 was the
result of the activities of the Central Military-Industrial Committee (CMIC) and its Working Group and was a conspiracy, coup and revolution, presenting a mixture of organization and spontaneity. The
silence of the leaders of the February revolution as to its organized nature is explained by politics: first
of all was the necessity of using the myth of spontaneity for legitimation of the republican regime.
Subsequently, Soviet historiography has focused on the actions of the Bolsheviks, and foreign historiography
on the activities of non-Bolshevik social democratic groups. In this article, for the first time
in the historiography, special attention is devoted to the Working Group of the CMIC. It was these
affiliations as a mass labor movement: relief funds for the sick and trade unions, and workers cooperatives
controlled by the Working Group, that took to the streets of Petrograd on 23 February 1917 and
then engaged in further street demonstrations. These cooperatives were prepared with the consent of
the executives of the CMIC, A. I. Guchkov, A. I. Konovalov, and M. I. Tereshchenko. The peak of this
movement, a military uprising on 27 February 1917, was organized by the same non-partisan center
led by A. I. Guchkov.
It was he, using methods of mass and individual pressure on the monarch, who
forced the tsar to abdicate in favor of the Son of Tsarevich Alexey Nikolayevich, and of his brother,
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich. This fact contributed to the preservation of a compromise between
monarchists and republicans that ensured the victory of the revolution. Refs 82.

This article analyses the causes and consequences of mass population displacement in the Russian
Empire during the First World War and its immediate aftermath. The wartime refugee crisis in
Russia must be understood in broader conceptual and historiographical terms, to which the first part
of the article is devoted. There follows a discussion of the origins, scale and impact of the movement
of civilians from Russia’s western borderlands to the Russian interior, as it was understood by contemporaries
and as it has been reflected in the historiography. The article also considers the political implications
of the refugee crisis as manifested by the formation of governmental and non-governmental
organisations. One particularly significant development was the emergence of national committees
whose activities on behalf of ethnic minority refugees including Poles, Latvians, Jews and others, drew
attention to ideas of ‘national’ suffering and persecution under the Tsarist regime. The final part of the
article looks at the aftermath of the First World War, including the impact of the October Revolution
and Civil War, and the formation of the first international refugee regime under the auspices of the
League of Nations. The conclusion recapitulates the main points, emphasising the creation during the
war of the category of the refugee as an object both of bureaucratic and humanitarian concern. Refs 75.

value:
The year 1905 is marked in history as the beginning of the largest Armenian-azerbaijani ethnic
conflict affecting a number of cities in the South Caucasus. It should be noted that in the city of Baku
alone bloody clashes erupted three times in 1905: in February, August and October, killing thousands
of people. For many years it has been asserted that the authorities, with the help of the Azerbaijani and
Armenian bourgeoisie, organized the ethnic conflict of 1905 in order to distract the masses from embarking
on a revolutionary path. According to this argument, dashnaks, Pan-Islamists and Pan-Turkists actively participated in these provocations organized by the tsarist power. However, researchers
had not attempted in-depth historical analysis of the causes of the massacre. Therefore by asserting
no dogmatically postulated position, modern historiography may enjoy a wide range of possibilities
for the investigation of little–studied — or deliberately “forgotten” — subjects. First of all, thanks to a
wide range of archival and documentary sources that have been brought into scientific use, reinterpretation
and critical analysis, it is possible for a new approach to the problem of ethnic conflicts between
Azerbaijanis and Armenians in the early 20th century.
This article examines the issues related to actions undertaken by the imperial authorities during
the ethnic conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis in 1905–1906 in Baku. The article shows
the measures that had been taken to prevent further clashes, including earnest reconciliation of the
conflicting parties.The author sufficiently demonstrated the lack of any scientific basis for claims of
government responsibility for inciting interethnic conflict, as this argument served either particular
political or ideological purposes. This article explores the background of the actions of civil and
military authorities with regard to peace–building. Furthermore, particular emphasis has been put
on the factors that had prompted the ineffectiveness of the governing authority’s actions during civil
disorder. Special attention is given to the use of political measures, including repression, to prevent
further clashes. This article deals with Count I. I. Vorontsov-Dashkov’s activities as the governor of the
Caucasus which were aimed at bringing peace to the region during the difficult years of revolutionary
discontent and Armenian-Azerbaijani conflicts in particular. Refs 24.

This article analyzes the conceptual influence of the political parties of the English revolution of
the middle of the 17th century that made up an arsenal of groups (independents, levellers, republicans)
on the ideologists of political parties of the Tories and Whigs during the Stuart Restoration and early
Enlightenment. The idea of the divine origin of Royal power became сentral in early Tory ideology.
Many of them defended the absolute, unlimited form of the monarchy. More complex were the origins
of the ideology of the opposition. Early Whigs borrowed the main ideas first and foremost in the arsenal of so-called “silk” independents. Opposed to absolute monarchy, Whigs denied the divine origin of
Royal power. Their ideologues advocated a constitutional monarchy. Most Whigs saw the possibility
of limiting Royal power through the law. They allotted to Parliament the crucial role in constitutional
monarchy. Early parties were spokesmen for the ideology of the new bourgeois classes of society which
had begun to take shape after the revolution of the mid 17th century. The Tories rejected any attempts
to modify the existing form of government, because only monarchy was fully meet their requirements.
Whigs, expressing the interests of the bourgeoisie and the new nobility, fought against absolutism,
not intending, however, to abolish the Royal authority. The main ideas from the arsenal of the revolutionaries
was later adopted by the ideologues of political parties in the age of Enlightenment, though
enlightenment had condemned the revolution and has been at pains to deny any continuity or connection
with the levellers, the independents and their followers from the Restoration period. Theories
of social contract, constitutional monarchy, separations and balances branches of the power, resistance
to tyranny, protection of private property, personal and civil liberties, were not only included in the
arsenal of early political parties of the 17–18th centuries but also formed the basis for a model of liberal
democracy which was to become widespread in the modern world. Thus the influence of the English
revolution of the middle of the 17th century in the ideological plan was more significant and long-term,
than the Glorious Revolution of 1688–1689. Refs 21.

This review essay focuses on the new monograph by S. A. Smith Russia in Revolution: An Empire
in Crisis, 1890 to 1928 (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2017). As a leading expert in the social history
of the Russian Revolution of 1917, Smith provides a comprehensive political, social, and cultural
narrative of one of the central events in the global history of the twentieth century. Directed at a
general readership, the book offers an excellent overview of existing Russian and Western scholarship,
outlines the main course of events, introduces most important actors, and contains thought-provoking
conclusions about the revolution. As seen from the title, Smith takes a longish view on the political
rupture and includes a comprehensive analysis of social and political life of the Russian Empire, a
brief overview of the First Russian Revolution (1905–1907) and the economic and political crisis of
the First World War (1914–1918) before discussing the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Russian Civil
War, and the period of the New Economic Policy (NEP). The book’s conclusion is a comprehensive
essay attempting to comprehend the revolution and its consequences as a whole. As a nuanced social,
political, and cultural history, Russia in Revolution: An Empire in Crisis, 1890 to 1928 outlines the
Revolution of 1917 as a tectonic shift which cannot be reduced to a simple change of the elites in the
Russian imperial formation. Smith’s brilliant work will be invaluable for the students of history, both
in Russia and abroad, and all those who are interested in global history in general and the Russian
Revolution in particular. Refs 27.

There are well-known examples of documents in the history of Great Britain, which have become
momentous for the history of nations: these include the English Magna Carta, Scottish Declaration
of Arbroath and Irish Statutes of Kilkenny. Their historic significance was not realized at the time
of their creation, nor was their crucial role in the process of the formation of ethnic and national
communities. The history of the “mythologization” of the Protestation of 1641 spanned a quite short
period, but was intense. The creation and recording of the Protestation, its acceptance by Parliament,
the King’s reaction to it, and the signing of its English and Welsh versions in provincial parishes as “the
national oath” took place between 1641 and 1642. The text was almost immediately raised to the rank
of the foundations of the “Godly cause”, and, consequently, to the rank of a key text/event of the Great
Rebellion. The book Covenanting Citizens. The Protestation Oath and Popular Political Culture in the
English Revolution by J. Walter [Walter 2017] is by no means the first study dedicated to the content
and existence of the Protestation of 1641. Such renowned British researchers as Ch. Hill, B. Manning,
D. Underdown and others formed an extensive tradition of studying the text in the context of political
radicalization of the Great Rebellion. On the basis of a wide range of sources — Parliamentary
journals and numerous memoirs — the book reconstructs the causes and motives for the initiation of
the Protestation (April 1641) and the process of its discussion (3 and 4 May). A comprehensive picture
restored by the author of the monograph generally demonstrates that, despite the evident loss of
mutual trust between the monarch and members of the House of Commons and the fear of a royal or
popish revolt, the Parliament in 1641 acted within traditional framework: the search of a constitutional
compromise. Refs 11.

This article contains some response to critics who have written about the author’s book “Mirrors
and the Chimeras. On the emergence of an Old Russian State”. These articles were written by
P. I. Gaydenko and V. V. Puzanov. The author of the article and of the book is grateful for the high
estimation of some aspects of his research and sees some weak sides of the book himself. For example,
he could not take into account all works by foreign historians. The matter is that the material related to
this subject matter is enormous and is dispersed among different and rare publications. Searching out
relevant works must continue in the near future, but for this purpose great efforts are necessary. First
of all, the author attempts to give answers which he calls peripheral problems. He means the title of his
book, the language, and the images which he uses. All this represents an effort to make his work more
interesting to his readers; but images also carry semantic value. The author has not the opportunity
to argue historical problems, because for this reason one has to mobilize other works of the author, all
his complex conceptions in a work of historiography. But anyway the author persists in his opinion
on these historical problems. The main task of his book was to study the adventures of a “democratic
path” in Russian polito-genesis. The author notes that the critics agree with his main idea and with
his division into periods of Russian historiography. They criticized the author’s manner of conducting
polemics. In this article the author attempts to explain his approach. Refs 16.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article reinterprets the alleged “utopianism” of Russian revolutionaries, especially the Bolsheviks,
through the prism of an alternative definition of the utopian imagination developed only after
1917 — especially in the work of Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno. This alternative
definition of utopia is as a critical analysis of conventional constructions of reality, time, and the possible.
This is utopia as critical negation of that which merely is in the name of what should be, as a radical
challenge to assumptions about what is possible and impossible in the present, as a vision of time and
history as containing the possibility of an explosive “leap in the open air of history” (Benjamin). Utopian
consciousness breaks into the normativized world of knowledge and expectations about reality
and possibility in history to reveal the new and unexpected. This is utopia as radical epistemology,
hermeneutics, and praxis.
In this article and two following, this alternative definition is concretized in the Russian revolution
through three individuals: Alexandra Kollontai (in the present article), Lev Trotsky, and Vladimir
Mayakovsky. Of course, like all Marxists, they denied they were “utopians”. Which was accurate only
by the definitions they had available to them at the time. However, in the utopian mode, they refused
to accept the arguments of those who warned that a leap toward the “kingdom of freedom” was utopian
fancy. They devoted their lives to the negation of that which merely is. They disturbed what Bloch
called the “darkness of the lived moment”, in order to smash the barrier holding back the “ocean of
possibility”.
Kollontai articulated a moral and historical vision of a radically alternative self and society created
through experience and applied this both to women’s intimate lives and to workers’ struggles
for “freedom”, “self-activity”, and “creativity.” She explored the possibility of a communist society that
would allow humanity to leap across the “zapovednyi rubezh” (forbidden border) of normative economic
laws and necessity into a world of freedom. Refs 43.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the years leading up to the American Civil War, the South was sensitive to state rights, focusing
particularly over the issue of slavery. After secession, and with the formation of the Confederate
States of America, the governors were viewed, in part, as defenders of state rights. For the first year of
the war, both the governors and the president of the Confederacy cooperated extensively in an effort
to win the war. But that would change in April 1862 with the passage of the first conscription statute by
the Confederate government. This article examines the reactions of the Confederate governors to that
measure. As the first conscription law in American history, its passage elicited significant opposition
within the Confederacy. The governors’ responses varied, from refusal to recognize any constitutional
infringement of a state right, to recognizing a potential violation but delaying a response until after
the war, to outright hostility and interference with the law’s implementation. Passage of this law led to
the governors, as a whole, moving from a phase of cooperation with the central government to one of
a negotiated federalism, leading to conflict over competing resources (e.g., draftees) for the defense
of the nation as well as the states. This paper challenges the current historiography asserting that the
Confederate national government was the most centralized national government in America until the
New Deal in the 1930s by suggesting that the state governors carved out appropriate constitutional
authority and responsibility during the exigencies of fighting for the nation’s independence. Refs 29.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines the special character of the revolution of 1848/49 in Germany. The focus
lies on the perspective of contemporaries to the events. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Period
were the defining, mostly negative, experiences for the generations who were active in 1848. The
ideas of 1848 arose in a pre-industrial, harmony-oriented civil society. The constitution demanded in
1848 was therefore not aimed at the legalization of a modern division of state and society, but it wanted
a state-formation at the national level based on the idea of the Aristotelian societas civilis. The numerous
conflicts of the revolution, social and national conflicts, and even the political division into democrats
and liberals, were not weaknesses of the revolution. It was rather the lack of readiness for conflict
which led to the failure of the revolution. From the point of view of the contemporaries the revolution
failed, but the modernizing impulses of the revolution went on to shape further development. Refs 25.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study represents reflection on a recent publication of articles by the renowned Irish historian
Brendan Bradshaw “’And so began the Irish nation’: nationality, national consciousness and nationalism
in pre-modern Irelandˮ dedicated to the issue of national consciousness and nationalism in
early modern Ireland. Bradshaw’s materials are concerned not only with local Irish questions, but also
with the debate between ethnosymbolists and modernists about the roots of nation and nationalism.
Bradshaw proves, rather convincingly, that the early Modern period was the defining time for the subsequent
development of identity processes on the island. He highlights the institutional factor of the
formation of the idea of the Irish nation. It was the emergence of the kingdom of Ireland in 1541 within
British composite monarchy and the rising level of political consciousness of English elites in Ireland
that enabled manifestations of the idea.
However, there are certain imperfections of the methodological nature in the collection, which is
hardly surprising, since the materials are republished and do not correspond to the current scholarly
experience of humanities. Having formulated a vague definition of nationalism as ‘patriotically
inspired commitment to upholding the freedom, identity and unity of one’s nation’, the Irish historian
attempts to find it in the examined period, thus endowing personalities of the 16th and 17th centuries
with a level of political thinking which is characteristic of the Modern age. Bradshaw’s perception
of the texts is quite straightforward since he considers them to be representative of group ideology
and ignores their individuality. The fragments of the text provided by him are sometimes interpreted
literally on the basis of the context of the period without the recourse to discourse analysis. As the
result of such a reading of sources, the identity processes of early Modern time are represented in an
overly simplified way. The author of this paper tries to demonstrate which factors impeded formation
of nationalism in the examined period. Refs 38.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the Glorious Revolution in England in the context of usability of definitions
“the revolution” and “glorious”, and examines characteristic features of the causes of the revolution,
its contradictions, and also the relevance of dating these events. It was shown that initially a “revolution”
was synonymous with reaction in the modern sense, and only the events of 1688–1689 listed
this word in the political dictionary. The authors conclude that the Glorious Revolution became the
first revolutionary event for England, actualized the term “revolution” itself and fixed perception of its
positive role by the concept of “gloryness”. Authors also depict the destructive role of James II, whose
truly revolutionary reforms were not supported by the society and caused the change of power known
as the Glorious revolution, thus having a conservative features, not typical for revolutions in modern
sense. An important feature of the Glorious Revolution was the lack of a broad ideological base, it also
had not the aim of creating a new type of society, but only ensured the restoration of the old order. The
article demonstrates that the events of 1688–1689 did not solved all problems, and have continued a
political discourse concerning a balance of Parliament, the monarchy and the Church in the kingdom,
that allows one to speak about the chronological openness of the Glorious Revolution, in which the
events of 1688–1689 can be see as its decisive point along with a post-revolutionary settlement that
continued for decades. The Revolution laid the agenda for its contemporaries, setting the general direction,
but not the dogmatic path, of national development. Refs 38.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article considers how imagery and description are stylistically revealed in a series of traveling
sketches “Love — Kamchatka” by V. M. Peskov: how colours, sounds and odours of real world are lexicalised
by the journalist. The article reveals that sketches are saturated with words denoting colours
or sounds. The colour lexicon mainly represents nuances and mixtures of colour, rather than spectral
colours, and it is also often metaphoric. The sound lexicon is also variable: statistically, the sounds of nature (organic and inorganic) and civilisation sounds (people and engineering) account for more
than 50 words. In both lexicons, we can see the words of “zero” designation: colourlessness and soundlessness.
Although the Kamchatka sketches keep a relative balance between colour and sound designations,
in some texts, however, one group of words can dominate over the other. The odour lexicon is
quantitatively insignificant, mostly due to the fact that odour, once mentioned in the text, remains in
memory of reader (smell of smoke around the erupting volcano) or is meant a priori, by means of stylistic
reticence (bonfire’s smell of smoke). At the same time the semantic potential of the odour lexicon
is enormous and it allows to reveal six contextual functional subsets of people, animals and volcanoes.
The features of journalistic story, primarily seen as dynamic, rhythmic and underlying pragmatics of a
travelling sketch, sometimes tend to slow down the process of reading, make a reader immerse himself
into narration and stimulate his/her imagination. Refs 17.

title: Histoire croisée of «Slavic reciprocity»

dc.contributor.author

value: Belov, Mikhail V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The model of cultural transfer, which came from comparative literary studies, is now applied to
a wide range of borrowings (adaptations) of institutions, ideas and practices. In other words, the dissemination
of the new term in the spirit of the theory which explains it should be seen as the result of intersectoral
and transnational transfer. In addition, its propagandists note the difficulties in adapting of the borrowing
in the Russian scientific tradition. The migration of the term beyond literary criticism led to different
interpretations. The theoretical grounds of the transfer model differ in terms of the recognized conflict and
hierarchy of the cultural space, as well as its dependence on economic (political) dominance. Differences are
revealed in comparing the cultural transfer with adjacent theoretical constructions (the ideas of Y. M. Lotman,
P. Casanova, F. Moretti). «Slavic reciprocity» in the light of such a paradigm can be viewed as a result
of a multidirectional transfer (and I. G. Herder became the most significant adapter) or a number of re-inventions.
This complicated understanding of the dynamics of multiple processes corresponds more closely to
the «histoire croisée» (intertwined, intersecting, related history). In the second part of the article the author,
relying on A. N. Robinson’s comparative study and some amendments to its methodology, demonstrates the
probable sources of the Herder’s Slavic characterology. They are found in the Slavic historiography of the
late Renaissance, Baroque and early Enlightenment, when there already was an intensive interchange. As
shown in the article, institutional initiatives of Kollar’s «literary reciprocity» also relied on that available,
rapidly spreading and mutated experience.

In the 1960s, national consolidation of society became one of the most important directions in
the internal policy of socialist Yugoslavia. And at that time the project of eliminating national differences
and turning all the peoples of Yugoslavia into a single «Yugoslav nation» for national peace and equality
began to be implemented. Josip Broz Tito himself propagated a new identity in official speeches.
However, in the 1980s this project failed because of the activities of the Serbian national intellectual opposition
and because of the long struggle of the Union of Communists of Yugoslavia and the Union of Communists
of Serbia with «Great Serbian nationalism and chauvinism». Against the backdrop of the systemic
crisis that hit the SFRY in the 1980s, in the Republic of Serbia (as in other republics) the movement towards
national self-determination prevailed. The failure of the project of create a Yugoslav nation became one of
the most important causes of wars in the territory of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on a range of the conjunctions of purpose in the Bulgarian language throughout
its history: in Old Church Slavonical / Old Bulgarian, Middle and Modern Bulgarian and Bulgarian
language today. The system of conjunctions in Bulgarian has dramatically changed. Old Bulgarian conjunctions
with a polysemantic meaning are not presented in the modern language. They were replaced by the conjunctions which were formed much later — in the Modern Bulgarian period. Among them
are conjunctions of purpose.
One of the most frequently used conjunctions in modern Bulgarian is a conjunction da, which, if
compared to its Old Bulgarian variant, has widened its range of usage as a subordinate conjunction as a
result of a gradual displacement of the infinitive forms by the so-called da-construction: a syntactically
connected combination of da and the verb in the Present Tense. All the modern conjunctions of
purpose in the Bulgarian language have been formed on the basis of da: a conjunction of purpose za da
and conjuctions che da, ta da, (za) da ne bi da, which contribute additional meanings to the sentence.
Based on the literary texts, the article reveals semantic and structural features of the sentences of
purpose in modern Bulgarian, especially those with the da-constructions. It is shown that in the clauses
of purpose — even in those that are joint by the complex conjunctions — da-construction imposes
modal and temporal restrictions on the form of the predicate of the subordinate clause. As a rule, the
verb is in the Present Tense and Indicative Mood. The forms of the Imperfect or Narrative mood can be
seen rarely. Conjunction-particle da, even as a part of complex conjunctions, retains some structural
features typical for da-construction in the contemporary language. Da tends to accompany the verb,
which results in the position of some elements of the subordinate clause in front of da and thus in the
separation of the complex conjunctions, except za da. Refs 28.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In Basque, absolutive, ergative and dative NPs can be relativized, cf. egin dudan etxea ‘the house which
I built’. Other arguments are less accessible to relativization, though sometimes it is possible. In our
paper, we analyze translation strategies that enable us to avoid the typological constraint in question.
The study is based on four Old Basque translations of the New Testament from Spanish and French
Basque Country.
The basic strategy (suffix -n used for prepositional relative clauses) is indeed rarely observed with
oblique cases. The relative pronouns zein ‘which’ and sometimes non ‘where’ are often used instead,
especially when relativizing genitives.
Instead of a relative construction two independent clauses can be used as a rare strategy. Another
translation strategy is omitting the relative clause. It is extremely marginal, most probably because the
translator deals with a sacred text, therefore such an omission can be accounted for as an accidental
error. Finally, to avoid the relativization of an oblique NP it is possible to reformulate the original
sentence using a core case instead of an oblique one.
Some of the relativization strategies observed in the Old Basque translations are well-attested
cross-linguistically. Refs 21.

The study of the history of University education in Russia is one of the most important and
actively developing direction in modern Russian historiography. Special importance in the context of this
kind of research have the works of L. P. Lapteva (2005 and 2012), dedicated to the history of Slavonic
studies in Russia in the 19th – the first third of the 20th century. The specific of the Slavic specialization in
the University educational process and the history of Slavonic studies in Russia analyzed by researcher in
detail. However, a number of issues that are of direct relevance to the teaching and research activities of the
St. Petersburg Slavic scholars, requires more detailed study. The important fact to note is that the state of
historiography and archival collections testifies to the insufficiency of elaboration of the creative heritage
of Slavic scholars such as P. I. Preuss or V. I. Lamansky. Besides that still out of sight of historians are, for
example, the printed works of N. I. Kareev, devoted to Polish history, which can not be analyzed outside the
context of Russian-Polish scientific contacts. When setting problems in the study of the history of the St. Petersburg Slavic studies separately should be said about the necessity for special study of works created
by members of the interdepartmental Slavic sector, which successfully operated on the historical faculty of
Leningrad University since the late 1950s. Among other things, the priority tasks of modern Slavic studies,
including the history of Slavonic studies, should include the revision / rethinking of some key concepts that
the Slavist and historian of Slavonic studies currently operate, without which there is hardly possible a more
adequate understanding of past and present Slavonic studies.

of these territories. Despite refined and interdisciplinary research methodologies referring to the German-
Slavic territorial overlap, national perspectives prevailed even until the post-war era after 1945. Among
those notions that changed the perception of the German-Slavic interactions in East Central Europe was
the concept Germania Slavica with a focus on medieval history during the German expansion towards East
Central Europe.
This paper discusses, whether the research on the history of East Central Europe with a focus on mutual relations,
on ethno-cultural substrate and migration, and on transfer and adaptation can be expanded towards the
mid-20th century. The notion of Germania Slavica would thus be accompanied by the concept of Slavia Germanica.
Arguments in such a direction refer to the fundamental change of the social and cultural situation as
German vs. Slavic cultural substrate and Slavic vs. German migration. Despite the obviously different political
framework and the time gap of several centuries, one might argue that perspectives on interactions and
adaptation are comparable and can on the basis of their respective methodologies contribute to a scholarly
interpretation of social and cultural processes in Polish and Czech regions.

title: Treatment of the notion of «Russians» and Russian conservative thought (1860–1917)

dc.contributor.author

value: Ivanov, Andrey A.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes and researches into the views of Russian conservators and nationalists of the
second half of the 19th – the early 20th century on one of the most important aspects of the national question —
«Russian question». The author attempts to characterize the ideas of the most prominent representatives of
the pre-revolutionary conservative camp (M. N. Katkov, K. N. Leontiev, A. A. Kireev, V. M. Purishkevich,
N. E. Markov, M. O. Menshikov etc.) about criteria of the notion of «Russians» and its content. Based on
many sources, particularly under-reported publications in the pre-revolutionary press as well as studies
of the foremost present-day academic specialists in the Russian conservatism and nationalism, the author
provides a variety of opinions on the notion of «Russians» existed in Russia in the late-imperial period. The
author proves that the representatives of the conservative camp, though not having a unified position about
boundaries of the notion of «Russians», by and large were alien to the primitive ethnic nationalism. The
notion of «Russians» was never limited to the concept of «Great Russians», but by absorbing it, was comprised
of a significant number of subjects of the Russian Empire who identified themselves with the Russian
culture. Even those among Russian conservators and nationalists who restricted the right of affiliation with
Russian people only by Great Russians, Little Russians and Belarusians, did not deny the possibility of widening
the criteria of the notion of «Russians» for account of the representatives of other ethnic groups who
blended into Russians. Therefore, even within the most narrow interpretations of the notion of «Russians»
the conservators of the second half of the 19th – the early 20th century never reduced it to the principles of
ethnic purity, blood ties or racial-biological criterion, alien to the orthodox tradition.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The teaching of Slavic History in Romania has a tradition of over one century. It started
systematically with the opening of the first chairs of «Slavic Philology» at the Bucharest and Iaşi Universities
(Professors Ioan Bogdan, Ilie Bărbulescu) in 1891, respectively in 1905. Since then, Romanian universities
have always had chairs and departments of Slavic Studies and Slavic History. At the University of Cluj, a
Chair of Slavic and South-East-European History was founded in 1919. Today, Slavic languages, cultures
and literatures are taught at Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj, at the Faculty of Letters. At the Faculty of
History and Philosophy of the same university I have been teaching a course entitled «Slavs and Slavonism
in Romanian History» since 2005. My paper will discuss the cultural context for teaching Slavic history,
language and cultures in today’s Romania, as well as several concrete teaching approaches I have adopted
in this area. The students’ cultural and educational background is important: it is an interesting consequence of a larger cultural context and the teacher must adapt his discourse to it. I will also discuss the topics of the
lectures, their structure, the sources we discuss in the seminars, and the literature offered to the students for
reading.

functions of narrator or on the semantic functions of unreliability. The article shows how unreliability
can be used to create both “open” texts with intradiegetic narration, such as short stories by R. Akutagawa,

title: Possibilities to have the Slavic Identity preserved and strengthened under the circumstances of the Slavic countries dissolution (on the example of Montenegro’s regained independenc)

dc.contributor.author

value: Raspopovic, Radoslav M.

dc.description.abstract

value:
It has been found that the end of the Cold War conflicts and the victory of liberal democracy and
market economy models negatively affected the Slavic cultural identity values, through the process of the
creating new nation states originating after the collapse of the USSR and the dissolution of both the former
Soviet Empire in the Eastern Europe and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The new nation
states, which originated at that time, were created on the principles contrary to their up-to-then historical
traditions that had emerged from the Slavic cultural values-based elements. Besides, the attention has been
given also to the globalization process consequences, previous advent of the global information technology revolution, i. e. the creation of new purported networked societies. Eventually, the foregoing processes outcome
was that creating new nation states induced the change in their respective earlier internal systems of
social values. Instead of the Eastern Orthodox and Slavic culture, the West became: «…the only true region
to take as the model». The new states’ political efforts essence — specifically «joining Europe» and the drift
from the Eastern Civilization values — has been illustrated by the example of Montenegro whose identity
values had for centuries been unquestionably Slavic. Nevertheless, in the commenced EU integration and
the NATO membership, while through the internal nation identity strengthening process as a way to drift
from both the Serbian culture corpus and the Eastern Civilization, the said values started to gain the elements
of modernity the development of which will inevitably be furthered by «joining Europe». Only time will
tell to which extents Montenegro’s earlier Slavic identity and the Western Civilization value system will be
preserved and accepted respectively.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper explores some issues of public e-services perception by Russian citizens. Based
on the modern literature, we construct a hierarchical model of public e-services (PeS) adoption.
We argue that the coexistence of public services provision in the traditional format with
electronic one represents the nowadays specifics of PeS adoption in Russia. Thus PeS is
actually not an integral part of the public services delivery process. The research is based
on the authors’ survey of the St. Petersburg Portal of Public Services and up-to-date techniques
of data analysis. We demonstrate that the Russian customers of public e-services
indeed do not perceive as a part of the integral process of public services provision. The
article concludes with special recommendations on further PeS delivery process development
and improvement.

The article focuses on a novelistic genre which is considered by some critics communicatively limited
due to its written/printed form. In order to refute this point of view the author moves beyond the
notions of orality and literacy towards the notion of mode borrowed from discourse analysis and
transferred into narratology. The analysis of Thomas Nashe’s significant but underestimated “The Unfortunate
Traveller” demonstrates how fiction narrative can model a communicative situation which
presupposes simultaneous actions of writing-reading and speaking-listening. This double mode allows
narration to overcome the limitations of fiction genre. The conclusions touch upon functioning of oral
and written modes both in Nashe’s picaresque and within work of fiction in general. Refs 26.

title: Ethnogenesis of the Slavs in the Polish Historical Reflection of the 20th–21st century

dc.contributor.author

value: Grzesik, Ryszard

dc.description.abstract

value:
In my paper, I describe the discussion on the ethnogenesis of the Slavs in the Polish historiography.
The interest to the origins of the own community is strongly connected with the historical way of thinking and was not alien to the founders of the Antic civilisation: the Greeks and the Romans. This way of thinking
was taken over by the «Barbarians», who tried to prove their participation in the world of Antic civilization
and inherited by the medieval and modern intellectuals. The development of the critical historiography
chronologically overlapped with the birth of modern nationalisms. It determined the ethnogenetical
discussions, which had the old task to glorify the own nation and to give the arguments in the conflicts
on disputed territories. The Polish discussion on the Slavic ethnogenesis with participation of historians,
archaeologists, philologists, anthropologists and ethnologists stood in shadow of the conflict with the
Germans on the «historical rights» to the (West-Polish / East German) territories of Great Poland, Pomerania,
Silesia, Mecklenburg, Lusatia. The Indigenous conception of the ethnogenesis of the Slavs dominated in
the discussions, according to which it were the Polish lands which were the cradle of Slavs and a basis for
the Slavic expansion to the greater part of Europe. This conception with some changes and nuances still
prevails mainly in the discourse of the humanists from Poznań and Wrocław. The Allochtonic conception
was developed in research centre of Cracow and is now popular also among the Slavists from Warsaw and
Lublin. According to them, the Slavs originated in the Dnieper basin and Polesie and expanded to Central
Europe only in the 6th century. The present-day discussion is dominated by the disputes between the supporters
of both groups, which are often full of personal emotions, which make the consensus almost impossible.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper promotes a hypothesis about a former Greek-Albanian symbiotic society in the krahina
Himara in South Albania, where the Greek and Albanian languages and cultures coexisted. It discusses
lexicon and spontaneous narratives in the previously uninvestigated Greek dialect of Palasa village,
reveals typologically rare and not well-studied non-dominant bilingualism, equal and additional functional
distribution of Greek and Albanian, code switching and language hybridisation.
Evidence of additional distribution of Greek and Albanian in Palasa was found in the vocabulary
of the traditional calendar, narratives, dialogues of the pan-Balkan “The Legend of the Old Lady
March” and language for mourning the dead. As for the calendar, the data indicates the consolidation
of the Greek language as the primary means of storing the knowledge, its transmission, and communication
in the Orthodox Christianity, whereas the Albanian language exhibits a fixed function of disseminating
the traditional Balkan folk mythological motifs and official Albanian state calendar. In the
narrative of “The Legend of Old Lady March”, which has been told in Greek, the switch into Albanian is
indicative when the legendary protagonist insulted the month of March (Dhjefsha buzё marsit! “I wish
to defecate in front of March!”). The swearing in Albanian is a direct indication of the first language of
the female ancestors of our consultants, who possibly borrowed the whole narrative from Albanian to
Greek. Mourning the dead is not a well-studied phenomenon. The women of Palasa, who generally did
not speak Albanian, mourned their dead in that language and knew the words “by ear”. The phenomenon
of hybridisation (or fusion) is acknowledged on the lexical level in traditional anthroponomastics
and with regard to the system of naming months, where we see Albanian month names like Shkurtish,
for ‘February’ (instead of a reflex of Greek Φλεβάρης). Still, the functional load is distributed equally
according to the general equal communicative competence of speakers in both languages in specific
subcategories of the lexical system, e.g. in the names of body parts. Refs 95. Fig. 1. Table 1.

value:
To date, most research on leadership has been focused on impact of transformational leaders
on employee attitudes, behaviors, and performance. Much less attention has been given to the
antecedents of transformational leadership behaviors. This article bases on follower-centric
perspective of leadership. We examine subordinates’ and supervisors’ personal characteristics,
work-related perceptions and attitudes, and observed managerial practices as predictors of
transformational leadership. Empirical analysis uses a obtained from a standardized survey of
112 employees from two organizations (in IT and manufacturing). Our results revealed that supervisors’
transformational leadership is significantly predicted by subordinates’ agreeableness
(“big five” model), perceived justice of performance-based payments and career promotions, and
practices of professional training and implementation of employees’ initiatives. Among these,
perceived justice of performance-based promotions showed the highest relative importance for
predicting supervisors’ transformational leadership.

most important mechanism of corporate governance. The paper provides the definitions of the
board of directors’ intellectual capital and its two elements, human capital and social capital.
The latter concepts are based on the dynamic approach. Based on literature review of empirical

The revival programs of minorities provide a distinct contrast to the folk revival that has become part

national heritage. The subject of this paper, the Pomaks of Bulgaria, are an unofficial, unrecognized,
formerly and currently repressed minority within Bulgaria. In the postsocialist period they are beginning
the process of ethnicity-building through multiple channels, including through folk music,
dance, ritual and religious revival. Their conscious revival work is in its infancy, but is worth analyzing
as it provides an interesting glimpse into the workings of indigenous revival led by local, in many cases
self-educated, intellectuals. The performance of a wedding song on stage is the result of the work of
local intellectuals, who are actively opposing assimilation. Refs 29. Figs 2.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Among the main discoveries concerning the literary activity of Maxim the Greek is the identification
of the series of items written by him in Greek. By now we can be quite sure that our Hagiorite
even during his sojourn in Muscovy composed a great number of his works simultaneously in Greek and in
Church Slavonic. Basing on the newly discovered facts several specialists have made an ill-founded conclusion
that the total corpus of Maxim’s writings should be considered as the phenomenon of post-Byzantine
literary activity. However during the years the Hagiorite was kept in Muscovy the self-identification of the
writer changed considerably. By the end of the 1530th when Maxim the Greek was allowed to continue his
literary work his purpose was to declare his orthodoxy in every possible way. Therefore he started to compose
one after another the volumes of his selected works. Doing it he tried to imitate the patristic tradition
and at the same time he tried to be in the mainstream of the Muscovite ideology of his time. The popularity
of the manuscripts composed of his writings and the authority of his personality prove Maxim’s opera were
considered to be the natural part of Muscovite literary tradition.
