dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzed the peculiarities of studying various aspects of the reform of industry and construction
management (1957–1965) in the works of modern Russian researchers, highlighted the main trends in
the development of the domestic historiography of the issue. It was revealed that in the last two and a half decades
the history of councils of the national economy (sovnarchoz) has been studied mainly at the regional level,
with the wide use of specific historical materials identified in the funds of local archives. At the same time, quite a
lot of theoretical works have been prepared, devoted directly to the reasons, progress of implementation and the
results of the reform. The article draws attention to the variety of aspects of the topic studied by modern researchers.
The issues on which the discussions between historian scholars are most active are highlighted: the ratio of
economic, political and subjective factors that led to the transition to a new system of industrial and construction
management; the problem of the essence of reform, the degree of its radicality; reasons for the winding down
of reform. Based on a comparison of different points of view, the author describes the fundamental differences
in approaches to the study of these issues. The article shows the commonality of the views of researchers in
highlighting the shortcomings in the activities of the sovnarkhoz created on the ground, and assessing the reform
as hasty and contradictory. It is concluded that with all the variety of published works, at present the topic of the
history of the sovnarkhoz in the Soviet Union has the potential to expand both “wide” and “deep”, by studying new aspects of the topic, introducing previously unused historical sources into scientific circulation, systematizing,
generalizing and rethinking existing views and assessments.

The book under review, Ia znayu, chto tak pisat’ nel’zia, brings together some diaries from Prozhito
archive, along with analyses and useful descriptions of each diary. The diaries are the core of this volume, by Aleksandr
Bardovskii, Anisim Nikulin, Sofia Gutshabash, Nina Obukhova-Dukhovskaya, Berta Zlotnikova, Alexander
Grishkevich, and Vladimir Tomilin. These diaries offer valuable insights similar to those gathered through ethnographic
research. They can aid in historically informed social sciences and contribute to interpretations, representations,
and empathy. However, it is important to note that first-hand accounts have limitations and should not
substitute for rigorous methodologies and theoretical frameworks. Author also points the necessity of embedding
the Blockade within broader contexts of war and survival. The Blockade in Leningrad is just one case among many
others worldwide. By comparing these stories to experiences from different regions and wars, researchers can
gain a deeper understanding of the Blockade’s significance. Exploring the Soviet experience of World War II in
various cities, as well as experiences of war in different countries, can provide additional perspectives. Furthermore,
examining instances of duress, such as the Irish famine or the siege of Sarajevo, can shed light on aspects
of Blockade stories that might have been overlooked. This volume opens the door a bit on Prozhito, on the Blockade,
and on issues of representation, experiences of survival, and the politics of suffering.

In the context of studying mass political repressions in the USSR, an attempt was made to look at the
role of terror in order to radically transform a marginal and transitional society into a socialist society. The processes
of politicization of common crimes and social anomalies, and the intensification of extrajudicial repressions in
the 1930s against criminal and deviant segments of the population are shown. For the first time, the materials of
extrajudicial “Kulak” and “Militia” troikas in the Kazakh SSR and the processed data of protocol statistics are introduced
into scientific circulation. The evolution and specifics of extrajudicial bodies are demonstrated, an in-depth
analysis of the contingent of the repressed is carried out. The purpose of the article is to study the scale of social
purge among criminal, marginal and deviant groups of the population in the Kazakh SSR during the implementation
of the two large-scale repressive campaigns of the Great Terror period, namely, the “Kulak” and “Militia”
operations of the NKVD of the USSR. It has been established that during the period of the most massive repressive
campaign of the Great Terror, known as the “Kulak” operation, almost 27 thousand people were repressed in
Kazakhstan, including almost 3.7 thousand people as “criminals”, and a third of them were shot. In total, during
1937–1938 in the Kazakh SSR, more than 15 thousand people were repressed by extrajudicial bodies as criminal
and declassed elements. It is concluded that the politicization of the status of marginals made it possible to exaggerate
their social danger, which led to mass repressions against them.

As a rule, the epidemics that took place on the Russian territory in the first quarter of the 20th century
were a part of the world epidemics that covered significant territories. Based on the materials of local newspapers,
the reaction of the population towards current events and government actions is traced. The abundance of
information and the range of periodicals which enable to trace the dynamic development of epidemics, statistics
of diseases and public opinion about current events and activities is highlighted. The relevance of the topic is due,
among other things, to the appeal to the socio-historical perspective of the problem of the mutual influence of
power and society in extreme conditions on the example of the aggravation of epidemiological situation in the Far
East during the period under review. Based on the archives introduced into scientific circulation, the management
of sanitary affairs, historical aspects of the formation of the sanitary and epidemiological service, the implementation
of measures to prevent and combat diseases are studied. The experience of Russian physicians in the fight
against epidemics in the border territories is analyzed. From the point of view of the history of science the study of
peripheral spaces having economic, cultural, strategic, and political forms is necessary for a historically reliable
reconstruction of the policy of both the territory ready for epidemic challenges and the state. It is concluded that
the analyzed epidemics have become a catalyst for changes in the concepts and practice of medicine, have
changed the role of public health in the border areas. An important role in the fight against infectious diseases
in the border territories of the Far East was played by the agitation activities of sanitary and epidemiological services,
as well as sanitary, epidemiological and preventive measures.

The role of Military Sports Committees in the pre-conscription training of young people of the Crimea
during the World War I is considered. It is established that the Military Sports Committees organized in Simferopol,
Sevastopol and Feodosia cities, have made a significant contribution to the organization of pre-conscription
training of young people and have established close ties with existing city sports societies and men’s educational
institutions. The committees included heads of educational institutions, representatives of the civil and military
administration of the Crimean Peninsula and persons actively assisting the committee in solving its tasks. For the
purpose of pre-conscription training, teams of pre-conscripts were formed under the guidance of experienced
instructors-officers, sports competitions were organized, the construction of sports facilities was initiated, physical
education and military-physical training of high school students of gymnasiums and colleges of the Crimea
were activated. The Military Sports Committees worked together with the Sevastopol Сlub of Sports Enthusiasts,
the Simferopol Society for the Promotion of Physical Development and Sports, school sports clubs of Crimean
cities gymnasiums and colleges. As a result to the efforts of the Committee, sports such as rowing, swimming,
athletics, cycling, horse riding, football have been further developed on the Crimean Peninsula. The Committees
provided material and methodological assistance to educational institutions in conducting classes with high
school students in gymnastics, military formation and shooting. The political events connected with the February
Revolution at the beginning of 1917 practically stopped the activities of Military Sports Committees and stopped
the work on military physical training of young people in the Crimea, however, the accumulated practical experience
formed the basis for the further development of the pre-conscription training system already in Soviet times.

The publication is an analytical review of a collection of articles prepared by a group of historians
under the auspices of the European University in St. Petersburg. The purpose of our work is to consider the book
novelty as a phenomenon in the modern historiography of the Revolution and the Civil War in Russia from the
theoretical standpoint of the principles of system and determinism. Due to the specifics of the topic, the main
scientific method used by us in the review is problematic. The relevance of the views, the original approach and
methodology of a wide range of sources used by the team of authors in the study of the problem are emphasized.
The collection of articles makes it possible to expand the understanding of events and phenomena in the
life of the Russian state and society in the era of social cataclysms of 1917–1922. At the same time, the past is
interpreted, including through the discourse of the history of images, the history of emotions, anthropology, and
the history of everyday life. At the same time, along with the merits of the publication, the final part of the review
contains some subjective critical passages. They do not reduce the overall positive impression of the reviewed
work and are seen as ways to further develop the topic (in particular, through an appeal to regional experience).
In our opinion, the analyzed work, which is distinguished by rich factual material, can be useful to specialists in
several areas of historical knowledge. This review is addressed to researchers of historical science, Russian historiography,
the history of the Revolution and the Civil War in Russia.

The article presents an analysis of archival documents and scientific and methodological literature on
the organization by the first People’s Commissar of Health of the RSFSR N. A. Semashko since 1922 of teaching
the discipline “Social hygiene” to future doctors at domestic universities. The main directions implemented by
Nikolai Alexandrovich in this field are: studying the experience of teaching social hygiene abroad and training
students in public medicine and public sanitation in pre-revolutionary Russia; formation of the Department of
Social Hygiene at the Medical Faculty of the I Moscow State University, which initially trained students of three
Moscow universities; substantiation of the role of the new department among other clinical and preventive disciplines;
development of educational and methodological documentation and literature on social hygiene together
with close associates; organization of interaction of the Department of Social Hygiene with the State Museum of
Social Hygiene created on the initiative of the People’s Commissariat of Health of the RSFSR, which was later
transformed into the State Institute of Social Hygiene; opening of a clinic of social and occupational diseases
at the Department, etc. The results achieved over several years have significantly improved the attitude of the
teaching staff of clinical and preventive disciplines to the Department of Social Hygiene and the training of future
doctors there, which over a 100-year period of development has been repeatedly renamed and currently bears
the name of its creator — the Department of Public Health and Healthcare named after N. A. Semashko Sechenov
University. At this department, students of various medical specialties, graduate students, undergraduates
and residents in public health and healthcare are still being trained, and the traditions laid down in the training of
doctors are carefully preserved and multiplied.

This review focuses on the book by leading Chinese historian Shen Zhihua, Economic Vortex: The
Beginning of the Cold War Reinterpreted (Hongkong, 2022). The central question that Shen wants to answer
in his work is “Could the Cold War have been avoided?” The professor examines this question through a “new
angle” — the economic relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. Ultimately, Professor Shen
concluded that the Cold War was an “accidental product” that could have been avoided. Further political and
economic cooperation between U. S. and Soviet Union after World War II was in fact possible. The coexistence of
two different ideologies and systems was also possible. The monograph consists of seven chapters. Shen analyzes
in detail how the U. S. and the USSR gradually fell into an “economic vortex”, severing all economic relations
between them. History — lessons for the future. The current situation in the world, the conflict between the two
superpowers, China and U. S., has made the issue of the Cold War particularly relevant. Professor Shen believes
that the outbreak of the Cold War in the middle of the last century is a “historical nuisance” for all mankind and
contradicted the main course of the history of all mankind — the peaceful way of development. The PRC and the
U. S. must not repeat the mistakes made by the American and Soviet leadership in the 20th century, which ended
up dragging the entire world into a long and senseless conflict.

The paper focuses on the range of lyrical works by F. I. Tyutchev, which involve architectural
images and motifs. Tyutchev’s interest in these motifs and images — from the “ruins of Ilion”
to the “Tsarskoe Selo palaces” and Moscow churches — has been observed for more than half
a century. Tyutchev’s poems discussed in the paper are studied taking into account their connections
with the “architectural” poetry of their predecessors. First of all, the connections with
G. R. Derzhavin and P. A. Vyazemsky are traced. Among the heirs of this tradition, the author
singles out O. E. Mandelstam. A special place in the work is given to the comparison of architectural
images and motifs in Tyutchev’s lyrics with those of A. S. Pushkin, possible Pushkin
sources of a number of Tyutchev’s works are found. The author’s special attention is devoted
to a group of poems (“Dream at Sea”, “Morning in the Mountains”, “Unexpectedly and Brightly...”),
in which the presence of architectural images is involved in solving completely different
lyrical and philosophical issues that are not related to direct poet’s impressions from works of
architectural art. The specific Tyutchev’s distrust towards the plastic arts (architecture, sculpture),
in contrast to the poet’s always benevolent attention to music, is associated with the
most profound, fundamental features of Tyutchev’s personality and worldview. The author
argues that the distrust of the plastic arts is caused by the poet’s more general skeptical attitude
towards the objects of the man-made world (in this respect, Tyutchev is close to N. V. Gogol).

The article is devoted to the problem of reflecting the variability of the Russian dialect word
in dialect dictionaries published in Russia from the 19th to the 21st centuries. The study aims
to consider the method of presenting different types of variants of a dialect word in various
dialect dictionaries, with the main attention being paid to the analysis of works of dialect lexicography
created since the middle of the 20th century until now. The submission of variants in
the “Pskov Regional Dictionary”, which has been worked on at Leningrad State University —
St. Petersburg State University (and Pskov Pedagogical Institute — Pskov State University)
since the 1950s, is analyzed in most detail. Research objectives: to study, based on the relevant
sections of the introductions and prefaces to dialect dictionaries of the Russian language, what
exactly the authors of dictionaries consider to be variants of a dialect word, what types of variants
they distinguish and how they are presented in their dictionaries. The novelty of the work
lies in the consideration of the problem under study on the basis of a wide range of dialect
dictionaries published in different regions of Russia and differently interpreting the theory
of variance and describing lexical variation. The material of the study is both the theoretical
introductory sections of Russian dialect dictionaries — namely, those parts that are devoted to
the variability of the dialect lexeme — and the dialect dictionaries themselves, which differently
present certain types of word variants in the dictionary and in a separate dictionary entry.

The article actualizes the range of problems of phenomenology of the text in relation to such

provisions of semiotic analysis, the author of the article proposes to investigate the Remizov’s
artifact in the field of scientific concepts was formulated by Y. M. Lotman and R. Barth — in
relation to the myth of the modern times. For the first time the article introduces a complete
description of the insufficiently researched archive document of the so-called “pushkin notebook”.
Fragments of this artifact — are printed other people’s texts. The dominant topic is directly
or indirectly related to the name “Pushkin” and the development of the Pushkin myth.
Optional topics is connected to the Remizov’s role as an actor of cultural process of 20th century.
To detect the projection of textual and iconographic artifact fragments on hidden episodes,
the authoruses the term “after-text”, meaning the domain of biographical and cultural connotations.
The aim is to verify the productivity of reading of the author’s artistic composition
as the sign system. As a result, the Remisov’s idea of “pushkin notebook” as a “monument” of
culture was restored. There was revealed the principle of the organization of artifact’s “text” by
analogy with the models of Remisov’s cultural chronicles of the beginning 1920s and 1930s.
The structural-semiotic approach to verbal and iconic artifact fragments, as well as the using
of archeographic description to reveal the author’s reflection provides a new perspective on the
phenomenon of Pushkin myth in the paradigm of the literary reception of the 20th century.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The present work introduces to the annotated re-edition of an article written by the prominent
Ossetian scientist, folklorist and teacher Grigory Alekseevich Dzagurov (1888–1979), which
was published in 1924 under the title “The Japhetic Theory of Academician N. Ya. Marr and
the Question of the Origin of the Ossetians”. The text, reproduced in a new annotated version
with identification of the sources used by the author, introduces to the new linguistic theory
promoted by Academician N. Ya. Marr (1864–1934), postulating the relationship between
Hamito-Semitic and Kartvelian languages as well as the idea of linguistic mixing and crossing.
By deliberately overusing direct quotations from the works of the creator of Japhetic linguistics,
Dzagurov gives a brief overview of the main provisions of Marr’s linguistic theory, showing
its direct relation to the question of the dual nature, Indo-European (Iranian) and Japhetic,
of Ossetic. At that time, as is well known, linguistic arguments were readily provided when discussing thorny questions about the ethnogenesis of peoples. Overall, Dzagurov’s article has
historical significance in many respects. Firstly, it testifies to the reception of the Japhetic stage
of Marr’s linguistic theory (that is, before the emergence of the New Doctrine of Language)
with respect to the study of the Iranian linguistic world in the Northern Caucasus. Secondly,
such ideas about the phenomena of the Caucasian substrate and language mixing were skillfully
developed over the following decades by one of the best students of Marr, V. A. Abaev
(1900–2001), who identified numerous Caucasian elements in the Ossetian language at all
language levels. Finally, it is interesting to notice that it was Dzagurov who gave a recommendation
on Abaev’s application for admission to the Petrograd State University, thus indirectly
contributing to the onset of an important stage in the history of Ossetian studies and, in general,
Soviet linguistics.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article aims at developing the approach to the study of the interlanguage specifics of the
realization of the creative potential of emotive vocabulary in multimodal (cinematic) discourse.
The starting point is the identification of a range of key issues in the modern study
of various means and ways of conceptualizing emotions in language and discourse. The principles
of selection of film material, which are films in English, Russian and Chinese, are described
in detail. Special attention is paid to the description of the method of parametrization
of linguistic creativity in discourse and the justification for the allocation of such a linguocreative
parameter as “emotive and expressive units”. The frequency of activation of the parameter
under study is determined. Word-formation (or structural), grammatical and semantic
characteristics of units representing emotions and feelings of film characters are consistently
analyzed. The use of the developed complex methodology has resulted in establishing the role
of units denoting emotions and feelings in the construction of the verbal system of films in
English, Russian and Chinese. Based on the comparison an interlanguage emotive profile is
formed. The profile reflects the methods, aspects and criteria for evaluating the manifestation
of the creative potential of emotive vocabulary relevant to films in languages of different systems.
The dependence of the manifestation of the creative potential of emotive units on their

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines the last will of the Russian service nobleman of the end of the 16th century
Ivan Golova Solovtsov. The subject of the article is requests of blessing for children, which
Ivan Golova addresses to God. These requests included lists of patriarchs and matriarchs of
the Old Testament: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, Sarah, Rebecca, Anne, Elizabeth, and Susanna.
Comparative textological analysis allowed to identify a possible corpus of sources, which
could have been used by Ivan Golova when compiling his last will. It also allowed to find out
close, in terms of language and contents, literary parallels, the most important of which come
from the wedding service and services of the two last Sundays before Christmas (Sunday of
Saint Fathers and Sunday of Saint Patriarchs). Analysis of the identified sources, conducted
with the use of the epitaph preserved on the tombstone of Ivan Golova and with the use of his
biography, made it possible to interpret the blessing requests not only in the context of repentance
discourse, but also gave base for comparing Golova’s “theology” with some aspects of the
Protestantism theology. Thus, Solovtsov’s last will requests of blessing, addressed to God and
asking for his children those earthly riches, which were granted to patriarchs and matriarchs
of the Old Testament, are treated as both evidence of Solovtsov’s wide readership and as possible
reflection of influence of another culture and confession.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the features of the language of the military regulations of 1796 by Paul I.
Similar studies on the language of military regulations from the times of Peter I and Catherine
II are used as comparative material. The multi-level features of the text are described.
A number of judgments of historians, biographers of Paul I are given, indicating that the
emperor wanted, first of all, to revive the “strictness of military service” of Catherine II. It
is emphasized that the number of chapter sections containing an explanation of the reasons
for such strict requirements, which is typical for the Peter’s regulations of 1716 (expressed by
constructions with conjunctions ibo, ponezhe, daby, etc.), is extremely small in the Pavlovian
regulations. It is significant that the most active grammatical means of expressing imperativeness,
as the main semantic-pragmatic category of the regulations genre, is the infinitive,
which has a high degree of categoricalness. Various syntactic constructions are described that
express the meaning of command, obligation, necessity, etc. Numerous lexical actualizers of
the semantics of imperativeness (zhivo, provorno, skoro, vdrug, srazu, razom, nezamedlitel’no,
etc.), substantively reinforcing this categoricalness, are not found in the statutory texts of the
times of Peter I and Catherine II. Not so frequent are modal structures with lexical operators
“nadlezhit/dolzhen/nado + infinitive”. The noted multi-level linguistic features of the charter of
1796 testify to the fully developed military underlay of the official language of the 18th century,
many features of which have survived to this day.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the use of synaesthetic metaphors with an olfactory component of
meaning in the perfumery discourse of the Spanish language. Synaesthetic metaphors are
considered as emotional-evaluative units of linguistic coding of interrelations of polysensory
perception of smells, sounds, colours, tastes, temperatures through different organs of human
perception and are the result of cognitive-symbolic integration of human sensory experience.
The synaesthetic metaphor is viewed as a result of synaesthesia which at the level of perception
influences the inventory of the linguistic means involved by the speaker. The source of
the investigated empirical material studied is the fragrance descriptions presented on the website
of the El Corte Ingles online store. The metaphors studied are classified according to the
establishing the synaesthetic interaction of perceptual images, considering their general and
particular characteristics, which are analyzed on the basis of the cognitive mechanisms underlying
them, as well as from the point of view of their pragmatic potential. By applying the
method of continuous sampling, component analysis, descriptive and quantitative research
methods, synaesthetic metaphors have been identified, models of synaesthetic transfers have
been revealed and their productivity has been established. The most productive models of
synaesthetic metaphors used in the description of fragrance in perfumery discourse are models
of transfer from tactile to olfactory and from visual to olfactory modalities, transfers from
gustatory and auditory modalities are less represented. Also well sufficiently represented are
the models of metaphorical transfer of two or more modalities to the olfactory modality.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study addresses the problem of incompleteness of data on the origin of Russian slang
expression chuvikha ‘woman, girl’. It has long been associated with thieves’ cant, in which, according
to A. P. Barannikov, the lexeme was gypsyism. Then the gypsy etymology began to be
rejected. The purpose of the study is to fill in the gaps in the history of the word chuvikha using
the methods of corpus and lexicographic analysis on the material of the Russian National Corpus,
the collection of digitized books google.books, the diary service Prozhito.org, dictionaries
of secret languages, slang dictionaries, etc. The following conclusions are made. Chuvikha,
chuvak and a number of other slang expressions moved into the jargon of so-called stylyags
(youth, passionate about Western culture) no later than the early 1950s from the jargon of restaurant
musicians, so-called labukhs. Thus, the source of the argotisms of the stylyags was the
slang of musicians, not thieves. Further, jargons of restaurant musicians of the 20th century are
related with the secret language of orchestral musicians of the 19th century, having common
roots with the slang expressions of labukhs, are given in the book. They are also related with
other secret languages of the 19th century. The words chuvikha and chuvak are possibly related
to the lexem chovy ‘good’, which was used in the secret languages of the 19th century (with a
variant of the root chuv-) and in the aforementioned musical jargon of the 1920s as a substantive
— the nomination of a person.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with epistemic responsibility from the perspective of a reader/listener.
Viewed as a type of speaker commitment, epistemic responsibility is defined as responsibility
for the reliability of what is reported. It is assumed to be verbalized through epistemic modals
and evidentials. The relevance of the study is due to a high frequency of the term “commitment”,
mainly in studies on the speech act theory, modality and evidentiality, combined with
the insufficient theoretical development of the notion. The novelty of the study lies in the
identification and description of cognitive and pragmatic features of epistemic responsibility
attribution based on an experiment. Objectives of the research included assessing the perception
of evidential-epistemic markers as epistemic responsibility indicators by native speakers
of Russian, identifying communicative interaction aspects that influence epistemic responsibility
attribution, as well as experimental verification of the epistemic responsibility model
developed in our earlier studies. The analysis was carried out using a questionnaire designed
specifically for this experiment. Respondents were students of non-linguistic areas of training
(35 subjects). The study showed that Russian speakers perceive evidential-epistemic markers
as epistemic responsibility indicators, and epistemic responsibility attribution is influenced
by communication ethics and conventions. The findings proved the validity of the epistemic
responsibility model under test. The research also yielded an improved interpretation of the
epistemic responsibility concept, which can be considered, on the one hand, as the speaker’s
mental state and, on the other hand, as a linguistic image of this state, determined by communication
rules and the speaker’s intentions.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this paper, we try to show a specificity of the speaker’s spatial orientation system as a complex
of cognitive functions in virtual reality (VR). Spatial orientation can be egocentric, allocentric
or geocentric depending on which verbal deictic occurs as a point of reference. The
use of one or another type of spatial orientation in VR can be conditioned by various factors.
We explore the impact of communicative parameters on the speaker’s spatial orientation in
VR. For that purpose, a VR experiment was conducted by applying five scenes with different
communicative parameters. The consideration of the connection between the communicative
parameters embedded in five different scenes and cognitive processes in the speaker’s orientation
in VR is a novelty. The specific features of speaker orientation are presented in terms
of three different deictic and communicative aspects: the opposition person-oriented and
distance-oriented systems; the communicative situations themselves and their internal parameters; the location of the referent in proximal, medial and distal positions. 24 informants
participated in the experiment, and 725 reactions presented in the form of lines were obtained
as material which was analyzed and processed in the Semograph Information System. The
results showed that in the communication in VR, the allocentric orientation prevails even
with the proximal position of the referent, the deictic coordinate system can be fully integrated
into some communicative situations, and certain communicative parameters can affect the
speaker’s spatial orientation. We discuss the mechanisms that might explain the results and
offer recommendations for future experiments.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article explores the musicalization of modern fiction, reflecting such tendencies as the crisis of language and mimesis, the desire for abstraction and non-figurativity. With the reduction of the represented world, the role of the plan of expression and self-reflection of form increases. For the modernists, music becomes the language that allows them to express the utopian, the invisible and the (un)possible. The susceptibility of the contemporary reader and researcher to medial codes allows us to detect in the modernist novel’s imitation of music not only the extravagance of the author’s imagination, but also the unmasking of referential illusion and the tendency towards performativity. The novelty of the research consists in clarifying the typology of musical-literary dialogue, and in the historical-literary aspect in identifying the semiotic, epistemological and poetological foundations of modernist quasi-musical prose, which developed its own equivalents of musical techniques and styles on the way to deconstructing the bourgeois novel. As an example of musical prose, the novel “The Lime Works” (“Das Kalkwerk”, 1970) by the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard is considered. It is interpreted as the culmination of the author’s creative evolution, from the lyricism imitating the baroque style and attitude, to experimental poetry and prose, and finally to the prose with a sophisticated syntax imitating the romantic musical phrasing. The polyphonic structure of Bernhard’s prose, its strict, abstract compositional pattern, is interpreted as a modern technique of ordering the existence chaos.

value: The article is dedicated to the poems of Yuri Olesha, published in 1922–1924. in the newspaper “Gudok” under his own name and pseudonyms “Zubilo” (the Chisel) and “Kasyan Agapov” (this pseudonym did not attract the attention of critics). An analysis of the texts shows that the young writer created, using the pseudonyms, two different caracters of the fictive author. At first, Zubilo and Kasyan Agapov did not differ from each other, but soon their roles were differentiated: the first became a witty feuilleton-railroad worker, writing on everyday topics and fighting bureaucracy, the second — a poet from the people, adhering to the serious theme of the official tone. Olesha soon began to sign the most serious poems of political content with his own name. The article assumes, how the using of pseudonyms is related to the position of Olesha in the historical and literary situation of the years 1920. You can found here also the traits analysis of the poetics of the poems of Zubilo and Kasyan Agapov, which were not noted by researchers, are analyzed: parodic techniques, the combination of different stylistic, thematic plans, opposite poetic and genre forms, etc. Perhaps, these signs are typicals for the poems of other representatives of the Southern (Odessa) school, who worked in “Gudok”. This opens up prospects for new research.

dc.description.abstract

value: In contemporary scientific paradigm, horror literature is often interpreted on the basis of disgust and/or abjection, mainly due to the influential works by J. Kristeva and N. Carroll, inspired by M. Douglas. However, phenomenological approach as well as cognitive studies clearly show the fundamental difference between fear and disgust. The three theorists’ common understanding of disgust as a categorical anomaly has much in common with a wider concept of grotesque. Drawing on the works by M. M. Bakhtin, A. Kolnai and S. Asma it is possible to demonstrate how grotesque images can induce not only disgust, but fear and laughter as well as more ambiguous reaction, for grotesque images are, in full accord with Bakhtin’s carnivalesque poetics, deeply ambivalent. To illustrate the point, the article draws on works by David Wong (pen-name of J. Pargin), the postmodern horror writer well-known for his propensity for mixing horrible and comic in bold proportion. Wong freely uses the poetics of grotesque realism, yet does not shy to demonstrate that in some cases no amount of denigration can utterly vanquish horror, and that a cosmically grotesque body can remain sublime despite every possible accent on its lowest anatomical aspects. Examination of various unfinished and becoming bodies in Wong’s novel demonstrates that grotesque is a versatile tool for rather different ends, from farcical comedy to existential dread and diverse transitory forms. Thus we may conclude that grotesque hybridity suffuses horror not only on thematic and structural levels, but on pragmatic as well, pertaining to the sphere of emotional responses.

value:
The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the attitude of Russians and Chinese towards
corrupt practices. The study was conducted anonymously in an online survey using the service
https://webanketa.ru. 275 Russians and 105 Chinese took part in it. To determine attitudes
towards corrupt practices, the author’s questionnaire was developed, based on the color model
of A. Heidenheimer (2015). The questionnaire consisted of 59 hypothetical situations, to assess
the corruption of which a 7‑point scale was used. For the Chinese participants in the
study, a bilingual philologist translated the questionnaire into Chinese. Reliability testing of
the instrument confirmed high consistency of the data (Cronbach α = 0.962). The results of
factor analysis made it possible to identify three factors and confirm the color model (black, gray, white) of the perception of corruption by A. Heidenheimer. The results of the study made
it possible to identify both general features and culturally specific features of the perception
of corruption. A comparative analysis of the data showed that deviant actions of officials or
persons whose social role is strictly regulated in society and presupposes high moral qualities
(judge, doctor, policeman, etc.) were assessed by respondents as highly corrupt in both samples.
Also, in both national groups, respondents gave lower ratings to the corrupt actions of
holders of such social roles as a flight attendant, teacher, or coach than to the corrupt actions
of officials, who were subject to higher moral requirements. At the same time, respondents
from China statistically reliably assessed hypothetical situations of black corruption as less
corrupt, unlike Russians. White corruption, on the contrary, was condemned by the Chinese
significantly more than by the Russians. The results obtained reflect the transcendental legitimation
of power inherent in the Chinese mentality and the horizontal responsibility captured
in the guanxi phenomenon.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The number of regions in Russia experiencing a significant outflow of population is growing
so the issue of internal migration is still on the agenda. A review of empirical studies of internal
migration in Russia has shown that most of the studies devoted to the causes and consequences
of migration are bounded to the economic aspect ignoring the complexity of this
social phenomenon. In this paper, readiness for voluntary internal migration is considered as
a phenomenon that embodies individual subjective activity of a person, when a young person
purposefully chooses not only a place of permanent residence, but also an appropriate lifestyle.
The aim of the study is to determine what social factors contribute to intend to move to
another city for residence. The set of social determinants that were tested consists of personal
moral attitudes, close social ties, satisfaction with different aspects of work, shared opinion
about current city from significant others, satisfaction with the city environment. These factors
affect at different levels and are considered as significant elements of a system with its internal
logic and hierarchy. The data of online panel survey of 357 working young people from different
regions shows that social factors (opinions of significant others about the city of residence,
perception of the city as a place for comfortable life, social status of parents) are significant
predictors of intention to move. Common and universal attitude to “be financially free and
independent” and social origin activate the opinion of significant others about the city, which
is highly connected with the leading determinant: personal evaluation of the quality of life in
current urban environment.

This article focuses on how modern digital services can involve citizens in socio-political
processes. Based on a survey of residents of the Tyumen region, an assessment was made of
the participation of citizens in socio-political
processes, the demand for digital services by
the population for the manifestation of socio-political
activity, as well as the ability of these
services to provide citizens with genuine political participation. The study found that only
40 % of respondents use modern services and technologies to display their socio-political
activity. In the great majority of cases, the use of digital services or platforms is apolitical
(solving one’s own life problems, getting information, informing the authorities). The needs of citizens related to participation in social and political processes through digital services are
fully satisfied, but these services do not provide citizens with genuine participation and don’t
give the opportunity to influence ongoing social and political processes. Only a few services
today enable citizens to reach a high level of sociopolitical participation. Most digital services
provide only symbolic political participation, but their presence improves the system of public
administration and interaction between the authorities and the population. We tend to see,
even in the non-political nature of digital service usage, latent political participation that can
become real. The use of digital services is important for society, as they significantly expand
both the audience and the repertoire of citizens’ participation in socio-political
processes; have
a learning effect; contribute to increasing the openness and accountability of authorities to
citizens. By properly analyzing the weaknesses of digital services and the demands of citizens
for their improvement, one can make significant improvements.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Libraries are a leading actor developing the discussion about Open Science in the Russian
scientific field in the competition between them, publishers, repositories and scientific institutes.
Understanding the vision of the role of libraries in Open Science will help determine
the contours of the possible implementation of the concept in Russia. Based on an analysis of
the range of relevant sources, the author describes the transformation of the role of libraries
in the conditions of Open Science based on the reconstruction of their ideas. To achieve this
goal, the article performs a number of tasks, including: identifying the context for the formation
of ideas about the role of libraries, identifying the prerequisites for changing the role of
libraries, identifying the old and new roles of libraries in Open Science, identifying barriers to
the implementation of the new role of libraries in Open Science. It is noted that the interest in
Open Science on the part of Russian libraries occurs in accordance with global trends. Open
Science for libraries is presented in the Russian scientific field as a challenge caused by the
increasingly complex scientific environment. Such challenges encourage libraries to redefine
their place in the information ecosystem of the future, and Open Science is a key aspect on
the basis of which libraries build their strategic development. The active role of libraries in
the development of Open Science is due to synergetic factors. However, the author also notes
the observed forced nature of libraries’ participation in the development of Open Science.
The author comes to the conclusion that the leadership of libraries in the discussion regarding
Open Science in the Russian scientific field is due to more than just competition for the
possession of a resource, but has an existential character against the background of the risks
of libraries being ousted from the process of scientific communication.

for modern researchers to refer to the works of the classics of migration studies, and consistently
examines the questions that S. Stouffer tried to answer in his works. Particular attention
is paid to data sources for the analysis of migration processes, S. Stouffer’s arguments about
the subjectivity of migrants and the existence of various strategies of migration behavior, as
well as the concepts of “assumed” and “real” migration opportunities are analyzed. In conclusion,
the article formulates the main theses that seem relevant to migration researchers today,
and also describes a theoretical framework that suggests a connection between mobility and
distance. Basing on the key thesis of this article that: “the lost value of research with Stouffer’s
today is the devaluation of answers to fundamental and applied questions of migration, but
the acquired value is the revaluation of the very questions posed by him”, the authors of the
text demonstrate the continuity and evolution of scientific thought about migration processes
from the middle of the 20th century up to the present day.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In recent years, the trend of digitalization of society has led researchers to think about the
possible relationship of factors connecting the penetration of information technologies and
such social aspects as the quality of life of the population, residents’ satisfaction with the
urban environment, and social well-being. The article presents the results of a representative
sociological study of the needs for digital services among residents of St. Petersburg, as well
as the relationship between satisfaction from using services and the level of social well-being.
In St. Petersburg, the priority project “Ecosystem of City Services ‘Digital Petersburg’” is being
implemented, which is a model for providing digital services by locating city services in one
place. Satisfaction with the lives of citizens is the ultimate goal of the project, and this category
is closely related to the subjective judgments of residents who come into contact with everyday
practices through an emotional background. The study was conducted using an online survey
of 500 city residents, a sample representative of the gender and age of respondents. According
to the results of the study, a relationship was identified between the use of digital services and
indicators of the social well-being of the population. Among city residents, those who highly
value the convenience of digital services demonstrate greater life satisfaction. According to
the survey, the social well-being of citizens is influenced by confidence in their own IT skills,
a high assessment of the convenience of digital services, trust in interaction with authorities
online, and an assessment of the effectiveness of services. The author sees the development
of a methodology for multifactorial assessment of social well-being, including the use of data
from social media and other open sources, as future research tasks.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article compares the electoral rhetoric of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the
Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) parties through the prism of the level of antagonization
and the parties’ point of view on topical social issues. Discourse analysis is conducted
using discourse frames and blocks, allowing formalizing the comparison between texts in
different languages. The sample is based on party videos published online in April — May
2021 in the run-up to the upcoming federal elections in both countries. The LDPR uses more antagonistic rhetoric, especially against Western countries and Ukraine. The AfD uses we to
unite its electorate, seeing the German and European establishment as its opponents, as well
as organizations with an international agenda, including the Greens and the Antifa movement.
Both parties raise important social issues such as immigration, digitalization, political
freedoms, and national identity, but differences in emphasis emerge. The AfD is more likely
to raise issues of economic freedom for business and the defense of German burgher culture
against the leftist agenda, while the LDPR is focused on supporting Russian foreign policy and
Russian culture against Western globalism. The authors also emphasize that modern far-right
parties support democratic principles. Nationalism remains central to far-right ideology, but it
is drifting towards democracy under the influence of sociocultural processes. The study aims
to improve understanding of the dynamics of far-right political discourse in Germany and
Russia. The theoretical developments allow us to expand the application of discourse analysis
of political rhetoric.

The article presents the pathophysiological features of oxidative stress and the state of the
antioxidant system in patients with epilepsy. The issues of lipid peroxidation, its markers, the
relationship between oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and neuroinflammation, as well
as pathomorphological changes in brain tissue in temporal lobe epilepsy and features of neuroplastic
processes in these patients are considered. Epileptic seizures can act as a stressor for
the body and are accompanied by activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system.
The role of cortisol in changes in hippocampal plasticity and distant damage to the hippocampus
is considered as a key link in the pathogenesis of cognitive and mental disorders as a result
of focal brain lesions. Experimental and clinical data indicate an association between epilepsy
and endothelial dysfunction. It has been established that epileptic seizures are accompanied
by a long-term loss of the vasodilating function of the cerebral vascular endothelium, leading
to a violation of their autoregulation. Data are presented on the possibility of restoring the
perfusion of the epileptogenic focus during an attack, which allows some authors to consider
them as a compensatory mechanism associated with improved perfusion of brain tissue and
the energy status of the cell. The effects of antioxidants in the treatment of epilepsy and the
role of comorbid disorders in its course are described. An opinion has been expressed about
the prognostic role of oxidative stress markers in the cerebrospinal fluid in the development
of pharmacoresistance in epilepsy.

The quality of healthcare organisations is often described with the model of Donabedian
structure-process-outcome. But the foundation of the model were laid by earlier thinkers
about medical and healthcare quality of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This article focuses
on two surgeons, Pirogov and Codman, and one nurse manager, Nightingale who occupied
themselves with the management and organisation of hospitals. They started with nothing
to rely on, as they were pioneers in the field of quality management. Even the concepts of
quality and management were not present at the time, as were many other areas, such as an
adequate understanding of the causation of hospital infections, scientific thinking in medicine
and nursing, and statistical and methodological tools to study and improve healthcare. We
will show that although their thoughts were original, they were also embedded in the belief
systems of their time. Following their development, we will understand how thinking about
quality management evolved in their time. Their experiences have led to very significant improvements
we nowadays take for granted.

value: It is known that space and terrestrial weather can have a significant impact on the physiological status of the body, including in the form of meteopathic reactions, the development of acute or chronic diseases exacerbation. Many works have been devoted to the study of the influence of the Earth's weather on human health. Despite the fact that there are facts indicating that many processes on Earth are associated with heliogeophysical phenomena, scientific research containing a clear system and methodological basis in the field of studying the influence of heliogeophysical factors on the health of the population is currently insufficient. The original articles on the assessment of the space and terrestrial weather impact on human health, presented in bibliographic and abstract databases and information systems PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, NEB (eLIBRARY.RU ), Cyber Training, the results of dissertation research that meet the criteria for compliance with the stated goal and the quality of research results. A total of 204 full-text publications were identified based on the results of a targeted search, of which 107 fully met these inclusion criteria. Changes in the heliogeomagnetic environment affect almost all organs and systems. The largest number of studies are devoted to assessing the impact of space weather on the cardiovascular system (41 articles – 38,3%) and the nervous system (45 articles - 42,0%). However, the analysis found that also significant systems affected by space weather are respiratory systems (4 articles - 3,7%), digestive (5 articles - 4,7%) and reproductive systems (11 articles - 10,3%). In addition, the course of the infectious process depends on the influence of solar activity (5 articles – 4,7%).

Dupuytren’s disease is a multifactorial polygenic disease accompanied by hand deformity with
flexion contracture of the fingers. Despite the improvement of surgical treatment methods for
this disease, the rate of postoperative relapses is high and can reach a third of cases or more.
A search of scientific literature in databases was conducted using keywords and their combinations
to analyze and systematize methodological approaches to the use of scales and questionnaires
for patients with Dupuytren’s disease. 28 scales and questionnaires were found and
analyzed, but only 11 of them correspond to the purpose of this study and can be recommended
for use in real clinical practice. We divided these scales into four groups. Many diagnostic scales and questionnaires, on the one hand, expands the capabilities of the orthopedic traumatologist
in diagnosing and assessing the dynamics of disease progression, but on the other
hand, each of the analyzed scales separately does not make it possible to comprehensively
assess the associated parameters. At the same time, the use of several scales on an outpatient
basis and in a 24-hour hospital setting takes quite a lot of time.

In recent years, there have been serious changes in the close relationship between diabetes
mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. From the early stages of insulin resistance and prediabetes
to serious cardiac complications caused by diabetes. Coronary heart disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients, but not all diabetic patients have an
equally high risk of heart attacks. More than a third of asymptomatic patients have no signs of
coronary atherosclerosis and have a very low annual heart attack rate. Early detection of patients
with subclinical coronary artery atherosclerosis and/or significant obstructive coronary
artery disease with asymptomatic myocardial infarction may help in making a therapeutic
decision to prevent future devastating acute cardiovascular conditions. This article is devoted
to the peculiarities of the course of cardiovascular diseases in concomitant diabetes mellitus,
its role in increasing the frequency and severity of complications after acute cardiovascular
episodes, as well as modern views on the therapy of this combined condition.

Demographic problems, including the low birth rate, are among the most acute problems in
Russia. The solution of demographic problems requires an integrated approach and it is based
(among other things) on the study of the reproductive attitudes of various groups of the population.
The aim is to study the opinion of the population about the problem of fertility and
attitude to family values. An anonymous survey was conducted using a Google form (352 citizens
of the Russian Federation). The sample was random. The average age of the respondents
was 38.6 years. The questionnaires were processed using the applied statistical programs Excel
and Statistica 10. The study showed that the presence of children in the family was considered
necessary by only 68.4 % of the respondents. 45.3 % would like to have two children;
30.6 % — three or more; 17.5 % — one child; 6.6% of respondents do not want to have them
at all. The main motives and prerequisites for the birth of a child were: the joy of motherhood;
the importance of material support from the state; and procreation; the main obstacles to having
a child were the lack of confidence in a stable material income, the unstable situation in
the country, the fear of losing a job or destroying a career, the lack of confidence in getting a
decent education for all children and further employment, poor housing conditions, and the
lack of a permanent partner. The share of those supporting the idea of child-free was 24.9 %;
41.8 % accept same-sex marriages. Thus, both the importance of measures of social and material
support for motherhood and childhood and the relevance of the problem of family and
moral education of the population have been confirmed.

The article is devoted to the life and work of the prominent Russian pathologist, bacteriologist,
scientist, educator and organizer, Doctor of Medicine, Honored Professor of Moscow University
Mikhail Nikiforovich Nikiforov (1858–1915), who was born into a Moscow bourgeois
family. In 1883, he graduated with honors from the medical faculty of the Imperial Moscow
University with the degree of a doctor and with the title of a district doctor. In 1887, he successfully
defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic “On pathoanatomical changes of the
spleen in recurrent fever”, in which he explained for the first time the origin of necrosis in
the spleen in recurrent typhus. Throughout a relatively short but bright life, all scientific and
pedagogical activity was inextricably linked with Moscow University, where the scientist went
from student to head of the department and his scientific interests were various issues of general
and private pathology (inflammation, tissue regeneration, anemia, circulatory disorders,
histogenesis of granulation tissue, tumors, pathology of the nervous system infectious and gynecological
pathology) and medical microbiology (methods of histological and bacteriological
research). He is the author of scientific publications, including the first atlas of pathological
histology, the first domestic textbook on pathological anatomy, which was republished many
times, and manuals. He created a large school of pathologists, was the founder of the Society
of Moscow Pathologists and the first Chairman of this society, was the first in Russia to use microphotography
to accurately reproduce pathohistological changes in illustrative material for
lectures, proposed in the field of microscopic technology a number of methods for monitoring
the growth of microbes, staining microbes in sections and fixing objects, and in 1888 he proposed
the optimal composition of the mixture for fixing blood smears (“Nikiforov’s mixture”).
M. N. Nikiforov rose to the rank of Major General, active state councilor and held a number
of important administrative posts. He died on June 23, 1915, in Moscow at the 57th year of life
from angina pectoris and was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper focuses on the concept of the Jante law (janteloven), formulated by
A. Sandemose in 1933 in his novel En flyktning krysser sitt spor. Fortelling om en morders
barndom (A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks. A story about a murderer’s childhood), which
later became an element of the cultural code of Denmark and Norway. In this study we
follow C. Levisen in his distinguishing between the “literary Jante law”, described by
A. Sandemose in his novel, and the “linguistic” Jante law, which is a collocation in the
Danish and Norwegian languages. This lexicalization of the concept has been brought
about by the specific Scandinavian mentality, conditioned by a number of reasons (the
agrarian Scandinavian culture, the Lutheran ethos). In the modern Danish and Norwegian
languages the concept of janteloven is negative and is used in specific types of discourse
(sports, popular culture, business, politics, psychology, schooling, immigration
problems, feminism). Besides, there are numerous reformulated Jante laws (den positive
jantelov, den omvendte jantelov, antijantelov, jenteloven, Danskerloven), which proves
the precedence of the notion in the Danish and Norwegian cultures. The dominating
American individualistic culture influences the development of a new system of values
(ambition, self-concern, pushiness are no longer viewed as negative qualities), which
results in a conflict between the traditional and the new in the Danish and Norwegian
cultures: the Jante law comes into conflict with the so-called achievement culture
(præstationskulturen). As a social construct and a secret regulator of public relations the
janteloven has found its place between the number of other concepts (hygge, trivsel and so on), yet the janteloven has been specifically reflected in political practices, both in its
formal expression (development of various “canons”) and in the methods of countering
the imposition of certain phenomena on the part of government authorities.

The article discusses the history of the only ratified charter that confirmed the
so-called Charles Privilege that would have enacted Frisian freedom (a presumably
thirteenth-century falsum). This charter was issued by Roman King Maximilian I on
23 September 1493 on request of representatives from the West Frisian territories. This
article discusses the background of this privilege. It gives a brief overview of the development
of Frisian liberty in its relation to Frisian history. Then the so-called Magnus
Legend, being connected with Frisian freedom, is discussed. It discusses briefly the alleged
privilege of Charlemagne and the Frisian privileges of Roman King and Count of
Holland William II (1248) and the Emperor Sigismund (1417). A sequel of this article
is planned for publication in the next issue of Scandinavian Philology. In that paper, a
more closely look will be given at Maximilian’s privilege, after which Frisian freedom
ended in 1498 for nearly 450 years. It will obtain as well a complete edition of the Latin
text of the charter and its English translation.

value:
The purpose of this article is a comprehensive study of O.-Icel. hel ‘the underworld;
the dead-goddess Hel’ in the Younger Edda, in the prose work of Snorri Sturluson
(1222–1225) and a comparative analysis with the corresponding lexeme in the Elder
Edda, the Old Icelandic poetic epic (the main manuscript of Codex Regius 2365 of the
second half of the 13th century). The material of the Younger Edda allows reconstructing
the semantic development of hel (locus) → Hel (its personification, owner). We
can state the presence of fundamental similarities, found in this lexeme in the Elder
and Younger Edda, manifested in various areas — in the common most frequent cases
(gen. and dat.) and the syntactic function of direction realized by the verbs of motion,
association with the bottom, synonymous predicates of the subject (to be, to live), extralinguistic
details (gates). In the Younger Edda O.-Icel. hel is a hyponym for heimr,
that is, it is one of the worlds along with Asgard, Midgard and the World of Giants,
while in the Elder Edda this lexeme has the antonym of O.-Icel. heimr, that is, as the
kingdom of death, it is opposed to one single concrete world of the living inhabited by
people — Midgard, ʽthe middle enclosed spaceʼ. If in the Elder Edda the anthropocentric
position dominates in the description of O.-Icel. hel, then theocentrism prevails in
the Younger Edda.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to identifying of general patterns and distinctive features
in the structure, meaning and evaluation of stable verbal complexes of comparative
semantics of the Swedish and Russian languages with a component-demonym. Stable
verbal complexes of comparative semantics with a demonic component are present in
both the Swedish and Russian languages. There is a significant quantitative disproportion
between stable comparisons and paremias of comparative semantics of both languages,
but in the Swedish language in favor of proverbs, and in Russian — in favor of
stable comparisons. It can be assumed that the names of evil spirits are more taboo in
Swedish stable comparisons, and also comparative phraseological units in general were
less subject to lexicographic fixation. The studied proverbs of the Swedish and Russian
languages are quantitatively comparable. Structurally, the similarity of the proverbs of
the two languages is manifested in the presence of such models as sentences with opposition
introduced by adversative conjunctions, and sentences with the presence of a
component in the comparative degree. But the analyzed Swedish proverbs are characterized
by such models as sentences with adjacent components, identity sentences and
sentences built according to the syntactic model “better… than…”, which are absent in the studied material of the Russian language. In turn, in the analyzed Russian proverbs
one can note models that are absent in Swedish ones: sentences built on the principle of
syntactic parallelism and collapsed comparison.

The article focuses on the study of Hoffmann traditions in Selma Lagerlöf ’s novel
“Gösta Berling’s Saga”. The features of Hoffman’s poetics in the novel are revealed by using
the methodology of the “Hoffman’s complex”, which is an ideological and thematic
complex of motives and stylistic techniques inherent in the works by E. T. A. Hoffman.
The “Hoffmann’s complex” is manifested in the novel in the problem of the rebellion of
the Romantic hero-creator in relation to faith and religion, the problem of the relationship
of the Romantic hero with femininity, the opposition of secular and Christian love,
the motive of mechanization of man and society in the new capitalist industrial formation.
The features of Hoffmann’s poetics were manifested in the novel “Gösta Berling’s
Saga” also in the interweaving of Hoffmann’s images (Don Juan (“Don Juan”), Medardus
(“The Devil’s Elixirs”) and plots (a defrocked monk, who under the influence of
wine as an incarnate temptation, commits crimes and experiences a split of personality
(“The Devil’s Elixirs”) and a rebellious Romantic hero in search of an unattainable ideal
world in which his disintegrated personality must find consolidation (“Don Juan”).
The conclusion sums up that S. Lagerlöf, relying on the plot, problems and images of
E. T. A. Hoffman’s works (“Don Juan”, “The Devil’s Elixirs”, “Adventure on New Year’s
Eve”), creates the author’s concept of spiritual transformation of personality through
Christian love and reconsiders the image of a Romantic hero, transforming it into a
new type of Christian Neo-Romantic hero.
