dc.description.abstract

value: In Poetics 25 (1461b1–3), Aristotle mentions critics who tend to misunderstand the text or read it inaccurately and thus criticise not the actual work, but rather their ideas on it. Some of the extant fragments of Zoilus (4th c. BC), the best-known and the most notorious critic of all the Aristotle’s contemporaries, imply that his critique was sometimes based on misreading and misinterpreting of the text so he could be one of those whom Aristotle meant. This article deals with three fragments attributed to Zoilus (two of them are found in the Scholia to the Iliad, the third one is quoted in Ps. Longinus’ De Sublimitate), each containing criticism towards certain passages in Homer’s poems. On closer examination it turns out that all the inconsistencies Zoilus postulated can be explained, should we read the text more carefully. Hence Zoilus dealt not with what is written but rather with what seemed to him to be convenient for his criticism.

dc.description.abstract

value: In this piece, attention is once again drawn to the locus classicus of Euripidean sententious outbursts, lines 599–602 put in the mouth of Hecuba mourning her daughter Polyxena. Suggested for bracketing by W. M. Sakorraphos in 1893 and athetised by J. Diggle (1984) and D. Kovacs (1995) in their respective editions (although not in the editions of J. Gregory (1999) and K. Matthiessen (2010), the lines (and the whole passage 592–602) have also shouldered a weight of Euripidean Weltanschauung doctrines built on their slender frame. A brief overview of scholarly judgment, often overexacting, prompts one to occupy the middling ground allowing both for the possibility of the genuine character of the lines 599–602 and their relevance in context (and not only expressing the ideas current in Euripides’ times) with both birth and upbringing contributing to virtuous character. The metaphor in line 603 should not be considered a brave mannerism, or a marginal remark of some critic, but a marker of a change of topic, its archery imagery well on the side of trite.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article argues that in the first verse of Catullus’ epigram 85, the commonly found translation of quare as ‘why’ in English versions since the 17th century, but particularly in translations produced in the last fifty years, cannot be accepted. In the context of Catullus’s poetry, with poems 72 and 75 offering an explicit background to and rationale for the contradiction in the poet’s feelings between love and hate, and in the light of the incontrovertible connotation of quare (or qua re) as ‘how’ in a passage of Terence’s Eunuchus, the correct translation of the word can only be ‘how’. Some suggestions are made to account for the origins and the persistence of the mistranslation. The translation as ‘why’ in the prose version in the 1912 Loeb edition edited by F. W. Cornish is suggested to have influenced a generation of English-speaking students, and Martial’s epigram 1.32 is invoked as a cause. But it is further argued that in taking Catullus’s epigram as a model for his own, Martial may have expressly intended to suggest that the meaning of quare as ‘why’ that was current in his time was different in that very respect from the connotation ‘how’ clearly intended by his predecessor.

dc.description.abstract

value: The paper analyzes the function of the prefix inter-, which allows to reduce the 15 main senses (described in the OLD) to the basic two. The sense of the prefix depends on the situation described with the compound: a) the situation of dividing space: ‘a border between two or more points disconnecting them’ (inter hostes flumen erat). Most of the verbs in this group are transitive and accompanied by a countable object: intercalare ‘to insert a day or month into the calendar’; interloqui ‘to interrupt, to speak between’. b) the situation of connected space: ‘all the space (or time) between two points connecting them within the same situation’ (inter arma tacent musae). The majority of these verbs are transitive and are used with an uncountable object: interbibere ‘to drink dry, drain’; interlegere ‘to pick off here and there, to thin’. Some verbs can have either sense depending on the context (interesse: a. ‘to lie between, intervene’ modo inter me atque te murus intersit (Cic. Cat. 1. 10.), b. ‘to be in the company of, to take part’ legit scripta de se carmina, legit historias, et posteritati suae interfuit (Plin. Ep. 2.1.2). On the basis of this classification principle four verbs are analyzed in which the meaning of the prefix inter- is unclear: interire, interficere, interimere, intellegere. Three of them have the prefix inter- in the sense of division and form pairs of compounds (an intransitive verb of state interire — a verb of action interimere, interficere). The verb intellegere has two senses as different stages of its semantic development: 1. ‘to choose between’, ‘to notice, discern’ and 2. ‘to collect together (all the parts)’ > ‘to grasp, understand (the whole picture of an object or a situation)’.

dc.description.abstract

value: Vitamin D deficiency is quite сommon and highly prevalent in some regions of the world, seriously сompromising quality of elderly people life. Optimal vitamin D level in serum is assoсiated with stronger muscles and indicates additional 4–11 % improvement of muscular performance and 17 % risk reduction of elderly people fаlls. Inсreased risk of falls due to sarcopenia is strongly associated with such undеsirable health outcomes as disаbility, institutionalization, and eventually death. This study analyzes vitamin D status in 69 elderly people with sarcopenia among 230 patricipants (96.5 % of women, mean age of 74.1 ± 6.5 years), equaling to 30 % (8.7 % in men, 91.3 % in women) prevalence in this age group. For evaluation of sarcopenia level, EWGSOP criteria were used. Muscle strength was assessed by a handheld dynamometer and muscle functioning was evaluated by SPPB-tests (walking speed, Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand-Test and standing balance). Insufficient vitamin D supply was found in 97 % of subjects with sarcopenia and 85.8 % — without sarcopenia. Optimal vitamin D levels were identified only in 3 % of sarcopenic subjects and 14.2 % of non-sarcopenic ones with p < 0.01. Mean Vitamin 25 (OH) D level in general population constituted 19.6 ± 5.44 ng/ml. Mean vitamin D level amog sarcopenic subjects aged 65–84 years constituted 18.2 ± 3.04 ng / ml, while among older individuals aged 85+ years — 15.1 ± 6.43 ng / ml, p > 0.05. Histroy of falls within 12 months prior to the study was reported in 89.9 % of patients with sarcopenia. Among them vitamin D deficiency was found in 60.3 % (95 % CI: 53.0–67.4, χ2 = 8.81 with p = 0.012). 85.8 % of individuals with vitamin D deficiency had low muscle strength (χ2 = 174.61, p < 0.001). 60.4 % of participants with sarcopenia and vitamin D deficiency had low total SPPB score (CI: 45.3–74.2, p < 0.05). Obtained data is indicative of high vitamin D deficiency prevalence. It was found out that Sarcopenia increases risk of vitamin D deficiency by 1.2 times (RR 1.2, 95 % CI: 1.06–1.36, p < 0.01) in all studied age groups.

New frameshift mutation found in PKP2 gene in arhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia: a family case study. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Medicine, 2019, vol. 14, issue 1, pp. 3–13.

dc.description.abstract

value: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC) is a progressive myocardial disease that primarily affects the right ventricle. It develops predominantly at young age, and the first symptom is often sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmia. Diagnosis using standard cardiac assessment may be hampered due to slight and nonspecific clinical signs at early stage of the disease, particularly in relatives of the patient. Molecular genetic testing can provide more information for clinical decision making. Here we report a patient with a clinical diagnosis of ARVC who was found to have a new frame shift mutation in the PKP2 gene through molecular genetic testing using Next Generation Sequencing methods. Subsequent family assessment showed that all three of the proband’s children also carried this mutation. The results of molecular diagnostics allowed us to assess the risk of developing ARVC and SCD in relatives of the proband, as well as to set up individual cardiac assessment protocols. Results obtained emphasize the importance of family screening when a pathogenic mutation is detected in the primary patient, and demonstrate the efficiency of genetic testing in cardiological practice.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article presents the period of development of medicine in Russia from the beginning of the 9th century until the end of the 18th century. Before 1613, most of the population in Russia did not have access to qualified medical care and relied on traditional folk remedies. After conversion of Kievan Rus’ to Byzantium Christianity, monks provided basic medical care in the monasteries along with folk healers. At the same time, the ruling classes had access to qualified medical assistance, which was provided by foreign physicians. During the reign of Mikhail Fyodorovich Romanov (1613–1645) many foreign doctors were invited to Russia, including representatives of the Netherlands, graduates of the Leiden University. The development of medical education in European areas was largely carried out by foreign doctors, in particular, doctors from Holland. Hermann Kaau-Boerhaave and Pavel Zakharievich Condoidi, Dutch representatives and graduates of the Leiden University played a particularly important role in the development of Russian Medicine in the 18th century. In 1654 the first medical school was opened in Russia. State institutions were established to organise and supervise the work of pharmacists, doctors medicinae and barber-surgeons. The treatment of patients in the 17–18th centuries advanced from primitive folk to more advanced methods based on science including surgical interventions.

The importance of use of endovascular methods in the provision of medical care to patients with critical limb ischemia. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Medicine, 2019, vol. 14, issue 1, pp. 14–24.

dc.description.abstract

value: This paper contains general information concerning angiosurgeons activity of St. Petersburg regional vascular centers at the period from 2011 to 2015. In particular specialists’ activities assessment obtained by modeling of municipal multi-field hospitals medical assistance are provided for 403 patients with critical limb ischemia. All the patients’ arterial beds were affected by atherosclerosis. Open reconstruction of arteries was performed for 278 patients, endovascular revascularization — for 51, and 15 patients underwent hybrid surgery. In 55 cases it was decided to abstain from the revascularization. In case of open surgical services endarterectomy loop formed by aortoiliac and femoropopliteal segments (190) as well as shunting arterial reconstructions (45) prevailed. In case of endoarterial treatment vascular correction was performed in femoropopliteal tibial segments (37 observations). In cases of refusal to reconstruct the arteries, amputation of lower limbs (15) and lumbar sympathectomy (14) was performed. Angiotropic therapy took place in 30 cases. In the early postoperative period, the complications of open surgical treatment were detected in 21.6 % of cases; complications of endovascular surgical treatment — in 15 % and complications of hybrid surgical treatment — in 13.3 % of cases. Among the complications, the vascular thrombosis in the area of their reconstruction (35 %) and the lack of blood supply to the limbs tissues in permeate vessels (19.7 %) prevailed. No fatal cases were observed. In general, the use of endovascular and hybrid reconstructions of the vascular bed at the specialized divisions of medical organizations for patients with critical limb ischemia and multifocal atherosclerosis justifies itself.

dc.description.abstract

value: Current research aimed to investigate informational content of brainstem acoustic evoked potentials (BAEPs) and auditory cognitive event-related potential — mismatch negativity (MMN) in assessment of brain functional status and cognitive functions in patients with ischemic stroke. MMN is a component of auditory event-related potential with peak latency at 100–250 ms, which reflects automatic process of difference detection between stimuli and neurodynamic processes in auditory cortex at pre-attentive stage. Clinical and neurophysiological examination, including registration of BAEPs and MMN was performed for 22 patients (12 — with ischemic stroke in carotid circulation, 10 — without cerebrovascular diseases). According to results obtained using scales of MMSE, FAB, test with 10 words repetition and Schulte tables, patients with IS demonstrated cognitive impairment as compared to control group. During BAEPs examination, functional changes in brainstem were observed (increased latency of wave V and elongation of interpeak intervals III-V on both sides and III–V ipsilaterally) in patients with ischemic stroke. Also they demonstrated increased peak latency and decreased amplitude of MMN. It points at a decline in auditory discrimination accuracy, shortened lifetime of memory traces and deficit in involuntary attention switching and also indicates of cognitive impairment.

value: Optimization of the diagnostics, increase of echinococcosis treatment quality and methods of prevention. Experience in echinococcosis surgical treatment based on material obtained from 231 patients treated in hospitals of the Khorezm region of the Republic of Uzbekistan is presented. Single cysts were diagnosed in 165 (71.4 %) cases, multiple — for 66 (28.6 %) ones. Immunoassay complex of instrumental examination for serological tests was used in enzyme detection. Patients operated for multiple and combined echinococcosis constituted 84 persons with total cysts number 251. Various radical resections of liver were performed: closed echinococcectomy performed constituted 114, including 21 partial pericystectomy; semiclosed echinococcectomy — 9, including 3 partial pericystectomy; ideal echinococcectomy was performed in four cases. Chemical treatment of residual cavity was used, as well as physical treatment methods (ultrasonic cavitation + decasan). In the postoperative period, prophylactic chemotherapy was carried out (Zentel, 12 mg per kilogram of weight). Thorough comprehensive diagnostics is required for combined and multiple echinococcosis detection, including both immunodiagnostics (IgG) and instrumental examination (ultrasound scan, MSCT, or MRI, X-rays).

value: Forensic-medical examination of injured car accident victim has a great relevance. Especially difficult is a car injury of wheel moving through the human body. In situations, where the driver was guilty, had left place of an accident and neither the trace from the tread nor sidesurface of the tire tread were visually visible on the victim’s body or clothing, the experts did not have sufficient reliable signs to determine a type and mass of the car. We assumed that, as a result of moving the car wheel, we’ll observe on the victim body and clothing of specific elements from different kinds of rubber tier. We used spectral methods (XRF spectrometry and ESA). There is evidence discerned, that in the damaged part of the victim’s body and clothing, there is a contamination — chemical elements of the rubber composition: zinc, iron, aluminum, calcium, silicon, magnesium and manganese because of the moving wheel of the car. In experiments with imitators of human tissues and clothing an amount of metal “transferred” to them from tires of an automobile or truck was established. An example of a practical application of the new knowledge is a commission forensic medical expertise.

Value of public health risk indicator at different values of air pollution caused by road-cars operation was determined. Dependence of public health risk on distance from the roads with different traffic intensity was determined. Growth of vehicle-to-population ratio resulted in high level of air pollution formation in megalopolises, caused by fuel combustion; road surface destruction and accumulation of braking system and tires wastes. Solid particles in atmospheric air samples by 70 % consists of aluminosilicates, which provide fibrogenic effect, contains heavy metal and substances with a pronounced carcinogenic effect (Benz-(a)-pyrene, dibenz-(a, h)-anthracene, Benz-(B)-fluoranthene and chrysene). It was shown that non-carcinogenic risk caused by vehicle emissions in case of traffic intensity constituting 2500–3000 cars per hour for population up to 30 years old was determined as negligible; up to 40 years — as moderate, at the age of 50 years — as high and for the age over 53 years as very high. Respiratory and cardiovascular systems were determined as the most susceptive. Dependence of the risk level on distance from the road is determined.

dc.description.abstract

value: In the present paper, we reviewed the studies relevant to the issue of intentional forgetting and assumed that it would be reasonable to examine whether the intention to forget itself decreases the probability to retrieve the to-be-forgotten stimulus or it should be combined with forgetting-evoking means. We reported the empirical study intended to verify their independence or interdependence. 20 Russian - made up language word pairs were exposed to participants (N = 71) three times. They then viewed each Russian word from a pair once, with randomized instructions “Forget”, “Remember”, “Repeat”, “Forget by generating associations to the Russian word” or a short cognitive task. Self-reports on the mnemonic strategies were collected. Recognition tests were administered two times - four hours and two months (N = 32) later. The probability to succeed by chance was 1 to 3. The main findings consisted of the fact that at two months delay the made-up words in the “Forget” and the “Remember” conditions were recognized the best, the words that were not processed in the context of any conscious mnemonic goals (“Repeat” and “Task”) were recognized worse, and the words in the “Forget by generating associations to the Russian word” condition were recognized the worst. This result brings us to the conclusion that the intention to achieve any goal with mnemonic content itself protects the material from forgetting at long time intervals. In contrast, the conjunction of mnemonic goal with congruent means might form a psychological tool that makes possible to keep the initial intention effective.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the significance of the epistemology of the study of political culture. The
author believes that the dominance of positivist research strategies in the studies of the political
and cultural dynamics of society only partially reflect the qualitative changes in modern political
communications. The disintegration of the contemporary political orders into a varied range of
national communities, political ideologies, and structures of governance has highlighted a necessity
to properly theorize anthropological dimensions of political culture. According to the author,
the research strategies of cultural sociology, which interpret political culture from the standpoint
of the dynamics of symbolization of meaning structures, are more promising. In this case, political
culture appears as a semantic programming of the collective political experience through the
symbolic classification of political events through space and time. If the concept of political culture
in the traditional discourse of political science made possible to observe the dynamics of the
ideal in political communications from the standpoint of a rational citizen, then an analysis of the
ideal in politics through the concept of political memory allows answering questions how and why
“the ideal” is important for political pragmatism. The study of the specifics of basic culture-anthropological
forms of political solidarity is relevant for this strategy of studying political culture.
The study of the symbolization of space-time dimensions of political memory allows us to more
adequately reflect the dynamics of modern political communications. An important avenue for the
study of the political memory of modern societies is the study of the practices of symbolizing the
political everyday life, in which the political myth and political branding play a decisive role. The
author emphasizes the importance of the description and theoretical analysis of the role of symbolic
figures of political memory and symbolic practices of their symbolization. Using the theory
and methodology of cultural sociological analysis of political culture as an epistemological basis,
the author proposes a new theoretical approach to the study of political culture.

The aim of this paper is not only ontological, but also purely pragmatic. While we are preparing
for the transition to new educational standards for the group of specialties and areas of training
named “Political Science and Regional Studies”, this paper is addressed at Russian professionals
who have been teaching in this field for many years and invites them to evaluate the current stage
and to predict the future of the institutionalization of Political science in Russian higher education.
To identify the international and the nation-specific, the paper uses a comparative analysis
of twelve Russian and twelve Western universities, the curricula of leading Western and Russian
universities where Political science are taught, as well as employs synthesis methods and analogies,
by means of which we propose the components of the educational model which are more
consonant with modern requirements for professional political scientists. The conclusions made
in this study relate primarily to the fact that the Political science in the Russian context of higher
education is unjustifiably positioned among the disciplines of the humanities cycle, which attracts applicants unwilling to study mathematics and sciences, or to receive a wide range of social science
knowledge. Russian programmes are also devoid of numerous components that could make
the graduates of Political science departments more attractive in the labour market. Finally, it is
concluded that the curricula should include subjects that help to form competencies corresponding
to a whole range of new requirements that the information society makes to the level and
content of knowledge of a modern political scientist, including Big Data, a deep understanding
of the interrelationship of the Internet and the political sphere, as well as other social spheres.

The article attempts to characterize the latest trends in the development of Baltic studies in Russian
political science. This area of research remains peripheral in the political regionalism and
foreign regional (area) studies. The most visible problem of modern Baltic research is the definition
of the object itself — the Baltic region. The Baltic region as a transboundary space remains
an imperfect “l’economie-monde” and remains threefold: European, Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian;
a symbol of cooperation and competition. The current situation in the Baltic studies is connected
with the ambiguity of the region, which is noticeable in the clear division of interests of political
scientists into two areas: the Baltic States and Fennoscandia. At the same time, the Kaliningrad
region is an absolute priority in the domestic regional studies of Baltic issues. In foreign regional
studies there appear occasional works devoted to Denmark, Germany, and Poland. In Russia, two administrative regions of foreign countries more often than others become objects of study,
namely Itä-Suomen lääni (Eastern Finland) and Warmia-Masurian Voivodship (Poland). The topic
of cross-border cooperation at the regional level is the most prominent in Baltic studies. Another
major topic is the problems of Euro-Atlantic integration in the Baltic region. To date, several research
centres have been established in Russia: in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Petrozavodsk,
and Pskov. The main directions of studying the problems of the socio-political development
of the Baltic region have been formed, publishing projects have gained a high reputation, and
the institutional environment of the research community is being formed. Such a state of Baltic
studies in Russia can be the basis for the development of a wider area of research in the field of
cross-border regional studies.

The article brings to light the process of institutionalization of law education in Russia, taking place
due to the modernization of the institution of the Commissioner for human rights. The evolution of
the latter is shown to be a process of updating and expanding the list of its functions. In modern
constitutional law, the main function of the institution is human rights law, while the security functions
have also expanded markedly. These are such functions as law education, legislative activity,
parliamentary control, and public control. The institutionalization of law education is demonstrated to cover both the federal and regional levels of public authorities and to be expressed in updating
the ideology, forms, methods and recipients of law education, and in forming practices adequate
to the information society and the service state. The indicators of this process are also changes
in the organizational and information support for the activities of human rights commissioners in
the Russian Federation. Traditional and new technologies of legal education used by human rights
commissioners are distinguished, forms of involvement of human rights commissioners in the
system of professional legal education are defined. Law education of civic society activists is highlighted
as an independent aspect in the institutionalization of law education, which contributes to
citizen mobilization and public capacity of civic society, brings together domestic and European
practices of law education. The features of law education for civil activists are allocated, the first
experience of citizen education is analyzed, the offers for the regional concepts of law education
reflecting these features are formulated.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is devoted to the history of the creation of the Jewish Museum in St. Petersburg in
the early 20th century. The process of this complex and laborious business began in the 1860s.
It was closely connected with the emergence of the Jewish intelligentsia in the country and
with its awareness of its historical tasks in the national education of the people. First of all,
the article highlights the following aspects of this case: its national character, its populist and
liberal orientation, and the role of patronage. Despite the fact that the actual ideologist of the
whole process of creating the museum was a member of the Russian populist movement, a
member of the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries, writer, playwright and poet S. (Sh.) An-sky
(Sh. Rapport) — this became a nationwide case. It was attended not only by revolutionaryminded
people, but also by a representative of the Russian liberal movement—a prominent
participant in the Russian political process, Cadet M. Vinaver — Zionists, Yiddishists and
representatives of almost all the numerous Jewish parties and public organizations. The article
highlights the point that, according to the idea of its creators, the museum was part of a single scientific and cultural system, designed to unite all national institutions under the auspices of
the Jewish Historical and Ethnographic Society, officially established in 1908. Much space in
the work is given to the history of expeditions, led by S. An-skim, that worked on the territory
of the Jewish Pale to collect materials, documents and objects, and the liquidation of the
Museum in 1929.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article are considered the possibilities of the problem of classification and specific
features of a museum exposition. One of the most important classification criteria is the
museum-exposition design method, since the choice of method embodies a certain type of
thinking and knowledge of the exposition theme, and it directs the choice of means for creating
a specific museum model of reality of a particular type. The method correlates with the
modeling function of the exposition; it allows you to select the types of museum expositions
according to the design method. Well-known categories (systematic, ensemble/landscape,
thematic, museum-figurative, figurative-plot) are highlighted along with types of museum
expositions: science; popular science (environmental, thematic, complex); and synthetic. A
brief overview of the problem of classification and typology of expositions and exhibitions
in foreign museology allows us to present several approaches. Based on the cultural-historical
approach, E. Svetsimsky identified three types of modernization of expositions. Modernization
aimed at ensuring the scientific nature of expositions has, since the 19th century,
produced a type of systematic exposition. Modernization of a didactic character led to the
formation of illustrative-thematic and illustrative-narrative expositions. Modernization subordinate
to aesthetic principles contributed to the formation of artistic methods of exhibition
design. The diversity of approaches to classification in foreign museology has been systematized by P. van Mensch. These type-specific schemes have many intersections with classification
according to the method of exposure design and direct analogies with the kinds and
types identified in it. Adaptation of this classification to the profile system of the museum is
considered on the example of an artistic exposition. T. P. Kalugina characterized the following
types of exposition: a decorative complex, an academic series, an exhibit in focus and a
problem grouping. These types can be considered as a special case of a more universal classification,
which relies on the cognitive approach.

The name of Prince Alexander Ivanovich Baryatinsky is widely known in the history of Russia,
primarily in military history. A brilliant aristocrat, military and state leader, as well as a member
of the Council of State, a conqueror of the Caucasus, who managed to capture the most
rebellious leader of the Highlanders — Imam Shamil. But he is also known as a passionate
collector and bibliophile. Alexander Ivanovich collected rare books on the history of Russia,
as well as military relics. A collection of Baryatinsky’s books, for example, is now kept in the
State Public Historical Library. In this article, the author examines and analyzes the collection
of objects dating from the 18th–19th centuries. The collection is kept in the National Museum
of Dagestan named after A. A. Taho-Godi. Earlier, in the second half of the 19th century, it
belonged to the viceroy to the emperor in the Caucasus, the well-known commander of the
Russian army during the Caucasian war, Prince A. I. Baryatinsky. Previously, the collection
was located in the Prince’s Kursk estate, in Marino. The author also cites some biographical
information about Prince Baryatinsky and analyzes the milestones of his life. Among the items
are some not related to the Caucasus, for example, Japanese swords, a Spanish knife, a tomahawk
and more, as well as a leather saddle that belonged to the prince after the Caucasus. It is
known that this is an English sport saddle of a later period. The collection includes a number
of French blade weapons and firearms of the 18th century. The collection has never been an
object of serious scientific research. The study is based on sources of museum origin and a
wide range of relevant sources on the topic.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article explores the problem of reception of poetics and content in the case of the Swedish version-translation of Andrey Platonov’s novel “Chevengur” (“Don Quijote i revolutionen”, 1973, translated by Sven Vallmark). The main differences between the reduced Swedish edition of “Chevengur” and the original are revealed and characterized. The conceptual solution of Sven Vallmark is to present Platonov’s novel through the lense of the world famous novel “Don Quixote” by M. de Cervantes. The comparative-typological analysis of the novel about the Russian revolution and the Spanish epic shows essential similarities in the genre “polyphony” of the travel novel and grotesque imagery. The constellation of Hamlet’s and Don Quixote’s codes in “Chevengur” plays an important role. The figurative parallel of “Don Quixote — Hamlet” reflects the internal polemic between the devotion to the revolutionary ideal and, on the other hand, doubt, creating a genre synthesis of utopia and dystopia. In the Swedish translation “Don Quijote i revolutionen” the structural principle of the constellation is kept despite a formal violation of the balance of literary codes: Hamlet’s features are represented by the essential nature of the images of “don quixote in revolution”. The abridgements to the plot and to the figurative system were made by way of “condensation”, while preserving the central ideological and figurative complexes.

dc.description.abstract

value: The author presents a new interpretation of the recently discovered Rakkestad-stone from eastern Norway. The runic inscription on this stone is to be dated in the period AD 350–500 and its language is Proto-Norse (Ancient Nordic). Every new find of an older runic inscription is a sensation as such and this applies to the Rakkestad-stone as well. The article presents an alternative reading and interpretation of this runestone in a framework of fixed runic formulae and phrases. The author argues that the inscription running along the narrow side (line A) is a syntactic unit in its own right, which is separated from the sequence inisni on the broad surface of the runestone (line B and C); in this sentence the verb writu ʻI writeʼ or wrait ʻI wroteʼ is probably elided, i.e. simply omitted. The author suggests the reading of the first two (slightly damaged) runes as ek ʻIʼ (and not lu, allegedly imperative ʻhew, chisel, carve!ʼ). This yields the frequent ek irilaR-formula, which has several well-known parallels in the older runic inscriptions. This sequence is commonly translated as ʻI [am] the runemasterʼ, but the technical term irilaR is certainly in need of comment. Also, the author focuses on the word raskaR, which, as he argues, is a personal name or by-name ʻswift oneʼ (German rasch), which yet again has many lexical-semantic parallels in the corpus of the older runic inscriptions. Rather than overstraining reconstruction, the author builds his interpretation on well-attested runic inscriptions and further parallels from the Northand West Germanic languages.

Březinová H. Den lange rejse — Johannes V. Jensen and the myth of
modernity. Scandinavian Philology, 2019, vol. 17, issue 1, pp. 97–113.

dc.description.abstract

value: Johannes V. Jensen (1873–1950) wrote a six-novel series on evolution he later entitled Den lange Rejse (The Long Journey, 1908–1923). Scholars have usually classified The Long Journey as mythic because of those passages in the series that share common features with the specific Jensen’s short prose genre that went down in the history of Danish literature as myte (myth). This genre, i.e. Jensen’s myte, is closely related to the lyric mode; thus, scholars have considered mainly the lyric passages of The Long Journey mythic. I propose to read The Long Journey as a myth because of its plot; in other words, because of its epic. In the series, Jensen intentionally alluded to the legitimizing function of myth. Therefore, I use the theory of myth suggested by Manfred Frank and Leszek Kolakowski and in doing so I focus on the pragmatic function of myth in society. Hence, the series can be perceived as one among many re-mythologizing efforts in the 20th century. On that account, I juxtapose The Long Journey with Thomas Mann’s (1875–1955) view of the employment of myth by the Nazis, which he fiercely opposed to in his tetralogy Joseph und seine Brüder (Joseph and His Brothers, 1926–1943). It becomes apparent that Mann’s approach to myth had clear affinities with that of Jensen since both authors tried to assail the ruling paradigm. At the same time, the potential danger of recycling myths in order to fight myths becomes obvious — especially concerning Jensen’s adoration of the Nordic race in the two first novels of the series.

dc.description.abstract

value: The story of Sigurd the Dragon Slayer exists in the major Germanic traditions (except Old English), represented by texts recorded between the second half of the 13th and the mid-19th centuries, viz. the Old Icelandic Eddas and the Vǫlsungasaga, the German Nibelungenlied and the three Faroese ballads recorded by V. U. Hammershaimb. One part of the Faroese cycle (up to the assassination of Sjúrður) is similar to the Icelandic version of the story, the rest being reminiscent of the German tradition. (The boundary lies within the second ballad.) In the Icelandic tradition, plots either make up a succession implying continuation and pre-history (heroic epic) or they may be confined within the boundaries of one poem (mythological epic). The Faroese Sjúrður ballads, although heroic, are closer to the latter type (the limits of the poem and the plot coincide). Both the ballads and the epic show traits of orality (formulaic style, repetitions, etc.), suggesting variability and, hence, lack of fixity typical of literary tradition. Normally, orality is put an end to as a result of recording. In the ballad tradition, the process is characterized by a specificity connected with the circumstances of performance (dance combined with singing), and the active role of the audience, who were active participants, which implied some knowledge of the texts sung. In this way, the ballads acquired stability to become, later on, fixed texts and a special genre within literary tradition.

issues of teaching undergraduate students. Scandinavian Philology, 2019, vol. 17, issue 1, pp. 178–185.

dc.description.abstract

value: The Dutch-Russian language pair in terms of interpretation and its teaching to undergraduate students shows a typical picture not only for Germanic, but also for most European languages. Nevertheless, there are a number of problematic issues, both objective and subjective, typical of the language pair and also, probably, of other “small” Germanic languages, which include the Scandinavian ones. Objective difficulties — not dependent on the translator — include: 1) the geography of the language region and its dialect specificity; 2) the widest possible range of potential topics for interpreter and, as a result, the inability to specialize; 3) “torn” work schedule of the translator; 4) insufficient quantity and quality of dictionaries and parallel texts on narrow topics; 5) a limited number of hours at the university for the development of interpretation skills. The subjective — the so-called translator problems — include: 1) poor language skills (both foreign and native); 2) lack of oral interpreting skills (both consecutive and simultaneous); 3) lack of general communication skills; 4) limited opportunities for practice. A detailed consideration of each of the above aspects is aimed at developing a common strategy for optimally overcoming the objective difficulties of interpretation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, creating a plan to optimize the process of learning interpretation in a specialized university, in order to eliminate the limitations of subjective nature.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article is devoted to the problem of Old Russian writing’s typology. Traditionally, it is presented as a sequence of three main types of letters replacing each other – ustav, poluustav and skoropis’. The article attempts to show the inconsistency and artificiality of this scheme, created in the science of the second half of the XVIII – the first quarter of the XIX century by A. L. Schlezer and E. Bolkhovitinov. The concept of poluustav seems unreasonably broad. It brings together incomparable phenomena: the ‘‘senior poluustav’’, which appears in the literature, in fact, as a reduced version of the modern Statute of the XIV century and the ‘‘junior poluustav’’, the ideas about which are not associated with the degree of negligence and simplicity of writing: it includes a solemn, large letter, and a smaller one. The set of features of the senior poluustav described in the literature does not justify its allocation as an independent type of writingassociated with the second half of the XIV century. As for the junior poluustav, its sharp separation from the previous history of the development of Old Russian writing seems to be unjustified. The new features peculiar to it are for the most part not replacing the old ones, but used along with them. It’s possible to talk not about a break with the previous tradition in the end of XIV – the beginning of XV century, but about its enrichment with new graphic forms. In the writing of the XV–XVII century there are not rare, but rather the predominant type of manuscripts in which new styles are used in a limited way, they are not style-makers.

dc.description.abstract

value: Due to its outstanding artistic, cultural and historical value, Pirot carpet weaving is considered to be the highest achievement of the Serbian weaving tradition. Its main characteristics, meaning and historical path is considered in article. The transformation of the city Pirot in the center of carpet weaving in the XIX century was promoted by its advantageous geographical position and economic factor, which consisted in the distant herding traditionally developed in this region, which provided the raw materials necessary for the development of weaving - high-quality sheep wool. After the liberation of southern Serbia in 1878 from the Ottoman Yoke, the Pirotickilims became a prestigious attribute for interior design of Serbian population. At the end of the XIX- the beginning of the XX centuries, during the period of renewal and constitutionalization of the Serbian state, they entered the public space and assumed the function of the Serbian national symbol. Pirotkilims began to decorate sacred objects, royal courts, government offices. They were act as a solemn attribute at historical events, competitions, parades, congresses and major international exhibitions. Their hand-made productiontechnology remained unchangedfor centuries. So in the 21th century these items are single-piece, exclusive, expensive products, which value is determined by the geographical origin, historicity and symbolism. Archaic patterns, traditional techniques, natural materials and the history of their existence make the Kilims worthy objects of museum collections all over the world, but their richest collection is kept in the EthnographicMuseum in Belgrade.

dc.description.abstract

value: The territory of present-day Hungary played an important role for the Rus’ chroniclers as the original land of the Slavs. The so-called Story of the Book Translation (called so by Alexander Shakhmatov) described the fates of the Slavic inhabitants of the Danubian region, which were suppressed by the Valachians and Hungarians. There is a question if the Hungarian medieval chroniclers noted the Slavic-Hungarian contacts in the time of the Conquest of the Land? My article is devoted to this topic. After the presentation of the chronicles (Gesta Hungarorum by an anonymous notary of king Béla III, Gesta by Simon of Kéza and many late medieval chronicles known as the Chronicle composition of the 14th century) I describe the information about the relationship of the Hungarian conquerors with the local inhabitants. They are basing mainly on oppression. The Slavs, Czechs, Bulgarians and Valachians fought against the Hungarians and were cruelly defeated, but they asked also their protection from the fear. Guile and deception was one of the method of the conquest. There was also the peaceful way of connection of the land to the own Hungarian territory – it was the dynastical marriage. The names of the local heroes opposing to the Hungarians as Zuatapolug or Menumorout (Ménmarót = Great Moravian) show that they were connected to Great Moravia. I think that the Great Moravian oral tradition about the state and the Moravian-Hungarian relationship preserved in Hungarian Kingdom. It was transmitted by minstrels. Their stories were bricks which constructed the Hungarian identity stories noted in the chronicles.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problems raised in the article by E. A. Lyakhovitskiy “To the problem of the Old Russian writing’s typology” are discussed. The following opinions are voiced. Such script characteristics as accuracy, sloppy, simplicity, etc., do not determine the type of writing. In determining the type of Cyrillic writing, one should take into account such constitutive features as the pace of movement; “Weight” of the writing; height and proportions of letters; letters running in more than two lines, and their amount (in the middle of the line); inclination; general form of the pen movement; connectedness, etc. The graphic type of writing is determined by ideological, social and cultural attitudes, value orientations. It is possible to speak about normative, regulated, writing and about systemicwriting, deprived of regulation and any control in terms of finding the best forms for quick execution.
The scheme ustav – poluustav – skoropis’ incorrectly reflects the evolution of Old Russian writing. When the skoropis’ came, ustav did not disappear. For a long time, these graphic types of writing coexisted, being distributed over various texts, depending on their purpose and language used. The polarization of the “ustav” and “poluustav” as the early (XI–XIV) and later (XV–XVII) book letters is not justified. At least until the middle of the XVI century. Books were written by script called the “ustav”. The self-value and self-sufficiency of skoropis’ writing asserted in the conditions of expansion of the pragmatic relations scope between individuals. The authority of this writing was due to the institutionalization of secular writing, the development of the bureaucratic management, the growth of professionalization of activity related to the preparation of documents, the importance of operation and credibility of the secular authorities and its administrative capacity. The factor for skoropis’ script was the understanding that the age-old, authoritative, tangible and contemplative tradition of writing could be subordinated, purposefully changed, incorporated into the writing radical innovations, and do it for rational purposes.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article is devoted M. V. Belov’s book «Discovery of the “Slavonic brothers”: Russian travelers in the Balkans in the first half of the XIX century» (St. Petersburg, Nestor-History, 2018). The reviewer notes that in addition to the publication of a representative body of sources, the book includes an analytical article, which sets out the author’s concept of the formation of ideas about the Slavic “brotherhood” in Russian travels in the Balkans. The author of the book convincingly shows the complex nature of this process, discovering that the image of the Balkan Slavs in the studied texts depends on a number of factors. Along with the advantages of the book (deep contextualization of the studied ideas, their consideration in the Balkan as well as in the Russian perspective, attention to the theoretical and methodological aspects of the study etc.), the reviewer also points to some of its shortcomings (non-obvious principle of selection of texts for publication, short description of the texts). According to the reviewer’s observation, the author’s endeavour to combine different theoretical approaches generates an interesting and contradictory effect: the drift of the research focus between the observer’s own views and the reality described by him.

dc.description.abstract

value: ,The article discusses the hypothesis of the St. Petersburg historian Yevgeny Lyakhovitsky, who questioned the traditional pattern of development of Old Russian writing (ustav – poluustav – skoropis’). He considers the poluustav artificial construct invented by scientists. The discussion participants talk about five questions: 1. What should be put into the concept of “type of letter”? 2) To what extent does the scheme: ustav – poluustav – skoropis’ adequately reflect the evolution of Old Russian writing? 3. Is the polarizationof the ustav and poluustav valid as the early (XI–XIV) and later (XV–XVII) book letters? 4. What factors influenced the changes in Old Russian writing? Was it the influence of other cultures, changes in the old Russian book culture or something else? Is it possible to make direct connections between the evolution of letters and historical factors (the theory of the «Golden Age» and «damage to the letter» in crisistimes?) 5. How does the development of Cyrillic writing correlate in Ancient Russia and the Yugoslav countries? Did the evolution of writing go the same or in different ways? The participants in the discussion cite various hypotheses in which general principles can be singled out: the traditional scheme for the development of Old Russian writing (ustav – poluustav – skoropis’) is a conditional construction, created by scholars. However, to abandon it is necessary to bring new empirical and theoretical studies. Determining the characteristics of the writing types, the concept of «damage to the letter» are often subjective. At the same time, the study of writingtypes is not a purely paleographic problem. A letter is an indicator of cultural, social, economic processes. When analyzing such evaluative categories as the “Golden Age”, it is hardly productive to involve the development of a letter in dependence on the ideas of cultural progress. The evolution of writing in the Russian and South Slavic book context proceeded in the same way, but under the influence of various factors, and in the end there were different results.

value: The «Slavic-Macedonian General History», a manuscript from the end of the 19th century, is the object of our interest. The author, Ǵorǵija M. Pulevski, died in 1893 and the manuscript remained unpublished until 2003. The work is comprised of three parts: a historical text presenting events from the earliest history through the Ottoman rule, up to the foundation of the national states of the Balkan Slavic peoples; an ethnography of the Balkan population; and a section on grammar. Taking the first steps in writing historiography, the author based his work on concepts of various authors. He glorified Macedonia’s past and highlighted the Slavic element in the Macedonian ethnogenesis, but he also wrote of the Balkan peoples, especially Slavic peoples. Considering representations of the past, we take into consideration the historical circumstances, characteristics of the time, as well as the author’s personal identity and views. In this analysis we try to define the place of this manuscript among contemporary works, analyzing it as a historical display.

dc.description.abstract

value: The issue of nation-building in Eastern Europe in modern studies is increasingly considered from the standpoint of constructivism. In the region, there is an active revision of ideas about the hierarchy of identities and the role of nations in its history. Therefore, the plots associated with the processes of constructing nations are in the current historiographic field. An example of such a study is a collective monograph: Stalunas, Darius (ed.). Spatial Concepts of Lithuania in the Long Nineteenth Century. Boston, 2016. It is devoted to the analysis of images and ideas about the “Lithuanian space”, which were formed in the “long 19th century” in the context of Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Belarusian nation-building. The creators of the book propose to use the concept of “spatial rotation” of the German academic tradition, in particular, Karl Schloegel, who interpreted the social space as a place in which “history takes place”. The study of this space, according to Schloegel, is part of the conceptual “spatial rotation”. The book is an undoubted step forward in the study of (self-) presentation of the nations of Eastern Europe. It is written on a wide range of sources, many of which are involved in this context for the first time, and is focused on modern approaches to the study of the national. The book sums up a certain amount of current research on the “Lithuanian national”, and became a stage in the study of the mental and historical “Lithuanian space”.

dc.description.abstract

value: Scandinavian influence in the history of English caused by the Old Norse and Old Danish invasions of the 8th — early 11th centuries is a popular topic in historical studies. The specific nature of the English-Scandinavian contacts explains the fact that the results were registered in the Middle English period. Traditionally attributed to Scandinavian influence are numerous loan words, certain elements of consonantal system, reduction and loss of unstressed inflexions and the change of the morphological type. The paper aims at reconsidering the Scandinavian impact and argues that the evolution of systemic linguistic levels (phonology and morphology) followed inherent English or Germanic regularities, with Scandinavian only fleshing out the existing skeleton. Lexical borrowings, though numerous, were for the Old English period cognitively redundant, parallel to the existing Anglo-Saxon vocabulary. Phonologically, [g], [k] before front vowels and [sk] instead of [ʃ], are considered indication of Scandinavian loans but do not introduce anything new in the phonological system as inherent English phonemes are to be found in similar positions, cf. keen, geese, ask. Scandinavian words fill existing patterns, thus merely increasing the functional load. Morphologically, the reduction and loss of unstressed endings were due to the general Germanic typological transition of the root morpheme from free quantity to syllabic cut and syllabo-morphemic root structure. Language contacts may have only accelerated the process.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the main trends in the transformation of modern systems of public governance
under “New globalization” and the Fourth industrial revolution, which implies the development
of blockchain technologies, the transnationalization and internetization of production
expressed in the formation of cyber-physical production systems, a radical change in the labour
market and the structure of employment in general, the spread of network models of corporate
and public governance, as well as the complexity of socio-political communications. All these
factors both present serious challenges and provide a wide range of opportunities for the renewal
of national public governance systems. The synergetic methodology, which considers systems
of different nature in non-equilibrium states, postulates the possibility of qualitative transitions of
such systems at a cost of significantly less energy and resources than within the classical paradigm
of progressive, linear development. The nature of “New globalization” defines the modern
public governmental systems as non-equilibrium and extremely unstable, hence the possibility of
making qualitative leaps in their development, provided precise application of the limited resources
available to the national states. Such points of application, which can ensure dynamic development
and global competitiveness, are the new education and employment policy, an innovative
development strategy and the structural transformation of the system of public governance. They
are the ones that most contribute to overcoming the key challenges of the new globalization: the
devaluation of labor, the sharp decline in jobs, social disunity and fragmentation, the digital divide
between different territories and social groups.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article analyzes the structure of the collection of the Kstovo Museum of Local Lore and
History, which is located at the exposition “The Heroic Chronicle of Kstovo citizens”, which
tells about the construction of Kstovo and the Novogorkovsky oil refinery in the Gorky region
in the 1950s–1960s. The purpose of the analysis is to evaluate the potential of museum items
in the solution of the task of reconstructing the image of the post-war socialist city and the
daily life of its citizens. Various museum items — photographs, documents, prints, memorial
objects, combined in the exposition — reveal the specific features of the socialist city of the
period: the presence of a large industrial plant, the transition to standard housing and industrial
development, the young population manifesting itself in labor, social and political life,
preferring active forms of leisure. In the course of the research, earlier unpublished photographs
and documents from the museum’s collection are introduced into scientific circulation.
Attention is paid to both museological and cultural aspects of the subject matter. The concept
of a socialist city has been analyzed, and it has also been studied how completely the museum’s
collection is capable of embodying the everyday reality of Soviet Kstov. Using the example of
individual exhibits, authors demonstrated how the information content of each of the considered
types of objects influences the creation of a holistic image of the city in the museum’s
exhibition space. At the same time, the article also shows a broader historical context in order
to highlight the common and specific features of the construction of the city of Kstovo, as
reflected in the exhibits. The article focuses on the ways of representing Soviet everyday life in
the museum space.

The history of international relations of museums of the Yenisei province in the late 19th century
is of particular importance, as it makes it possible to trace the specifics of the formation of
the provincial scientific community through communication and intercultural exchange in this
field. This research paper is aimed at studying the development of international collaboration of
the museums in the Yenisei province. The museums have played an important role in the genesis
and popularization of science in the Yenisei province. International communication today cannot
be overestimated. It will contribute to the development of research collaboration, development
of science, international exchange of information and integration of Russian science and
museums in international research. Archive data and publications of the local and national press
have been analyzed to provide the reliability of the conclusions. The forms of cooperation were
varied: collections exchange, cooperative research and visits. As a result of the investigation it is
stated that the international scientific relations were represented as a complex structure with a
plenitude of directions and forms of development. The article identifies forms of international
cooperation of museums, including visits to museums by foreign scholars, correspondence on
the provision of scientific information, exchange and definition of collections, participation in
exhibitions, etc. The expanding international relations of museums clearly show that at the end
of the 19th century a research culture was formed in the Yenisei province. Today, the functions of
international relations of museums are expressed in the dissemination of world museum experience,
the introduction of unique national cultural values into the world scientific circulation,
the consolidation of peace, the improvement of mutual understanding and cooperation among
nations. The results of this scientific cooperation attract the attention of researchers, and lost
foreign contacts are being revived in the modern activities of museums.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in culture as a key factor in the success of
a company. Such new directions in management as, for example, design-thinking, which are
actually based on anthropological methods, are actively developing; therefore, some authors
directly link the modern approach to management with the use of cultural and anthropological
tools in management. The sociocultural tasks and challenges of museums are becoming
more diverse, since museums are becoming increasingly anthropocentric in all aspects of their
activities, and museum communities are becoming more multicultural. This article is devoted
to the analysis and revision of the term “museum anthropology”. In the work we can see the
contemporary perception of this direction in the professional community and the sources of
the main interpretations of this discipline. Simultaneously, on the basis of modern management
theories and key problem areas of museum studies, the author suggests a new look at
museum anthropology and its tasks, significantly expanding both the term itself and the scope
of anthropological knowledge in the museum. Since museum anthropology somehow affects
today almost all aspects of museum management, the author recommends paying attention
to its use for the training of museum specialists. The article attempts to understand museum
anthropology as the actualization of classical anthropological methods and subjects from the
point of view of their applicability to the management of a museum as a sociocultural institute
and microsocial engineering using museum resources.

value:
This article is dedicated to the activities of Vasily Vasilyevich Dokuchaev, one of the outstanding
domestic scientists of the late 19th century, not only in the field of science, but also in the
field of museum work and popularization of scientific knowledge. His work laid the foundation
of that huge and important branch of our knowledge which is known as genetic soil science.
In the 19th century, the number of museums, including natural science museums, grew
steadily in the Russian Empire, and the museum world was transformed into a special sphere
of cultural life. Museum form began to be used for solving various cultural, scientific and
educational purposes. Thus, the most important aspect of Vasily Vasilyevich’s activity was the
popularization of natural science in the framework of exhibitions and museums. V. B. Bothers
personally developed a series of projects of museums dedicated to soil science. There is an inextricable link between the museum and science, and V. V. Dokuchaev did everything to
ensure that his science would have wide development, thanks to thematic museums and exhibitions.
On the example of museums created by scientists, it can be said with confidence that
Dokuchaev’s popularization of soil science had a beneficial effect on the development of this
science in the following years. Vasily Vasilyevich lived a short life, but thanks to his exceptionally
energetic scientific, pedagogical and social activities, he became the pride of Russian and
world science. The article analyzed the milestones of the biography of V. V. Dokuchaev, as well
as his ascetic activities in creating exhibitions and museums; the article also covers the history
of the emergence of Russian museums of soil science in St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and
Smolensk.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is devoted to the study of 18th century oil painting in the St. Sophia Cathedral in
Kiev. The work of historians and art historians on this subject was analyzed. The author used
restoration reports, photographs and other documents stored in the scientific archive of the
Sofia Kievskaya National Reserve. It is noted that poor preservation of painting, fragmented
plots, and damage to the paint layer complicate the attribution of preserved compositions. In
most cases, the inscriptions that accompanied the composition and were placed on the background, as well as on the opening, were mostly lost. They could be the key to the interpretation
of individual scenes. The article shows the analogies of painting in some Kiev monuments,
namely the Trinity Gate Church of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. It has been suggested that the use
of a variety of materials from Ukrainian and European illustrative prints and paintings of the
18th century will help determine the possible range of sources of iconography. The influence
of European art of the 17th–18th centuries was noted on the development of artistic features
of the Kiev art school. Also, art history analyses indicate its interaction with other art schools
in Europe (Russia, Serbia, etc.). In addition, 18th century painting in Sofia Kievskaya must be
considered in close connection with church literature and other manifestations of cultural life.
The compositions of this time preserved in the lofts of the St. Sophia Cathedral are mainly devoted
to eschatological topics, but there are also allegorical plots, ornaments, and landscapes.
It is noted that some time in the 18th century, an art school operated at the Sofia monastery.
A number of questions relating to oil painting of the 18th century in the St. Sophia Cathedral
still require careful study.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article an attempt is made to tell about the actor-network theory of the French sociologist
B. Latur in application to the history of the creation and existence of ceremonial services
of the second half of the 18th century. For demonstration of separate provisions of the theory
of Latur, the most known porcelain and faience services of the German, French, English and
Russian manufactories from the era of early and strict classicism were chosen. The author
tells about the transition of motives and forms from the Sevres “Service with cameos” and
the “Berlin” service to Russian “Arabeskovy”, “Kabinetsky”, “The Dowry” and other services.
The article mentions the silver services executed by the Parisian masters J.-N. Roettiers,
R.-J. Auguste, etc., for the brothers Orlov, who helped Catherine II to occupy the throne, and
also silver services for deputies of the new provinces founded by the Russian empress. The
history of the creation of services illustrates a continuous chain of administrative reforms,
military conflicts, political and personal events and also changes in artistic taste. By means of
the ceremonial objects on which ware was carried for ceremonial lunches, the European monarchs
not only subtly affected style and fashion in Russia, but also skillfully played politics.
While Catherine II accepted gifts and made large orders for European and domestic production,
she successfully engaged with her closest partners in diplomacy and economy, waged
information war, and made dynastic plans. Many facts specified in the article prove that Bruno
Latur’s concept about the active impact of things on social and political relations is confirmed
in practice. Latur’s approach to studying material monuments, artifacts, and decorative arts is
demanded by the modern science of history of art.

This article reviews the achievements of the Ural academic science during the 2000s. The main
areas of research set forth by the most pressing problems of that period call forth research interest
of Ural political scientists. The author reflects the main stages of development of the national Ural science. In particular, one can see how by the early 2000s, Ural social scientists had formed their
vision on key issues related to their professional self-determination. Based on this, Ural political
scientists later studied a wide range of issues relating to various aspects of political, economic,
social, and philosophical problems. These include the theoretical conceptualization of the practical
participation of Ural political scientists in the changes of the 1990s and early 2000s, the analysis
of the Russian political regime transformations, the changes in the Russian social structure and
their moral and ideological consequences, the understanding of sociocultural, technological, economic,
moral and ideological phenomena arising from the transformation of global capitalism, etc.
The author gives special attention to the development by Ural scientists of topics related not only
to local, but also to all-Russian and global issues. The article also reflects how the approaches of
Ural political scientists have changed over time, in relation to one issue or another. Ural political
science has a distinct interdisciplinary nature. A number of studies were conducted at the junction
of such disciplines as political science, sociology, economics, urban studies, history, philosophy,
psychology, literary criticism. Finally, the author emphasizes that Ural political science has never
shied away from reviewing pressing issues.
