dc.description.abstract

value:
Today, changes are observed in all spheres of human life and society. It is possible to study the
prospects of society in many aspects of its functioning — economic, political, social, cultural,
technological, etc., using a different level of generalization. In addition to the directions of
changes in society, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the subjects involved in
the implementation of changes. The role of children and the importance of attitudes towards
children in shaping the future are reflected in a number of concepts. One such concept, on
the three types of cultures, belongs to M. Mead. In the article the author makes an attempt to
define the contours of modern childhood in the context of prefiguration. With this goal, an
analytical review is conducted of the peculiarities of “Generation Z” and the life of modern
children in the conditions of an updated socio-cultural environment. The research results and
monitoring of modern children’s lives served as an informational foundation for theoretical
reflection. Children’s perceptibility to acquiring and using electronic innovations and technology
as well as their “optional” attribution in everyday life result in the appearance of prefigurative
characteristics in modern society. They are expressed in the transformation of children’s
main activities, ahead of the development of the “digital world’s” technological innovations, an
unimpeded overcoming of spatio-temporal distances in virtual reality and the actualization of
the current moment “here and now”, the expansion of the communication field, the removal
of psychological and language barriers due to the mediation of relations and the creation of
new communication tools, and the structuring of society on new grounds. Society’s interest
in innovation is expressed in the fact that information technologies, like other innovations of
previous eras, provide awareness, algorithmic, accessibility and speed for the flow of social
processes and relations.

This article discusses the life and work of a talented Russian legal scholar and international
lawyer, an authoritative public and political figure of the late 19th — first half of 20nd centuries,
Professor of St. Petersburg University, Baron Mikhail Alexandrovich Taube, 150 years
since his birth which was celebrated in 2019. M. A. Taube occupied a prominent place in the
scientific, educational, social and political life of both pre-revolutionary and foreign emigrant Russia, was prolific in many fields of scientific knowledge and socially significant activity, but
having left Russia after the October revolution of 1917, was forgotten for many years. The article
is based on the domestic, foreign scientific materials, and archival sources, including the
half-forgotten scientific works of M. A. Taube in the field of theory and history of international
law, as well as archival material, mostly new and original, discovered by the authors in the
state archives of St. Petersburg and the Bakhmeteff archive of Columbia University, and the
collections of the Library of Congress, mostly introduced into scientific circulation for the first
time. The article pays tribute to Professor M. A. Taube on his 150th anniversary year, thereby

dc.description.abstract

value: In article the contribution of a number of relevant psychological models for studying alienation from work as an object and a subject of a psychological research for the purpose of the analysis of its phenomenology is considered. A generalization of theoretical and empirical research for approaches to work alienation of alienation from work within social psychology, psychology of the personality, professional psychology, and the provisions allowing specifying understanding of the studied phenomenon are formulated. The article provides a brief overview of the history of studying the problem of work alienation. Based on a review of theoretical and empirical studies of the phenomenon under discussion, relevant models of work alienation of the subject of labor are identified: socio-psychological concepts of alienation from work, the bipolar construct “work alienation — work involvement,” a model of alienation of personality, and a model of professional alienation. Upon the conclusion of the theoretical and psychological analysis of the basic conceptualizations of work alienation, a new understanding of the phenomenon being studied is formulated as an object and subject of psychological research. As an object of psychological research, work alienation is a combination of internal and external components of the psychological response of a person as a subject of labor, expressed in the psychological separation of a person from work and a change in his basic dominant trends in the evaluation and attitude to work activity, the perspective and quality of self-actualization at work. As a subject of psychological research, work alienation is represented in psychological patterns and individual psychological characteristics associated with the destruction of interpersonal communications, the perception by the subject of labor of his own powerlessness and loss of meaning in relation to work, the working environment and social environment, in the loss of identification of himself as an employee of the organization, in the general state of self-alienation in the context of current labor activity, and in violation and mistakes of interaction and communication in the workplace and in society.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Although much has been written on the efforts of the Lancastrian regime to impose its power
in France in the aftermath of the Treaty of Troyes (1420), the role played by English military
forces and administrators in some regions, such as Champagne, remains very obscure. The
article examines the case of the most remote outposts of Lancastrian power in France, the garrisons
of Montigny-le-Roi and Nogent-le-Roi in the region of Bassigny in the east of Champagne
(now in the Département de la Haute-Marne). These garrisons have been portrayed as
troublesome to both friend and foe as well as a means of putting political pressure on the duke
of Burgundy. However, a study of the report on the garrisons’ abuses in the 1423–1426 and related
documents reveals their Anglo-French composition and provides evidence of the efforts
of the Lancastrian government to impose control over the garrisons. The same report along
with financial sources concerning the garrisons’ effectives makes it possible to reconsider the
scale of English participation in the battle of Bulgnéville (1431). Finally, the evidence for the
1430s suggests that after the loss of most important cities of Champagne to the Dauphinists
in 1429 the garrisons in Bassigny remained in close contact with the Burgundians and were
engaged in a number of joint operations up until the Treaty of Arras (1435) and Franco-Burgundian
reconciliation. Thus the article provides a more complex and dynamic picture of the
history of the two garrisons and their role in Anglo-Burgundian relations within changing
political and military contexts.

This article is a review of the work of Michelangelo Conoscenti, professor of the Turin University
(Italy), “ISIS’ Dabiq communicative strategies, NATO and Europe. Who is learning

of the communicative strategies between such actors of international relations as NATO and
ISIS. The review focuses on the nine sections of M. Conoscenti’s work: introduction; review of
the literature; corpus description and names of the entity; the corpus linguistic analysis; a linguistic
interpretation of Dabiq; deception, in Dabiq and in military doctrine; Dabiq as Armageddon?
A Western isotopy for a Western narrative trajectory; the narrative against Europe;
conclusion. The author of the review pays precise attention to the fact that M. Conoscenti,
exploring the content of eleven issues of the journal, uses the techniques of corpus linguistics
and the theory of meme introduced by Dawkins. M. Conoscenti writes that NATO uses narrative
of fear and military discourse to establish its communication with the world. The review
focuses on M. Conoscenti’s evidence in favor of the failure of NATO’s strategic communication
in comparison with the advanced strategies of Dabiq.

value:
The article analyzes the execution of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption and
other international regulatory acts in the Russian Federation. It illustrates both the positive
dynamics in Russian legislation that indicates the implementation of international legal norms
and non-execution or formal execution requirements of the international anti-corruption
standards. International experience in fighting against corruption is analyzed. Special attention
is given to the norms fixed in the Council of Europe Convention on Civil Liability for
Corruption. International legislative experience in fighting against corruption with the help of
civil legal means is also studied. The civil legal confiscation as a measure of responsibility for a
corruption-related offence is explored. The article offers a comparison of the Russian civil law
norms with those contained in international law and civil legislation of other countries. The
authors emphasize that the role of the civil legal means in the prevention of corruption are underestimated
as corruption has an integrated and systemic nature. Therefore, it must be fought
with by systemic measures that are provided for not only in criminal and administrative law,
but also in civil law. The authors prove the non-compliance of the norms related to the civil
law of the Russian Federation with current international experience in fighting corruption.
The article offers recommendations for improving anti-corruption measures. In order to meet
the international standards, Russia needs to shorten the list of public officials who are immune from criminal and administrative prosecution as well as to reduce the range of these immunities;
to introduce a complete ban on public officials accepting gifts; to join and ratify the Council
of Europe Convention on Civil Liability for Corruption; to provide real mechanisms for the
confiscation of public officials’ property that does not correspond to their declared income.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents a review of the concepts and modern methodological and practical directions
used for studying social determinants of health and socially significant diseases on the
example of cardiovascular disease and tuberculosis. The analysis of modern literature devoted
to the problems of disease and mortality allows us to identify groups of determinants that
lead to the development of socially significant diseases, both infectious and non-infectious, in
Europe and Russia. It is known that socio-structural and contextual determinants (economical,
educational and socio-psychological well-being) have the strongest impact on the population’s
health. These determinants are common for health and several socially significant diseases,
including tuberculosis and cardiovascular diseases. European studies of the last years
have been discussing their relationship with global social processes that lead to the transformation
of the social structure of societies and determine the impact of socio-structural and
in-country contextual determinants. The rapid change in the social structure of European
societies was caused by the migration crisis that began in 2015. Mass migration to Western
Europe from low-income countries of North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, and to
Russia — from the CIS countries and Ukraine, has led to an increase in the incidence of socially
significant diseases, problems of the health care system in the recipient countries, and
the availability of health care for the indigenous population. Thus, migration becomes a significant
determinant and is included in modern studies of public health problems along with
such characteristics of the social context as economic indicators of the country's functioning,
income inequalities, financing of the health system, access to health care, the level of literacy,
and socio-psychological well-being.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Films are viewed as an instrument of historical policy and a means of interpreting and distributing
certain views about various episodes in national history. The study sample consisted
of the eight highest box-office non-military Russian films about Soviet society, which were
released between 2008 and 2017. Based on the method of organizing the plot and the themes
raised, the films were divided into two groups: “films about achievements” and “films about
personal life.” The key methods were the following: 1. content analysis of screen time allocated
to certain scenes and characters, to discussions of various topics; 2. discourse analysis of the
speech of film characters. On the basis of analysis, three types of characters were described:
“hero” (main positive character), “opponent” (main antagonist) and “helper.” The results of
the analysis depict the main tendencies in the interpretations of the events of the Soviet era
by contemporary Russian cinema. One of the key themes in all the films is the confrontation
between a person and the state, manifested through the conflict of a “hero” and an “opponent”
(a representative of the government department). Characters who uphold personal values, act
independently and are not afraid to take risks, are marked positively. Moreover, behaviour of
those characters is not always consistent with the interests of the state. At the same time, characters
who support the values accepted in Soviet society and act strictly in accordance with
the orders of the authorities are marked negatively. The films contrast the positive ideas about
the Soviet people, the negative ideas about the state system. In this manner, the problem of the
ambivalence of modern interpretations of Soviet history is being solved.

dc.description.abstract

value: The concept of the “Transforming personality in times of change (Mobilis in Mobili)” and Alexandr Asmolov’s introduction to the project of collective monography with the same title “Mobilis in Mobili: Personality in Times of Changes” represent a new vision of personality psychology including its new methodology and model in new discourse. Do we really mean that “In the middle of the bridge one need not think where to proceed”? This article is not a thing of itself, but an element of a protracted dialogue and is a double response. This essay reflects on methodological issues which originated from a peer review article designed in this new paradigm. But the real reason was the startling impression from Asmolov’s approach to the “uncertainty, complexity and diversity of a strikingly evolving world.” This approach transcends the realistic view of those qualities as the objective properties of modernity and introduces them as the challenges to designing researchers’ basic instrument of cognition — their minds — to make them prepared for the rapidly emerging future. The scope of my methodological contemplations includes reasoning about “trans-floorism” as a characteristic of the elevator and why it doesn’t help us to understand the process of its movement; why cutting notches in a tree is not the best method to measure Adam’s growth and where the Alice lost the meaning of her conversation with the Duсhess.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Following J. Clark, many scholars now use the term “ancien regime” (“old order”) in relation
to England of “the long 18th century” (1689–1832). The article deals with the question of
the forms and methods of the apology of the ancien regime in England by the clergy of the
Established Church, which was one of its most important pillars. Focusing on the four final
decades of the “long 18th century”, the authors come to the conclusion that the defense of the
unequal order of society as God-given, preaching obedience and submission to state power
were considered by the Church of England as one of its most important functions. At the end
of the 18th century such position was quite consistent with the prevailing public sentiment
determined by the fear of the possibility of repetition of the events of the French Revolution in
England. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Anglican apology of the old order already
received less support. During the struggle for the Parliamentary reform (1830–1832), the
position of the Anglican Church caused an unprecedented wave of anticlericalism. At the
same time, the number of supporters of the reforms among clergy, as well as among those who
tried to revive the Church of England as a sacral institution (Oxford movement), increased
significantly. In Victorian era, with the fading of the ancien regime, the clergy gradually ceased
to consider the function of its protection a priority, and concentrated on the implementation
of internal church reforms.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article discusses the structure of roles in young married couples and the problem of role distribution between spouses. Currently, the majority of young spouses have disparity in their ideas about the role structure of the family, as a result of which there are disturbances in the relations between them and difficulties in the process of their adaptation to family life. One of the reasons for such difficulties may be indefinite or concrete boundaries for a young family, living conditions of spouses and the absence or presence of some experience of living together with a spouse. The article presents the empirical research results on the role structure of young couples (the results are part of a larger study). The sample consisted of young spouses in the amount of 400 people, 200 young couples, who do not yet have children. The age of the spouses was 20–30 years old (the average age of the spouses is 26,4). Couples had lives together up to five years. Research methods used included a questionnaire, testing, and the method of statistical data processing by t-Student criterion. As a method of research, a socio-demographic questionnaire and the questionnaire «Distribution of roles in the family» (Yu. Ye. Aleshina, L. Ya. Gozman, Ye. M. Dubovskaya) were employed. It was hypothesized that the ideas of men about the role structure in young married couples differ from the ideas of women, regardless of their living conditions (jointly or separately with their parents). Statistically significant differences were found in the implementation of the following family roles by spouses: raising children, in stabilizing the emotional climate in the family, and in organizing and maintaining the daily life. The data on the distribution of family roles in young families living together and separately with their parents are presented. It was concluded that the living conditions of a young couple have an insignificant effect on the family’s role structure, which is characterized by the presence of some features of egalitarianism.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the problem of a competency-based approach in the system of civil service
in in the Russian Federation. It was established that the professionalism of public servants is
defined as a competence, which means the ability to effectively fulfill their duties relying on
their competencies and in the conditions of active interaction within the system and with
citizens. Furthermore, not only functional competencies become essential such as knowledge,
and skills in the field of administration, but also management and communication skills become
significant. It has been determined that the requirements established in the Directory
of Qualification Requirements for public service were primarily functional in nature and do
not take into account the institutional component of public administration. Also, the Federal
Educational Standards does not form a complete list of requirements established in the Directory.
Thus, the competencies defined in regulatory documents do not meet the requirements
put forward by the society for public service as the main subject of public administration. This discrepancy leads to the emergence of some social risks. Firstly, the role model, formed in the
Directory, meets the expectations of society for the humanization of public administration,
but reduces the social status of public servants to the level of technical administrative personnel.
This leads to demotivation of officials, a decrease in the quality of public administration,
and an increase in dysfunctions, such as red tape and formalization. Secondly, the competency
model formed in the course of education does not meet the professional requirements that
apply to lower-level public servants. Unfortunately, institutional competencies are not taken
into account during HR methods, and therefore employees are not motivated to develop them
in full. The resulting frustration leads to increased tension within the public service system,
which is subsequently transmitted into society, and facilitates the decrease in confidence in the
state. Further improvement of the competency-based approach in the public administration
system is associated with both the revision of regulatory documents and the revision of the
principles of organizing employee training.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The authors of the article focus on the problem of legal assessments and legal consequences
of (not) understanding of legal documents (both normative and individual acts). Many legal
norms recognize this circumstance as relevant for law, requiring the intelligibility of legal documents,
though the application of its legal significance and consequences are not clear. In the
researched Russian judicial practice more and more often citizens cite instances where, that
in spite of provided access to а legal document, they could not follow the meaning because
they could not understand them. A reason for this situation is the complicated language of
legal texts, The authors conduct an analysis of Russian judicial decisions to conclude that the
Russian courts usually do not acknowledge for legal purposes the fact of not understanding
legal documents. This could lead to the conclusion that intelligibility of a legal document is a
legal fiction recognized regardless of the facts. Nevertheless, some rare judicial judgments in
Russian legal practice demonstrate that a lack of comprehension of the legal documents was
acknowledged by the court. Based on this, the authors finally conclude that an understanding
of legal documents can be treated as a presumption rather than fiction, but leave open the
question of how this presumption can be rebutted.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on recent developments of the principle of transparency in Italian jurisdiction
law, in relation to the needs that arise in European Law. In this regard, the provisions of
the Italian reforms in recent years are examined. Even if with some difficulties, they are aimed
at defining, developing, and providing substance to the principle of transparency. Transparency
is increasingly essential in the activity of public administration for its fundamental role in
the protection of individuals, and as an instrument to fight corruption, also enhancing forms
of cooperation between citizens and public administration. Accordingly, the critical points of
the legislation are considered, in particular the absence of agreement between the new right of
access, so-called in Italian “diritto di accesso civico generalizzato” (introduced in 2016), and
the pre-existing types of right of access to documents of the public administration. There are
three types of right of access in the Italian legislation: the first provided in 1990, the second in
2013 and the third in 2016. Each of these are unique in terms of their conditions and features.
The situation has resulted in an overlap of norms and difficulties in the legal regulation of various
types of jurisdiction. The paper analyzes the European provisions, also considering the debate
on the possibility of a codification of a European administrative proceeding. In this way,
one can see the symmetries and the needs in the different legal systems, in search of a balance
between the methods of making administrative decisions and the protection of citizens’ rights.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article presents the results of a study on the relationship between understanding humor and theory of mind — a system of mental representations concerning mental phenomena (knowledge, emotions, intentions, etc.) that develops throughout life and is especially intense in childhood. The basis of the work is the assumption that theory of mind is a mental foundation that allows you to separate your own and other people's mental experience, and explain the cognitive mechanisms of humor. The participants were 40 children of two age groups (4 and 6 years old). Data was obtained on various aspects of understanding the mental world and intellectual development. Methodological tasks were also developed to evaluate the emotional and cognitive components of humor. For this purpose children's jokes were used containing an interaction of heores. The results illustrated age dynamics in the development of theory of mind and an understanding of humor (more pronounced in the case of the emotional component). Jokes were fairly difficult for children 4–6 years old according to the results, which indicated that the level of emotional understanding was below cognitive. Correlation analysis showed a connection between the general indicator of understanding of mental states and humor, while a closer relationship was found with the cognitive component of understanding. In general, the results support the idea of cognitive mechanisms of perception of humor described in Russian literature and expand the empirical database collected by foreign researchers.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Industrialization of state power is described as a global trend marked by “documentalization” and
“governmentalization”. Russia’s political transit is discussed as a process of implementing industrial
technologies into the state system’s activity. In accordance with L. Mumford’s ideas, the
political system is described in terms of industrial “megamachine” which generates flows of disciplinary
orders. They cover all fields of activity of state power and interactions between the state
and the civil society. An analysis Russia state power’s practices of industrialization provides for
critical rethinking of popular conceptual approaches and identifying the field of public policy as a
space where three social technologies of political interactions between the state and the citizens
are implemented. In the light of this approach Russia’s democracy transit is viewed as the consecutive
implementation into the public policy, first, of technology of representative democracy
(in the 1990s), then of technology of deliberation democracy (since 2012), and of technology of
participatory democracy (since 2018). It allows to highlight various aspects of these implementation
processes, including some risks with objectionable contradictions between these different
technologies, and it was important to emphasize the efforts towards harmonization. Putting cyber-informational technologies into practice in the state administrative policy leads towards industrialization
of velocity, capacity and structure for gathering data. The gap between elementary
labour operations of ordinary officials and regimes of optimal use of cyber-informational systems
of the state bureaucracy is also noted. In conclusion, the author focuses on the area of state and
municipal services, where the trend of industrialization of documents elaboration is in progress.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents an analysis of the study of the phenomena of elite, political leadership, and
political experts in the creative heritage of Fyodor Burlatsky (1927–2014). The subject of the study
is Burlatsky’s approach to the elite and political leadership, as well as the role of experts in state
and political decision-making. Modern domestic research of the phenomena of the elite and political
leadership is based not only on studies of foreign political scientists, but also on the legacy
of Soviet scientists. Appeal to the ideological and political heritage of Burlatsky allows us to show
the results achieved in these areas. One of the first domestic researches of elites and political
leadership was carried out in the early 1970s at the Institute for Specific Social Studies of the
USSR Academy of Sciences. Using the developments of Western political science and synthesizing
them with the achievements of Soviet scientists, a group of researchers analyzed the dynamics
of the evolution of different groups of the elites in Western Europe and the United States.
The results of this study were published in the book written by Fyodor Burlatsky in collaboration
with Alexander Galkin “Sociology. Policy. International relations” and were further developed in the
generalizing work “The modern Leviathan: Essays on the political sociology of capitalism”. The
study and analysis of the phenomena of the elite and leadership awakened Burlatsky’s research
interest to the theoretical description of the phenomenon of political experts. In the 1950s–1960s
Burlatsky worked as a political expert of Nikita Khrushchev and headed a team of consultants for
Yuri Andropov. Burlatsky was the first in the Soviet science to raise the issue of the political role of
experts and their impact on state and political decision-making. After conducting a historical-political
and political-textual analysis of Burlatsky’s publications, the author concludes that Burlatsky
developed an original approach to the phenomena of elite and political leadership which goes
against the dominant interpretations of political science that bring value and moral issues beyond
the scope of political analysis. In addition, Burlatsky formulated the original typological model of
political experts based on his personal experience as an adviser and classified them to the appropriate
types: a) “adviser-thinker”, b) “adviser-prophet”, and c) “adviser-intriguer”.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this contribution, we present a representative corpus of similia similibus formulae attested
in ancient Greek and Latin curse tablets or defixiones. The simile formulae, attested in about
80 tablets in widely differing states of preservation and legibility, are introduced in the context
of sympathetic magic and, in contradistinction to literary similes, as performative utterances
that are based on a persuasive analogy. This analogy operates in the general form of “just as
X possesses property P, so let also Y possess property P”, in which Y is the target or victim of
the curse, while X and P are variables that change in accordance with the intended results. We
provide a provisional taxonomy of simile formulae, offer new readings and interpretations of
some defixiones, and compare Greek and Latin documents. Due to its length, the paper has
been divided into two parts. In the first part, presented in the previous issue of Philologia Classica
(Vol. 14, Fasc. 1, Pp. 27–55), we introduced curse tablets, briefly discussed the principles
of sympathetic magic, and focused on comparata that reference the materiality of the tablet
and comparata referencing corpses or ghosts of the dead. The remaining comparata, namely
animals, historiolae and rituals, aversus formulae and unusual orientations of the script,
“names”, and drawings, are presented in here together with general conclusions.

The article is devoted to contemporary problems of corporate education in Russian companies.
It consistently solves three issues: analysis of quantitative and qualitative dynamics
of corporate education system formation based on secondary information data, investigation
of factors that influenced the process of corporate education system formation, critical
analysis of the results of the ongoing changes from the standpoint of psychological science.
A significant development and transformation of the corporate education system in Russian
companies has been noted over the past three years. However, changes do not always produce
the expected results. Analyzing the “resource — result” link from the position of the double
loop learning concept suggested by C. Argyris, the authors come to the conclusion that there
exist problems of organizational and methodological nature that affect the performance of
corporate education. The causes of these problems are related to the psychological mechanisms
underlying the adult learning process. Psychological and pedagogical approaches to overcoming
these problems are proposed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Competitive strategies of platforms often involve contractual arrangements that might be considered
as anticompetitive. Since recent decisions of European Commission after investigations
against Google in 2017 and 2018, and Bundeskartellamt against Facebook in 2019, the standards
of liability for abuses applied by competition authorities will influence business models of digital
platforms. This paper summarizes theories of harm applied by BRICS competition authorities
applied towards multi-sided platforms under investigations. One may expect that BRICS approach
to be harsher compared to mature competition jurisdictions. However, a comparison
shows that discrimination and tying with exclusionary effects have been the focus of investigations
and decisions in BRICS. Remedies in the infringement decisions are intended to protect
rivalry through “no restriction of multihoming” conditions. There is no evidence that BRICS
authorities apply a specific economic theory of multi-sided platforms. At the same time, BRICS
competition enforcement could be applied as one of the legal instruments when one platform
tries to crowd out another from global markets.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with a massive protest movement which swept major Iranian cities starting from
the end of 2017. The fast growth of prices, the devaluation of the national currency, and environmental
issues triggered a serious civil unrest which united different social groups and professional
guilds in their dissatisfaction with the current socio-economic situation in the country. The most
important thing which makes this protest different even from the events of 1388/2009 is the active
participation of the so called bazari, or traditional middle class of merchants and small shop
owners, who for decades presented a ground base for the Islamic regime. As long as the protest
continues, it can have extremely negative consequences for the Islamic Republic, especially under
the conditions of growing external pressure. The re-imposition of the former unilateral sanctions
by the US and the implementation of new restrictions have already had a significant impact
on daily life of common Iranians. Despite the difficult conditions caused by the sanctions, which
the Iranian government calls a “psychological war” (Jang-i ravani) against the country, and the
unstable situation in the Sunni regions of the west, north-west and south-east, the Islamic Regime
(Nizam-i Islami) is still able to remain in control of the state. What realities of Modern Iran make its
population “tired”? What was the reaction of the Iranian Government and Leader of the Revolution
and how is the Iranian establishment going to overcome the crisis? Does the Iranian regime take
necessary steps to decrease social inequality? What forces stand behind these protests in the
country and abroad? These are the main questions to be answered in order to understand possible
future developments and their results for the Islamic Republic and regional stability.

value:
The article focuses on is the letters written by the famous Soviet historiographer, theorist of
historical science, historian-medievalist O. Wainshtein (1894–1980) to a Soviet historian, specialist
in social, economic history of the 16th–19th centuries S. Borovoi (1903–1989). The letters
published in the article cover the period between 1944–1976, which was characterized
by the scholar’s activities, authority, leading positions in the academic corporation, the emergence
of their major works. These messages reflect the close environment of the historian and
the conditions of everyday life of the Soviet intellectual community. The presented materials
follow the main milestones of Wainshtein’s professional activity; circumstances of his promotion;
the conditions of his “exile” during the Soviet political campaign “against cosmopolitanism”;
news and comments about colleagues. The letters enable to recreate essential details of
the development of Soviet historical science, the university system of education, fragments of
biographies of a number of scholars. The published material reproduces the debatable issues
of historians about certain problems in the Soviet historiography, research in the field of medieval
studies, critical remarks, O. Wainstein’s disagreement with colleagues, in particular, with
S. Lurie, V. Mavrodin, B. Porshnev, E. Tarle, A. Chistovzonov and others. O. Wainstein’s letters
shed light on the context of the preparation and publication of his monographs “Russia and
the Thirty Years’ War of 1618–1648” (1947), “Western European Medieval Historiography”
(1964), “The History of Soviet Medieval Studies: 1917–1966” (1968), and other works. The
publication of letters is accompanied by fairly extensive commentary on their content, and

The paper examines the translation and publication in the Russian language of the contemporary
Chinese prose in 2009–2018. On the basis of full database of translations from the last
decade the author analyzes the influence of traditional and new factors in the literary interaction
of Russia and China, highlights its latest trends. The paper proves that increase of China’s global
importance, raise of interest to China in Russia, intensification of China’s efforts to support the
promotion of its culture abroad as well as qualitative changes of Chinese literature itself have
resulted in a powerful quantitative breakthrough in translations (90 books in 2009–2018 versus
20 books in 1992–2008), acquaintance of Russian audience with the major texts of the most
important contemporary writers, e. g. Bi Feiyu, Cao Wenxuan, Liu Zhenyun, Liu Cixin, Mo Yan,
Yu Hua, etc., increase in the number of translated novels against short stories, transfer of focus
from the literature of the 1980s to the literature of the 21st century, decrease of the lag of the
contemporary literature behind the publication of the Chinese classics, increase in the number
of translators. The translation of the Chinese literature ceased the connection with the limited
range of the scholars; it didn’t always result in some academic research, which led to the deacademization
and commercialization of literary translation. However, the volume of translation is
quite unstable and the circulations are rather low (2156 copies in average). Up to now, low awareness
of the audience about Chinese culture and history, insufficient availability of information on
new translations, domination of the Western literature on the book market, rare involvement of
the major publishers prevent the wide recognition of the latest Chinese prose in Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the pragmatic potential of the Irish emigrant ballads from the perspective
of cultural linguistics. From the viewpoint of pragmatics, a ballad as an act of indirect
communication can not only describe national traits, but also can serve as a mechanism to
form national self-consciousness. The analysis of subject organization and spatial, temporal
and axiological specificity of Irish emigrant ballads reveals the principles postulating the idea
of national unity existing in Irish culture. Its appeal to the audience, high figurativeness and
intensive usage of cultural notions allow us to consider the issue of national identity beyond
the content of the text and also from the communicative perspective. The ballad performance
correlates with a performative speech act where the performer verbalizes a number of the
process parameters of actions accomplished by the character. This aspect is associated with
the behavioural models reflecting the processes of assimilation followed by adoption of a new
cultural paradigm. Therefore, the ballads of assimilative, integrative and unification orientation
are distinguished. The assimilative function reflects an ability of an emigrant to become
part of a new environment; the integrative function is associated with an ability to preserve the
national identity in a new culture; the unification function shows correlation of the individual
value categories with the native cultural values, but unlike the integrative ballads and unifying
ballads it cannot potentially form a diaspora.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Since the beginning of the period of reforms and openness, which began in the 1980s, intensified
the process of the natural evolution of oral and written Chinese language. Active international
contacts inevitably led to changes in the Chinese language itself, it started to appear
neologisms and foreign borrowings. One of these linguistic phenomena are the lettered words,
which history in China has been recited for more than 100 years. Their number is constantly
growing, analyzing the “Dictionary of Modern Chinese Language” (现代汉语词典), it is possible
to admit the following dynamics: 1996 — 39 words, 2002 — 142 words, 2005 — 182 words,
2012 — 239 words and so on. Investigating the historiography of the issue, the authors of the
article concluded that mainly Chinese researchers, for example, Liu Yongquan, Shen Mengyin,
Li Xiaohua, Yu Fulin, Dong Min, Zou Yuhua, Zhang Yichun and others, were engaged in the
research of the lettered words. This topic became popular in China at the beginning 2000s.
Existing studies of Western and Russian scientists are mostly descriptive in nature and do not
analyze the causes of the appearance and formation of lettered words. This article is devoted
to the evolution of the definition of lettered words, the reasons for appearance and analysis
of the characteristics of their use by native speakers in oral and written communication. The
authors conducted a survey in Chinese in electronic form for native Chinese speakers living
both in the territory of the PRC and abroad, dedicated to lettered words and their use. The
survey results showed an interesting fact: 30,4 % of respondents deny the use of lettered words
in oral speech, but when choosing between a lettered word and the Chinese equivalent, the
number of those who chose the Chinese equivalent was less than 30 %. The survey data helped
to find out the main motives for the use of alphabetic words by modern Chinese speakers: saving
time, desire to give their speech a more professional tone, foreign language practice, the
lack of a suitable equivalent in Chinese, a desire to follow fashion trends, the use of alphabetic
words as euphemisms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the problem of ensuring security of North and Central African countries
in the age of informational globalization. Today there is a new up-and-coming social and
economic order based on telecommunications. The central place in this new system of public
relations belongs to information and communication technologies. One can observe the situation
when the creation of the knowledge-based economy is turning into the main strategic
priority of the policy of every country, which considers ICT as an effective tool, which can
ensure a sustainable social and economic growth. But at the same time, it is necessary to keep
in mind that information technologies, when used effectively, are able to destroy existing orders,
to overthrow political regimes that used to be rather stable and influential. Based on case
studies of North African countries, authors show key instruments that have been used in those
countries in order to manage public opinion. Among those instruments authors highlight:
1) aiming for bad expectations which entails the notion of an impending disaster and mass
depression; 2) substitution of definitions which supposes that in order to create positive images
of the opposition that resist the governmental forces, Western mass media calls militants
and terrorists “rebels”; 3) implementation of mass dissatisfaction which means the situation
when popular bloggers or representatives of opposition movements begin to promote the dissatisfaction
of legal power; 4) use of biased materials. In this way, authors conclude that the
effective resistance in the information warfare strictly depends on the presence of a national
idea on the one hand and on the level of the informational culture of the society on the other.
The last point seems to be the key element that can guarantee the survival of the State, especially
if it pretends to pursue self-reliant political line based on its national interests and
cultural values.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposit class includes a number of loosely related deposits
with a pool of common characteristics. The Kis-Kuel intrusion-related IOCG deposit in Eastern
Yakutia (Russia) with a wide range of mineral styles has a direct genetic link with a cooling intrusion
during its formation. The IOCG and the Kis-Kuel have common features for this style—an
abundance of iron oxides and a low presence of sulfides. Magmatic contribution to the Kis-Kuel
deposit is significant. Intrusive rocks range from diorite to granodiorite in composition. The
rare-earth geochemical system of igneous rocks of the Kis-Kuel intrusion is characterized by
behavior close to the CHArge-and-RAdius-Controlled CHARAC-system (26 < Zr/Hf < 46 and
24 < Y/Ho < 34) in which the Н/Ho — Zr/Hf ratios of the pair show a distribution close to chondrite
(Zr/Hf — 36.6 and Y/Ho — 27.7). Minor deviations of the Kis-Kuel rocks from CHARAC
intervals indicate an unevolved magmatic system. Mineralization was discovered at the top of
the small Kis-Kuel pluton and includes several types of ore. Iron oxide copper-gold and Cu-Auporphyry
ore are present as breccia in hornfels aureole of intrusive rocks with FeOX — 13.58-
63.24 %; Cu — 0-3.57 %; Au — 12.93-64.48 g/t; Ag — 2.7-830 g/t. Associated with IOCG, quartzhematite-
galena veins contain: Ag — 22.4-3680 g/t; Cu — 0.014-0.534 %; Pb — 0.1-81.63 %.
Arrays of sheeted auriferous quartz veins with arsenopyrite, native gold and bismuth and Ag-Bi
sulphosalts contain: Au — 0.15-4.6 g/t; Ag — 20.6-196 g/t; Cu — 0.048-0.24 %; Pb — 0.3-3.73 %.
This paper is devoted to a Kis-Kuel diorite-granodiorite–related deposit in Eastern Yakutia (Russia).
It is regarded as an intrusion-related gold deposit (IRGD) with a main IOCG and minor
Cu-Au-porphyry component of mineralization.

dc.description.abstract

value:
We studied diatom assemblages of the proglacial arctic lake Bolshoy Kharbey
(Bolshezemelskaya tundra, Russian Arctic) from a short sediments core covering
last ca. 200 years. In total, 121 taxa from 2 classes, 5 orders, 18 families,
and 50 genera were identified. The diatom flora included species with mainly
cosmopolitan distribution. The assemblages were dominated by alkaliphilic
benthic diatoms preferring standing — flowing waters, indifferent to salinity
and moderate temperature conditions. The main changes in diatom assemblages
took place at ca. 1870 and 1980. After 1870, which can be attributed to
the end of the Little Ice Age, the species richness rose, especially of planktonic
centric and small penate diatoms. This rise of diatom diversity took place most
probably in response to climate warming, related to prolongation of the growing
season and period of open water. A negative trend in the evenness of the
diatom assemblages during the last decades can be seen as an early-warning
signal indicating a decrease of stability of the lake ecosystem.

The article “Lāmiyya by al-Shanfarā and its commentaries: Copies available in the holdings of
the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts and the Oriental Department collection, Gorky Research
Library” reviews the problem of studying and describing oriental manuscripts, which gains
more relevance in recent times. This research presents life facts of the famous pre-Islamic poet
al-Shanfarā and the features of his most famous work, Lāmiyya. The study focus on the copies
of this work, as well as copies of its commentaries stored in the holdings of the Institute of Oriental
Manuscripts and the Oriental Department collection, Gorky Research Library, SPbSU. The
poetry of al-Shanfarā is traditionally compared with classical muallaq, where the authors praise
tribal patriotism against the main idea — a life in exile. Lāmiyya got its name for the special
repetitive rhyme. Among European researchers, this qaṣīda is also known as “The Desert Song”.
The authors analyze the features of various copies of al-Shanfarā’s work and discuss the most important
aspects of various commentaries on his work. The article provides illustrations of some
sheets of al-Shanfarā’s copies and copies of Lāmiyya commentaries. The writing by al-Shanfarā
was subjected to extensive research by national, Western and Arab experts. Through analyzing
the most well-known commentaries on Lāmiyyat al-arab, it is possible to evaluate exactly what
features call the attention of scholars. In addition, copies of Lāmiyya commentaries stored in
manuscript collections deserve an independent careful study and description.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the evolution of the concept of liberty in the political philosophy of Thomas
Hobbes (1588–1679). The article shows the relation between the historical and ideological
contexts of the appearance of the doctrine of the «Leviathan”. In particular, author connects the
events of the English civil war, the ideological context of that time with the philosophy of Hobbes.
A special emphasis is put on the evolution of argumentation of parliament proponents under the
influence of Aristotelian philosophy perception, which created the ideological basis for the naturalistic
and secular view on political life of the modernity, which came into being as a result of
reconciliation of Aristotelian view on self-sufficient civil life with Augustinian concern about otherworldly
life. Thee author considers Hobbes’s philosophy through the lens of the methodology
of Cambridge school of intellectual history, which discovered ideological disputes and argumentation
of Hobbes’s contemporaries. Philosophy of freedom in this context becomes the sticking
point between Hobbes’s understanding of liberty as absence of external obstacles for motion and
his ideological adversaries, who were influenced by the neo-roman concept of liberty. The author
shows how the context was reflected in Hobbes’s doctrine of liberty, which was a response to
the republican ideas of the Italian Renaissance, which brought a new theory of neo-roman liberty
into the England of the XVII century, the central thesis of which was based on the idea that liberty
within civil society is undermined by the simple presence of arbitrary will. The ideological dispute
of Hobbes and his opponents formed basic elements of contemporary liberal vision of politics,
the core of which directly relies on the doctrine of liberty which was initially formulated by Hobbes.

value:
The article analyzes one exemplary edition of “Wiadomości” — a news service of Polish public
television. The program is framed as a medium implementing the information policy of their
administrator, i.e. the policy of power. The focus was placed on evaluation as the most expressive
linguistic mechanism of strategic communication. The analysis of evaluation, defined as
a mechanism of audience acquisition, allowed the author to identify the values referred to by
the government of the Republic of Poland in the process of creating the narratives ultimately
shaping its image. The values of ‘success’ and ‘patriotism’ have become the basis for popularizing
the narrative of the government as the entity with patriotic motivations, which prove successful.
The mechanism of audience acquisition is implemented into two planes of text functioning which are the content plane and the expression plane. In the case of selected object of
study, speaking about the content plane, it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of topics
covered in the analyzed information program, their characteristics and the reasons for which
these topics were raised. At the same time, speaking of the expression plane, it is necessary
to discuss the use of techniques that contribute to the acceptance of a certain narrative about
Poland (namely the Polish government) and the use of different ways of evaluating the reality
that is the subject of the speech. In addition, the author of this article draws attention to the relationship
between the concepts of strategic communication, public relations and propaganda.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the focus of the article is a criminal case which was instituted by OGPU (Obyedinennoe Gosudarstvennoe
Politicheskoe Upravlenie) against the ministers of Islamic religion in Leningrad in 1932. One of the
accused was the last mufti of the Russian empire, Mohammed-Safa Bayazitov (1877–1937). Besides Bayazitov
and the members of the so-called “dvadtsatka” (the congregational council of the mosque), the investigating
authorities also arrested underground mullahs who had unofficially conducted religious rites among the Muslims
of Leningrad. The latter activity caused serious apprehensions among OGPU by virtue of the very fact of its existence,
since it was practically beyond the control of the authorities. The criminal case of 1932 is interesting not
least because it puts into circulation new data concerning the biography of M.-S. Bayazitov (in particular, details
about his work as imam-khatib of the Leningrad Cathedral Mosque in 1931–1932). Despite the image of a secret
officer of the imperial security service (ohranka) that Bayazitov had in Soviet times, he continued to enjoy authority
among a certain part of believers in Leningrad. The case materials are also a valuable source of information
about the daily life of the Muslims of Leningrad in the second half of the 1920s — early 1930s. In particular, as
can be seen from the testimony of the accused and the witnesses who were involved in the case, the principle of
fellowship in the period under review continued to be of great importance to Tatars in Leningrad.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the reaction of the city community to the demolition of an unfinished TV
tower in Yekaterinburg. In the course of collective storytelling about the tower, an extensive
archive of verbal narratives was formed. This archive has become the object of analysis focused
on the interrelated problems manifested in the competition of narratives about the fate of the
tower. These problems represent a harmonization of urban communications and the adequacy
of technocratic rationality in understanding the values of urban development. The paradox of
the Yekaterinburg case is that a sharp controversy involving the authorities, business and city
communities broke out around the ruins — a “useless” object from the point of view of technocratic
rationality. The analysis of competing narratives of the tower in the article is based
on the concept of urban narratives as a constructive element of the urban environment. The
article attempts to highlight the main master narratives that formed the basis of controversy
around the tower. While the authorities appealed to the urban community from the standpoint
of the modernist narrative of a “bright future,” the citizens opposed this technocratic
rational narrative with an array of personal stories. These stories are united by a master narrative,
which could be tentatively defined as poetic. An important role in substantiating the
value of the tower was played by the master narrative of the greatness and mysteries of the
mythologized Soviet past. The history of the tower has clearly demonstrated the clash of rational
and symbolic order in the development of the modern city and illustrated the value and
persistence of the symbolic. The city community rallied to defend the “useless” object in spite
of the authority’s rational arguments since the tower had become a significant symbolic locus
of the city, the generator of city stories.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to theoretical and practical aspects of the discussion regarding social networks
as promising tools of electorate’s mobilization under the conditions of government’s ownership
of traditional media. The author identifies three types of electorate’s mobilization (support,
resistance, and indifference), the possible use of which in any social network can be observed
and measured with the help of such online figures as the number of likes, comments, reposts,
and subscribers. Other key advantages of Internet platforms over traditional campaigning means
used during the campaign period are also analyzed in the article, such as the efficiency of communication,
the availability of quick response and transformation of information flow, the audience’s
involvement, etc. The author points out that such extensive capabilities of social networks
combined with their accessibility and a wide reach throughout the world have not only changed
the political situation by making networks an important tool in the arsenal of political strategists
but also created a brand new type of political parties that consider Internet resources the main
tool of electorate’s mobilization. These parties are known as cyberparties and have gained widespread
popularity thanks to populist appeals and tabling the most critical and pressing issues
troubling their voters. Thanks to that, the phenomenon of populism today has transformed into web-populism and gained widespread recognition around the world. Through the analysis of populist
parties of contemporary Europe the author demonstrates how social networks have assisted
the advancement of small parties and at short notice helped them to acquire support needed for
representation in the legislature at different levels despite competition with big political players.

The ability of the modern state to be competitive on the international level depends on its capacity
to be flexible and proactive in dramatically changing world. South Africa, which is no doubt an
important player on the African continent and its representative in the BRICS, with its incredible
natural and human resources but at the same time with enormous poverty and political-administrative
obstacles faces socio-economic and political challenges every day, while making an effort
to get a sensitive governability and economic competitiveness to develop and to play a significant
role on the international arena. On the other hand, the colonial and apartheid past created a huge
number of obstacles on the way of modernization of the politico-administrative regime and the
creation of national competitive advantages in South Africa. That is why since 1994 new political
elite have tried to solve the main problems with the help of new development institutions in the
sphere of public policy, political administration and economics — such as the National Planning
Commission or Public Service Commission created in 1996. Moreover, the government of South
Africa has realised that it is vital to support the development of information and communication
technologies (ICT) and innovations to be competitive and flexible in the modern world. Thus, the
aim of this article is to show the role of development institutions in the process of smooth changes
in the political and administrative regime of South Africa in the name of economic and social improvements.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the peculiarities of Soviet people’s understanding of a multi-party system in 1989.
The article analyzes some previously unpublished letters of Russian citizens, kept in the Yeltsin Fund of the State
Archive of the Russian Federation. These letters are addressed to Boris Yeltsin, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Soviet
newspapers. In 1989, popular attitudes were shaped by political activities, such as preparations for the election
of the First Congress of People’s Deputies of the Soviet Union, the election itself, and the First Congress of People’s
Deputies of the Soviet Union itself. Soviet people only vaguely understood the functions of political parties
and had no clear idea of such notions as multi-party systems, political freedom, etc. The analysis of these letters
shows that Soviet citizens were dissatisfied with the Communist Party and how it ruled the country. However, due
to Soviet agitation, people believed in creating a socialist society and hoped to create an alternative Socialist Party.
The authors of these letters insisted that the new party should see to it that the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union focused on political issues and did not interfere with other spheres of people’s lives. They also demanded
that the number of party officials should be considerably reduced. Some citizens were against any party, associating
them with inevitable dictatorship. The article maintains that Russian civil society could be built only if Russian
people had correct ideas of what a multi-party system is and what role political parties play in society.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is dedicated to the problem of rhetorization of modern public space associated
with the search for new forms of communication by the author and addresant, the expanding
complexity of media discourse representation, the increasing number of ways to receive and
process information, and the attempt to determine the vector of personality development and
the nature of its existence in a changing socio-cultural reality. The modern media system is
currently subject to significant and deep transformations, whose origins are not only in the
intensification and complication of the technological communication component of media
reality, but also in the aspiration of the latter to cross-cultural realities, to the dominance of
the author’s pole, the author’s consciousness, reflecting reality in speech practice. The form of
the author’s verbal behavior, his media image, also participate in these processes in the same
way. They adapt to new conditions, actualizing the need to talk about the modern rhetorical
status of medialism. The relevance of this area of the research is due to the fact that rhetoric
as a whole and its aspects again become the subject of reflection of pedagogical and scientific
thought, therefore the concept of a rhetorical code is relevant and significant for the analysis
of the current existing mass media discourse, because of its discreteness and polycodularity,
which is the most powerful channel for mediaising society. As a result, an attempt has been
made to justify the problem of the rhetorical code as a mental paradigm that is realized in
linguistic patterns, and it is also assumed that the analysis of mass media texts in the rhetorical
aspect will expand and clarify the idea of the nature of the mediatisation processes of modern
journalistic discourse.

ABDEM is an acronym of a small circle for reading of Ancient Greek authors, which created
an artistic, although collective, translation of ancient Greek novels by Achilles Tatius (“The
Adventures of Leucippe and Clitophon”) and Heliodorus (“Aethiopica”) published respective ly in 1925 and 1932. The regular meetings of the group took place in Petrograd / Leningrad
in 1922–1930. As for the title of the group: the A was the first letter for their forenames and
others are the beginning of their last names: Alexander Boldyrev (1896–1941), Aristid Dovatur
(1897–1982), Andrej Jegunov (1895–1968), Andrej Mikhankov (1904–at the earliest
1930). Later the group was joined by Emil von Wiesel (1897–?) and his surname of German
origin (meaning ‘weasel’) was translated into Latin as ‘mustela’. Three of them have completed
a university degree in Petrograd /Leningrad, while Aristid Dovatur after having received his
baccalaureate in Saratov was a PhD student there. Alexander Boldyrev, Andrej Jegunov, and
Aristid Dovatur were born into the families of army officers, Emil von Wiesel came from an
artistic family, Andrej Mikhankov was descendant of a merchant. The research was conducted
in the state archives of St. Petersburg in order to study university student dossiers of the ABDEM

The purpose of the article is to present the communication strategies of the subjects organizing
or managing awards and scholarships for journalists in Poland in the period from 1989 to
2018. The channels of external and internal communication, tools and techniques of promotion,
factors of the strategies’ effectiveness are to be the subject of analysis. The empirical basis
of the article consists of the internet pages for twenty-five national awards and five scholarships,
and press releases. Awards and scholarships in Poland have a tradition dating back to
the 20s of the XX century, but their importance has grown only in a free media market. The
context of an award and scholarship’s function is formed by debates on the topic of pauperization
of the journalistic profession and the weak level of media, which is associated with the
dominant laws of the economy. In the study of communication strategies for Polish journalistic
awards and scholarships, communication strategy is understood as a comprehensive information
system that uses effective marketing tools to enhance interaction with the audience of
the media. The goal of the strategy is to promote quality journalism. The information process
includes the following communication participants: editors, journalists, media workers, media
educators, students and graduates of journalistic specializations. It is possible to distinguish
specialized groups among the audience. Channels of information are traditional media
and the internet. The sender of the message are subjects, organizing and managing awards
and scholarships. Among these subjects it is possible to identify industry publishers, professional
associations, foundations, and media organizations. The recipients of the messages are
journalists (internal communication) and media audience (external communication). The
content of the messages indicates the names and patrons of awards and scholarships, the jury.
The effectiveness of communication strategies is measured using marketing tools employed in
business communication.
