value:
This article is the second part of a comparative study of Danish and Polish tweets,
inspired by the anthology “Microblogs global”. The first part of the study deals with the
social network and microblogging tool Twitter, including the more technical side of microblogging. The many tweet types and the extensive terminology in the field were
thoroughly and conscientiously explained. In addition, the contrasts concerning orthography
and spoken language were analysed. For the following description, 320 Danish
and 320 Polish tweets were collected from randomly selected profiles belonging
to various politicians, journalists, and private individuals posting mainly in Danish/
Polish. The analysis covers the period from 30 March to 6 April 2019, and includes
differences in tweets in terms of word preference, e.g. colloquialisms, anglicisms, or
profanity, to technical and linguistic reductions and the structure of sentences. The
degree of graphostilistics in relation to emojis, emoticons, smileys, and iteration is
analyzed. Interaction operators are investigated, as well as functional aspects of tweets,
i.e. whether tweets can be categorized as messages, comments, statements, or questions.
The greatest contrasts occur in such domains as reduction, graphostylistics, and
interaction. While the Polish corpus contains only 15 short forms/composites/abbreviations,
the Danish corpus contains 3 times more such words (51 examples). Differences
in graphostilistics concern above all the number and types of emojis. In addition,
emoticons are repeated or concentrated only in the Danish tweets. The divergences in
vocabulary and syntax are almost imperceptible.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article we present an unknown map of Krakow and its surroundings with
an attached description in Swedish, which is stored in the Riksarkivet, the National
Archives of Sweden (Stockholm). We are scrutinizing the circumstances in which this
work came into being, which indicates that the source was created between 1 and 7 October
1655, making it the oldest known map with an attached legend presenting not
only Krakow, but also the adjacent towns of Kleparz and Kazimierz and the suburb of
Stradom. This document was attached to an unpreserved letter that was probably sent
to the Scandinavian Peninsula. We present this relic as an attempt to depict war events
in an epistolographic message through a two-dimensional representation of space with
a legend. We place this against the broader background of changes in worldviews at
that time, shaped by increasingly popular atlases and printed maps. This work had no
tactical significance, nor was it used in propaganda of the Swedish Empire. Its main
purpose was to document epoch-making events. The map and legend were to complement
the epistolographic message, common in correspondence of the diplomatic and
military elites of the 17th century. The author must have been an educated person with
considerable spatial imagination. This person’s intellectual horizons are evidenced by,
among others, knowledge of the chorography of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by Szymon Starowolski (Kolonia 1632 and Gdańsk 1652). The map was presumably
made by Matthias Palbitzki, a diplomat and art connoisseur.

dc.description.abstract

value:
West Germanic languages such as Dutch have a temporal system, but a typical
feature of the Slavonic verb system is aspectuality. Most Slavonic borrowed or newlyformed
verbs in the technical sphere are based on Latin, however, a language with a
rather strict temporal system. Typically, such verbs are mostly borrowed as imperfective
(durative) verbs. This paper examines several such verbs and compares their integration
into Dutch, Czech and Polish. Dutch has no morphological forms showing
aspectuality. However, aspectuality is present, the difference is there a semantic one,
between a dynamic or a static character. In this article, ten potentially bi-aspectual
verbs borrowed from Latin are discussed, all of them having in Dutch a dynamic character.
In Czech and Polish, such verbs will have after borrowing initially a bi-aspectual
character. Depending on frequency of use, the verbs will become integrated by adding
aspectual prefixes. This integration is illustrated for both Slavonic languages by sentences
from recent press articles. Where in the Czech dictionaries, the majority of the
analysed verbs are still described as bi-aspectual, it seems that Polish is much faster at
changing Latin borrowed verbs into aspectual pairs. One should be, however, cautious
as it is often dependent on which dictionary one consults whether a verb is marked as
bi-aspectual or as imperfectivum tantum. Nevertheless, the general tendencies are clear.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Over the last few decades, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has become
a significant element of our reality and, subsequently, an item of interest for researchers
within many disciplines. CMC’s rapid development has resulted in the emergence of
new, multimodal means of expression, text genres, and communication styles. Among
the new genres are online consumer reviews, which impact the behavior of online consumers
to a large extent, but are also valuable for linguistic researchers due to their
structure, content, and functions. The headlines of online consumer reviews seem to be
of particular importance, although they have not received much attention in linguistic
research so far. This paper offers a contrastive analysis of 200 headlines of positive online
customer reviews for Danish and German dental care providers. Because of the way
consumer reviews are displayed and consumed online, their headlines can be treated as
separate texts and are analyzed as such throughout the paper. The investigation’s overall
goal is twofold: (i) to identify the basic communicative functions of the headlines, and
(ii) to describe the linguistic means employed to express those functions. The analysis
seeks to find potential similarities and differences between the headlines of positive
reviews written in Danish and German. The findings show that there is little variation
between the two subsets of the analyzed corpus as far as communicative functions and
employed linguistic means are concerned. This may indicate that the identified features
could be treated as characteristic of the genre rather than language-specific.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with Swedish and Russian proverbs about girl, woman, and wife,
which have a comparative structure. We propose a classification of the paremias of two
languages from the structural perspective, identify categories and productive models
of the proverbial languages, and show general and national-culturally determined attitudes
verbalized by paremiological units. This leads us to conclude that proverbs with
an explicit comparison, with the help of formal linguistic means, opposition and metaphors,
prevail in both Swedish and Russian. Structural differences lie in the presence of
a large-scale category of paremias expressing the position of the subjects of comparison
with the common predicate in the Swedish language; in the Russian language there are
units expressing comparison through negation. Most Swedish paremias characterize a
woman as opposed to a man, and the wife is presented diffusely and is rarely formally
separated from the general idea of a woman; Russian units separately single out the
wife as the leading woman’s status in family life. A small number of paremias of both
languages are dedicated to the unmarried girl. Both in Swedish and Russian proverbs
the masculine view dominates, which is due to the time of origin of these linguistic
units, in which a negative assessment of woman prevails. In both Swedish and Russian
paremias, a woman is endowed with such qualities as talkativeness, quarrelsomeness,
stupidity, and excessive emotionality. In the units of the two languages, an evil woman is marked. The differences lie in the attitude verbalized in the proverbs of the two languages,
to the physical impact on a woman by a man, in a negative assessment of the
beautiful appearance of the wife in Russian paremias, as well as in the thematic areas of
the images used. If Swedish proverbs use images of natural phenomena, then Russian
units use household realities. Swedish proverbs less categorically declare that women
are less valuable than men, unlike Russian proverbs.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with tonal differences in Danish, northern Low German, and
Franconian dialects, which appeared after the apocope. Dissyllabic words and forms
become monosyllabic, but they continue to differ due to differences in accents:
CVC — CVCV > CVC1 — CVC2, as in /hu.’s/ n. sg. hus ‘house’ — /hu.sә/ n. pl. huse
‘houses’ > /hu.s1/ — /hu.s2/ in Southern Jutlandic, /hu.s/ n.sg. nom/acc. Haus ‘house’ —
/hu.sә/ Hause ‘house’ dat. sg. > /hu.s1/ — /hu.s2/ in northern Low German dialects and
/haus/ n. sg. nom./acc. Haus ‘house’ — /hausә/ dat. sg. Hause ‘house’ > /haus1/ —
/haus2/ in Franconian Arzbach dialect. The appearance of such tonal differences is associated
with a sharp increase in monosyllabic words. The development in the Danish
apocopated dialects has much in common with the development in northern Low German
and Franconian dialects. It concerns not only the appearance of tones due to the
apocope and the same lexical and morphological distribution of the accents in related
words and forms (see above), but even the spread of the accent of apocope to original
monosyllabic words with a special phonemic basis (spontaneous accentuation), the
long phonetic duration of which was realized by the speakers as an accent of the apocope.
Tonal differences of root morphemes, along with the coincidence of the root with
the syllable and with the increase of the difference between syllable-initial and syllablefinal
consonants, turn out to be one of the most important means of segmentation of
the root morpheme in a text. The question is also raised about the possible contact
nature of the apocope and of the appearance of the tonal differences.

dc.description.abstract

value:
When it comes to the harmful effects of globalization on Norwegian traditional
values, one often draws on the example of the pizza “Grandiosa” phenomenon. Not
only the daily assortment of dishes, but also traditional Christmas fare gave way to the
“Grandiosa.” Experts in the field of culture and cultural heritage show much interest in
this phenomenon; it is also addressed in Norwegian fiction, mostly as something ignoble.
The change in Norwegian tastes that happened with this pizza is called the “revolution
in eating habits.” Researchers render it impossible to find a rational explanation
of this phenomenon. However, the traditional Norwegian cuisine is rather ascetic, with
preference to universal dishes, which is easily explained by difficult natural conditions.
And in our days, the lack of time dictates the extra need for universal dishes that combine
components of the first and the second, as well as a side dish, and which do not
require much time for cooking. Frozen pizza is perfect in that regard, and kebabs, tapas,
and tacos followed it to the Norwegian table. Pizza was just the first to announce the era
of food globalization, and it served as a conduit of globalization in Norwegian cuisine.

This article addresses the historical language variants of Flanders, spoken both within
and outside the region. The linguistic diversity of officially Dutch-speaking Flanders is
represented by Limburgish, West Flemish, Brabantian, and East Flemish dialects, with
Limburgish and West Flemish being entitled to the status of a distinct language. (Limburgish
is recognized as a regional language in the Netherlands.) This paper reviews some
sociolinguistic and political features of Flanders, acknowledging the area of West Flemish
dialect group use. Special emphasis is placed on the French Flemish dialect, present in the
territories of France and Belgium. This dialect is one of the most archaic West Flemish
dialects that suffered a profound impact from French and other neighboring languages.
The lexical and grammatical features of French Flemish are examined. It is noted that
code switching is common for the French Flemish dialect. Some of the French Flemish
syntax features related to the antecedent phenomena are explained via the binomiality
idea, that states any verbal or substantive part of a sentence be composed of two parts,
the first of which can be modified. Some syntax phenomena of French Flemish could be
the result of grammatical interference between the West Flemish dialect and the French
language. The paper also touches on the French Flemish support actions taken by France
and Belgium, and discusses French Flemish seceding from West Flemish dialect group
and acquiring a special status, that could be a status of a distinct language.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Somatisms, or names of human body parts, are the oldest and most important
components of the linguistic “picture of the world” of any nation. People have always
had associations with something directly related to them and that they are familiar
with — parts of the body. The most frequently used somatisms related to the upper
body (head) were chosen as material for this study: hoved ‘head’, næse ‘nose’, mund
‘mouth’, nakke ‘back of the head’, hals ‘neck’, pande ‘forehead’, øje ‘eye’, øre ‘ear’. Since
isolated somatisms act as independent units only in some specific contexts, the study
also included compound words with these somatism-components as the second component.
The analysis of meanings of the most frequent words belonging to the lexicalsemantic
group “Upper part of the human body” reveals a rather mixed picture. On the
one hand, these units in their literal sense make up parts of many compound words,
which allows us to identify the main word-formation patterns for this sphere. On the
other hand, somatisms in their figurative meanings are also actively used within compound
nouns. Pseudoparticiples represent a separate group that can be metaphorised
and in this case are used to characterize a person, together with evaluative nouns containing
similar second components. In some cases, pseudoparticiples serve as parallels
to evaluative nouns with a somatism as the second component. In the sphere of
evaluative nouns, there is a weakening of the semantics of words used as second components,
which clearly indicates that these units are on their way to become affixes.
The word-formation potential of the somatisms under study is extremely wide and is
determined by the importance of body parts in the sensory cognition of the world and in the subject-practical activity of man, which determines the number and regularity of
the units derived from them.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers ways of transferring the meaning of Dutch modal particles in
Russian text. Modal particles in Dutch act as communicative markers that are specific
to Dutch culture. In contrast to the popular opinion, that in translating modal particles
the method of omission prevails, this article examines the lexical, grammatical,
and syntactic methods for preserving the modal meaning of the Dutch text in Russian
translations, using examples from fiction. In addition, the question of translatability of
poetic texts is touched upon. Following N. M. Azarova and S. Y. Bochaver, the author
accepts the thesis of the translatability of the poetic text. Modern poetry, however, has
its own specific features, such as brevity, the importance of graphic appearance of the text, and discreteness of the statement. Within strict limits of the growing importance
of visual culture in the modern world, Dutch poets practically refuse “superfluous”
words, including modal particles, which are extremely rare in poetry. This observation
has a great value, because in today’s world of computer technology, the zero is as
important as the one.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the book by the famous German literary historian O. L. B. Wolff
(1799–1851), The Fine Literature of Modern Europe (1832), in which an attempt was
made for the first time to create a canon of European literature, which at that moment
was a substitute for the non-existent canon of world literature. This article provides a
comparative study of Dutch, Danish, and Swedish literatures in this work, which introduced
Dutch, Swedish, and Danish authors Little-known at the time to the general
reading public outside their own countries. The introduction of this forgotten source
allows us to reconstruct the criteria for evaluating “Northern” literatures within the
circle of “major” European literatures and to identify a “set” of those writers who, from
the author’s perspective, deserved some attention and could therefore form a canon
for the literatures described, which only partially coincides with the modern canon.
Of particular interest is the comparison of the German text of the book with its Russian
translation, published in 1835, which contains elements of a veiled polemic with
the German scholar, manifested not only in cuts made and the stylistic treatment of
Wolff ’s value judgements, but also in replacing certain sections by texts of Russian origin
whose authorship was established for the first time in the article. The juxtaposition
of the original text and its Russian translation demonstrates a discrepancy of perceptions
about the hierarchy of specific literatures within the constitutive canon of the
period and the translator’s desire to place Russian literature at the forefront, which he
saw eclipsing the literatures of the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Since the establishment of the Johannes V. Jensen Centre at Aarhus University in
1993, studies of the Nobel Prize winner have shifted from the biographical to the textual.
At the same time, the publication especially of early works with critical commentary
has intensified. The present article traces some themes throughout a half-century
of Jensen’s journalism, which was first assembled in book form in 2014 under the title
Word and Truth. The material brings more nuance to impressions of the poet’s opinions
and positions, in part because the anthologizing of his journalistic works has, until now
and for good reason, skimmed only the cream. Now the dregs are considered as well,
and even this portion of Jensen’s work impresses with its linguistically seductive energy
and fascinating images. Jensen himself agreed to have most of the articles reprinted,
and they were included in the so-called mythic volumes. Jensen regarded myth as a
special genre, his own reply in all modesty to what H. C. Andersen had done for the
fairy tale. Jensen’s journalism spans also biographically, from the poet’s native soil in
Jutland, to distant parts of the world, with the capital as well as rural Tisvilde as important
stops along the way. The poet’s efforts to protect nature and implied archeological
interests (not only in a Danish context) are reflected in a number of articles. Just
as meaningful, but modernity-oriented, is an enthusiasm for technical development,
machinery, and traffic on land, sea, and air. Life’s origins and the development of the
species are viewed with a Darwinist perspective. The present article’s second part deals
with Jensen’s tradition-bound understanding of the relationship between the sexes and,
in that connection, his fear of “sexual confusion” often mentioned, most painfully in the
1907 intimidation of his colleague Herman Bang. Finally, attention is given to the part
of Jensen’s journalism that portrays his own travels and his writings on other’s contributions
to the genre of travel literature.

The article explores one Bolshevik functionary between 1917 and the early 1930s, N. N. Tagunov. A
child of the working class who completed secondary education, Tagunov represents a type of young Bolshevik
actively involved in political life, passionate about philosophical problems, and irreconcilable to any deviation
from the party line. In 1925–1934, Tagunov repeatedly sent letters to Joseph Stalin and several times received
responses. In November 1925, Tagunov, as a member of the district committee bureau of the Central city district
in Leningrad, sent a letter to the gubkom with sharp criticism of Zinoviev’s supporters on the eve of the Fourteenth
party congress. Information about Tagunov’s letter was brought to Stalin, who replied to Tagunov; Tagunov in turn
sent Stalin two long letters about the mood of Leningrad’s party leadership. At the same time, Tagunov tried to
interest Stalin in his own theoretical works in the field of philosophy. After a short stay at the Institute of Red Professors
in 1927, he sharply attacked leading Marxist philosophers of the time, accusing them of serious theoretical
errors. At that time Stalin did not support Tagunov. After moving from Leningrad to Moscow in 1931, Tagunov
worked in various institutions. At the end of December 1934, he sent Stalin a long letter for the last time, accusing
former chairman of the Leningrad Soviet N. P. Komarov and a number of employees of the Party apparatus of
feeding a gang of “Zinoviev’s murderers”. Stalin’s resolution read: “I read it. It is possible that comrade Tagunov
is right”. The letter was sent to a number of Politburo members. After 1940 Tagunov was a personal pensioner.

value:
Using materials from Russian archives as well as from the Leeds Russian Archive (Great Britain),
this article traces stages of activity of the Russian Political Delegation (RPD). The Delegation was established in
1919 by the Russian Political Meeting (RPM) in Paris for direct participation in the Versailles Peace Conference.
Its activities were authorized by Admiral Kolchak, Supreme Ruler of Russia. The article covers the formation of
the RPD, which included Prince Lvov, N. V. Tchaikovsky, V. A. Maklakov, and S. D. Sazonov. Due to circumstances
beyond its control, the Delegation did not get the opportunity to participate in the conference, and its international
activities were quite limited. However, after the dissolution of the Russian Political Meeting, the Russian
Political Delegation continued its activities, claiming the status of the foreign center of a White Movement. Its
ranks aggravated the split between public figures and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Movement: social
activists wanted the government of Omsk to remove S. D. Sazonov. Admiral Kolchak decided to retain control of
his government over foreign missions, keep S. D. Sazonov as Minister, and asked the delegation to continue its
work. In fact, in late 1919 and early 1920, the Russian Political Delegation managed to head the foreign mission
of the White Movement. However, it was unable to cope with problems standing on its agenda. G. E. Lvov and
N. V. Tchaikovsky, who used the situation of the Delegation members to influence affairs, diligently supported its
existence. The last statements of the Russian Political Delegation refer to the end of 1920, the period of evacuation
of the Wrangel’s army from Crimea. Analysis of the RPD’s activities provides an insight into challenges that in
general were characteristic of the Movement and that eventually played their role in its defeat.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article examines the transformation of the image of capitalism in Russian public opinion during
Perestroika. The opposition between socialism and capitalism was a key aspect of Soviet ideology and the Soviet
system of values. Perestroika triggered new economic practices, such as leasing and cooperatives, which were
the first steps in the transition from communism to capitalism. Using various sources (periodical articles, Russian
citizens’ letters to officials and to editorial boards), this article investigates Russian people’s attitudes to the development
of capitalism in Russia. The early history of capitalism in Russia was turbulent, and people’s attitudes
to capitalism were versatile. An analysis of letters by Russian citizens reveals some characteristic features of the
Soviet mentality and assesses Soviet people’s attitudes to capitalism through the prism of a Soviet mentality that
rejected the idea of wealth accumulation, preached social equality, extolled social labor, but admired dictatorship
as the best form of social organization. Hence, people expressed their vehement disapproval of cooperatives
and demanded that the latter should be immediately closed. The author underlines that the image of capitalism
underwent a certain transformation in public opinion, which can be seen in infrequent but comprehensive letters
written by Soviet citizens who highlighted the necessity of market economy, stressing its advantages.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The country-wide uprisings of the winter and spring of 1920–1921 still lack a coherent explanation
and require further reflection. This article reconstructs events of this period in one of the most “quiet” territories
of Soviet Russia, the Arkhangelsk province, using political summaries and secret reports, as well as investigative
files and later memoirs. It was understood, both locally and centrally, that peasants were eager to follow the “successful
example” of mass resistance to the authorities. The aim of the state was not only to use punitive measures
to prevent mass protests and to minimize the influence of “irritants”, but above all to disrupt the distribution of undesirable
information. The use of a large number of informers recruited from various sections of society allowed
competent authorities to have an overview of what was happening in the country and to respond promptly to
any potential unrest. Secret information, including that received from foreign sources, forced local authorities to
prepare in advance for possible events in the provincial center, and to make efforts to prevent possible peasant
revolts in bordering territories in the north of Western Siberia and in the Velsk uyezd and Vologda province. The
actions of local authorities were on the whole successful; unrest in the Arkhangelsk province was avoided. However,
the sense of danger that persisted as a result of these events, despite the end of the Civil War, contributed
to a social mistrust that lasted for many years.

This essay investigates marriages between displaced Soviet citizens and foreigners, in the context of
problems of repatriation to the USSR after World War II, especially given previous policies on foreigners and persons
without citizenship, as well as legislation on international marriages. The article analyses marriage statistics
for 1945–1948, collected by the Soviet repatriation services, and the registration mechanisms and practices of
repatriation for this category of citizens. Based on materials of the Office for Repatriation under the Council of
People’s Commissars/Council of Ministers of the USSR, the legal framework for managing international marriages
and specific steps to counteract the change of citizenship and repatriation to the USSR by persons who
married foreigners are analysed to show how the USSR sought to complete repatriation from controlled countries
of Eastern Europe, demanding that satellites assist in the registration and removal of all Soviet citizens. Real
practice was based on maneuvering between prohibitions of international marriages and their legitimation, which
made it possible to optimize repatriation, while levelling out massive departures from the country. The decision of
the Soviet government of 24 July, 1945, endorsed by Stalin, authorising marriages with foreigners made during
the war, and this remained in effect until the adoption of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the
USSR from 15 February, 1947, banning them. The USSR did not manage to avoid new mass emigration following
the war, including to countries of Eastern Europe. However, Soviet citizenship was imposed on some “defectors”
that potentially made it possible to control this population.

dc.description.abstract

value:
At the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century, political parties became the main
actors for Russia’s social and economic processes and events. During the last three decades, they have been
the focus of scholars’ efforts since classified sources of the Soviet period were opened for public access at the
end of the 20th century. Intense scholarship shaped two main approaches to the topic. One focuses on each
political party individually, and the other focuses on interactions between all of them. The second approach, even
considering its merits, remains limited because relationships are explained mainly through competition between
political parties, whereas in reality, connections were more diverse. This article makes a first attempt to show at
personal and group levels the transition of former socialists to the Bolshevik party between the February and October
revolutions. It identifies specific party leaders and groups that changed their political views and positions;
establishes the time and motives for their break with their former parties to join the Bolsheviks; and clarifies the
impact of their joining the Bolshevik party. Based on an analysis of questionnaires of delegates who participated
in the Sixth Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (Bolsheviks), the article concludes that by the
end of the summer of 1917, the Bolshevik political elite consisted of almost 43 % of former socialists, among whom
there was a large proportion of professional revolutionaries. Such human resources, mostly consisting of “left-socialists,”
contributed to the radicalization of the RSDLP(b), reorienting the political struggle from democratic and
political methods to violence and militarism.

value:
The article describes the specifics of the campaign that unfolded during World War I to combat “German
dominance” in Crimea. Special attention is paid to the ideological component of this process, which, in
particular, manifested itself in the confrontation between the newspaper Yuzhnoye Slovo, which was close to the
provincial administration, and the newspaper Yuzhnye Vedomosti, which defended the pro-German position of
the local zemstvo (county council). From the first days of the war, two concepts were actively used in the Crimean
press: the unification of all peoples of the region in the face of danger, and Germany as the main culprit of the war.
The latter inevitably gave rise to a negative attitude towards the German community in Crimea. Examples of intolerance
towards the Germans and discussions on the “German issue” that developed on the pages of the press
are provided. The anti-German campaign resulted in the renaming of settlements. Examples of loyalty to Russia
by Crimean Germans are considered. Measures taken in the Taurida province to eliminate German land tenure
are analyzed. The local zemstvo organized a deputation to Petrograd, which was supposed to achieve a softening
or abolition of the liquidation legislation. At the same time, the right-wing circles saw the liquidation as a tool for
the forced Russification of Crimea and the strengthening of state positions in the multinational border region. In
fact, the struggle against “Germanism” led to a socio-economic crisis in the Taurida province.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article investigates features of forced labor in the border territory of Belarus and the North-West
of Russia during Nazi occupation of 1941–1944. The Wehrmacht used forced labor both in Germany by hijacking
Soviet citizens there, and in industrial enterprises and in agriculture of the occupied territories. The civilian population
was involved in the performance of certain work in favor of the occupation authorities. Peasants, in addition
to traditional agricultural work and payment of in-kind taxes, were often forcibly involved in performing horse —
drawn duties, peat and logging, railway protection, and mine clearance. Citizens were actively used by the occupying authorities to construct defensive structures and to work at industrial enterprises. Refusal to work was
punishable by a fine, deprivation of ration cards, corporal punishment, and sentencing to a labor camp or shooting.
Forced to work in enterprises, institutions, and agriculture, the population received meager wages and food
rations, and the vast majority of workers lived below the poverty line. A special place among the crimes of Nazism
in the territory of the North-West of Russia and Belarus, where the occupation went on the longest, is occupied
by the forcible deportation of the population to Germany. From some settlements, the occupation authorities sent
entire local populations to Germany without regard to age, health, or family circumstances. To provide the Nazi
economy with labor, the occupation authorities paid considerable attention to propaganda among the population
and the organization of recruitment campaigns. However, this did not contribute to raising the number of volunteers;
instead, local residents in the occupied regions sabotaged the orders of the German-fascist command.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article aims to provide an account of an academic scientific institute as an independent functioning
unit of the Soviet scientific system from the first half of the 1960s until the end of the Soviet era. This was a time
of gradual decline of scientific achievements of the USSR after resounding successes in the 1950s. During these
years, the growth rate of the number of scientists sharply decreased, and the understanding of their role in the institutions
of the USSR Academy of Sciences changed. Using a wide range of archival documents, some used for
the first time, the functions of each category of research institute employees, their qualifications, boundaries of
authority, and ways to strengthen their position are described as factors that affect the effectiveness of research
activities of the institute. Estimates of contemporaries — members of the academic community, given to certain
social groups of research institute collectives — are provided. The academic research institute created favorable
conditions for free scientific work by organizing a system of positions. Researchers could use the assistance of
highly qualified support staff, were spared from mechanical labor and responsibility for technical processes, and
had to deal only with science. The formal status of researchers at the Academy during the 1960s — 1980s steadily
strengthened until the end of the Soviet era, in which they had the right to influence the election of the director
of the institute at the general meeting of the collective, which has also contributed to democratization in the late
1980s. The inability to intervene in individual research processes made it difficult to get rid of vain employees and
thus reduced the effectiveness of Soviet scientific institutions.

dc.description.abstract

The article examines tense relations between the state, managers, and employees of industrial enterprises,
concretely at the Vodokanalizatsiya Trust. The trust was engaged in the design, construction, and operation
of water supply and sewage systems, the most important systems for modernizing urban space in the whole
of Europe. Technological innovations were to be followed by social changes that could have their own specific
traits in relation to other enterprises, since the trust did not belong to any of the most important branches of Soviet
industry. Materials from the Central State Archives of St. Petersburg regarding activities of this department in the
“Vodokanalizatsiya” trust show that a so-called Secret Department (Sekretnaya chast) or Secret Police, a branch
of the OGPU — NKVD, gradually began to play an increasingly important role in managing these enterprises.
Through these Secret Departments, new principles of hiring and dismissal from work, as well as imposing disciplinary
sanctions, were introduced in the late 1920s. The special attention of the Secret Department was received
by so-called “former people,” as well as by representatives of peoples. All this took place under conditions of an
acute shortage of skilled labor in Leningrad. Thus, the state’s interests in economic development came into conflict
with other interests, which in state literature are labelled as “ideological” and are rarely analyzed in detail. The
article discusses the real case of anti-Soviet agitation, of which the central figure was a worker in the communal
services of Leningrad. Thus, the role of the OGPU — NKVD in the development of the Soviet industry in the 1930s
is studied using the example of the Vodokanalizatsiya Trust.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Drawing on new archival documents recently released into circulation, this article investigates the
decision-making mechanism of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU regarding the reform of state
security bodies in the early 1950s. The reason for this was the statement of the senior investigator of the Investigative
unit for particularly important cases of the MGB of the USSR, M. D. Ryumin, who signaled the unfavorable
situation in the Ministry of State Security. This contributed to V. S. Abakumov’s removal from office and arrest.
A number of other leaders of the MGB were also arrested. In October 1951, by decree of the Soviet Council of
Ministers, M. D. Ryumin was appointed Deputy Minister of State Security, member of the Board of the MGB, and
head of the investigative unit of the MGB. However, a year later, he was suspended from work in the Ministry
of State Security for failing to solve the “Abakumov case” and “the doctors’ case”, and was sent to the Central
Committee of the CPSU. Later he was appointed to the post of senior controller of the Ministry of State Control
of the USSR. After Stalin’s death, Ryumin was arrested in July 1954 for falsifying investigative materials, torturing
prisoners, and committing other offenses. By the decision of the Military Board of the Supreme Court of the
USSR, he was executed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Russia’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905 and the Portsmouth Peace Treaty radically
changed the balance of power in the Far East. It caused considerable damage to the image of the Russian Empire
in the international arena and had a negative impact on Sino-Russian relations. However, one set of sources
allows us to look at the well-known events from a different angle, and this has remained outside the attention
of specialists in Sino-Russian relations. Russian satirical periodicals at the turn of the 20th century can serve as
such a source, for it was during this period that more information about China became available to a wide range
of readers in the Russian press. Along with the growing number of references to China, authors and readers inevitably
began to form a unique and sometimes contradictory image of the eastern neighbor. This image, on the
one hand, was directly related to current events in politics and international relations, and on the other could itself
have a certain influence on the relations of the two empires at various levels. The Russo-Japanese War occupied
a special place in the formation of Russia’s image of the East, in general, and of China, in particular. References to
military operations on the Far Eastern fronts are found in virtually every issue of the 1904–1905 satirical magazines
Budil’nik and Strekoza, which were popular at the time. Of course, the main “evil” for contemporaries was Japan,
portrayed in extremely unsightly forms. However, China was not ignored either, especially since military actions
partly took place on its territory. This article explores how China was seen by representatives of one of the most
popular journalistic genres of those years.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the Soviet forest industry during modernization in the 1930s, enterprises were built and advanced
equipment and technologies were introduced, and at the same time heavy physical work of “free-bodied”, seasonal
workers, rural residents, special residents, and prisoners was used on a wide scale. The weak level of development
of certain components of the forest industry, the need to develop production facilities, and improving
the organization of labor led to the introduction of various competitive forms of labor, including the Stakhanovite
movement, which was born in 1935. The People’s Commissariat of the Forest Industry began to actively advocate
for the use of Stakhanovism in their enterprises to implement annual plans and to mechanize production processes.
Exceeding standards by workers did take place, but this was achieved mainly due to the long preparation at
sites, the provision of necessary resources, the performance of certain types of work, and the increase of labor
loads. The “best” workers managed to improve their social statuses, wages, and housing and living conditions
and to receive awards. The potential of the Stakhanovite movement was limited by the weak level of its organization,
and the employees’ sometimes negative attitude to this form of competition, as well as by problems of
remuneration and distributing resources. Short-term labor “records” were followed by decline. As a result, there
were no significant changes in worker productivity in the Soviet forest industry. In pulp and paper, plywood, and
cardboard industries, labor productivity was connected primarily with the development of capacities of enterprises
put into operation during the first and second five-year plans.

value:
This article explores a narrow aspect of cultural dialogue between Japan and socialist Eurasia (the
Central Asian and Siberian regions of the USSR and Mongolian People’s Republic) during Cold War in the 1960s
and 1970s, using essays by Japanese writers Yasushi Inoue and Ryotaro Shiba, who visited Soviet Central Asia
and the Far East and socialist Mongolia in 1965–1973; trips by Japanese writers; and the image of socialist Eurasia in Japanese public opinion. The sources for the analysis are The Tale of the Western Region by Yasushi Inoue
(Seiiki Monogatari, 1968, trans. in English in 1971 as Journey beyond Samarkand and Mongolian Travel Notes by
Ryotaro Shiba (Mongoru kiko:, 1974). Yasushi Inoue made two trips to Soviet Central Asia in 1965 and 1968, and
Ryotaro Shiba went to Mongolian People’s Republic through the Soviet Far East (Khabarovsk and Irkutsk) in 1973.
Researched texts serve as a platform for the author’s dialogue with a wide readership in Japan that helped shape
the public image of the Soviet Union in non-central regions. The popularity of Inoue’s and Shiba’s image of socialist
Eurasia is confirmed by the fact that Shiba’s travel notes were reprinted for several times by different publishers
in Japan, although it was first published in the newspaper Asahi Shimbun in 1973–1974; a novel by Yasushi Inoue
also was reprinted in several editions and served as inspiration for the modern writer Ryo Kuroki, who dedicated
his novel Runway on the Great Silk Road about Japanese-Kyrgyz relations in the early 2000s.

This article explores a number of projects of the Russian branch of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation
dedicated to historical memory. Key directions and principles of the Foundation’s activities are characterized, in
which the theme of commemoration of prominent figures of the left movement occupies a significant place. The
article analyses Russian translations and publications of Michael Brie, supported by the Foundation and motivated
by a desire to rethink important milestones in Russian and German history from scholarly and practical points
of view. It also examines deeds of great personalities such as Vladimir Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg. The authors
discuss not only methods and techniques of exploring biographical material, but also about the relevance of Lenin
and Luxemburg’s ideas to present-day thinkers. Securing positions of Lenin and Luxemburg’s works in historical
memory is vital and various forms of visualization play a significant role in this — the publication of an annotated
catalog of Lenin’s photographs, preparation of the exhibition for the anniversary of Rosa Luxemburg, the release
of Luxemburg’s biography in comic book form, as well as presentations regularly held in the office of the Moscow
bureau of the Foundation. The Foundation has repeatedly supported major scholarly events dedicated to the
anniversaries of both Lenin and Luxemburg. Everyone has the opportunity to be acquainted with the collections’
materials, and thanks to the support of the Foundation, books are distributed free of charge.

value:
The article describes the collection of documents “Letters to the Authorities in the Years of the New
Economic Policy”, prepared by Novosibirsk historians and dedicated to the New Economic Policy in Siberia. Researchers
extracted from various archives letters, statements, complaints, and petitions from residents of cities
and villages sent to various government structures. These documents make it possible to more fully and adequately
characterize the state of society and the authorities in Siberia, to seek the presence or absence of dialogue
between them, and to assess the degree of political adaptation of various social strata to the Soviet regime
in the 1920s. At the same time, the documents make it possible to identify problems that the population regularly
faced and to see reactions of the authorities to the changing mood of society. The new documents provide an
opportunity for an in-depth study of a number of problems facing the country as a whole and its individual regions.
These include labor desertion, which intensified at the time of the transition of Soviet Russia from war communism
to the new economic policy; the “Chinese question”, which for a number of reasons had its own specificity precisely
on the territory of Siberia; party purges; and the authorities’ methods for dealing with political opponents. The inner-party struggle of the 1920s, which is simplified in the literature, deserves special elaboration. Research
in this direction will make it possible to determine the internal structure of opposition groups, their numbers, and
forms of political struggle.

The objective of the article was to evaluate an alternative approach for migraine. The patients
received an alternative multimodal approach (AMA) involving nutraceuticals, melatonin,
and dietary changes. Six patients were included in the study. Comorbidities were
observed in all patients and included hypertension, depression, anxiety, diabetes, asthma,
silicone breast implants, and allergic rhinitis. Sleep disorders were observed in 67 % of the
patients. Interestingly, after applying AMA, there was a remarkable improvement in all participants.
Vitamin D levels surged significantly, and sleep improved in all patients with sleep
disturbances. The number of days with migraine was reduced significantly. An improvement
of VAS well-being was observed after AMA, and a reduction of the VAS migraine pain
was noted. All migraineurs, except one, suspended the conventional preventive drugs for
migraine. An AMA is effective and safe, without any side effects for migraine prevention
and therapy.

value:
The problem of rehabilitation of patients with cataract, analysis of effectiveness of surgical
treatment, restoration of professional activity and obtaining a high quality of life after cataract
surgery is of great medical and social importance. The basic principles of modern medicine
are patient orientation, personalized and multidisciplinary approach. Attention is focused not
on an individual disease and its symptoms, but on the patient as a whole person with all
life’s concerns and problems. The study of the quality of life (QOL) of the patients with cataract
allows us to assess the influence of cataract and surgical treatment on the psychological,
emotional state of the patient, his functioning in the social environment. However, cataract
surgery is a rehabilitation treatment aimed at restoring functions lost due to cataract. International
classification of functioning (ICF), limitation of vital activity and health is a generally
accepted classification in rehabilitation medicine. In accordance with new trends, the possibility
of using ICF for the study of visual impairments and limitation of vital activity in patients
with cataract before and after surgical treatment is becoming relevant.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Glomerulonephritis is a heterogeneous group of immuno-inflammatory diseases. The purpose
of the study: to analyze the subpopulation composition of lymphocytes in children with
various types of glomerulonephritis. 50 children aged 1 to 16 years were examined: 1 group —
17 children aged 1 to 16 years with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis; 2 group — 33 patients
aged 2 to 16 years with virus-associated glomerulonephritis. Diagnostics of the subpopulation
composition of lymphocytes was performed by flow cytometry using non-flushing
technology using a three-color combination of monoclonal antibodies. It was found that the
development of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis is accompanied by signs of immunodeficiency
against the background of a relative increase in the content of T-lymphocyte subpopulations.
Differentiation of lymphocytes in children with virus-associated glomerulonephritis
is ambiguous: the process goes either along the path of activation of antiviral protection, or
along the path of development of insufficient antiviral activity of immunocytes. In children
with virus-associated glomerulonephritis, a decrease in the level of B-lymphocytes was found,
correlating with hypoimmunoglobulinemia A, which is an additional factor in reducing resistance
on the mucous membranes. The study of lymphocyte differentiation in the development
of glomerulonephritis is important for identifying the main immunological mechanisms involved
in the pathogenesis of these diseases.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is responsible for a
reported 456,797,217 cases of COVID-19, and 6,043,094 deaths worldwide as of 12.03.2022.
Following infection with SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic
or mild (~80 % of infections), to severe disease that typically requires hospitalization
and assisted respiration. Innate immune responses to viral infection are also a critical determinant
of disease outcome. Genetic risk factors for COVID-19 are in the early stages of study.
A number of mutations and polymorphisms have been identified that affect the structure and
stability of proteins — factors of susceptibility to SARS-COV-2 infection, a predisposition to
the development of respiratory failure, and the need for intensive care. Most of the identified
genetic factors are related to the function of the immune system. On the other hand, the genetic
polymorphism of the virus itself affects the spread and severity of the course of COVID-19.
The genome of the virus accumulates mutations and evolves towards increasing contagiousness,
replicative ability, and evasion from the host’s immune system. Genetic determinants
of infection are potential therapeutic targets. Studying them will provide information for the
development of drugs and vaccines to combat the pandemic.

dc.description.abstract

value:
There are many different emergency cases (besides road traffic incidents) in which the outcome
for the affected person depends on the timing of the relevant first aid. One of the possibilities
to improve the situation is to train a certain population of first aid skills. Identify
the audience which is more appropriate to teach first aid skills to be able early to recognize a
medical emergency and provide first aid correctly. First aid knowledge and skills of the participants
were detected by a questionnaire in 2020. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 22,
p < 0.05. Four hundred and thirty loyal citizens of Krasnoyarsk, Russia, participated in classes.
The training led to the significant improvement in the first aid knowledge and skills of the
participants (before-and-after study). The citizens who have already witnessed an emergency
case realize the opportunity of the emergency situation and their responsibility for the outcome
better than the others. The regular first aid classes conducted by the medical community
members for people of 30–45 years old with a higher educational level can significantly influence
the number of favorable outcomes of emergency out-of-hospital cases.

dc.description.abstract

value:
An important component of improving the healthcare system is providing medical
institutions with highly qualified personnel. In the era of evidence-based medicine, clinical
guidelines developed by the expert community and approved by regulatory authorities are the
cornerstone of maintaining the knowledge and skills of medical personnel at a high level. In
modern medicine, new data are accumulating very quickly, which requires regular changes in
the algorithms for managing specialized patients. Frequent updating of clinical guidelines and
their increasing importance as a document regulating the provision of medical care to patients
with various diseases necessitate the intensification of additional professional education of
doctors. Doctors’ awareness of the current provisions of clinical guidelines and readiness to
implement them in everyday practice is an important condition for the compliance of real
medical care with modern requirements. Under the conditions of the system of continuous
medical education, the programs for improving the skills of doctors should be constantly
improved. The article discusses the methodology for updating educational programs based on
the analysis of the results of an anonymous survey of doctors on the main aspects of the current
clinical guidelines. Identification of questions, the answers to which turn out to be incorrect
more often than others, and quantitative analysis of the distribution of incorrect answers allow
to correct programs in order to achieve a higher level of knowledge of trainees in the most
difficult sections of clinical guidelines. Information about the changes that were made to the
advanced training programs for doctors in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular
diseases on the basis of the data obtained during the questionnaire is presented. It is expected
that the discussed methodology for updating the advanced training programs for doctors
will help to improve the provision of the needs of modern healthcare for highly qualified
personnel.

value:
During historical research into the Russian physician Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov (1810–1881)
and his relation to Dutch scientists in shaping Russian medical science, access was allowed to
the first author of this manuscript to the fundamental library of the Military Medical Academy
named S. M. Kirov. The library is one of the oldest libraries in Russia and was founded by Pavel
Zakharyevich Condoidi, a pupil of the Dutch scientist Herman Boerhaave. Condoidi succeeded
the oldest nephew of Herman Boerhaave, Herman Kaau-Boerhaave after his death as director
of the Russian Meditsinskaya Kantselyariya (Ministry of Healthcare). At this site, the extensive
library and personal notes of Hermann Boerhaave and his nephews are kept. Later on, it appeared
that the same Academy also had a collection of artefacts that are attributed to the famous
anatomist Frederik Ruijsch. These artefacts were acquired during the first visit of Peter the Great
to the Netherlands. To understand how these artefacts and archive of Boerhaave had become
part of the Academy’s collection, we delved into the common medical history of Russia and the
Netherlands. In this manuscript, we will lift a tip of the veil regarding the archives of Herman
Boerhaave and the “small” anatomical and zoological collections of Fredrik Ruijsch.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the phenomenon of “private label” (PL) in the environment of retail chains
and presents the methodology for its study. The evolution of this phenomenon is briefly described
as a voyage of PLs from a sort of consumer perceived trade-off between price and quality
towards converting them into competitive brands. Some features of PLs are noted that give them
the opportunity to become mediators of a new culture of responsible consumption. Multidimensionality
and complexity of representing the PL as a sustainability brand are shown, that
leads to the need to apply an interdisciplinary approach to research and development of relevant
curricula/courses. Understanding the function of a sustainability brand as a mediator of a new culture predetermines the need for a methodological approach based on the highest form
of interdisciplinarity, viz. the transdisciplinarity. A conceptual model of sustainability branding
for retail chains is presented, which considers additional factors that go beyond the seller-buyer
interface: impacts of state and public institutions and consumer brand experiences, mainly accumulated
in the respective online brand communities. The persistence of the problem of ensuring
the adequacy of the semantic Russian-language terminological system of sustainability branding
is emphasized. Possible practical applications of outputs of this work are proposed and directions
for further research are outlined.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the Russian Federation, the topicality of the problem of collusion between suppliers at public
auctions is caused by the fact that since 2006 the Russian public procurement legislation has
been aimed at limiting the discretionary power of the public buyer to a much greater extent as
compared to the modern international procurement practice. Such limitation was set, basically,
by selecting the English auction (least suitable for effective collusion counteraction) as the main
public procurement procedure. This paper studies the collusion problem as related to the purchases
of St. Petersburg public hospitals over the period of 2014–2020. An important attribute of these purchases is that most of them use the English auction as the procurement method. The
collected empirical evidence on 91 999 public purchases of the medical organizations in St. Petersburg
demonstrated that almost half of them resulted in a slight (no more than 1,5%) decrease
of the initial contract price. The paper identifies the main issues of the Russian procurement legislation
in general and those related to the healthcare sector, in particular, that increase incentives
for collusion. Recommendations on how to deal with these issues are provided. For the auctions
with a slight initial contract price decrease, the paper formulates sufficient conditions for identification
of collusion between suppliers. The conditions are based on the information of suppliers’
behavior during the auction. As demonstrated in the paper, the application of these conditions to
the results of conducted auctions can significantly help the Russian Federal Antitrust Service in
its activities to identify the public purchases suspected of collusion between suppliers.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Tourist behavior is crucial when studying tourists’ reviews. Fleeting but powerful, greedy
behavior drives tourists to exaggerate negativity while reviewing tourism destination brands. To
date, however, the current studies on tourism have not considered the role of greed to harm
destination reputations. To address the issue, this study relies on locus of control theory as one
of critical theories that treat consumer behavior. The study investigates the correlation between
tourists’ locus of control and their review of tourism destinations in terms of the employees’ efficiency
at destinations. The study uses a distributed survey among 230 frequent travelers using
STATA software to analyze regressions for data analysis and mediation analysis. The study uses
different measurement scales with 17 items to ensure the reliability and validity of the research.
The results revealed that tourists who attribute the holiday success to their choices of destinations,
provide positive reviews of those destinations and do not exaggerate negative feedback in
the reviews. The study also shows that employees’ efficiency at the destination plays a crucial role
as a mediator between tourists’ locus of control and their reviews. Theoretical and managerial
implications are discussed.

The football business is of interest to researchers and investors as a potentially promising area
for the development of management theory and investment respectively. One of the important
issues in this context is performance management of professional football clubs. In this paper
authors propose the criteria characterizing the effectiveness of a football club and build up a
system of target indicators (KPI) aimed at quantitatively measuring of the strategic directions
of development. The system of balanced scorecards is taken as a basis and includes four blocks:
sporting achievements, financial indicators, negotiations with fans, effective management. The
assessment criteria were selected based on scientific research in the field of sports management,
and the assessment system was tested on the example of three football clubs: PFC CSKA (Russia),
Olympique Lyon (France) and Copenhagen (Denmark). The proposals offered in this study can
be used by professional football clubs and football federations in building up their development
strategies and for the purposes of operational management to improve performance and create unique competitive advantages. Other kinds of team sports can also apply the proposed system
of indicators.

as an individual factor makes sense asa moderator for exolaining the relationship between
organizational, managerial factors and activity of participants in knowledge sharing. As a result
of the analysis of the management factorsthe most favorable mechanism of coordination for
knowledge exchange was mutual coordination. It was implemented through informal communication
and iwas based on understanding of roles, degree of responsibility and sense of belonging by the
team members. It was also revealed that organizational factors, including the system of incentives,

value:
Short-termism, the firm’s following strategic management practices for short-term, restricts
investment in physical and intellectual capital. Investors and managers should identify and
counteract such practices in a timely manner. However, existing academic and practical studies
overlook problem of short-termism in emerging markets, lack reliable metrics of shorttermism
or consider only financial indicators in existing horizon metrics. In this paper, we
closed some research gaps and constructed the relative horizon index which evaluated
strategic focus of public non-financial companies from various industries. We also performed
empirical study of horizon index on the sample of 50 Russian non-financial companies over
2014–2019. It revealed that the energy and utility segments in Russia have the largest share
of long-term oriented companies, while the industrial, real estate and consumer goods segments
have a significant share of short-term oriented companies. The former is explained
by: the significant need for modernization in these sectors; developed corporate government
systems of firms; limited incentives to accounting manipulations; and a diverse set of stakeholders.
Conversely, the latter is underpinned by low levels of investments in comparison to
depreciation of real estate, industrial and consumer goods companies. It is also driven by
higher incentives for these companies to play with accounting ratios. We showed that the
long-term strategic orientation of the firm is not immediately realized into sTable positive
economic profit patterns over time. However, there is strong and positive correlation between
the firm’s decision to follow long-term strategic orientation and the value of multi-period
growth in firms’ economic profit. The results can be used by investors, analysts and asset
managers to screen the companies on the subject of their following long-term value creation
principles and to compare the ability of the firms to sustain positive economic profit.

The article examines the impact of сorporate governance factors on the еnvironmental, social,
and governance rating in companies from industrial and IT sectors. The aim of this study is to
identify and measure the impact of corporate governance factors on ESG rating in industrial
and IT sectors. The research also includes a country-specific analysis: for European, Asian and
American companies. The dependent variable is ESG rating — an indicator of the company’s
compliance with environmental, social and governance standards. The paper considers observations
of 80 companies since 2005 to 2020. The results of this study showed that the most
significant practices in European companies are the presence of a policy of independence of
the board of directors and an increase in the percentage of non-executive members. For Asian
companies, corporate governance factors such as the presence of a policy of independence of
the board of directors, an increase in the percentage of non-executive directors effect positively.
For American companies, the following practices positively influence the ESG rating — the
existence of a policy of independence of the board of directors and the corporate social responsibility
committee and an increase in the percentage of women on the board of directors.
In terms of sectors, the results showed that information technology companies are positively
affected by an increase in the percentage of non-executive members, the presence of a corporate
social responsibility committee, and an increase in average age. Also, if the chairperson
is a woman the chances of getting a higher ESG rating increase. In industrial sector companies,
the presence of a corporate social responsibility committee and a policy of independence of
the board of directors, as well as the fact that the chairman was a CEO, are positively affected.
These results can be used by companies to develop a plan to improve corporate performance.

The objective of this paper is to systematize the research on the consumer digital trust from
2016 to 2022 and to determine existing and future research trends. The authors apply a combined
systematic and bibliometric review methodology using Scopus metrics and natural language
processing techniques using R. Through an analysis of 173 journal publications from the Scopus
database, the authors systemize accumulated knowledge on the topic. As a result, the authors
have developed a knowledge map based on keywords, identified and analyzed seminal papers
on digital trust, identified the main research directions on this topic, and analyzed their development
and perspectives. From a practical point, the results of the study demonstrate that companies
not only need to pay attention to the development of consumer trust in service, but that the
quality of technical equipment and the security of consumer data are also important. Also,
research demonstrates, that while digital trust is generally important for online services, it plays
