dc.description.abstract

value:
The scientific basis of Marxist theory is the forerunner of modern linguopolitics. For the founders of
Marxism, “nations” are the language communities as the basis (base) of joint production. But this basis
is constantly changing under the influence of production and the relations of production. Economy
in history appears as a factor of social development. Language (national) inertia is a factor of stability
and conservation. It is arguably the linguistic-political ideas of Marxism, together with economic
determinism, that can best explain the socio-historical evolution of mankind. But Marxism was the
product of its time and political circumstances. Scientific forecasting of socio-political processes is
impossible without taking into account the linguistic and political laws of the development of human
society. Refs 20. Table 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents a reconstruction of the system of political argumentation system set forth by pope
Boniface VIII which amounted to a fulfillment of all the arguments of previous apologists for the
supremacy of papal authority, Giles of Rome in particular. The article shows how the highest stage
of development of the doctrine of the papal theocracy created the basis for the idea of sovereignty.
The end of 13th century European history marked a period of crisis for all forms of universalism and
the strengthening of “new monarchies” that become the main rivals of Catholicism with its political
ambitions in the struggle for the loyalty of its subjects. Significant changes were taking place in political
argumentation as well. The emperors acted from the same positions as the papacy, defending the
very nature of universal political power. On the other hand, kings, not having imperial ambitions,
proclaimed their supreme power exclusively within the borders of the state. Papal bulls, in particular
Unam Sanctam, give a structured and well-reasoned response not only to the private challenge of the
claims of the Philip IV of France, but also to a political doctrine based on the legacy of Aristotle and
Roman law and splitting the integrity of the “Christian world” by justifying the self-sufficiency of political
Communities. The Pope, going beyond the powers of the supreme feudal lord in the church, is
approaching in its status to the absolute monarchs of the Modern history. Refs 35.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on ethnosocial aspects of the political history of Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous part
of the United Republic of Tanzania. It describes the shaping of Zanzibari identity from the pre-colonial
period until the present and its controversial interpretations by representatives of different ethnosocial
groups. It provides a survey of main ethnosocial groups inhabiting the Zanzibar Archipelago and
their hierarchy in the past and considers the correlation of ethnic identities with historical experiences,
attitudes to the status of Zanzibar in the Union and political mobilities at present. During the
period of anti-colonial struggle for independence, the activities of most influential Zanzibari parties
(the Zanzibar Nationalistic Party (ZNP), the Afro-Shirazi Party (ASP) and the Umma Party), as well as
their ideologies, were highly relevant to the ethnosocial background of their members and supporters,
reflecting their interests and political ambitions. Since then, these ethnic-based stereotypes of the past
have been actualized in the debates of the ruling and the opposition parties up to the present. Ethnopolitical
configurations in Zanzibar itself are analyzed within the context of interactions between
Zanzibar and the continental part of the Union. Refs 5.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Asymmetrical trunk use in elephants represents a distinctive example of motor
lateralization. Previous studies have shown that trunk movements in the
elephant behaviour associated with feeding is lateralized at the individual, but
not the population level. The manifestation of lateralized behaviour depends
on the nature of the behaviour and is usually more pronounced in social context.
Therefore, we hypothesized that population-level lateralization of trunk
use in elephants is manifested in social behaviour. One-sided biases in trunk
movements were assessed in wild individually-identified Asian elephants during
feeding (tearing off a tuft of grass) and social interactions (trunk-to-mouth
contacts and trunk-to-genitals contacts between male initiator and female recipient).
In feeding, lateralization at the individual and population levels was
estimated based on 50 lateral trunk uses per individual. In social interactions,
only the population-level bias was assessed using a single trunk contact from
each individual. For trunk movements during feeding, elephants showed robust
individual preferences, but no population-level lateralization. The distribution
of right- and left-trunkers in the present study did not differ significantly
from that obtained in previous studies of both the same elephant population
and geographically distinct population. No population-level bias in trunk movements
during trunk-to-mouth contacts was revealed. In trunk-to-genitals contacts,
in contrast, a population-level lateralization was found. Right-sided trunk
movements prevailed in males touching females. While individual preferences
for feeding, combined with the absence of one-sided population bias, is obviously
a species-typical characteristic of Asian elephants, social behaviour, such
as male-female socio-sexual contacts, can elicit population-level lateralization
of trunk use in this species. The right-sided bias in trunk-to-genitals contacts
may reflect lateralization of olfactory perception. If this is the case, the revealed
lateralization indicates a right-hemispheric advantage in the processing of social
information which is consistent with the general tendency in mammals.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A study of the greenspace in the Central district of St.-Petersburg found the basic elements of Fe, Cr,
Ni, and Pb pollution in an association of elements isolated by factor analysis. Species-specific factors
related to the accumulation of trace elements lie in the fact that leaves and bark of lime (Tilia cordata
Mill.) have high a content of a majority of the above elements. Zn and Cd are accumulated in organs of
the poplar (Populus x berolinensis Dippel.). Ratios of the microelement content for the city/control are:
for lime leaves — Fe (9,4), Pb (5,3), Cr (4,7), Zn (4,6), Cu (4,5); for poplar leaves — Cd (6,3), Pb (5,5),
Fe (4,7), Zn (3,7), Cr (3,2); for lime bark — Cu (15,9), Fe (9,6), Pb (7,5), Cr (5,8), Ba (5,5), Ni (5,1);
for poplar bark — Cu (9,6), Fe (5,5), Pb (4,9), Ba (3,9). Analysis of summarized pollution indicators
showed that the leaves of the trees represent seasonal pollution of the urban environment and characterize
it as medium and high. The bark of the trees, however, accumulating pollutants over many years,
reflects a medium, high, and very high level of pollution in the district (for lime bark 54 % of samples
characterized a very high level of pollution). Spatial distribution of contaminants is very patchy, due to
the particulars of anthropogenic impact and the history of development in particular areas. It is noted
that plants exposed to the highest load are those on streets with heavy vehicular traffic loads. Refs 10.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Meninges comprise three distinct layers, the dura mater, arachnoid, and pia
mater that surround the brain, spinal cord and some parts of the nerves. Traditionally
the meninges were believed to serve only as protection for tissues that
they encase. However recent work shows they have other important functions
related to development and regulation of the nervous system. Given the importance
of the meninges, it is surprising that we know very little about their development.
The embryological origin of the meninges has been debated for over a
hundred years. Some studies imply that the meninges develop from the neural
crest, while others suggest that they come from the somites. Here, we investigated
the temporal development of meninges in birds and mice and found they
form at comparable stages. We investigated the origin of avian spinal meninges
using chick/quail cell tracing protocols and found they do not develop from
the somites as previously thought. We propose that meningeal epithelial blood
vessels may have been mistaken as meninges and led to an erroneous conclusion
by previous investigators. We present data that show that avian spinal meninges
originated from the neural crest supported by data demonstrating that
they express the neural crest marker HNK1. Finally using the Wnt1-Cre mouse
we show that trunk meninges of mammals also originate from neural crest.

value:
All living organisms and many of their parts are organised in an essentially similar
manner: they are closed cavitary bodies consisting of 1) the inner mass and
2) a relatively thin sheath enclosing it. This organisation allows living bodies
to change shape by employing hydrostatic forces. These forces are generally
recognised to govern changes of shape in walled cells. To explain transformations
of other organisms, other factors are usually sought. In this paper, the
hydrostatic mechanism is represented as a universal mode of shape formation.
It acts in all kinds of organisms, determining the course of diverse processes
such as development of cell outgrowths, limb buds, gut derivatives and sense
organs; endocytosis; cell division; branching of capillaries; gastrulation; cell locomotion;
muscle contraction etc.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The aim of this paper is evaluation of carbon stocks in the soils of the Lena River
Delta by two methods: “dry combustion” and Tyurin’s methods, as well as their
comparison. This work presents methodical aspect and data on the estimation
of organic carbon stocks in the soils of the Lena River Delta. Here we show that
the data on the content of organic carbon based on dichromate oxidation by
Tyurin’s method differed significantly from the actual carbon content of organic
substances, derived from application of “dry combustion” method based on
direct accounting of emitted CO2 from soils it uses of chromatography techniques.
Due to this difference, the application of Tyurin’s method can lead to
incorrect estimate of carbon stocks in the soil. This knowledge is very important
for correct estimation of soil ecological functions related to stabilization of organic
matter.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Mineralogical, geochemical, and granulometric characteristics of bottom sediments of the Dead Sea
and Crimean salt lakes are analyzed to identify geological and anthropogenic aspects affecting their
composition. Regional geological conditions determine a significantly sulphate mineral-salt type and
chemical composition of peloids of Crimean salt lakes, and chloride-carbonate mineral-salt type and
chlorine-calcium composition of the Dead Sea peloids. Local geological factors influence the geochemical
and particle size characteristics of peloids: composition and geochemical specialization of
surrounding rocks provide a Cu—Rb—Zn—Mo—Ca—Cl association in peloids of the Dead Sea and
Fe—V—Mn—Co—Y—Pb association in the mud of some Crimean lakes and bedding conditions of
the mud layer affect the granulometric characteristics of peloids.
The anthropogenic impact is manifested in the characteristics of peloids in some salt lakes of the
Crimea. Extremely low contents of salts (halite) and salt-forming elements (Cl, S) in the mud of Lake
Kuchuk-Adzhigol is caused by its pollution and man-made wastewater. Coarse particle size of peloids
of Saki Lake is caused by long-term use of mud sediments. The development of an iron ore mine and
factory near Lake Tobechik led to the industrial pollution of the lake mud by arsenic, manganese and
iron. Refs 23. Figs 8. Tables 1.

The article discusses in detail the possibility of using the Pb-Pb method to date Neoproterzoic carbonates.
The Pb-Pb method has been used to date the limestone of the Agarin-gol Formation. The
U-Pb system was studied in carbonate samples which conformed to the geochemical criteria of retention
(Mg/Ca, Mn/Sr, Fe/Sr and 87Sr/86Sr) and have undergone a step-dissolution procedure. In
206Pb/204Pb—207Pb/204Pb coordinates, the age of the Agarin-gol limestone is to 621±93 Ma, MSWD=1.3.
This age is consistent with the Ediacaran age established on the basis of the Sr isotope chemostratigraphy
(87Sr/86Sr = 0.70740–0.70748). New data allows for the specification of the sedimentation age of

value:
The spatial distribution of obligate dominant ant species, which includes four
species of the genus Formica: F. exsecta, F. lugubris, F. aquilonia and F. uralensis,
and differentiation of multispecies settlements has been studied in the eastern
Kuzokotsky Peninsula (northern Karelia, Russia). F. exsecta and F. lugubris were
present in remote single colonies, groups of two or three nests, single-species
complexes of no more than ten nests, or larger multispecies settlements. F. aquilonia
formed a small complex within one of the multispecies settlements. The
nests of F. uralensis were single. Significant preference of F. exsecta to aggregate
with F. lugubris was revealed in two permanent multispecies settlements; such
a preference is atypical for these species in other areas. The nests of F. aquilonia
were aggregated only with the nests of their own species. Presumably, the settlement
of F. lugubris was facilitated by capturing the active nests of F. exsecta.
This is confirmed by the reported case of capture of one F. exsecta nest by an
adjacent colony of F. lugubris, as well as by similar cases repeatedly described
by other authors. The change of the host species did not violate the spatial
structure of the settlement. Thus, a unique structure of settlements of obligate
dominant ant species with complicated interactions among them has been described
in northern Karelia.

dc.description.abstract

value: The role of orthographic neighbors (e.g. bank—tank) in word processing has been discussed in many experimental studies. However, these studies have been conducted on a limited pool of languages, and many important questions are still unresolved. After creating a lexical database StimulStat that contains various neighborhood parameters for Russian, we conducted the  rst experiment with substitution neighbors in Russian. We used lexical decision task with priming, and manipulated the following factors: whether the prime is more or less frequent than the target, whether the prime is a nominative singular (primary) form or an oblique form, and whether the substituted letter is word- nal or in the middle of the word. The results sug- gest that noun forms undergo morphological decomposition at a very early stage and shed new light on the process of activating candidates during lexical. The results also have practical signi cance because it is well known that spelling errors are in uenced by neighborhood e ects

dc.description.abstract

value:
Despite increased interest in non-classical Latin, even today little information about Neo-Latin literature
from Eastern Central and Eastern Europe reaches the international scientific community. This concerns
also Nicolaus Hussovianus’ “Poem on Bison” (publ. 1523) which is claimed by several ‘heirs’ of the Polish-
Lithuanian Commonwealth simultaneously as part of their national literature and has become a key text of
the Belarusian Renaissance. In addition to the overview of editions and research literature in Polish, Belarusian,
Russian and others, the article embarks upon a traditional search for influences-and-references from
an alternative methodological stance. Instead of just localizing (more or less plausible) quotes and allusions,
it asks for the meaning and function which the references acquire in the new surroundings. Intertextual
links to Virgil’s “Georgica” and “Bucolica”, which propagate the ideal of returning to a primordial way of life
in a rural idyll, as well as Tacitus’ “Germania”, with its image of the ‘alien’ Germans implying the deficiencies
of contemporary Romans, contribute important semantic layers to Hussovianus’ text. The intertextual links
embody a reformist desire, which is closely related to the text’s pragmatic intentions. “Carmen de bisonte”
is actually much more than just an “original and authentic” description of Belarusian (or Polish, or Lithuanian)
beasts, woods and customs. Refs 57.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In analyzing the shortcomings of the so called ‘classical system’ that led to its actual destruction
in the abandonment of the obligatory final examinations in Greek (1903), the author makes use of the
representation of public opinion in the liberal journal Russian Wealth (Russkoe Bogatstvo). It is more or
less well known that a formal approach to teaching as well as the compulsory character of the classical
education, together with limitations on educational opportunities for talented youth caused the collapse
of the classical gymnasium in pre-revolutionary Russia. But how, precisely, did this happen? The statistical
material provided by N. F. Annenskii and the lively sketches by V. G. Korolenko, as well as the impartial
detailed reports and eyewitness testimonies published by a popular periodical allow us to perceive the
immediate causes of the catastrophe. Fatal for classical education in schools was hatred of the government,
resulting in the teachers’ sympathy for weak school graduates. The latter passed the final exams with low
results and flooded the universities in 1899. This was at the bottom of the students’ disturbances of 1901 and
resulted in the triumphal fall of the educational edifice built in 1871 by count D. A. Tolstoy. Refs 29.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In Apul. Met. 1, 1, 5 exotici ac forensi<s> sermonis the word forensis means ‘foreign’ and not ‘belonging
to the forum’. The former is required by the context: two coordinate adjectives linked with ac should convey a
sense of similarity. The arguments raised against it are unfounded: (1) elsewhere in Apuleius the word refers
to the forum — but in Met. 4, 13, 6 forensis was convincingly defended in the sense of ‘foreign’ by Armini;
(2) the meaning ‘foreign’ is not attested until the end of the 4th century, i.e. 200 years after Apuleius — but
a number of lexical units that first occur in the Metamorphoses are attested later only from the 4th century
on; (3) its derivation from foris suggests a vulgar colloquialism — but the word was used in the sense of
‘being out of doors’ by Colum. XII praef. 4. Recent attempts to explain the word in both meanings at once
are implausible: the idea of ‘the style of the Roman forum’ (from which the narrator deviates) is far-fetched,
and it seems impossible to cram this sense into the perfectly clear pair of synonyms ‘coming from abroad
and foreign’. Refs 45.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Starting from the second part of the 3rd century A.D., a wide range of sources testifies to individual
covenants which Christian ascetics or ascetic communities made with God. As it seems, at least three
independent covenant traditions existed in Upper and Lower Egypt as well as in Syria/Mesopotamia. The
function of those covenants was to provide theological basis for proto-monastic and early monastic groups
appearing in those regions. Thus, the ascetic covenant theology seems to be one of the central ideas of the
early monastic movement in its two most important centers — Syria and Egypt. Despite possible tensions
with early Christian understanding of Church as New Israel being in a New Covenant with God, we do not
have evidence that ascetic covenanters were opposing themselves to the Church. The rise of the covenant
theology might have had to do with the so-called crisis of the 3rd century. Refs 66.

To take the passage Tac. Dial. 39, 1 at face value would mean to assume that in the second half
of the 1stcentury CE Roman orators would either be ordered to or habitually prefer to appear in court
not in togae, but clad in paenulae cloaks. Such an assumption seems, nevertheless, to have no feet of its
own, for a paenula is an item of distinctly casual clothing, and Quintilian, who discusses the outfit of an
orator at length in Inst. 11, 3, 137–49, never mentions it. In this article, I suggest understanding paenulae
istae metaphorically: the court cases were no longer argued in the openness of the forum, but were brought
under an airtight bureaucratic roof, which is the main concern throughout chapter 39. These novelties are,
like paenulae, arresting movement, they are the ‘strait jackets’ of contemporary eloquence. It may be further
supposed that Tacitus had a schoolroom favourite on his mind — Cicero’s Pro Milone 54. Refs 30.

value:
The article is dedicated to the interpretation of Soph. Ant. 471–2. The main problems posed by these
verses are the meaning of the epithet ὠμός, the ambiguous reference to Oedipus and the comparison of
Antigone to him. Basing on lexicological analysis and interpretation of the context, the author rejects the
understanding of ὠμός as “savage, uncivilized” which became popular in the last decades. Meanwhile, the
author assumes that this extravagant explanation has diagnostic value, and supposes that we cannot fully
understand the meaning of these lines, since we do not possess the tragedy they refer to. The author explains
these verses as a reference to the lost Aeschylus’ Oedipus. In this case, the ὠμότης of Oedipus referred to
consists in his curse on his sons, who, according to the testimonies of Aeschylus’ Septem and the Scholia to
Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus, refused to provide proper maintenance for him when he found himself in
helpless state in their care. The author prefers this interpretation of Sept. 778–87 to the alternative one, which
understands τροφή not as “care, maintenance”, but as “origin”. Refs 47.

medieval scholia on Homer styled as commentaria perpetua. This is done by presenting in a chronological
order all the incomplete Homeric commentaries at the time of Eustathius (12th c.) and after that. Secondly,
a brief survey of the first editions of Parekbolai and their reflections in European science from the end of
the Byzantine period till the 18th century is attempted. Lastly, the attention is focused on the reception of
Eustathius in the work of the great Greek humanist scholar Adamantios Korais who recognized the didactic
value of the philological commentaries on Homer for the patriotic Greek youth. Refs 41.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The subject of this short study is a legend that describes the transfer of a statue of Juno Regina, the
patron goddess of Veii, to Rome in 396 BCE, shortly after the fall of the Etruscan city to the Roman forces led
by Camillus. The legend is commonly interpreted as a depiction of evocatio, a ritual meant to convince the
tutelary deities of a beseiged city to support the Romans. However, none of the multiple known accounts of
the statue’s transfer (the principal of which is provided by Livy) present it as a part of a ritual. The article aims
to examine the validity of such a connection by closely comparing the events of the legend, their timing,
and their nature to the ancient accounts of evocatio. Following this, a comparison is made to two other
legends, preserved by Herodotus and Athenaeus (his source is Menodotus), both of which describe miracles
displayed by the images of gods in response to the attempts to move them. On the basis of this comparison
it is concluded that the legend of the transfer of Juno Regina is not meant to depict a particular ritual and
has emerged merely to provide an explanation of the fact that the ancient Etruscan image has found its place
in Rome. Refs 7.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses a passage from the “Cento nuptialis” by Ausonius where he comments upon cento
technique and specifies the maximum length of a continuous quotation from the original text of Vergil.
The meaning of the MSS reading et sequens cum medio is not very sound, and the author considers three
proposed additions and alterations: Th. Mommsen’s et sequens <medius> cum medio (1883); L. Villani’s
et sequens. Сum medio (1898); and R. Green’s unus <et unus> sequenti cum medio (1991). For better
examination of these corrections, it seemed important to look at Ausonius’ own poetical practice in the
“Cento nuptialis” and to compare it with two longest preserved Latin Vergilian centos: the tragedy “Medea”
by Hosidius Geta (end of the 2nd century) and the “Cento Vergilianus de laudibus Christi” by Faltonia Proba
(mid-4th century). In spite of some differences, all three centones show a similar tendency in the employment
of the most frequent arrangements: two independent half-lines,1 independent hexametrical lines or one
half-line accompanied by the following half-line in the next verse. The author believes that this can clarify
the meaning of unus in Ausonius’ passage in question. Refs 18.

value:
The author focuses his analysis on the sacrifice of an ewe lamb and/or a buckling mentioned in the
problematic locus of Horace. He notices that the expression agna sive haedo occurs only twice in Latin
literature. Both times it is used by Horace (which probably explains the dark Servius auctus’ comment to the
similar usage by Virgil, Aen. 8, 641). Basing on different ancient sources and secondary literature, the author
comes to conclusion that the usage of agna with haedus in the sacrifice in honor of Faunus, notwithstanding
the Roman custom, which prescribed male victims for male gods, relates to the poetic language of Horace.
This explanation virtually differs from that proposed by R. G. M. Nisbet and M. Hubbard, who tend to explain
this double sacrifice by the Greek tradition of sacrificial offering to Priapus. Supporting his conclusion the
author also reveals that in certain cases Romans did sacrifice female victims to male gods, especially in the
official cult (hostia honoraria). Refs 7.

The paper deals with an oddity in Latin morphology: the fact that a number of nouns (margō, ōrdō,
cardō, homō and nēmō), in spite of being masculine, have, contrary to the general tendency, the G. S. in
-inis instead of -ōnis. Some of the nouns (margō, ōrdō, cardō), unlike the other masculine nouns, retained
their original G. S. form in -inis (which traces back to Old Latin *-ones) presumably due to analogy with
the large group of feminine nouns in -dō, -gō because they have the same consonant at the end of stem. The
G. S. of another exception, homō, is explained by analogy with the neuter nouns of the type nomen, nominis.
The author also argues that the majority of G. S.-ōnis of feminina abstracta in -iō (type nātiō, -ōnis) can be
explained phonologically without referring to their gender. Refs 8.

In a letter allegedly written by Thales to Pherekydes, which is contained in the ‘life of Thales’
by Diogenes Laertius, the reader comes across a peculiar differentiation between two kinds of sages:
Philosophers who travel the world but barely write anything down, thus resembling modern-day tourists,
as opposed to philosophers who are devoted to their writings, yet do not travel at all. Could it be, that
movement, i.e. travelling and wandering, is not compatible with being a true philosopher after all, as
suggested by Silvia Montiglio? By revisiting the relevant paragraphs this note aims to examine whether this
postulated irreconcilability has anything to do with the differentiation presented in the letter of Thales. A
closer analysis of the text suggests that the underlying idea of this passage consists of two different concepts
of theoria: a more traditional theoria, a journey in pursuit of knowledge, in contrast to a philosophical
theoria, appropriated and transformed by Greek philosophers in the fourth century. Refs 8.

title: ON PARADOXES OF THE DANISH TEMPORAL PREPOSITIONS AND THEIR PERCEPTIVE EXPLANATION

dc.description.abstract

value:
This study, on the one hand, pursues a practical objective, namely to assist Danish
language learners in understanding and acquiring some peculiarities of prepositional
representations for temporal meanings that can seem odd for native speakers of
Russian. On the other hand, it pursues a theoretical objective within the framework
of cognitive anthropocentric approach, namely to elicit and to describe the perceptual
mechanisms for grammatical categorization in a specific language.
By the perceptual mechanisms for temporal categorization we mean the process
of human perception of a present situation — its visual recollection in the past and
its visual constructs in the future — as being reflected in specific linguistic forms of a
certain language culture.
The article discusses some specifics of temporal orientation reflected in Danish
prepositions denoting time-related meanings. The latter include: the spatial lexeme of
frontal orientation for denoting ‘past time’ (fortid); lexeme of lateral orientation siden
localizing past events; asymmetrical lexemes (i vs. på, til) localizing past vs. future
events, correspondingly; lexemes (efter vs. for) denoting different spatial orientation of
similar temporal sequences. The article offers systemic explanation of above paradoxes
on the basis of such perception-related meanings as special orientation of a temporal
event in relation to the observer; the observer’s internal or external perspective; the
observer’s distance from the observed event. The observer’s position is considered thus
to be the starting point of subjective orientation in any language and therefore the basis
of grammatical categorization.

title: NORMANIST IDEAS IN PETRUS PETREIUS’ WORKS

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper focuses on two most important historiographic works of Petrus Petreius, a
Swedish delegate in the Grand Duchy of Moscow during the Time of Troubles at the
beginning of the 17th century: Fair and True Relation… (1608) and Regni Muschowitici
sciographia (1614–1615). Some researchers consider Petreius as being the first
Normanist and claim he connected the theory of the Scandinavian origin of Varangians
with official Swedish foreign policy. Analysis of Petreius’ texts shows that his works
were directed especially against Polish Catholics and the Polish king Sigismund III
Vasa, who was the prime rival of the Swedish king at that time. The first of the analysed texts Fair and True Relation… deals with this matter by describing Russia and its
inhabitants as an unfortunate neighbour in danger and in need of help. Nevertheless,
it doesn’t mention Varangians or anything from early Russian history at all. On the
other hand, in two places within the voluminous Regni Muschowitici sciographia, he
describes several theories about the origin of Varangians, yet most of them have proved
not to be original but copied from other sources, of which Petreius’ largest work have
been compiled (mostly from Rerum Moscoviticarum Commentarii by Siegmund von
Herberstein). Petreius can possibly be considered a Normanist, but not very decided
one and definitely not the first one. His main contribution today seems being mainly
educational, as he was the first to promote the propagation of Russian language and
culture in Sweden.

dc.description.abstract

value:
H. C. Andersen’s fairy tales and stories won universal recognition in the literary circles
as well as among the public at large in Russia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. Though novels, poems and letters of the Danish writer were published
in Russia, it was the tales that attracted the attention of the readers and translators.
They were appreciated for expressing the ideas of humanism in perfect literary
form. H. C. Andersen’s tales were translated many times, ran into a huge number of
editions. They were often discussed in the press. This occurred against the backdrop
of an unprecedented interest in myths and fairy tales on the one hand and in Nordic
literature on the other. The end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century were key
periods for the future perception of H. C. Andersen in Russia. It was during this period
that the Danish writer underwent the process of cultural adaptation and became a part
of Russian cultural space. It was then that the interest in the artistic and psychological
dimensions of his art emerged. Multiple examples of this can be found in many of
the literary and epistolary writings of the time, in the art critique and pedagogical
literature. The creative achievements of translations of the period should also not be
underestimated.

dc.description.abstract

value:
There are numerous facts that demonstrate the interest of Dutch writers in the social
and political ideas of the Russian intelligentsia at the turn of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. The focus of this article is the poetic work of the two communist
poets: Herman Gorter (1864–1927) and Henriette Roland Holst (1869–1952).
Both poets occupy an important place in the history of Dutch literature, both came
to Marxism as a result of overcoming the personal crisis, in search of a way out of
the impasse of individualism. Both poets were Lenin’s comrades in the international
social-democratic movement before 1917, then in the Communist International.
Lenin corresponded with both poets and communicated with them personally: Lenin’s
letters of 1915 and 1916, addressed to Gorter and Roland Holst, show their ideological
unity and close cooperation. Both Dutch communist poets continued to write lyrical
verses also during the period of political activity. Reading these lyrics allows us to look
into their inner world and to understand exactly how these two representatives of the
European socialists and communists saw the revolution, to what ideals they aspired.
It turns out that their ideals were completely abstract: the poets admire the harmony
between the liberated working class and the music of nature, both often depict the
proletariat, who won the revolution, as dancing a round dance. The lives of real people
were in no way their starting point.

title: SWEDISH COMPOUND WORDS WITH AN INTENSIFYING FIRST COMPONENT AND TECHNIQUES OF THEIR TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN

dc.contributor.author

value: Zhiltsova, Elena

dc.description.abstract

value:
Colloquial Swedish often contains compound words, whose first components partly
or completely lose their main lexical meaning and in some cases play a role of an
intensifier. The first components of such words usually are nouns such as jätte, topp,
sten, kanon, bomb, skit and some others. These words don’t have analogues in Russian
and thus they cannot be translated as compounds and the translator must resort to
other lexical means.
The status of a word is determined by its part of speech and by the first component’s
degree of de-sematization. The first component of a noun usually preserves its lexical
meaning to a certain extent and performs the function of the attribute by the second
component. That gives to the whole word a vivid and expressive complexion. Such
words can be regarded as compounds, the more so that they are translated into Russian
as a combination of adjective and noun, like most other Swedish compounds.
The first components in adjectives and adverbs are very often subject to desemantization.
Their function is purely intensifying, so that they point out a higher
intensity of a feature denoted by the second component. Thus, the first component of
these words plays the role of an intensifying prefix, so they are unlikely to be regarded
as compounds. This point of view is also proved by the fact that such words are
mostly translated into Russian as one expressive adverb or adjective, but not as word
combinations, like nouns.

value: Krasnova, Elena

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with copulative compounds that deserve consideration in spite of
representing a relatively small group in modern Danish. Being in a kind of opposition to determinative compounds, copulative compounds explicate coordinative relations
between components denoting phenomena, things, qualities, properties, or actions,
while their lexical meaning is determined equally by the semantics of the two
components. Copulative compounds in Danish are characterized by athematic
connection of stems, joint or hyphenated spelling (spelling with a slash is also possible),
and either equally stressed components or the main stress on the second component
with the secondary stress on the first component. Copulative nouns and adjectives are
most frequent, while copulative verbs, adverbs, and numerals are few in numbers. The
study of the usage of coordinative compounds in the Corpus of the Danish language
and in mass-media reveals a tendency of their use not independently, but as the first
component of a determinative compound, which demonstrates a “strive” towards
this type, prevailing in Danish (mor-datter-forhold, mor-datter-relationer). Many of
copulative compounds become “fashionable” and create whole rows by way of analogy,
partly under the influence of English. The viability of this model is proved by extensive
use of such compounds in pedagogy, psychology, business, advertizing and others as
well as by creation of individual-speech compounds according to the model. The study
of peculiarities in formation of coordinative compounds helps to build a complete
picture of word composition in Danish.

title: TRAVELING COMPANIONS: BICENTENARY LITERARY ADAPTATIONS OF H. C. ANDERSEN TALES

dc.contributor.author

value: Jessup, Rennesa

dc.description.abstract

value:
Adaptation is broadly defined, encompassing the re-working of virtually any
kind of text into virtually any other kind of text. Moreover, it frequently involves
the re-mediation of texts into entirely new forms. Even so, seemingly simple text-totext
adaptation of texts already frequently subject to adaptation can challenge both
traditional and theoretical concepts of adaptation. Such was the case with a major
Danish literary project undertaken in 2005.
Danish State Railways, Dansk statsbaner (DSB) commissioned a series of
adaptations of Hans Christian Andersen tales to be published in the DSB onboard
magazine Ud & Se [Out & See] to commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of
H. C. Andersen’s birth. Resulting from the project were twelve original stories by twelve
Danish authors: Pia Juul, Jan Sonnergaard, Ib Michael, Iselin Hermann, Preben Major
Sørensen, Suzanne Brøgger, Bent Vinn Nielsen, Peter Laugesen, Kristian Ditlev Jensen,
Lars Frost, Erling Jepsen, and Naja Marie Aidt. Each author adapted a different Andersen
work, ranging from classics including “Den grimme ælling” [The Ugly Duckling], “Den
lille havfrue” [The Little Mermaid], and “Kejserens nye klæder” [The Emperor’s New
Clothes], to more obscure works such as “Dandse, dandse dukke min!” [Dance, Dance,
My Doll!]. Issued in book form as Reisekammeraten og andre H. C. Andersen-historier
i nye klæder [The Traveling Companion and Other H. C. Andersen Tales in New
Clothes] (Copenhagen, 2005), the collection demonstrates a wide range of approaches
to adaptation that seem to stretch the definition of adaptation to its limits.

title: OMISSION OF THE ARTICLE BEFORE PREDICATIVE NOUNS FOR PROFESSION, OCCUPATION ETC. IN NORWEGIAN

dc.contributor.author

value: Vorobyeva, Evgenia

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper considers reasons for omission of the indefinite article with predicative nouns
for profession, occupation, nationality and others in the Norwegian language. There
is a rule in Norwegian grammar prescribing the omission of the indefinite article in
sentences of the following type: Tor er norsklærer. — ‘Tor is a teacher of Norwegian’.
Though, reference books on Norwegian grammar do not provide any explanation
for this phenomenon. These types of nouns are analyzed in terms of the relationship
between their meaning and denotation, i.e. if they belong to identifying nouns (rigid
designators) or predicative nouns (non-rigid, or flaccid designators). Typical rigid
designators are proper names and nouns for natural objects like lemon, tiger, gold etc.
A typical flaccid designator is student — this noun denotes a class that an object can
either belong or not belong to. The semantic opposition of those two types of designators
is reflected in their functions: flaccid designators can take predicative positions,
while rigid designators can only be used to denote an object or a class of objects. A conclusion
is made, that those nouns are flexible designators, and as such designators, in
a predicative position they rather represent an object’s feature than an object itself, and
consequently, the use of article is not needed. This conclusion can be used for contrastive
studies for English language which requires an indefinite article in sentences of
a similar type. Further, the nouns in question are shown as capable of being rigid designators
and therefore take the positions of a sentence’s subject or taxonomic predicate.

title: A POSTSYMBOLIST’S ODE. THE ‘METAPHORICAL REALISM’ OF KAREL VAN DE WOESTIJNE

dc.contributor.author

value: Vandevoorde, Hans

dc.description.abstract

value:
The Flemish poet Karel van de Woestijne (Ghent 1878–1929) is part of the reaction
to symbolism in the form of post symbolism. In her book on post-symbolism, The
Fiction of the Poet, Anna Balakian sees that development especially in the area of the
symbol: “What strikes me in the progression of the symbolist mode is the passage from
allegory (unilateral correspondences) to symbol, from metaphoric closing to the openended
metonymy, and finally to the evocative power discovered in the single word
serving as a prism for associations and significances.” My contribution, however, shows that allegory and symbol do not exclude each other. Van de Woestijne’s affinity with
post-symbolism is revealed first of all in a strong accent on ‘life’ in combination with
a mystical sensitivity and then later in a kind of imagery which is no longer simply
symbolic or allegorical, but can be defined as open and closed at the same time. I shall
demonstrate this using the example of one of the odes from his book of poetry Tired
Heart (1924), which demonstrates Van de Woestijne’s metaphorical realism: the
realistic description at the beginning of the poem turns to be an extended metaphor
(allegory) that must be read symbolically. By using abstractions and the further, bold
(metonymical) elaboration of the central images of house and light, the poem suddenly
gains radical openness and unexpected modernity.

title: THE SNOW QUEEN IN THE ANTHOLOGY OF RUSSIAN ALIEN FAIRY TALES: AN OLD STORY IN A NEW WORLD

value: Pilipoveca, Tatjana

dc.description.abstract

value:
Classical fairy tales exist in contemporary popular culture in different variants.
They are quoted and reworked in TV shows, theatrical performances, video games,
memes and different literary texts. The interest into old, well-known fairy tales is
commonly explained by the omnipresent love of wonder and the eternal relevance
of these stories. However, a careful study can reveal that contemporary adaptations
question precisely the relevance of concrete canonical fables and the relevance of fairy
tale as a phenomenon.
In this article we are going to analyze Russian interpretations of Hans Christian
Andersen’s story The Snow Queen in the anthology of Russian Alien Fairy Tales. The
Snow Queen, first published by Hans Christian Andersen in 1844, which was initially
translated into the Russian language in 1863. It has ever since remained one of the most
cherished fairytale plots of the Russian audience. There are canonical interpretations of
this Danish text in Russian poetry, cinematography and theater. Our interest lies on the
contemporary short prose that belongs to popular culture and could be considered as a
manifestation of the current literary process.

title: RECENT SWEDISH AND NORWEGIAN BIBLE TRANSLATIONS: A TENTATIVE GRAMMATICAL ANALYSIS

dc.contributor.author

value: Livanova, Aleksandra

value: Grigoryeva, Yuliana

dc.description.abstract

value:
At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, new translations of the Bible were published in
continental Scandinavia. Emergence of these translations is associated with a number of factors: the development of the languages, the evolution of translation studies,
textology, and exegetics, and the discovery of previously unknown texts. Two recent
translations (Sweden, 2000; Norway, 2011) display an innovative approach to the
work, combining the contributions of translators, theologians, and stylists. This article
considers similarities and differences of the development of the two closely related
languages that were revealed from analysis of the translations of the Gospel of Mark.
Teams of specialists in various fields worked on bringing the linguistic design of
the new texts of the Bible close to the existing written language norm. In linguistic
studies of biblical texts and their translations, attention is traditionally given to
lexical and phraseological aspects. In contrast to this approach the article discusses
the grammatical decisions made in this process. Both morphological categories
(grammatical gender, case and verb forms) and syntactic features of translations
(sentence length and its structure, textual cohesion) are reviewed in the article. Our
research made it possible to identify general trends in the development of Norwegian
and Swedish languages (convergence of written and spoken language, elimination of
long and complex sentences) as well as divergence in direction of their changes (use of
possessive pronouns and constructions) and speed of the changes (loss of case).

title: FUNCTIONAL-GRAMMATICAL FEATURES OF THE SWEDISH INFINITIVE

dc.contributor.author

value: Chekalina, Elena

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses functional-grammatical features of the morphology and syntax of
the infinitive which is the most obvious verbum infinitum in the Swedish verb paradigm.
The suggested interpretation argues that the traditional distinction of Swedish
grammars between verbal and nominal functions of the infinitive can be replaced by
an opposition of infinitival functions proper and substantive-infinitival functions. The
infinitival function proper includes the use of the infinitive in verb chains (mostly as part
of the predicate), in adverbial circumlocutions with prepositions, as well as in syntactic
constructions with nexus (the object and the subject with the infinitive). In all cases
syntactic functions of the infinitive are realised on the sentential level.
The substantive-infinitival functions comprises the use of the infinitive in syntactic
positions of the grammatical subject: as the theme (topic) as well as the rheme (comment)
in the context of the formal subject det, the predicative (including the sentences
of equivalence with the infinitive in both parts of the subject-predicate structure),
a prepositional or prepositionless (direct and indirect) object, a postpositional noun
attribute (with direct adjunction or with prepositional syntactic connection). Whatever
the syntactic position of the substantive word, the analysis at the level of a full sentence
reveals functional-grammatical features of the infinitive as a non-predicate verb form.
Unlike the parts of sentence expressed by nominal parts of speech, the infinitive with
a preposition and without a preposition, depending on the type of syntactic connection,
which is determined by the valency either of the governing verb or of the substantive
word modified by it, is drawn into the verb chain, demonstrating at the same time
the features of the morphology and syntax of the verbum infinitum.
The special functional-grammatical features of the Swedish infinitive are determined
by the typological features of the grammatical system of the language in the
verb paradigm (the expression of grammatical semantics with agglutinative markers
and analytical forms and constructions) as well as in verb syntagmas (the expression of
syntactic connection between words by use of adjunction or prepositional connection).

value: The paper focuses on relevant problem, which business schools all over the world face and which is connected with the necessity to include concepts and instruments of strategic management valuable for the managers into the syllabus of the courses. In order to solve this problem it is necessary to define the requirements and expectations of the managers studying in business schools. The purpose of this paper is to determine the existing conformity of strategic management course syllabus and the Russian managers’ perception of competitive advantage sources and the process of strategic management. During the empirical study a survey with the participants of the Executive MBA program (in one of the leading business schools in Russia) has been conducted. The aim of it is to reveal the expectations towards syllabus of “Strategic management” course. The results of the analysis indicate that managers link the sources of competitive advantage with better position of the company in the external environment, that leads to greater interest in learning strategic tools which are appropriate for its detecting. The findings raise serious challenges for strategic management teaching and put into question the usefulness of proactive development of competences in strategic management education.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article is based on the review and analysis of 147 academic publications of Russian and foreign authors which discuss the impact of various factors on talent management in organizations. Talent management is seen as the ability of an organization to attract, select, deploy, develop, and retain employees who make the most important contribution to a company’s performance. The article includes the classifications of groups of factors and analysis of relationships between factors at various levels (global, national, industry, organisational, individual) and the elements of a talent management system. Conducting a content analysis of the selected publications the authors apply a system approach to talent in its contextual version. The results of an analysis demonstrate a state of art in the knowledge of talent management context. External factors have a greater impact on the strategic components and practices of managing the “entrance” of talents into the organization. The most frequently mentioned organizational factor is corporate culture and corporate values that influence philosophy, attraction and selection, evaluation and retention of talents. Values of talent have turned out to be an important individual factor influencing the definition of talent in the company and all practices of talent management. The perception of these practices by the talents themselves and other employees of the organization could be of the same significant for all practices of talent management. The aspects of a contextual approach to talent management, which have not received yet the expanded coverage in the literature have been identified. They are considered as the directions for future research.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper analyzes global trading clusters to understand the effects of the BRICS economic rise for the international trading system and the WTO. The BRICS dominate without doubt their regions in economic and trade figures, as well as compete with — and in the case of China even overtake — the G7-states on the global level. But do the BRICS share a common approach for international trade, which they could promote as an alternative order or challenge to the current international trading system? So far the consequences of the BRICS-rising for international trade structures, multilateral negotiations and the WTO remain uncertain.
This paper argues on the basis of cluster analysis, that — due to their respective trade patterns — the rise of the BRICS will not lead to major changes inside the WTO. By testing emerging economies on different trade variables, the paper shows the challenges for BRICS cooperation in international trade and reveals also false assumptions in the respective literature. The differences between emerging economies are sometimes much bigger than assumed, which makes cooperation rather complicated and complex. The paper concludes that the WTO remains in its current form the most important trade governance institution for emerging economies, because the divergence in their trade patterns hinders emerging economies to challenge the current system with an alternative approach.

After recalling quickly the origin of credit rating agencies, their initial atomistic structure, their evolution in oligopoly, and their changing economic model from the investor-pays model to the issuer-pays model, we study the emergence of non-financial agencies, related to sustainable development. We also find that more and more financial support agencies are questionable foreign policies. This fact gave rise to Russian and Chinese agencies, which have different approaches to the markets, and we wonder if it is possible to have more justice and more balance in the increasingly important notation local financial entities, national and international. To present these analyses, we use the institutional and neo-institutional theories, as well as the theory of context, and that of mimetic desire.

This article analyzes the forces that stimulate and ensure the development of competition at the micro level of the economy. Promotion of competition is interpreted as a resolution of the contradiction, which manifests as the struggle between heredity, ensuring the sustainability of a species and its variability.
There by it is concluded that the real generator of the evolution of competition is not a competitive rivalry. It is the change of the competitive conditions. The mechanism of action of the micro competition is that endogenous driver of change are the actions of the competitors, but their selection is exercised by the environment. The evolution of the micro competition demonstrates two trends.
One trend is broadening the field of competition and the intensification of the struggle. The other is the replacement of the open struggle by competition, which involves partnership and cooperation as a factor in gaining a competitive edge. This becomes the main feature of the development of micro competition.

value: The pilot study discussed in the paper aims to gain preliminary data for comparative analysis of consumer behavior of Russians aged 50+ living in megapolis and small towns. In order to meet the objective of the research, qualitative and quantitative techniques were combined. On the first stage of the field research, six focus groups were conducted in March 2016 in Moscow and Vladimir, to assess opinions of experts related to older people in Russia, as well as opinions of seniors themselves. Based on the analysis of the empirical data, consumer behavior of older age cohorts (aged 50+) was defined, as well as differences in the needs and preferences between seniors in Moscow and seniors of small cities in the Vladimir region. The pilot study has shown that there are differences in the consumer behavior of older Russians living in Moscow and in small towns of the Vladimir region. Seniors’ consumer behavior was described, the heterogeneity of this target audience was confirmed. The unmet demand for a number of goods and services for older consumers was revealed. This paper adds to the literature on consumer behavior by bringing new evidence and proposes new opportunities to create products and services for senior consumers.

dc.description.abstract

value: The practice of investment projects analysis in companies often does not comply with the theory’s recommendations; everywhere the companies add markups (risk premiums) to the fair return required by shareholders when calculating NPV of project. The size of the risk premium is chosen almost arbitrarily. The main goal of this paper is to propose the model that will help to explain the entering of specific risk premium to discount rate in NPV-rule and to calculate the size of this premium. We suppose that risk-averse managers make investment decision taking into account both the market risk and specific risk of the project. Based on the theory of decision-making under uncertainty, we introduce two new criteria for investment decisions and propose two behavioral models. Both models are dealing with a single isolated project and company that is entirely funded by equity capital. It is necessary to analyze which additional factors (debt, other projects, risk tolerance, competitive environment, availability of real options of the project) can affect the risk premium. The proposed models can be a methodological basis for investment decision making, but to use them in practice, it is necessary to evaluate correctly the level of a specific risk of the project. Although these behavioral models describe the decisions of managers but they can be applied to the analysis of investment decisions of capital owners.

The paper analyzes the formation process of the circular economy and of the related closed-loop supply chains within the framework of the transition towards a contemporary sustainable socio-economic development. It describes the role the circular economy plays in reducing resource use, waste production and environmental pollution as well as in contributing to significant economic and social progress. Furthermore, on one side, the attention is focused on barriers to the development of the circular economy in the Russian Federation. On the other side, in the paper the potentials to develop transition strategies to replace the current linear economic model by the circular one are provided. The study highlights the ways of how companies can organize their business to move from the linear model to a more sustainable one, also by the gradual implementation of closed-loop supply chains. Finally, the perspectives of the application of the circular economy principles in several branches and companies are characterized.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The investigation makes use of longitudinal data on the Russian labor market over 1998–2013 to explore the determinants of earnings. The Mincer’s equation includes experience or age, year of birth, period, among others factors. We use the index of real total wages calculated for each gender instead of period in the equation to separate the effects. The Heckman selection estimator is used in order to correct the selectivity bias. The results indicate that the on-the-job training and vocational retraining are effective ways of the accumulation of human capital. Investments in human capital provide a considerable growth of predicted earnings during the working life of people of both genders with secondary vocational or higher education. The transition to a market economy had resulted in the depreciation of a part of human capital accumulated in the Soviet economy. Workers failed to replace the skills devalued due to the transition with up-to-date ones during the post-transition period. As a result, predicted earnings of men and women born before 1970 are significantly lower than these of their younger colleagues, other things being equal.

value:
This article is devoted to the history of perestroika in the USSR. An appeal to this topic was the publication of the book by O. I. Ozherelyev. The author of this book, a former graduate of the Faculty of Economics of the Leningrad State University, in 1982-1984 was the dean of the faculty. In the following years, he was a member of the executive staff of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and in 1991 he was an assistant on economics of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev before his retirement.
Interest in the book is determined by the fact that its author was present at the epicenter of events that occurred during the years of perestroika. Therefore, his thoughts on the past period are useful for understanding the reasons for the mistakes made in the process of reforming the country's economy. The article analyzes the views of O. I. Ozherelyev and suggests their assessment. Special attention is paid to the importance of drawing appropriate conclusions that should help in the successful implementation of the current stage of reforming the Russian economy.

The enterprise architecture is a tool for the systemic description of functioning and principles
of the organization development. Initially, this tool was used in complex IT-projects to clarify
business requirements and design information systems and technical infrastructure. However,
since the beginning of the 2000s the enterprise’s architecture is increasingly used to support
organizational transformations and allows managers to integrate various development initiatives
among themselves, to translate the strategy into actions and to ensure the coherence of the
various elements of the enterprise. The article reviews the evolution of the concept “enterprise
architecture”, provides an overview of methods and tools for enterprise architecture management,
as well as describes the application of the enterprise architecture in managerial practices.

This study analyses employees search by companies. We focus on channels of search that companies use. Using original data of 2015 survey of 1799 Russian companies on HR we found out that the most popular channels were Internet and informal social connections (friends, co-workers, relatives).
State-owned companies use public employment agency while companies with foreign owners prefer formal channels (media ads, private employment agency). Also we don’t identify considerable influence of search costs on company’s choice of search channels. Companies in good financial shape use less channels of search. Interindustry differences are found insignificant.
