dc.description.abstract

value: High tech entrepreneurship which in most countries is characterized by regional heterogeneity is playing an increasing role in the digital economy. The paper presents the results of the analysis of regional differentiation applied to the current state in Russian high-tech business. The research was conducted with the help of official government regional statistics and empirical data on high tech companies’ performance which are provided by SPARK data base. It was demonstrated that high tech companies could be found in most regions. However, their number and productivity indicators differ significantly. We suggest estimating high tech business contribution to the regional economy by using a special location quotation. The idea of this instrument is to compare a share of high-tech companies’ turnover in the gross regional product with the similar indicator calculated for the national economy level. It was found that in most cases contribution of the high-tech sector to the regional economy is rather modest. Five groups of regions were formed basing on the meanings of the location quotation. Regions with a high level of contribution were included in the first group. Blocks of factors demonstrating the level of regional socio-economic environment development were determined at the next step of the research in order to analyze the influence of these blocks on the high tech sector. Measurable characteristics of these factors were selected and compared with respect to the groups of regions which had previously been identified. The results of the analysis show that the state of high-tech entrepreneurship is highly influenced by the research and innovative potential of the region. Russian regions were presented from the perspective of the two dimension system: “High tech business location quotation — Russian Regional Innovative Index”. This presentation made it possible to identify 15 regions where an innovative potential helps to create and effectively develop high tech companies which make a significant contribution to the local economy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The present contribution analyses Eastern Slavic (Ukrainian and Russian) fragmentary translations of Homer’s poems, as they appear in the historical and political writings of Maciej
Stryjkowski, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski and Justus Lipsius translated in Kiev, Moscow and
St. Petersburg from the early 17th century till the early 18th century. The author’s main interest
is in examining verse texts inserted in the prose narrative which were occasionally translated
in verse — a notable practice for a culture like Russian which did not develop written verse
till early 17th century. The study emphasizes various reasons for choosing the verse form for
translation (Homer as a historical source, a teacher in political rhetoric, a model intellectual as regards relations between the state and men of letters) and demonstrates that Eastern
Slavs had experience with adopting Homer into verse long before 1748, when the first Russian
fragmentary verse translation from Homer was published by Mikhail Lomonosov. The article
also focuses on the verse translations from Homer by Lomonosov included in his Rhetorics.
These are based on S.Clarke’s Latin translation from the bilingual Homer edition by J.G.Hager (1745). Translations which form the part of Maciej Stryjkowski’s Chronicle (1660–1670’s) and Justus Lipsius’ Monita et Exempla politica (1712–1722) are published for the first time,
accompanied with an analysis of their textual history

dc.description.abstract

value:
New Testament scholars have long argued that in Acts 17:16–34 Luke depicts Paul in such
a way as to evoke Socrates’ modus philosophandi and to echo his trial and apology. While
this argument can be based on sufficiently clear philological indications, there are other,
comparatively vague and more general Socratic reminiscences in Luke-Acts, e.  g. in the
Gethsemane episode which shows that for the Lukan Jesus death is not a terrifying prospect.
This study reads Luke’s portrayal of the apostle Peter through the lens of the exemplum Socratis
as presented by Greek and Roman intellectuals in the first and early second centuries CE,
including Dio Chrysostom, Epictetus, Plutarch, and Seneca. The author argues that the humble
origins of Peter, his non-academic profession, his poverty, his lack of formal education, and
his unbreakable commitment to obey God and to spread the Christian message in spite of the
threat of judges are reminiscent of major elements of the reception of Socrates in the period
that Luke-Acts was probably composed (c. 80–100  CE). Highlighting the subtle Socratic
components in Luke’s depiction of Peter not only helps to shed new light on Peter’s alleged lack
of education (Acts 4:13). It also helps to understand, firstly, how the literary depiction of early
Christian teaching figures is shaped by roughly contemporaneous philosophical discourses,
and secondly, that Peter’s literary image, although it presents a totally different type of teaching
figure than Paul, serves in its own way to exemplify the compatibility of the Christian religion
with particular strands of ancient philosophy

dc.description.abstract

value:
The perfect tense in Greek which is used to denote a state of affairs in the present as resulting
from a past action does not find an exact equivalent in the system of Latin tenses: when faced
with the need to express this idea a Latin speaker could either focus on the expression of the
state by using the present tense (whereby the connection with the past was not expressed and
would only be inferred), or use the perfect, in which case the effect of the past action on the
present was not directly expressed and could only be deduced (the so-called resultative perfect). The article analyses Latin speakers’ attitude to this difference between Greek and Latin
verbal systems, in particular, on the basis of the evidence collected from Roman epistolography when the letter-writer felt that the idea he wished to express could most aptly be rendered
by a Greek perfect and switched to the Greek solely for that perfect form. The corpus of texts
used for this study included the letters of Cicero to Atticus and his Epistulae ad Familiares, the
Letters of Pliny the Younger, Seneca’s Letters to Lucilius, excerpts of Augustus’ letters preserved
by Suetonius, and M.Cornelius Fronto’s correspondence with Marcus Aurelius.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Following the first edition of Manuel Álvares’ De institutione grammatica libri tres (Lisbon,
1572), the Portuguese text  tradition of the celebrated grammar was completed with the
1573 pupil’s manual. Both the precise number of editions that appeared thereafter and what in
a distant future might be developed into a stemma editionum remain unknown. In the context
of ongoing bibliographic research, the present article offers an outlook on the beginnings of
Alvaresian grammar in late 16th-century Europe by means of a presentation of how the grammars’ national text traditions emerged in Czech, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish
and Spanish editions. Álvares’ grammar started to take on divergent national forms since its
first publication for the purposes of the Bavarian Jesuit University of Dillingen, in which the
volumes were distributed according to the official syllabus, thus moving beyond the division
between teacher’s manual and pupil’s manual made by the author. Even though the more comprehensive ars maior also appeared in German and Italian editions, in the late 16th century the
ars minor became particularly important due to its editions in France, Italy and Spain. There
also appeared the Czech variant of the ars minor as well as the Lithuanian and Polish partial editions, whose textual constitution seems to correspond to the requirements of the respective
syllabi.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Heraclides of Pontus, a versatile philosopher whose work still remains largely unexplored,
wrote several pieces on Homer including “Solutions of the Homeric problems”, to which some
of the extant fragments are attributed. One of these (F. 171 Wehrli = 99 Schütrumpf) concerns
the Iliad and the Odyssey being discrepant in the number of the cities on Crete: the Catalogue
of Ships refers to the island as ἑκατόμπολιν (Il. 2.649) while Odysseus in his ‘Cretan Lies’
states that people dwell ninety great cities on Crete (Od. 19.174). To explain this inconsistency,
Heraclides tells a dramatic story about Idomeneus which he probably made up himself, being
an eminent author of dialogues and even tragedies (provided that the relevant testimonies are
reliable) with an interest in mythology. His version of Idomeneus’ homecoming was not supported by contemporary historians, and, although later picked up by some poets and scholars,
did not end up as a part of the commonplace Idomeneus tradition as we know it today.

This article discusses an intriguing text  in Stobaeus’ Ecl. 1.25.3i about the sun’s movement
as a spiral on a cylinder. The author offers an interpretation of this text and argue that it is
about Empedocles’ conception of the solar trajectory during the year. After a preliminary attempt, an interlude is inserted on some strange theories, ascribed to Empedocles, about the
two hemispheres of the heaven and two suns. Two of the more reliable theories attributed
to Empedocles that are relevant in the context of this paper, namely the tilting and the eggshape of the heaven, as well as the problems of the size of the sun and the shape of the earth,
are discussed in successive sections. This allows the author to illustrate some of his ideas on
Presocratic flat earth cosmology. Prior to offering a visualization of the cosmos according to
Empedocles, Bollack’s earlier attempt is subjected to a critical examination. In two additional
sections of the article, the author claims that, according to Empedocles, the moon must move
on a cylinder as well and that the image of the cylinder for movements of the sun and moon
dates back to Anaximander.

dc.description.abstract

value: The paper examines how textual characteristics in management letters of Russian companies (content, readability and tonality of the text) influence the average annual stock price. It is assumed that the presence of non-financial business information in the text (investment motivation, human capital, long-term prospects), its tonality and readability will have a significant impact on the average annual stock prices of Russian firms. Panel regression analysis was used to analyze management letters and financial indicators of 52 Russian companies over a five-year period from 2013 to 2017. The text tonality was calculated using the Loughran & McDonald thematic dictionary, and the availability of non-financial information was calculated by using specialized dictionaries. The evaluation of panel regression parameters revealed a relationship only between the positive sentiment in the text and the average annual price of a firm's stock, while the negative sentiment in messages does not affect the dynamics of quotations. For the CEO's letters, variables reflecting the subject of a long-term business orientation and human capital were significant, while for letters by the chairman of the board of directors, only the text characteristic of a long-term business orientation was significant. For both types of letters, a positive relationship was found between the variable describing the readability of the document and the average annual stock price. The sample of the study (the number of companies) was limited since annual reports of the companies were used in English on the grounds that there are currently no Russian-language financial dictionaries for text analysis. The obtained research results can be useful for investors and other users of public annual reports of issuers, as well as for representatives of government agencies when forming regulatory requirements for the level of disclosure of mandatory information by issuers.

dc.description.abstract

value:
One of the most famous academic conflicts in 17th century Sweden was a quarrel between
Johannes Schefferus and Olof Verelius in the 1670s concerning the original position of the
city of Uppsala and its heathen temple, mentioned by Adam of Bremen. After a series of publications with mutual attacks Verelius published in 1678 a document entitled Annotationes ex
scriptis Karoli Episcopi Arosiensis excerptae, pretending to go back to a lost medieval source.
Schefferus answered with an analysis of the document, proving it to be a forgery. Despite
Schefferus’ brilliant and convincing philological investigation, Annotationes have often been
regarded as a genuine medieval source, especially after the publication of a monograph by the
Swedish historian Kjell Kumlien in 1967. Recently, several historical and philological surveys
have opposed Kumlien’s views, providing additional arguments in favour of Schefferus’ claims.
This article aims at adding one more: an odd juncture in the text of Annotationes — ‘opus
trium deorum’ that is to be understood as ‘a temple of three gods’ — can be explained by an
ambition of the forger to imitate Adam of Bremen, whose text belonged to the central ones in
the controversy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Justin the Philosopher, a second-century Christian author, discusses the cult of Mithras in
his works First Apology on behalf of the Christians and Dialogue with Trypho the Jew. Justin’s
portrayal of Mithraic customs is traditionally interpreted in the light of his conception of
imitatio diabolica, as the ἀρχή of pagan myths and beliefs. To illustrate the theory of diabolical
imitation, Justin touches upon several features of Mithraic rituals and provides us with a few
indications of Mithraic ethical teachings. Two curious accounts of Mithraic cave shrines in
Justin’s Dialogue with Trypho the Jew (Justin. Dial. 70, 1–3; 78, 6) have not been closely examined by previous researchers and require our special attention. Justin draws a parallel between
the Mithraic cave shrines and the prophecy of Isaiah (Isa. 33, 13–16), focusing on the prophet’s
words concerning a cave and a cliff as he finds them analogous to Mithraic sanctums. Remarkably, Justin never refers to Mithraic temples as caves, but only as places, called so by Mithraists.
He does not claim that the devil has taught Mithraists to perform rituals in caves, but insists
that he has taught them to name their sanctuaries caves. Justin’s wording exposes his effort
to accentuate the difference between the object (a shrine) and its name (cave). This indicates
that Justin believed that Mithraists did not use natural caves as their sanctuaries, despite his
knowledge of other aspects of this cult.

The author analyzes the historiographic situation that has developed in recent years on post-soviet
space. He draws attention to the changing subject and nature of scientific research. In the historiography
of the new nation-states, national history dominates, in their historical politics - nationalism. This weakens
the scientific component, since national history in its characteristics is presentist and constructivist. She
suffers from autarchy, the work of scientists is confined only to the national reader, and the products which
is produced by national historiographies, has mainly domestic consumers, it is difficult to enter the world
scientific platform with it. An indicator of the situation is the absence of indexing scientific journals of these
countries in international highly rated databases (unlike Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, which
are more oriented to international scientific criteria). There is a reduction in the study of world history, and
the history of Russia interpreted in the spirit of the corresponding historical policy and practically not studied
in the scientific plan. The article offers an overview of relevant research areas and concludes that scientific
integration and the development of a new general concept of the history of the Central-Eastern Europe.
Comparative studies are promising here; it is useful to include in the field of comparison and the Balkans
and the countries of Central Europe. In the pre-imperial period, the studied historical region in general, it
would be more correct to define Central-Eastern Europe from the Elbe and the Danube to Don and Volga,
from the Baltic to the Black Sea as a complete region. Historically, everything here was too intertwined and
interconnected to plunder it over national historic territories.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article draws on data from a parallel corpus (the Oslo Multilingual Corpus) to
explore differences in how the cognate Norwegian and German adverbs her/hier ‘here’
(seemingly highly similar in meaning) are used as deictic space builders in discourse.
The aim of the presented study is to propose some more general cognitive mechanisms that may underlie such differences, in the languages that are closely related. The
linguistic material is considered within the framework of cognitive grammar and is
linked to recent knowledge on bilingual cognition as represented in translation. By
carefully examining both the sources and translations of these adverbs in the corpus
of translations, we identify different patterns of construal in the languages compared.
The main difference found in setting up the deictic space pertains to the construction
of the coordinate system preferred in Norwegian and German — a more egocentric one
in the former, and one more subjective and focused on the object of conceptualization
in the latter. Thus, close scrutiny of how the two cognates behave in translation helps
us to confirm that differences in imagery in two languages may be based on different
preferred vantage points, resulting in some clear conceptualization patterns on a lower level, and that imagery is subject to choice of particular cultures. Additionally, it
is demonstrated that Norwegian seems less space-oriented than German, which to a
greater extent prefers detailed spatial indication within discourse, and that the German
hier may be less proximal than the proximal her.

value:
This article highlights the various genre structures in the composition of the Grottasǫngr, an additional song of the “Elder Edda” that refers to the mythological cycle,
and interprets it as a holistic phenomenon with linguo-stylistic features characteristic
of it as a variant of eschatology, beloved in the Eddic tradition with its “death of the
gods” that are described by means of an audio code. The uniqueness of the Grottasǫngr
lies in the fact that this is the only Eddic in which, as a symbol of the mythopoetic
model of the universe, there is a mill with explicit features of animation (it produces the
basic goods) and ambivalence is demonstrated (serving the anthropocentric sphere and
returning to the wild). In accordance with the nature of the denotation, an audio code
is used for its description. Two symbols of the model of the universe are compared —
the world tree (ash Yggdrasil) and the mill (Grotti), which mark the different poles of
binary oppositions: vertical  — horizontal, universal (related to both the macrocosm
and the microcosm) — anthropocentric, static — dynamic. On the basis of the analysis
carried out, we can postulate the core of content in the form of a cosmological song and
reconstruct the version of the creation myth coded by synonymous linguistic elements:
O.-Icel. Grotti, ‘grinding’, cf. O.-E. grindan ‘to grind’ & O.-Icel. mála ‘to grind’, and also
to note the use of a charm as the dominant form of meta description, serving the communicative intention of the main characters — giantesses possessing magical power
and striving to achieve the desired result (release from uninterrupted work at the mill).

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article explores the concept of Danish hygge as an integral part of Danish language consciousness. Two peculiar concepts that have been coined relatively recently
(namely hyggeracisme and hyggesexisme) have already managed to gain a certain popularity with the Danish media, notwithstanding the said expressions’ obvious ambiguity. On the one hand, these terms encompass a variety of shades of meaning intrinsic
to the concept of hygge, on the other hand, they have more to do with some marginal
interpretations of hygge, rather than with more conventional perceptions of the phenomenon. The “dark side” of Danish hygge has often been the subject of social science
research, though one must admit, somewhat regrettably, that it has not been thoroughly
examined in regard to translation. Being a widely accepted social phenomenon, it deserves further investigation. In order to proceed with the task at hand and to correctly
delineate the actual meaning of these neologisms, one must embrace the semantic limitations of the hygge concept, simultaneously drawing distinctions between the positive,
neutral and negative impacts of hygge on everyday life. Furthermore, if one takes a
more detailed look at such basic concepts as ‘racism’ and ‘sexism’, one will see that these
have different implications for the Danish and Russian languages due to the various
cultural, historical, and institutional differences between the two countries, although
the core meaning seems to remain intact. These differences, however minimal, may
become substantial enough to negate the possibility of employing direct equivalents for translation purposes. When such notions as ‘racism’ and ‘sexism’ merge with ‘hygge-’, the compound nouns seem to undergo a drastic semantic transformation — the
original meaning gives way to a new one, much more obscure (thus making literal
translation inadequate). The next step includes choosing the most feasible strategies for
translation. Due to the fact that we are dealing with a neologism that is widely used,
though not particularly consistently, one must always take into consideration the intentions of the speaker who usually makes references to Danish social and cultural realities
that are not always entirely known to an outside observer. The article includes the main
views on the notion of “hygge” in all its aspects, providing contextual examples of the
occurrence of both neologisms, along with possible translations and justifications for
the choices made by the author.

The article presents early printed Dutch books from the Wrocław University Library (Poland), one of the richest collections of neerlandica outside the Netherlands
and Flanders. Attention is given to travel books from the Netherlands in the 17th and
18th centuries. Among them is De Waerachtighe beschrijvinge vande drie zeylagien …
by noorden Noorvveghen, Moscovien ende Tartarien… (‘The True Description of the
Three Sea Voyages … along North Norway, Moscovia and Tartaria…’) by Gerrit de
Veer in the 1619  edition (which focuses on life on the White Sea and on Novaya
Zemlya, and to the inhabitants of these areas: Nenets, Lapps, and Russians). There are
also travel books about expeditions to the Southern Hemisphere of the world, such as
the Iovrnael (‘Journal’) by Hendrick Ottsen about Rio de la Plata from 1617 (where
penguins are described), the Beschrijvinghe (‘Description‘) by Pieter de Marees, or
works by Olfert Dapper from the late 17th century about African countries. The late
17th and early 18th centuries are represented by Eberhard IJsbrant Ides’ and Adam
Brand’s Driejarige reize naar China (‘Three Years’ Journey to China‘), as well as Reizen
over Moskovië, door Persië en Indië (‘Travels across Moscovia, Persia and India‘) from
1714 by Cornelis de Bruyn. The article also presents a brief history of the library in
Wrocław and provides an answer to the question of why such a rich collection of neerlandica can be found in this (rather unknown) Polish city of Wrocław. The article

dc.description.abstract

value:
The novel Independent People by Halldór Kiljan Laxness was published in 1934,
and it is now considered to be one of the best Icelandic novels. Actually, this work was
a response to Knut Hamsun’s novel Growth of the Soil, in which peasant patriarchal
relations were presented in an ideal light. In both of these novels, the image of a proud
independent person, existing in isolation from society, is central. Both of them are national types: Bjartur is an Icelander and Isak is Norwegian, but they also embody a
kind of universal personality with the ability to act at their own discretion for good or
evil. Hamsun provides the ideal model of existence, his hero is the winner in the fight
against civilization, but the depiction of Laxness’ hero appears as the crucial facet of the
Icelandic national character: Bjartur is stark, precise, educated, and quick-tempered,
but he has great tenacity. His ideas and aspirations are very similar to Isak’s aims, but
they are just utopian. He brings only grief and death to those whom he loves, and to
those who love him. Hamsun and Laxness both criticized the capitalist civilization,
asking the same question: what are the greatest values in this life? However, they found
very different answers. Hamsun tried to find his ideal in the patriarchal peasantry, and
Laxness was enthusiastic about communist ideas. It was actually an ideological confrontation where Laxness, denying Hamsun’s ideology, greatly contributed to the leftist
ideology and its attack on democracy. There is no doubt that Laxness as an author borrowed a lot from Hamsun’s manner of writing and his novel, under certain conditions,
can be considered as a reinterpretation of Hamsun’s novel.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents an analysis of a coursebook in Swedish for foreign language
learners with a focus on information concerning disjuncts. Krashen’s input hypothesis is used as a basic assumption, which states that the development of language skills in a
second language anticipates an understandable input on a level that is one step higher
than the learner’s current level. The analysis involves the textbook and student’s book
Rivstart at the B1+B2 level. In the study, a variety of disjuncts were considered as well
as their position in a sentence (main clause versus subordinate clause) since Swedish
word order requires different locations of this item in both clause types. In addition,
the explicit and the implicit use of disjuncts were analysed in both books. The results
indicated that both the textbook and the student’s book use a wide span of different
disjuncts. The explicit mention of disjuncts is more common in the student’s book than
in the textbook, but the focus is almost often on the meaning and not on the syntactic
position. The implicit occurrence, on the other hand, is more frequent in the textbook
than in the student’s book. There is a considerable discrepancy in the use of disjuncts
in main and subordinate clauses. Disjuncts occur almost only in main clauses — the
learners become accustomed to a very limited input of disjuncts in subordinate clauses
which causes a substantial underrepresentation of constructions with preverbal position and a disjunct in subordinate clauses in Swedish.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Victor Toporov (1946–2013) was a brilliant literary critic and writer of the “sixties”
generation, who decided during his school years “not to fit into any system” and to maintain his independence. In 1969 he graduated from the department of German Philology
of Leningrad State University; being a creative person he suffered from the absence of
freedom of the press as he could not publish his own poems. As a result, he found a niche
for himself in translating poetry. Many of his translations from German and English are
both true to original texts and sound like quality Russian verses. But the situation with
translations from Dutch is different. Comparing the source and target texts we come to
the conclusion that the translator sought to create vivid and colorful Russian poems,
without sticking to the original text. In particular, many of his translations of Lucebert’s
poems are so far from the Dutch originals that they can be considered a case of literary
mystification similar to the hoax of Vladimir Lifshitz (1913–1978), who published his
own poems and passed them off as translations of works by a non-existent British poet
James Clifford. Toporov’s translations from Dutch have a perfect form (a clear rhythm,
vivid rhymes), their vocabulary is very informal, and he often uses bold neologisms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with a certain case of perception of Old Icelandic culture in Icelandic poetry at the end of the 20th century, specifically the cycle of poems “Ljóð námu
menn” (1988) by Sigurður Pálsson. The reception of Old Icelandic culture and literature
in the 20th–21st century in Iceland is mainly text-centered and the figure of the Writer
plays an important role in it. As a result, the subject of the majority of poems is the creation of certain “sagas of Icelanders”, well-known to Icelandic readers. In Sigurður
Pálsson´s interpretation, the authors of these sagas resemble modern feature writers as
well as cultural heroes of myths. The sagas‘ authors, or the creation process, are mythologized in different ways in the poems and acquire universal, timeless traits; at the same
time, references to the contents of the certain sagas are minimized. In the final poem of
the cycle, the settlement of Iceland is mythologized — and it also turns out to be unseparated from the literary creation. In the Icelandic culture of the 20th–21st centuries, subjects, concerned with Old Icelandic literature, are important national topoi. Poets, that
chose them as subjects for their works, have to consider their high status in the national
culture. Representation of key moments in the Old Icelandic culture and literature in
Sigurður Pálsson´s poems is very subjective, but it does not contradict these topoi. In
the cycle of poems examined here, historicism and factography are nearly absent and
they are replaced by mythologism: writing a saga is equal to a cosmogonical act, and
taking up a new land is comparable to the composing of a song.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The discussion was devoted to the consideration of the paper, written by D.V. Sen’, about the
current situation in frontier researches in Russia, which was published in the current issue of the journal.
The participants of the discussion were scholars from Russia, the United States and Ukraine, who are
studing the history of border territories and border communities. They focused on several key problems
related to the main topic of discussion. These are the questions: 1. Is the frontier concept convincing
today? What are its strong and weak aspects? 2. Is the concept of a frontier effective for studying all
countries, or only some? To study the history of which countries it is useful and in which it does not
work? Why do you have such a point of view? 3. Why are continued new attempts to find alternative
theories of the frontier theory? 4. What perspectives have comparative studies of the frontier, which
compare the history of the frontier of different countries? 5. Is it possible to apply the concept of frontier
to the history of Russia? To study the history of which Russian regions is it effective? What “Russian
frontier” looks as a myth? Some participants consider the frontier model “politically insecure”. Other
participants considered this idea to be irrelevant. However, there is no reason to consider be untenable
the concept of a frontier unproductive on the fields that have analogies between the American frontier
and other frontiers. Various points of view were considered about the validity of the frontier theory in
relation to different cases, examples of explaining these events in the context of the history of different
states, territories, cultures using the concept of a frontier. The question was discussed whether the theory
of the frontier can provide at the beginning of the XXI century fundamental influence on the study of
the history of Russian regions. The question was asked: why in various national historiographies the
debate about the search for analogies or even about the revision of the theory of the frontier does not
stop? The participants in the discussion generally agreed with the opinion that the concept of the frontier
can be recognized as a convincing explanatory model when referring specifically to the Russian historical experience of the development of new territories in the 16th-19th centuries. The participants of the
discussion identified the problems and prospects for the further use of the concept of the frontier, not
insisting on its “classical definition” and recognizing the absence of a single (internally homogeneous
and consistent) concept of the frontier. An opinion was also expressed about the need to identify the
main cases of the transformation of the frontier territory into the traditional territory of the country.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyses contemporary Russian scholars’ usage of the frontier concept in studies
devoted to borders, borderlands, contact zones, and the history of Russian development of new lands.
The author highlights controversial areas in such studies, including the features of frontier territories,
the typology of Russian frontiers, and the search for counterparts to the term “frontier” in the Russian
language and among Russian historical and geographical names. Cases discussed include Russian
scholars deny the heuristic potential of the frontier concept for Russian history. Both the rhetoric of such authors and their sometimes far-from-scholarly system of arguments are analyzed. The author considers problems and perspectives of frontier theory in comparison with a similar situation in Ukrainian
and American historiography. The modern efforts of scholars from different countries to study lexical
analogues of the concept of “frontiers” in order to explain the historical and cultural local specifics of
various territories were analyzed. At the same time, some explorers are offering to refuse of this concept in research practices. Attention is drawn to reasons why this theory is especially actively used by
representatives of various regional academic centers in Russia. The common and distinctive features of
studies in the history of various Russian frontiers are characterized. The most prominent among those
frontiers are the Siberian and the southern (North Caucasian) frontiers. The article points out the connection between some development trends of frontier investigations in Russia and the interest growth to
regional history, the history of the Russian state expansion and the borders formation of foreign policy.
The author draws attention to a new generation of studies which has developed under the influence of
the frontier theory. They have significantly transformed the state of academic humanitarian community
of the South of Russia, a community that is quiet conservative in relation to modern scientific concepts.
Finally, perspective topics were proposed for further use of the frontier concept in research on the history of Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Rotation verbs in the Norwegian language are represented by 28 lexemes, including peripheral ones. They can be divided into several groups depending on the type of
movement described. This article considers the semantics of seven Norwegian verbs
denoting prototypical rotation, that is, more or less regular, uniform circular movement
around a certain fairly defined center (external or internal axis): dreie ‘rotate’, rotere ‘rotate’ (about mechanical rotation), kretse ‘circle’ (on or above the surface), sirkle ‘circle’,
sirkulere ‘circulate’, snurre ‘twirl’ (fast rotation around its axis), spinne ‘spin’. In addition
to the main meaning, the main figurative uses are provided for each verb. Examples
selected on the Internet and in the Norwegian Web 2015 corpus (Bokmål) demonstrate
not only the semantics of these verbs, but also their compatibility and stylistic characteristics. An analysis of the examples demonstrates that the main and most universal
verbs of this group include the verbs dreie seg, rotere, and kretse, while the rest are
narrower in meaning and less frequent. This article is the first in a series describing the
semantics of rotation verbs in Norwegian.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The so-called Bavarian Geographer describes the ethnopolitical situation at the end of the first
half of the 9th century in a wide area of Central and Eastern Europe. The names of those tribes are mostly
recorded in their Germanic forms, as they were known at the time among the Franks. Those names are in
their Slavic forms basically authentic, quallificative in their nature, created according to certain collective
characteristics that their bearers attributed to themselves. Thus we can assume that those tribes brought those
names from their ancient homeland when they settled the Elbe region, and that could be corroborated with
the fact that some of those tribal names appear also among the South Slavs (Obodrites, Serbs, Milingoi =
Milcians?). In the area of the ancient Slavic homeland itself, in the basin of the upper Oder, Warta, Vistula,
West Bug and Upper Dniester, it lists a number of tribes that can be divided into two groups. The first would
include those who still kept their old names and ancient tribal identities The second group includes tribes,
which, judging by their names, were new, territorially based tribes, composed of members of various tribes
that during the migrations stayed at their homes. Based on the ethnonymic material from the treatise of the
Bavarian Geograph and other early medieval sources, one important conclusion can be reached about the
Slavic ethnonymy — in naming of the tribes, peoples and communities, the Slavs held much more to the
essence than form. The names derived from the same root occur often with different suffixes, and sometimes
for one and the same tribe the names are derived from another, but semantically identical root.

The discussion, devoted to the consideration of the papers of Alexander Filyushkin and
Alexey Martyniuk, took part at the special section of the Petersburg Historical Forum. The participants
are from Russia, Austria, Slovakia, Estonia, Germany etc. Participants in the discussion highlighted the
problematic points in the study of the history of the Eastern European region: the difficulty of defining
the geographical and chronological framework, the problems of an established terminology, the break
in the historiographic tradition, the need to search for new methodological tools and, at the same time,
to verify the correctness of its application. Arguments were expressed both “for” and “against” the proposed thesis of Alexey Martyniuk about the “Byzantinization” of the history of Old Rus’. Most of the
speakers spoke in favor of overcoming the situation of “national fragmentation” of the medieval history
of Eastern Europe. The development of that research perspective that would allow us to see the history
of this region as the history of a single space, which has its own dynamics, its own “rhythms” and its
own characteristics, which are not reducible only to the common history of modern states and nations.
The importance of comparative studies was emphasized — the need, when considering the history of
Old Rus’ and the Eastern Slavs in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times, to refer to the experience
of studying the history of the southern and western Slavs, Byzantium and the medieval Balkans, the
regions of the Baltic and Black Seas and, in the end, not to be afraid the search for typological parallels
in “distant lands and eras” — in the history of Antiquity, the medieval Latin world, classical Western
European Modernity. The discussion showed the importance of historians’ reflection on the subject and
method of their research, as well as the need for constant professional dialogue between representatives
of different national schools and historiographic traditions.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Scholars usually try to clear up the origine of the word Rus’, scantly attending the peculiarities
of distribution of this name within the Primary Chronicle. At the same time endless discussion concerning
the meaning of the ethnonym Rus’ to a large degree bound to the complex textual history of the chronicle.
There are many textual discrepancies in this compilation, which arose as a result of discord in its sources.
Compilers of the Chronicle have at their disposal previous writings, oral tradition and the Byzantine texts
translated into Slavic. Considering the mention of Rus’ as ethnonym and politonym, we can distinguish two
kinds of records. First, Rus’ along with other ethnonyms occurs in several lists of peoples. Second, Rus’
appears alone in the Chronicle’s narrative. The aim of this paper is to explore the peculiarities of use of
Rus’ in both cases. Rus’ alone is found mainly in the borrowings from the Byzantine sources and correlated
with them texts in the chronical entries of the 9th–10th centuries. These are description of the campaigns
against Constantinople and the treaties with the Greeks (about 60 mentions). While impact of translated
texts onto the Chronicle is weakening, Rus’ alone appears from the last third of the 10th century also in the
non-Byzantine narrative. Simultaneously, frequency of occurance is faded away: 11th and the beginning of
the 12th century include about 15 mentions. Thus, it seems that the Byzantine texts, including the Chronicle
of George Hamartolos, the Life of Basil the New, as well as the treaties with Greeks, contributed to
preserve the ethnonym Rus’. A paradox is that the layer with the borrowings from Byzantine sources
is believed to belong to the posterior constituent of the Primary Chronicle. As for the lists of peoples,
which are found chiefly at the beginning of the Chronicle, some of them have apparently late origin,
but others demonstrate unexpected depth of memory. The latter include enumeration of the descendants
of biblical Japheth, inhabitants of the northern part of the universe, found in the Introduction of the
Primary Chronicle. Early «Japhethic Lists» enumerate Fenno-Ugric tribes, followed by the Baltic and
West European peoples dwelling along the Baltic sea on the way from the mouth of Western Dvina
to the Scandinavian coast, and thence past England and Spain to the Mediterranean. Rome mentioned
several times as the end of the journey, as well as some others details, might suppose a textual source
or oral tradition preceding the Great Schism of the 1054. It is important that the lists of peoples demonstrate mess of use of the ethnonyms Rus’ and Varangians in the Chronicle, which overlap each other
and demonstrate change of meaning.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Russian documents of the 16
th–18th centuries contain a large number of references to Latysh. They
are not always associated with the area of the Baltic speaking population, more recently known under this
name. Until now, these cases have been considered by historians only locally, on the materials of a particular
source. So the phenomena as a whole wasn’t explained, and the full history of «other» Latysh remained
undescribed. The author traces the history of the onym Latysh, that covers various regions of Eastern Europe
in the historical period from the beginning of the Livonian War to the end of the 17th century. The study is
based on the documents of the Livonian War, scribal books, correspondence relating to the Swedish-Russian
borderland that emerged after the Stolbov Peace. The outbreak of the Livonian War and the encounter of
Moscow campaigners with the non-Orthodox foreign-speaking population of the Livonian Order caused
a significant number of references to Latysh in Russian-language sources. In the early sources there is a
broad meaning of the term, extended to all non-orthodox peasants, regardless of their language affiliation.
But there is also a narrow meaning (in the texts of international treaties), which refers only to the Balticspeaking peasants of Livonia. Later, the term is widespread to various regions of the Moscow State through
the withdrawal of captives from Livonia, who retained the external name «Latysh», as well as through the dissemination throughout the Moscow state territory of campaigners, who had service experience in Livonia.
Campaigners continued to call people belonging to the western branch of Christianity (for example, the
peasants of Finland and Ingermanland) «Latysh». This situation led to the appearance of a super-wide meaning
of the term «Latysh», that meant foreigners in general, and this meaning was preserved at a later time in some
regional dialects. Thus, the term had several narrow and broad meanings that were applied in various regional
and all-Russian contexts and in most cases was not an ethnonym in the literal sense.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents itself the way of looking for a strategy which would allow to actualize,
analyze and interpret archival photographs. In a focus there are images of medieval temple architecture from
the territory on which the civilizations of East and West are converged. As the main source a collection of
photographs from the Kosovo and Bitola vilayets of the Ottoman Empire is taken. It was acquired in 1914
by the famous linguist E. A. Volter (1856–1941) in Skopje for the Department of Ethnography of the Russian
Museum of His Imperial Majesty Alexander III. Comparing images with each other and with other similar
photographic artifacts of the early 20th century the author noted their common subject referred to the heritage
of the Serbian dynasty Nemanichi ruled in the 14th century. The photographs thus visualize the phenomenon of
Old Serbia, defined as a folklore-ideological construct which has become a part of the national program of the
Kingdom of Serbia in the 19th century. Using the example of three photographic scenes, the historical fate of
this heritage, its phenomenology and semantics are traced, as well as its role and significance for the modern
Serbian society is revealed. Based on this, the conclusion about the deep connection between the temple
heritage and the national myth, Serbian identity and its representation is drawn. The problem of interethnic
contradictions is touched upon. Interpretation of photographs is carried out by their correlation with folklore
and narrative sources within the framework of an integrated approach. The results of the analysis allow to
conclude that the materials of the collection significantly contribute to the comprehension of a number of
historical and ethnological issues, including global problems of our time, such as the problem of preserving
the world cultural heritage.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Based on published and unpublished works of Ivan Petrovich Liprandi (1790–1880), this article
considers evolution of the images of Serbs and Serbia in the period 1830–1860. Liprandi was studying the
Ottoman Empire and the Balkans for 50 years and he was recognized by contemporaries as one of the foremost
experts on the history and culture of the European regions of the Ottoman Empire. During the 1830-1860s
his views underwent significant changes, and Liprandi went from an executive officer, collecting ‘objective’
information about the southern Slavs, to a staunch supporter of imperial pan-Slavism. In the 1830s Ivan
Petrovich can be described as a representative of ‘practical’ Slavic studies. Being in the south of Russia, he was
gathering information on the peoples of the Balkan Peninsula for his superiors. Based on the Enlightenment
paradigm, Liprandi was convinced that independent Serbia should become a conductor of Russian influence
in the Balkans. In turn, the empire would help the Serbs get rid of the ‘remnants’ of Ottoman rule and join the
family of enlightened nations. However, by the middle of 19th it had become obvious that Serbia preferred to
be Western-oriented in its foreign policy. At the same time, Liprandi became to be in close to supporters of
imperial pan-Slavism (A.F. Veltman). As a result, Ivan Petrovich’s views on the Serbs underwent significant
changes in the second half of the 19th century. He departed from the rhetoric of the Enlightenment and wrote
about the Serbs as a nation who had lost the best features of the Slavs. Liprandi orientalised the Serbs and
attributed to them all the negative qualities that previously attributed only to the Turks. As a result, in the works
of Liprandi in the 1860s in descriptions of Serbs, extremely negative connotations prevailed and Serbia was
portrayed as an unsuccessful example of modernization, as a result of which people lost their best qualities
but could not fully join the achievements of European civilization.

The article devoted to the consideration of the current situation in the study of the history of
Medieval Rus’, focuses on the problem of political instrumentalization of history in modern public discourse.
It is characterized as disintegration. The previously unified field of research is rapidly breaking up into separate “clusters of study”. A decisive factor in this process of foundation in the Eastern Europe many new
national states, finding their roots in history. At the same time, there is a fragmentation and disintegration
of the previously unified field of research, including in the field of medieval studies, and the appearance of
“its own Middle Ages” in each national historiography. The disintegration of the field of research also leads
to the disintegration of a single language of science — first of all, not even in the “national key”, but in the
conceptual plane, since the presence of “one’s own Middle Ages” also presupposes the formation of one’s
own conceptual language of its description and study. The author puts forward the thesis about the need
for axiological understanding of Medieval Rus’ — as a historical era, a single subject of research in the
historiography of different countries and at the same time a unique cultural phenomenon in its completeness, which is a common heritage of three East Slavic peoples. To achieve this goal, the author proposes the concept of “Byzantinization” of the history of Old Rus’. Studies of the historical and cultural heritage
of Byzantium are a vivid example of “integrating” historiographic paradigm. The history of Byzantium as a
scientific discipline managed to avoid fragmentation and was constituted as a kind of “thing in itself”, a selfsufficient historical and cultural value that does not require legitimation through its significance for modernity.
The author constructs his argumentation in the form of seven theses, each of which considers one of the topical problems of modern historical knowledge, including in the field of Eastern European medieval studies
(discourse of patriotic rhetoric in history, discourse of ideological justification through history, discourse of
context and understanding, discourse of unity and / or divisions, discourse on the limits of interference in
history, discourse of constructivism in history, discourse on the relationship between science and society).

Sovjet Ereveld — Soviet Field of Honour or the Soviet/Russian War Cemetery in
Leusden/Amersfoort in the Netherlands are various names of the cemetery where Soviet soldiers are buried. The Soviet Army never stepped on Dutch territory and all the
men lying there were prisoners of war. The story told here is about 101 soldiers, Soviet
Uzbeks, of whom 24 were martyred in the Amersfoort concentration camp and the remaining 77 were executed by the Nazis in the Koedriest forest on 9 April 1942. Together
with other Soviet warriors, totaling 865, they are buried in Leusden under similar grey
tomb plates, with illegible Cyrillic names that are often misspelt. These soldiers were
forgotten until 1999 when a young journalist Remco Reiding started his investigations
and attracted public attention to the fate of the soldiers. Now the Dutch people visit the
graves, bring flowers and light candles, adopt the graves, contact the next of kin, and
make it possible for them to come to the Netherlands and learn that their grandfathers
were not lost in action, but rather they have found peace and remembrance in a strange
land. Who are the people carrying out these activities, what makes them act this way,
and what do they themselves think about it? These and other questions were included
in a questionnaire conducted by the authors; the results are partly presented in the
article. The responses demonstrate deep compassion, gratitude to the Soviet army for
fighting the Nazis, emotional involvement, human and political wisdom, and a degree
of openness that is emotionally powerful.

value:
The article examines a little-known story from the history of museum work in the Crimea: an
attempt to create a Museum in Simferopol in memory of the 300th anniversary of the reign of
the Romanov House (Romanov Museum). It is noted that this idea suggested combining the
collections of the Museum of Antiquities of the Taurida Scientific Archival Commission and
the Natural History Museum of the Taurida Provincial Zemstvo. Both museums had unique
collections, but did not have suitable facilities for storing and exhibiting items. It is indicated
that the idea of creating a comprehensive museum in the Taurida province belonged to the
prominent Zemstvo leader A.H. Steven, however, for many years the construction was not
possible due to lack of adequate funding. In 1912, the idea of the necessity of opening a museum was expressed by the Taurida Governor P.N.Apraksin. A year later, it was decided to coincide with the construction of the museum building in Simferopol on the 300th anniversary
of the reign of the Romanov dynasty, which was widely celebrated in the Russian Empire. The
idea was enthusiastically received by the local intelligentsia, preparatory work related to finding a place for the museum building began. An active supporter of the creation of the museum
was an outstanding Crimean local historian A.I.Markevich, who has repeatedly appeared in
the press with articles that emphasized the importance of creating a museum in Simferopol.
Assistance in preparation for the opening of the new institution was also provided by the
famous entomologist S.A.Mokrzhetsky, who travelled to St. Petersburg on this issue. Taurida
Provincial Zemstvo allocated funds for the construction of the building. Further plans to open
the Romanov Museum in Simferopol were prevented by the First World War.

This article is a kind of reflection of a museum professional on the theme of the developing museum network of the Republic of India. The author seeks to find the answer to the question: what
should be done to qualitatively renew the country’s museums, transform them in accordance
with the latest approaches of world museology? However, instead of focusing on the problems of
museum activities, she calls for a rethinking of the future in a positive way, as well as to see the
huge potential that museums in India have. Awareness of this potential includes an analysis of
the needs of various categories of museum visitors. In addition, the potential of Indian museums
is due to the multifaceted national culture, which is reflected in museum collections and museum displays. Thus, this article offers the reader a look at museology in evolution, in movement,
is an internal partly subjective look at the development of museology, does not consider a static
situation or historical perspective, but analyzes the applicable possibilities in the development of
museum business in a single country — India. The author focuses on the analysis of issues such
as the re-profiling of cultural and natural heritage sites, the specifics of museum design, the study
of the target audience of Indian museums and the activities of national organizations whose
activities are related to museums in the country. The author addresses the aspects of financing
the museum sector through grants, as well as mutually beneficial cooperation between museums
and private collectors. The article was prepared on the basis of relevant research publications,
periodicals, museum sites and cultural organizations of India, relevant to the research topic.

value:
In 2020, the bicentennial of the birth of Karl Ivanovich May (1820–1895), the St. Petersburg
teacher-practitioner known in the pre-revolutionary period of Russian history, is celebrated.
In the 20th century his name was forgotten. Since 1995, on the initiative of N.V.Blagovo and
with the active support of the May graduate, Academician D. S.Likhachev, the Museum of the
History of Karl School was created in the former building of the May School. Its permanent director is N.V.Blagovo. By the anniversary date, the director, employees and friends of the museum did a great job of creating a collection of materials related to life and work Karl Ivanovich May. Based on the collected sources, a book is planned to be published. The article considers
and analyses the materials of the three main sections of the collection (biographical, pedagogical and memoir). Biographical materials are presented: translation of the biography of
K.I.May in 1907, typed in German Gothic script, made by Yu.E.Nefyodov in 1985; a speech
by F.I.Wind (“Leader to the Light”), also translated by Yu. E.Nefyodov; and the biography of
K.I.May created by M.T.Valiev. A significant part of historical sources contains information
about K.I.May as ateacher: the ode “Voice of the heart” by M.E.Dobropistsev, a report on the
pedagogical activities of the school in 1881, a speech by K.I.May (1890), as well as his article
“Do I need to ask students lessons on vaccinations?”. A valuable section in the collection are
memoirs (A.N.Benois, E.F.Blessig, N.A.Bruni, V.A.Giltebrandt, N.A.Epanchin, I.V.Petrashen’, D.P. Semyonov-Tyan -Shansky, R.A.Tishbein).

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyses the practice of scientific, artistic and ideological leadership of Moscow
organizations in Russian folk art in the Soviet period using the example of the leadership of
one of the centres for the production of Russian lacquer miniatures — the Fedoskino lacquer
craft — from the side of the Moscow Handicraft Museum. The author of the article focuses on
the policy of the Moscow Handicraft Museum, which was carried out during the first half of
the 20th century, on introducing drawings created by city professional artists specifically for
the Fedoskino master miniaturist into the lacquer miniature products of Fedoskino. The negative impact of such a policy on the development of the Fedoskino lacquer miniature, the reasons for the existence of such an external leadership, as well as the ways to overcome it along
which the workers of the Fedoskino lacquer industry during the Soviet period, are revealed.
The bibliography on this issue is examined in detail, various points of view and the argumentation of the relevant sides on such leadership in the lacquer industry are analysed. The purpose
of the article is to show the process of gradual change — from the widespread at the beginning
of the 20th century attitude to Fedoskino miniaturists as handicraftsmen-copyists, to their
recognition as full-fledged creators, equal with urban professional artists, who prevailed in
the mid-1950s. The author of the article concludes that the practice of imposing other people’s
decisions and opinions on the side of the Fedoskino lacquer industry by external museum
organizations, of course, to some extent enriched the experience of the miniature painter,
ultimately only proved the validity of his own creative approach in the field of art creation.

value:
Modern offsite exhibition as a practical way to realize mobility of museums’ collections is constantly requiring of domestic museologists renewed analysis. This article tells about museological literature where reliable definitions of offsite exhibition are given, collects sayings about offsite exhibition of such a significant Russian museology theorists as T.Yu. Yureneva, N.V.Maznyi,
T.P.Poliakov, E.A.Shulepova, etc., and also inquiries into their innovative approach to the classification of exhibitions on the kinetic principle. During the analysis of geographical and economical aspects of organizing offsite exhibitions by Russian museums, authors designate main
legislative acts, presidential decrees, methodological recommendations of Ministry of Culture,
inner museum’s instructions that regulate export of art works from one Russian region to another. Relying on this theoretical and source base, the researches carry out a complex analysis of the
State Russian museum’s activities on organizing intermuseum projects in cooperation with regional museums. Specifying and analysing offsite exhibitional projects realized by the State Russian museum in recent years (“Russia” program, 2003; project “Cultural and Exhibition Centres
of the Russian Museum”, which became the finalist of the competition program of the festival
“Intermuseum-2019”) authors emphasize the positive role of the Consulting and Methodological Centre of Art Museums of the Russian Federation organized at the Russian Museum in 1974.
Eventually authors conclude that active work of the State Russian museum in organizing offsite
exhibitions promotes building of close contact between the centre and the regions, provides access to cultural values for all Russian citizens. Moreover, it helps to overcome the divide between
museums of capitals and museums of other cities, as well as different imperfections in regional
museums’ work. Overall, the article is noticeably renewing existing domestic museological studies on this theme and suggests readers the most recent information.

Princes Yusupov  — Nikolai Borisovich Sr. (1750–1831), his son Boris Nikolaevich (1794–
1849) and grandson Nikolai Borisovich Jr. (1827–1891) entered the original page in the history of Russian musical culture. However, the most effective in this activity was N.B.Yusupov,
Jr. From his famous grandfather, he inherited not only the talent of a musician, but also a
collector. In particular, he collected a unique collection for the country of stringed bow instruments of the violin family of famous Italian masters of the XVII–XVIII centuries, which
before the October revolution was exhibited in the music room of the Yusupov Palace on the
Moika River. The fate of the collection was dramatic. Its history has not been studied. For
example, we still do not have an accurate knowledge not only of the actual composition of the
collection, but also of where the absolute majority of its tools found their home. Some authors
briefly mention that the collection went to the Museum of musical instruments in Leningrad,
others — to the State collection of unique instruments in Moscow. This article examines the
collection’s complicated history from the period of its dispersion, which began in 1919 and the
early 1920s. According to the study of documents and literature, we note that today we know
the fate of 29 instruments from the Yusupov collection (we are talking not only about violins,
but also other instruments): two violins are stored in the State collection of unique stringed
bowed instruments, 17 instruments — in the Sheremetev Palace — Museum of Music, 10 — in
the Hermitage.

In China porcelain throughout history has been very collectible, however, the cost of ancient
porcelain and the products of state workshops was pretty high, so ordinary collectors could
not afford to buy them. In the 1950s the situation radically changed: at this time a new phenomenon in art was developed — a small porcelain plastic, which received a specific meaning,
its artistic language was distinguished by the originality, it perfectly complemented the furniture and combined with the environment, having received because of that the recognition of
collectors. In the 21st century, private collectibles of cultural heritage objects are encouraged
by the government of the PRC and receives increasing attention from the public. In addition,
the last years are characterized by the manifestation of “noble” interest in China porcelain
products of the second half of the 20th century, including the works, not the following traditional artistic concepts. This article is devoted to the consideration of private modern collections of small porcelain plastics of the 1950s in China. The aim of the article is to consider
the collection and artistic value of porcelain plants of the 1950s, as well as revealing preferences, determining the directions and reasons for its private collectible. The work is attempted
to study and analyse the activities of such Chinese patrons of porcelain, like Juanfen, Tao
Zhaocin and Dan Cinfu, which made significant efforts to search, collect and study Chinese
porcelain art, and also made a considerable contribution to the foundation and the establishment of various institutions and museums, the subject of the study and collectible of which is
porcelain plastic. The analysis of the exhibits of the three collections is designed to shed light
on further directions and identify prospects for the development of collection and research
activities in the field of chalk porcelain plastic of the 1950s.

In today’s world, many works of street art, which until recently were a crime, become a part
of the permanent collections in galleries and museums around the world, are appropriated by
advertising, enter the process of commercialization, become institutionalized, conquer the art
market. In a short period of time street art evaluation vector changed. Despite the popularity
of this tendency, already recognized by many as the part of art, it is still a unique phenomenon
that has a special character, certain aesthetics, carries important social, political, cultural messages, express protest. Till now there are discussions about this phenomenon about what sphere
it belongs to, whether it is legal, whether it should be promoted and popularized and whether it
can be placed in a museum. This article reveals the positive and negative aspects of the process of
placing street art in museums, raises the question of how this undermines the idea and conceptual and symbolic meaning of street art, whether it has boundaries, how to change the perception of works of art in a confined space. The existing examples of street art museums in Russia
and abroad are considered, the need to revise existing spaces and open alternative art centres is
noted. Also here is paid the attention to the opinion of the artists, some of whom consider the
placement of their works in museums and galleries the next stage of their careers, while others
actively oppose this process, not allowing street art to be torn out of its “original” world.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents the results of analysis of exhibitions on political topics held in the leading
national art museums of the People’s Republic of China in 2018. Political theme of the exhibitions is defined by key terms in four basic aspects. Firstly, the fortieth anniversary of the policy
of “reform and openness”, that has defined China’s national development since 1978 and has
already ensured the construction of a socialist market economy. Secondly, the 19th National
Congress of the Communist party of China (2017), which set the goal of a comprehensive
national revival. Thirdly, the One Belt  One Road initiative, which involves the use of historical
symbols for the peaceful development and strengthening of economic partnerships between
participating countries. Fourthly, a workshop on literature and art (October 2014), in which
Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People’s Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Council, set tasks for cultural institutions
and workers. The ideas and key terms of these areas have become the subject of analysis of the
exhibition activities of museums. As a result, it was revealed that six of the nine key museums
in China actively use political themes, thereby realizing the social mission of museums. Two
decisive factors that determine the choice of a specific exhibition theme by museums are identified: the geographical location of the region and its economic development. Precisely under
the influence of these factors and in the context of the tasks to reveal political themes, the
museums in 2018 actualized the cultural traditions of the regions and responded to the most
important events related to the current stage of the reform and openness policy.

The article deals with the reasons of crisis in museology. As the main idea of these are considered the gap between modern museum practice and limited by frame of the professional
Institute. Whereas science, which main role is to describe as fully and adequately as possible
the part of reality it works with, must permanently analyse all ongoing changes in order to
preserve the validity of scientific concepts and develop new ones. The classical museology
approach continues to describe museum objects and basic functions concerning selection,
documentation, preservation, research, exhibition, restoration and etc. Meanwhile, radical
innovations occur in the interaction of the museum and its visitors, accompanied the process of incorporation kind of works other cultural institutions. Today, the broad engagement
of local communities, volunteers, collectors, “friends of the museum” societies and sponsors
in the museum’s activities demonstrate trends of new Museum movement towards its selfdevelopment from a professional to a social institution, integrated into the system of social
institutions of the society along with the institutions of family, religion, education, political
parties, etc. Science, the main role of which is to fully and adequately describe the part of the
reality with which it works, is invariably faced with the task of analysing all the changes that
are taking place in order to maintain the validity of scientific concepts and develop new ones.
An objective analysis of these innovations can give museology an impetus for the further development of the scientific apparatus and the updating of theoretical constructions.
