dc.description.abstract

value: Results of the analyses of the interregional differentiation in wages in the case of the Republic of Bashkortostan are shown. The analysis revealed the following problems in the region: the growing gap the average regional wage from the national average; the formal reduction of the inequality in wages; the presence of lasting inter-municipal differentiation in most types of economic activity; the presence of significant inter-industry and intra-industry differentiation; growth differentiation of salaries in socially significant activities; the presence of intra-industry differentiation, which is not a professional qualification in nature. The regulation of wage growth in socially significant types of economic activities is proposed as one of the tools for solving problems of differentiation in remuneration. The solution to this problem leads to define the differentiated interest rates for increase wage levels. The possibility of solving this problem based on the methods of agent based modeling. The results of numerical experiment are presented. Refs 34. Figs 7. Tables 5.

His name is associated with the St Petersburg University, where he held the Department of Statistics and was dean of the Faculty of History and Philology. He made a significant contribution to the formation and development of statistics in Russia as a science, and also took an active part in the development of Russian state statistics, leading in 1811 the Statistical Office under the Ministry of Police. Thanks to the work of Herman, there was a departure in the statistics from classical state studies (the German descriptive school), a close interconnection of statistics and political economy was shown. Through the works of Herman, new and progressive ideas from the West penetrated into Russia, as evidenced by the publication of the «Statistical Journal» (1806–1808). Refs 47.

Special attention is paid to disclosure of the functioning market relations in the sphere of culture and first of all to the specifics of the art works as commodities, the nature of their use-value and price. The authors show that the products of cultural sphere have special social importance, as well as special social function, and therefore there is a contradiction between economic and social nature of cultural goods. The resolution of this contradiction is one of the issues of the governmental policy in the cultural field with a view to the process of commodification, which increases as well as the penetration of commodity relations in the cultural sphere, but could not reach the absolute level.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article describes the economic-mathematical model of reflexive selection of implicit indicators of management activities of the organization in the framework of the classical approach implemented by R. Kaplan and D. Norton. According to the constructed model of the whole system of balanced performance indicators of the organization is represented in the form of the causal field, the structure of which contains three submodels: “implicit indicators”, “indirect indicators” “key performance indicators”. This representation allows not only to find the implicit performance of the organization in implementation of strategic goals, but to balance the total number of indicators, strategic maps, to estimate the strength of relations between indicators of submodels and within on the basis of fuzzy set theory, to justify and agree on their quantitative changes. The author gives an example application of the described approach based on the developed strategy map, ITERUS, Ltd and describes an information technology to automate the process of applying the model, presented in the form of a web service “Finding implicit parameters”.

dc.description.abstract

value: Customer orientation in the emerging markets and its specifics represent a separate field within the marketing research. The purpose of this paper is to explore the real or declared nature of customer orientation of companies operating in the Russian market as an example of the emerging economy. The paper introduces the customer oriented business process original framework, developed on the basis of existing research analyses. The objective of this research is met by conducting empirical test of existence or absence of customer oriented business processes within companies. To reveal the existence or absence of customer oriented business processes, 61 indepth interviews with representatives of the companies operating in the Russian market have been conducted. The interviews have been analyzed applying a content analysis, which allows systematic study of the semantic data received from in-depth interviews. A mixed-method approach is applied to investigate in detail the specifics of customer orientation of Russian companies. The findings indicate the declared nature of customer orientation in the Russian market as the customer orientation values are often just declared by companies, but still there is a lack of customer oriented business processes needed for its real implementation. Research limitations include the limitations of the qualitative method approach. The sample of 61 companies cannot be representative for the whole general population of Russian companies. The paper provides researchers and practitioners with the insights into customer orientation specifics existing in the Russian market. This paper sheds the light on the specifics characteristics of customer orientation in the Russian market named declared customer orientation. This notion is helpful for foreign companies entering the Russian market. The previous research has shown that the customer orientation concept is not well-studied in the context of the emerging Russian market. This analysis proves that the declared but not the real nature of customer orientation exists in the Russian market.

The article substantiates that the use of roads and bridges called for the formation of specific tools of transport payments. The paper systemizes the key negative externalities of car use that need to correct through transport tax. The authors suggest six most relevant classifications of transport payments, which are essential for the purposes of analysis and comparison.
The article substantiates that through the simultaneous implementation of fiscal and regulatory functions, the transport payments embody the idea of double dividend, where environmentally oriented behavior of car owners will be accompany by the formation of stable revenue sources for road construction and environmental protection. The work offers principles of building optimal system of transport payments consisting of well-known and new principles. The article further develops the benefit principle in transport payments as well as the social optimum principle. In addition, it provides definitions for original principles identified by the author: the principle of comprehensiveness, the principle of differentiation, principle of payment collection at time of service, and the principle of designation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the speech representation of creative personality in the obituary. It is noted that
journalists actively exploited the image of outstanding contemporary in order to establish a high social
value of human-creator as a patriot and the creator of a great national culture. To identify the compositional
types of the text is introduced the concept of communicative scenario as a combination of
communicative actions, ordered in accordance with the algorithm of speech behavior. Based on the
analysis of journalistic texts we highlight several communicative scenarios for assessing the person —
commemorative dedication, obituary and dedication “to the hero of event”. Intentionality of each type
of texts includes information about biography, portrait description, explanation of aesthetic evaluation
of creative way, social assessment of the person. Details are considered to stylistic and speech features
of presentation the individual in the texts of “obituary” scenario. The study shows that obituary distinguishes
by the tone of sorrow and regret. The organizing principle of the text is the bitterness of the loss
of man — the carrier of national culture, a leitmotif through all the narrative passes the inability and
unwillingness to believe in the reality of what has happened. The article detailed investigation exposed
speech mechanisms of transition from the tone of sorrow and regret to the assertion of eternal life: a
great man does not die, he continues to live in his works, in the memoirs of contemporaries, “eternity”.
It notes the particular importance of verb forms: predominant verbs in past perfect tense marking the
irreversible loss and change of forms of the present and future tenses throughout the text is determined
by the deployment of the keynote of eternal life. Refs 27.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The rise of China on the world stage is accompanied by unprecedented challenges, including prejudice
against the country and the lack of understanding of the global community. China needs to unite all
its forces to implement its dream. With the rapid development of China, it is particularly necessary to
convey its peaceful intentions to the international community by developing public diplomacy of the
“first lady”. Theoretically, the research uses the definition of the public diplomacy and identifies the key
characteristics of soft power, especially its use in China’s foreign policy.
Although the first ladies rarely participate directly in the international negotiations, they can
communicate openly with the public of other countries to discuss culture, tourism, public service
and promote understanding. Chinese and foreign media have unanimously recognized the unique
capabilities of the first lady and emphasized her dignified behaviour, impeccable taste, skills and
achievements in music. This can make Peng Liyuan an important part of the “soft power”.
The empirical part of the study is based on the analysis of the texts covering the activities of the first
lady published by the leading foreign publishing houses and news agencies. Refs 10.

dc.description.abstract

value: Despite predictions of the classic, hybrid-sterility model of chromosomal speciation, some organisms demonstrate high rate of karyotype evolution. This rate is especially impressive in Agrodiaetus butterflies that rapidly evolved the greatest chromosome number diversity known in animal kingdom within a single subgenus. Here we analyzed karyotype evolution in Agrodiaetus using phylogenetic comparative methods. We found that chromosome numbers possess a strong phylogenetic signal. This disproves the chromosome megaevolution model that proposes multiple chromosome rearrangements to accumulate independently in each of closely related species. We found that Brownian motion gives a more adequate description of observed trait changes than Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model. This indicates that chromosome numbers evolve via random walk along branches of the phylogeny. We discovered a correlation between karyotype changes and phylogeny branch lengths. This gradual pattern is inconsistent with the hybrid-sterility model which, due to association of major chromosome changes with cladogenetic events, predicts a high degree of punctualism in karyotype evolution. Thus, low underdominace of chromosomal rearrangements and/or prevalence of the recombination-suppression model over the hybrid-sterility model of chromosome speciation are the most common engines of the runaway chromosome number change observed.

dc.description.abstract

value: Development of novel membranes with optimal performance, selectivity, and stability is a key research area in membrane technology. In the present work aromatic polyamidoimideurea (PAIU) is synthesized and tested as promising membrane material for separation of water and alcohol mixtures. The PAIU membrane structure, density, and transport properties are studied. Mass transfer of water and isopropanol through the membrane is estimated by sorption and pervaporation tests to determine equilibrium sorption degree, diffusion coefficients, flux through the membrane, and separation factor. Two techniques of sorption study from liquid and from vapor phases are used as novel approach to experimental study of mass transfer. The vapor sorption calorimetry permits to analyze the behavior of the polymer material in sorption process. In pervaporation of water-isopropanol mixture, almost pure water mainly permeates through PAIU membrane. To improve the performance, a double layer membrane containing a thin PAIU layer on the surface of porous poly(phenylene oxide) support is developed. The double layer membrane is extremely effective in dehydration of isopropanol.

Концепция стандартизации трудовых процессов в ведущих отраслях национальной экономики в настоящее время вступила в стадию перехода от теории к практике. Сформированы принципы стандартизации, внесены соответствующие изменения и дополнения в Трудовой кодекс Российской Федерации, разработаны и  утверждены сотни профессиональных стандартов, осуществляется их внедрение в реальную практику промышленных предприятий. Тем не менее со стороны работодателей задается множество вопросов как
по процедуре внедрения профессиональных стандартов, так и по их содержанию и объективности. Учитывая данное обстоятельство, авторы предприняли попытку рассмотреть применимость утвержденного профессионального стандарта в отношении сотрудников конструкторского бюро и предложить альтернативные варианты его содержания. В качестве методического средства объективации профессиональных стандартов авторами предложен метод определения трудовых действий сотрудников на основе разработанной оптимальной модели должностных обязанностей, использованной ими при исследовании функционала инженеров и специалистов конструкторского бюро. Это, в свою очередь, позволит формировать реально работающий перечень трудовых действий с определением сферы их применения для дальнейшего использования при создании профессиональных стандартов.

dc.description.abstract

value: Proteins perform their functions in solution but their structures are most frequently studied inside crystals. Here we probe how the crystal packing alters microsecond dynamics, using solid-state NMR measurements and multi-microsecond MD simulations of different crystal forms of ubiquitin. In particular, near-rotary-resonance relaxation dispersion (NERRD) experiments probe angular backbone motion, while Bloch-McConnell relaxation dispersion data report on fluctuations of the local electronic environment. These experiments and simulations reveal that the packing of the protein can significantly alter the thermodynamics and kinetics of local conformational exchange. Moreover, we report small-amplitude reorientational motion of protein molecules in the crystal lattice with an ~3-5° amplitude on a tens-of-microseconds time scale in one of the crystals, but not in others. An intriguing possibility arises that overall motion is to some extent coupled to local dynamics. Our study highlights the importance of considering the packing when analyzing dynamics of crystalline proteins.X-ray crystallography is the main method for protein structure determination. Here the authors combine solid-state NMR measurements and molecular dynamics simulations and show that crystal packing alters the thermodynamics and kinetics of local conformational exchange as well as overall rocking motion of protein molecules in the crystal lattice.

dc.description.abstract

value: This study provides further insight into the molecular mechanisms that control neurotransmitter release. Experiments were performed on larval neuromuscular junctions of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster lines with different levels of human amyloid precursor protein (APP) production. To express human genes in motor neurons of Drosophila, the UAS-GAL4 system was used. Human APP gene expression increased the number of synaptic boutons per neuromuscular junction. The total number of active zones, detected by Bruchpilot protein puncta distribution, remained unchanged; however, the average number of active zones per bouton decreased. These disturbances were accompanied by a decrease in frequency of miniature excitatory junction potentials without alteration in random nature of spontaneous quantal release. Similar structural and functional changes were observed with co-overexpression of human APP and β-secretase genes. In Drosophila line with expression of human amyloid-β42 peptide itself, parameters analyzed did not differ from controls, suggesting the specificity of APP effects.These results confirm the involvement of APP in synaptogenesis and provide evidence to suggest that human APP overexpression specifically disturbs the structural and functional organization of active zone and results in altered Bruchpilot distribution and lowered probability of spontaneous neurotransmitter release.

value: It is known that structure of the interface between inorganic nanoparticles and polymers significantly influences properties of a polymer–inorganic composite. At the same time, amount of experimental researches on the structure and properties of material near the inorganic-polymer interface is low. In this work, we report for the first time the investigation of nanomechanical properties and maps of adhesion of material near the inorganic-polymer interface for the polyheteroarylene nanocomposites based on semi-crystalline poly[4,4′-bis (4″-aminophenoxy)diphenyl]imide 1,3-bis (3′,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) benzene, modified by ZrO2 nanostars. Experiments were conducted using quantitative nanomechanical mapping (QNM) mode of atomic force microscopy (AFM) at the surface areas where holes were formed after falling out of inorganic particles. It was found that adhesion of AFM cantilever to the polymer surface is higher inside the hole than outside. This can be attributed to the presence of polar groups near ZrO2 nanoparticle. QNM measurements revealed that polymer matrix has increased rigidity in the vicinity of the nanoparticles. Influence of ZrO2 nanoparticles on the structure and thermal properties of semi-crystalline polyheteroarylene matrix was studied with wide-angle X-ray scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry.

В настоящее время проблема регламентации труда инженеров-проектировщиков
на основе создания нормативных моделей деятельности является важным направлением современной теории и практики нормирования трудовых процессов. В качестве методического средства построения таких моделей,
в числе прочих, авторами предлагается использовать метод построения
инструкционных карт, регламентирующих конкретные трудовые функции
должности. С одной стороны, это позволяет стандартизировать трудовые
процессы инженеров конструкторского бюро и, тем самым, определить
способы совершенствования организации труда для данной категории
работников. С другой  – определить неэффективные затраты рабочего
времени и способы их оптимизации.

The events of the fall of 2014 in the Russian currency market forced Bank of Russia to change the exchange
rate regime in the national economy. In this study we show that in 2014 the regulator was trying to protect ruble (the Russian national currency) against a massive speculative attack, actively spending its international reserves, but the interventions proved quite ineffective. Moreover, the peculiarity of the structure of these reserves dictated a very limited range of maneuver for the central bank, forcing it to switch to the free floating exchange rate regime in the first half of November, 2014 – an important event, which, actually, could have been predicted by the lay experts on the basis of publically available information and application of simple econometric models. Noteworthy to say that, although not expectedly to the lay population, this switch of the exchange rate regime was done by Bank of Russia quite timely.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The attempt to present a generalized pattern of modern trends, methods and means of technological
research of historical papers is undertaken in this work for the first time in Russian historiography.
The border of “modernity” in technological research of paper-based historical documents is conventionally
identified having regard to the breakthrough in evolution of techniques and their large-scale
accessibility for investigation of archival and museum objects, that had started approximately in the
mid-1990s.
The ground of this publication is the review of the Congress Books of International Association
of Paper Historians (IPH) published in the last 20 years. IPH is the most credible world organization in
its field, the activities of which undoubtedly reflect the basic vectors of development of investigations
in studying the history of paper, paper technology and paper production. This association is unique in
the geographical scope of institutions and individuals as well as in the wide range of problems of the
history of paper and technology being considered by its members.
The article is intended primarily for source studying historians, whose work requires careful
investigation of the paper of historical documents. Unfortunately, this category of experts in its overwhelming
majority still does not have the necessary conception of the challenges and opportunities
of modern technological investigation of historical papers. Nevertheless, information capacity of such
investigation is significant, and the present-day source studying historian is just required to have at
least general knowledge of it. This review focuses on correcting the existing situation in the information
support for paper studying in the system of special historical disciplines. Refs 48.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The monograph by A. Yu. Dvornichenko, analyzed in this article focuses on one of the most difficult
and controversial problems of historical science: the historiography of Eastern Slavic politogenesis.
The author unfolds before the readers’ eyes a majestic and epochal historiographic canvas, unprecedented
in its chronology (from the ancient scribes to the present day) and in comprehensiveness of the
material (involving almost all relevant for the theme by Russian researchers and a significant body of
foreign studies). A. Yu. Dvornichenko managed to accessibly and vividly deal with many difficult questions
of politogenesis, making the book read in one breath, as an exciting “historical novel”. With this
aim, apparently, the author selected corresponding images: mirrors (historiography) and Chimeras
(fruitless and concepts harmful to science). However, this formulation led to the main drawback of the monograph: A. Y. Dvornichenko does not so much try to reconstruct an objective historiographical
picture as he battles chimeras, which are “customized” to those research activities and works that do
not agree with “the democratic concept of politogenesis” upheld by the author. Another criteria for a
positive appreciation of the work of researchers is their denial of the presence of the state in pre-Mongol
Russia. As a consequence, this limits the main conclusion of the work in which the main paradigm
of development of the historiography of Ancient Russian politogenesis was “the move from a monarchical
to the democratic idea”. This case, as shown in this article, is actually a concept of A. Y. Dvornichenko
far from “democratic”, as his extremely simplified understanding of the state and reluctance
to explain to the reader how the hierarchical strategy as proposed by the author was transformed into
heterarchial one, and then again into a hierarchical one.
A special source of bewilderment is the way A. Y. Dvornichenko addresses his opponents, an approach
which often boils down to a simple postulation of their opinions and ridicule, but not to refute,
the concepts of the opponents. Refs 16.

The present article draws the history of how the seal casts collection of the National Archives of Belgium
(NAB) was created and accumulated in the course of the years and gives a short presentation
of the cast production process. This first section is followed by a short overview of the collection as
such and how it was digitised and published online from 2009 to 2015. This article will give technical
information about casting methods and highlight the process of casting production. We will explain
which periods were the most successful for the production of castings and why. Many reasons explain
why this campaign of reproduction did not follow the same rhythm over the last 150 years. Explaining
our digitalization of the castings is primarily aimed at offering a methodological reflexion for those
who want to embark on a similar project. Finally, the seal matrices collection and the 3D-digitisation
project that started in January 2015 will be presented. This project is technically innovative as it uses
3D digitalization. We will demonstrate that it leads to interesting findings which could involve other
Belgian federal institutions or any institution keeping a collection of matrix seals. Refs 17.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents the currently important sources for studying Russian emigration to Italy after
1918. During the 1920s — 1930s and after the Second World War the most important funds of documents
were being formed in Italy and in Russia as well. These funds include not only the correspondence
between emigrants or their private documents, but the materials about emigrants’ social
and economic standing abroad. It is important to determine what funds and documents in Italian
and Russian archives contain nowadays necessary and unpublished information for the future study
of Russian emigrants’ history in Italy. Through the example of three large archives — Central State
Archive of Rome, Roman Archive of Vyacheslav Ivanov, State Archive of Russian Federation — are
chosen the archival documents. Its analysis is currently central for the future studying of the theme.
The Central State Archive of Rome stores the materials about cultural contacts of the URSS and Italy in
the mid-1930s, in particular, about the XIII International Congress of Architects in Rome. Roman Archive
of Vyacheslav Ivanov has a significant amount of correspondence of one of the most important
representatives of Russian emigration to Italy. On the basis of these documents we can select the circle
of the main Ivanov’s correspondents, as well as the themes of the key figures’ of Russian culture in exile
correspondence. From the materials of the State Archive of the Russian Federation it is important to
analyze the documents from the fund of the historian E. F. Shmurlo, especially his social activity in
Rome (in particular, the fate of “Russian academic group” in Rome). In addition, the archive contains
documents describing the attempts of Russian immigrants to unite under the social and public organizations
in Italy, to be absorbed in the Italian socio-cultural context. In general, the further analysis of
the documentation of the Russian and Italian archives is necessary for the study of cultural transfer between
the USSR and Italy, one of the most important trends of the modern study of the topic. Refs 16.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents the results of codicological and content analysis of one Low German prayer book
within the common context of devotional culture at the turn of 16th century. The period of 1470–
1525 is one in which a great many new Catholic prayers were composed. The religious processes happening
in Germany at that time are reflected in the handwritten prayer books. Prayer books followed
clearly the main trends of the religious consciousness of society and just as clearly point to the changes
occurring in them. This statement is supported by five German-speaking prayer books of the National
Library of Russia which were created in the second half of the 15th– the first third of the 16th century.
The article investigates one of them, the prayer book Ms. F. 955, Op. 2, No. 51. The manuscript consists
of ten blocks of paper, concluded together in the late 15th century; the сodicological structure is
determined by the types of paper and handwritten scripts. The analysis of the manuscript Ms. F. 955,
Op. 2, No. 51 shows that in terms of content, it is a typical German vernacular prayer book from the
second half of the 15th to the beginning of thee 16th century: prayers and columns are written in the
folk language, some Latin words indicate only habitual prayer titles familiar to the ear: Pater noster, Ave
Maria; the prayer book is Christo- and Mary- centric, it contains apocryphal legends about St. Anna as
well as the prayers to her. Prayers to the other Saints are not numerous.
In terms of its codicological structure and content, this manuscript is a typical example of inexpensive
paper prayer books. This type is characterized by the frugal decor, vernacular language and
numerous textual additions (often, very extensive) made by the owners according to their religious
preferences and ideas.
In contrast, the expensive codices were written in the same hand and were richly illuminated.
They are characterized by the precise order of devotional texts and the presence of specific components
of breviaries: the liturgical calendar, penitential psalms, litanies to the Saints. Refs 27.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the theme of the history of Decembrism in the works of
G. V. Vernadsky. The study of freemasonry in the Catherine’s epoch led Vernadsky to the history of
secret lodges of the beginning of the 19th century, and they, in turn, being the initial page of the history
of Decembrism, attracted his attention to the study of secret societies. Unfortunately, the pivotal years
of the civil war and the ordeals of relocation did not permit G. V. Vernadsky to complete the work on
this topic by monographic research. But according to the surviving materials, we see that his observations
became an organic continuation of the pre-revolutionary historiographic tradition within which
he was formed. He proposed his own outline of the evolution of the political thinking of the figures
of the secret society and analyzed the features of the ideological struggle within the framework of the
Decembrist organizations. He appealed to the important problem of the influence of governmental
constitutionalism on the formation of the program documents of the Decembrists. After emigration,
the historian’s scientific interests shift toward ancient Russian history. Nevertheless, in works of different
years he addresses to the Decembrist subjects. In the postwar period, he makes a public lecture, the
text of which is published as an annex to the proposed article. This text can be dated to the year 1947.
The historian aspires to assess the place of the Decembrists in Russian history. It shows how significant
and crucial the epoch for the development of the country was the first quarter of the 19th century. And
in conclusion he offers his listener to imagine: how would history have gone if the Decembrists had
won? Refs 23.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of the article the examination of a unique source — the illustrated Chronicle of celestial
phenomena, compiled in Kazan in the early 17th century. Currently only three monuments of medieval
chronicles with illustrations are known : Radziwill Chronicle, Illustrated Chronicle Code and
Remezov Chronicle. Researchers have been introduced to these chronicles in the 18th century. Now
they have been published in facsimile and comprehensively investigated. The illustrated chronicles are
extremely rare so an unknown one has a great value. Thus the Chronicle of Celestial Phenomena from
the collection of the Russian Academy of Sciences Library is one of the rare monuments of medieval
literature. The Chronicle is significantly different from the other well-known illustrated chronicles
primarily to the fact, that its author was only interested in astronomical and atmospheric phenomena
observed in Russia from ancient times to the middle of the 16th century: comets, solar and lunar eclipses,
meteors, halo, parhelia, etc. The author carefully sketched all these occurrences. The character of
the images resembles that of drawings or diagrams. The author was interested in astronomy, so the
Chronicle indicates the origination of the natural sciences in Russia at the beginning of the 17th century.
The study of the Chronicle will reveal a new source for research of the initial phase of astronomy
and physics in Russia. An important area in the study of the illuminated Chronicle is the analysis of
the content and features of the text. Its sources were Russian chronicles of the 16th century though the
Chronicle is doubtless private. The latest and most unusual recordings were made during the reign of
the False Dmitry I. Thus, this Chronicle reflects the termination of the all-Russian chronicle tradition,
peculiar to the second half of the 16th century. The article is devoted to the iconography of the illustrated
‘Chronicle of the celestial phenomena’. It was done with description and analysis of the miniatures.
They were compared with the miniatures of Illustrated Chronicles of the 16th century, as well as with
images from M. Belsky’s and C. Lycosthen’s Chronicles. It was proved that miniatures of the Illustrated
chronicle were influenced by the engravings of Lycosthen’s Chronicles. Its translation was prepared
in Moscow in 1599. Separate miniatures of the Illustrated chronicle were influenced by engravings of
M. Belsky’s Chronicle. Refs 22.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The illuminations of the Christian Topography were depicted in the 6th century by the author of this
cosmological treatise, known under the pseudonym Kosmas Indikopleustes. If his identity still remains
uncertain along with other facts of his life, we know from his own words that his doctrine derives from
the commentary on the Exodus by the bishop of Persia Mar Aba I (540–552). He used this knowledge
of a large repertory of cosmological and biblical illuminations actually conserved only in the three
extant manuscripts of the Christian Topography: the more ancient one in the Vatican Library, others
in the Monastery of Saint Catherine at Sinai and in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence.
Though the presence of the twelve springs of Moses in these illuminations, conserved in the
latter two manuscripts, has already been interpreted as a consequence of Jewish tradition, this contribution,
written in collaboration between an art historian and an expert in Syriac sources, offers a new
interpretation of the illumination of the third stage of the Israelites’ journey in the desert. It is based
on a fragment of the teaching of Mar Aba, conserved in the Commentary of the Exodus of Isho‘dad of
Merv, a Christian bishop lived in the 9th century, never compared before with the illuminations of the
Christian Topography. This source clarifies the genesis of the iconography, shading new light on these
illuminations, which represent the witnesses of an oral source involving many exegetical traditions.

The article describes the context in which Caspar von Münster wrote his pamphlet (the so-called
“Verteidigungsschriftˮ). The author was landmarshal of the Teutonic Order in Livonia. It was published
in 1556 during the time of the so-called “Coadjutors’ Warˮ. Attention is paid not only to the context
of the creation of this source and its author, but to pamphlet’s publisher. The fact that it was Johann
Daubmann, a typographer of the Prussian Duke Albrecht of Brandenburg-Ansbach, emphasizes the
connection between the publication of pamphlets and political interests of the rulers of the neighbouring
lands of the Order in Livonia, for example the Duke of Prussia, the King of Poland and Grand Duke
of Lithuania. This pamphlet showed internal conflicts in the Teutonic order. A lesser part of this article
directs attention to the dating of pamphlet publication. One part of this pamphlet was a letter was written
by the landmarshal to the Livonian landmaster Heinrich von Galen. Identified copies of this letter
provoke further questions. The first question is about two copies in the archives of the Duke of Prussia.
It was made before sending the letter to the Landmaster. Was one of these Münster’s draft document,
which he later may have given to the Duke of Prussia, and then later to the press? Not less important is
the answer to the question of whether this pamphlet drew a wide response or not. One reason for this
question is the publication in 1557 of a pamphlet in Daubmann’s printing press, but in Latin. Refs 37.

A. I. Filyushkin’s book (2013) is devoted to Russia’s participation in the Livonian War of 1558–
1583 years. Its author claims a new approach to the study of traditional research the so-called Baltic
question. A. I. Filyushkin regards the question about the purpose of the Livonian War to be instrumental. The author believes that Russia did not wage war for access to the Baltic Sea, since she already
had a lot of sea coast with the most convenient access to the sea, as the river Neva. The author believes
that “in the 16th century Russian nobility led war for land, for the seizure of new territories, which later
followed the Local distribution”. A. I. Filyushkin came to the conclusion that Russia’s rulers just do not
want to develop trade on the Russian ships in the Baltic Sea. Russians did not know “what to do with
the sea”. They built coastal forts, but not commercial ports. Russian received merchant ships in Narva
during the Livonian War but did not mount their own Baltic sea voyages. According to the author of
the review, the findings of A. I. Filyushkin are purely speculative, based on a selective analysis of some
of the facts. The author picks and chooses the facts of history, then developing his own “discourse” on
this basis comes to “innovative” conclusions. Those facts and research findings which contradict the
conclusions obtained in this way are ignored or dismissed with some witty remark without a thorough
analysis. Thus the author gives generalized significance to the obtained conclusions. The author believes
that the “innovation” on the part of A. I. Filyushkin is the result of ignoring the achievements
Russian historiography in the 18th to the 21st — a significant step back in the development of Russian
historical science. Refs 23.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article describes the 15th century copies of “Dioptra” by Philip Solitarius from the Kirillo-Belozersky
Monastery. “Dioptra” by Philip Solitarius was one of the most popular translations in the history
of Russian-Slavic literature. Its translation from Greek was made in the middle of the 14th century in Mount Athos or in Bulgaria. The Translation of “Dioptra” became known in Russia quickly. The paper
is based on the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery’s 15th century book inventory. The Inventory consists
of three parts: inventory, provisional (roughing) inventory and finishing inventory. All three parts
are preserved in the one 15th century manuscript. (National Library of Russia, St. Cyril-Belozersky
collection, № 101/1178). The manuscript belonged to the disciple of Nil Sorsky, Herman Podolny. The
script of the manuscripts is analyzed and it is concluded that the parchment manuscript “Dioptra”
(National Library of Russia, OSRK, F. p.I. 43) was re-written by two scribes. The article contains the
list of another scribes’ autographs. It is hypothesized that the manuscript was commissioned by St.
Cyril in Moscow. The manuscript of “Dioptra” rewritten by sacristan Oleshko Pavlov in 1426 (State
Historical Museum, collection Uvarov, № 369–4°) is also analyzed in the paper. Another manuscript of
“Dioptra” (National Library of Russia, St. Cyril-Belozersk collection, № 20/1097) belonged to a monk
of Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, Ignatius Matveyev. Ignatius was one of the monastery’s most respected
monks in the middle of the 15th century. He repeatedly concluded legal transactions on behalf of
Kirillo-Belozersky monastery during the abbacy of Trifon and Cassian (1530–60s). Probably before
he became a monk, he had had a high social status. The monk had his own collection of books. The
monastery inventory of the 1480s contain descriptions of three manuscripts belonging to Ignatius
Matveyev. Arguments for the fact that the manuscript was copied in Moscow about 1448 are made by
author of the article. Refs 18.

In the author’s opinion, the main paradox of the Athenaion Politeia (‘The Constitution of the Athenians’)
consists in the fact that its author endeavoured to соmbine two opposite positions: those of
а critic and apologist of Athenian democracy. Firstly, not only is the structure of the text aimed at making
an apology for democracy, but the greatest part of the argument is devoted to justifying the most
controversial aspects of democratic rule. Consequently, in spite of its apparently ideological ambiguity,
the author’s main ideological trend is quite evident in the Athenaion Politeia. Secondly, this work well
matches the context of contemporary sophistic rhetoric and sympotic literature, for in these genres
the author was expected to take opposite positions alternately. Thirdly, it is quite possible that аt that
period two ideologies could have coexisted in the same mind: old aristocratic values, based upon ethical
postulates, and а new democratic ideology, based upon pragmatic principles. In such а situation
political thinking and patriotism could naturally lead to victory of the new ideology, as it is attested
in the Athenaion Politeia. The author concludes that Pseudo-Xenophon should be regarded as neither
a “youngˮ, nor an “oldˮ oligarch, but rather а democrat of aristocratic or oligarchic origin. Refs 47.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the very difficult task of identifying, archiving and organising disparate and,
for the most part, incomplete archives of Finnish extreme nationalist movements of the interwar period
and the Second World War, in the other words, in the First Republic of Finland (1919–1944). The
most important of these organisations can be considered to be The Lapua Movement (1929–1932) and
its successor, The Patriotic People’s Movement (IKL) (1932–1944) and the Academic Karelia Society
(1922–1944).
National questions, becoming quite important in the first half of the 20th century, become in
modern Finland all the more important in terms of their scientific research. Their study is already
absolutely necessary for the full and complete understanding of the events in Finland of that period. In
this connection it is quite revealing that in the first decades after the Second World War studying the
history of the Finnish right nationalist radicalism rarely attracted researchers, as the political situation
in the country did not allow an objective reconstruction of the history of the losing side. The situation
was also affected by the inaccessibility of many archival documents. The history of the Finnish right
nationalist radicalism of the interwar period is still not enough studied both in Russian and in Finnish
and in world historiography.
Сonsidering the problem of the history of right-wing nationalist movement in Finland it can be
argued that, along with the importance of this research to explain the policy of 1920s-1930s Finland,
as well as the problem of the country’s participation in World War II on the side of Nazi Germany,
there are still quite good prospects for the study proposed here. Moreover, it is possible to hope that
the answers to urgent questions can mainly be found in the materials of the Finnish archives. Refs 31.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This review represents a monograph by Andrei Dvornichenko Yurievich professor of St. Petersburg
State University, Doctor of History. His work is dedicated to a historiographical analysis of a significant
number of works regarding the Russian medieval period and problems related to the genesis of the
social and political structure of Ancient Rus’. The attention of researcher was concentrated not only on
the evolution of historians’ opinions in regard to topical questions about the progress of society and
government of the Eastern Slavs, but also at unreasonable, as the researcher maintains, stereotyped
representations, established in national historiography. The author has relied on metaphors that quite
accurately reflect the idea of work that was conceived and realized to present his ideas. As a result,
the monograph demonstrates original means of analysing historical concepts and offers an informal
view of the historian’s work to its readers. This work is very valuable because at this moment it is the only monograph that reviews controversial aspects of modern historiography dedicated to the history
of Ancient Rus’. The same interest represents an emotional part of the text that sincerely and openly
reflects uneasy relations within scientific and teaching institutions and research centers. Such circumstances
add unquestionable uniqueness to this work. Many of the author’s comments are arguable but
he definitively identifies the most critical moments of modern historical research on both conceiving
the field of studying mediaeval Rus’ and national historians’ works in common. His work is an invitation
to conversation. Many conclusions of Professor A. Dvornichenko are disappointing but the fact
they are reflected in a significant body research brings hope that crisis in modern Russian science will
be resolved. Refs 9.

dc.description.abstract

value:
André Vaillant, who resolved numerous problems around the Old Slavic version of the Byzantine “romantic
epic” Digenis Akritis, claimed that it was not a translation, but “un récit libre d’après une version
grecque du poème.” Indeed, in its “folklorism” and epic severity, the Slavic Digenis diverges radically
from any extant Greek text, especially its closest relation, the highly romanticized Grottaferrata version.
In many places where the Slavic Digenis diverges from the Greek versions, its compiler makes use
of oral-traditional formulas or themes found in the Greek and South Slavic oral traditions: the Akritika
or ballads of the Byzantine border guards, the Marko Kraljević cycle. Is the Slavic Digenis, radically
transformed by oral-formulaic composition, a translation? Vernacular translators of the European Renaissance
such as Louis Le Roy granted “the rhetorical resources of the target language … at the very
least, ‘equivalent weight’ to those of the source text” (Kenneth Lloyd-Jones), while philologist-translators
into Latin such as Henri Estienne (Stephanus) privileged the source language (Greek) and its
resources. By analogy, the “rhetorical” oral-formulaicism of the Slavic Digenis may be distinguished
from the literalism of “philological” translators of the Euthymian school. Refs 31.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the corpus of West European seal matrices kept at the Scientific Archives of St.
Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Previously, they were part of a
collection of academician N. P. Likhachev (1862–1936). In the course of attribution we have found
three matrices which seem to be absolutely identical to those from the museum collection in the town
of Bassano del Grappa, Italy, which previously belonged to the Count Antonio Maria Luigi Calzamatta
(1827–1905). This enabled a clarification of the earlier history of the two collections, which proved
a genealogical connection with the collection of Count Giovanni Lazzara (1621–1690). This collection
was so well known that Christina, Queen of Sweden, wanted to buy it. Evidently after the death
of Giovanni Lazzara collection was sold to the Cabinet of Louis XIV (The Cabinet of medals of the
French National Library). However, this theory is not justified. In another version the collection was
bought by Nicolas-Joseph Foucault (1643–1721), politician and honorary member of the Academy of
Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres. After changing several owners, Foucault’s collection came in 1727 in
the cabinet of medals, except the seals. At the same time, some of the matrices from Lazzara’s collection
are kept nowadays in the Bottacin Museum in Padua. Most likely, the seals did not leave Italy, and
N. P. Lihachev acquired his matrices there, but not in France. Since he visited Italy often in person,
there are no traces of this acquisition in his archives.
A brief excursus in the history of the St. Petersburg collection revealed that some of the matrices
have survived in two or even three copies. Since a matrix is with only rare exceptions a unique object,
the need to verify the authenticity of the matrices became evident. The matrix of Ottokar II, King of
Bohemia, was chosen for analysis. Based on the comparison with available images of his stamps, measurements
and the study of the reverse of the matrix, it was concluded that we are probably dealing
with a copy made in the second half of the 19th century by scientists or antiques dealers. Refs 39.

value:
The purpose of this article is expressed in that the developments of academic jurists and the comparative
analysis of the national legal system of member states of the Euroasian Economic Union may establish the place of labour codes in systems of the labour legislation of the above-mentioned countries.
The main method used in the paper is that of comparative legal analysis. Оn the basis of the revealed
signs, the author formulates the determination of the labour code, determines its place in system of
the labour legislation of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia, identifies problems of
comparison and contradictions between the labour codes and other regulatory legal acts adopted in
Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia, and poses suggestions for the improvement of
separate regulations of the labour codes accepted in state members of the Euroasian Economic Union.
The article’s conclusion presents the main conceptual idea of the need to harmonize labour law for
state members of the Euroasian economic union and fix for all five codes of labour regulation in the
national systems of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. According to the author,
the labour codes of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia shall have priority in relation
to all other laws (except constitutional), standard to legal acts of the President and the Government
even if in a national system of law they are given legal force of the law. Refs 28.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper criticizes the fact that the last of several Italian insolvency law reforms exhibits an utter lack
of demonstrated interest — a principle feature of any legislation that deals with the business crisis.
The directors’ liability of insolvent companies has historically been one of the weakest points of Italian
regulation for its very low enforceability. On the contrary, other EU jurisdictions (France and Spain)
pay much attention to the efficacy of directors’ misconduct not only through specific forms of liabilities
which make simpler the recovery of the damages caused to the company, but also through different
and effective solutions (i. e., Disqualification) which impede wrongdoers from engaging in reckless
behavior and wrongful conduct in future (UK, Ireland, Norway). The primacy of self-regulation in
insolvency matters and the lack of adequate regulatory responses may go on to stimulate the efficiency
and the integrity of Italian Insolvency system. Refs 8.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Examining theses about the nature of the concepts “cognition” and “proof of criminal procedure”, the
author refutes the understanding of the latter as a species of cognition which has remained since Soviet
times. The author believes this detail sets a strong cornerstone for adopting epistemological theses into
the proof of criminal procedure. If this step is absent, it shall be impossible to think of forming rules of
making the cognitive and prognostic criminal procedure decisions as pre-developed by K. V. Skoblik.
The criminal procedure form does not have a specific character in order to create proofs of criminal
procedure as the species of cognition. This statement is also argued in the article. The subordination
between these concepts is based on nonessential features. If we use essential features, these concepts
will be identical. Consequently, the criminal procedural form must not ignore objective laws of cognition
so we must construct it using these laws. Thereupon, the discrepancies of Russian CrPC towards
understanding proving as cognition are shown in the academic paper.
The historical method, methods of definitional concepts and division of concepts were applied by
K. V. Skoblik in the current research. Refs 26.

court hearing while applying custodial measure were examined. This work voices the opinion that

institutionalized and a corps of investigating judges must be formed. It is being explained the suggestion
to commute a sentence with a primary applying as “1 month detention”. The article was also
arrives at a conclusion that the prosecutor’s task in applying a measure of restraint in juridical procedure
is the supervisory action over the criminal procedural law while applying a measure of restraint;
however a prosecutor’s attitude can be developed only during the court hearing after both sides’ arguments
and elements of claims will be heard. A prosecutor, through his overriding concern in applying
a measure of restraint, lies under the obligation to take part in the trial discussing this question but he is not bound by an investigator’s opinion and has a right, if eligible, not to support his application. A
prosecutor does not provide a criminal prosecution function in pre-trial criminal procedure. Refs 8.

This article is the first part of research into vindication. The second part will focus on the analysis of

Federation unreasonably found inadmissible some constitutional claims of citizens who challenged
vindication related to provisions of the Civil Code of Russia. Actual practice of the court on this issue is
assessed as contradictory, which has both positive and negative elements. When a positive assessment of the new clarification of the Supreme Court regarding bona fide purchaser criteria is examined, it is
criticized for the lack of attention to the initiation of the correction to new provisions of Art 200.1 of
the Civil Code of Russia related to limitation periods which are erroneous when applied to vindication.
An analysis of judicial statistics, in spite of the shortcomings of such a methodology, confirms: a) the
high social importance of vindication disputes, b) the lack of public trust in the state compensations in
cases of disputes related to vindication of property from a bona fide purchaser. Refs 5.

The article is dedicated to afropolitanism, a phenomenon that has arisen in the 21st century among

afropolitanism can be considered as an alternative to cosmopolitanism, and, on the other, both of
its offspring (or a variety of it), cosmopolitanism with African roots (or an African face). In fact, it
is the idea (or complex of ideas), philosophy (and aesthetics), research paradigm and the movement, replacing the Pan-Africanism and Negritude. The author of the article pays special attention to the
new transcontinental identity, the formation of which is related to the mainstreaming activities of
young African intellectuals, especially writers, positioning themselves in cyberspace as “AfriGen

The article deals with the 1905 lithographic illustrated edition of Shujing tu shuo (The Book of Historical
Documents with Illustrations and Commentary). This edition of the ancient Confucian Classics is
rather special, since it was designed as a comic book implementing principles of “explanation through
pictures”. The canonical Ancient Chinese text is available in the book but is greatly simplified for
the unprepared reader. The comments explain the engraved line drawings following and representing
separate portions of the canonical text. Being the last official Qing edition of Shujing, it was destined
to become a popular version of the Confucian classic. It was to be used as a textbook in all public provincial schools. It is noteworthy that illustrations contain some motifs that do not belong to the
canonical text of Shujing, but were borrowed from Chinese mythology and popular literature. In 1905
when Shujing tushuo saw the light of day the civil service examination system, based upon Confucian
orthodoxy, was abolished in China. We deal with a new interpretation of the canonical Confucian
text in quite a peculiar form addressed to a much broader readership. This article is to demonstrate
inconsistency of the conventional thesis of rigidity of the official Confucian orthodoxy in Qing Empire.
Inquiry into imagery and textual contents of this edition and their interaction could throw light on the
ideological, political and social causes and motives behind the new Qing version of classical Shujing.
That could provide grounds for judging on transition from the traditional to modern consciousness in
China at the beginning of the 20th century. Refs 15.

Proverbs decorate every language and Swahili as well. The specificity of the national culture determines
this level of language and provides it with some images and symbols that only native speakers are
acquainted with. Proverbs that include names of different animals prove this fact rather colorfully.
As far as this kind of paremias exhibits a rather huge total amount of proverbs, it is very important
for people learning Swahili to understand and use them in a proper way. The article investigates
Swahili proverbs that include animalistic components are rather deep. It describes possible avenues of
meaning among animalistic symbols in Swahili culture, mythology and proverbs. It also examines the
zoototemistic character of Swahili mythology. The researched material helped to consider the main
reasons why the animalistic component is so frequently used in proverbs. It also made it possible to
mark the main roles of different animals in Swahili proverbs and to see which animals are used more
frequently or more seldom and why. Allegorism is determined as the main mechanism building the
proverbs with animalistic components and the parallels between man and animal as the main image
base. Most of the proverbs mentioned have been translated from Swahili into Russian for the first time.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Research on Dui constructions has been mostly conducted among English-Chinese translation in the
context of Europeanization. With the help of a self-built parallel corpus, this article has attempted to
explore its construction pattern features in translational Chinese from Russian in terms of its syntactic
structure and grammatical functions. This research focuses its attention on the following hypotheses:
1) the construction’s load capacity has been found to increase a great deal by comparing the numbers
of closed, embedded Dui constructions in both translational corpus and a compatable corpus, 2) foreignization
in grammatical functions has been confirmed by comparing the numbers of Dui constructions
as subjects, objects, those as adverbials, and modifiers in both corpora. The article concludes
that, although features of Dui construction patterns have been affected by many factors, the common
underlying ones are: features of translational choice, genre factors, fusion or sublation of Russian in
the translational Chinese. Translators are prone to follow the convention of source language in the
course of their translation of academic texts. Compared with the translated version of literary texts,
the translated versions of academic texts are obviously characteristic of original texts in terms of their
content and structure. Refs. 27. Tables 3.
