SCHISM AND STATE POWER (THE CASE OF PRIISHIMYA)

Ermachkova E.P.

Abstract

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the spread of one of the most mass religious movements within the Russian Orthodox Church - schism. On the basis of earlier unpublished archival documents, statistics and social and demographic population surveys of Priishimya of the pre-revolutionary time there are considered little-known facts reflecting the relationship between the state and the Old Believers both at the all-Russian and local level. The analysis allowed to identify three periods characterized by the transition from quite negative to tolerant attitude of the state authorities towards the Siberian Old Believers. Essential restrictions in the rights, material and spiritual culture led to such negative consequences as self-immolation, high death rate and isolation. The Liberal reforms of the early 20th century, the spread of atheism led to the rapprochement of the orthodox Christians and conservatives on the eve of the October revolution of 1917.

MAIN STAGES OF HISTORY OF “CULTURAL” POPULISM

Mokshin G.N.

Abstract

The article deals with the history of the conceptualization of "cultural" or "kulturnichesky" populism.In the literature it is the name of the right wing reformist populism. In the 80-90s of the nineteenth century the intelligentsia. The author focuses on the periodization of the history of "cultural" populism. Previously, researchers paid little attention to this issue. The ideology and practice of the later ideas of populists I.I. Kablitz, Y.V. Abramov, S.N. Krivenko had a great impact on the advanced Russian populists embodied the process of liberalization of populism, its reconciliation with the autocracy and emerging capitalism. The periodization proposed by the author includes four stages: the origin of “kulturnichesky” ideas (1869-1874), the development of the theory and practice of "kulturnichestvo" (1875-1884), the evolution of "cultural" populism (1885-1894) and finally, the ideological and organizational crisis of the cultural-populist trend (1895-1904). At the heart of the author's periodization is the idea of the progressive development of populist ideas: from “kulturnichesky” trend towards the theory of "small deeds " and then, under the influence of the general crisis of populism in the early 1890s, towards the development of the concept of broad "cultural work" (with social and political implications, which the theory of "small deeds" lacked). This approach seeks to emphasize the role of the cultural ideas in the evolution of populism in the 1880-1890s, in the turning of yesterday's rebels and revolutionary propagandists into a constructive social force. According to the author, its application to the history of the Russian populism may change the image of the populist in the modern scientific and educational literature.

TURKESTAN MUSLIMS’ “HOLY PLACES” AS CENTRES OF ANTIRUSSIAN ACTIVITIES OF TURKISH SECRET SERVICE (SECOND HALF OF 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURIES)

Litvinov V.P.

Abstract

The article deals with one of the aspects of the history of the Russian-Turkish relations in the period under consideration. The evidence suggests there was a high level of tension in the Russian-Turkish relations throughout its development. They often escalated into open military conflicts. The Russian penetration into Turkestan in the second half of the 19th century angered the Ottoman Empire’s ruling circles and forced them to send their agents to the Caspian region. Russia’s annexation of Central Asia by the 1860-1870s strengthened Turkey’s anti-Russian policy. As a result, the number of Turkish agents increased in Russian Turkestan. The Ottoman Empire’s intelligence service actively used the “holy places” of Islam in Turkestan as the centres of the largest concentration of Muslims of the region with the view of anti-Russian propaganda. Virtually all anti-Russian uprisings in the region began at the graves of Islamic "righteous." Despite serious countermeasures the tsarist authorities did not manage to eradicate the Turkish agents from the state and political life of the region and completely destroy all its subversive activities.

Ibatullin A.F.

Abstract

The article reveals the state of modern Russia's relations with African countries, focuses on the importance and relevance of the Soviet experience in the region and willingness of African countries authorities to provide preferences to Moscow. It is noted that Africa at the turn of XX-XXI centuries is the subject of economic rivalry like between the former metropolitan countries and the new political factors like the US and China. In this regard Russia as the legal successor of the Soviet Union could use the potential accumulated during the Soviet period, taking into account the fact that the African states still maintain a positive image of the Soviet Union as a country that has made a decisive contribution to the liberation of the continent from colonialism. The author defines the prospects of further cooperation of Russia with the countries of Africa, especially in the economic, military and political spheres.

‘IN THE HEART OF A GREAT FOREIGH HOMELAND': BI-ROOTED MIND-SET IN THE POEMS OF RACHEL BLUWSTEIN AND LEAS GOLDBERG

Levin O.

Abstract

The biographical and poetic similarity between Rachel Bluwstein (1890-1931) and Lea Goldberg (1911-1970) calls for a comparative study of the two poetesses, which were undertaken in the specific context of migrant literature, in light of the term “bi-rootedness”. Both Bluwstein and Goldberg had “double roots”, in Russia and in the Land of Israel, and this can be clearly seen in a “bi-rooted” mind-set manifest in their poems, which will be examinedin this paper. In my analysis two manifestations of this “bi-rooted pain”will be observed: European memories and a yearning for the old homeland on the one hand, and the rejection of adapting to the new homeland on the other.
