At the turn of the 19th–20th centuries with the emergence of interest of many officers to the history of their military unit, because of the celebration of their anniversaries, increased attention to historical uniforms. At the same time, many elements of uniforms and equipment, which were preserved in warehouses, began to be museumized, which gave rise to regimental museums. At the present stage, uniformology refers to the object of research from different positions: historical, art, applied. The article focuses on the historiography and the issues of preservation of items of military material culture.

Keywords: army, uniformology, regimental museum, uniforms, equipment, historiography, photography, supply.

E-mail: solovyev.cyrill@yandex.ru

The article is devoted to the historical study of the twelve-year period of the Boris and Gleb Monastery of Dmitrov as an ascribed monastery to the Novgorod Sophia Bishop’s house. There is not much information about monasteries and monasticism in Ancient Russia of the pre-Mongol period. However, the first written mention of the monasteries can be attributed to the era of Prince Vladimir equal to the Apostles. The first known urban settlement monasteries – Fedorovskiy, Irininskiy, Yanchin (Ivanovskiy), was founded in Kiev. Since they were founded the Prince’s power, or noble boyar clans, as was customary in the former Byzantine Empire. Princes and boyars were depositors of such monasteries, had the right to appoint abbots. At the end of life, many investors took monastic vows in the city monasteries. Among these monasteries, founded by the princely will, we can note the ancient Boris and Gleb Monastery of Dmitrov. In the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, Central State Archive of Moscow, Archive of the Museum-reserve “Dmitrov Kremlin” are stored a large volume of historical documents on the history of the monastery, but serious modern monographs on the history of the monastery does not exist, so it is difficult to determine the exact date of the Foundation of the monastery. The article attempts, through the publication of archival documents, to consider the historical period of development of the Boris and Gleb Monastery in 1652–1664, when it was a part of the Novgorod Bishop’s house.

The content of encyclopedias and dictionaries is considered by the author as a kind of source of ideas about volunteering (volunteering). The study of these publications allows us to present the peculiarities of understanding the concepts of “volunteer” (“volunteer”), “volunteering” (“volunteering”), “volunteer (voluntary) activity” and to trace their semantic transformation over several centuries. In the course of the study, we identified the transformation of their structural and functional content depending on the socio-economic, political state, ideological situation and the peculiarities of the development of Russian society in different historical periods. The variability of the modern interpretation of the concept of “volunteer” is due to a wide range of practices of socially significant activities of the key subject of volunteer labor in Russian society. In addition, the interpretation of the concepts “volunteer”, “volunteering” demonstrates the presence of various methodological approaches to understanding the essence of volunteering and, accordingly, the participants of volunteering themselves.

Keywords: volunteer, volunteer activity, encyclopedia, dictionaries, encyclopedic article.

HISTORIOGRAPHY

 

Belousov A.S. (Saint Petersburg). The Russian Navy during the Russian-Turkish war of 1735–1739: historiographic aspect ………………………………………………………………………………………… 37

ALEKSANDR SERGEEVICH BELOUSOV — Researcher, The State Peterhof Museum-Reserve, Postgraduate student, Department of the Russian history from ancient times to the twentieth century, Institute of History, St. Petersburg State University. Russia, St. Petersburg, 199034, Mendeleevskaya line, 5. Тел.: (812) 328-94-48; E-mail: belousov1504@gmail.com

The paper discusses the Russian and foreign historiography of the Russian-Turkish war of 1735-1739 and the naval studies in it, which plague the history of the Don and Dnieper flotillas. The analysis of the published works demonstrates the beginning of interest in this military conflict at the end of the 18th century by foreign historians, and then Russian. The historiographic base of the war of 1735-1739 was formed at the end of XIX – beginning of XX centuries. The historians of the Navy reproduced the existing model of research and concentrated on the publication of sources at this time. In Soviet times, the study of the war almost stopped. The naval context of the war has ceased to be in the field of view of Soviet historical science. New impetus to the development of historiography is identified at the beginning of the XXI century. Russian and foreign historians publish many works and significantly expand the list of problems. There is a widespread presence of the naval theme, emphasizing the fact that most researchers limit themselves to describing the history of the construction of flotillas without a comprehensive analysis of their shipbuilding programs, staff and combat use. In addition, many modern military historians do not use the experience of previous historiography and base their work on a lapidary list of sources. The analysis of the historiography of the Russian-Turkish war of 1735-1739 demonstrates that Russian and foreign researchers ignore each other’s sources and literature.

Keywords: historiography, military history, Russian-Turkish wars, navy, 18th century.

In the Far East at the beginning of the 20th century, Russia’s migration policy began to move from encouraging Chinese-Korean emigration to restricting it. Having undoubtedly had a positive impact on the industrial development of the Far East, Chinese and Korean immigrants inflicted irreparable damage to the region’s ecology, in addition, they did not pay taxes, which contributed to the need to use non-economic methods to combat emigration by the Russian authorities. The volume of Chinese smuggling grew rapidly, and drug production and bootlegging grew. The gold industry was the main source of inflow of foreign labor, Russian law enforcers were supposed to impede the criminal activity of foreigners in the Far East, but corruption in law enforcement was high, which allowed the Chinese and Koreans to expand their criminal activities to the full. Police officers have provided their corruption patronage to foreigners who were engaged in buying gold from mines and producing and selling opium. Some police officers issued a residence permit for Chinese and Korean workers in the mountain mines of the region at an inflated price or without fixing it in the payroll of the police unit. The gendarmes and the prosecutor’s office succeeded in initiating a prosecution or sending him to resign due to the loss of confidence of a number of police officers.

Keywords: Chinese, Koreans, corruption, Far East, opium, gold, police, migration.

The article deals with a difficult from the point of view of the domestic political situation and foreign policy period of the history of Great Britain in the summer-autumn of 1951. At this time, the economic situation in the country is aggravated due to the large-scale rearmament program initiated by the Labor government. The difficult international situation in connection with the war in Korea for Britain was complicated by the crises in Iran and Egypt. Given this, the appointment of parliamentary elections on October 25, 1951 made it inevitable that war and peace issues be brought to the fore during the election campaign. The two main parties of the country on the eve of the elections constantly exploited the theme of the third world war and relations with the USSR. Since the programs of conservatives and labourists differed slightly in the socio-economic sphere, foreign policy issues had a significant impact on the voting results.

Keywords: British foreign policy, USSR foreign policy, cold war, parliamentary elections in Great Britain.

ARCHAEOLOGY

 

Travkin V.I. (Moscow). Hathor on the round Dendera zodiac ……………………………………………. 97

VIKTOR IVANOVICH TRAVKIN — Member of the Union of Writers of Russia, Researcher of Ancient Egypt. 107023, Russian Federation, Moscow, M. Semenovskaya St., 3. E-mail: travkin.viktor@gmail.com

The article is devoted to the study of the bas-relief on the ceiling of the second room of the Eastern chapel of Osiris Hathor temple in the city of Dendera. The bas-relief is presented in the form of a triptych and includes images of the round Dendera zodiac, the figure of the goddess Chickpea with her hands raised up and the bent figure of the goddess Chickpea around thirteen rooks. The author, considering the triptych as a whole, proposes a new original hypothesis for decoding the image on the ceiling bas-relief. Based on information from the history of Ancient Egypt, the mythology of the ancient gods of Egypt in the process of research, he puts forward the postulate that Hathor is the Moon, and the temple of Hathor is the temple of the moon. When studying the left part of the triptych, the author comes to the conclusion that the Central circle, which is held in its hands by the twelve gods of the sky on the round Dendera zodiac is an image of the moon, which overlooks the starry sky. The mythological figures depicted in the starry sky are defined as constellations: zodiac signs, the great and little bear, the Dragon; and as planets: Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth. The presence of these constellations and planets in the sky indicates the location of the moon. On the right side of the triptych shows thirteen rooks moving on the Ground with balls and people. Depicted on the middle part of the goddess Chickpeas – a goddess of heaven, whose hands are raised, talking about the big sky – space. As a result, the triptych appears as a single image: the Moon – space – Earth. Analyzing the unknown circles – balls with people and objects depicted on the extreme bas – reliefs of the triptych, the author hypothesizes that the image on the ceiling of the middle room of the Eastern chapel of Osiris of the temple of Hathor is a message to the descendants, which in the language of the figure shows the process of moving people and objects from the moon to the Earth.

Keywords: Ancient Egypt, Dendera zodiac, Hathor, archаeology, history, origin of mankind, moon, astronomy.

 

Sharnina A.B. (Saint Petersburg). Meetings of Labiads in Delphi……………………………………. 106

ARIADNA BORISOVNA SHARNINA — Ph.D. in History, Associate Professor, Herzen State Pedagogical University. 191186, Russian Federation, Saint Petersburg, Moika Emb., 48. E-mail: ariadna@setname.com

The article explores the Delphic inscription of Labiads of the 4th century BC, a large group of citizens of Delphi. The inscription contains the text of the oath of the tags, which must take the victims from their fellow citizens and control that no one evades them. They controlled that the victims related to the recognition of the civil rights of a child are held only on the feast of Apellai. However, Labiads seems to care less about the legality of civil rights than evading citizens from bringing these traditional sacrifices and from participating in joint meals of Labiads, which may have been associated with the impoverishment of some citizens. This may explain the addition of a copy of the ancient decree of the obligatory meals for the Labiads. It can be assumed that the ripening or already occurring conflicts in the Delphic community, have caused the publication of rules on burials, and prohibition of visiting the graves of previously deceased people.

Keywords: Delphi, the 4th century BC, Labiads, rules on burials, oath of the tags.

The article presents an analysis of statistical data on the basis of different sources in relation to industrial injuries at steel mills of the southern part of the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. In order to determine the comparative reliability of statistical indicators, mathematical methods were used. In particular, to identify possible inaccuracies and errors, indicators of different sources were compared, which were also subjected to mutual rechecking. In addition, a systematic approach was used when verifiable data were included in a system of other indicators. Thus, the work presents both a source study analysis based on a comparison of various indicators and quantitative values in relation to the identification of possible errors and inaccuracies in sources, and directly describes the trends regarding the research topic.

The article considers the phenomenon of reception of Paracelsiana in Russia in the 18th – first half of the 19th centuries based on archival sources from the libraries of Moscow and St. Petersburg. For the first time the paper introduces a number of documents with the earliest Russian Paracelsus translations, which allow to highlight a range of texts particularly interesting for the Russian academic community. The original works and notes of Dimitrie Cantemir, Vasily Tatishchev, Alexander Klushin, Akim Nakhimov, Johann Georg von Schwarz, Peter Titov, Semyon Gamaleya and many other authors are viewed for the first time through the prism of the history of Paracelsianism. The article raises the question of the significance of the books by Paracelsus for the intellectual history of Russia. They are considered in the light of their reception in the works of intellectuals from the so-called Friendly Scientific Society at the Imperial Moscow University, as well as in the works of German naturalists in the Russian service related to the history of the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

Keywords: Paracelsus, Natural philosophy, Russian philosophy, Russian history, the History of Alchemy and Medicine.

In this article was researched the question that the Civil war that began after the October coup of 1917 in Soviet Russia was not only in the trenches on the front line, but also actively conducted on the information front. Representatives of anti-Bolshevik opposition political parties and organizations that did not agree to recognize both the established repressive regime in General and the conditions of the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty concluded in March 1918 with Germany and its allies in particular took an active part in it. One of the most active and prolific critics of the Bolshevik dictatorship was in 1918–1919 a well-known politician and publicist, the Menshevik-”defensist” Vladimir Nikolaevitch Rozanov. Both in his journal articles and in his practical work, he preferred the toughest methods of counteracting the Bolsheviks, not excluding armed struggle to overthrow their power.

The article is based on archival materials from the personal funds of well-known specialists in the history of England by the Leningrad historian I.I. Lyubimenko (1878–1959) and Gorky historian S.I. Arhangelsky (1882–1958), located respectively in the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Central Archive of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Documentary sources from the personal funds of other scientists, mainly from the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, were also attracted. The research focused on the monograph of I.I. Lyubimenko on the study of the history of Anglo-Russian relations of the 17th–18th centuries, the preparation of which began before the revolution of 1917, and the circumstances that did not allow her to publish this book. The article studied three reviews of the unpublished monograph by I.I. Lyubimenko: sharply negative reviews of S.A. Feigina and L.A. Nikiforov and favorable feedback of S.I. Arhangelsky. In the analysis of the texts of reviews, the reasons for the significant difference in the book’s estimates are presented. It was concluded that the text of the monograph of I.I. Lyubimenko itself (the discovered text of the book was fully prepared for publication) should be further studied and put into scholar circulation. The article complements the work on the history of national history and introduces new facts to the scholarly biographies of Soviet historians.

Keywords: I.I. Lyubimenko, S.I. Arhangelsky, S.A. Feigina, L.A. Nikiforov, Russian-English relations in the 17th–18th centuries., Leningrad branch of the Institute of History of the USSR Academy of Sciences, history in the USSR, biographies of historians, English studies.

 

Filatov T.V. (Samara). V.S. Stepin and the end of technogenic civilization (reflection on the fields of one monograph) …………………………………………………………………………. 203

TIMUR VALENTINOVICH FILATOV — Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, Head of the Department of Philosophy, Volga State University of Telecommunications and Informatics. 443010, Russian Federation, Samara, L’va Tolstogo St., 23. E-mail: tfilatoff1960@mail.ru

The article deals with the historiosophical concept set out in the work of the prominent Soviet and Russian philosopher Vyacheslav Stepin (1934–2018), presented in his monograph “Civilization and culture”. Based on his methodological concept, V.S. Stepin builds an original historiosophy, in which technogenic civilization is considered as the beginning of the transition from traditional civilizations to a hypothetical human civilization of a new type. The author critically examines the views of V.S. Stepin, pointing out that technogenic civilization is a more global transition: from the era of domination of humanity to the era of domination of artificial intelligence.

Keywords: technogenic civilization, traditional civilizations, arms race, ecological crisis, anthropological crisis, collapse of the USSR, artificial intelligence, the end of human history.
