Published: August 2023

Background: Mizaj is a fundamental concept in traditional Persian medicine (TPM) that explains the physiological and psychological traits of human beings. This study aimed to investigate the association between the ABO/Rh blood groups and the Mizaj.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 18-60 years old individuals who visited the Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization, Shiraz Branch. We used Mojahediâ€™s Mizaj questionnaire to determine the Mizaj of the participants. The participantsâ€™ blood group and Rh were determined based on the antibodies against types A, B, and Rh antigens of their blood. Results: We assessed 308 individuals consisting of 174 (56.49%) male and 134 (43.51%) female. The results of our study showed a significant relationship between the AB blood group and the cold Mizaj in both simple and compound Mizaj categories (P=0.012, P=0.014, respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the AB blood group were 2.88 times more likely to have cold Mizaj than people with the O blood group (OR=2.88, 95% CI: 1.16 to 7.15). In addition, those with the A blood group were found to be 54% less likely to have a dry Mizaj than those with the O blood group (OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.23 to 0.92). There was no significant association between the participantsâ€™ Mizaj and their Rh blood group (P>0.05).Conclusion: It seems that there was a significant relation between the AB blood group and cold Mizaj, as well as the A blood group and dry Mizaj. However, further studies are recommended with controlling the probable confounding factors.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) treatment through Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) has an alternative form of video surveillance therapy (VOT) that utilizes the technological capabilities of smartphones to provide patients with low-cost access to doctors without impacting their work and personal life. We aimed to assess TB patientsâ€™ drug compliance, perceptions, and feasibility towards smartphone-based video direct observed therapy (VDOT) in Jeddah, KSA. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective non-randomized interventional study. We delivered smartphone-based VDOT among previously unstudied patients to monitor adherence to the treatment regimen. The expected total number of VDOT sessions was1200. We conducted post-intervention interviews to assess acceptability and satisfaction. Results: In this study, we included 20 participants, 16 of whom were males, with a mean age of 34.3 (Â±12.5) years. No side effects to the treatments were identified in all participants. The adherence rate for the total period was 93% and 99.5%, measured by the first and second methods, respectively. Most participants were satisfied with the VDOT experience, the time spent on sessions, and the approachâ€™s privacy. Conclusion: This study provides promising results for the feasibility and effectiveness of smartphone-based VDOT for TB treatment to increase adherence which was indicated by a high compliance rate, acceptability, and high satisfaction level.

Authors: Mohamed Rasha , A. Mossa Mahmoud , El-Gaafary Ahmed
Published: August 2023

The paper aims to develop an improved control system to enhance the dynamics of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) operating at varying speeds. The generator dynamics are evaluated based on lowing current, power, and torque ripples to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control system. The adopted controllers include the model predictive power control (MPPC), model predictive torque control (MPTC), and the designed predictive voltage control (PVC). MPPC seeks to regulate the active and reactive power, while MPTC regulates the torque and flux. MPPC and MPTC have several drawbacks, like high ripple, high load commutation, and using a weighting factor in their cost functions. The methodology of designed predictive voltage comes to eliminate these drawbacks by managing the direct voltage by utilizing the deadbeat and finite control set FCS principle, which uses a simple cost function without needing any weighting factor for equilibrium error issues. The results demonstrate several advantages of the proposed PVC technique, including faster dynamic response, simplified control structure, reduced ripples, lower current harmonics, and decreased computational requirements when compared to the MPPC and MPTC methods. Additionally, the study considers the integration of blade pitch angle and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controls, which limit wind energy utilization when the generator speed exceeds its rated speed and maximize wind energy extraction during wind scarcity. In summary, the proposed PVC enhanced control system exhibits superior performance in terms of dynamic response, control simplicity, current quality, and computational efficiency when compared to alternative methods.

Published: August 2023

This research focuses on the analysis and design of robust direct power control (DPC) for a shunt active power filter (SAPF). The study proposes a novel switching table design based on an analysis of the impact of inverter switching vectors on the derivatives of instantaneous reactive and active powers. The goal is to reduce the number of commutations by eliminating null vectors while maintaining the desired DC-bus voltage using a PI regulator-based anti windup technique. Additionally, a robust PLL structure-based band pass multivariate filter (BPMVF) is utilized to enhance the network voltage. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of the suggested power control through extensive simulation results, showing high performance in both transient and steady-state conditions. The proposed approach offers the advantages of sinusoidal network current, and unitary power factor, and eliminates the need for current regulators and coordinate transformations or PWM generators. Further research directions could explore the practical implementation and real-world performance of this technique in power systems.

Published: August 2023

Face recognition is one of the challenging subjects of image processing. Facial recognition is often a biometric method that basically uses faces to recognize people. The face recognition system consists of three main steps: finding the face in the image, feature extraction and classification. The face recognition system faces challenges such as changes in lighting, changes in age, changes in facial expressions, etc. One of the important issues in this system is the algorithm execution speed. For this purpose, the dimensions of the feature vectors should be small enough, especially when the database is large. Since the face recognition system must be performed on a wide range of databases, dimensionality reduction techniques are required to reduce time and increase accuracy. Dimension reduction methods are used for this purpose. Two methods of dimensionality reduction, including LTP and PCA, are given in this research. In this research, first, the LTP feature vectors are extracted from the face image, and then the effective features are selected using the Bat algorithm. Therefore, this algorithm has three main phases of feature extraction, feature selection and classification. This algorithm is implemented on the ORL database, which contains 400 images of 40 different people with a size of 112×92 pixels. In addition to reducing the time required for testing, the proposed method has provided a very good accuracy of 99%.
Integrated Modelling and Control of Linear Actuator Based Automatic Pedal Pressing Mechanism for Low-Speed Driving in a Road Traffic Delay
Authors: Abdullah Hashim Azrul Azim , Ahmad Salmiah , Abd Ghani Nor Maniha , Nasir Ahmad Nor Kasruddin
Published: August 2023

Sitting in traffic congestion for hours in a posture that requires recurrent actions of manually pressing the pedal and braking excessively can result in fatigue, especially on the driver's leg and back. This fatigue can have long-term implications and adversely affect the driver's health. Thus, this paper aims to model and develop a control system that utilizes a linear actuator to replace the leg activities involved in pressing and releasing the brake pedal. This approach, combined with the implementation of a PID controller, offers a novel solution to control the vehicle speed by integration with the linear actuator that focus on low-speed driving condition. The design process begins with creating a 3D model using SolidWorks to visualize the movement of the linear actuator and Pedal subsystem. This model is then connected to Matlab-Simulink, where a PID controller is implemented and integrated into the electrical circuit to control the actuator's movement. Integration with the vehicle dynamic model enables a comprehensive analysis of the system's behavior on the vehicle dynamics. This research compares the trial and error method with the Matlab tuner for implementing the PID controller. The performance of the system will be evaluated based on the steady state error, overshoot, rise time, and settling time. The results demonstrate that the Matlab tuner outperforms trial and error method by achieving a faster response and significantly reducing steady state error during robustness testing. With the integration of the linear actuator, the system is capable of tracking the desired speed and has the potential to replace the leg activities involved in pressing and releasing the brake pedal. For future work, validating the proposed mechanism with a physical prototype of the linear actuator and pedal using hardware-in-the-loop techniques poses a challenge, as hardware constraints may vary with different environments.

Authors: Fahmi Ahmad , Sulaiman Marizan Bin , Siradjuddin Indrazno , Risdhayanti Anindya Dwi
Published: August 2023

Over the past few decades, there have been significant technological advancements in the field of robots, particularly in the area of mobile robots. The performance standards of speed, accuracy, and stability have become key indicators of progress in robotic technology. Self-balancing robots are designed to maintain an upright position without toppling over. By continuously adjusting their center of mass, they can maintain stability even when disturbed by external forces. This research aims to achieving and maintaining balance is a complex task. Self-balancing robots must accurately sense their orientation, calculate corrective actions, and execute precise movements to stay upright. Eliminating disturbances and measurement noise in self-balancing robot can enhance the accuracy of their output. One common technique for achieving this is by using Kalman filters, which are effective in addressing non-stationary linear plants with unknown input signal strengths that can be optimized through filter poles and process covariances. Additionally, advanced Kalman filter methods have been developed to account for white measurement noise. In this research, state estimation was conducted using the Fish Swarm Optimization Algorithm (FSOA) to provide feedback to the controller to overcome the effects of disturbances and noise in the measurements through the designed filter. FSOA mimics the social interactions and coordinated movements observed in fish groups to solve optimization problems. FSOA is primarily used for optimization tasks where finding the global optimal solution is desired. The results show that the use of an optimized Kalman filter with FSOA on a two-wheeled mobile robot to handle system stability reduces noise values by 38.37%, and the system reaches a steady state value of 3.8 s with a steady error of 0.2%. In addition, by using the proposed method, filtering disturbances and measurement noise in self-balancing robot can help improve the accuracy of the self balancing robot’s output. System response becomes faster towards stability compared to other methods which are also applied to two-wheeled mobile robots.

Population Dynamics on Fractional Tumor System Using Laplace Transform and Stability Analysis
Authors: Palanisami Dhanalakshmi , Elango Shrilekha
Published: August 2023

Modeling is an effective way of using mathematical concepts and tools to represent natural systems and phenomena. Fractional calculus is an essential part of modeling a biological system. Recently, many researchers have been interested in modeling real-time problems mathematically and analyzing them. In this paper, the tumor system under fractional order is considered, and it comprises normal cells, tumor cells and effector-immune cells. By taking chemotherapy drugs into account, the toxicity of the drug and concentration of the drug is also studied in the model. The main objective of this work is to establish the solution for the model using Laplace transform and analyze the stability of the model. Laplace transform, a simple and efficient method, is used in solving the system that proves the existence and uniqueness of the solution. The boundedness of the system is also verified using the Lipschitz condition. Further, the system is solved for numerical values, and the population dynamics of cells are provided for different values of $\alpha$ as a graphical representation. Also, after analyzing the effect of chemotherapy drugs on tumor cells for different $\alpha$'s, which signifies that $\alpha$ = 0.9 provides a sufficient decrease in the dynamics of tumor cells. The main and significant part of this work is presenting that the usage of chemotherapy drugs reduces the number of tumor cells. The importance of the work is that apart from the immune system, chemotherapy drugs play a significant role in destroying tumor cells. The Hyers Ulam stability has a significant application that one need not find the exact solution to when analyzing a Hyers Ulam stable system. Thus, the stability of this tumor model under Caputo fractional order is presented using Hyers-Ulam stability and Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability.
Magnetometer-Only Kalman Filter Based Algorithms for High Accuracy Spacecraft Attitude Estimation (A Comparative Analysis)
Authors: Habib Tamer Mekky
Published: August 2023

Kalman Filter (KF) based algorithms are the most frequently employed attitude estimation algorithms. Typically, a fully observable system necessitates the use of two distinct sensor types. Therefore, relying on a single sensor, such as a magnetometer, for spacecraft attitude estimation is deemed to be a challenge. The present investigation centers on utilizing magnetometers as the exclusive sensor. Several KF based estimation algorithms have been designed and evaluated to give the designer of spacecraft Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) the choice of a suitable algorithm for his mission based on quantitative measures. These algorithms are capable of effectively addressing nonlinearity in both process and measurement models. The algorithms under examination encompass the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Sequential Extended Kalman Filter (SEKF), Pseudo Linear Kalman Filter (PSELIKA), Unscented Kalman Filter (USKF), and Derivative Free Extended Kalman Filter (DFEKF). The comparison of the distinct algorithms hinges on key performance metrics, such as estimation error for each axis, computation time, and convergence rate. The resulting algorithms provide numerous benefits, such as diverse levels of high estimation accuracy (with estimation errors ranging from 0.014o to 0.14o), varying computational demands (execution time ranges from 0.0536s to 0.0584s), and the capability to converge despite large initial attitude estimation errors (which reached 170o). These properties render the algorithms appropriate for utilization by spacecraft designers in all operational modes, supplying high-precision attitude estimations better than (0.5o) despite high magnetometer noise levels, which reached (200 nT).
TWELVE SLEEPING MAIDENS BY V. A. ZHUKOVSKY IN CONTEMPORARY PARODY RESPONSES (I. V. PROTASHINSKY, A. A. VOEIKOVA, S. P. SHEVYREV)
Authors:   Institute of Russian literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Berezkina Svetlana Veniaminovna
Published: August 2023

The article deals with parody responses to the Twelve Sleeping Maidens (1811–1817) by V. A. Zhukovsky, using the texts by I. V. Protashinsky, A. A. Voeikova, S. P. Shevyrev as case studies. Protashinsky’s parody Twelve Sleeping Butoshniks (1832) was very popular, and an approving reference to it in Voeikova’s letter to Zhukovsky allows us to date it back to 1819. The article describes the history of Shevyrev’s writing of the libretto for A. N. Verstovsky’s opera Vadim, or the Twelve Sleeping Maidens Awakening (1832). The discussion of the libretto in the letters to M. P. Pogodin highlights parodic elements in Shevyrev’s rendition of Zhukovsky’s plot.
I. V. KIREEVSKY’S CORRESPONDENCE WITH FRIENDS, 1820s–1830s, IN A LITERARY CONTEXT
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, Kuz’mina Marina Dmitrievna ,   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia,   Institute of Philosophy and Law, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2023

The article studies the correspondence within the circle of friends of the young I. V. Kireevsky in the literary context of the 1820s–1830s. The data are primarily considered against the background of the correspondence between A. S. Pushkin and the members of the Arzamas circle. It is suggested that, on the one hand, the epistolary communication of the Kireevsky circle features the general trends of the development of the genre of friendly writing (literary game, «buffoonery», the principle of chatter, etc.), and on the other hand, it is somewhat original. «Buffoonery» tends to combine with intimacy. Since the epistolary communication was centered around the inner worlds and relationships of the correspondents, rather than around literary issues, it became more personal and multidirectional, opening up new prospects for the development of the epistolary genre.
LITERARY SOURCES OF PUSHKIN’S SKETCH «VESUVIUS OPENED ITS MOUTH…»
Authors:   The National Pushkin Museum, Kurochkin Alexander Valentinovich
Published: August 2023

The article outlines the literary sources that A. S. Pushkin might have used in his work on the poem «Vesuvius Opened its Mouth…». "Biblioteka dlja Chtenija" magazine published an article "The Last Day of Pompeii, a Painting by Karl Bryullov", containing the descriptions of the canvas translated from Italian. The Society for the Encouragement of Artists published translations of the foreign reviews of the painting as a separate book. It is likely that Pushkin began working on the poem before the canvas arrived to St. Petersburg. The poet’s drawing in the draft manuscript could have been made from the image of the painting reproduced in "Biblioteka dlja Chtenija". In Pushkin’s sketch, there are reminiscences from Count Khvostov’s epistle to Bryullov, that contained a descrip-tion of the canvas.
«AND MY BIRTH FATHER IS AN ENEMY OF MINE»: ON THE NATURE OF THE INTERGENERATIONAL CONFLICT IN N. V. GOGOL`S «LITTLE RUSSIAN» COLLECTIONS OF TALES
Authors:   M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Maksimov Boris Aleksandrovich
Published: August 2023

The article examines the organization of the conflict in "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka and in Mirgorod", which is based on the historically determined «self-suffi ciency» of the middle generation of the Cossacks. Prolonging their «zenith», the «fathers» hinder dynastic evolution as they neglect the heroic past, deny women the joys of motherhood and disenfranchise their sons. In order to break his father’s resistance and to marry, Gogol’s protagonist appeals to his forebears and passes a test, in which the distinction between filial affection and sensuality plays a crucial role.
THE REPUTATION OF A PLAYWRIGHT BETWEEN THE STATE AND THE SOCIETY: THE THEATRICAL AND LITERARY COMMITTEE AND "THE MARRIAGE OF BALZAMINOV" BY A. N. OSTROVSKY
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Zubkov Kirill Yurievich
Published: August 2023

The article discusses an episode from the history of the Theatrical and Literary Committee, an organization that was supposed to control the aesthetic level of the repertoire of the Imperial theaters. In 1861, the committee forbade, and a year later allowed the staging of the scenes by Ostrovsky "Whatever You Look For, You’ll Find" ("The Marriage of Balzaminov"). The discussions of this decision are used to analyze the dynamics of the institution of a playwright’s reputation, which was increasingly defined by the periodical press, rather than the state.

THE STYLE OF NABOKOV, A SELF-PROCLAIMED "SEEKER OF WORD ADVENTURES"
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Levina-Parker Masha , Levin Misha ,   Independent Researcher
Published: August 2023

Nabokov’s phrase is mostly clear and not necessarily unusual but full of unusual images. Unlike Andrei Bely, J. Joyce, A. P. Platonov and even N. V. Gogol, he does not create his own other-lingua; what makes him unique is other-vision, i. e. the gift of discerning what is invisible for the rest. A special feature thereof is transformation of one kind of phenomena into another (human, animal’s, things’s, natural). Nabokov plays with words, syllables, letters, signs in a language game of his own.

The author examines the signifi cance of the latest archival fi nds concerning the staff members of the Foreign Affairs Ministry (prikaz) of the 17th century for the history of the Old Russian literature, especially its translated part. The Foreign Affairs Ministry was an important center of literary activity. The article shows that the main achievement of the prosopographic studies is their systematic approach to the material. They thus offer insights not only into the literary contribution of the individuals who worked at the Ministry, but also into the signifi cance of the institution per se as a school of literature and a literary school.
THE SOURCE OF I. I. CHEMNITZER’S FABLE "THE LETTERS"
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Trakhtenberg Lev Arkad’evich
Published: August 2023

The paper shows that the plot of Ivan Chemnitzer’s fable The Letters is based on an anecdote that went into wide circulation in 1779–1781, after its fi rst publication in "Annales Politiques, Civiles et Littéraires…" Chemnitzer probably read it in the German translation, published in the Chronologen magazine. New facts suggests that the fable dates back to 1780 — the fi rst half of 1782. Chemnitzer’s fable is rather different from its source in terms of plot as well as idea. While the anecdote is about a simple inscription that highbrow scholars find too difficult to interpret, the fable features a king who deliberately propounds a riddle to the scholars, so as to deride their pointless sophistication.

Published: August 2023

The Commission on the History of Philological Sciences at the Department of Literature and Language of the USSR Academy of Sciences, established in the mid-1950s, dealt primarily with the history of Russian literary criticism. P. N. Berkov was one of the most active members of the Bureau of the Commission and repeatedly delivered reports at its plenary sessions. The autographic text of P. N. Berkov’s report is polemically sharpened and very bold for the time, raising questions concerning the public authority of literary criticism and the scholarly merits of the philologists associated with Formalism. The report reveals the author’s goal to outline a variety of research approaches and to identify the most important and fruitful academic trends, many of which still retain their relevance.
LETTERS OF JOSEPH DE MAISTRE TO ROXANA STURDZA: TOWARDS THE ISSUE OF COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES OF A SARDINIAN DIPLOMAT AT THE RUSSIAN COURT
Authors:   Université Paris Sorbonne, Pantina Marina Viktorovna
Published: August 2023

Joseph de Maistre, who found himself in the diplomatic service in Russia after the events of the French Revolution, used the high-society salons of St. Petersburg to established connections at court, and corresponded with the key figures of the time. The Savoy envoy earned a reputation of an advocate of Catholicism, and numerous conversions in the highest circles of the Russian society are attributed to his influence. His correspondence with Roxana Sturdza differs, however, from the messages addressed to other members of the Russian aristocracy of that time, and deserves separate consideration due to the variety of communication strategies of the Savoyard diplomat. Letters to Roxana cover almost the entire period of Joseph de Maistre’s stay in Russia, with the first one dating back to 1805 and the last one referring to 1817; apart from the personal relations of the correspondents, the letters let us trace the impact that the historical events of Alexander I’s reign made on the patterns of communication between the diplomat and the Emperor’s lady-in-waiting.

Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Filippova Elena Mihajlovna
Published: August 2023

The article deals with the main formation sources of the allegorical image of the wolf-nihilist Mark Volokhov in the novel "The Precipice" by I. A. Goncharov. Citing the correspondence between L. N. Maykov and his university comrades, we can assume that, apart from the mythopoetic, literary-philosophical and typological reasons, Mark can be likened to a predator due to certain biographical prerequisites.
THE IMAGE OF THE DEACON IN THE RUSSIAN LITERATURE OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY — EARLY 20TH CENTURY, AS ASSESSED BY THE CLERICAL JOURNALISM
Authors:   Institute of Russian literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Rozov Aleksandr Nikolaevich
Published: August 2023

The article examines the works of the writers of the 19–20th centuries, where various types of deacons are represented, assessed either as positive or as negative types by the clerical criticism. The images of the deacons did not reflect the sophisticated reality of clerical practices. Still, literary works familiarized the wider readership with these practices. Clerical critics analyzed the respective works from the religious and moral point of view, and modern literary scholars do not always fully take this into account.
I. S. TURGENEV’S UNKNOWN TRANSLATION: «SOMOFF’S CASE» IN THE EUROPEAN AND RUSSIAN PRESS IN 1879
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Lukina Valentina Aleksandrovna , Simankov Vitaliy Ivanovich ,   Independent Researcher
Published: August 2023

A century ago, A. I. Beletski, a young Soviet scholar from Kharkov, published a couple of I. S. Turgenev’s letters to E. Ja. Kolbasin of 5 (17) and 9 (21) August 1879. The letters suggest that Turgenev received a certain «correspondence» from his long-time friend. The message excited Turgenev so much that he immediately decided to translate it into French and have it published in a prominent Parisian newspaper. What was the «correspondence» in question? There is no defi nite answer to the question. The present article seeks to identify the missing link in this story, examining the French and Russian press of 1879.

Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Misnikevich Tatiana Vladimirovna , Aleksandrov Aleksandr Sergeevich ,   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2023

The article discusses the main topics, personalities and events touched upon in the long-term epistolary dialogue between Alexander Alekseevich Izmailov (1873–1921) and Hieronymus Hieronymovich Yasinsky (1850–1931), whose names are extremely signifi cant for the history of the Russian literature and journalism of the late 19th — early 20th century. Apart from highlighting the nuances of their relationship and clarifying certain instances of their life stories, the correspondence between the two writers describes the literary fi eld as a whole, since Izmailov and Yasinsky determined the policies of the major popular editions and were instrumental in shaping the literary reputations of the writers of various trends in 1890s — 1910s.
RESOLVING A TEXTOLOGICAL CASUS (AN UNKNOWN LETTER FROM A. A. BLOK TO D. N. FRIEDBERG)
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Gryakalova Nataliya Juryevna
Published: August 2023

The article traces the textual history of A. A. Blok’s poetic sketch «Rejoicing and Spinning…», which was previously erroneously treated as a completed work. The fi nal argument in resolving the issue is the previously unknown letter from A. A. Blok to D. N. Friedberg, discovered in the V. N. Orlov Foundation at RGALI, which is being introduced into the academic circulation for the first time. The circumstances of the two Symbolist poets’ cooperation in V. A. Ternavtsev’s educational and enlightenment project, the publication of textbooks for the primary classes of the «folk schools», are revealed. The analysis of the microtext — the notes and marginalia adjacent to the sketch — is instrumental for tracing the influence of V. Bryusov’s folklore stylizations on Blok’s early experiments with the form of «childish» or «naive» poetry.

A GLIMPSE OF THE HISTORY OF THE LITERARY DISPUTES OF 1907–1908: "THE RUSSIAN ARTIST MAGAZINE"
Authors:   European University at St. Petersburg, Glukhovskaia Elena Aleksandrovna
Published: August 2023

In the years 1907–1908, against the background of the confrontation between the leading Symbolist periodicals and the writers’ disputes in Moscow and St. Petersburg regarding the «mystical Anarchism», the poets consolidated around the Vesy (Libra) magazine (Yu. Baltrušaitis, Andrei Bely, V. Hoffmann, A. Kursinsky, M. Likiardopulo, Ellis); they were looking for alternative publishing solutions that would incorporate related creative spheres. The article deals with the history of their collaboration with the magazine Russkii Artist (The Russian Artist), edited by P. N. Mamontov.
E. ROSTAND AND THE ROMANTICISM IN THE WORKS OF M. I. TSVETAEVA
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature, Russian Academy of Sciences, Zuseva—Ozkan Veronika Borisovna
Published: August 2023

The article examines the «Rostand layer» in the fictional and ego-documentary works of M. I. Tsvetaeva. Rostand’s work became one of the main sources that informed Tsvetaeva’s concept of Romanticism, which she perceived as a facet of her own soul, rather than as a literary phenomenon. Analyzing the motives, images, plot twists of Rostand, Tsvetaeva shows that it was a comprehensive influence that affected her throughout her life and was not limited to a purely «literary» sphere.

WHY IS IT WRONG TO FOLLOW IN SOMEONE’S FOOTSTEPS? (ON THE LITERARY CONTEXT OF I. A. GONCHAROV’S "AN UNCOMMON STORY")
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Makarevich Ol’ga Vladimirovna
Published: August 2023

In "An Uncommon Story", I. A. Goncharov uses a number of concepts in order to interpret the issues related to literary property and unsolicited borrowings: imitation, parallel, borrowing, theft. His key metaphor, however, is the one that goes back to Horace, to follow in someone’s footsteps, and it allows the writer to distinguish between the concepts of plagiarism and forgery (contrefaçon), as well as to formulate his ideas about the limits of copyright.

THE FALL OF JERUSALEM AND "THE TALE OF THE CAPTURE OF KYIV IN 1240": LITERATURE AND HISTORY
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Veselov Fedor Nikitovich
Published: August 2023

The Tale of the Galician-Volhynian chronicle about the capture of Kyiv by Batu in 1240, with its detailed descriptions, has attracted historians for centuries, firmly occupying the niche of the main source for the reconstruction of the event. In parallel, many details of the Tale were proved to be based on the borrowings from the Byzantine literature. The goal of the article is to show that the identified features of the work of the Old Russian chronicler were prompted by the significance of Kyiv for his contemporaries as the sacred center of the «Russian land», and the literary parallels of the Tale do not seem to deprive it of its properties of a historical source.
