Prävention von Bewegungsmangel-assoziierten Erkrankungen: Sachstand und Desiderate
Authors: Joisten Christine , Starke Dagmar
Published: August 2023

Trotz des Wissens um den gesundheitlichen Nutzens von Bewegung nimmt, verschärft durch die COVID-19 Pandemie, die körperliche Aktivität immer weiter ab. Eine Trendwende zeichnet sich trotz zahlreicher Maßnahmen nicht ab. Gründe hierfür liegen in einer fehlenden strukturell verankerten Prävention, geringer Vernetzung verschiedener Stakeholder und Akteur:innen sowie uneinheitlicher, kaum qualitätsgesicherter Herangehensweisen. Hier ist insbesondere die Politik gefordert, Rahmenbedingungen auf Basis der aktuellen Evidenz zu definieren und diese im Präventionsgesetz zu verankern.
The notion of “truth” (“pravda”) in the Late Medieval Bohemia
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Naumov Nikolay
Published: August 2023

The paper deals with the semantic transformation of the Old Czech term “pravda” (meaning “truth” or “justice” in different contexts) in the political and legal socioleсt of the Bohemian nobility from the end of the 14th till the end of the 15th century. This term was used in the charter issued by the Bohemian lords on the 5th of May, 1394 in such a way that it received a meaning of “straightness” denoting a legal reference point set in the past once and forever which does not allow any deviations. The lords declared their will “to put straight the Bohemian land and to bring it to the law and to the truth—in such a way as it stood firm in truth in the times of our forefathers.” The Land constitutions (Zemské zřízení) of the year 1395 written by the lords appeal to an unnamed “ancient constitution” and reproduce some laws from the “Statutes of the Kingdom” issued by Charles IV in 1355. However, in some other cases the Land Tables are inconsistent with the written law as they express their authors’ own notion concerning the social justice. An explanation could be found in the treatise “Land’s laws” by Ondřej of Dubá written around the turn of the 15th century: Here the term “pravda” means an opinion of a litigating person who considers himself to be right. The Hussites of the 15th century used the term as a motto, however, they meant the “God’s truth” (Old Czech: “pravda Boží”) and not the human one. In 1421 the diety of Čáslav issued a decree obliging everybody to confess the Four Prague Articles as “the truths of God”. Due to the absolutization of the term the Hussite legists of the second half of the 15th century Ctibor, of Cimburk and Viktorín of Všehrdy considered the “pravda” to be an impersonal, objectively given reality, i. e. the verity.
The relationships between the Moscow government and the Cossack Hetmanate and the deportation of population (“zgon”) from the Middle Dnepr region in the spring of 1679
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Florya Boris
Published: August 2023

After battles of Chigirin in 1677–1678 were finished, the Russian government and the Hetman Ivan Samojlovich were expecting a new massive Ottoman invasion, mainly aimed at Kiev. Therefore, the population of the Right-Bank Middle Dnepr region was deported to the Left-Bank Ukraine to make supply and accommodation difficult for the Ottoman army. Those events were studied in details by Nikolaj Kostomarov, based on archival sources. He stated, that Hetman Ivan Samojlovich organized the deportation by an order from Moscow. However, a new study of archival documents, especially those not used by Kostomarov, reveals that it was Samojlovich who initiated the deportation (“zgon”), sending to the Right-Bank Ukraine troops under the command of his son, Semen Samojlovich. The Tsar’s letter to approve this decision had not yet been received in Baturin (the Hetman’s residence) at that point. The Moscow government supported the action taken by Samojlovich and sent a Russian troop under the command of voivode Grigorij Kosagov to take part in the operation. The deportation was completed quickly because the local population did not resist and, moreover, was ready to move. People of the Right-Bank Ukraine did not want to recognize the Ottoman authority, as the previous attacks of the Ottoman army were accompanied by total devastation of cities and massive killings.
The discussion of the “Hungarian Question” in the UN and the problem of Hungary’s Exit from the political isolation, 1957–1963
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Stykalin Alexander
Published: August 2023

The most powerful uprising in Budapest on October 23, 1956, which immediately threatened the existence of the communist regime in Hungary, and the entry of Soviet troops in order to suppress it caused a wide international resonance, which on October 28 led to the discussions on the Hungarian question at the UN Security Council, and later, in November, at the UN General Assembly. In November, as tensions in the Middle East following the British, French, and Israeli attacks on Egypt, which had nationalized the Suez Canal, eased, discussions of the situation in Hungary came to the fore at the UN. Facing the opposition from the USSR, the adoption by the UN General Assembly in November-December 1956 of numerous resolutions on Hungary did not bring any real effect, with the exception of those that made it possible to improve the situation of 200,000 Hungarian refugees who rushed to Austria and Yugoslavia after the suppression of the revolution. In 1957, the General Assembly discussed the report of the special UN committee on Hungary, formed to study the situation in the country that had developed as a result of the Soviet military intervention. In the subsequent years, the United States and their allies used the discussion of the “Hungarian question” in the UN for propaganda purposes, in an effort to weaken the Soviet influence on the countries of the awakening “Third World”. At the same time, it occupied an increasingly peripheral position every year. Its subsequent fate was directly dependent on the further evolution of the János Kádár regime. The removal of this issue from the UN agenda in 1963 was a response to the announced general amnesty for the convicted participants of the 1956’s uprising. It finally brought Kádár’s Hungary out of the diplomatic isolation, in which the country found itself after the illegal change of power with the direct Soviet military support in November 1956.
The main trends in the development of the Soviet-Romanian relations at the highest level in the second half of the 1970s — the first half of the 1980s
Authors:   National Institute of the Studies of Totalitarianism (Romania), Buga Vasile
Published: August 2023

Since the beginning of the 1960s, in Romanian foreign policy, the desire to pursue a more independent course, which puts at the forefront not the interests of the entire Soviet Bloc, but national priorities, has led to a complication of relations with the Soviet Union. Differences between the two parties became most acute in August 1968, when Romania condemned the intervention of five of its Warsaw Pact allies in Czechoslovakia. In subsequent years, efforts were made from both sides to restore friendly relations between the two countries, which was manifested in the signing in 1970 of a new Soviet-Romanian treaty of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance. The next important milestone in the development of the bilateral relations was the exchange of highest-level visits in 1976. During regular meetings, L. I. Brezhnev and N. Ceauşescu showed not only disagreements on a number of key issues of international relations (problems of disarmament, the question of the expediency of the Soviet military action of 1979 in Afghanistan), but also differences in approaches to the very principles of relations between Socialist countries. Nevertheless, the parties managed to avoid sharp conflicts. In comparison with L. I. Brezhnev, his successor Yu. V. Andropov took a tougher stance on issues that were the subject of Soviet-Romanian disagreements. A new positive turn in Soviet-Romanian relations took shape in 1984, on the very eve of Perestroika. By this time, the Soviet leadership showed a greater understanding of the motives of the Romanian official position. In addition, the deterioration of the situation in the Romanian economy increased the interest of the Romanian leadership in developing close economic ties with the USSR.
Adaptation of verbs borrowed from Spanish in the speech of descendants of Ukrainian immigrants living in South America
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pilipenko Gleb
Published: August 2023

The paper discusses models and strategies for the adaptation of verbs borrowed from Spanish into the migrant dialects of the Ukrainian language spoken in South American countries. There are models in which the Spanish verb is borrowed with the Spanish infinitive ending and without it. The reasons behind choosing one of the models in the speech of descendants of Ukrainian immigrants are investigated. It is stated that one must take into account a set of criteria that affect this process (the frequency of lexemes, their semantics, the number of syllables, etc.). The paper identifies new types of adaptation of borrowed verbs that have not been previously discussed in linguistic publications. The cases of bare use of verbal lexemes in the speech of informants are also analyzed. Examples of the aspect pairs from borrowed Spanish verbs are discussed. This category is in the process of grammaticalization. In some cases, when forming an aspect pair with a prefix, informants apply prefixes inherent to the respective verbal prototypes in their native dialect. The copying of verb control from both Ukrainian and Spanish when using a borrowed verb is also attested. Using the example of the Ukrainian-Spanish bilingualism in the migrant community living in South American countries for a little more than a century, we have the opportunity to observe the changes that occur in the Slavic verbal system under the influence of the dominant Romance language.
Czechs among Serbs and Croats: An overview of a sociolinguistic expedition in 2022
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Borisov Sergej
Published: August 2023

In August 2022, the author conducted a second field study in the Czech diasporas of Serbia and Croatia. It focused on the descendants of the settlers from Bohemia and Moravia, who arrived to the lands bordering the Ottoman Empire during the 19th century. The Czech communities in these regions are in contact not only with the majority ethnic groups, Serbian and Croatian, but also with other minorities, among which in Serbia are Hungarians and Romanians; and in Croatia Serbs, Hungarians, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Italians. In the village of Češko Selo in Vojvodina for the first time the author visited the annual gastronomic and musical festival “The Serbian Banat”, which is attended by representatives of the Czech minority and guests from the Czech Republic. Over 30 hours of interviews were recorded during the expedition. In conversations with the Czechs, traditions and rituals associated with holidays and important events of the calendar and family cycle were discussed, as well as issues of the language and cultural policy of the states in which they live. Interviews with Serbs and Croats were devoted to the perception of the Czech diasporas “from outside”. Five cemeteries were documented, and it is planned to digitalize the epitaphs for further complex linguistic analysis.
The town and the townspeople in the novel “Garden, Ashes” by Danilo Kiš
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Sagalovich Elena
Published: August 2023

The novel by Serbian author Danilo Kiš (1935‒1989) “Garden, Ashes” (1965) is his first major work. The novel demonstrates the writer’s completely formed style, models and techniques, as well as his key themes and concepts. The topoi and loci of a relatively small provincial town, as well as the socio-anthropological types of the townpeople are presented through the prism of a “child’s perspective” in the memoirs of the narrator-hero, colored by the adult bitter irony. The town appears full of sounds, colors, smells, and the child’s memory captures urban legends, rumors, and everyday practices of townpeople (country walks on Sundays). In the novel there are also special spaces (heterotopia) — a room in a house on the Horse Chestnut Street, a train compartment, a ghetto where the father is sent— where the hero-narrator gets a special experience. The novel is based on the facts of the writer’s biography, closely related to the tragic events of the twentieth century (the World War II and the death of his father in Auschwitz).
Some features in the representation of the regional identity of the characters in the novel “The Vershalin Paradise” and the novella “Danuta” by A. N. Karpyuk
Authors: Lamm Maria
Published: August 2023

In the borderland region, conditions arise for the formation of a special type of worldview. It is expressed in the emergence of a distinctive regional identity. For the work of the Belarusian writer A. N. Karpyuk characteristic is the understanding of the specifics of regional perception and its subsequent upgrade to the national level. The texts of the works are analyzed using the main structural categories of the spatial myth: Freedom of movement, social mobility, the logic of perception of the landscape by the characters. According to the plot of both works, in a situation of repeated changes of state affiliation, the formation of a local and, later, a national intelligentsia takes place: Teachers, and Priests. The balance of the national and the regional is largely determined by the specifics of relying on historical tradition and modernity. Probably due to ideological reasons, these plots are described by the author in different ways. However, the structural similarity of the two stories allows us to analyze the space surrounding the characters through the frontier myth, the peculiarities of its expression and perception.
Language markers of the Slovak cultural code in the translation of the German-language novel by Irena Brežná “The Thankless Stranger” into Russian
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Kniazkova Viktoria
Published: August 2023

In the novel “The Thankless Stranger”, written in German, the Slovak-Swiss writer Irena Brežná demonstrates the path of the search for national identity. Through reflections on the languages, cultures, and mentalities of the two peoples, the author manages to find some reference points to define national identity. Identifying the collective self-consciousness with the individual one, in the novel the writer builds a dichotomy of the emigrant’s personal national identity through gender, age and language self-determination. This work is carried out by means of artistic language, through the fabric of which two cultural codes collide: The native and the host. The novel traces descriptions of the Slovak and the German languages, comparisons of their grammatical structure, features of their lexicons, nuances and differences in the use of certain language units. Studying the linguistic features of a new culture, the main character follows the path of accepting a new country. Starting from the differences in the two languages, the heroine of Brežná develops a new double identity of an emigrant. Brežná emphasizes that it is through “meeting with another” that one can see the hidden face of one’s own identity, thus accepting a new homeland, without losing her original one.
Forced to become an academic: Two lives of Mikhail Groedinger
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Barinov Igor
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the personality of Mikhail Osipovich Groedinger (1864–1936), a famous Belarusian legal scholar, one of the creators of the Belarusian Soviet legislation and the only jurist member of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus during its Soviet period. Highly honored in his lifetime, Groedinger became the subject of the various complementary publications after his death. However, according to the documents, previously unknown to the biographers, the future member of the Academy had significantly edited his official biography and had become a researcher largely due to circumstances. Besides the reconstruction of Groedinger’s true life and work before the Russian revolution, the article suggests a deep exploration of his family history, aiming to represent the models of acquiring and securing of the social status passed from generation to generation. The extensive material related to the Groedinger family also makes it possible to trace how the instrumentalization of the loyalty made it easy to adapt to the new conditions in a perpetually changing political situation. Furthermore, the Groedinger case provides a new approach to the study of the conformal behavior in the Soviet Union, genetically linking it to the similar practices in the Russian Empire.
The Institute of Slavic Studies of the Academy of Sciences in Leningrad (on the history of the research)
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Arzhakova Larisa
Published: August 2023

The article presents the evolution in the research on the history of the Institute of Slavic Studies (Academy of Sciences of the USSR) in Leningrad (1931–1934). This process began in 1979 with a study by K. I. Logachev, who focused on the activities of the Institute of Slavic Studies in Leningrad in the context of the first stage of the formation and development of Slavic Studies in Soviet Russia (1917–1934). Subsequent archival investigations by M. A. Robinson, E. P. Aksenova, and others have considerably expanded the field of research, during which the structure, the staff of the Institute, the basic principles and results of its academic and pedagogical work, and the reasons for its liquidation have been revealed and analyzed. While stressing the obvious advances made in the study of the history of the Leningrad period of the Institute of Slavic Studies, it should be noted that the analysis of the academic Slavic Studies in the 20th century as a whole awaits more careful attention. The main organizations that worked in this field were the Institute of Slavic Studies in Leningrad; the Department of Slavic Studies at the Leningrad Branch of the Institute of History, Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1938); the Department of Slavic Studies at the Institute of History, Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1939); the Institute of Slavic Studies, Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1947), including the Leningrad group of the Institute (1950). The integral approach especially makes sense, considering that the same person, the member of the Academy N. S. Derzhavin, was the head of the academic structures in Leningrad.
New documents on the life of the former Hetman Petr Doroshenko in Russia. Materials from the register book of the Little Russia office, 1691–1696
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kochegarov Kirill
Published: August 2023

The publication significantly widens our knowledge on the Moscow period of life of the prominent political and military leader of the Right-Bank Ukraine Hetman Petr Doroshenko, who capitulated to the army of prince Grigory Romodanovsky and the Hetman of the Left-Bank Ukraine Ivan Samoylovych. Doroshenko handed them over the Hetman’s regalia and was sent to Moscow under the military escort. There he was granted the profitable estate of Jaropolets. In the register book of court cases of the Little Russia office there were a lot of notes for 1691–1696 about documents, presented to the office, that concerned mainly different lawsuits against Doroshenko. Those materials reveal characteristics of conflicts between the former hetman and his neighbors, Podmoskovye landlords, which concerned some disputable lands and harboring of fugitive peasants as well as shed light on interactions between Doroshenko and the voivodes of Volokolamsk and his property relations with other noblemen.
Letters of the Carpatho-Russian activists Dmitriy and Olga Vislotsky to Catherine Breshkovsky
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Dronov Mikhail
Published: August 2023

The publication presents letters from the famous Lemko activist Dmitriy Vislotsky and his wife Olga (nee Burik), addressed to the “Grandmother of the Russian Revolution” Catherine Breshko-Breshkovskaya, who took part in the social and cultural life of the interwar Subcarpathian Rus’. Vislotskys had both business and informal relations with Breshko-Breshkovskaya. It is noteworthy that in the conditions of competition in the Carpathian region of various ethno-national ideologies, both Breshko-Breshkovskaya and Vislotskys (at least in the early 1920s) considered the Rusyn population as part of the All-Russian nation.
The report of Ivan Kostiushko to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on the reform of the Institute of the Slavic Studies in 1968
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Marney Lyudmila , Nosov Boris ,   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2023

The publication opens a cycle of studies about the history of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and of the Russian Slavic studies in the second half of 1940s–1960s in general. This paper focuses on the report of the Soviet historian of Poland Ivan Kostiushko on the project to transform the Institute of Slavic Studies into an Institute of European Socialist Countries. The main idea of the Kostiushko’s report reached beyond the discussion about the reform of the Institute of Slavic Studies, concerning principle points of transformation of the historical studies in the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union. Kostiushko’s proposition was rejected by governing bodies of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Academy of Sciences as well as by historians, who specialized in Slavic studies. Kostiushko’s report, however, presented significant issues about ways and forms of the evolution of historical studies and Slavic studies in the USSR in the 1960s.
Word in the language of culture of the Old Believers of South America
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Belova Olga
Published: August 2023

This is a review of the book by Olga G. Rovnova, based on the linguistic material collected by the author in 2010–2017 in the communities of Old Believers (chasovennye) in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Uruguay. The book includes essays on the history, culture and the Russian dialectal language of the Old Believers, as well as a fragment of the “Dictionary of the Dialect of the Old Believers of South America”, on which Olga G. Rovnova has worked for many years. The author analyzes the sociolinguistic situation in the communities of the Old Believers of South America and identifies a set of most important features of the dialects that have not been affected by the standardized literary Russian language. She characterizes the confessional and national self-identification of the Old Believers based on their language, the oral and written forms of the dialect, and the ways of coexisting of Russian and other languages in different local traditions. The book also proposes a solution to the question of establishing the linguistic ancestral homeland of the Old Believers — the territory of their maternal dialects (north-east of Nizhny Novgorod, south-west of Kirov and east of Kostroma regions).

The Yugoslav Kingdom and the Soviet Russia/Union (1918–1924). Mutual Recognition and Treaty Attempts
Authors:   Department of History of Yugoslavia, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Životić Aleksandar
Published: August 2023

Based on published and unpublished archival sources of Yugoslav and Soviet origin, as well as relevant memoirs and historiography, the article examines the course of negotiations between the Yugoslav and Soviet diplomatic representatives in 1918-1924 on mutual recognition and establishment of regular diplomatic relations. The circumstances under which the negotiations began, the reasons that prompted both sides to them, the influence of the interested powers and the Yugoslav Little Entente allies are analyzed. The diplomatic steps taken by the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes immediately after the end of the First World War and aimed at normalizing relations with the largest and most important Slavic country coincided with the efforts of the revolutionary authorities of Russia to break out of isolation and take their place in the international community. Although mutual interests dictated the rapid and effective normalization, a number of factors caused the failure of negotiations. There were fears in Yugoslavia that mutual recognition would lead to a strengthening of the role of Communists in society and that Bolshevik propaganda would undermine the foundations of the existing state system. In addition, the tacit and often direct support of various separatist political groups in Yugoslavia by the Bolsheviks was particularly suspicious. Despite a number of significant political factors and support for rapprochement with the Soviets of a significant part of society, the most influential figures of the Radical Party led by Nikola Pashich, as well as King Alexander Karageorgievich, reacted negatively to this idea.
Slovak temporal diminutive chvíľka against the background of German and Hungarian equivalents (according to corpus data)
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Vashchenko Daria
Published: August 2023

The article examines the meaning of the Slovak temporal diminutive noun chvíľka ‘minute’ on the corpus matter. The lexeme is analyzed in the intralanguage aspect, when its semantics are analyzed against the background of the Slovak substantives chvíľa ‘minute’ and okamih ‘moment, instant’ – and in the interlanguage, its structural and semantic correlates are established in German and Hungarian, which are adjacent to Slovak and have been in contact with it for a long time within the common state. In the first part, based on the analysis of the indicators of the logDice association measure, the combinable properties of the nouns chvíľka, chvíľa, okamih are revealed. It is shown that chvíľka semantically occupies an intermediate position between chvíľa and okamih, it tends to designate situations with minimal internal tension and at the same time carries in its meaning this super-brevity, and also has a fairly strong connection with mental verbs. In addition, chvíľka is characterized by the designation of everyday time. Next are considered the structural and semantic correlates of chvíľka in German and Hungarian. The German language has a system of substantives similar to the Slovak with a common meaning of short duration, when the indicators of exact vs inexact time are consistently different, in parallel with which there is an opposition of an ultra-short vs non-ultra-short segment. In the Hungarian language, exact and inexact tenses differ within the framework of hyper-brevity, and accumulate in lexemes with the meaning of non-hyper-brevity. It is shown that in the German language the main semantic equivalent for the Slovak chvíľka is primarily Augenblick ‘moment, instant’, in case the over–brevity of the situation or the contrast of its change is emphasized, and Weile ‘a short period of time, a minute’ – in situations that do not involve radical changes. If the locutor is asked to wait, the German equivalent is the lexeme Moment ‘moment'. At the same time, the full German correlate for chvíľka, diminutive Weilchen, in the bulk of uses is translated into Slovak by the non-diminutive chvíľa. In Hungarian, chvíľka in interval use correlates with the lexemes pillanat ‘moment, instant’ and perc ‘minute’, when fixing a certain state – with perc, and in the framework of constructions with the meaning of preceding or following – with same temporal adverbs.
About Evolution of the Semantics of Some Old Bulgarian Verbs with a Prefix
Authors:   Institute for Bulgarian Language „Prof. L. Andreychin“, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Кirilov Кiril
Published: August 2023

The article is dedicated to the problem of the existence of the empty prefixes the Old Bulgarian language. The linguistic material is collected from dictionaries and archives. Althought the research, by its nature, is interdisciplinary the main method is linguistic. The object of study are several verbs which form aspectual pairs (лѫчт : раꙁлѫчт; сѣшт : прѣсѣшт; ст : прост; любт : въꙁлюст). On theoretical perspective, the analysis of the article is based on the use of the Wey-Schoneveld effect, nowadays widely spread in Russian aspectology. The main purpose of the article is to analyze that prefixes which in the verbal derivation change only aspectual meaning of the imperfective verb. According to the fact that the prefix becomes aspectual when its semantic is similar to the semantic of the original verb (Wey-Schoneveld effect), we are trying to discover approaches when the polysemantic has made that semantic connection difficult to feel. Sometimes, in order to reveal the semantic relationship between the prefix on the one hand and the imperfect verb on the other, we need deep knowledge of the nature of the phenomenon that this verb names.
“They look at us, former officers, as material that, having used it, can be thrown away...”. An unknown letter from a Soviet military specialist about the betrayal of the headquarters of the 14th army in June 1919
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ganin Andrey
Published: August 2023

The material is a publication of an unknown letter from a Soviet military specialist, former Captain B.F. Chernihovsky-Sokol, to his classmate at the Military Academy G.I. Teodori about the events of the summer of 1919 in Ukraine. At that time, the situation at the front was unfavorable for the Reds: the Whites have captured the Donbass and launched an offensive in the Kharkov and Yekaterinoslav directions. The 2nd Ukrainian Soviet Army was reorganized into the 14th Army, but the name change and reorganization changed little. The army consisted of partisan units of Makhno and Grigoriev, and the troops lacked weapons and ammunition, since the Whites cut off supplies by rail. As a result of the defeat of the Soviet troops, Yekaterinoslav was abandoned by the Red Army units, and a group of employees of the headquarters of the 14th Soviet Army defected to the Whites. The letter details the circumstances of the surrender of Yekaterinoslav by the Reds. The author outlined the dramatic circumstances of the defense of the city, the confusion and lack of centralization in the management of troops, poor leadership on the part of the commander of the 14th Army K.E. Voroshilov, whose location was unknown, abuse of commissars who took staff cars for personal use, as well as ignorance of the operational situation by the headquarters. Of particular interest are the personal experiences of the author of the letter, who wrote about the plight of the military specialists of the Red Army, the inattention of the command to them, the danger for former officers to be captured by the Whites and other moments. The document is stored in the Central Archive of the Federal Security Service and is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

Published: August 2023

At the last two meetings of the Discussion Club of Literary Critics – a permanent scientific seminar of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences – the reports continued to cover the topic “Literary contours of modern Central and South-Eastern Europe: events, realities, trends”. The first session of this cycle took place in June 2022 and was devoted to the current literary situation in Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia. The DCL participants discussed a number of issues related to the numerous productions of Russian literature on the Slovak stage, which testify to the permanent interest in the “Russian theme” among the Slovak theater audience; perception of the image of Russia and Russians in Slavic fiction, reflection of Russian realities and disclosure of the problem of contact of cultures, the formation and existence of national stereotypes (based on a contemporary Czech novel), as well as translations of Slavic fantastic works into Russian, the current state of science fiction literature in Russia and other Slavic countries. In addition, some of the trends observed in the current literary process in Slovakia and the Czech Republic were discussed. The reports focused on the most significant new book releases, the mechanism for awarding literary prizes, such phenomena as the inevitable influence of politics and public life on literature, and the commercialization of the latter. The DCL participants reflected on what factors of the non-literary process can affect the prestige of the institute of literature, what can attract / scare off readers, why they prefer world classics over the works of modern Slavic authors, and also compared the situation in Slovakia and the Czech Republic with the state of the literary process in other Slavic countries.

The paper’s author, who was then working as a Humanities Program assistant at the Russian Center of Science and Culture in Belgrade under the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, relays a memoir that references relevant media articles and describes the events which preceded this commemorative event. The memory of this outstanding philologist has become at once part of the historical and cultural legacy of his native city and the everyday context of its inhabitants thanks to the involvement of key individuals who are commemorated here. As pro-Europeanism led to the change of many Serbian naming conventions, the hodonym Ulica Nikite Tolstoja was adopted thanks to the efforts of Serbs, the residents of Vrsac, Russian employees of the Russian Center of Science and Culture in Belgrade, and the descendants of the Russian refugees who emigrated to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia between the two world wars. The renaming unites several types of historical convention, i.e. (1) to commemorate an outstanding person biographically associated with a place, in this case, the city of Vrsac, (2) the great Russian writer's attitude towards Serbs regarding their descent from and recognition of the global significance of Russian culture; (3) commemoration of a strong Russian figure also spiritually close to the Serbs; (4) commemoration of a humanist who was engaged in the history of the Serbian language and the study of the spiritual culture of the Slavs; (5) attitude to historical events related to the liberation of Serbia and this city from Nazi occupation during World War II; (6) attitude to the heritage of Russian emigration which fostered the revival of Kingdom of Yugoslavia after the First World War; (7) commemoration of a figure who unites within himself two parts of Russian society torn apart by the Civil War. Each of these semantic layers is determined by the peculiarities of the outstanding personality and biography of Academician Nikita Tolstoy. The initiators of this commemorative toponym hoped that its multiple semantic layers would allow it to be preserved in the geocultural space of Vrsac regardless of future political change. Neither narrower Serbian-Russian relations nor other factors should diminish the legitimate breadth of the consideration behind it.

Control of TONSL by NOD2.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2023

We provide evidence here from loss-of-function studies in mice and gain-of-function studies in human cells (1, 2) which demonstrate control of TONSL (tonsoku-like, TONSL DNA repair protein) by the NLR (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor) family protein NOD2.
Target Weight and Gender Moderate Anti-Black Bias in Pain Perception

Perceivers recognize pain less readily on Black (vs. White) faces. The present work investigated whether this perceptual bias is moderated by target weight and gender across three experiments. Anti-Black bias in pain perception was mitigated within heavier-weight (vs. average-weight) male-appearing targets (Experiment 1) but was independent of female-appearing targets’ weight (Experiment 2). A well-powered, pre-registered Experiment 3 replicated these findings, confirming that target weight and gender interactively shaped anti-Black bias in pain perception: target weight moderated perceptual bias within male-appearing (but not female-appearing) faces. These findings help illuminate factors that interact to shape racial bias in pain perception and demonstrate the importance of intersectionality when studying social perceptual biases.

Comparing the relative performance of RF photonic transversal signal processors based on microcombs with discrete components versus integrated chips
Authors: Moss David
Published: August 2023

RF photonic transversal signal processors, which combine reconfigurable electrical digital signal processing and high-bandwidth photonic processing, provide a powerful solution for achieving adaptive high-speed information processing. Recent progress in optical microcomb technology provides compelling multi-wavelength sources with compact footprint, yielding a variety of microcomb-based RF photonic transversal signal processors implemented by either discrete or integrated components. Although operating based on the same principle, processors in these two forms exhibit distinct performance. This letter presents a comparative investigation into their performance. First, we compare the performance of state-of-the-art processors, focusing on the processing accuracy. Next, we analyze various factors that contribute to the performance differences, including tap number and imperfect response of experimental components. Finally, we discuss the potential for future improvement. These results provide a comprehensive comparison of microcomb-based RF photonic transversal signal processors implemented using discrete and integrated components and provide insights for their future development.
MGAT4B is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that mannosyl (alpha-1,3-)-glycoproteinbeta-1,4-N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase, isozyme, encoded by MGAT4B, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. MGAT4B mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of MGAT4B in primary tumors, however, was not correlated with patient survival outcomes. Modulation of MGAT4B expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 6 (Langereis blood group), encoded by ABCB6, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. ABCB6 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast.

E8⊗E8 Julia Set Embedding via Bohmian Trajectories ⊗ Cl(16) ⊗ 26DBST
Authors: Thornton Kaylin Marcus
Published: August 2023

This paper endeavors to illuminate ways of extending Julia Sets into the exceptional Liegroup E8 ⊗ E8, unveiling connections between fractal geometry and profound symmetries. Theprimary aim is to demonstrate how Julia Sets, born from the study of complex dynamics, can bemapped and embedded in symmetrical properties of E8 ⊗ E8. Through a meticulous explorationof this embedding process, the paper seeks to reveal how the rich and infinite patterns of JuliaSets harmonize with the geometric and algebraic structures inherent to E8 ⊗ E8. This endeavornot only sheds light on the potential unity between seemingly disparate mathematical domainsbut also offers novel insights into the fundamental fabric of the universe, where geometry,symmetry, and intricate fractals coalesce into a new motion of understanding.
