Identifying relevant international forest regimes for South Korea based on their issues
Authors: Kim H. , Kang H.M. , Choi S.I. , Jeon S.
Published: December 2020

South Korea has focused on bilateral agreements to supply timber since the 1990s which requires cooperation with forest-related international organisations. This study analysed the relationship between South Korean and international forest regimes by identifying the issues these regimes
face and analysing South Korea's contribution to these regimes. The study used data from an in-depth content analysis of key policy documents between South Korea and each of the regimes. The results confirm six forest-related international issues: Sustainable Forest Management, Sustainable
Development Goals, forest land degradation and desertification, climate change, illegal logging, forest biodiversity, and species conservation. South Korea contributed to these regimes through cooperative initiatives and projects. This contribution, furthermore, directs other countries' participation
to confront the issues. Most of the international forest-related issues in South Korea are derived from external elements such as international agreements or governances. South Korea also uses international regimes to encourage national goals.
Developing indicators for participatory forest biodiversity monitoring systems in South Sumatra

Published: December 2020

There is often a striking disconnect between communities that create biodiversity frameworks, set targets, and design monitoring system and those that actually implement them. This study aims to (i) develop an integrated (participatory) approach to contextualize available sets of biodiversity
indicators to meet specific stakeholders' needs, and (ii) select high-performance and rewarding indicators for participatory forest biodiversity monitoring systems (PFBMS). We used a hierarchical characterization approach to biodiversity to create a global pool of indicators. Specialists then
used a framework consisting of multi-tiered filters to select high performance and rewarding indicators from the pool applicable to PFBMS at province and forest management unit levels in Indonesia. Selected indicators are able to reflect changes taking place at various levels in the ecological
hierarchy from landscape, habitat, to species level including complete ecosystem attributes, i.e., structural, functional, and compositional. The integrated approach combines the expert guidance and experience of professionals at province and local levels; ensures global-local connection;
and follows the participatory approach.

COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). COVID-19 has yielded many reported complications and unusual observations. In this article, we have reviewed one such observation: an association between malaria endemicity and reduced reported COVID-19 fatality. Malaria-endemic regions have a significantly lower reported COVID-19 fatality rate as compared to regions where malaria is non-endemic. Statistical analyses show that there is a strong negative correlation between the reported SARS-CoV-2 fatality and endemicity of malaria. In this review, we have discussed the potential role of CD-147, and potential malaria-induced immunity and polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients. Noteworthy, the results may also be due to underreported cases or due to the economic, political, and environmental differences between the malaria endemic and non-endemic countries. The study of this potential relationship might be of great help in COVID-19 therapy and prevention.

Published: December 2020

Objavom djela „Potential GNP: its measurement and significance“ (Okun, 1962) koncept Okunova zakona postaje važan dio globalne makroekonomske problematike. Empirijski utvrđena povezanost nacionalnog proizvoda i nezaposlenosti koja se očituje kroz Okunov zakon temeljnim dijelom pripada ekonomskoj empiriji. Bruto domaći proizvod i nezaposlenost su među glavnim makroekonomskim varijablama koje prikazuju kretanje gospodarstva jedne zemlje. Zemlje koje promatramo u ovome radu su 90-ih godina prošlog stoljeća prošle kroz tranzicijsko razdoblje odnosno razdoblje velikih gospodarskih, institucionalnih i gospodarskih promjena. Upravo zbog tih promjena zanimljiva nam je usporedba slovačkoga i hrvatskoga gospodarstva te testiranje Okunova zakona. Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati vrijedi li Okunov zakon za Hrvatsku i Slovačku, odnosno postoji li međusobna povezanost promatranih varijabli za te zemlje. Svrha rada je prikazati postoje li sličnosti između dva promatrana gospodarstva kada je u pitanju Okunov zakon. Ta sličnost će se prikazati na temelju analize podataka za razdoblje od 2000. do 2018. godine primjenom vektorske autoregresije. Na kraju rada prikazani su rezultati istraživanja te su povezani s implikacijama ekonomske politike u sferi tržišta rada koje izravno utječu na ekonomski rast i razvoj.

Utjecaj plaća na tržište rada u Republici Hrvatskoj
Authors: Prvonožec Stela
Published: December 2020

Tržište rada, vrijednost plaća i životni standard neraskidivo su povezane odrednice gospodarskog razvoja. Hrvatski BDP, životni standard i kupovna moć stanovništva među najnižima su u Europi. Rast plaća u Republici Hrvatskoj postoji, ali, kao i u većini zemalja srednje i istočne Europe, nije popraćen porastom produktivnosti radne snage. Glavnina dohotka hrvatskoga stanovništva otpada na prehranu, što se povezuje sa slabom produktivnošću gospodarstva. U strukturi dohotka stanovništva primjećuje se i znatna ovisnost o socijalnim transferima koji, za znatan udio stanovništva, predstavljaju razliku između siromaštva i relativno normalnog života. Republika Hrvatska je podbacila u kreiranju ekonomskih modela koji omogućuju gospodarski rast kroz tehnološki napredak i jačanje produktivnosti radne snage. Kako bi se poboljšao životni standard u Republici Hrvatskoj, nužno je riješiti strukturne probleme prisutne na tržištu rada i kreirati ekonomske politike koje potiču gospodarski rast. U ovome radu analizira se veza između vrijednosti plaća, tržišta rada i životnog standarda u Republici Hrvatskoj. Postavljena hipoteza glasi: strukturni problemi na hrvatskom tržištu rada utječu na vrijednost plaća, a posljedično i na životni standard hrvatskih građana. Cilj rada jest analizirati strukturne probleme na tržištu rada u Republici Hrvatskoj i njihov utjecaj na vrijednost plaća. Svrha rada je ukazati na važnost efikasnog tržišta rada u nacionalnom gospodarstvu Republike Hrvatske.

Post-Thaw Preservation of Anti-Microbial Lactobacillus Rhamnosus and Saccharomyces Boulardii Metabolite Complexes
Authors:   Mechnikov Institute of Microbiology and Immunology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, Kharkiv, Ukraine, Isayenko Olena
Published: December 2020

The paper demonstrates an antimicrobial effect of metabolite complexes of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii, obtained by own method, after 6 months’ storage in a frozen state (−23 ± 1ºС) in respect of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus haemoliticus, Enterococcus faecalis, Corynebacterium xerosis with multidrug resistance. Increase in diameters of growth inhibition zones (by (3.0 ± 0.4)–(6.1 ± 0.3) mm) for all the investigated pathogens under the influence of metabolite complexes (freshly obtained and after storage) with azithromycin has been proven. No significant difference in antimicrobial activity of antibacterial agents with freshly obtained complexes and after storage at (−23 ± 1)°C was found. The expediency of using the chosen storage method to design the brand new products as well as development of ‘auxiliary drugs’ for antibiotics was confirmed.

Despite the fact that Ilya Mechnikov was a zoologist, his contribution to the development of medicine is invaluable. The article reveals the details of the biography of this scientist, indicating the fact that his path to medicine was not accidental and began even earlier than his passion for zoology. Also, the article concerns the problem of the role of the Kharkiv University in the formation of Mechnikov as a scientist. Despite the wellknown assertion that this great scientist was self-taught and paved his own way to success in science, for he did not have sufficient resources to show his talents at a provincial university, the authors come to the conclusion that the biographies of Mechnikov’s contemporaries in Kharkiv demonstrate the opposite. Namely, that there were enough resources for young scientists at the Kharkiv University to fulfill their scientific ambitions, however, a series of certain circumstances did not allow the young Mechnikov to take full advantage of all opportunities he could have had in Kharkiv.

Medicine in the Byzantine empire: history and philosophy
Authors:   Kharkiv Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Oparin O.A.
Published: December 2020

It is shown that the history of medicine in the Byzantine Empire is characterized by almost complete stagnation of development throughout the entire thousand years of the empire, for which characteristic was the domination of religious and magical practices represented as astrology, magic, occultism, neoplatonism over scientific ones, extremely low levels of education and training of doctors. The article points out that one of the leading causes of stagnation of the development of medical science in the Byzantine Empire was the formation of the civil church, which was completely controlled, both in administrative and doctrinal terms, by imperial government, which led to the secularization of the church and its transformation in a great feudal lord; to introduction of pagan beliefs and provisions to the church; to formation and prosperity of superstitions and rituals characteristic of paganism. It is shown that the state subjugating church lost its necessary spiritual foundation (without which it is impossible to build a healthy and prosperous society) resulting in the formation of extremely backward socio-economic situation of Byzantium, with long persistence of slave relations, pervasive embezzlement, huge bureaucracy, corrupt executive system, sharp stratification of society, low level of science in general and medicine in particular.

Quality of life and mortality of Brazilian nonagenarians and centenarians with urinary incontinence
Authors: Ulrich Vivian , Alexander Susan , Bós Angelo José Gonçalves
Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVES: Urinary incontinence (UI) commonly occur in elderly people and it is associated with reduced functionality, quality of life and survival in older adults (65-80 years). Little is known about its impact in nonagenarians and centenarians. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the health and mortality of nonagenarians and centenarians with UI.METHODS: Nonagenarians and centenarians residents of Porto Alegre, Brazil, participated in this cohort study and were followed between 2016 to 2019. Survival analysis were performed using Cox Proportional Hazards Regression methods in the simple and adjusted models.RESULTS: The overall prevalence of UI was 56%, 64% among women and 38% among men (p<0.01). UI was more frequent in widowers (p <0.01), those who left home (p=0.02) and participated in social activities less frequently (p=0.07). Also they had a higher frequency of chronic diseases (p = 0.02), more symptoms of depression (p=0.08) and reduced cognitive performance (p=0.04). Participants with UI had reduced survival in the simple (HR 0.29, p=0.23) and adjusted analysis (HR 0.33%, p=0.19). The variables that influenced the most, UI and mortality, were participation in social activities, ability to leave the home, cognitive performance and lower-limb function/mobility.CONCLUSIONS: Although UI was not a direct predictor, it was associated with reduced survival. Nonagenarians and centenarians with UI will likely experience a lower risk of mortality if they continue to participate in social activities, preserve their cognitive performance and practice physical activities.

Authors: Bujaki Erika , Farkas Ágnes , Rigó Zita , Takács Mária
Published: December 2020

This report provides the findings of a retrospective surveillance study on the emergence and circulation of enteroviruses with their associated clinical symptoms over a nine-year period detected at the National Enterovirus Reference Laboratory in Hungary between 2010–2018.

Enterovirus (EV) detection and genotyping were performed directly from clinical samples. From 4,080 clinical specimens 25 EV types were identified with a median age of patients of 5 years and 68% of all cases affected children aged 10 years or younger, although infections occurred in all age-groups. In 130 cases neurological symptoms were recorded, in 123 cases the infection presented in skin related signs including hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), herpangina and rash. In 2010 EV-A71 was found to cause the majority of diagnosed EV infections while in 2011 and from 2014–2018, Coxsackievirus (CV)-A6 was identified most often. Echovirus E6 accounted for the most cases in 2012 and Echovirus 30 dominated in 2013. EV-D68 was identified only in 2010 and 2013.

Widespread circulation of several EV-A and EV-B viruses with occasional occurrence of EV-C and EV-D was detected. The ability of EVs to cause severe infections in sporadic cases and regular outbreaks highlight the importance of continued monitoring of circulating EV types.
National Stereotypes of Communicative Behavior in Virtual Business Communication
Authors: Uskova Olga , Linh Le
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to cross-cultural issues of virtual business communication. The urgency of this research is in finding out the causes of failures in virtual business communication between Russian and Vietnamese business partners. In the aspect of intercultural communication, national stereotypes of communicative behavior (hereinafter NSCB) that impede the effective business communication of Russian and Vietnamese speakers have been identified. In the aspect of virtual communication, based on linguistic and cultural analysis, the specifics of electronic business letters in Russian, English and Vietnamese is revealed. The results of the study indicated the following reasons of failures in virtual intercultural business communication: lack of direct interactions between business partners – speakers of different languages; representation of communicative intentions in written form; peculiarities in NSCBs, reflected in the national language; cultural differences in NSCBs of business partners; each language has its own means of verbalizing the communicative intentions associated with the NSCBs of the native speaker of that language. The study resulted in distinguishing the types of speech and etiquette violation in virtual business communication between Russian and Vietnamese partners, which might help in lessening communicative misunderstanding and achieving extra-linguistic goals of communication.

Prediction of genetic gains through selection of sweet potato accessions
Authors: Vargas Pablo F , Otoboni Maria Eduarda F , Lopes Beatriz G , Pavan Bruno E
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Due to the high genetic variability found in sweet potato and a low number of cultivars available on the market, there are opportunities for necessary improvements in crop breeding programs. The selection indexes are a favorable strategy to achieve higher yields through genetic gains obtained with the future population. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the selection gain of agronomic characters from sweet potato accessions for root production and dual-aptitude. 95 accessions and two commercial cultivars (Braslandia Branca and Brazlândia Roxa) were evaluated. A randomized block design with three replications of ten plants per plot was used. The index proposed by Mulamba & Mock was used to select superior individuals. The evaluated population showed high genetic variability providing considerable selection gains, being recommended some clones for tests of value for cultivation and use. The VR13-61 accession was the most recommended for root production and VR13-11 and VR13-22 for dual-aptitude.

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT The eggplant is a highly valuable horticultural crop grown all over the world and it is of substantial economic importance in Asia. However, its production is severely threatened by several soil-borne and foliar diseases, insect-pests, drought, heat, and frost damage. Therefore, efforts to transfer useful resistance genes into eggplant from their wild relatives is important. In the present study, interspecific and intraspecific hybridization was carried out, that included three cultivated genotypes of eggplant (Solanum melongena MEE, Solanum melongena MEP, Solanum melongena MEB) and one wild Solanum species (Solanum incanum INC). The F1 hybrids were made by inter and intraspecific hybridization. A total of 632 possible inter and intraspecific reciprocal crosses was performed where only three were successful. The minimum days to flowering were observed in parent MEP, and maximum plant height was measured in MEE×MEB. Maximum fruit length was observed in parent MEB. Furthermore, fruit diameter, leaf width, leaf length, and fruit yield per plant were found maximum in hybrid MEExINC. Our results suggest that these materials will be of great interest for the genetic improvement of eggplant; they may have a tremendous potential to increase tolerance to abiotic stresses, such as to drought and heat, as well as increased nutrient and herbal values. Findings of this study will be helpful for the human health, ultimately contributing to the development of a new generation of plants adapted to climate.

ABSTRACT Onion’s (Allium cepa) slippery skin caused by Burkholderia gladioli pv. alliicola is one of the bacterial diseases that stand out in producing regions of the Brazilian Northeast. Given the importance and potential threat of this disease, and the absence of resistant varieties, the aim of this study was to evaluate the reaction of onion genotypes to slippery skin and to analyze the tolerance stability of the most promising genotypes to different strains of the bacteria. Nine strains of B. gladioli pv. alliicola were artificially inoculated in onion bulbs cv. Baia Periforme and the three most aggressive strains (CCRMBG39, CCRMBG172 and CCRMBG212) were selected to evaluate the tolerance to the disease. Fifty-eight onion genotypes were challenged with the most aggressive strain (CCRMBG39) and 34 genotypes were considered as tolerant, with a disease severity varying from 9.79 to 13.42 mm. The fifteen most promising genotypes and the most susceptible genotype were selected to study the stability of tolerance using the three selected strains. The genotypes F2 (EHCEB 20151030 x EHCEB 20133015), Cascuda T5, Crioula Mercosul, Juporanga, EHCEB 20111036, Cascuda T6 and EHCEB 20142028 remained tolerant to the disease when inoculated with the three strains, with a disease severity ranging from 9.13 to 14.19 mm. In view of these results, we conclude that these genotypes can be used as potential sources of tolerance to onion slippery skin.

ABSTRACT Pepper plants of the genus Capsicum are widely grown worldwide. The Capsicum annuum species shows ornamental potential; nevertheless, in the state of Piauí, there has been a lack of studies on its performance, related to quality traits needed to meet market demand. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and associations between traits of ornamental interest in C. annuum in order to indicate, by simultaneous selection of traits, accessions to start an ornamental pepper breeding program in Piauí. We evaluated 16 accessions of C. annuum under plastic house conditions at Universidade Federal do Piauí. Number of days to flowering, number of days to fruit maturation, plant height, number of fruits per plant, fruit persistence, fruit length, fruit width, leaf length and fruit weight were evaluated. A significant difference (p≤0.01) between accessions for all traits was noticed. Coefficient of genetic variation / coefficient of experimental variation [Cvg/Cve (%)] ratios were greater than 1 and the genotypic determination coefficient (H²) values were all greater than 89.95%. The estimates of the genotypic correlations were higher in relation to phenotypic correlations in most of the traits, however, according to path analysis, an effect of residual variable (0.59) was verified. According to the results, the accessions BAGC 98, 199, 207 and 236 can be used as parents to start an ornamental pepper breeding program in Piauí.
Review of Claire Nally's Steampunk: Gender, Subculture and the Neo-Victorian. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2019.

Published: December 2020

In a world where ‘Victorian Values’ serve as an established trope to be satirised, but are also becoming frighteningly central to conservative political logics once more, Claire Nally’s Steampunk: Gender, Subculture & the Neo-Victorian offers a timely and welcome reflection on the possibilities and limitations of the mode. Nally imposes some much-needed structure onto this ‘ambivalent and contradictory discourse’ (107), problematising the idea of steampunk media and culture as ‘revolutionary’ while still highlighting the cultural importance of steampunk as both story and spectacle.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF ELECTORAL LAW AS IMPLEMENTED IN ELECTORAL SYSTEMS
Authors:   Perm State University, Khudoley D. M. , Khudoley K. M. ,   Perm State University
Published: December 2020

Introduction: the article analyzes the fundamental principles of electoral law and how they are implemented in various electoral systems. Purpose: to identify the objective criteria a democratic electoral system must meet. Methods: along with general scientific methods, there have been used specific scientific methods, including comparative legal and systemic ones. Results: there have been identified three principles of electoral law that can be recognized as fundamental: the principles of equal, free, and fair election. They mutually presuppose, guarantee, and supplement each other. Moreover, provisions of one principle can be corrected by provisions of the others. Thus, the principles of equal, free and fair election form an integral sustainable system whose elements are in a dialectical unity. These principles cover all the subjects of electoral law and electoral process and they must be followed at each stage of elections. Furthermore, they are complex and include provisions of a number of secondary principles (the principles of universal, equal, direct suffrage in a secret ballot, etc.). Conclusions: the above principles are implemented to the greatest extent in ranked voting. Some ranked voting systems ensure proportional representation of parties. Elections held based on such voting assure free and equal participation of both independent and party candidates. Many other majoritarian, proportional or mixed-member electoral systems do not meet the abovementioned criteria.
THE PRINCIPLE OF GOOD FAITH AND ITS IMPACT ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF LEGAL BONDS
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Zaytseva N. V.
Published: December 2020

Introduction: this article looks into the matter of how the principle of good faith, as applied in different legal systems, impacts the legal bonds between commercial entities, depending on whether such bonds actually exist or not, and in the context of classification of key contractual terms. Being essentially abstract, the principle of good faith can be interpreted in different ways from a legal perspective and, therefore, may entail different legal consequences, which, on the one hand, can close the legal and contractual gaps but, on the other hand, can give rise to legal uncertainty and destabilization of the civil turnover. Purpose: to identify the general legal elements of good faith and the ways the requirements of the generally binding character of good faith are applied at different stages of the contractual process; to define the conditions for the contractual performance to change under the influence of good faith. Methods: dialectical methods of research, deduction and induction techniques, empirical methods of comparison, description and interpretation as general scientific methods; there were also used specific scientific methods such as historical, legal comparison, and systems analysis. Results: analysis of the applicable legislation, court practice and scientific research shows that good faith is currently opposed to the formal concept, and this has become the cause of different approaches to assigning the generally binding character to good faith in the continental law and common law systems. The generally binding character of good faith is presumed in countries with the continental system of law because the judiciary often lacks any other possibility to take into account the actual will of the parties, whereas the common law countries operate a wide range of legal mechanisms for revealing the intentions of the parties, and, therefore, the generally binding character of good faith may jeopardize legal certainty and stability of legal bonds. Conclusions: the principle of good faith, whilst having many-faceted functions and tasks, is mainly aimed at taking into account the subjective component of legal relations in order to exclude the parties’ conduct intended to discriminate the legal position of the other party. Essentially, this objective consolidates all the legal principles because, notwithstanding the differences in legal substance, application of such principles by courts eventually brings about the same outcome. However, the forms of the discriminatory conduct prohibition do not produce the same impact on the legal bond development, and this can make commercial turnover unpredictable. In practice, when choosing an applicable legal principle, the judiciary would do better to opt for a model that would preserve the legal bond and would allow for achieving the contractual purpose, while excluding bad/unfair conduct of any one party.
LAWSUITS AGAINST GOVERNMENTS AND PRIVATE COMPANIES OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES OVER CLIMATE PROTECTION UNDER THE PARIS AGREEMENT 2015 (UK, NETHERLANDS, GERMANY AND FRANCE)
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN), Ermakova E. P.
Published: December 2020

Introduction: the article analyzes claims for climate protection under the Paris Agreement 2015 considered by state courts of the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and France. It is proved that the number of legal cases, both against governments and private companies, related to protection of climate from changes is steadily increasing. Applicants rely on constitutional and human rights laws in their efforts to hold governments accountable for tackling climate change issues. Climate litigation is also influenced by new scientific discoveries and developments in the field of climate change, which allow plaintiffs to more accurately determine the environmental impact of projects, policies and laws. In this regard, a comparative analysis of the above issues appears to be of key importance. Purpose: based on the analysis of judicial precedents, scientific sources and normative acts, to form an idea of the new category of court cases in European countries – lawsuits against governments and private companies aimed at protecting the climate from changes under the Paris Agreement 2015. Methods: empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; special scientific methods (legal-dogmatic and the method of interpretation of legal norms). Results: the conducted study showed that in Europe, over the past few years, the concept ‘protecting the climate from changes’ has shifted from the political to the legal sphere – active citizens and environmental organizations began to sue their governments and private companies based on the provisions of the Paris Agreement 2015, international documents and national legislation. In general, state courts of European countries (Germany, the Netherlands) have arrived at a conclusion that the governmental climate policy is subject to judicial review and must comply with the government’s responsibilities to protect fundamental rights in accordance with the Constitution. Conclusions: all lawsuits filed to protect the climate from changes under the Paris Agreement 2015 can be divided into two categories: a) lawsuits filed against governments; b) claims filed against private companies. Among the lawsuits filed against individual governments, the most successful has been the ‘Urgenda’, case, with the decision in this case confirmed by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in December 2019. Claims aimed at ensuring that private companies also comply with the terms of the Paris Agreement (although not being parties to it) can be called a new type of lawsuit: most of these cases are not completed and are pending before state courts. Such lawsuits are directed against private companies that pollute atmosphere the most – Shell, Total, etc.
NORMS AND PRACTICES OF THE CONTROL OVER CRIMINAL OFFENCES IN THE USSR: TENDENCIES OF THE “THAW”
Authors:   Institute of Russian History, Russian Academy of Sciences, Zubkova E. Yu.
Published: December 2020

State policy towards asocial conduct, including breach of law and crime, had been evolving through Soviet history. Until the mid-1950s, the main vector was repressive, with the isolation of people from the society. Repressive practices, including a harsh penal code, sometimes served as a reaction to a real aggravation of the crime situation, for instance, after World War Two. However, more often the authorities and law enforcement institutions acted out of inertia, lacking experience of other methods and believing in the preventive effect of harsh measures. Against this background, the experiments of the early “Thaw” are especially interesting: the creation of new norms and practices of social control corresponded to the changing format of relations between the state and society, on the one hand, and the marginal groups, on the other. The turn in criminal policy took place after 1953 despite the spike of criminal activities. Considerable part of cases became depoliticized; emphasis shifted to the analysis of social causes of crime; the policy of isolating socially marginal groups gave way to attempts to incorporate them into “main” society. New trends required corresponding normative base, which was actively developed in that period (the work on new penal codes). This article considers the problem of criminality in the context of changing norms and practices of social control during the Thaw. This study is methodologically synthetic; it allows to combine the historiographical tradition of research of crime in the USSR and the analysis of crime in contemporary criminology, deviantology, and sociology.
LETTERS “TO THE AUTHORITIES” AS A SOURCE ON THE HISTORY OF STUDENT LIFE DURING THE CIVIL WAR
Authors:   Russian Research Institute for Cultural and Natural Heritage, Eremeeva A. N.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to student letters "to the authorities" in 1918 – early 1920s, taken as a source for studying the student corporation during the Civil War. The research is limited to the Cossack regions of the Russian South – Don and Kuban, centers of the armed struggle against the Bolsheviks. Higher education institutions were founded there shortly before the revolution. As a result of a powerful intellectual migration from Petrograd and Moscow, new universities were founded in 1918–1919. Student letters used in the study were obtained from the archival funds of higher educational institutions, government and administrative bodies of the State Archive of Krasnodar region, the State Archive of Rostov region, and the Professional Education Department Main Collection of the State Archive of the Russian Federation. Recipients’ and addressee’ statuses, time, subject, and motivation for writing are taken as parameters and considered in the analysis of letters. Attention is given to notes, official inscriptions on the documents, as well as accompanying letters, official answers, autobiographies, questionnaires, etc. The content of letters is examined within the context of the higher education space formation, along with migration processes of the revolutionary years, and the situation of civil confrontation in the South of Russia. Later, the authors of some letters became known in various fields; the discovered texts help recreate the milestones of their early biographies, especially since many tried to conceal the fact of their life and schooling on non-Soviet territories. The research reveals specific themes and plots of student letters "to the authorities", their value as an authentic source of information. These themes are admission / transfer to another institution, student mobilization, ways of solving material problems, and the activities of student organizations. The author notes how the contradictions within the anti-Bolshevik camp (clearly pronounced on the Don and Kuban) influenced the content of the texts. This is especially true for collective messages "to the authorities" that defended the interests of particular groups or students as a whole. It is shown that the interpretation of certain events and processes was determined both by the real needs of the authors of the letters and by the current political situation. In general, letters "to authorities" are an important source for reconstructing students’ daily life and the vital functions of higher education institutions in extreme conditions.
