  • The Pyrogenic Archives of Anthropogenically Transformed Soils in Central Russia
    geosciences Article The Pyrogenic Archives of Anthropogenically Transformed Soils in Central Russia Alexandra Golyeva 1,* , Konstantin Gavrilov 2 , Asya Engovatova 2, Nikita Mergelov 1,* and Nailya Fazuldinova 3 1 Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, 119017 Moscow, Russia 2 Institute of Archaeology, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117036 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] (K.G.); [email protected] (A.E.) 3 Faculty of Soil Science, Moscow State University, 119991 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.G.); [email protected] (N.M.); Tel.: +7-916-329-4335 (A.G.) Abstract: Charred materials (anthracomass) stored within a soil constitute a major part of its py- rogenic archive and could provide evidence of past fire events, both natural and anthropogenic. However, the dynamics of man-made contributions to the total anthracomass of soil at different time scales are insufficiently understood. In this study, we determined the anthracomass concentrations, stocks, and particle-size distribution in anthropogenically transformed soils of different genesis and ages. Materials were collected from the following archaeological sites within Central Russia—3 Upper Paleolithic sites (Avdeevo, Khotylevo-2 and Yudinovo-1), 2 Early Iron Age settlements (Khotylevo-2 and Yaroslavl), and 1 Medieval site (Yaroslavl). Samples from different cultural layers (CLs), plough layers, and native soils (control) were studied. We identified anthracomass accumulation over a wide chronological scale starting from the Upper Paleolithic Period. The high degree of preservation of anthracomass in ancient anthropogenically transformed soils was explained by the presence of Citation: Golyeva, A.; Gavrilov, K.; large fragments of charred bones, which are more durable in comparison to wood charcoal.

Just another war, with all the usual trademarks. However, this conflict had a twist which drew my attention. At the centre of the burgeoning Ukrainian violence, were openly fascist nationalistic groups who viewed Stepan Bandera, the Nazi collaborator responsible for the Volhynia Massacre, (among many others) as their hero. It seemed the scourge of neo-Nazism was again rising in Europe. At first Western media covered events with their usual bias. Articles in the Washington Post, New York Times, Die Welt, the Guardian and countless media outlets, scrutinized the riots from various angles, some alleged overly forceful crackdowns by security services, while a few others criticized radical elements among the protesters.

  • Russian Eugenics Journal
    Preface USSIAN EUGENICS AND THE Russian Eugenics Journal have always evoked interest; how- Rever, the question was not resolved: If the articles in this journal are so good, then why did eugenics lead to racism? Indeed, 100 years ago the mainstream American eugenics meant racism, xenophobia, and compulsory sterilization. It appears that for exactly this reason the appearance of Anglo-American medical genetics was delayed for about 20 years. However, the Russian eugenics movement was designed and has developed as a pre- cursor to research in human evolution, human behavior, and human genetics. “Why then don’t we call eugenics ‘medical genetics’?” asked a colleague. But eugenics is not medical genetics; it is not even entirely a science. A science does not appear in ready form like Athena from Zeus’s head; there needs to be a preliminary orientation period. Russian eugenics was a discussion of certain themes and approaches, a kind of anticipation. N.K. Koltsov’s eugenics addressed a comprehensive study of man. For Yu.A. Filipchenko, eugenics was demographic statistics. The Russian eugenics movement was concerned with a wide variety of fields, includ- ing evolutionary genetics and evolutionary theory, population genetics and population ecology, the study of human constitution and typology, psychology and behavioral sci- ence, pathography, pedology, and many others. All these fields were unlucky to be disfa- vored by Stalin, and as a result they ceased, and books and journals on these subjects were banned. In 2005, over winter vacation, an old friend asked me what I would be doing over the near year. I mentioned Dawn ..., and he replied (only partially joking): “Twenty years ago you would have been shot for that right away.” But this book was conceived 30–35 years ago: Eugenics is related to population genetics, my first field of study, and 20 years ago I was already giving a series of lectures on the history of eugenics.
