    RussianStudiesHu 2020 Charles J. Halperin AN AGNOSTIC APPROACH TO IVAN THE TERRIBLE1 In order to demonstrate that everything significant about Ivan’s life is contested, this article attempts to catalog as many as possible of the contested major issues touching Ivan. The author defines what we donot know about Ivan as everything that is uncertain, disputed, contested, problematic, or unexplained, even or especially if some historians think we know it but cannot “prove” it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Consequently, the author is conflating problems of source provenance, definition of concepts, interpretation, context, contradiction, and comparison, and thus reducing suggestive analysis and probable explanation to the unknown. The author has organized this survey of our ignorance under thematic rubrics: Sources, Ivan’s Life, Political History, Social History, Religion and the Church, Economic History, Foreign Policy, and Ivan’s Legacy. Any historian who proposes to study Ivan should begin by realizing the degree of uncertainty attached to historical studies of his life and reign. Keywords: Muscovy, Ivan the Terrible, oprichnina, Simeon Bekbulatovich, Kazan’, Livonian War, insanity Charles J.

  • Sebezh Has a Railroad Station on the Moscow-Riga Line, 189 Kilometers South of Pskov
    Sebezh has a railroad station on the Moscow-Riga line, 189 kilometers south of Pskov. In 1922 it was still part of Vitehsk province." Peter Kenez University of California, Santa Cruz William B. Husband. Revolution in the Factory: The Birth of the Soviet Textile Industry, 1917-1920. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1990. vii, 227 pp. $45.50 Cdn. Distributed in Canada by Oxford University Press, Don Mills, Ontario. The rank and file workers in the textile industry expressed precise and immanently concrete, if not altogether unpredictable, complaints. At a Nizhnii-Novgorod provincial conference, the workers at the Reshetekhin Factory reported a shortage of fuel and of skilled workers; the Trubanov Factory needed qualified specialists; the food crisis had reduced production significantly at the Molotov Factory and forced workers to desert the Nizhegorod Wool Factory in large numbers to search for food; a typhus epidemic reduced work at the Gorbatov Factory by half; and the Gorbatov and Rastiakin Rope Factories complained about the absence of cultural- educational work. Later reports indicated shortages of cotton had not yet affecf,ed the Medvedov and Danilov Factories, but the Shlikterman had just closed down; fuel shortages severely crippled the Tritskaia and Dubovits Factories, while the Strelkov and the former Tregubov Factories were forced to close their doors. But the problem with studying the work- ing class from the local perspective, specifically the textile workers of the Central Industrial Region, is that this "agenda," with but slight variations, holds true for, say, the fall of 1915 and the spring of 1917; the fall of 1918 and mid-1919; and even for the fall of 1921! As Husband astutely points out in his conclusion, the same 'local interests continued to be identified in 1918-1920 much as they had been against the Imperial and Provisional governments in 1917" (p.

  • Pskov's Fact Sheet
    FACTSHEET - PSKOV, RUSSIA City Facts City Level Success Factors Pskov has the second highest share of Public Transport (PT) users in its modal split among all CMM cities. This information was created from the results of three surveys with 855 responses in total. Reasons: - Pskov is the smallest CMM city in terms of area (km2). It also has a more than average high population size, making it the CMM city with the second highest density. Even though the public transportation system of Pskov currently comprises buses as the means of transportation, it has the capacity to reach 37,96 % of the passenger trips already. - During expert interviews that were carried out within the CMM tasks ‘preparatory Pilot area edged in red analysis’ it turned out that the awareness that City of Pskov Pilot Area, Old City of Pskov there is too much private car traffic in the city Size city area 95,6 km² Size pilot area 4,92 km² is already existing. Therefore people might Population 209 840 Population 15 600 choose PT instead of using the private car. Unemployment rate 0,69 % Average annual temp 5.9°C Population growth 0,6 % Challenges Comparisons with other cities - Highest population density among CMM cities Pskov has the highest car ownership rate - Smallest number of public transport modes among all CMM cities. Reasons: - Despite the high percentage of residents using PT, alternatives to private car use are few. City level Smallest number of public transportation modes and second highest population density - Walkability in Pskov remains low and lots of improvements must be made to the pedestrian infrastructure.

Nekrasov2 And ethereally brightening-within-me Beloved shadows arose in the Argentine mist Balmont3 The Tcherepnins are from the vicinity of Izborsk, an ancient Russian town in the Pskov province. If I remember correctly, my aged aunts lived on an estate there which had been passed down to them by their fathers and grandfathers. Our lineage is not of the old aristocracy, and judging by excerpts from the book of Records of the Nobility of the Pskov province, the first mention of the family appears only in the early 19th century. I was born on May 3, 1873 in St. Petersburg. My father, a doctor, was lively and very gifted. His large practice drew from all social strata and included literary luminaries with whom he collaborated as medical consultant for the gazette, “The Voice” that was published by Kraevsky.4 Some of the leading writers and poets of the day were among its editors. It was my father’s sorrowful duty to serve as Dostoevsky’s doctor during the writer’s last illness. Social activities also played a large role in my father’s life. He was an active participant in various medical societies and frequently served as chairman. He also counted among his patients several leading musical and theatrical figures. My father was introduced to the “Mussorgsky cult” at the hospitable “Tuesdays” that were hosted by his colleague, Dr.

  • February 14Th 10.00 Sedov Vladimir Valentinovich (Moscow IA RAS
    February 14th 10.00 Sedov Vladimir Valentinovich (Moscow IA RAS) Principal outcomes of the excavation of the church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche near Novgorod in 2016-2017: archeology and architecture The paper presents the main results of the extensive architectural and archaeological excavation of the stone church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche, built in 1103 by Prince Mstislav the Great and rebuilt in 1342-1343. This latter church, having survived in part, was conserved, and the current plans for the museumification of the 1103 church allowed for its complete excavation, which provided an opportunity to assess the architecture of this second oldest stone church building of Novgorod (the Sophia of Novgorod being the earliest). We now see this monument as a transitive point in local architectural history. Its large size, common type and architectural details firmly link it to the south Russian tradition of Kiev. At the same time, it stands at the very beginning of the Novgorod architectural tradition. The paper also covers some of the most vivid details of the monument and the traces of its rebuilding, as well as information on the pre- church layers unearthed during the excavation. Gippius Alexey Alexeevich (Moscow, HSE, ISS RAS), Mikheev Savva Mikhailovich (Moscow, ISS RAS) Complex of the Glagolitic graffiti of the church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche The paper discusses ten 12th- century Glagolitic graffiti, one of them being the longest old Russian Glagolitic text. The inscriptions are of interest both in terms of their content and of their paleography, which has allowed us to presume the existence of a specific Novgorod school of Glagolitic writing in the 11th and 12th centuries.
