KORKONOSENKO13 T his time we offer a rather unusual section to the journal’s readers, connected by a general theme; ‘The disciplinary identity of the media researcher’. Certainly, some publications of the journal touched on this theme earlier, as well as the authors of other scholarly works, cf. the title of one of François Heinderyckx’s articles: ‘The Academic Identity Crisis of the European Communication Researcher’ (Heinderyckx 2007). Even if some will disagree with the diagnosis of this crisis, it is necessary to recognize, all the same, that the ground for detailed discussion exists. It is possible to conduct search for the identity of the media researcher at a level of relatively abstract reasoning, or in the form of a presentation of real research results on the media sphere and their generalization. In this case, we have chosen the second way. It is not better than the first one and does not cancel it. At the same time, there is sense in collecting different directions of thoughts in the field of media and, probably, in continuing this work further with the efforts of new researchers. The originality of this section of the present issue also consists in that it brings together a number of representatives of a scientific centre at the faculty of journalism of St. Petersburg State University. According to its structure and main tasks, the faculty acts as a working model of media field. It joins departments of various profiles, research interests, methods, etc. A disciplinary integration that is complex, mobile and has a contradictory unity is being formed as a result. St. Petersburg University is a highly developed centre for education and science, which, along with the Moscow State University, has received the official status of a leading university of Russia. It means that not only new rights and privileges have appeared, but also an obligation to be a leader in a corresponding field of activity. The faculties of journalism at these two leading universities, realizing their increased responsibility, have signed an agreement of cooperation. Sergey G.

Russian Journal of Communication, Vol. 4, Nos. 3/4 (Summer/Fall 2011) 157 Sergey G. Korkonosenko From the Guest Editor St. Petersburg faculty of journalism is a large organization including 7 chairs and many training and media centers and laboratories. It was founded in 1946 and is the oldest journalism school in Russia. Last year, the academic and journalistic communities celebrated the 65th anniversary of the school. Thus, this section of the present issue is sub- titled ‘A View from St. Petersburg’ and can be seen as dedication to this anniversary. It is possible to say the intellectual production presented in this section to some degree reflects a condition of theoretical thinking in the Russian faculties of journalism. Moreover, it reflects also the major aspects of the educational process. According to a strong domestic tradition, the journalist is not simply a distributor of the information, but also a spokesman of public feelings and a social thinker. REFERENCES Heinderyckx, Fr.

KORKONOSENKO14 This article suggests a nontraditional approach to Russian journalism and posits treating it as a national cultural value. With this purpose, the author brings attention to the question of patriotic view on the Russian domestic press. The Russian journalism possesses a number of features which noticeably distinguish it from journalism in other countries simultaneously putting it on the par with such high values as national literature, arts, and science. This cultural-valuable approach extends to journalism education which also cannot be evaluated according to generally accepted universal criteria. Keywords: journalism, Russia, cultural value, education T he title of this article may get a wider interpretation in modern media theory, since one may put forth the question of the possibility of applying universal criteria in the analysis of every media system (including theoretical schools and education), regardless of the varied nationalities and cultures involved. Let’s listen to authoritative researcher Denis McQuail. According to him, “even when Europe was divided into East and West, parallel sets of media and civil institutions could be found, even if with differences of purpose and forms Sergey G. Korkonosenko is chair, Theory of Journalism Department, School of Journalism, St. Petersburg State University ([email protected]). Russian Journal of Communication, Vol. 4, Nos. 3/4 (Summer/Fall 2011) 159 Sergey G. Korkonosenko Journalism in Russia as a National Cultural Value of control. Summing up … there is little scope for the survival of national schools, except as a fringe matter, or a matter of style, or as a reflection of continuing cultural differences that follow the lines of older nation states and linguistic/cultural spheres of influence” (McQuail, 2009, p. 282). Nevertheless, the author mentions some candidates to be recognized as original national schools: France and the francophone area, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Scandinavian region, and the Mediterranean region, with Italy leading and Spain following (Ibid, p. 288). It’s not a surprising fact that we do not find Russia amongst the counties referred to. On the one hand, the European community of researchers are not well acquainted with the basis and traditions of Russian media, in fact, in most cases they know nothing due to the former iron curtain between the two civilizations and our own extremely low activity in popularizing national professional values. On the other hand, during the last few decades we did a lot to borrow and adopt Western standards in the communication sphere, but not always the best ones. Let’s read McQuail once more when he defines some factors, accounting for differences within and between national schools (briefly): intellectual roots and origins, not only in ‘communication science’, but often also in philosophy, political and social theory, literature, etc.; certain underlying social and cultural features, especially perhaps religion and ethnic diversity; national policy imperatives in a variety of fields of application; development and structure of academic/scientific institutions; the particular national media system and so on. (Ibid, pp. 286, 287) Every factor mentioned by McQuail looks like a precise characteristic of Russian history,

FORMAT A NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI)1 is a high-level teaching activity where a carefully defined science subject is treated in depth by lecturers and researchers of international standing, and which includes new advances in the subject not yet in university courses. The main purpose of a NATO ASI is to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and the formation of international scientific con- tacts through formal presentations and extensive subsequent discussions. The NATO ASI format is that of a summer school and includes a number of previously invited main lectures. The subsequently selected ASI participants include actual graduate students, postdocs, and senior researchers. In addition to the main lectures, there will be shorter lectures, review talks, and contributed talks as well as poster sessions in which the senior scientists, postdocs, and graduate students describe their own research. SCOPE The goal of the meeting is to present high level tutorial courses as well as more specialized lectures and talks on the most recent advances in polarimetric detection, characterization, and remote sensing, including military and environmental monitoring as well as terrestrial, atmospheric, and astrophysical characterization. We will present, discuss, and teach techniques developed in various disciplines to acquire information from the polarization signal of scattered electromagnetic waves.

    Is There Grace in the Soviet Church.Djvu

    Is the Grace of God Present in the Soviet Church? “Notes about the Catacomb Church in the USSR.” Professor I.M. Andreyev Translated from the Russian published originally in Jordanville, New York 1948 Contents Introduction ........................................................................ 7 Professor I.M. Andreyev In Memoriam .................................................................... 19 Is the Grace of God Present in the Soviet Church? 23 Notes on the Catacomb Church ........................................ 59 Notes 82 Introduction In the Orthodox Church many of the most profound theological works written by the great Church Fathers were written not for the mere sake of discoursing on the sublime truths, but to defend the faithful against the appearance of an error - an innovation, a human invention alien to the Divinely inspired Truth preserved by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church. Often the Fathers of the Church would have preferred to keep silent, continuing in prayer and living the truths of Divine Revelation, which car. at best be imperfectly reflected in human words. Th discourses they have left in defense of the Faith art very often more in the nature of fences surrounding the Truth - declaring what God is not, while God in His essence remains unfathomable to the human mind. Nevertheless, as a result (one might say, a by- product) of their polemical writings, we have received from the Church Fathers a rich heritage of inspired theological writings which help us to better understand what Orthodox Christianity really is. The present work falls into this category. Unfortunately, however, it will not be valued in this way but rather in terms of the reader’s sympathies for, or lack thereof, the present day church organization in Russia known as the Moscow Patriarchate.

The methodological apparatus, internal structure and main sections of media linguistics are considered. As a result of the rapid development in recent years of the level of study of the media in world linguistics, it became known that the language of the media is studied on the basis of its many connections and functions. The research material was collected using Uzbek and foreign literature. The aim of the work is to show the need for an integrated approach to the study of media texts, which is the main object of research in media linguistics.

In addition, media institutions play a significant role in society as they simultaneously construct and maintain societal norms and values. Media English is a broad term referring to the ways in which language is used to construct reality on media platforms, ranging from the front cover of a print newspaper to magazine advertisements, radio programmes, text messages and tweets. This chapter summarises the key linguistic approaches to and debates within the study of Media English. It explains key contemporary media terminology; considers the dominance of English in Media English; and details research into media power and representation(s) in terms of social class, race, ethnicity, gender and so on. Both ‘traditional’ and ‘new’ media texts are considered while changes wrought by digitisation in general are discussed, particularly in terms of the rise of social media. The chapter concludes with a look at future directions in the study of Media English, highlighting new and developing research on the changing communicative choices and shifting contexts of media output.
  • The Russian Military Faces “Creeping Disintegration”

    The Russian Military Faces “Creeping Disintegration”

    The Russian Military Faces “Creeping Disintegration” DALE R. HERSPRING There were virtually no units which were combat ready in 1997. —Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev lthough often ignored by observers and pundits, the Russian military plays A one of the most important roles of any institution in that society. The reason is that the armed forces are always the last bastion against anarchy and chaos in any political system. And Russia now is on the verge of collapse and anarchy. In taking a closer look at the Russian military and the role it plays in the Rus- sian political system, I divide my observations into three categories. First is the question of the armed forces themselves. It is impossible to discuss the role of the military without understanding how serious the situation is in Moscow’s armed forces. As those who have spent time working in the military or analyzing military issues know, reversing conditions like those that now characterize the Russian armed forces is not easy. It will take considerable time. The lead time on many weapons systems exceeds five years from planning to production. A second issue is the question of whether there is a serious danger that the Rus- sian military will become involved in politics. Finally, there is the question of what the West can do and should be doing at this point vis-à-vis the Russian military. The Situation Facing the Russian Military Despite Defense Minister Marshal Igor Sergeyev’s comment on 19 July 1999, to the effect that Russia’s armed forces are “combat ready, controllable and capable of ensuring the military security of the country,” the fact is that their situation is nothing short of disastrous.1 Equipment is outdated, officers and men are dispir- ited, thousands of the “best and brightest” are leaving, the budget is in shambles, generals have been politicized in a way unknown in the past, and talk of reform is a farce.

In this narrative history of the reign I have pursued no special thesis nor subscribed to any par- ticular doctrine of historical causation. I have kept to the limits of the reign, adding only by way of balance to the introductory survey of the condition of Russia at the accession a short epilogue on the logic of events between the fall of the monarchy and the Bolshevik seizure of power.

  • The Cossack Myth: History and Nationhood in the Age of Empires

    The Cossack Myth: History and Nationhood in the Age of Empires

    THE COSSACK MYTH In the years following the Napoleonic Wars, a mysterious manuscript began to circulate among the dissatisfied noble elite of the Russian Empire. Entitled The History of the Rus′, it became one of the most influential historical texts of the modern era. Attributed to an eighteenth-century Orthodox archbishop, it described the heroic struggles of the Ukrainian Cossacks. Alexander Pushkin read the book as a manifestation of Russian national spirit, but Taras Shevchenko interpreted it as a quest for Ukrainian national liberation, and it would inspire thousands of Ukrainians to fight for the freedom of their homeland. Serhii Plokhy tells the fascinating story of the text’s discovery and dissemination, unravelling the mystery of its authorship and tracing its subsequent impact on Russian and Ukrainian historical and literary imagination. In so doing, he brilliantly illuminates the relationship between history, myth, empire, and nationhood, from Napoleonic times to the fall of the Soviet Union. serhii plokhy is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University. His previous publications include Ukraine and Russia: Representations of the Past (2008)andThe Origins of the Slavic Nations: Premodern Identities in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (2006).

Prince of Imperial Blood Oleg Konstantinovich was opened in Tsarskoye Selo September 29, in Tsarskoye Selo, in the territory of the St. Sophia Cathedral was inaugurated a monument to the son of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich - Prince Oleg Konstantinovich, who participated in the First World War and was mortally wounded during a battle, and died a few days later. He gave his life for the Faith, Tsar and Fatherland. The monument is made on the initiative of the Fund Ludvig Nobel. The location for the monument is well chosen and not at all accidental. St. Sophia cathedral was the regimental church of the Life-Guard Hussar Regiment, in which served Prince Oleg. The sculpture is not entirely new, as it is cast after the pre-revolutionary model by the sculptor Vsevolod Lishev. Anna Yakovleva, Ludvig Nobel Foundation: "The sketch of the monument was designed by sculptor Lishev in 1915. But after the events that followed, it could not be put, but it was casted. By the way, the sketch was approved by the father of Oleg Konstantinovich." The new monument is made by sculptor Yaroslav Borodin. The ceremony began with a memorial service at the St. Sophia Cathedral, which was headed by Dean of the Tsarskoye Selo district Archpriest Gennady (Zverev). Chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society, Sergey Stepashin said - "Today is a truly historic day. It is a day when we remember the wonderful and worthy representative of the Romanov dynasty, who died at age 22 on the front of the First World War.

Reviews 469 open, diverse, and pluralistic environment” (330). The English-speaking reader learns that today Russia “is dominated by market mechanisms [...] largely devoid of censorship,” where “people have numerous venues for self-expression.” During the Thaw “the condemnation of the camps and executions had not yet reached the finality and decisiveness that it would reach three decades later” (230), as this process of working through the past was completed in the 1990s, when the Purges were irrevocably condemned. Today these claims sound like bitter irony, as they certainly did in 2012-2013, when the book was in production. Over the last 15 years, Russian society has developed a new type of a social contract with the authorities, based on a rehabilitation of Soviet times and greased by oil and gas prices.
