    American‑Russian Relations in the Times of the American Civil War (1861‑1865)

    Studies into the History of Russia and Central-Eastern Europe ■ XLVIII Hanna Marczewska‑Zagdańska Historical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences American‑Russian relations in the times of the American Civil War (1861‑1865) Outline: The 1860s were marked by an exceptional affection and friendship in the bilateral relations between the United States, a young American republic, and the long‑established tsarist Russia. This phenomenon, which had never occurred with such intensity before or since, inspired Russian and American researchers and politicians to organize The Tsar and the President: Alexander II and Abraham Lincoln, Liberator and Emancipator exhibition which was displayed, inter alia, in Moscow in 2011. The following article analyses (on the basis of numerous source materials from the period) the reasons of this mutual amity and trust, as well as their military and eco‑ nomic cooperation—both internal (the Civil War in the U.S., the January Uprising in the Russian Empire), and external (the rivalry with Great Britain and France, and political calculations in the search for suitable alliances)—in the period of world power rivalry for global spheres of influence. Keywords: President Lincoln, Tsar Aleksander II, US Civil War, Russian Empire, Polish Insurrection of 1863, Russian Fleet, United States – Foreign Relations – Russia, Russia – Foreign Relations – United States, 19th Century Diplomatic History. On February 22, 2011, the seat of the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow saw the unveiling of an exhibition under the surprising and intriguing title “The Tsar and the President: Alexander II and Abraham Lincoln, Liberator and Emancipator”. Conceived on the initiative of the American‑Russian Cultural Cooperation Foundation and already displayed in the United States in 2008‑2009, the exhibition attracted a large number of visitors and enthusiasts.

    INDOOR AIR Q~ALITY IN MUSEUMS AND HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN ST. PETERSBURG AND IN NORTH-WEST REGION OF RUSSIA V.D.Korkin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture by name I.Repi& Russia ABSTRACT This presentation deals with the problem of achieving stable microclimate in old buddmgs of St Petersburg - such as churches, museums and palaces. Characteristic traits of such buildings are rather thick envelops which as a rule accumulate large quantities of heat or cold. The majority of these buildings are equipped only with central water heating and are naturally ventilated. Experimental study of microclimate in buildings of this kind proves that during cold season (with average temperature -10”C)the relative humidity there will be about 30-35% and less. In summer time temperature background does not rise above 22-24°C whereas the relative humidity sometimes can rise up to 75-80Y0. Eventually we should like to note that climate parameters of St Petersburg can be taken as a characteristic for entire Norten-West of Russia. Inserting into such buildings air conditioning systems (provided with cooling plants and devices for automatic control) does not aways give positive results. With consideration of climate features of the region and peculiarities of the buildings we worked out system which helps to maintain stable microclimate, special attention to thermrd inertia of walls included. This decision will give an oppotiunity to reduce a load on heating system at any rate to 15-20%. It will also give the chance for adiabatic humidity control in winter which is nessessary for the humidity control.

    Spatial Imaginary of Imperial St. Petersburg and Maritime Heritage of the Gulf of Finland

    humanities Article The Metropolitan Bay: Spatial Imaginary of Imperial St. Petersburg and Maritime Heritage of the Gulf of Finland Alexei Kraikovski * and Julia Lajus National Research University Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg 198099, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-812-644-5911-61412 Received: 2 December 2018; Accepted: 19 February 2019; Published: 26 February 2019 Abstract: The paper aims to discuss the multifaceted links between the marine environment of the Gulf of Finland and the representations of the large complex of cultural heritage related to the city of St. Petersburg. The paper is based on a spatial imaginary of Greater St. Petersburg as the cultural and technological unity of the city and adjacent waterscapes in the times of the Russian Empire. This concept is instrumental to see the historical links between the parts of the heritage complex that has by now disintegrated and has been separated by state borders. Keywords: Baltic; Gulf of Finland; coastal heritage; St. Petersburg; spatial imaginaries 1. Introduction The paper discusses the multifaceted links between the marine environment of the Gulf of Finland and creation, representation, and perception of the numerous vestiges of maritime heritage left behind in the city of St. Petersburg. This maritime heritage is tightly connected with the spatial imaginary of the Gulf of Finland as a space of Greater St. Petersburg, as the Gulf itself had been culturally and technologically connected to a former capital of the Russian Empire. We follow the definition of spatial imaginary as a collective or individual understanding of space produced in association with the practices of living in that space.

Dear International Students— On behalf of all of us at the Saint Petersburg University Graduate School of Management, I would like to welcome you to what we hope will be a period of your life that can only be described as a life-changing experience: one which gives you a new perspective on the world, a valuable new international network of friends and future business contacts and especially – those moments to remember, where you discover wonderful things that you otherwise never would have experienced. Study abroad will always bring challenges: from discovering how to get the courses you need to figuring out how to get just about everything practical to work in your life in this new setting - from public transportation to relations between the sexes. And on top of all of this, you have chosen to “think out of the box” by choosing to do your student exchange in a country, which is still unknown territory for many and by wrestling with a very different new language. You have made a strong move which, by the way, just might be what catches the eye of a future employer when you are looking for that exciting international job after graduation. In the meanwhile, all of this will not come easily and if it happens that you feel lost occasionally, we want you to know that you are welcome to come in to the office and have a talk with us – we are here to help.

Its motto was “For service and courage”. The Order of St. George was distinguished by its statute among other Russian orders as a reward for personal valour in battle, and the merits for which an officer could be awarded a prize were strictly regulated by the statute: "Neither the high breed, nor the wounds received before the enemy, give the right to be granted this order: but this is given to those who not only corrected their position in everything by oath, honour and duty, but also distinguished themselves by their special what a courageous act, or the wise, and for Our military service, gave useful advice ... This order should never be removed: for it is acquired through merit". The Order had four degrees: 1st degree. The order's badge is a white enamel cross with widening ends and a gold border along the edges. In the middle of the cross, on the medallion, there is the image of the Moscow coat of arms. On the reverse side of the medallion there is a monogram of the saint: "SG". It was weared on a ribbon from should to hip.
