"Kachenovskii--The heavyweight of Russian letters, learned, but boring. "DeCampe--Knows French literature very well, but because he is completely ignorant of the Russian language, he would fail without Courtener, who will be an excellent assistant. "Snegirev--Knows Antiquities better than the Latin in which he lectures coarsely and incorrectly. "Harvey--Knows the English language soundly and teaches well, but has few students, which may also be said about Rubini. "Pogodin--Teaches history excellently. If he leaves the university, it would be difficult to find a replacement for him. "Lev Tsvetaev--Teaches Roman law. On good terms with [Prince N. N. Golitsyn, the curator]. "Sandunov--Knows Russian legislation excellently but has already been sick for a long time and gives little hope for a recovery. Worthy successors should be selected for both of them. "Chumakov--A good-hearted man and knowledgeable in his field, but rather weak in his inspector work. "Davydov--Wise as Solomon but lost in the trees from the hopelessness of his fate in the field of science. "Fischer--Chairman of the Medico-Surgical Academy, excellent professor of the natural sciences. "Alexander Fischer--Outstanding son of the worthy father, soundly knows natural sciences and speaks Russian like a native. "Heiman--Teaches chemistry very well. Knows and loves his work. "Pavlov--Learned and capable; but out of place [teaching physics]. "Perevoshchikov--Both learned and experienced in astronomy, yet rather garrulous. "Reuss--A slow-witted scholar, gifted with the ability to page 374 complicate any matter given to him. "Shchepkin--Knows mathematics soundly and excellently teaches its higher parts. Is capable in all duties. "Al'fonskii--Very gifted, especially

Gradually, with the advancement of the Russian people to the East, this territorial name spread across the north of Western Siberia to the river Taz. Since 2003, Yugra has been part of the offi cial name of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug: Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug—Yugra. 2) Volost—from the Old Russian “power, country, district”—means here the territo- rial-administrative unit of the aboriginal population with the most authoritative leader, the chief, from whom a certain amount of furs was collected. 3) Novgorod Land (literally “New City”) refers to a land, also known as “Gospodin (Lord) Veliky (Great) Novgorod”, or “Novgorod Republic”, with its administrative center in Veliky Novgorod, which had from the 10th century a tendency towards autonomy from Kiev, the capital of Ancient Kievan Rus. From the end of the 11th century, Novgorod de-facto became an independent city-state that subdued the entire north of Eastern Europe.

  • The Development of Arts in the Context of the Stroganovs' Activity
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 2020 13(6): 924–944 DOI: 10.17516/1997-1370-0616 УДК 069 The Development of Arts in the Context of the Stroganovs’ Activity as Ktitors and Art Patrons in the 16th-17th Centuries Natalia V. Parfentieva and Nikolai P. Parfentiev* South Ural State University Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation Received 10.05.2020, received in revised form 28.05.2020, accepted 05.06.2020 Abstract. The Stroganovs, known in the 16th–17th centuries as merchants, industrialists and landowners, left a deep mark in the history of not only the economy, but also of the culture of Russia. There is the vast scientific literature covering various aspects of the family members’ life, but their ktitor (founder and donator of church building) and art patronage activities of that time were not specifically studied. Only certain aspects were considered in the context of scientific searches in the field of art history. The authors of the article show that primarily the ktitor activity of the Stroganovs was consisted in the construction of numerous parish churches at their own expense during the development of the vast Ural-Pomor lands. This activity acquires great spiritual and cultural significance with the construction of magnificent stone Cathedrals (Sol’vychegodsk, Nizhny Novgorod, etc.), especially the family Blagoveshchensky (Annunciation) Cathedral (1560-1584) in Sol’vychegodsk, in which even a ktitor’s place was arranged. Concerns about providing the churches with everything necessary led to the foundation by the Stroganovs icon painting and book-writing workshops, decorative needlework and silver jewellery making, and the support of the Usol’e (Stroganov) masters of chanting.

  • Illustrations by Maciej Janik INTRODUCTION
    Illustrations by Maciej Janik INTRODUCTION In the 16th century, a family of merchants and entrepreneurs by the name of Stroganov attracted the attention and favor of the Tsar. Wishing to align with their wealth and power, he granted the Stroganovs lands and privileges with which to continue their enterprises. Near the end of the century, the Tsar enlisted the Stroganovs’ help to extend Russia’s reach into Siberia, the vast landscape from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, which had proved complicated and difficult to conquer. The Stroganovs hunted and traded furs in the region, recruiting Cossacks to do the work. A path was opening to the east. In Stroganov, you’ll play as members of the powerful Stroganov family, urging your Cossack hunters to explore eastward across Siberia. In the fairer weather of Spring, Summer, and Autumn, your Cossacks will explore, hunt for valuable furs, and establish outposts. As they travel, they’ll gather stories to turn into songs to be sung when they return home for the long harsh Winters. Your growing influence in Russia depends on the continued favor of the Tsar. Fulfill his wishes in Siberia to sustain your power and bring honor to the Stroganov name!

  • Rachel D. Koroloff for the Degree of Master of Arts in History of Science Presented on June 13, 2007
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Rachel D. Koroloff for the degree of Master of Arts in History of Science presented on June 13, 2007. Title: The Beginnings of a Russian Natural History: The Life and Work of Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov (1711 – 1755) Abstract approved: Paul L. Farber Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov (1711 – 1755) was a successful early Russian naturalist whose professional and social destinies were linked to eighteenth-century Russia’s nascent but growing naturalist tradition. During his own time Krasheninnikov bridged the gap that existed in Russia between a distinctly European scientific practice and a tradition of Russian military expansion. He, like many of his contemporaries, was engaged in a process of accommodation between European scientific practices and Russian social and political traditions. This study attempts to address the general theme of the relation between science and culture through the life and work of Krasheninnikov. It argues that the adoption of scientific practices (in the guise of natural history) in eighteenth-century Russia was characterized not by a unidirectional importation of scientific practice nor by the westernization of the practitioners, but by a diffuse and sometimes idiosyncratic process of appropriation as Russian men of science sought to integrate European scientific practice into preexisting Russian historical, social, and political structures. ©Copyright by Rachel D.

His reign saw Russian expansion to the South and hast with the conquests of Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberia. The seeds of contact with the West which were cultivated by Peter the Great were planted by Ivan. Also of great interest is his policy of dividing the country into two halves, the oprichnina, Its attendant viol- ence and social and economic devastation have been topics of a fiery debate among historians through the a es. many believe that Ivan suffered from a mental illness which caused him to act irrationaily and others believe that ne was a wise ruier who had his sights set on the future.

  • Page 1 CHAPTER 7 MOSCOW UNIVERSITY, 1835-1847 with A
    page 1 CHAPTER 7 MOSCOW UNIVERSITY, 1835-1847 With a population of around three hundred fifty thousand in the 1840s, Moscow was Russia's second largest city and its second capital. It had been a city of the old nobility who liked to live away from the bureaucracy of St. Petersburg, but the fire of 1812 had greatly altered the character of the city. It had become more of a manufacturing center, mainly textiles, but it remained a unique city. The Marquis de Custine insisted that "at Moscow we forget Europe" and that Moscow was more "Russian" than St. Petersburg. Most importantly, with respect to the intellectual climate, he claimed there was a "more lively, free, and careless bearing of the population" than in St. Petersburg. "An air of liberty is breathed [there] that is unknown to the rest of the empire."1 With regard to the educational facilities under Sergei Stroganov's control in 1835, there was little or no primary education in the city itself. Most children received that at home, though some textile factories did operate their own schools. Secondary education consisted of the Nobles' Institute, organized in 1833, the guberniia gymnasium, which in 1833 became the "First" gymnasium, and a number of private schools: twenty-five in 1834 with 1,278 students and 1Astolphe Custine, The Marquis de Custine and His "Russia in 1839," ed.
