  • Monuments of Church Architecture in Belozersk: Late Sixteenth to the Early Nineteenth Centuries
    russian history 44 (2017) 260-297 brill.com/ruhi Monuments of Church Architecture in Belozersk: Late Sixteenth to the Early Nineteenth Centuries William Craft Brumfield Professor of Slavic Studies and Sizeler Professor of Jewish Studies, Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies, Tulane University, New Orleans [email protected] Abstract The history of the community associated with the White Lake (Beloe Ozero) is a rich one. This article covers a brief overview of the developing community from medieval through modern times, and then focuses the majority of its attention on the church ar- chitecture of Belozersk. This rich tradition of material culture increases our knowledge about medieval and early modern Rus’ and Russia. Keywords Beloozero – Belozersk – Russian Architecture – Church Architecture The origins and early location of Belozersk (now a regional town in the center of Vologda oblast’) are subject to discussion, but it is uncontestably one of the oldest recorded settlements among the eastern Slavs. “Beloozero” is mentioned in the Primary Chronicle (or Chronicle of Bygone Years; Povest’ vremennykh let) under the year 862 as one of the five towns granted to the Varangian brothers Riurik, Sineus and Truvor, invited (according to the chronicle) to rule over the eastern Slavs in what was then called Rus’.1 1 The Chronicle text in contemporary Russian translation is as follows: “B гoд 6370 (862). И изгнaли вapягoв зa мope, и нe дaли им дaни, и нaчaли caми coбoй влaдeть, и нe былo cpeди ниx пpaвды, и вcтaл poд нa poд, и былa у ниx уcoбицa, и cтaли вoeвaть дpуг c дpугoм. И cкaзaли: «Пoищeм caми ceбe князя, кoтopый бы влaдeл нaми и pядил пo pяду и пo зaкoну».

  • Veps Language Heritage in Karelia1
    NINA ZAICEVA Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences Veps language heritage in Karelia1 1. Introduction Veps people live in Russia on the border of the Republic of Karelia, in Leningrad region and Vologda region. Based on the most recent Russian population census in 2010 (Vserossijskaja perepis nasele­ nija 2010), 5 936 people consider themselves Veps, of which 3 423 live in Karelia, 1 380 live in Leningrad region, and 412 live in Vo­ logda region. The decline in the Veps population and Veps language skills has been an urgent matter for researchers, society, and state authorities. In 2000, a Russian Federation government decree listed the Veps people in the Russian Federation Joint List of Indigenous Minorities as a community under special state protection (see Stro­ galschikova 2014: 237, 245). The Veps language also was included in the Russian Federation Red List of Languages (Krasnaja kniga 1994: 21–22). These efforts were intended to stimulate Veps lan­ guage revitalization and cultural preservation as well as restoring active bilingualism in areas where Veps language teaching in schools would be helpful. In the Republic of Karelia, several books in Veps have been published: textbooks for schools and universities, phrase books, bilingual dictionaries, and spelling dictionaries (see Zaiceva 2006: 119–135). The Veps media consist of the newspaper Kodima, the magazine Kipinä for children (in Veps, Kibin), and weekly TV and radio programs. 1.

    92 C O N F E R E N C E R E P O R T S A N D P A N E L S E. E. Lineva: A Conference “E. E. Lineva: the hundredth anniversary of her field recordings,” a conference of both a scholarly and applied nature was held on November 23-25th, 2001 in the old Russian city of Vologda. Evgeniia Eduardovna Lineva (1853-1919) occupies a special place in Russian and American culture. In the 1890s she and her husband, a political émigré, lived in America. There Lineva, a professional singer, organized a Russian folk choir which performed successfully at the Chicago Universal Exhibition held to mark the four-hundredth anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of America. After her return home Lineva took a more serious interest in Russian folk song, undertaking a number of folklore expeditions to various parts of the country. To Lineva belongs the distinction of being the first to use the phonograph to record folk songs. She used it on her first expedition in 1897 to villages in Nizhnii Novogord, Kostroma, Simbirsk, Tambov and Voronezh provinces. In 1901 the folklorist traveled to the Kirillovo-Belozersk area of Novgorod Province, now part of Vologda Oblast’. One result outcome was the collection Velikorusskie pesni v narodnoi garmonizatsii [Russian songs in their folk harmonization] (pt 1, St. Petersburg, 1904; pt 2, St. Petersburg, 1909), in which the music was deciphered to the highest professional standards. It was the centenary of that expedition of 1901 that prompted the conference. The conference was not the only event commemorating Lineva held in the Vologda area: S.

The paper is devoted to the problem of adaptation and restoration of monastic structures, churches and temples without complete dismantling of the elements of the main load-bearing structures, using technologies and methods of work that allow delicately and effectively restoring the most important elements of buildings. The progress of work on the restoration of the hipped roof, using the lifting method - lifting the load-bearing part of the cribbed roof structure, is accurately and consistently described in the paper, as well as flexibility and efficiency in choosing a new solution for lifting, taking into account the features of the object identified during the work. The work on raising the roof was carried out during the course of adapting the building to modern use, based on the needs of the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve. 1 Introduction Kirillo-Belozersky historical, architectural and art museum-reserve is located in the Kirillov city of Vologda region. The history of its creation dates back to 1924, and at first it was a branch (department) of the Cherepovets district provincial Museum. In 1926, it was transferred to the Main Science Department of People’s Commissariat for Education and became an independent Museum, and in 1929 the first permanent exhibition was opened [13].
