DOBRETSOV Almost a century ago, in the 1920-30s, a special commission of the USSR Academy of Sciences on the organization of regional affiliates denied the request of local governments in Siberia A Town of PASSIONARIANS and the Far East of the country to create local affiliate divisions. The stated reason was that it was impossible “to deploy Academicians to the specified cities without the destruction of the Academy of Sciences as such, and selecting new Academicians, forcing them to live and work in a specified city, is impossible as well.” Even though during the Great Patriotic War the first affiliate branch of the Academy appeared in Siberia, it was late in the 1950’s that «the impossible» happened: several dozen of the most prominent scientists from Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Lvov and other cities, joined by their talented students, moved to Siberia – voluntarily and simultaneously Nikolay L.

The field of scientific interests is magmatic geology, mineralogy and petrography. The founder of the Siberian scientific school on deep geodynamics.

My name is Jacob, and I’ll be your chair, helping to guide you as you take on the role of the Soviet political elites circa 1961. Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, at Princeton I study Slavic Languages and Literature. The Eastern Bloc, as well as Yugoslavia, have long been interests of mine. Our history classes and national consciousness often paints them as communist enemies, but in their own ways, they too helped to shape the modern world that we know today. While ultimately failed states, they had successes throughout their history, contributing their own shares to world science and culture, and that’s something I’ve always tried to appreciate. Things are rarely as black and white as the paper and ink of our textbooks. During the conference, you will take on the role of members of the fictional Soviet Advisory Committee on Centralization and Global Communism, a new semi-secret body intended to advise the Politburo and other major state organs. You will be given unmatched power but also faced with a variety of unique challenges, such as unrest in the satellite states, an economy over-reliant on heavy industry, and a geopolitical sphere of influence being challenged by both the USA and an emerging Communist China.

Followi~gtwo years of targeted training and technical assistance, Rossiskuya Zabota has emerged as a more effective, self-sufficient social service provider. Through staff development, direct investment in pilot projects, and humanitarian aid for children, Counterpart has helped to increase the viability and capacity of its local partner to design, implement and monitor its own programs. Joint project activities, conducted under the auspices of the World Learning grant, have played a unique role in enabling Rossiskaya Zabota to expand its outreach to greater numbers of high risk children, fpilies, and communities. Building upon the program's success, Counterpart and Rossiskuya Zabota successfully leveraged an additional $1.7 million in financial and in-kind contributions to the initial half-million dollar grant.

  • Nikolay Luzin, His Students, Adversaries, and Defenders (Notes
    Nikolay Luzin, his students, adversaries, and defenders (notes on the history of Moscow mathematics, 1914-1936) Yury Neretin This is historical-mathematical and historical notes on Moscow mathematics 1914-1936. Nikolay Luzin was a central figure of that time. Pavel Alexandroff, Nina Bari, Alexandr Khinchin, Andrey Kolmogorov, Mikhail Lavrentiev, Lazar Lyusternik, Dmitry Menshov, Petr Novikov, Lev Sсhnirelman, Mikhail Suslin, and Pavel Urysohn were his students. We discuss the time of the great intellectual influence of Luzin (1915-1924), the time of decay of his school (1922-1930), a moment of his administrative power (1934-1936), and his fall in July 1936. But the thing which served as a source of Luzin’s inner drama turned out to be a source of his subsequent fame... Lazar Lyusternik [351] Il est temps que je m’arr ete: voici que je dis, ce que j’ai d´eclar´e, et avec raison, ˆetre inutile `adire. Henri Lebesgue, Preface to Luzin’s book, Leˇcons sur les ensembles analytiques et leurs applications, [288] Прошло сто лет и что ж осталось От сильных, гордых сих мужей, Столь полных волею страстей? Их поколенье миновалось Alexandr Pushkin ’Poltava’ There is a common idea that a life of Nikolay Luzin can be a topic of a Shakespeare drama. I am agree with this sentence but I am extremely far from an intention to realize this idea. The present text is an impassive historical-mathematical and historical investigation of Moscow mathematics of that time. On the other hand, this is more a story of its initiation and turning moments than a history of achievements.

  • Ksenia Tatarchenko
    Ksenia Tatarchenko A House with the Window to the West: The Akademgorodok Computer Center (1958-1993). Subject Where does science live? There are many places where science could happen: in laboratories and on couches, at conferences and during conversations, in scientific academies and in private homes. A historical list could be extended to include medieval monasteries, enlightened salons or imperial ships. Then, the legitimate question is: where does science thrive best? Famously, according to Francis Bacon, science gains in productivity when properly housed; such is Bensalem’s legendary Salomon House, producing knowledge for the betterment of society. The quest for the proper place of scientific production has animated the history of twentieth century science from the German Kaiser Wilhelm Society to the American National Laboratories to the Soviet Union’s infamous closed cities. This dissertation is about a scientific house that was built as a part of an open Soviet city of science, Akademgorodok, which opened its doors in 1964 to become home of scientific computing in Siberia. I argue that the history of this institute offers a unique perspective on three major issues of twentieth century science and technology and of Soviet history: 1) What was the Soviet post-Stalinist “Big Science” and how did it function? In the West, Big Science often refers to the symbiosis of scientific research with state resources and state priorities on a massive scale with research budgets reaching to the billions. In the Soviet Union, all science was a state sponsored affair by definition. If Soviet Big Science is understood as a form of interaction between science and politics, then the landscapes of techno-scientific micro-regions could be shown as at first shaped by these interactions and, in turn, becoming powerful elements in the interplay.

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.
