QUEST DESCRIPTION AND RULES Moscow Quest is a sight-seeing tour in the form of a game that will allow you to be acquainted with the Russian Сapital. Each route point talks about the key moments of Moscow history, about the great men, whose lives have been associated with the city, about Russian culture and traditions. You will find a list of route points, location descriptions, a task list and an answer sheet in the notebooks that have been given to you.

A member of the Organizing Committee, who will be wearing a T-shirt with the symbol of the International Olympiad of Metropolises, will be waiting for you at every location. We recommend to visit all the points, because you will not only get acquainted with the chapters of Moscow history, but also get a fragment of the puzzle. Having collected all the pieces of the puzzle, you will be able to put together a picture with a view of Moscow. You will find the address of each point, the description of the location and the task in your notebook. Questions or descriptions for some of the route points may not be available in a notebook, which means that you will get them from a member of the Organizing Committee in the specified location. Answers should be entered on the answer sheet, that you will need to hand in at the finish line. -

Religion and Nationality in Western Ukraine : the Greek Catholic
Religion and Nationality in Western Ukraine The Greek Catholic Church and the Ruthenian National Movement in Galicia, 1867-1900 The Greek Catholic Church has been described as a hybrid of eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism that combines the heritage of Byzantine Christianity with submission to the Roman Papacy. The eastern and western elements of the church have often collided, but perhaps never so dramatically as in the province of Galicia in the late nineteenth century. Using Soviet archival materials declassified in the 1980s, John-Paul Himka examines a period during which the Greek Catholic Church in Galicia was involved in a protracted, and at times bitter, struggle to maintain its distinctive, historically developed rites and customs. He focuses on the way differing concepts of Rutherian nationality affected the perception and course of church affairs while showing the influence of local ecclesiastical matters on the development and acceptance of these divergent concepts of nationality. The implications and complications of the Galician imbroglio are engagingly explained in this latest addition to Himka's work on na- tionality in late nineteenth-century Galicia. His analysis of the rela- tionship between the church and the national movement is a valuable addition to the study of religion and national movements in East Eu- rope and beyond.

Function-Topological Model of Urban Space Sectoral Zoning
E3S Web of Conferences 164, 04016 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf /202016404016 TPACEE-2019 Function-topological model of urban space sectoral zoning Denis Denisov1, Tatyana Zhuravleva2,*, Mikhail Zhuravlev2, and Elena Kabanova1 1Samara State Transport University, 443066, 2B Svobody st., Samara, Russia 2Samara State Technical University, 443100, 244 Molodogvardeyskaya st., Samara, Russia Abstract. This study supplements the function-topological model of analysis of city organization and development with a sectoral model of administrative-territorial division. The function-topological model allows revealing unique features of objects of the same profile, located in different space sectors. Besides, significant objects are usually placed in strictly defined sectors. Identification of general principles of spatial arrangement at all levels from geopolitics to the structure of private farmsteads on the cases of various cities, metropolitan areas and architectural ensembles is of great general scientific significance. It deals with the principles described in regional traditions: the Indian Vastu Vidya and the Chinese Feng Shui. The analysis shows that, on an intuitive level, the same principles are implemented in the activities of specialists, designers, who make decisions about the location of industries, residential areas and architectural complexes. Recognition and study of these principles are hindered by the materialistic attitudes of twentieth-century science. The results of the study lead to a radical step in recognizing many spatial elements of the mythological picture of the world as reliable ones. 1 Introduction Functional zoning of a city is an integral part of its existence, ensuring its rational functioning. The city area is differentiated by numerous methods of its use and the typology of development. -
