Despite the physical departure of the Russian state from North America, the in uence of the Russian America project remains even today, in the memory, history and Alexei Pankin contemporary life of the two countries. Editor Russian and American pioneers began moving towards each other at practically the same time. e bulk of Russian exploration of the Western Hemisphere began from the Siberian town of Tobolsk, which was founded in 1587. ousands of miles to the west, Europeans were also reaching beyond the boundaries of their continent, founding Jamestown, the rst English settlement in North America, in 1607. Moving from east to west and west to east, these two cultures nally met in Alaska, California and Hawaii in the 19th century. Despite our many di erences, one thing Russians and Americans share in common is the drive to explore. To go and discover new lands you need to be courageous, entrepreneurial, full of initiative, able to make decisions quickly and be willing to stand rm in the face of di culty. e history of Russia’s expansion eastward and America’s in Russia Dialogue meeting Ross Fort expansion westward is the story of two great modern nations, economies, national characters and cultures. 1 In this magazine, we will trace the steps of these bold pioneers to Fort Ross, the Russian settlement established in 1812 in Northern California. Just 50 miles north of San Francisco, today it hosts a museum and park where the Russian and American pioneer spirits converge. Fort Ross is an impressive example of Russian-American cooperation. e Fort Ross Dialogue, a conference that brings together cultural and business leaders from both countries, has taken place there since 2012. In 2017, this conference will take place in Russia for the rst time. It will be hosted by Fort Ross’s sister museum, the Izborsk Fortress in the Pskov Region. At the conference, titled Towards Each Other, representatives from both countries will discuss Russian and American history and what the past can teach us today. In particular, participants will talk about the museum collections that carefully preserve this history. Because this year’s dialogue will take place in Russia, much of the conference will focus on the Russian North and Siberia. e main topic of discussion will be what Russian history can teach us about Russian America. Izborsk / May 2017 Frontiers: Russian-American e preservationists and historians of these Russian and American museums also deserve special mention as pioneers. Using the latest technology and innovations, their work both preserves and illuminates this shared history. We look forward to including you in this work.

    ACC JOURNAL 2020, Volume 26, Issue 2 DOI: 10.15240/tul/004/2020-2-002 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NONPROFIT SECTOR IN RUSSIAN REGIONS: MAIN CHALLENGES Anna Artamonova Vologda Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Department of Editorial-and-Publishing Activity and Science-Information Support, 56A, Gorky str., 160014, Vologda, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article aims at identifying the main barriers hindering development of the nonprofit sector in Russian regions. The research is based on the conviction that the development of the nonprofit sector is crucial for the regional socio-economic system and depends upon civic engagement. The results of an analysis of available statistical data and a sociological survey conducted in one of the Russian regions reveal that the share of the Russians engaged in volunteer activities is low; over 80% of the population do not participate in public activities; less than 10% have definite knowledge of working nonprofit organizations. The study allowed identifying three groups of the main barriers and formulating some recommendations for their overcoming. Keywords Russia; Nonprofit sector; Nongovernmental organization; Civic participation; Civic engagement. Introduction Sustainable development of Russian regions requires the fullest use of their internal potential. As the public and private sectors cannot meet all demands concerning the provision of high living standards for all groups of the population, it is necessary for local authorities to find new opportunities for effective and mutually beneficial cooperation with other economic actors. In Russian regions, in this regard a new trend becomes evident government starts to pay more attention to organizations of the third (nonprofit) sector.

  • Nikolai Tcherepnin UNDER the CANOPY of MY LIFE Artistic, Creative, Musical Pedagogy, Public and Private
    Nikolai Tcherepnin UNDER THE CANOPY OF MY LIFE Artistic, creative, musical pedagogy, public and private Translated by John Ranck But1 you are getting old, pick Flowers, growing on the graves And with them renew your heart. Nekrasov2 And ethereally brightening-within-me Beloved shadows arose in the Argentine mist Balmont3 The Tcherepnins are from the vicinity of Izborsk, an ancient Russian town in the Pskov province. If I remember correctly, my aged aunts lived on an estate there which had been passed down to them by their fathers and grandfathers. Our lineage is not of the old aristocracy, and judging by excerpts from the book of Records of the Nobility of the Pskov province, the first mention of the family appears only in the early 19th century. I was born on May 3, 1873 in St. Petersburg. My father, a doctor, was lively and very gifted. His large practice drew from all social strata and included literary luminaries with whom he collaborated as medical consultant for the gazette, “The Voice” that was published by Kraevsky.4 Some of the leading writers and poets of the day were among its editors. It was my father’s sorrowful duty to serve as Dostoevsky’s doctor during the writer’s last illness. Social activities also played a large role in my father’s life. He was an active participant in various medical societies and frequently served as chairman. He also counted among his patients several leading musical and theatrical figures. My father was introduced to the “Mussorgsky cult” at the hospitable “Tuesdays” that were hosted by his colleague, Dr.

  • Use of Classification Algorithms for the Ice Jams Forecasting Problem

In the research the prediction of occurrence of ice jam based on the K Nearest Neighbor method was considered by example of the city of Velikiy Ustyug, located at the confluence of the Sukhona and Yug Rivers. A forecast accuracy of 82% was achieved based on selected most significant hydrological and meteorological features. 1 Introduction Floods gain a lead among natural disasters both in terms of area of distribution and damage caused for Russia. Flooding can be caused by snow cover melting, a large amount of precipitation, the effects of surges, a breakthrough of a dam, etc. For northern rivers, including rivers of the European part of Russia, ice jams often cause floods. The goal of this research is developing a methodology for predicting the occurrence of ice jam based on the machine learning method. The place of confluence of the Sukhona and Yug Rivers, where the city of Velikiy Ustyug is located, was chosen as the object of study. The probability of the ice jams formation in this area is 43.5% according to statistics. Their occurrence leads to an increase of water level and flooding of residential and utility buildings. 2 Data and methods Over the past two decades, there has been a huge leap in the development of computer technology and machine learning, which has allowed the application of various machine learning algorithms to a large number of applied problems, including the prediction of flood characteristics.

  • February 14Th 10.00 Sedov Vladimir Valentinovich (Moscow IA RAS
    February 14th 10.00 Sedov Vladimir Valentinovich (Moscow IA RAS) Principal outcomes of the excavation of the church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche near Novgorod in 2016-2017: archeology and architecture The paper presents the main results of the extensive architectural and archaeological excavation of the stone church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche, built in 1103 by Prince Mstislav the Great and rebuilt in 1342-1343. This latter church, having survived in part, was conserved, and the current plans for the museumification of the 1103 church allowed for its complete excavation, which provided an opportunity to assess the architecture of this second oldest stone church building of Novgorod (the Sophia of Novgorod being the earliest). We now see this monument as a transitive point in local architectural history. Its large size, common type and architectural details firmly link it to the south Russian tradition of Kiev. At the same time, it stands at the very beginning of the Novgorod architectural tradition. The paper also covers some of the most vivid details of the monument and the traces of its rebuilding, as well as information on the pre- church layers unearthed during the excavation. Gippius Alexey Alexeevich (Moscow, HSE, ISS RAS), Mikheev Savva Mikhailovich (Moscow, ISS RAS) Complex of the Glagolitic graffiti of the church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche The paper discusses ten 12th- century Glagolitic graffiti, one of them being the longest old Russian Glagolitic text. The inscriptions are of interest both in terms of their content and of their paleography, which has allowed us to presume the existence of a specific Novgorod school of Glagolitic writing in the 11th and 12th centuries.

  • Native People in a Pacific World
    Native People in a Pacific World: The Native Alaskan Encounter and Exchange with Native People of the Pacific Coast Gabe Chang-Deutsch 2,471 words Junior Research Paper The Unangan and Alutiiq peoples of Alaska worked in the fur trade in the early 1800s in Alaska, California and Hawaii. Their activities make us rethink the history of Native people and ​ exploration, encounter and exchange. Most historical accounts focus on Native encounters with European people, but Native people also explored and met new Indigenous cultures. The early 1800s was a time of great global voyages and intermixing, from Captain Cook's Pacific voyages to the commercial fur trade in the eastern U.S to diverse workplaces in Atlantic world ports. The encounters and exchanges between and among Native people of the Pacific Coast are major part of this story. Relations between Native Alaskans, Native Californians and Hawaiians show how Native-to-Native encounters and exchanges were important in the creation of empire and the global economy. During the exploration of the Pacific coast in the early 1800s, Unangan and Alutiiq people created their own multicultural encounters and exchanges in the Pacific with Russian colonists, but most importantly with the indigenous people of Hawaii and California. By ​ examining the religious and cultural exchanges with Russian fur traders in the Aleutian Islands, the creation of cosmopolitan domestic partnerships between different Native groups at Fort Ross and Native-to-Native artistic exchanges in Hawaii, we can see how Native-led events and ideas were integral to the growing importance of the Pacific and beginning an intercontinentally connected world.
