Academic literature on the topic 'Yegorov'

The article on the material of unpublished archival documents (mainly epistolary) highlights the unknown details of the preparation of the Complete Works of Aleksey Khomyakov, which survived from 1861 to 1907. There are five editions; their differences from each other are investigated. An annotated bibliographic review of the best editions of Aleksey Khomyakov, published in the Russian Diaspora and in the USSR, as well as in Russia over the past 30 years, is given. In anticipation of the release of the modern, scientifically verified Complete Works of the writer in 10 volumes, prepared at the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the guidance of Boris Yegorov, the most significant achievements of the research group are described, especially about the finds in the archives and periodicals of unknown works of Aleksey Khomyakov and the publication of his creative manuscripts. For some of them (“Song of the Cossack”, “Experience in Improving Winter Roads by Rolling”, etc.), updated dates are given. A number of texts (“Genius”, “The Sexton”) were first attributed to Aleksey Khomyakov according to stylistic and thematic features, as well as memoirs. The in-neat autographs, fragments of the poems “Winter Anthem” and “The Sexton” are published for the first time, and the full text of Aleksey Khomyakov’s ballad “The Prisoner” (the early 1820s) is presented in the appendix to the article.

Abstract With great dispatch, Yegor Yakovlev was named head of state television. His was to be the first post-Soviet leadership of the giant institution. Yakovlev, the former editor of Moscow News, had used that weekly to press well beyond the limits of glasnost. He could do so because his circulation was mainly foreign (it was published in a number of foreign languages and the Russian edition was very limited at first), and his appeal in Moscow was to a narrow swath of intellectuals. Even so, he was frequently called on the carpet. During the 1991 coup attempt, he defied the ban on nonconforming newspapers by publishing the underground paper, Obshchaya gazeta.

The article examines Mikhail Prishvin’s story “Spas- Chekryak,” which opens the prose cycle “New Earth” in the book of “responses to life,” “Zavoroshka” (1913), in a broad historical, cultural, and religious-philosophical context. Dedicated to the writer’s impressions of the pilgrimage to the Bolkhov district of the Oryol province to the famous priest Georgy Kossov (1855–1928), “Spas-Chekryak” continues the theme of apology of the white clergy and its public vocation in a situation of tense religious, and philosophical searches in Russian society at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries. T he a rticle d iscusses t he writer’s spiritual and worldview position through his dialogue and dispute with V.V. Rozanov “about the sweetest Jesus and the bitter fruits of the world.” The synthesis of “earthly” and “heavenly,” physical and metaphysical principles, organizing the artistic space of the story, determines the logic and ontology of Prishvin’s vision of the world, the key to comprehension of which is the idea of “recognition of reason in religious affairs,” tracing to the spiritual and practical experience of the elder Ambrose of Optina, who blessed Yegor Chekryakovsky for pastoral service “in the world” and “for the world.”

The aim of our study is the description and initial systematization of the texts about saints in the Russian collection of the ELM folklore archive labeled ERA Vene – the records from the 1920s-40s, created by the ELM collectors belonging to the Russian population of Estonia. Among the texts about saints in the Russian collection of the ELM archive we can find fairy tales (magical and legendary), spiritual and ethical legends, lore (stories about local landscape features, natural and cultural objects), bylichkas (mythological stories), stories about miracles (legends-bylichkas), legendary stories about help and punishment from saints. Thus, texts about saints in the Russian archive can be divided into 2 large groups: 1) narrative texts, i.e. texts that tell a story; 2) discursive texts-descriptions of beliefs, customs, perceptions. The most frequent protagonists of the texts of different genres and beliefs are such saints as St. Nicholas of Myra (commonly known as Nicholas the Wonderworker or Saint Nicholas), the Great Martyr George the Victory-bearer (known among Estonian Russians as Yegoriy), the Old Testament prophet Elijah (Elijah the Prophet), the Venerable John Cassian the Roman (popularly known as Kasyan the Merciful). Russians of Estonia also knew local saints or saints of the nearby lands - St. John Archbishop of Novgorod (12th century), Monk Makariy Roman of Novgorod (late 15th - early 16th centuries), Monk-martyr Korniliy of Pskov-Pechersk, Monk Nikandr of Pskov (16th century), Izborsk righteous man Matvey the Miserable (early 20th century). The list of all the saints is quite extensive: Archistratigus Michael, King Solomon, John the Forerunner and the Baptist, Apostle Andrew the First-Called, Venerable Sergius of Radonezh, Great Martyr and Healer Pantheliimon, Great Martyr Paraskeva Friday, Martyrs Kirik and Julita, Hymenless and Wonderworkers Cosmas and Domian, Martyrs Florus and Laurus, Great Martyr Anastasia of Sirmium, Monks Savvatiy and Zosima of Solovtsy, Holy Martyr Antipas of Pergamon, etc. At the same time, King Solomon is a protagonist of fairy tales, in one tale the main character is Andrew the First Called, the other saints are mentioned in connection with the beliefs about what needs they help with, what prayers are addressed to them, what holidays and how they are celebrated. In many cases, the customs coincide with those of the Seto ethnic group living in the same area, and there are similarities with the Latvians living in the Ludza region, and Belarusians. The texts combine the elements of the Christian canonical, apocryphal, and folkloric traditions. This philosophy includes various etiological (including cosmological), eschatological, ethno-confessional perceptions, a set of ethical norms, the most important components of which are notions of good and evil, sin and miracle. As for the veneration of St. Nicholas, according to the ELM archive, he was considered a „universal“ helper with all the problems of life, while other saints had their own particular «specialization». At the same time the popular saint Kasyan, nicknaed «the Unmerciful» had nothing in common with his canonical prototype, Saint John Kasyan the Roman, a Christian monk and theologian, the founder of monasticism in Gaul, and a theorist of monastic life. Thus, the texts of the Russian ELM archive on saints constitute a unique collection that is a reflection of the peasant worldview peculiar to the 1920s and 1940s.

The integral solutions of the lidar equation (Klett, 1981) commonly in use suffer from the fact of a priori assumed boundary values and relationship between backscattering and extinction coefficients. The integral method of the multiposition lidar sounding of the atmospheric aerosols was developed to exclude traditional systematic errors. The method is based on sounding of investigated atmospheric volume by lidar system transmitting pulses from different points in space and receiving the backscattering signals. It gives possibility to find a posteriori relationship between measured coefficients and the unknown boundary values using Bernulli solutions of lidar equation for beampaths segments forming polygons with common points. The effectiveness of the method is analysed for the ruby lidar system (Yegorov, 1996).
