The aim of the paper is to provide an interdisciplinary analysis of cultural testimonies of the unique wound left by the camps in Ukrainian--Russian relations. Gulag literature, explored for decades in philology, is perceived mainly through the prism of the heritage of totalitarian systems and creative attitudes in the face of suffering, as extreme physical and mental experience. The aim of the paper is to analyze the works of Ukrainian artists of recent decades created as a result of imprisonment. Their literary and film creations make up the image of a wound inflicted in the name of achieving imperial goals while imprisoned in a camp. The juxtaposition of their diverse artistic reactions to the suffering of testimonies help to highlight the power with which the unsettled, forgotten, silenced, and now and unexpectedly updated wound of the camp past is reflected in today's attitudes of Ukrainians towards Russians.

This paper deals with video poetry as a phenomenon of contemporary art. A brief excursion into the history of video poetry is presented. The popularity of video poetry in the early 21st century is explained in this paper through many factors, one of which is the systematic, since 2002, holding of various festivals and contests of poetic video clips. The main attention is focused on the analysis of video clips presented at the international festival of video poetry 'Videostichia'. The peculiarity of the use of such a technique as color in the best video clips is revealed. It is noted that video poetry revises the idea of color, making it more symbolic and memorable. Each clip transforms the ordinary perception of color, turning it into a symbol of art and life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with the interpenetrability of the boundaries between artistic prose and autobiography and documentary. By analysing Petrushevskaya's Ninth Volume, the paper examines how the rhetorical tropes of fiction operate in a text that is essentially autobiographical in nature, mixing different genres, and how archetypal, psychological or literary patterns are projected on to biographical material. The cyclical arrangement of texts belonging to different periods and the blending of different discourses create the figure of a special autobiographical hero reflecting on the work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper explores biblical allusions in Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's short story Murder. It aims not merely to identify certain biblical themes, but, through an analysis of Chekhov's text and its biblical parallels, to attempt to provide a deeper understanding of the main character's changing worldview (a question interpreted by researchers in different, often conflicting ways). The paper also points to motivic and semantic connections between the biblical text and the internal struggle of faith that affects Chekhov's heroes. On one hand, two Old Testament stories from the Book of Genesis are examined: the fratricide of Abel by his brother Cain, and Jacob acquiring first-born status and the paternal blessing instead of his brother Esau, as well as Jacob's struggle with the angel. On the other hand, certain sections of the New Testament Gospel of Matthew are explored, as referenced in Murder, which point to two groups of ideas: the argument between Jesus and the Pharisees concerning proper religious practice and the true essence of faith, and Jesus's allegory about the camel, as well as his words on murder, which both ratify and amend the Ten Commandments. Through the prism of these references, Yakov's (and also Matvey's) internal journeys are interpreted as a shift between the law of the Old Testament and the teachings of the New Testament.

This paper analyzes twelve poems by Federico Garcia Lorca that Marina Cvetaeva received from the Russian Hispanist F. Kel'in and translated in 1941. Out of them, five poems were translated into Russian, five into French (these texts were identified and republished only in 2020), and two poems remained untranslated. In this paper, we analyse Cvetaeva's translation process as a reception of texts and compare poetic images from Garcia Lorca's original poems with Marina Cvetaeva's images in translations and her work. It is a well-known fact that Cvetaeva wrote to Kel'in saying she liked Lorca and that the poems were well chosen for her. This statement became the starting point of the work. We demonstrate the typological proximity and similarities of imagery between Garcia Lorca's poems and Cvetaeva's work and trace possible echoes of Cvetaeva's poetry in translations from the Spanish poet. In searching for translation solutions, Cvetaeva activates her vocabulary, as well as metrical, rhetorical, and compositional techniques, and introduces allusions to the works of other Russian authors into the texts.

This monograph presents the results of a joint interdisciplinary project of Russian and Hungarian philologists to study the facts of interaction between Russian and Hungarian cultures in the space of literary texts. It examines various manifestations of the interaction of cultures: from the study of cases of direct influence to intertextual forms of assimilation and interpretation of elements of a foreign culture, current trends in translation reception. The volume includes papers by a wide range of authors whose texts made up the material of the study (from F.M. Dostoevsky and S. Veresh to E. Vodolazkin and Y. Berg). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the narrative dynamics of two novels by Victor Erofeyev. The female discourse of Russian Beauty is characterized by the vertical dynamics of grotesque, while the discourse of the autobiographical narrator of Good Stalin is characterized by the dynamics of paradox, a horizontal movement between opposing truths. In both novels the Soviet aesthetic canon is undermined through the dynamics of narrative that denies the possibility of a singular truth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper discusses the tropological game in Boris Akunin's detective novel Pelagia and the Black Monk. The author focuses on the transformation of the main images in this contemporary work. Various periphrases and similes are then studied, as well as the destruction and renewal of redundant tropes, and the generation of new metaphors, particularly those related to color, nature, and zoomorphic images (e.g.the color black,rays). The figurative order of the text of the novel offers such potential correlations that expand the plan of interpretation of the novel in a new and unexpected direction, testifying to a truly postmodern rewriting of lingual, literal, and poetical clichés. Akey role in this processis played also by details (see Z. Hajnady). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the questions Dostoevsky's reception in Hungary in the last decades of the 19th and in the first two decades of the 20th centuries. The author investigates the growing interest towards Dostoevsky in the context of the new tendencies of the art and literature and gives a detailed survey of the most characteristic reactions (i.e. reviews, studies, introductions to the books) about the new translations and editions of Dostoevsky's works. Among the most relevant questions are treated the stereotypes about Russian culture and people, living in Hungary through the past centuries, the various interpretations of the Crime and Punishment and some comparative aspects in the analysis of this novel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Chekhov and His Prose (first published in 1965), the author, Thomas G. Winner contends that the subject matters of a few of Chekhov's short stories written in the 1880s (such as «Хорошие люди» [Excellent People]) were created in the spirit of Leo Tolstoy, yet the one called «Несчастье» [Misfortune], written also in 1886, already marked the beginning of a series of texts that can be interpreted directly as "a light parody" of Anna Karenina (1873-1877) as well. The basic question posed here concerns whether there is really a significant difference that can be observed between the above two works and whether they reveal this sharp difference in the reception of Tolstoyan ideas that Winner's monograph suggests. The paper seeks to answer this query on the basis of the interpretation of Excellent People and the textual representation of the issue of goodness. In this analysis, particular attention is given to the way in which Tolstoy's ideas are represented and to the author's poetic choices that bring the text close to Tolstoy's late short stories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The author of the paper approaches Lermontov's verse narrative (poema) The Demon by putting to the focus some clear-cut binaries, representing and suggesting, as their primary meaning, dichotomic pairs related to the system of literary characters (the Angel or Tamara vs. the Demon), evaluative concepts (eg., good vs. evil), and notions comprising ideological views (the celestial, the earthly world or the netherworld). The interpretation takes a distance from these definitions, examining the poetic modes of neutralising and removing the dichotomies in the text by weakening the semantic motivation for setting and interpreting the binaries; the emergence of monodualistic antinomy; and the creation of equivalences of motifs and constructs of reverse symmetry with the transformation of their reference. Resulting from these strategies for meaning-generation in Lermontov's text, a shift from an axiological conceptualisation of the world to the literary model of the human existential experience of the soul can be traced.

The paper attempts to interpret the Boldino topos in the film directed by Roman Balayan Guard Me, My Talisman (1986). It discusses the main tendencies in the reception of the Pushkin myth in Soviet culture in the period from the 1960s to the 1980s -- the neoromantic attitude to Pushkin's personality and works in the texts of the "sixtiers", the transformations of the myth in documentary cinema, and dissident literature over the next two decades. It examines the elements of cinema poetics of the time of "stagnation" and the cinema of Perestroika in the artistic structure of the film. The carnival character of the Boldino topos in the film is traced on several levels: the resemanticization of the "Paradise" topos, the discreditation of the social hierarchy and eclecticism of poetic texts, functions of the carnival dress-up, and deviance as an ostensible feature of the characters.

The paper discusses the form of the agreement on the choice of court according to Council Regulation (EU) 2019/1111 on jurisdiction, the recognition and enforcement of decisions in matrimonial disputes and the matters related to parental responsibility and on international child abduction (amendment) and impact agreement to the jurisdiction of other courts. The specificity of this agreement is the possibility of choosing a court in matters of family law, which was not previously possible. The goal of the study is to analyse the formal conditions for the validity of the agreement and to indicate its implementation in practice. The findings of the study showed the ways that the agreements on the choice of the competent court are concluded, and how to ensure their legal effect towards all courts in the European Union, i.e. their influence on the rules of lis pendens.

This article examines the evolution of the practice of hiring foreign specialists for the Russian civil and military service from the second half of the 17th to the first quarter of the 18th century. The author examines continuity and innovations in the methods of recruitment and the documentation of the processes associated with this. The paper identifies the main groups of people engaged in hiring foreigners. This aspect is important because the personalities of mediators left an imprint on the practical and legal basis for recruitment. It is concluded that, from a practical point of view, recruiters (who were sent abroad to hire foreign experts) faced similar tasks both during the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich and later, in the era of Peter I (these included problems of material support, the transportation of craftsmen, attracting specialists by favorable proposals, agreeing on conditions of service, etc.). The author also notes that as early as the second half of the 17th century there was a practice of issuing written contracts to foreign specialists, but this was only episodic. During the era of Peter the Great, the contract became the key basis for the admission of foreigners to the Russian civil and military service, and such contracts were based on the same principles as in the previous period. In order to attract a large number of foreign specialists, Peter I and his agents had to take into account the requirements of foreigners and legally expand their rights and privileges. This undoubtedly led to an improvement in both the social and legal status of foreigners as well as in the system of relations between the Russian state and its non-Russian hired specialists.

This article is devoted to how the first Soviet constitutions were perceived by first-wave Russian émigrés. Despite the relatively large number of lawyers among them, their analysis of the constitutions was not based on the theory of law. Instead, émigrés measured them against their compliance with the historical development of Russia as well as their compatibility with other laws and by-laws. Russians abroad were primarily concerned about the constitutions' implementation. Any study of this topic will therefore discuss not only these Russians' perception of the documents, but also of the Soviet state and its policies in the 1920s. Especially interesting are the arguments about the role of the Soviets and the Soviet system. This paper examines and compares views held by representatives of different political circles, identifying similarities and differences. Most of the émigrés' analyses of the Soviet system in the 1920s resulted in the following assessments: formal legislation was not being observed in practice; management was being gradually centralized; a transition was taking place away from the dictatorship of the proletariat and towards the dictatorship of the party, the oligarchy, and the autocracy of Stalin; the functions of the Soviet organs were being duplicated and replaced by the Communist Party; and bureaucracy was burgeoning.

Scientists describe the way young people (school children and university students) think today, as a fundamentally superficial, fragmentary, illogical mosaic. This mode of thinking significantly differs from the conceptual thinking specific to previous generations. Easy access to Internet content and electronic technologies induces students to plagiarize and to resign from independent action. The paper presents fragments of essays and exam tests bearing traces of Internet content manipulation. This practice is not considered as unethical by a number of students. However difficult it may seem to efficiently counteract the habit of copying and pasting material available online, it can be channeled into appropriate approaches and methods. To accommodate these recent changes in cognitive mechanisms, the educational material, and the theoretical elements which are offered to the modern pupils and students, one should intensively focus on contextualizing fragmentary information, providing records in the modernized forms such as modules, flowcharts, algorithms, and mind maps. This approach may help students overcome the inconsistency in the reception and reproduction of the information and avoid serious mistakes in their comprehension of the presented facts. The adaptation of the teaching techniques can form in students the skills of extracting the most important facts, following cause and effect relationships, and structuring the data accordingly [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
