The question of the unifi ed field of Church history studies in Russia’s pre-revolutionary era recently became under hot discussion among historians and theologians. Suggesting that the approved program of Church-historical research in this period has not been formed, experts are trying to find the cause of this discrepancy between representatives of secular and ecclesiastical approach and facts about cooperation between them. The proposed publication shows the position of the Department of Church history at Moscow University at the end of 1894, when doctor of theology priest Alexander Ivantsov-Platonov decided to communicate his position to the secular historian and doctor of the universal history Mikhail Sergeyevich Corelin. For Ivantsov-Platonov it was a thought-out position. The Professor wanted to attract student attention and public interest to the problem of Church history. In this regard, in the absence of the nominee to vacancy from Theological Academy, Ivantsov-Platonov wanted to see on his chair secular historian, has already attracted the attention of students studying questions closely connected with the history of the Church. It was a risky option, because secular professors of the University were considered such an option primarily from the practical point of view, especially from the point of view of the curriculum of the faculty. Above all this project was not agreed by The Ministry of national education. This led to the failure of Ivantsov-Platonov project and final marginalization of the Department of Church history at the historical-philological faculty of Moscow University in the early 20th century.

The prevalence of affective disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is significantly higher than in the general population of people of the same age. It is known that the effectiveness of antidepressants in PD with depressive disorder is lower than in patients with primary depression. For depression resistant to standard treatments, other therapeutic strategies are available. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is one of the most popular and safe brain stimulation methods that has been successfully used to treat primary depression. The accumulation of experience in the use of TMS has made it possible to expand the application of the method to other diseases, including PD. The article provides literature data on the use of different TMS protocols for the treatment of depressive disorder in patients with PD.

Clinical, psychometric, anamnestic methods were used., Results and Conclusion: The multiple regression model of help-seeking by inpatients with depressive and neurotic disorders is characterized by the high level of multiple correlation (r=0.85). This model allows the prediction of the time of help-seeking in the group of inpatients or individually, which can be used as a basis for programs of prevention of delayed help-seeking behavior.

Comorbid diagnosis of panic disorder and alcoholism is common in clinical practice. There are several theories that explained the comorbidity but no one of them has been completely proved. Sequence of disease manifestation in patients with comorbid pathologies remains unclear but different combinations may exist. Many studies suggest that anxiety disorders precede the development of alcoholism. Moreover, the prospective research has revealed that panic disorder is a highly significant predictor of alcoholism. The effectiveness of therapy was shown to be several times lower in the presence of comorbid anxiety disorders. At the same time, the problems of adequate therapy of patients with comorbid pathology remain unsolved.
