Issues of countering the shadow economy in the scientific literature
No full textThe article summarizes the theoretical and methodological tools for studying the shadow
economy in foreign and domestic scholarship. A comparative analysis of the existing and used
diagnostic approaches for scaling the shadow economy, including review articles devoted to
this paper, is carried out. The characteristics of scientific publications on countering the shadow
economy are presented. In the course of the study, an analysis of features and directions
of research by Russian and foreign scientists of the phenomenon of “shadow economy” was
carried out, a comparison of the data array of scientific publications by bibliometric methods
(VOSviewer) conducted on the international databases Dimensions, which is one of the new
and is characterized by its objectivity, and the Scopus database, which is the most qualitative
and widespread for the analysis of bibliographic data. It was revealed that studies in the
format of articles on the shadow economy are mostly published in the humanities, which is
more consistent with the Scopus database. For domestic articles, the eLIBRARY.RU scientific
electronic library was used, as one of the largest and most authoritative bibliographic databases
in Russia. It was revealed that the citation rate of Russian scientific works is low, but at
the same time there are high counts of downloads and views, which indicates interest in this
topic, but also the low scientific significance of these publications. According to the authors,
in domestic and foreign scientific publications, there are insufficient recommendations on
counteracting the shadow economy and, taking into account the conclusions of the analysis
of methods for measuring the scale of the shadow economy, insufficient attention is paid to
the regionalization of factors in the development of shadow economic relations, which would
make it possible to increase the practical efficiency of the scientific research. A review of methods
for measuring the scale of the shadow economy allows us to conclude that it is difficult to
understand what the shadow economy is.The research was carried out with the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research
as part of the scientific project no. 20-110-50542
Optimization of the system of personal property insurance protection: China’s experience and opportunities for Russia
No full textChina’s modern insurance market is the largest in the world in terms of several key indicators:
both the number of contracts concluded and the volume of premiums collected. At the same
time, insurance products related to property insurance are the second most popular among
the population. However, the development curve of the insurance market in China is significantly
different from the trajectories of changes in the insurance markets in Europe or the
United States. This article is a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of insurance relations
in the Chinese market under the influence of various factors, such as changes in the macroeconomic
environment, the introduction of innovative technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the transition from a planned economic system to a market one, as well as
after China’s joining the WTO, external economic factors changed the development trends
of China’s insurance industry. Based on the data of the National Bureau of Statistics of China
for 2007–2020 and the Wind database, the authors built an econometric model that allowed
analyzing the impact of various factors on the growth of property insurance in China. Special
attention is paid to the impact of modern trends associated with the active introduction of
digital technologies and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on the development
of the property insurance segment. The ongoing optimization of the system of insurance protection
of the property of the population is primarily due to its risk management function.
China’s experience in the development of insurance relations in the national market may be in
demand in Russia, which belongs to countries with a developing insurance market.The reported study ‘‘Improvement of Insurance Coverage of the Population under Biological Threat”
was funded by St Petersburg State University, Pure ID: 75249176
Will and the legal reserve of inheritance in Korean law
Get PDFPart V of the Korean Civil Code regulates legal relations in respect of inheritance. Of the three
chapters that comprise Part V, the first Chapter stipulates general provisions, thereby governing
inheritance in the absence of a will. The second Chapter lays down the legal norms
regarding wills, whereas the last of the chapters is dedicated to the ‘legal reserve of inheritance’,
the reserved portion in the inherited property of the deceased person. From a comparative
law perspective the legal reserve of inheritance is far from an institution unique to
Korea. On the contrary, most jurisdictions have legislation that addresses issues of disinheritance
in some form or other. The trait that is relatively characteristic of Korean law is that it
chooses to strongly protect the right of the legal reserve of inheritance, which in turn results
in limiting the freedom of testation. This was a conscious decision made by the legislator
in the late 1970s, some 17 years after the Civil Code was enacted and entered into force,
when Korean lawmakers inserted a new Chapter on the legal reserve of inheritance into Part V
(Inheritance) in an effort to reflect traditional family values that placed special emphasis on
family ties. This objective of this paper is to offer an overview of wills and the legal reserve of
inheritance in Korean inheritance law. Looking at how the inheritee voluntarily (by means of a
will) and involuntarily (by means of the legal reserve of inheritance) disposes of his/her assets
after passing away, will hopefully help shed light on some characteristics of Korean inheritance

Events of the Civil War in the North-West of Russia in the Ego-Documents of the Military Personnel of the Northern-Western Army (1918–1920)
No full textThe article is devoted to the analysis of sources of personal origin, reflecting the views of the military
personnel of the White Guard North-Western Army on the events of the civil war that unfolded in the north-westernregion of Russia in 1918–1920. These documents make it possible to obtain the necessary, valuable and in
many cases unique first-hand information from people who directly participated in the civil war. Meanwhile, the
ego-documents of the participants in the white movement in the North-West of Russia rarely become the subject
of special study. The study was based mainly on previously unpublished documents from the Large fund of the
Archive-Museum of the Alexander Solzhenitsyn House of Russia Abroad (ASHRA Archive-Museum). The features
of understanding by the military personnel of the circumstances of the emergence of the white movement in the
region, including the role of the “great powers” in this process, are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the
problems of motivation of military personnel who voluntarily joined the ranks of the White formations, their attitude
towards the civilian population and towards the enemy — the Red Army soldiers, including prisoners. The
question of the level of provision of the White Guard detachments with food and uniforms is revealed. The analysis
of ego-documents created by representatives of the white movement in the North-West of Russia significantly
expands the knowledge available in science about the features of civil confrontation in the region, contributes to
a deep understanding of the role of the human factor in extreme everyday life

To the question of the poetics of the Antiochus Cantemir’s poems
No full textThe article offers generalizing data concerning the system of rhetorical techniques used by A. D. Kantemir in small and medium-sized poetic genres. The poetic practice of Kantemir is compared with the recommendations from the treatises of Feofan Prokopovich De arte poetica and De arte rhetorica libri X, concerning the use of various rhetorical devices in certain literary genres and styles. The hypothesis of the work is the assumption of the synthetic nature of the poetic syllable of Antiochus Kantemir, which is close not so much to the classicistic requirements of clarity and accuracy of the syllable as to the traditions of the Old Russian book style of weaving words. For the first time undertaken comprehensive analysis of tropes and figures used by Kantemir in his poetry, testifies to their qualitative and quantitative diversity and to the familiarity of the creator of Russian satire. The system of Kantemir tropes and figures analyzed in grammatical, stylistic and linguo-poetic aspects are introduced into scientific use for the first time. Inversion, ellipsis, amplification, lexical repetition, question and exclamation are the most common types of rhetorical devices in Kantemir’s poetry. Comparison, metonymy, personification and paraphrase are much more rare and genre conditioned in the works of Kantemir. The marginal varieties of tropes and figures of Kantemir include hyperbole, gradation, chiasm, silence, pun. Kantemir acts as an innovator who determined the further paths of the formation of Russian lyric poetry
Corpus-based discourse analysis of the lexemes related to COVID-19 pandemic in the German magazine Der Spiegel (online version)
No full textThe article gives a detailed insight into pandemic media discourse by revealing and analyzing
its lexical changes. The research aims to observe the dynamic processes in the vocabulary:
the intensity and usage frequency of the key discourse words, neologisms, borrowings, the
reflection processes of important social and political events in the vocabulary. The research is
based on the DIMEAN multilevel linguistic and discourse analysis model, elements of corpus
analysis, concordance compilation with AntConc program and Voyant Tools web application,
as well as methods of dictionary definitions and contextual semantic analysis. The material of
the study is based on the current theme-based publications from the German news website
Der Spiegel dated 2020 and 2022. Structuring the material into two sub-corps (according to
the year, 50 articles each) enables to demonstrate a linguistic analysis of a specific time period
and present our observations on lexical changes of German COVID-19 pandemic media discourse.
The study applies both traditional and modern methods of computer analysis of modern
media discourse that is relevant to the current linguistic study approach. The new multilevel
comparative analysis of the theme-based media discourse by means of corpus analysis
allows to track lexical changes and to observe the dynamics and evaluation of topics in the
socio-political discourse. As a result of conducted research in two sub-corps were revealed
the most frequent lexemes taking into account macro- and micro-contexts; in the group of the
keywords most relevant for the two periods the contextual-semantic analysis was provided
The founding of first Russian Open-air Museum of Architecture in Kolomenskoye: The hard struggle of P. D. Baranovskiy
No full textThis article considers the founding and first years of existence of museum in Kolomenskoye.
The history of the museum in 1923–1930 is traced basing on a rich archive material from
archive of Kolomenskoye museum-reserve, Central state archive of Moscow region and Department
of Written sources of State Historic Museum. In this article, the condition of architectural
monuments in Kolomenskoye during first years after the revolution and their use by
different organizations is described in detail. The administrative struggle of Petr Dmitrievich
Baranovskiy for transfer of monuments of former tsar’s estate of 16th–19th centuries to museum is in focus. The author considers difficult issue of museum — church relations at that
period and their influence on the attitude of Kolomenskoye dwellers and dwellers of another
nearest villages to the museum. The article also touches upon the problem of museum’s security
and its existence in conditions of hard criminal situation of first post-revolutionary
years. The article indirectly considers the issues of the formation of museum staff and restauration
of the monuments. Above the frames of this article are the issues of the formation
of the museum’s collection and biographies of its first employees, including the biography of
P. D. Baranovskiy, about whom many works have already been written. The actuality of the
theme of founding of the museum in Kolomenskoye is due to the forthcoming one hundred
anniversary of the museum. At this moment, there are no researches in scientific literature,
which could give a holistic view of the founding of the first open-air museum of architectural
monuments in Russia in former summer residence of Russian tsars
Философская проблематика романов Томаса Вулфа
No full textРабота "Философская проблематика романов Томаса Вулфа" посвящена исследованию философского содержания названных произведений. В работе прослеживается диалектическое напряжение между эстетическим и духовным уровнями существования. Исследование выявляет, как происходит развитие духовного антагонизма в экзистенции Джорджа Уэббера. Финал этой динамики реализуется как трансцендентальный момент, в котором демонстрируются экзистенциально-онтологические границы художественной литературы.The principal aim of the thesis "Philosophical motives in Thomas Wolfe's novels" is to uncover the philosophical meaning of the aforementioned literary works. The thesis contains detailed observations of the dialectical tension between the aesthetical and spiritual modes of existence. The development of spiritual antagonism in George Webber's existentia is also observed. Its climax is interpreted as a transcendental moment which demonstrates the existential and ontological boundaries of the fictitious world
Термодинамические свойства и процессы испарения керамики на основе систем, содержащих оксиды гафния и редкоземельных элементов
Get PDFВ рассматриваемой работе масс-спектрометрическим эффузионным методом Кнудсена впервые определены термодинамические свойства и процессы испарения многокомпонентной керамики на основе систем, содержащих оксиды гафния, циркония, иттрия, лантана и самария, при температурах до 3000 К. Полученные значения термодинамических свойств свидетельствуют об отрицательных отклонениях от идеальности в изученных системах La2O3-Y2O3-HfO2, Sm2O3-Y2O3-HfO2, La2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2-HfO2 и Sm2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2-HfO2, включая соответствующие бинарные системы. На примере рассматриваемых многокомпонентных систем проиллюстрирована возможность расчёта термодинамических свойств образующихся в них твёрдых растворов с привлечением полуэмпирических методов Колера, Тупа, Редлиха-Кистера и Вильсона по данным о равновесиях в бинарных системах. При сопоставлении с экспериментальными данными даны рекомендации по выбору оптимального полуэмпирического подхода для расчёта термодинамических свойств в различных концентрационных интервалах исследованных систем.In the study under consideration, the thermodynamic properties and vaporization processes of the multicomponent ceramics based on the systems containing hafnia, zirconia, yttria, lanthana, and samaria, have been determined for the first time using the Knudsen effusion mass spectrometric method at temperatures up to 3000 K. The obtained values of the thermodynamic properties indicate negative deviations from the ideality in the La2O3-Y2O3-HfO2, Sm2O3-Y2O3-HfO2, La2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2-HfO2, and Sm2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2-HfO2 systems under study, including the corresponding binary systems. On the example of the multicomponent systems under consideration, the possibility of calculation of the thermodynamic properties of the solid solutions formed in them involving the semi-empirical Kohler, Toop, Redlich-Kister, and Wilson methods based on the data on equilibria in the binary systems has been illustrated. In comparison with the experimental data, recommendations have been given for choosing the optimal semi-empirical approach to calculate the thermodynamic properties in various concentration ranges of the studied systems
