    No full text
    This paper discusses Aleksandar Solovyev?s research which he primarily carried out in Bogisic?s archive in Cavtat, as well as the research including other sources relevant for the legal history of our nation in the Dubrovnik region, in other coastal areas and in the countries in their immediate hinterland; all the documents belong to the period from the 15th till the 19th century. Although he discovered most of these documents in Bogisic?s archive, Solovyev got documents from other sources, too. Solovyev published the greatest part of these materials in the editions of The Serbian Royal Academy, but he also published some treatises and articles in the following magazines: Arhiv za pravne i drustvene nauke, Godisnjica Nikole Cupica and some others. Furthermore, the author particularly underlines the fact that Solovyev - in his introductory texts accompanying his publications - also did the scientific and critical analysis of the collected historical material. Studying Bogisic?s archive in Cavtat, Solovyev also got interested in the very personality of Baltazar Bogisic. In his articles in Arhiv za pravne i drustvene nauke, Solovyev particularly presented his discoveries about Bogisic?s archive, he also found an unknown manuscript of Bogisic?s, the one about a law project written for the rebels from Herzegovina when they rose against the Turks for the liberation of the Serbian nation in 1875. In his collaboration with the Herzegovian rebells, Bogisic expressed his Serbian patriotic feelings, too. As for his nationality, Bogisic felt to be a Serb (?a Serb catholic?, as he used to say), but also a member of the South Slavic nation. Thus Solovyev in one of his articles (in French) described Bogisic?s activity in the elaboration of the law projects for the newly liberated Bulgaria, which remained less known in our country. Discussing Bogisic?s patriotic activity, too, the author also presents other facts about his nationality. Although the results of Solovyev?s research work discussed in this paper were available to our scientific public, our scholars have not written about them so far.</jats:p

    Archbishop Nikanor (Brovkovich) as Critic of Progress and Well-wisher to the Railway

    No full text
    The author discusses the nineteenth century Russian Orthodox Archbishop Nikanor (Brovkovich) and his views on social and technical progress. Sources of this include: Nikanor’s sermon for the New Year of 1860, his sermon at the blessing of the train station at Odessa in 1884, and a few selected pages of the second volume of Nikanor’s tractate Positivistic Philosophy and Super-physical Reality (1876). In addition, a draft of Nikanor’s Odessa sermon exists and is found in the archbishop’s personal archive. Two sections of the draft are of essential significance and were later excluded by the author from the final version of his sermon. The author demonstrates how Nikanor, a representative of the world of the ecclesiastical academies attempted to respond to the challenge of progress, discover in it some sort of meaning and reveal its negative aspects. Nikanor worked from a specific gnoseological standpoint, at the root of which is the distinction between mind and intellect, between idea and understanding. According to Nikanor, the need for utilitarian progress is justified by rationalistic preconceptions, especially those of a pantheistic-idealistic and a materialistic nature. The author describes how Nikanor formulated his critique of progress and the railway. He mentions also several of Nikanor’s personal motives which determined his aversion to rapid transport. Nikonor was not alone in his rejection of progress. Contemporaries who shared his disposition included leading thinkers of the nineteenth century: N. V. Gogol’, P. I. Shalfeev, I. V. Kireevsky, K. S. and I. S. Aksakov, and K. N. Leont’ev. The author concludes that the sermons of Archbishop Nikonor are worthy of further study by students of Russian philosophy

    The Author of a Novel 'Tung-ou nü-hao-chieh (東欧女豪傑)

    No full text
    ‘Tung-ou nü-hao-chieh’ published in 1902-03, is one of the earliest works of Chinese literature which relates, though rather remotely, to anarchism. The most striking feature of this uncompleted novel is that its major characters are the historical figures in the Russian revolutionary movements of 1870s. They are especially the members of a group who formed in late 1870s an organization known as ‘narodnaya volya’; for instance, Sophia Perovskaya, Andrey Zhelyabov, Vera Figner, Stepan Khalturin, Alexander Solovyev, all of whom took part in various attempts against Alexander II’s life.The author of this novel used a pen-name Yü-i nü-shi (羽衣女士). A-ying (阿英-錢杏邨) believes that this pen-name was that of Chang Chu-chün (張竹君) while Feng Tzu-yu (馮自由) states that Lo P’u (羅普) wrote the novel.Chang Chu-chün, a woman doctor, who was trained by Dr. John Kerr of Canton, was a pioneer in the women’s movement of China. During the first decade of this century she vigorously advocated the cause of the betterment of women’s position in society. She put forward a unique argument on this subject. In practice, she rendered distinguished services in medical and vocational training for women. In the 1911 revolution, she took the initiative in Red Cross activities with her own volunteer Red Cross Society. It is not altogether impossible that she was the author.A closer look at the novel, however, reveals that the author seems to have been closely associated with Liang Ch’i-ch’ao(梁啓超). It is also apparent that the author obtained most of the information about the Russian revolutionists from Kemuyama Sentaro’s (煙山専太郎) Kinsei museifushugi (近世無政府主義). In this respect, it is more likely that Lo P’u, who was an intimate friend of Liang Ch’i-ch’ao and a student of the Waseda University, which published Kemuyama’s book in 1902, was the author of this novel.journal articl

    Bloch–Siegert shift in application to the astrophysical determination of the fundamental constants variation

    No full text
    AbstractWe have evaluated the Bloch–Siegert shift for the different values of magnetic fieldʼs strengths defined at astrophysical conditions, i.e. when the stars with the strong surface magnetic fields are taken as a powerful pumping source of radiation. It is found that the additional shift of resonant frequency should be taken into account in the search for the time variation of the fundamental constants. The main conclusion is that the influence of the electromagnetic field should be considered carefully in each special case of the corresponding frequency determination
