To the 100th anniversary of Irina Antonova
No full textThis article is dedicated to the legendary Russian museum figure Irina Antonova (20.03.1922 —
30.11.2020), who worked at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts for 75 years, 52 years of
which as its director. The development of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts under the
leadership of Irina Antonova is seen by the author of this article as part of the evolution of
museum work in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The article emphasizes that the Pushkin Museum was often ahead of its time, laying the groundwork for major changes. For
example, with the opening of the Museum of Private Collections as part of the State Museum
of Fine Arts, the rehabilitation of private collecting in the country took place. The December
Nights festival created by Irina Antonova in collaboration with the brilliant pianist Svyatoslav
Richter in 1981 became a matrix of art festivals that took place in various museums of the
country during the following decades. The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts was charged
with promoting Western art in the USSR, of which it brilliantly took the advantage when
started displaying works by Picasso, Matisse, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, masterpieces
of drawing from the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Western European and American paintings
from American museums and others famous exhibitions. This is the visible part of Irina
Antonova’s dynamic activity. She approached academic work no less thoroughly, as well as the
organization of study and cataloguing of the collection of the State Museum of Fine Arts. And,
of course, much credit must go to Irina Antonova for preparing the program for the development
and reconstruction of the Pushkin Museum, which has been repeatedly revised and is
being finalized before our very eyes under the direction of Marina Loshak

'Pure and undefiled religion': the function of purity language in the Epistle of James
No full textWhereas commentators frequently restrict the categories for purity language in James
to either ritual or metaphorical (and uniformly conclude the language is a metaphor
for personal morality) this is overly restrictive and ignores how purity language was
used in the first-century. Current research of purity language in ancient Israel calls
into question the rigid either/or categorization of purity language in James. Such
descriptions are not only unjustifiably restrictive, but they also fail to account for the
function or meaning of the purity language within the rhetorical goals of the
composition.
The central argument of this investigation is that purity language both articulates and
constructs the composition's worldview and thus serves as an important theme in the
text. Chapter two discusses the different methods of analysis of purity and offers a
taxonomy of purity language. This taxonomy provides a more precise approach to
understanding the function of purity language. Chapter three argues for several
important aspects of the structure and strategy of the text. Specifically the three
interdependent characteristics of 1) an epistolary structure; 2) a coherent rhetorical
argument based on polar oppositions; 3) and the special function of James 1: 2-27 as
an introduction are suggested.
While attuned to the textual issues argued in chapter three, the categories developed in
the taxonomy were applied as a heuristic guide to understand the function of purity
and pollution in chapter four. This analysis demonstrated four specific things: 1)
though purity language occurs relatively infrequently, it is used at crucial points of the
composition (1: 26-27; 3: 6,17; 4: 8); 2) that the use of purity and pollution specifically
functions within the overall strategy of contrasts which leads readers to a decision; 3)
that the majority of the time purity language labeled the world (and by extension those
associated with it) as set against the implicit purity of God; and therefore, 4) the
readers of James must be separate from the impure world ("pure") in order to be
wholehearted in devotion to God ("perfect").
Because the purity of the audience is directly related to their proximity to the world,
chapter five asks what kind of separation is envisioned by the use of purity language.
While purity is indeed boundary language, the cultural stance of James is complex.
The author shows signs of acculturation, yet this acculturation is employed to call the
audience to specific points of separation from surrounding culture, namely separation
from patron-client relationships with the "rich" and use of inappropriate and deceitful
speech. Thus the composition is not calling for sectarian separation from the
surrounding culture, but rather is a complex document demonstrating cultural
accommodation while calling forth specific socio-cultural boundaries between the
readers and the world
Shifting responsibility for social services as enterprises privatize in Belarus
No full textIn Belarus, divestiture of social assets, a misnomer for fringe benefits that comprise a part of wages, is needed to transform enterprises so they can function appropriately in a market economy. Maintaining supply of these services after enterprise divestiture is an important public policy problem in transition economies. These fringe benefits, issued mainly in the form of housing and kindergarten services, were cut by at least two-thirds as a proportion of employee remuneration between 1994 and 1995 because of the economic downturn. This report debates whether most of these fringe benefits should continue to be subsidized or receive preferential tax treatment. A strong case is made for some government funding of the public health and kindergarten services, and public utility and housing services divested by enterprises. The reasons for assigning services such as education and health to local governments is debated and financing arrangements such as revenue sharing are examined. Among the problems cited with the latter are interregional imbalances caused by unequal resources distribution, tax breaks given to agriculture which has reduced payments to rural local governments, the absence of close links between beneficiaries and payers justifying extrabudgetary funding, and inadequate subnational government taxation raising insignificant amounts of revenue. Where transfers to local governments are required, formula financing is suggested for unconditional grants to low-income local governments and conditional grants to support specific objectives.Municipal Financial Management,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform
CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORIGIN OF THE BRONZE AGE IN THE MIDDLE DNIEPER REGION
No full textGlobular Amphora culture settlements make one of the most important systems of circulation of cultural patterns in the border zone between the drainage areas of the Baltic and Black Seas. One aspect of this problem, namely the „eastern exodus" mentioned in the title, has seemingly rich historiography. Under closer scrutiny, however, it reveals many intuitive opinions based on weak and insufficiently explored sources. This belief lay behind the present issue of the „Baltic-Pontic Studies". The papers presented in this issue open new areas of discussion of the problems in question. For the first time, the discussion is set against an incontrovertible scale of absolute chronology. This issue anticipates a broader synthesising presentation to be published in the not too distant future

Assessing Conditions for Influence of Interest Groups in the EU. IHS Political Science Series: 2005, 106
No full textAn important factor for the ability of interest groups to contribute to democratic decisionmaking is the balance between their input and the political autonomy of decision-makers. This article focuses on the results of four case studies of decision-making in the fields of IT and transport in the EU. These case studies show that private actors do contribute to decision-making, but they are less influential for EU politics than anticipated. Based on the case studies, this article assesses how and to what extent interest groups contribute to decision-making in the two sectors, in the context of the EU’s political structure and, notably, its alleged democratic deficit
