To answer this question we estimate a version of the Burdett-Mortensen search equilibrium model and analyze how workers’ search behaviour responded to these reforms. We try both nonparametric and fully-parametric estimation methods and identify the cases in which the nonparametric approach cannot be applied. We find that the entitlement reforms are largely responsible for the increase of unemployment among unskilled workers

Andrey Bely: A Critical Review
No full textAndrey Bely, novelist, essayist, theoretician, critic, and poet, was a central figure in the Russian Symbolist movement of the 1920s, the most important literary movement in Russia in this century. Bely articulated a Symbolist aesthetic and originated a new approach to the study of Russian metrics and versification, giving rise to a new scholarly discipline that still thrives in the West.
Although regarded by some critics, including Vladimir Nabokov, as the author of the greatest Russian novel of this century, Bely has been nearly forgotten in his native country for ideological reasons. In the West he remains little known and generally under-valued. But with recent English translations of Kotik Letaev and his masterpiece, Petersburg, interest in Bely is increasing. Janecek\u27s book brings together some of the best modern scholarship on Bely and the Russian Symbolist movement of the 1920s.
Gerald Janecek is associate professor of Russian at the University of Kentucky.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_slavic_languages_and_societies/1001/thumbnail.jp
Andrey Kiselev: the life and the legend
No full textThis article is devoted to Andrey Kiselev, probably the most well-known Russian author of mathematics textbooks. His books remained in schools for nearly one hundred years, and his name became legendary, symbolizing the “good old days” when all was supposedly well with mathematics education. Meanwhile, even in Russia, let alone abroad, many aspects of Kiselev’s life are little known. Their study facilitates a better understanding of the complicated nature of the development of Russian and Soviet mathematics education, including the connection between them and seemingly distant social-political issues. The present article undertakes such a study. The author draws on his Russian publications, materials from Russian archives, and other primary sources

Andrey Muraviev’s The Russian Vilnius
No full textThe article is an attempt to present the impressions of Andrey Muraviev, religious writer,
theologian, poet, playwright, church and state activist, from his stay in Vilnius in 1863, on the basis of his work entitled The Russian Vilnius. It consists of six essays on Vilnius religious monuments: the Chapel of Our Lady of Ostra Brama, St. Paraskeva Orthodox church, Orthodox cathedral of Our Most Holy Lady, Orthodox church of translation of St Nicholas’ relics, Holy Trinity cathedral, Holy Spirit church and monastery complex. The author was only interested in monuments which would document the city’s connections to Russia and Orthodox Christianity. His reflections might be considered as a literary justification for the program of Russification of the north-west country, developed by the writer’s brother, Mikhail, who went down in Polish historical memory as Veshatiel
