No full textThe present paper deals with the book by Dimitry Tuptalo, Metropolitan of Rostov, titled “Runo Orošennoe” compared with the earlier work of the same author “Chuda Presviatij i Preblagoslovennoj Devy Marii” (The Miracles of the Holiest an the Most Blessed Virgin Mary”) as well as with the contemporary West European religious literature in the aspects of structure, language and symbolic and metaphoric images. The conscious orientation of Dimitry on the Byzantine and Church Slavonic canon as well as its creative interpretation based in the baroque framework are stressed
OUTSTANDING RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS: DIMITRY AND ELENA WENTZEL
No full textThe paper presents the scientific biographies of two outstanding Soviet mathematicians and teachers Elena Sergeevna and Dimitry Alexandrovich Wentzel. The main attention is paid to the restoration of genuine events related to the scientific, pedagogical and social activities of these people. The paper extensively uses published materials, as well as oral memoirs of the participants of these events – friends and acquaintances of our heroes. Special attention is paid to the history and activities of the country’s largest military university – the Air Force Engineering Academy named after Zhukovsky (VVIA). Almost the whole life of the Wentzels was closely connected with the Academy. The life and customs of the Petersburg (Petrograd) University in the 1920s are described in detail, where E.S. Wentzel learned. The paper provides the information about many famous professors and teachers of both universities, reconstructs and analyzes the pedagogical activities of E.S. Wentzel in VVIA and MIIT (Moscow), her scientific and publishing activities in the field of probability theory and operations research. The author reconstructs and dwells on her literary activity under a pen name I. Grekova. As a writer, E.S. Wentzel contacted with the famous literary men (A.T. Tvardovsky, K.I. Chukovsky, A. Galich, etc.). The paper also describes the scientific activity of D.A. Wentzel in the field of ballistics, his contribution to publishing textbooks for military universities, his experience in training highly qualified personnel (candidates, doctors, academicians), his scientific and organizational activities (the creation of the Faculty of Armaments in the VVIA, the foundation of the Academy of Artillery Sciences of the USSR and others). The special aim of the paper was to recreate the human images of Elena and Dimitry Wentzel
“Through the Letter Sent with my Envoys to Kiev” St. Dimitry`s of Rostov Contacts with Kiev and Chernigov in 1701–1709
No full textThe article examines st. Dimitry’s of Rostov contacts with Kiev and Chernigov in 1701–1709. Dimitry’s correspondence is vast, but addressees of the most of the known letters are Dmitry’s Moscow friend and Great Russian hierarchs. Problem of st. Dimitry’s contacts with his Little Russian acquaintances still remain obscure. This article deals with the information of st. Dimitry of Rostov correspondence with addressees in Kiev and Chernigov and the circumstances of Dimitry’s visit to Chernigov in 1704. In time of his episcopal service st. Dimitry exchanged letters with Josaph Krokowski, archimandrit of Kievan Lauras and future metropolitan of Kiev. Letters were sent with agents of both hierarchs. This correspondence was devoted to the publication of the “Lives of the Saints” in the Lavra’s typography. There are no evedencies of st. Dimitry writing letteres to members of Chernigov clergy in 1701–1709, although st. John Maximovich archbishop of Chernigov sent his new books to Dimitry of Rostov. However in february of 1704st. Dmitry undertook a journey to Chernigov that left almost no traces in sources. The main evidence is record of Pachomios of Roman, a Moldavian ascetic, about himself meeting Rostov metropolitan in Chernigov in 1704. This trip was an exeptional event and could be connected with the demise of Parthenios Neboza, metropolitan of Holmogory, who died suddenly on 2 january 1704 in Yaroslavl. Author concludes that Dimitry of Rostov in 1701–1709 was not isolated from his old friends and mantained his ties with educated clergy of Little Russia during the years of his Episcopal service in Moscow and Rostov
On Verb Functions in the Letters Addressed by Dimitry Rostovsky to Stefan Yavorsky
No full textThe article is focused on an actual issue of linguistics – verb functions in the epistolary texts, in particular, the studies deals with the analysis of Dimitry Rostovsky's personal letters addressed to his friend Stefan Yavorsky in the period from the edge of 1707 till the beg. of 1708. The choice of the verbal units is motivated by the fact that they denote various types of human activity, states and relations, and their presence in personal letters reflects processes of communication and interpersonal relations between an addressee and an addresser. The studies results have proved that the verbal units perform in the epistolary letters the text-constructing, style-denoting, and characterization functions. The text-constructing function is presented in the etiquette frame of the letter; it is shown in the content progression from an introduction to the main body of the letter, the verbs as linguistic means are explicitly developing the topic. The style-denoting function is associated with the personal literary manners of the author, it points to certain preferences in the choice of languages means and their usage and reflects individual rhetoric, expressiveness, irony of the addresser. The characterization as a function is viewed in two aspects: the text interpretation can make either addressee's features and personal relations or the addresser personality vivid and evident. Due to the results of the studies both addressee and addresser are educated people with a high level of language competence, they were masters of the language resources usage

Escapist Technology in the Service of Neo-Feudalism
No full textPublisher Copyright: © 2018, The Author(s).New technologies, when deployed without addressing the flaws of the current legal-political reality are bound to become anything but an instrument of empowerment and liberation. It would be a grave mistake to put technology to the service of the mythology of citizenship, instead of interrogating citizenship’s essence and functions and questioning its darker corners.Peer reviewe
<i>Natronolimnohabitans</i>
No full textNa.tro.no.lim.no.ha’bi.tans. Arabic n. natrun or natron, soda, sodium carbonate; Gr. fem. n. limne, lake; L. masc. n. habitans, an inhabitant; N.L. masc. n. Natronolimnohabitans, an organism living in soda lakes.The genus Natronolimnohabitans represents a currently monospecies alkaliphilic haloarchaeon inhabiting hypersaline soda lakes. Initially, the type species was placed in the genus Natronolimnobius mainly based on the phylogenetic relatedness inferred from the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities. However, later on, it was reclassified to the current genus, Natronolimnohabitans, based on the results of more advanced phylogenomic analyses. Cells are rod-shaped and nonmotile. Gram-stain-negative, and red-pigmented. Obligate aerobic, and oxidase- and catalase-positive. Extremely halophilic with a growth Na+ range between 2.5 and 4.5M (optimum at 3.5 M). Cells lyse in less than 0.5M NaCl. Obligately alkaliphilic with a growth pH range between 7.5 to 10.0 (optimum at 9.5). Mesophilic or thermotolerant (optimal growth at 45∘C). Chemoorgano-trophic, utilizing mostly organic acids as carbon and energy source. The major polar lipids are diphytanyl (C20:C20) and phytanyl-sesterterpanyl (C20:C25) diether derivatives of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylglycero-phosphate methyl ester (PGP-Me). The major respiratory quinones are MK-8 and MK-8(H2). Isolates have been obtained from soda lakes. DNA G+C content (mol%): 63.1 (HPLC), 64.3 (genome).
