The Scribe of Russian Shanghai: Vladimir Zhiganov and his Perennial Masterpiece
No full textVladimir Zhiganov (Jiganoff; 1896–1978) – photographer, archivist, author, and philanthropist – lived his professional life amid the Russian diaspora in Shanghai, China, and his energies were singularly devoted to his community. He produced only one work: an illustrated atlas, Russians in Shanghai, published in 1936. Few histories are as fundamental to the study of their subject as is this book. It is a photographic index of Russian people, organisations, and businesses in Shanghai, and it remains the most comprehensive and, in many respects, the sole source of information on the diaspora prior to the Second World War. Zhiganov was his community’s only biographer, but his own career is still enigmatic, and the only accounts we have of his life are his own. This essay traces the rise of the Russian community as reflected in Zhiganov’s definitive historical portrait of Shanghai’s ‘Little Russia,’ and examines the early years of Communist Shanghai through the eyes of the last remaining Russian
Contribution of Abbess Ekaterina (Efimovskaya) to the Revival of the Deaconesses Order in Russia
No full textThe article deals with the main concepts, ideas and practical measures
for the revival of the ancient order of deaconesses in Russia in the late 19th — early 20th centuries taken by the abbess Ekaterina (Efimovskaya), the prioress of the Lesninsky Holy Mother of God Monastery. The author presents the main stages of the formation of the public and church service of Countess E. B. Efimovskaya and the prerequisites for her taking monastic vows. The author analyzes the church debate on “new monasticism”, which served as a justification for the missionary,
educational and social activities of the Lesninsky Monastery, which was officially established in 1859. The memorandum by the abbess Ekaterina presented to the Holy Synod in 1905 is published in full for the first time. It contained proposals for the revival of the institute of deaconesses in Russia as well as the establishment of a community and a school of deaconesses on the basis of the Lesninsky monastery. The article considers the reception of these proposals by the church, which was positive in general, but was not followed by the official decision to establish the institute of deaconesses. However, the lack of the decision did not prevent Lesninsky Monastery sisters from continuing their activities. The author analyzes the features of ascetic practice and liturgical life, as well as the education policy and the principles of
children upbringing in the monastery arranged according to the deaconesses service
Księgi Metamorphoseon В. Отвиновского как источник для русских переводов Метаморфоз Овидия начала XVIII века: номинация святилищ
No full textThe article examines the translation of lexemes nominating shrines in Polish Ovid’s Metamorphoses adaptation Księgi Metamorphoseon, to jest, Przemian od Publiusa Owidiusza Nasona Wierszami opisane made by Walerian Otwinowski in 1638. From this Polish verse translation in early 18th century was made both Russian translations of Metamorphoses. Thus the results of present study can be considered also as starting point for further examination of Russian translations. It is determined that in Otwinowski’s version lexeme kościół was chosen as a unified neutral equivalent for some different Latin nominations of pagan sanctuaries. Comparison with another Polish translation of Metamorphoses, Jakob Żebrowski’s Metamorphoseon, to jest Przeobrażenia ksiąg piętnaście (1636), shows that Otwinowski’s decision to translate different Latin lexical equivalents by unified lexical item is a distinctive feature of his translation. For further study in translation techniques in both Russian translations it is important that the Polish origin (Otwinowski’s translation) itself doesn’t represent a field for a variety of translation correspondences within considered lexemes.В статье исследуются принципы перевода наименований сакральных построек в польской комментированной версии Метаморфоз Овидия Księgi Metamorphoseon, to jest, Przemian od Publiusa Owidiusza Nasona Wierszami opisane, изданной Валерианом Отвиновским в Кракове в 1638 г. Именно с этого польского текста в начале XVIII в. были выполнены первые полные русские переводы Метаморфоз. Устанавливается, что в абсолютном большинстве случаев В. Отвиновский выбрал единый нейтральный вариант для перевода разных латинских наименований языческих святилищ – лексему kościół. Сравнение перевода В. Отвиновского с переводом Я. Жебровского, изданным в 1636 г., показывает, что унификация вариантов перевода была сознательным выбором В. Отвиновского. Проведённое исследование может стать точкой отсчёта для дальнейшего анализа обращения с наименованиями святилищ в русских переводах.
W. Otwinowskio „Księgi Metamorphoseon“ kaip XVIII amžiaus pradžios Ovidijaus „Metamorfozės“ vertimų į rusų kalbą šaltinis: šventovių pavadinimai
Santrauka. Straipsnyje nagrinėjami sakralinių pastatų pavadinimų vertimo principai Valerijano Otwinowskio lenkiškoje komentuotoje Ovidijaus Metamorphoses versijoje Księgi Metamorphoseon, to jest, Przemian od Publiusa Owidiusza Nasona Wierszami opisane, išleistoje 1638 m. Krokuvoje. Būtent iš šio lenkiško teksto XVIII a. pradžioje buvo padaryti pirmieji pilni Metamorfozių vertimai į rusų kalbą. Nustatyta, kad daugeliu atvejų W. Otwinowskis įvairiems lotyniškiems pagoniškų šventovių pavadinimams versti pasirinko vieną neutralų variantą ‒ leksemą kościół. Otwinowskio vertimo gretinimas su J. Žebrovskio vertimu, išleistu 1636 m., parodo, kad vertimo variantų suvienodinimas buvo sąmoningas V. Otwinowskio pasirinkimas. Atliktas tyrimas gali tapti atspirties tašku tolesniam šventovių pavadinimų traktavimo rusų vertimuose nagrinėjime.

From Tiflis to Yerevan: The Unknown Manuscript of Ekaterina Lachinova
No full textThe essay “The Road from Tiflis to Erivan. Erivan in 1839. The Monastery
of Etchmiadzin”, written in 1839 by Ekaterina Lachinova (1810–1896),
is a unique historical and literary source that reflects the social, political,
and cultural environment of the Caucasus region in the late 1830s. The
writer resided in the Caucasus between 1836 and 1840 with her husband,
General Nikolai Emilianovich Lachinov of the Separate Caucasian Corps.
Her close connections with high-ranking civil and military officials allowed
her to observe regional events and imperial policies firsthand. Lachinova
is also known by her pseudonym, “E. Khamar-Dabanov”, under which she
published the novel-pamphlet “Escapades in the Caucasus“in 1844, a kind
of chronicle of the military events of the Caucasian War.
The essay, originally written in Russian, was translated into French
by the author herself and gifted in May 1840 to the English traveler Anne
Lister (1791–1840) during her stay in Tbilisi. In 2022, this manuscript was
discovered in the British National Archives by Russian art historian Olga
Khoroshilova and translated it into Russian. It was subsequently published
in 2024 by literary scholar Valentina Malakhova in the book “Gorodishko”.
E. Lachinova’s essay has not been translated into Georgian and is
unknown to representatives of the scientific field.
The writer provides a detailed description of her journey from Tbilisi
to Erivan, depicting the natural landscape, settlements, and architectural
monuments along the way. Special attention is given to the description
of the Sardar’s Palace in Erivan, the Monastery of Etchmiadzin, and Armenia’s historical heritage in general. The author recounts the history of
Erivan Fortress, which was captured by the Russians from the Persians
in 1827, and extensively characterizes Sardar’s Palace, which at the time
housed the Russian imperial administration. Of particular note is the Mirror Hall, decorated with portraits of shahs and Persian heroes. The essay also includes an episode about Emperor Nikolai I’s visit to Erivan: Ekaterina Lachinova discovered a framed inscription embedded in the wall of the former Sardar’s Palace, protected under glass, which read: “Nikolai, October 5, 1837.” She notes that the Armenians preserved this inscription under glass, attributing great significance to it.
E. Lachinova describes her visit to Erivan’s mosques, one of which
had been converted into an arsenal, while the other remained in use. She
was unable to visit Geghard Monastery herself but recounts its description
based on local accounts.
On her journey to the Monastery of Etchmiadzin, the provincial governor
assigned her an escort of twenty Muslim horsemen. The writer provides
a detailed description of the monastery’s architecture, library, printing
house, theological seminary, refectory and cemetery. She saw portraits
of the Russian Emperor, General Golovin, Prince Paskevich, and Baron
Rosen displayed in the monastery gallery. Traveler also recounts her
meeting with the 80-year-old Catholicos and attended a religious service,
which she describes as a blend of Greek Orthodox and Catholic traditions.
The essay also mentions the memorial dedicated to Russian officers
who perished defending Etchmiadzin from the Persians in 1828. Additionally, the writer describes the region’s economy, noting cotton and rice as the principal products of Armenia’s province.
Ekaterina Lachinova’s work is an important source for studying the
history of the Caucasus in the 19th century, Russian imperial policy, and
the cultural heritage of the region’s peoples. Her text, to some extent,
contains elements of imperial propaganda – portraying Russian administration in a positive light while sometimes approaching local culture with a superficial perspective. Nevertheless, this essay occupies a significant
place not only in travel literature but also among historical sources on
the region. It not only complements other contemporary works about the
Caucasus but also highlights Ekaterina Lachinova’s keen observational
skills and literary talent
An investigation of striatal activity during delayed and effort-based learning
No full textMotivation influences human learning and outcome valuation. Depending on the context, one can interpret an outcome in a positive way or not pay attention to the action outcome at all. The striatum is one of the primary structures involved in outcome valuation and learning and of action-outcome contingencies. Striatal activity has been shown to be context-dependent and to reflect individuals’ subjective preferences. This dissertation examined striatal activity in the context of delayed and effort-based learning, as well as whether people are willing to overcome effort costs in order to benefit an unfamiliar disadvantaged person. Two functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments were conducted examining striatal activity during performance-related feedback under different time frames (Experiment 1) and following different cognitive effort requirements (Experiment 2). Behavioral Experiment 3 looked at whether individuals are willing to exert cognitive effort during learning to reduce inequity between themselves and a disadvantaged individual. Experiment 1 replicated previous findings of ventral striatal activation to immediate feedback presentation. It was also shown that when feedback is presented after a substantial delay of 25 minutes, processing of feedback switches away from the striatum to posterior parts of the basal ganglia. Experiment 2 revealed that activity of the ventral striatum associated with feedback reflects effort expenditure required to obtain it. Experiment 3 showed that unfair social context can motivate individuals to exert cognitive effort during learning. This work shows that striatal response to learning outcomes is differentially influenced by delay and effort requirements and that effort costs can motivate learning.Ph.
