Huseyn Mukhtarov and Oleksiy Kolomiyets: reception-dialog
Get PDFУ статті провадиться порівняльний аналіз п'єс туркменського письменника Гусейна Мухтарова "Сім'я Аллана (Честь сім'ї)" (1949) й українського драматурга Олексія Коломійця "Дикий Ангел" (1978). На основі цього аналізу автор статті доводить, що після перекладу п'єси туркменського драматурга українською мовою вона стала добре відома українським читачам, письменникам і драматургам та що О. Коломієць узяв її сюжет за основу своєї п'єси. У центрі обох творів лежить гостра морально-етична проблема перетворення керівника у владного правителя, а потім і самодура, який починає вважати загальне майно своїм особистим. Така поведінка суперечить споконвічним народним уявленням про совість і честь, носіями яких є старші члени сім'ї. Саме вони виправляють помилки своїх синів, змушують їх виправити допущені помилки. Моральні устої туркменів і українців виявляються спорідненими, типологічно збіжними. П'єса О. Коломійця запозичує багато сюжетних ходів творів Г. Мухтарова, іноді до дрібних деталей. Цей прийом запозичення і трансформації чужих творів був дуже продуктивним у творчості українського драматурга. Та якщо колізії взаємин батька й сина становлять основу п'єси Г. Мухтарова, то в п'єсі О. Коломійця вони опиняються на периферії. Український драматург творчо запозичив перипетії твору туркменського автора, переніс їх на український національний ґрунт, трансформував, створивши оригінальний високохудожній текст, який став класикою української та радянської літератури, так само як п'єса Г. Мухтарова стала класикою туркменської й радянської драматургії. Обидва твори були свого часу вдостоєні Державної премії СРСР і не втратили актуальності й натепер.The article conducts a comparative analysis of the plays of the Turkmen writer Huseyn Mukhtarov “The Allan Family (Family Honor)” (1949) and the Ukrainian playwright Oleksiy Kolomiyets “The Wild Angel” (1978). Based on this analysis, the author of the article proves that after the translation of the play by the Turkmen playwright into Ukrainian, it became well known to Ukrainian readers, writers and playwrights and that O. Kolomiyets took its plot as the basis of his play. At the center of both works is the acute moral and ethical problem of turning a leader into an imperious ruler, and then a fool who begins to consider common property his personal. Such behavior is contrary to the primordial folk ideas about conscience and honor, the bearers of which are the older members of the family. It is they who correct the mistakes of their sons, force them to correct their mistakes. The moral foundations of Turkmens and Ukrainians are closely related, typologically similar. The play by O. Kolomiyets borrows many plot moves of the work of G. Mukhtarov, sometimes to small details. This method of borrowing and transforming other people’s works was very productive in the work of the Ukrainian playwright. But if the conflicts of the relationship between father and son form the basis of the play by G. Mukhtarov, then in the play of O. Kolomiyets they are on the periphery. The Ukrainian playwright creatively borrowed the vicissitudes of the work of the Turkmen author, transferred them to the Ukrainian national soil, transformed, creating an original highly artistic work that became a classic of Ukrainian and Soviet literature, just as the play of G. Mukhtarov became a classic of Turkmen and Soviet drama. Both works were once awarded the State Prize of the USSR and have not lost their relevance to this day

Oleksiy Tolochko’s Concept and the Origin of the Short Pravda Russkaia
Get PDFThe article was submitted on 29.11.2020.Источниковедческий статус Правды русской (руской) интересует широкий круг историков и юристов, а также преподавателей средних учебных заведений. В обзоре анализируется историографическая ситуация, сложившаяся вокруг изучения этого важнейшего памятника после выхода в 2009 г. монографии А. П. Толочко «Краткая редакция Правды руской: происхождение текста», в которой автор развивает мнение о вторичности Краткой редакции по сравнению с Пространной, высказывавшееся в первой половине XX в. видными лингвистами и историками (Е. Ф. Карским, С. П. Обнорским, А. И. Соболевским и др.) и позже отброшенное советской наукой. Сочетая различные методы источниковедения, автор доказывает, что краткая Правда возникла не как юридический документ в XI в., а как фрагмент новгородского летописания в начале XV столетия. В обзоре показано, что отклики специалистов на книгу А. П. Толочко сводятся к немногочисленным коротким журнальным публикациям, в каждой из которых подвергаются критике один или два отдельно взятых аргумента автора, но не предпринимается систематического рассмотрения предложенной целостной теории возникновения памятника (статьи К. Цукермана, П. В. Лукина, А. А. Горского, А. Я. Дегтярева и др.). Попытка подвести итоги этой многолетней дискуссии приводит к убеждению о ее методологической несостоятельности. Результаты анализа вырванной из контекста той или иной статьи Правды оказывается возможным интерпретировать в противоположных смыслах в зависимости от выбора источниковедческих параметров, которым данный автор отдает предпочтение в данный момент. Учитывая структурообразующий характер Правды русской для истории Древней Руси, автор обзора делает вывод о необходимости предпринять усилия (которые, вероятно, должны быть коллективными) для системного анализа гипотезы А. П. Толочко, причем предлагается поместить традиционное изолированное изучение этого важнейшего юридического памятника в более широкие рамки всестороннего исследования сборников, в составе которых сохранились Краткая и Пространная редакции.A wide circle of historians, lawyers, and secondary school teachers are interested in the Pravda Russkaia. This review analyses the historiographical situation around the study of this important artefact after the publication of The Short Pravda: The Origin of the Text (2009) by Oleksiy Tolochko, in which the author develops the opinion that the Short Pravda appeared later than the Expanded Pravda, which was expressed by prominent linguists and historians (E. F. Karskii, S. P. Obnorskii, A. I. Sobolevskii, etc.) in the first half of the twentieth century but later discarded by Soviet scholarship. By combining various methods from source studies, the author proves that the Short Pravda did not originate as a legal document in the eleventh century, but as a fragment of The Chronicle of Novgorod in the early fifteenth century. The review shows that specialists’ responses to Tolochko’s book are limited to a few journal publications, each of which criticises one or two of separate arguments but does not systematically consider the proposed holistic theory of the artefact’s origin (articles by K. Zukerman, P. V. Lukin, A. A. Gorskii, A. Y. Degtyarev, etc.). Any attempt at summarising the results of the controversy leads to the belief that the discussion is methodologically unsound. The analysis of an article from the Pravda that is taken out of context can lead to opposing interpretations depending on the choice of the parameters preferred by a given author at a given time. Considering the fundamental nature of the Pravda Russkaia for the history of medieval Russia, the reviewer concludes that it is necessary to make an effort (probably a collective effort) towards a systematic analysis of Tolochko’s hypothesis: the traditional isolated study of this most important legal document should be placed within the broader framework of a comprehensive study of the collections in which the short and expanded versions of the Pravda have been preserved
Defining, Measuring, and Benchmarking Administrative Expenditures of Mandatory Social Security Programs
No full textThis study provides a framework for
comparison and benchmarking of administrative expenditures
of public and private social security programs. The paper
presents the genesis of the inquiries into the subject,
reviewing some of the most relevant literature on
administrative expenditures and the costs of mandatory
programs produced over the past two decades. The
quantitative analysis builds on the extensive body of
literature, but our framework evolved considerably from
earlier studies. Our dataset includes over 100 observations
and a broad set of explanatory variables. The authors
developed and compared a number of standardized cost indices
discussing their advantages and limitations. The author also
discusses major cost components and their shares in total
program costs. The analysis explains over 90 percent of
variation in administrative expenditures. It confirms some
of the hypotheses expressed in the earlier studies and
presents new evidence of driving factors for costs. The
author developed three different specifications for
statistical analysis. The first set looks at the impact of
design of a program on total costs. The second group of
specifications assesses differences in costs of managing
pension liabilities between the public and private mandatory
pension schemes. Finally, on the basis of the third model
the author generate benchmarks for staffing levels and for
the total administrative expenditures. The author compares
those to the actual indicators and develops standard
performance ratios, providing insights into design
variations and performance of the programs. The author
concludes with a discussion of data limitations and
implications of our findings
Psychological causes of collaborationism in Ukraine
No full textThe article is devoted to the study of the psychological causes of collaborationism in Ukraine as a result of the occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine by Russia. The author identifies the determinants that influenced the formation of the collaborator’s personality. The article illustrates statistical data on the prevalence of this criminal offense in Ukraine since the amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding the criminalization of collaborationism. At the same time, the author analyzes the reasons and conditions that determine the existence of the phenomenon of collaborationism in Ukraine, identifying their ideological, political, educational, cultural, and economic basis. In particular, regarding the reasons, it is noted that they are generated by a long-term targeted ideological and propaganda influence on the citizens of Ukraine since Soviet times, which included cultural, educational, linguistic, ethnic, historical, religious, economic and other components. The author also analyzes the actions of the occupiers after the occupation of new territories in Ukraine, in particular, he notes the total dismantling of any mention of Ukraine (the detention of patriot activists, the destruction of monuments, the renaming of streets, the ban on the Ukrainian language, educational propaganda). It is worth noting that the vast majority of collaborators (almost 70% of identified individuals) committed a criminal offense under Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine at the age of 40 or older. In fact, it can be argued that the Soviet ideology, which still had an inertial influence in the first decade of independent Ukraine, had a significant impact on the formation of the offender’s personality. The author also emphasizes that occupation is a stressful, extreme situation for any person, which also needs to be taken into account when assessing collaborative activities
