Another Biography of the First Russian Tsar
No full textIn 2018, a new book by a famous historian D. M. Volodikhin dedicated to the first Russian Tsar — “Ivan IV the Terrible: Orphan Tsar” was published in the series “Life of Outstanding People”. Unfortunately, the work contains a range of inaccuracies, some of the author’s suggestions are not substantiated, a sequence of events is distorted. Thus, for example, the author dates all the fires in Moscow in 1547 by the same month — April; mixes up military activities of the initial period of Livonian War; states that Moscow Mutiny took place before the coronation of Ivan IV. Similarly, the historian’s conclusions on the voluntary taking the veil by the Grand Princess Solomonia Saburova, on striving for the throne by some Russian noblemen, on diplomatic activity of Ivan the Terrible seem to be unconvincing. That said, the book by D. M. Volodikhin includes some interesting and proper observations and conclusions. However, the impression is significantly marred by persistent references to “orphanage” and “artistry”. Such embellishments are appropriate in fiction, but not in a historical biography. Also, it’s hard to escape the impression that the book was prepared in haste, which resulted in inaccuracies that can’t benefit an academic research. Such mistakes could have easily been avoided by addressing primary sources. At the same time, we believe that this book by D. M. Volodikhin will find its audience who, having familiarized themselves with it, would like to go deeper into the subject and turn to other studies dedicated to a very interesting period of the reign of the first Russian Tsar
ВИДИ НАРОДНОЇ ТОПОНІМІКИ ХАРКОВА
No full textActuality: The origin and meaning of toponyms was always interested by many people. In return, a lot of names disappear from city maps and historical memory. But the existing and disappeared toponyms reveal the important topics for local history as the foundation and the settlement of the region, the mentality of local population (the attitude to original urbanonyms, wittiness etc.). The proclamation of independence of Ukraine and an attempt of some political groups to change street names, squares etc., the Ukrainian residential areas have to refer to the historical past and the expediency of return of some local names of the street-road system. Therefore, the aim of this article is the identification of the types of folk toponyms of Kharkov, to illuminate the technique of its nomination. At the beginning the author considers it is necessary to give a definition of the term "folk toponymy" for a better understanding of the context of the article. Under this term the author defines the city's names, which are used by ordinary citizens to determine the specific location of the object on the terrain. Unlike official toponyms folk ones are not fixed in urban registers of the street-road system. Folk toponyms can be divided into two categories: those which became official names, and those which remained folk. A part of the folk names later became the name of the street-road system. For example, Sumska Street, Belgorodska Street (now Shevchenko Street), Zmiivska Street (now Prospekt Gagarina), Moskovska Street (now eponymous Avenue), Poltavskii Shlyah, Saltivske Shose, etc. At the beginning of the establishment of Kharkiv, they were the roads that led from the fortress to certain settlements. For toponyms which remained "unofficial", have to determine the names of the villages as Panasivka, Ivanivka, Zhyravlivka, HTZ district, Zhykovskogo, etc. They are considered to be the nomination of small living areas, which at various times became the part of Kharkiv, or residential areas that appeared in the city in the 19-20th century. Although these urbanonyms are not official, but they are widely used and preserved in the names of streets and alleys. Of course, for more than 360 years of Kharkiv, the part of toponyms disappeared. Therefore, folk toponyms can be divided into missing, endangered and existing. Among the missing nominations of toponyms "city" Zakharkivska, Zalopanska and Zanetechinska should be mentioned. Nowadays we can still notice the disappearance of some folk urbanonyms. Among the recently disappeared names such as "Brehalovka", "Kulemet", "Pyatero viyshli iz lombardy" should be mentioned. Among the endangered urbanonyms, the names of the houses such as Budinok Slova, Chervonoi Profesyru, Novij Pobyt, etc should be highlighted. The existing urbanonyms should be devided into those that will exist permanently, and such that might disappear. For the first category: Saburova dacha, Blagbaz, Pavlovo Pole, Shatilivka should be included. The threat of the disappearance of any folk name can be associated with a change of an official toponym. I would also like to highlight "dubious" folk toponyms: "a fountain", "on the stairs", "a shop", "a cinema", "at the monument", etc. Conclusion: Thus, folk toponymy of Kharkiv presents a large number of names. These names exist close to the official ones, influencing each other. At the same time, folk names are used for precision of the placement of certain objects, if it is difficult to explain with the help of the official urbanonymy. The most part of them is stable and cannot disappear, because deeply embedded in the historical memory of the city. The part of urbanonyms disappeared and the same tendency exists because not all of them stand the test of time. In a further study I have to find out how the folk toponymy is connected with the local and Ukrainian history
Global and regional burden of first-ever ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke during 1990-2010 : findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010
No full textFunding: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.Background: The burden of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke varies between regions and over time. With differences in prognosis, prevalence of risk factors, and treatment strategies, knowledge of stroke pathological type is important for targeted region-specific health-care planning for stroke and could inform priorities for type-specific prevention strategies. We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010) to estimate the global and regional burden of first-ever ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke during 1990-2010.Peer reviewe
