Varvara Stepanova: Incomplete Design History Podcast
No full textVarvara Stepanova was a leader of the constructivist movement and co-author of the constructivist manifesto. Described as “a frenzied artist,” she designed books, magazines, posters, advertisements, as well as textiles, clothing, and costumes. On top of that, she was an author and poet. Her design style and aesthetic was avant garde, modern, and often characterized by simplicity and geometric forms and patterns, but Varvara was never content with stasis. She constantly evolved her style and worked to develop new concepts and ideas. As a co-founder of the Constructivist movement, her work typifies the aesthetic and philosophies of Constructivism. While Varavara worked on many of her own projects, she also did many together with her husband, Alexander Rodchenko, another well-known Constructivist designer. Her work often gets linked to Rodchenko’s, and it’s Rodchenko who gets mentioned in histories of graphic design and credit for designs that should be attributed to Stepanova as well. At a time when women were largely still expected to be no more than wives and mothers, Stepanova was a woman who made an unmistakable mark on art and design.NoUniversity of Central Oklahoma.

Cross-border Tourism in the Russian Northwest: General Trends and Features of Development
Get PDFAs a result of the socioeconomic transformations in the Russian Federation, the openness of border regions under the influence of integration process taking place in the world community facilitates tourist mobility between neighbouring countries. The author describes an approach that considers the border regions of Northwest Russia as attractive destinations for tourists from neighbouring countries. The development of cross-border tourism as a specific form characteristic of only border regions is one of key areas of tourism development in these regions. An assessment of the prospects of developing cross-border tourism in the border regions of Russian Northwest becomes a relevant research objective. The author identifies the specific features and general trends in the development of cross-border tourism in the Russian regions in question. It is proven that Russian border regions are less competitive than the territories of neighbouring states in terms of the development of crossborder tourism. The author also points out to the avenues of stimulating cross-border tourism development in Russian border regions
Art return rates from old master paintings to contemporary art
Get PDFWe study return rates on art investment using a complete dataset on repeated sales for Old Master
Paintings, Modern art and Contemporary art auctioned worldwide at Christie's and Sotheby's from
2000 to 2018. We show that return rates do not depend systematically on past prices or the place of
sale, but we emphasize substantial differences in returns across sectors. We also control for changes in
transaction costs (buyers' premiums and artists' resale rights), characteristics of the sale (evening sales,
price guarantees and past bought-ins) and news on the lots (changed attributions, public exhibitions or
death of the author) that appear reflected in art returns. We confirm the absence of masterpiece effects
in American, Chinese and Ethnic art. Finally, using historical data on prices during Renaissance,
Baroque and Neoclassical periods, we find evidence that price changes are independent from initial
prices also in the long run

Taxonomic composition of zooplankton and frequency of occurrence of the taxa (% of samples) in the small river of the industrial zone of Volga region
No full textThe presented species list of zooplankton is a summary of long-term observations that took place on the small river Stepnoy Zai, situated in the industrial zone of the Middle Volga region of Russia. The sampling took place in May, July, and September yearly from 2008 to 2019 from 4 sampling stations along the river Stepnoy Zai. The sampling stations were situated upstream and downstream of municipal wastewater discharges of the four cities located in the upper (Bugulma, Leninogorsk), middle (Almetievsk), and lower (Zainsk) reaches of the river. Sampling was performed using Apstein Net from the upper water horizons. Samples were concentrated to 100 ml, and fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution
