It is well-known about the Russian Old believers Popovtsy (Lipovans) in Romania. At the same time, there are no reliable information about Priestless Filippians (bespopovtsy) in this country. The aim of this article is on the base of Filippians’ sources and Romanian historical and local history investigations to put new data about the existence of the Priestless Filippians monastery in Northern Dobrudja in the second half of the 19th century. The study based on comparative, descriptive, interpretative and other research methods.
Several Filippians’ manuscripts mention the previously unknown Kitelesht monastery (hermitage), located “beyond the Danube”. The data, presented in Filippians’ documents and Romanian studies and reference books, allow us to identify the “Kitelesht hermitage” with the small Russian Priestless monastery in Tichilești on the right bank of the Danube in Tulcea County (județ). At the moment, we have information about 12 inhabitants of this monastery, who lived there at different times, apparently from the mid-1850s to the end (or at least until the middle) of the 1870s. At the beginning of the 20th century the monastery in Tichilești ceased to exist, and some years later in this place a leper colony was founded.
The article is devoted to confession as the primary form of autobiography. The author connects the experiences of self-understanding of the ancient Russian man with the sacrament of repentance, rooted in Russia along with Christianization. Attempts at self-determination of a person are considered on the basis of three texts of “Spiritual Literacy and Confession” by Hegumen of the Joseph-Volokolamsk Monastery Euphemia Turkova, “Tales of the Life of Martyri Zelenetsky”, “Life of the Protopop Avvakum”. As the study shows, confession is almost always determined not only by the need or necessity of repentance before God, but also by attempts to comprehend one’s own life, creating a “history of one’s subjectivity”, which includes various forms of “confessing oneself”. The confessionality of Russian authors includes attempts at reflection, elements of introspection and autobiography, prayer, edification, preaching of religious morality, etc. Through the introduction of Christianity to a man of Ancient Russia, the secret of his own personality began to be revealed.
Vladimir Sharov (1952–2018), a distinguished contemporary Russian writer, published nine quasi historical novels. Each of his novels suggests a different semi-fantastical version of Russian history that is locked into continuing cycles or - to use Sharov’s preferred word - “rehearsals” of violence. Theater and performance are a recurring theme in Sharov’s prose.
In Before and During [До и во время], one of the main characters is Alexander Scriabin. In The Rehearsals [Репетиции] Patriarch Nikon orders a play – a mystery-play about Easter — in which the amateur peasant actors are assigned roles from the Bible and replay these roles for generations. In Should Not I Spare [Мне ли не пожалеть], the opening section shows characters participating in Chekhov’s plays, and the main part of the narration tells the story of staging an oratorio. In the last two novels, several of the protagonists are theater directors. This article argues that for Sharov, theater is an apt metaphor for history and a basic ontological principle, because theater is an experience that can be documented but is never reproduced in exactly the same form. The article examines how Sharov brings out the power of the playwright, director, and actor to implement multiple and different scripts and life stories. Life and art in his works imitate each other through a constant multiplication of versions or rehearsals - “rehearsals” in its expanded sense as reinterpretations, revisions, rewritings, and continuations.
In the article, the work of Vladimir Kantor is considered in the perspective of magical realism. Particular attention is paid to the coexistence of different layers and dimensions in one space. According to the magical-realistic perception of the world, its image in Kantor's work is fully realistic, but not restricted by matter or the principles of physics. The apparitions affect the fate of the main character and his family. He tries to understand their nature and role, and also undertakes a fight with them. The categories of time and space, and above all the narrative situation of the story also correspond to the fundamental features of texts classified as magical realism.
This article attempts to look at the early novelistic work of Pelevin through the prism of Carl Gustav Jung's analytical psychology. Such a view is justified by the intra-textual signals contained by the writer in his works - as shown on the example of the novel Chapayev and Void (1996). Extending the scope of research to other works by Pelevin - from Omon Ra (1992) to Empire V (2006) with a special focus on Generation P (1999) – made it possible to show the psychological thematic core of the writer's work, i.e. the process of individuation, also central to Jung's thought.
The work of Dina Rubina Высокая вода венецианцев (Vysokaya voda venetsiantsev 1999) stands out among other texts of Venetian themes thanks to more detailed descriptions of the soundscape of the city. The article aims to analyze the Venetian phonosphere in the work of Rubina, using the potential of sensory literary geography, as well as soundstudies. In the course of the analysis of individual descriptions of sounds, it turns out that the reason for distinguishing the sound elements in the image of the city was, first of all, the musical education of the author. It is also explained that the image of Venice, including its phonosphere, is shown in the text through the prism of the literary tradition, according to which Venice is portrayed as the “city of death”, “the dying city”, “the city of the dying”.
В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные со становлением терминографической критики как самостоятельного раздела терминографии. Метаязык терминографической критики не имеет четких границ. Приходим к выводу, что терминологические параллели в синхронически сравниваемых славянских метаязыках этого направления являются формально тождественными, с абсолютно совпадающими семантическими структурами. Удалось установить, что по форме в большей степени совпадают украинские и белорусские метаединицы, в меньшей – русские и польские термины. В метаязыке изучаемой славянской критики преобладают иноязычные единицы. Метаязык украинской критики богат синонимами, для него характерна единичная внутриязыковая омонимия. Самобытность украинского метаязыка, в отличие от языков русского и белорусского, проявляется в стремлении сохранить традиции национального терминообразования и адаптировать заимствованные единицы.
The article is devoted to a contrastive analysis of lexical (dictionary) meanings of the Polish lexeme przejść and its Russian equivalents пройти and перейти. The analysis also provides verification of its findings with the register of the three major Polish-Russian dictionaries. The purpose of the analysis is to establish a correct sequence of meanings of the Polish lexeme along with appropriate translation counterparts and suggest how to create a system-readable and pragmatically useful structure of dictionary entries for all the three lexemes.
The article presents the analysis of etiquette formulas (forms of address, greetings and farewells) used between teachers of Russian as a foreign language and students studying Russian outside Russia. The survey was conducted among100 teachers of Russian as a foreign language from 30 countries. The authors also analyze examples of the use of speech etiquette in parallel corpora and validate the pragmatics against a number of well-established dictionaries of the Russian language. The authors conclude that during speech acts, different linguistic pictures of the world and the norms of language politeness of teachers and students influence each other. The authors observed the culturally conditioned lacunarity of the forms of address and cases of substitution of speech etiquette. The obtained results of the study can be explained by the dynamic development of Russian speech etiquette and the lack of stable norms that can be offered to students in the teaching process.
The article deals with auto-translations in the Ukrainian-Russian mixed speech in Ukraine (the so-called surzhyk). The author discusses the nature of self-translations, the reasons for their appearance and the way the socio-demographic parameters of respondents influence them. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were conducted on the basis of corpora collected in the central region of Ukraine.
