Colossal geopolitical changes in the international arena are forcing the world community to look more seriously and from a different angle at the aspects of this complex issue, which threatens a humanitarian catastrophe in the conditions of current high-tech ruthless war. The purpose of the study is to make an analytical review of Soviet, Russian, regional and foreign historiography of the problem related to the legal and material situation of war prisoners during the First World War, which makes it possible to conclude about the degree of knowledge covering the problem in general and the issue of downbedding and using war prisoners during the First World War in the territory of Chuvashia in particular. Materials and methods. The aspects of the issue are investigated on the basis of the method of analyzing scientific publications of domestic and foreign historiography, information materials of the thematic collection of documents of the State Historical Archive of the Chuvash Republic dated 2014. The historical science contains the historiographical analysis of the experience in studying this topic in Russia and abroad which made it possible to clarify the chronological and geographical framework of the problem of war prisoners during the World War. A comprehensive historiographical assessment helped to establish the level of knowledge of the topic, which affects formulation of tasks, and also highlights those aspects of the issue under study that need additional study. The historical method, which refers to the methods of the theoretical level, made it possible to study the emergence and development of the object of research – the problems of war prisoners – in chronological sequence both abroad and in Russia, and at different stages of its historical development in particular and in a regional context. The general scientific method of generalization enabled us to express the main results in the general position, to draw conclusions on the problem we are studying.

Currently, the problem of its preservation, study, and use as a tourist object is urgent. The article examines the key problems in this area; it pays attention to the formation of legislation regulating preservation of cultural objects, as well as their importance in forming youth patriotism. The purpose of the research is to study the role of a traditional settlement and housing complex in ethnic culture, the place of rural settlements in preserving national languages and traditions of peoples, development of domestic tourism in the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. The research used the methods of historical science: comparative-historical, problem-chronological, historical-genetic ones. From the traditional methods of ethnography, the methods of field observation and survey were used. Also, general scientific methods were used in the framework of the study: the descriptive-narrative one, analysis, generalization ones. The article is based on regulatory and legal sources, materials of Internet publications, the results of the All-Russian Population censuses, information collected by the authors during field expedition ethnographic surveys. Results. The role of a settlement and housing complex in ethnic culture was studied, its tourist potential was determined. The problem of preserving traditional settlements, dwellings and outbuildings is currently relevant for many peoples, in connection with which a number of state programs and support measures have been developed to address this issue. A settlement and housing complex is of great interest not only to researchers, but also to tourists, so its inclusion in their routes has become an effective way to attract public attention to preserving traditional buildings. The practice of constructing ethnoparks, ethno-villages, ethnographic museums in the open air with a complex of housing structures and outbuildings has become very relevant at present time. No doubt that their creation requires extensive involvement of accumulated ethnographic materials. Ethnic culture and national languages are mostly preserved in rural areas, which largely determines the need to develop serious support measures by the state in the field of protecting villages with a view to their further large-scale functioning in our country. Conclusions. The use of various sources made it possible to achieve the goal of the study. Preserving the traditional settlement and housing complex of villages is extremely significant, since it is in them that the languages and traditions of peoples are still transmitted from generation to generation, ethnic characteristics are reproduced.

The relevance of the author’s current appeal to this topic is primarily due to the special military operation conducted in the Ukraine. The military history of the state, without any doubt, is of interest to those who are concerned about both the current military-political situation in the world and around our country these days. How was this holiday celebrated in the past? What were the festive events in the Russian regions? \u0000 \u0000The purpose of this article is to continue studying the early history of the modern Defender of the Homeland Day on the materials of Simbirsk governorate. \u0000 \u0000Materials and methods. The author uses problem-analytical and chronological research methods, the source base of the work is Simbirsk newspapers dated 1923, as well as memories of the events participants. \u0000 \u0000Study results. The author points out that the Red Army Day in 1923 for the first time became a truly national holiday. Solemn meetings, concerts and other festive events organized by state bodies and public organizations took place throughout the country. The most organized and mass celebration took place in the major cities of the country, which undoubtedly included the capitals of the Union republics. The event under study was widely celebrated in the regional centers of the country. The provincial Middle Volga Simbirsk did not stay away from the national line either. So, a report on the Red Army was planned even in Simbirsk correctional house for prisoners. \u0000 \u0000Conclusions. In 1923, a mandatory attribute of the Red Army Birthday holiday in Russia was holding solemn meetings and meetings of governing bodies and workers at enterprises. At the same time, the practice of holding meetings- performances continued in the cities. Perhaps only the evenings of memories that were associated with the end of the Civil War became new.","PeriodicalId":212815,"journal":{"name":"Historical Search","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124783894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polyethnicity of the Russian Federation is determined in the interaction of ethnic communities. One of the most striking examples of a multiethnic subject of the Russian Federation is the Republic of Mordovia. Mordovia is a prosperous ethnopolitical region of Russia, where peoples live “in peace and harmony”. \u0000 \u0000The purpose of the article is a comprehensive examination of the prerequisites for the appearance of representatives belonging to various nationalities in the Mordovian Region, as well as factors that influenced polyethnicity formation in the region as part of the territories that later became part of the Republic of Mordovia. \u0000 \u0000Materials and methods. When writing the scientific publication, scientific and research literature was used, with the help of which it was possible to establish the historical prerequisites for polyethnicity of the Mordovian region. Thanks to the use of the regional studies method, a historical and ethnographic analysis was carried out, which gave the opportunity to identify historical aspects that influenced the formation of the region in line with ethnic diversity. \u0000 \u0000Study results. The polyethnicity in the region began to take shape with the beginning of constructing recorded observation lines from the end of the XVI – the first half of the XVII century, as it follows from historical sources, where it was possible to meet foreigners among the service people. In the Mordovian Region in the specified period, the names of settlements indicate the multinational nature of the peoples living there, for example, the Lithuanians lived in the village of Litva in Krasnoslobodsky district, or another example of a settlement with a foreign population is the village of Lopatino with the Ukrainians located in Lyambirsky district. \u0000 \u0000Conclusions. In historical retrospect, polyethnicity of Mordovia developed over a long period and was accompanied by historical events taking place both in Russia and around the world. The official origins of polyethnicity formation can be attributed to 1897, when a population census was conducted for the first time, according to the results of which people of various nationalities lived in the territories included in the Mordovian Region. By 2010 Mordovia was formed as a multiethnic subject of Russia, which is clearly demonstrated by the official statistical population censuses.","PeriodicalId":212815,"journal":{"name":"Historical Search","volume":"268 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124348195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relevance of the study is due to several aspects: 1) an innovative postmodern approach to the analysis of traditional problems in historical science is used; 2) shared memory is the central link in an identity formation in national societies and the basis for consolidation of the people, which implies the need to study the mechanisms necessary for its actualization. \u0000 \u0000The purpose of the study is a methodological analysis of one of the central concepts in the memorial direction in modern historical science, “memory spaces / lieux de memoire” as a special mechanism to form the historical memory of a society. \u0000 \u0000Materials and methods. The research materials are based on the experience of scientific analysis of memory spaces as a special mechanism for perpetuating the history in the descendants’ public consciousness. The methodological basis of the research is a set of general scientific and special historical methods, as well as the principles of objectivity, historicism and consistency. \u0000 \u0000Study results. Memory spaces represent a unique socio-cultural phenomenon, which is studied by scientists from various fields of humanities within the framework of an interdisciplinary approach. The founder of research in this direction is P. Nora, who first introduced the concept of “lieux de memoire” into scientific circulation in the early 80s of the XX century. To date, no generally accepted terminology has been developed in understanding the nature and essence of the concept “memory spaces”. In this article, they are interpreted as the most important mechanism for preserving the historical memory of a society, used both at the state and public levels. \u0000 \u0000Conclusions. Generalization of foreign experience in the analysis of the phenomenon of “lieux de memoire”, as well as the study of their forms and classification will make it possible in the future to use the obtained material applicable to the most important task of preserving and updating memory spaces of national and regional significance. The analysis of scientific concepts about the nature and the essence of “memory spaces” gives us the opportunity to conclude that they can be any objects of general historical and cultural heritage that preserve the memory about important historical events, provided that they are purposefully given elements of sacralization and a special ritual of veneration.","PeriodicalId":212815,"journal":{"name":"Historical Search","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126690544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials from the State Archive of Modern History of the Chuvash Republic and publications of the republican periodical press were used, which served as a source base for analyzing the issues of interaction and coordination in implementing the decisions of the center, regional authorities and public organizations related to emerging problems in interethnic contacts among the working population. \u0000 \u0000Study results. The policy pursued by the state in the field of national relations affected all spheres of social development, it was in a special way in the manufacturing sector, which plays a system-forming role for establishing a new type of society. In the national autonomies, there was a weak level of the population’s involvement in industrial production due to the absence of large factories in these territories. To solve this problem, additional training programs for working specialties were actively developed and used. To a large extent, new approaches to involving national enclaves in establishing a new society were largely associated with greater conservatism, and everything new was perceived as alien. \u0000 \u0000From 1929 to 1936 the Chuvash ASSR was part of Nizhny Novgorod Region (after 1932 – Gorky Region), initially indigenous peoples lived in the region – the Russians, the Chuvash, the Mari, the Mordovians, the Tatars and other ethnic groups.

To consider the experience of the first in the Russian science of universal history invoking the topic of the Islamic world formation in Arabia at the beginning of the VII century. \u0000 \u0000The article presents the results of studying the classic problem for historical science – the role of personality in history. In our case, the Prophet Muhammad acts as such a character in the context of the “prophet – hero”, as he is considered by some European historians in the middle of the XIX century (T. Carlyle, V. Irving). In contrast, in European orientalism, another opinion is formed about the historical role of the Prophet Muhammad. Its essence lies in complete denial of recognizing for this character any significant role in world history. At best, he is recognized for the merit of creating the Arab state built on new Islamic foundations (A. Sprenger). The purpose of our study is to determine the extent of scientific independence in assessment carried out by the domestic researcher M.N. Petrov, given by him to the Prophet Muhammad. This assessment was made by the author in the book “Essays from Universal History”, published in 1868, i.e. much later than the mentioned studies of European authors. It is obvious to us that M.N. Petrov, relying, of course, on European orientalism, managed to make a number of completely independent conclusions, most importantly, for the first time to include the character of Muhammad in a number of historical personalities in the Russian science of universal history. This is perhaps the obvious result of our research. \u0000 \u0000Materials and methods. The peculiarity in the topic of Islam history for the Russian science of universal history at the beginning of the second half of the XIX century is almost complete absence of domestic developments. This explains why the Russian authors studied actively the experience of European orientalism in the first half – middle of the XIX century, which already had a number of first-class works. In compliance with this, the article actively uses the works of Bokle, Sprenger, Carlyle, etc. as “attracted” material. The research methods are descriptive, comparative-historiographical and biographical ones. \u0000 \u0000In his “Essay …” M.N. Petrov refers to the experience of European orientalism, mainly to the work of the German historian Sprenger “The Life and Teachings of Muhammad”. But in the “Essay …” the works of other European historians are also mentioned: Renan, Saint-Hilaire, Weyl and others. At the same time, M.N.

To determine the methodological foundations of selected cognitive models, the principles of neo-positivism, narrative philosophy, methods of discursive analysis of texts, including such features of the language of cinema as imagery and pronounced symbolism, as well as the provisions of phenomenological epistemology, were used. In their unity, these cognitive theories of culture allowed the author of the article to present a verified version of the results obtained by analyzing interpretations of the creative intent of film directors found in the scientific literature. \u0000 \u0000Study results. In the first part of the article, the main debatable aspects of the problem are considered in line with modern scientific trends, convincing of the relevance of the research undertaken. In its second part, the analysis of existing research practices in this field of knowledge is presented, the algorithms for reading historical information in feature films characteristic of each variant are identified and disclosed. \u0000 \u0000Conclusions. The final part of the article contains as results the definition for each of the identified research models, conventionally called “descriptive-informational”, “imagological”, “source studies” and “memorial”. The classification is based on the criterion of goal-setting and the scientific apparatus associated with it – the methodological approach, methods, the object and the subject of research. The author of the article gives assessment of their importance in the interdisciplinary paradigm of scientific historical creativity, thereby determining possible prospects for the development of historians’ research practice in the field of cognition of the past based on cinematography works. It seems obvious that the practical significance of observations proposed by the article’s author about the possibilities of solving the problem posed by not only active, but also critically meaningful inclusion of the cinematic discourse of history in the sphere of research practice and in the construction of educational space.","PeriodicalId":212815,"journal":{"name":"Historical Search","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131755259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
