Loginov is known as the foremost scholar of the ethnic history and the traditional culture of the Russian population of Karelia and of the features of its ethno-local groups. He is the author of about 185 research articles in which he applied descriptive and comparative-historical methods to the rich field material that he himself collected. Loginov’s most significant works are the five books (including one co-authored) devoted to the study of the Russian population of the north shore of Lake Onega (Zaonezhye) and territories around Lake Vodlozero (Vodlozerye). He is also the author of chapters in seven major collective scholarly works, including books about the Karelian settlements of Suisar, Yukkoguba, and Syamozero. The last work of this kind was the book The Peoples of Karelia. Historical and Ethnographic Essays. Loginov also devoted much time and effort to such scholarly activities as expeditions, presentations at conferences, popularization of ethnographic knowledge, and teaching.","PeriodicalId":426957,"journal":{"name":"Texts and History: Journal of Philological, Historical and Cultural Texts and History Studies","volume":"17 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125788379","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 record of the chant is preserved in the Latgalskoe collection (no. 39) of the Ancient Manuscripts Repository (Drevlekhranilishe) at the Institute of Russian Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Pushkinskij Dom) in St. Petersburg. The circumstances of its entry into the collection are disclosed in letters of the Baltic group of Old Believers to Vladimir Malyshev, the founder of the Drevlikhranilishe, who was searching for everything related to the memory of Archpriest Avvakum. Daniil Mikhailov, one of the most prominent Baltic Old Believers of the 20th century, a precentor, an educator and an associate of Ivan Zаvoloko, was also known as an outstanding singer, a connoisseur of the ancient Znamenny chant and a scribe of musical manuscript books written in “hooks” notation. Mikhailov composed the sticheron to Archpriest Avvakum on the text of the doxastikon from the aposticha of the 6th echos from the Service to Bishop Pavel Kolomensky. The chant of the sticheron is original, but nevertheless it is based on certain genre prototypes found in the Old Russian tradition. The article examines the sticheron in the context of the Old Belivers’ hymnographic activity in the 18th — 20th centuries. The study also takes into account the little-known illuminated copy of the Service to Bishop Pavel Kolomensky in the Chuvanov’s collection of the Library of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg (Chuvanov 177).","PeriodicalId":426957,"journal":{"name":"Texts and History: Journal of Philological, Historical and Cultural Texts and History Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126821820","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 Seven Sleepers of Ephesus depicted on the obverse and two-line Slavonic inscriptions on both sides make the Suzdal gorgoneion quite unique even for that group. The Slavonic inscriptions carved on the gorgoneion are an abridged version of the “Prayer when a sick person does not sleep” addressed to the Sleepers. The Prayer is known from the Russian Euchologia of the 15th – 16th centuries. The article argues that, save for the names of the Sleepers, the inscription on the gorgoneion has the closest relationship to the earliest copy of the Prayer found in the fourteenth-century Slavonic Serbian Euchologion in the collection of the Russian National Library (Q. p. I. 24). The reverse of the hematite gorgoneion from Przemyśl bears the image of the Mother of God surrounded by an unusual Greek hystera formula, and the obverse contains a depiction of a Gorgon’s head (hystera) that is almost identical to the one found on the Suzdal gorgoneion. Going beyond V. Zalesskaya’s suggestion that both gorgoneia were made in one Greek workshop, this article argues that the inscriptions on the two objects were carved following the same principles and that both objects can be attributed to the same master, who was likely of South Russian origin. The unique poetics of the Przemyśl Gorgoneion spell was a result of the versatility of the hystera formula, while the Slavonic Euchologia developed a stable text of the “Prayer when a sick person does not sleep”. When the hystera formula was substituted with the Prayer on the Suzdal Gorgoneion, the magic amulet was transformed into a Christian icon.","PeriodicalId":426957,"journal":{"name":"Texts and History: Journal of Philological, Historical and Cultural Texts and History Studies","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115009180","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}

Although A. N. Nasonov and A. A. Zimin brought this chronicle to the attention of scholars in the middle of the 20th century, the text remains poorly studied and unpublished. The entries are devoted to major events that occurred in 1562: the beginning of the MuscoviteLithuanian War, the departure of Ivan IV to Mozhaisk, the death of Bishop Guriy of Ryazan, the arrest of the Vorotynsky princes, the visit of Archbishop Pimen of Novgorod to Moscow, and the fire in Pskov. Of the greatest value is the Chronicle’s information about the previously unknown ”Serpukhov treason case” that took place in the summer and fall of 1562, which led to the arrest and exile of Princes Mikhail Ivanovich and Aleksandr Ivanovich Vorotynsky, the dismissal of several other military commanders (voevody) from governmental service, and the aggravation of relations between Tsar Ivan and Prince Vladimir Andreyevich Staritsky. Most likely, this selection of chronicle entries was produced by someone in Metropolitan Makarii’s entourage between the years 1563 and 1565.

There is reason to believe that this data had been worked out mainly within the bureaucratic institutions. The data was identified by analyzing the available documents, which describe the official portrait and the life path of a person. The research issue can be formulated as follows: what kind of data about the person, his or her social characteristics and life events were considered necessary by the authorities to be registered in various documents? To answer this question, it was necessary to study parish registers, passports from different time periods, service records, family lists, Soviet questionaries filled out by newly hired employees, and other documents. Since the time of Peter the Great, the following data have been gradually included in the official portrait of a person: name (first name, patronymic, family name), social estate (social standing), age, place of residence, religion (nationality), marital status, military status. In the description of the life path, it was necessary to provide information about close relatives, education, employment history, awards and penalties. Soviet questionaries always included questions about a person’s involvement with the Komsomol (Young Communist League) or the Communist Party and participation in social work. As a result, an individual’s life story presented in the official curriculum vitae consisted not of events, but of his various social statuses. The bureaucratic apparatus required information not so much of the individual himself as of his social environment. The change in the type of information required was determined by aspects of the political and social system in which the respective person existed.","PeriodicalId":426957,"journal":{"name":"Texts and History: Journal of Philological, Historical and Cultural Texts and History Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132258897","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}
