This paper presents the results of a comprehensive linguo-cognitive and sociopsychological experimental study by a team of linguists from Ural Federal University, which aims to determine students’ value coordinates. In the first stage, based on the original procedure for revealing the key concepts of Russian mentality, the authors constructed a list of 59 nationwide core values and presented them to 633 first-year students at Ural Federal University. As a result of further content interpretation of the material, the researchers discovered that the generation of young people born in post-Soviet Russia is becoming a bearer of new values. The lack of interest in political institutions, the formation of self-mentalism, and micro-solidarity within the narrow circle of family and close people – these value preferences outlined a core of eight basic concepts, having an abstract nature, which required concretisation. At the next stage, the authors presented a questionnaire including a detailed semantic structure of nuclear concepts to first-year students (650 respondents) to determine the nuclear and peripheral conceptual meanings in students’ language consciousness. The cluster analysis of the material demonstrated that the top level of the dendrogram is occupied by the concept of the well-being of loved ones. The paper reveals the complex semantics of the “well-being” concept and shows the axiological dynamics in comprehending the axiologeme. According to historical and Church Slavonic lexicographic sources, the “well-being” linguistic unit has implicitly combined the values of the material, physical, ideal, and spiritual since the eleventh century. Twentieth-century dictionaries confirm the presence of two zones in the semantics of the concept, i. e. the inseparable unity of the spiritual and the material. Students express their choice in favour of the spiritual side of well-being. The article shows that on the upper levels of the dendrogram, there are four basic values in a complex: the concepts of family, self-realisation, faith, and happiness. Also, the authors confirm the status of the self-realisation value sense for young people at the student level, which is directly related to the family and its well-being. As for the cognitive attributes of the faith concept, the students preferred the selfrealisation value sense, which suggests that the respondents have faith in their abilities and capabilities, positive self-esteem, and trust in themselves. Values related to material well-being are on the periphery of the linguistic consciousness of Ural youth, which does not fit in the general picture of the observed pragmatic attitude of young people to modern reality. It has been suggested that the current picture of the hierarchy of value attributes is declarative: young people who have recently left school have a clear idea of the necessary norms of social behaviour establ","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43203431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Khoruzhenko","doi":"10.15826/qr.2023.1.791","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15826/qr.2023.1.791","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines The Tale of the Mammoth and the Glacier Man, an unfinished novel by P. L. Dravert. The text is analysed from the point of view of prehistoric fiction and science fiction, as well as from the point of view of the reflection of constants basic for the “Siberian text” of Russian literature. The “Siberian text” was first put forward by V. I. Tyupa. In Russian culture, Siberia is connected with several ideas. It is a place for exiles, a place of death and resurrection, a utopian paradise, and a territory where mammoths lived. Dravert’s work contains all these characteristics. At the turn of the twentieth century, in Russian literature, there appear several texts about ancient mammoth hunters. It was possible due to the development of paleontology as a science. Dravert’s texts stand out from the texts on the same topic. The writer does not show the world of the past to the reader but brings the ancient man to early twentieth-century Siberia. With the help of comparative analysis, the author identifies typical features of the paleo-fiction of Russian modernism (the figure of a mammoth, the topos of a fire, non-localisation in time), as well as the innovations introduced by Dravert. The novel considers not only the Russian traditions of depicting Siberia but also the tradition of Jules Verne. The very figure of the mammoth, extremely significant for modernism, also goes back to the “Siberian” and “Permian” texts (traditions common in Siberia). The author concludes that the text reproduces the unfinished novel of the constants characteristic of the “Siberian text” when their function changes: all established clichés begin to serve as an adventure plot in the spirit of Jules Verne.","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46883336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"“Cholera Morbus” in Moscow as a Literary Situation","authors":"S. Ermolenko","doi":"10.15826/qr.2023.1.774","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15826/qr.2023.1.774","url":null,"abstract":"This article considers the cholera epidemic (cholera morbus), which first shook Russia in the early 1830s, and more precisely, the time when cholera reached Moscow (summer and autumn of 1830). The article draws on numerous pieces of documentary evidence from those years and later. The cultural and historical approach to studying them makes it possible to present a “bitterly deplorable picture of the dying humanity” and assess the degree of fear and depression in people in the face of the “Indian infection” previously unknown to medicine. The article interprets “cholera morbus” as a fact that is tragically significant not only for Russian public life but also as a literary situation in which a human being faces death. Using the biographical method, the author studies the literary situation referring to the creative behaviour of two authors, A. A. Orlov, and M. Yu. Lermontov. Orlov entered the history of Russian literature as a “grassroots writer” (A. I. Reitblat) known as the author of parody arrangements of the “Vyzhigin” novels by F. V. Bulgarin. However, Orlov also wrote the “Moscow story” known as The Meeting of Plague with Cholera, or The Sudden Destruction of all Human Intentions (1830), which, due to the established literary reputation of the author, does not attract researchers’ attention. The article notes that by parodying the genre form of a vision traditionally designed for the mass reader, Orlov fills it with cutting-edge content and even sends a civic message encouraging readers and instilling faith in God and the Sovereign. Staying in Moscow for the entire epidemic, M. Yu. Lermontov would for the first time get real experience of facing death, which would be reflected in his work. Analysing the poems of different genres (Plague in Saratov, Plague (Excerpt), Grave of a Fighter, Death – Sunset Burns with a Fiery Streak…) created in 1830 during the cholera epidemic (as evidenced by the marks in the autograph), the author of the article concludes that cholera morbus was perceived by the young poet, unlike the creator of the “Moscow story”, not in a particular historical aspect but in philosophical terms. The experience of death, aggravated by the “picture of the dying humanity”, contributed to Lermontov’s comprehension of the eternal antinomy of being in its dialectical unity. Death and life, death and immortality would become a cross-cutting theme in Lermontov’s work giving it philosophical depth and timeless content.","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44503470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smith and a well-known Russian researcher of the literature and culture of Russia abroad M. V. Efimov. Both have studied the life and literary legacy of the character of their book for many years. For the first time in Russia, using the Russian and European tradition of biographical studies and historical-literary, cultural, and textual practices, the authors have carried out a full-scale reconstruction of the biography of one of the most striking and enigmatic figures of the first wave of the Russian emigration. The authors of the book introduce a significant scope of archival materials and memories of contemporaries, hard-to-access English and émigré periodicals, and other sources into scholarly circulation. It makes it possible to create a detailed account of the main events of prince D. P. Svyatopolk-Mirsky’s life – from his childhood to his tragic death in the Magadan camp, dramatic twists of fate and the reasons behind them, his close circle and distant environment, the political, historical, cultural, and literary context of the events described. The biographers’ interest in the inner world and the psychology of Svyatopolk-Mirsky’s actions is combined with a subtle philological analysis of his literary criticism and studies. According to the reviewers, the book is a major event in the Russian literary, political, and cultural history of the 1920s–1930s.","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45646212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Valevsky (1896–1938) from the collection of the Ulyanovsk Regional Art Museum makes it possible to get a subjective view of the events of the Civil War in Russia. An officer of Kolchak’s army and later a commander of the Red Army, in his drawings, Valevsky recorded not only the everyday realities of the era but also his own experiences and feelings. The famous Soviet painters of the 1920s‑1930s (M. B. Grekov, A. A. Deineka, K. S. Petrov-Vodkin, B. V. Johanson, etc.) avoided any personal interpretation of the events and independent assessments of the revolutionary cataclysms in their epic paintings dedicated to the Civil War. Such a thing is rare in the works of White émigré artists. On the other hand, amateur artists, for whom the documentation of events happening around and internal experiences was a vital need, more often allowed themselves to interpret the history of the “Russian troubles”. Valevsky created his drawings between 1921 and 1925, after the artist’s return to peaceful life and, thus, they can be perceived as memories of what he had experienced. The manner of his graphic works is diverse; they combine grotesque techniques with an attempt to capture reality, and tragic episodes go hand in hand with romantic and comical. In many compositions, the author includes examples of urban and military folklore, lines from poems, romances, and ditties popular among ordinary people. This technique gives the plots both the “spirit of the times” and metaphoricism important for a work of art – the meaningfulness of images. According to the article, the examination of the material also gives a feeling of the autobiographical nature of the entire graphic cycle.","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45663303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bugrova","doi":"10.15826/qr.2023.1.783","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15826/qr.2023.1.783","url":null,"abstract":"At the post-tourism stage, the attitude towards travel perceived as a way to get a unique experience and associated with a kind of game is changing. Along with this, destinations also begin to be perceived differently – as something modelled in accordance with the expectations of the tourist and their subjective ideas about local culture, which inevitably leads to conflicts with the local population, who do not want to adapt to the needs of “strangers”. The protest against the exploitation of local identity and excessive tourist flow has led to the emergence of tourism-phobia, which takes on various forms – from reflecting a negative attitude towards tourists in various languages to anti-tourist public organisations. Overcoming the fear of visitors who can change the usual way of life and impose a new identity becomes one of the most important elements for the successful development of tourism in a destination. In this regard, cases of cities that are gaining popularity among niche tourists are of particular interest. The article considers the examples of Magnitogorsk and Vyksa, two metallurgical monotowns – leaders of Russian industrial tourism. The author demonstrates that the presence of a historically established image known outside the city can reduce the risk of tourism-phobia, while as a result of the lack of explicit self-representation, inauthentic attractors arise (such as the Art-Ovrag / Vyksa Festival), which are attractive to tourists but rejected by the local community, which becomes an obstacle to the harmonious development of tourism and hospitality in a particular location. Building communication with the locals which helps demonstrate the positive aspects of the inevitable transformation, the search for compromises and the formation of industrial pride is the key to levelling the negative effects of tourism and the successful implementation of creative projects in industrial single-industry towns.","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44303288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poetry festivals are characterised by a combination of experimentation and accessibility to the public, the subordination of individual poetic ideas to the general conceptual framework of the project, and quite often the dominance of creativity over artistry, performativity, and procedurality. The InVersiya festival is a part of the Ural poetic movement, which is quite developed today. The author concludes that the Ural authors are open to interaction with poets and artists from other cities and countries, overcoming the complex of “provinciality”, fitting into the all-Russian poetic context. The analysis of the projects the author refers to demonstrates the dominance of the communicative function of poetry and the importance of the pragmatics of the poetic text. The article examines specific methods of interaction between verbal and visual components, revealing strategies of collective authorship. According to the author, among the “Ural” poetic traditions proper, one can name the preservation of the dual addressing of works (elitist and mass), the implicit presence of the gender and environmental components of the figurative range, and a drive towards experiment.","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48671249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author examines 47 major codices (not counting excerpts) attributed to each of the three editions of the Chronograph, which was created in the 1640s and became extremely popular with scribes later. The author reveals 25 of the 31 manuscripts used by Popov. Another 22 archival codices were added to them. For many of them, the author managed to establish the time frames of emergence and identify their creators and owners. The archaeographic data show the growing interest in the work from 1645 to the turn of the eighteenth century among all strata of society. Diocesan bishops and important monasteries (Chudov, Novospassky Siyskiy, Makaryev Zheltovodsky), boyars, many stolniks, priests, merchants, and townspeople tried to acquire The Chronograph.

As a rule, this type of text is characterised by two indispensable factors: informativeness and impact on the recipients of the information. According to linguists’ traditional views, journalistic texts possess expressiveness, emotionality of language units, the author’s openness in relation to the recipients, and specific vocabulary. Following the famous Soviet and Russian linguist V. G. Kostomarov, the authors of this article admit that the specificity of journalistic texts is formed by the combination of the standard and expression. The article explores the conditions of sympathy annihilation in the communicative behaviour of Americans with reference to journalistic texts of American Internet publications. The article verifies the researchers’ thesis that Americans tend to show empathy towards their close people and dealing with strangers, participants of communication in the USA usually show restraint. The authors refer to the theory of compassion annihilation of American psychologist P. Slovic and suggest that it be transferred to the situation of empathy expression/non-expression due to the similarity of the given emotiogenic factors. The study demonstrates that empathy annihilation in American journalistic texts can cause the following situations: a positive effect of this phenomenon (self-care); empathic care (care for others); perceived impact (mutual intention of the communicating people not to show empathy towards each other).","PeriodicalId":43664,"journal":{"name":"Quaestio Rossica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67261528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
