State regulation of public libraries in Russia in the first half of the XIX century DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-13-18 The article reveals the content of state regulation of the activities of public libraries in Russia in the first half of the 19th century. It is shown that the government showed interest in involving the public in the development of the cultural life of urban centers, and therefore created relatively comfortable legal conditions and an organizational environment for the work of public libraries. In the 1830, the authorities tried, using bureaucratic methods, to introduce a public initiative to create public libraries in provincial cities. In response to the proposal of the head of the Free Economic Society P. S. Mordvinova, the Minister of Internal Affairs attracted the heads of regions – governors – to create a kind of library partnership. Local authorities, for their part, had to guarantee legal status to provincial libraries, provide them with organizational assistance, and representatives of the public, for their part, had to accept funding and carry out ongoing library work. The government established a licensing procedure for opening public libraries, which received legal status and the ability to independently stock book depositories. In an effort to prevent public libraries from becoming centers of anti-government propaganda, the authorities exercised administrative and police supervision over them. The results of the implementation of the ministerial project turned out to be modest: instead of the planned fifty-two, only twenty-nine public libraries were opened, most of which ceased to exist within 10–15 years. However, the general principles of state regulation of the activities of provincial libraries were extended to all other public libraries in Russia. In the middle of the 19th century, a library boom began in the country, which was caused by numerous public initiatives from below. Keywords: public libraries, public initiative, self-organization, state regulation, protective policy, censorship. |

M. S. Novikov Activities of government bodies and socio-political organizations on the creation of territorial autonomy of the Siberian Tatars (1989–1997) DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-36-45 The purpose of the study conducted by the author was to determine a number of ethnic, economic and political factors. Factors that required the elaboration of the idea of creating territorial autonomy of the Siberian Tatars in the north of the Omsk and south of the Tyumen regions of the Russian Federation as an alternative to the growth of separatist insistence. At the same time, special attention was paid to the study of the views and activities of representatives of government bodies, socio-political organizations and subjects of economic relations in Western Siberia. The author's research was conducted using a wide range of sources: documents of authorities and public organizations, reference materials, printed publications of authorities and public organizations, published memoirs of participants in the movement for the revival of Siberian Tatars and data obtained during meetings with them, materials of journalistic investigations. In the course of the research, the author turned to the method of historicism, in which synchronistic, statistical and comparative historical methods were used. The results of the study were the recognition of the inexpediency of creating the territorial autonomy of the Siberian Tatars based on ethnic factors and its complexity in view of the economic and political situation prevailing in the Russian Federation in the 1990. Keywords: Siberian Tatars, Siberian Khanate, Tatarstan, Omsk oblast, Tyumen oblast, territorial autonomy, Milli-Majlis of Siberian Tatars, Tatar-Bashkir movement «Vatan». |

M. A. Knyazev The relationship between the palace commandant V. A. Dedyulin and the rightists: ideological unity or mutually beneficial cooperation? DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-46-51 The article examines the problematic issue of the nature of the relationship between the palace commandant V. A. Dedyulin and representatives of right-wing political forces at the beginning of the 20th century. The purpose of the article is to determine what was the basis of interaction between V. A. Dedyulin and the right - ideological unity or mutually beneficial cooperation? The sources of the study were both published and unpublished documents, in particular, personal and business correspondence of the palace commandant from the collections of the Russian State Historical Archive. The idea of V. A. Dedyulin, established in historiography, as an ideological sympathizer of the monarchist camp is criticized and the liberal nature of the ideas of the head of the imperial guard is substantiated. The article concludes that the relationship between V. A. Dedyulin and the right was built on a pragmatic basis and was more likely to represent cooperation based on mutual benefit rather than ideological unity. Keywords: V. A. Dedyulin, palace commandant, First Russian Revolution, political parties of Russia, Union of the Russian People, Nicholas II, V. M. Purishkevich. |

D. A. Maliuchenko On the degree of import dependence of the merchant fleet of the Russian Empire on the eve and at the beginning of the First World War DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-52-58 The article analyzes the scale of the influence of foreign capital on the development of the commercial fleet of the Russian Empire on the eve of the First World War and the resulting restrictions on the use of civilian vessels at the beginning of the armed conflict. On the basis of previously published statistical data and archival documents introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, various degrees of dependence on the import of spare parts of sea and river merchant fleets, as well as the level of satisfaction of the country's needs achieved by them, are demonstrated. The main manifestations of the critical dependence of Russian merchant ships on a number of German-made components are highlighted. The author concludes that the seemingly catastrophic situation of the maintenance of foreign-made ships was actually resolved, including thanks to the actions of the Russian government and the establishment of a channel for the supply of foreign equipment to domestic ports. Keywords: World War I, merchant fleet, foreign trade, import dependence, requisition, naval conscription. | 52-58 |
V. M. Tarelko Procurement in the field of military property: to the activities of the Russian Supply Committee in America in 1917 DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-59-64 In the article has been attempted to consider the position of the Russian Supply Committee in America, the problems and the state of its structural units during the significant 1917 year of last active cooperation with the Allied powers in military procurement during the First World War. As the Russian Supply Committee is currently presented fragmentally in the scientific historical literature, the author has identified the following purpose of this article – to reduce and expand the available material on the activities of the Russian Supply Committee into a unified picture, paying special attention to the perception of its activities in the American press, the problem of transportation, the issue of the introduction of liquidation policy in relation to purchase order, efforts to purchase transport property. The article was written on the basis of unpublished sources (materials of the office work of the Russian Supply Committee, correspondence of General N. M. Khrabrov with the Main Directorate for Foreign Supply and the authorized Ambassador from the Russian government B. A. Bakhmetyev, orders and instructions of the Main Directorate for Foreign Supply, materials of the Special Investigative Commission) identified in the funds of the Russian State Historical Archive. As a result, the author concluded that in the conditions of political instability and stagnant organizational and structural problems, the Russian Supply Committee could not properly resolve the issue of purchasing military property on the American market. Keywords: the Russian Supply Committee in America, military-technical cooperation, World War I, transport procurement, the Main Military-Technical Directorate, the Main Directorate for Foreign Supplies, Russian army. | 59-64 |

Kaplan and Marti on definite descriptions DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-84-88 Donnellan’s distinction between referential and attributive uses of definite descriptions gave rise to controversy between semantic and pragmatic accounts of referentially used descriptions. Kaplan adumbrated and Marti elaborated in detail a semantic account that assimilates referentially used definite descriptions with proper names in the sense of the theory of direct reference. I argue that the evidence Kaplan-Marti theory relies on is inappropriate, and conclude that Kaplan-Marti theory has no advantage over the pragmatic account of referential use in Donnellan’s sense. Keywords: definite description, referential use of definite descriptions, proper name, direct reference theory. |

Why Is It Good to Be Alive? / trans. from Engl. R. L. Kochnev DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-94-98 The essay raises the problem of the value of life. For living organisms like us, it appears to be an unconditionally good. It seems that the necessary grounds for such an attitude must be in the ontological structure of life itself. But an impartial analysis shows that the value of life is something external to life itself. Keywords: life, death, value, pleasure, knowledge. |

A. V. Mertsalov In defence of the standard psychological theory: can a person be a type? DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-99-115 The paper presents a defense of the standard psychological theory of personal identity against Mark Walker’s criticism of it. Walker claims that the conceptual tools of standard psychological theory of personal identity are insufficient to solve the problematic cases of branching in the context of moral and legal responsibility questions, and argues in favor of an approach to these problems that involves the type/token distinction. In the current paper I argue against Walker that the approach he suggests is untenable, and that the conceptual tools of standard psychological theory are sufficient to provide an adequate analysis of the cases mentioned. Keywords: personal identity, moral responsibility, Strawsonian theories, psychological theory of personal identity, type and token theory, branching. |

A. V. Shastin The economics of hybridization: working with intellectually capacious processes and products DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-4-146-151 The purpose of the article is to consider the concept of hybridization economics, what forms it takes, how the growth of hybridization rates will affect business processes using examples of complex work with intellectually capacious processes and products. After COVID-19, the main characteristic of the modern economy is hybridization. In theory, it is a combination of several subjects, processes, and technologies. The author identifies several stages of hybridization. The first is the use of circuitry to control economic processes. At this stage, a person adapts to the technique. The second stage is the appearance of human dimension. Equipment and technical products in their parameters should be commensurate with the person, convenient for him to use. In contrast to the first stage, a person subordinates technology and digital systems, using them to strengthen himself. Hybrid offices are used in the economy. The next stage is management and interaction with intellectually capacious objects. It is predicted in the near future, according to various sources, the transition to the next stage – the hybridization of property. Keywords: hybridization, hybridization of property, hybrid office, circuit engineering, system engineering, financial technologies, human dimension. | 146-151 |
