The article is devoted to the problem of the perception in the USSR of C. Schmitt and his works. It is shown that the Russian Empire paid attention to and criticized Schmitt’s 1912 work Law and Judgment. Soviet readers in the 1920s–1940s were already acquainted with the content of Schmitt’s key works such as Political Romanticism, Dictatorship, The Historical and Spiritual State of Modern Parliamentarism, Political Theology, The Concept of Political, The Age of Neutralizations and Depoliticizations, and On the Three Types of Juristic Thought, and a discussion of these works was a part of the intellectual life of the USSR in the 1920s–1940s. Moreover, Soviet Marxist-theorists of law, while criticizing Schmitt’s ideas, agreed with some of his ideas regarding the criticism of the bourgeois state and law until 1933. However, after 1933, Schmitt’s works in the USSR turned into an object of harsh criticism, and he himself was proclaimed a key fascist theoretician of state and law. Since the late 1940s, because of the so-called struggle with “cosmopolitanism”, Schmitt’s works received less attention. In the 1950s–1970s, Schmitt’s works appeared only in some critical statements, and the works of Soviet authors of the 1920s-1940s about Schmitt actually fell into oblivion. A new wave of interest in Schmitt began only in the second half of the 1980s, and his works can already be considered in the context of the intellectual history of modern Russia.

Introduction. The creation of a system of cassation courts of general jurisdiction organized on an extraterritorial basis and other significant changes in modern cassation proceedings quite obviously mediate a new wave of scientific interest in the history of the development of a system for verifying judicial acts in the domestic tradition of civil procedure. In this regard, the experience in carrying out the Judicial Reform of 1864, in particular, enforcement of the Statute of Civil Procedure regularized the cassation institution for the first time, became relevant. At the same time, despite the fact that many modern scientific works are devoted to the study of the Statute of Civil Procedure of 1864 itself (including possibilities for appealing court decisions provided for thereby), the studies of foregoing drafts also stay relevant. The draft of 1863 is one such example. This article is devoted to the analysis of this draft in accordance with the declared topic. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to describe the draft Statute of Civil Procedure of 1863 in the context of its provisions defining the content of cassation institution. Methods. In the framework of the study, mainly historical-legal and comparative-legal methods were used. Results. The significance of the draft Statute of Civil Procedure of 1863, in the context of establishment and development of cassation institution in the civil procedure of the Russian Empire, was manifested, first of all, in a sufficiently clear consolidation in it of the very grounds for cassation of decisions. Its definitions are very similar to its provisions have been already consolidated in the Statute of Civil Procedure of 1864. At the same time, existing in that period distinction between terms “cassation” and “revision” promoted the consolidation of two basic tasks of cassation proceedings in the provisions of the Statute of Civil Procedure of 1863: verifying of the final decisions for judicial errors with the purpose of their subsequent elimination and ensuring uniform application and interpretation of the law. Conclusion. The draft Statute of Civil Procedure of 1863, having incorporated the ideas of many subsequent legislative works into itself, became some sort of provisional result of development of the necessity of cassation court in the Russian Empire of the 1800s – 1860s. At the same time, of course, the work on drafting the Statute of Civil Procedure did not end there, wherefore the draft was actively discussed and improved, and its main provisions regarding the regulation of the cassation proceedings formed the basis of the Statute of November 20, 1864.

D. I. Mendeleev’s “cherished thoughts” on foreign trade and “proper protectionism”

Competition Growth

Foreign trade policy and its role in the economic growth of the national economy are considered through the prism of history and comparison of the formation of the industrial economy in the Russian Empire and the North American United States. The author compares the protectionism of D. I. Mendeleev, described in his economic works, and the free trade thinking of the American scholar W. Sumner, who formulated the “misconceptions” of protectionism. Mendeleev’s proper protectionism is grounded on the basic principles (incentivizing internal competition, growth of consumption, bringing up of new industries ), which are relevant for contemporary Russia. The author gives a typical example of the formation and decline of the factory industry using the case of mirror factories in the Ryazan province. These historical analogies, the paper argues, are necessary for the correct assessment of the current situation and for coming up with valid solutions aimed at the development of the Russian economy.

Calculation of the aggregated "consensus" industrial production index has made it possible to date cyclical turning points and to measure the depth and length of the main industrial recessions in Russian Empire/USSR/Russia for the last century and a half. The most important causes of all these recessions are described. The cyclical volatility of Soviet/Russian industry is compared to that of American one.

This book investigates the coming-of-age genre as a significant phenomenon in New Zealand’s national cinema, tracing its development from the 1970s to the present day. A preliminary chapter identifies the characteristics of the coming-of-age film as a genre, tracing its evolution and the influence of the French New Wave and European Art Cinema, and speculating on the role of the genre in the output of national cinemas. Through case studies of fifteen significant films, including The God Boy, Sleeping Dogs, The Scarecrow, Vigil, Mauri, An Angel at My Table, Heavenly Creatures, Once Were Warriors, Rain, Whale Rider, In My Father’s Den, 50 Ways of Saying Fabulous, Boy, Mahana, and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, subsequent chapters examine thematic preoccupations of filmmakers such as the impact of repressive belief systems and social codes, the experience of cultural dislocation, the expression of a Māori perspective through an indigenous “Fourth Cinema,” bicultural relationships, and issues of sexual identity, arguing that these films provide a unique insight into the cultural formation of New Zealanders. Given that the majority of films are adaptations of literary sources, the book also explores the dialogue each film conducts with the nation’s literature, showing how the time frame of each film is updated in a way that allows these films to be considered as a register of important cultural shifts that have occurred as New Zealanders have sought to discover their emerging national identity.

The article argues that the working-class realism of post-WWII British television single drama is neither as English nor as white as is often implied. The surviving audiovisual material and written sources (reviews, publicity material, biographies of television writers and directors) reveal ITV's dynamic role in offering a range of views and representations of Britain's black population and their multi-layered relationship with white working-class cultures. By examining this neglected history of postwar British drama, this article argues for more inclusive historiographies of British television and sheds light on the dynamism and diversity of British television culture.

Tony Richardson's major contribution to British and international cinema has been obscured by jejune prejudices over his small-town, north of England origins, his parallel career as a theatre director and his eclectic choice of film subjects. This article concentrates on his two most important contributions to the ‘British New Wave’ – A Taste of Honey and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner – in order to demonstrate Richardson's ability to recreate dramatic and literary works as dynamic and innovative films.
