The article deals with the governing bodies of Troitskosavsk in the 1920s. Particular attention is paid to the process of their formation in the difficult time of changing the power, Civil War and foreign military intervention. We have described the structure of the governing bodies of Troitskosavsk, namely economic, financial, administrative, transport departments. The materials of the State Archives of the Republic of Buryatia (SARB) made it possible to present a complete picture of the activities of government bodies in the town. The archival sources allowed us to identify the members of Troitskosavsk district people's revolutionary committee, particularly Troitskosavsk municipal people's revolutionary committee. By studying the protocols, circulars, resolutions of the municipal governance, correspondence with other institutions, as well as correspondence between departments and appeals of the members of people's revolutionary committees, we established the main functions, goals and objectives of the emergency authorities in the town, as well as the problems they were forced to decide in the current conditions. We also determined a clear chronological framework for the beginning of the activities of both district and municipal people's revolutionary committees. The exact date of the end of their activities in Troitskosavsk is unknown till now. That is why it is necessary to continue the study of the municipal governance. Despite the few available researches on the history of Troitskosavsk, there are still gaps on the issues of municipal governance. For an in-depth immersion in the topic of research, it is necessary to refer to archival sources, periodicals of that time, as well as to the sources of personal origin — memoirs and diaries of the participants in the events of those years.

The article analyzes various aspects of the relationship between the largest confessional groups of the Belarusian provinces of the Russian Empire (Orthodox and Catholics) in the late 19th – early 20th centuries in the context of the implementation of the models of self-identification «our – other» and «our – alien». Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the activities of Catholic clergy and fanatical parishioners to incite interfaith hostility (insults to representatives of another confession, unfounded calls for conversion to Catholicism, erroneous interpretation of the Decree «On strengthening the principles of religious tolerance» and the Manifesto of October 17, 1905, and etc.). The authority that Catholic priests had among the parishioners often caused the latter to be hostile to their neighbors of other faiths. The article provides many examples of the fact that the appearance of fanatical priests in a certain area often disrupted the peaceful, conflict-free course of religious life. At the same time, there were cases when the erroneous actions of Orthodox priests and ordinary parishioners became a catalyst for the exacerbation of interfaith relations. The article provides factual evidence of the propaganda activities of Catholic priests in the Polish national spirit, analyzes the reaction of the authorities to it. The most resonant conflict between Catholics and Orthodox at the beginning of the twentieth century is described in detail – an episode in the town of Zelva, Volkovysk district, Grodno province. The basis of the source base of the article was made up of documents of the National Historical Archives of Belarus and the National Historical Archives of Belarus in Grodno. This article can be useful for specialists in history, students, everyone interested in the problems of religious and national relations in European countries. We see prospects for further research in this area in a comparative analysis of the situation in Belarus and other regions of Central and Eastern Europe of the 20th – 21th centuries, mixed in confessional and ethnic terms.

Historical research report on the external architectural surfaces of the fortress of San LeoThe hinterland of Rimini is characterized by the presence of many castles, but the fortress of San Leo is certainly the most representative because of its position and the different constructive contributions that over time have updated its appearance and military functions. Cited by Dante and Machiavelli for the impervious nature on which it stands, its origin dates back to the early Middle Ages. It was rehashed following the imprint of Francesco di Giorgio Martini in the fifteenth century, restored by Giuseppe Valadier at the end of the eighteenth century and converted to a prison in 1631. A peculiarity that makes the studies on the fortress of San Leo absolutely interesting is the treatment of the external architectural surfaces of which there is ample documentation in the historical archives and of which there are multiple uses in the various areas of the factory; the research aims to offer useful knowledge for the subsequent conservation and restoration project. The theme, completely original, arises from indirect investigations of a documentary and iconographic nature, conducted at the State Archives of Pesaro, Florence, Rome, the Central State Archive and the Vatican Secret Archive, which repeatedly refer in the accounting of works, starting from the seventeenth century, the execution of plasters executed outside the monument. The interpretative tension of the archival documents and the drawings continued by looking for a direct comparison between historical information and materiality of the fortress, in order to identify a correspondence between historical data and constructive reality. It emerges clearly that the external surfaces of many parts of the fortress were treated and finished with plaster since its origins, probably due to the exposure to atmospheric agents; therefore a rethinking of what is reported in the literature is necessary both in terms of interpretative profile of the fortress, and about how its image was perceived over the centuries.

A moderately strong earthquake struck southern Sweden 5 km south-west of the town of Sjöbo, 60 km east of Malmö, in the early morning at 6:20 a.m. local time on 16 December 2008. The epicentre was located in Skåne, a region that is known for its extremely low seismicity, and its location was determined to be 55.5°N and 13.6°E with an uncertainty of about 6 km. A depth of 9 km with an uncertainty of 3 km was obtained from teleseismic observations at the Yellowknife seismic array, USA. Since waveform data from the Swedish national seismic network are not yet available, depth estimation using local stations has so far not been attempted. Dur - ing the period 1970–2008, only three small earthquakes were detected in the region; the largest measured 2.8 on the local Richter scale. To our knowledge none of these previous earthquakes were felt by people. The historical archives dating back to 1375 show that 14 other earthquakes have been felt in the area. The largest of these, recorded in 1894, was felt over an area of 7300 km2 and had an epicentre 50 km east of the 16 December 2008 earthquake (Scandinavian Earthquake Archive 2003). The activity in southern Sweden is similar to that of northern Sjælland and north-western Jylland, and confirms the low seismicity of the region (Gregersen et al. 1991).

Olena Apanovych is an outstanding researcher of Ukrainian Cossacks, who rose as a scientist in academic environment in 1945–1950s. In those times the functioning of state archives were renewed and the scarcity of professionals came up. Being a philologist, future famous historian accidentally became an employee of Central State Historical Archives of the USSR in Kyiv. She did not have a basic historical education and studied in a postgraduate department during 1945–1948 (Specialization “History of Ukraine”) which she successfully graduated. Despite all difficulties, young researcher managed to combine the two activities simultaneously. In 1950 she successfully defended thesis. During studing she gained both theoretical and practical experience.While studing at postgraduate department, she even helped her colleagues and friends. When she was leading the department of “old acts”, she initiated Polish language studying, paleology, basic archiving were arranged for other activities that supported professional growth of archive workers.While being influenced by the Kyiv academic society, including PhD lecturers Fedor Shevchenko, Serhii Maslov, Vycheslav Strelskii, PhD colleagues Ivan Butych and Tetyana Slydikova, and under the direct influence of PhD supervisor Kostia Huslystyi and own initiative to self-growth, Olena Apanovych carried on with her development as personality and a professional and continued to be a part of Kyiv intellectuals environment.

For some years, the archives in South Africa have faced a series of unprecedented challenges that threaten the high quality of the documentation and the functioning of the centers that maintain them. The crises facing the State Archives reflect problems in the state more generally including inadequate strategic investment and lack of training, which jeopardise the potential renewal of archivists. At the same time, the wide array of political activities and social movements, the dynamics of civil society organizations and activism require more than ever to curate documentation and expand the archives’ capacities. To answer this paradox, a team working in two independent archives and a research center at Wits University is experimenting with a new “hub” to constitute an important center of independent archives in South Africa. Noor Nieftagodien, director of the Wits History Workshop - the research center that has played a role in the creation of the hub - and a member of the board of the South African Historical Archives, sheds light on the new enterprise.

The study is devoted to little-known facts related to the participation and contribution of the troops of the 11th Marching Regiment to the victory achieved in the battles for control of the heavily fortified area in the Machin. The data presented come to fill the gap in the researches regarding the participation of the marching formations and in particular of the 11th Marching Regiment in the battles as part of the 3rd Army. The presented information helps to clarify and supplement the general picture of the events on the front, by revealing specific details of the course of the hostilities, which so far have not fallen within the scope of attention of the scientific community. Also, a good basis is created for the formation of reasonable conclusions about the significance of the achieved victory. Archival materials have been put into circulation, which reveal new facts about the battles in the Dobrudzha region. The presented brief information about the marching regiments and the combat history of the regiment helps to clarify the nature and purpose of these units, taking into account the fact that the available information about them is more than modest and insufficient. The presented data are entirely based on materials from the State Military Historical Archives – Veliko Tarnovo.

The article deals with the problems of creation and activity of the Chuvash national section in 1918–1920 in Simbirsk. The analysis of document kept at the State Archives of Modern History of Ulyanovsk region is indicative of the national rise of the Chuvash people after the February Revolution of 1917; it shows a high level of education among the Chuvash communists. The work experience of Chuvash Bolsheviks among the population is analyzed. Errors and achievements of propaganda work among the Chuvash population of the province are shown. In Simbirsk province 250 thousand Chuvash lived, and Simbirsk was a recognized Chuvash cultural and educational center. From 1868 the Chuvash Teacher Seminary worked in the town, which launched the beginning of national intelligentsia formation. Graduates and students of the seminary (27 persons) became members of the Chuvash section of the RCP(b), setting the task of conducting propaganda and campaigning among the Chuvash population in their native language. The members of the section were young, energetic and fairly well educated. They were able to deploy the work on the scale of the whole province but they made mistakes: they put emphasis on the printed word. Most of the peasants were illiterate. Neither the calls of the Chuvash communists to create collective farms caused their sympathy. The members of the section found the right path to the masses. They noticed a passionate interest of the Chuvash population in art. Since the autumn 1919 all the public speakings of activists were accompanied by performances and singing of national choirs. Success was not long in coming.
