The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club (OFNC) represents an unbroken chain of organized, non-governmental natural history investigation and education dating back to the early days of the city of Ottawa itself. The Club originated in 1863 with the formation of the Ottawa Natural History Society which became the Natural History branch of the Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society in 1870, from which the OFNC formally separated in March 1879. Since that time, it has grown into Canada’s oldest and largest regional natural history organization and has produced a diverse and internationally recognized publication program. Since 1880 The Canadian Field-Naturalist and its predecessors have constituted the scientific core of the OFNC’s publication program, with Trail & Landscape being an important Ottawa Valley publication since the late 1960s. The importance of both publications to the growth and health of the organization is reflected in the major surges in Club membership experienced when each of these publications was established. The focus of membership activities has changed over the history of the OFNC, with enlightened natural resource management, then original scientific research and local exploration directing energies in the early decades. By the early years of the 20th century the publications program become the raison d’etre of the Club, almost to the exclusion of local field activities. A renewed interest in field discovery and the growth of conservation awareness in the 1960s, however, rekindled local activities and re-established the balance which has sustained the organization throughout its history. Natural environment education has remained a critical theme within OFNC programs and activities. Over and above inspiring the professional careers and private interests of thousands of individuals for more than a century, the OFNC has had an important and lasting impact on the conservation of natural environment features and landscapes in Canada and North America.

The intellectual movement to interpret fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism as “political religions” has generated lively debates and an intensive publication program for over a decade. The scholarly trend has been closely associated with a revival of the concept of totalitarianism, reconfigured to account for the popular appeal and violent fervor of twentieth-century mass movements of the extreme right and left. As theoreticians of political religion have been preoccupied with arguments about the definition of religion and the problems of comparison, two stumbling blocks have become increasingly apparent. First, historians of Soviet communism, who since the early 1990s have empirically and conceptually transformed the study of Stalinism and Soviet history, have either exhibited “utter neglect” of the political-religion concept or have shunned it due to the scientism and official atheism of the regime. As a result, comparisons in the political-religion mode have generally been carried out by scholars not expert in Soviet history. Second, and closely related to this, even sympathetic critics have found secular religion too blunt a tool and too generic a concept to probe the “novel, supranational, but historically specific . . . sense of mission” produced by radical interwar regimes. Soviet communism as a project, more than fascism, was deeply invested in viewing its own ideology as genuinely scientific.

AbstractThe present paper discusses the interplay between the Soviet state policy towards indigenous languages of "Northern Minorities" and the attitudes of the indigenous communities to their languages and to language endangerment. The author uses statistics on the Soviet state program of publishing books (primarily school books) in indigenous languages that was launched in the late 1920s and underwent considerable changes in the course of the decades to follow. It is argued that the publishing policy for all languages of indigenous minorities of the Far North followed the same consistent pattern that included several phases: "a glorious beginning" in the 1930s interrupted by the war, then a strong continuation in the 1950s, then a drop in the 1960-70s, and a resurrection in the 1980s, interrupted by the economic crisis of the early 1990s. The most interesting and the least clear period is the two and a half decades between mid-1950s and late 1970s where changes of the state policy may be connected with changes in community attitudes towards their native languages. A successful policy of language preservation and revitalization is possible only if it is supported simultaneously by the state and the indigenous community.

The Impact

The Directorate of Youth and Sports of the Ash-Siddiq Islamic Foundation (YIAS) is located at the Ash-Siddiq mosque complex as a center for Islamic activities for the Muslim community in 3 RW 10, 11 and 13 in Umbansari sub-district, Rumbai district, Pekanbaru City. The problem is the lack of trained human resources for publication activities and the lack of youth activities in mosques. The aim of the program is to increase the participation of environmental youth in positive activities as well as to increase the number of congregations praying 5 times a day among youth as an effort to foster and coordinate activities at the YIAS Youth and Sports Directorate. The method of implementing program activities includes the provision of internet services within the Ash-Siddiq mosque as a means of publicizing activities through social media. Then in addition to video editing workshops as technical skills provision to support the YIAS activity publication program. The program results in the form of the impact of increasing youth participation in religious activities such as congregational prayer in mosques which increased by an average of 174.4%. In addition, the increase in publications on social media Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to an average of 9.6 posts for each YIAS official account on social media. Then the results of the usability survey analysis of the use of internet services and the use of video streaming equipment to publish directly, the results are 90.9% or 4.54 on a scale of 1-5

The Russian Language

The article presents an analytical description of the Siberian dialectological materials of the founder of the Tomsk Dialectological School Alexander Dmitrievich Grigoriev, a Russian ethnographer, historian, dialectologist, folklorist, and public figure. Grigoriev’s dialectological materials are records of the Russian Siberian dialect speech of the first third of the 20th century. They have practically not been described in the domestic studies and have not been introduced into the research discourse. Grigoriev’s research and teaching activities at Tomsk University are Siberian dialectological studies. He investigates the Russian dialects of Siberia, organizes expeditions and actively participates in them. The materials collected during these expeditions were the basis for further research of the Russian dialects of Siberia, which Grigoriev continued in Czechoslovakia. His personal handwritten and typewritten archival fund is stored in Prague. Part of Grigoriev’s Prague archive is housed in the Slavonic Library, a division of the National Library of the Czech Republic (Clementinum, Prague). It is here that the Siberian dialectological materials this article describes are located. The archive under study includes (1) several copies of the publication Program for Collecting Information Necessary for Compiling a Dialectological Map of the Russian Language in Siberia: North Great Russian and Middle Great Russian Dialects by A.D. Grigoriev, and (2) handwritten records of the speech of Siberians made during dialectological expeditions. The Program was analyzed for its content and the nature of handwritten notes, including researchers’ and respondents ones. The expedition materials were analyzed for the information they contain and for the organization of their recording. As a result, it has been revealed that Grigoriev’s dialectological materials consistently reflect the specifics of the research paradigm linguistics used at the origins of dialectological studies. The notes that are significant for the study can also be used for solving modern dialectological problems. The materials of the studied archive correspond to the initial stage of the formation of methods of field linguistics.
