For more than twenty years, the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences celebrates the Day of Slavic Writing and Culture with a traditional scholarly conference.”. Since 2014, it has been held in the young scholars’ format. In 2019, participants from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Togliatti, Tyumen, Yekaterinburg, and Rostov-on-Don, as well as Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania continued this tradition. A wide range of problems related to the history of the Slavic peoples from the Middle Ages to the present time in the national, regional and international context were discussed again.

The book was compiled on the materials of the scientific conference “Anthropomorphic and zoomorphic representations of nations and states in the Slavic cultural discourse” (2019), held at the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) and devoted to the history of the nations’ personifications and generalized ethnic images in period of “imagined communities” formation. This process is reconstructing on verbal and visual sources and by methods of various disciplines. The historical evolution of such zoomorphic incarnations of nations as an Eagle (in the Polish patriotic poetry of the first third of the 19th cent), a Falcon (in the South Slavic and Czech cultures in the 19th cent), a Griffin (during the formation of the Cassubian ethnocultural identity) is considered. The animalistic national representations in the Estonian caricature of the interwar twenty years of the 20th cent., so as the functioning of the Bear’s allegory as a symbol of Russia in modern Russian souvenir products are analyzed. The originality of zoomorphic symbolism in Polish and Soviet cultures is shown оn the examples of para- and metaheraldic images in XXth cent. The transformation of the verbal and visual images of “Mother Russia” personifications in Russian Empire was reconstructed. The evolution of various allegories of ethnic “Self” and “Others” is presented by caricatures of 19th – 20th cent. in Slovenian periodic and in Russian “Satyricon” journal (1914–1918).

Еще в 2009 г. удалось выявить в фонде Музея антропологии и этнографии (Кунсткамеры) РАН ряд буддийских экспонатов Кунсткамеры XVIII в. Письма Миллера к Лубсан-тайше и ламе Дзоржия, опубликованные А.Х. Элертом, консультация XXIV Пандито Хамбо-ламы Аюшеева и инструкции Миллера переводчику Илье Яхонтову, хранящиеся в Санкт-Петербургском филиале архива АН, позволили прояснить точную дату приобретения артефактов и имя первособирателя Дамба-Даржа (Даржай) Заяева, ставшего в 1764 г. I Пандито Хамбо-ламой. Автор статьи определил особенности художественного стиля, получившие дальнейшее развитие в бурятской живописи. Проведены параллели в композиции, стиле, характерных деталях изображения со скульптурой, выполненной в долоннорском стиле. Также описан еще один предмет коллекции небольшая буддийская танка, подаренная в 1783 г. Академии наук III Пандито Хамбо-ламой Лубсан-Жимба Ахалдаевым. Статья рассказывает об истории этой танки, а также ее стилистических особенностях, колорите, деталях изображения, композиции. Back in 2009, it was possible to identify a number of Buddhist exhibits of the 18th century Kunstkamera at the fund of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Mllers letters to Lubsan Taisha and Lama Dzorzhia published by A.Kh. Elert, consultation of the XXIV Pandito Khambo-Lama Ayusheev and Mllers instructions to the translator Ilya Yakhontov, stored in the St. Petersburg branch of the Academy of Sciencess archive made it possible to clarify the exact date of acquisition of the artifacts and the name of the first selector Damba-Darzha (Darzhai) Zayaev, who became I Pandito Khambo-lama in 1764. The author of the article identified the features of the artistic style that were further developed in Buryat painting. He saw parallels in composition, style, characteristic details of the image with a sculpture made in the Dolonnor style. Another collection item is also described a small Buddhist icon, donated to the Academy of Sciences by III Pandito Khambo-Lama Lubsan-Zhimba Akhaldaev in 1783.

The authors of this contribution analyze the circumstances and the history of a popular play that was staged in the Soviet Union in 1927-1928. Titled Jumah Masjid, this play was devoted to the anti-colonial movement in India. A manuscript of the play, not indicating its title and the name of its author, was found in the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences among the papers related to A.M. and L.A. Meerwarth, members of the First Russian Expedition to Ceylon and India (1914-1918). Later on, two copies of this play under the title The Jumah Masjid were found in the Russian Archive of Literature and Art and in the Museum of the Tovstonogov Grand Drama Theatre. The authors of this article use archival and published sources to analyze the reasons for writing and staging the play. They consider the image of India as portrayed by a Soviet playwright in conjunction with Indologists that served as consultants, and as seen by theater critics and by the audience (according to what the press reflected). Arguably, the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution in Russia in 1927 and the VI Congress of the Communist International (Comintern) in 1928 encouraged writing and staging the play. The detailed picture of the anti-colonial struggle in India that the play offered suggests that professional Indologists were consulted. At the same time the play is critical of the non-violent opposition encouraged by Mahatma Gandhi as well as the Indian National Congress and its political wing known as the Swaraj Party. The research demonstrates that the author of the play was G.S. Venetsianov, and his Indologist consultants were Alexander and Liudmila Meerwarth.
