The article analyzes the part of the Nicholas’ I artistic program in Rome that was previously insufficiently studied (acquisitions in Italy of works of modern painting, orders for copies from Italian and other masterpieces of classical painting, etc.). Based on documents stored in domestic and foreign archives, the author characterizes the artistic preferences of the Russian emperor, his contribution to the formation of the museum fund of St. Petersburg and Russia; establishes the relationship between the visit of the emperor to Rome and the creation of the artistic and architectural appearance of St. Petersburg and its main temple – St. Isaac’s Cathedral, as well as the revival of the mosaic case in Russia.

The article first discusses the problem of the correlation in the work of Nikolai Gogol as satirist or critic of the “Little Russian” and “Great Russian” types of Russian nobility. The influence of Nikolai Gogol’s Ukraine impressions on the creation of a number of his works of an all-Russia nature is emphasised: short story “The Nose”, the comedy “The Inspector General”, and the poem “Dead Souls”. Based on a comprehensive analysis, numerous facts and various testimonies of contemporaries, a conclusion is drawn about the deep imperial consciousness of the writer, who did not distinguish representatives of the Ukraine and Great Russia in his religious, pastoral criticism. The writer always thought of the Ukraine as part of Rus’ – Russia – the Russian Empire. In contrast to the ideologists of a narrow “small-town” “patriotism”, Nikolai Gogol, being a state thinker, considered the inhabitants of Northern and Southern Russia as subjects of a single Russian power and in his convictions of unworthy employees, “malignant” people of miscellaneous ranks and of the nobility was equally strict and demanding to his countrymen as well as to the Great Russians.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
