В статье рассматривается история конфликта выдающегося пианиста Василия Львовича Сапельникова с руководством Императорского Русского музыкального общества (в лице глав Петербургской и Московской дирекций - Цезаря Антоновича Кюи и Василия Ильича Сафонова) в 1903 году. Инцидент был вызван нарушением договоренности о неучастии Сапельникова в концертах Московского филармонического общества в случае заключения контракта с ИРМО. Посредником в переговорах стало немецкое концертное агентство Вольфа, которое устраивало данный ангажемент. Подробный анализ сложившейся ситуации стал возможен благодаря привлечению новых архивных источников из фондов Российского национального музея музыки - переписки непосредственных участников инцидента, которая впервые вводится в научный оборот. Ее анализ в комплексе с сопутствующими уже опубликованными материалами не только проясняет конкретные обстоятельства дела, но и позволяет воссоздать контекст концертной жизни русских столиц начала XX века - в частности, особенности менеджмента в условиях конкуренции филармонических организаций, институциональное положение артиста, степень юридического оформления его прав и обязанностей. The article deals with the history of the conflict between the outstanding pianist Vasily L. Sapelnikov and the Directorate of the Imperial Russian Musical Society (represented by the Heads of St. Petersburg and Moscow Divisions-Cesar A. Cui and Vasily I. Safonov) in 1903. The incident was caused by Sapelnikov's breach of condition of his non-participation in concerts of Moscow Philharmonic Society in case of signing a contract with Imperial Russian Musical Society. Wolff's Concert Agency, which arranged this engagement, became the mediator in the negotiations. A detailed analysis of the case was made possible by attracting new archival sources from the collections of the Russian National Museum of Music, i. e. the correspondence of participants of the incident, which is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Its study and analysis, together with the accompanying published materials, not only clarify the specific circumstances of the case, but also allow us to reconstruct the context of the concert life of Russian capitals in the early 20 century-in particular, the features of management in the conditions of competing Philharmonic organizations, the institutional position of the artist, the degree of legal registration of his rights and duties.

The article is devoted to the history of an unrealized performance of M. P. Mussorgsky’s opera "Khovanshchina" orchestrated by B. V. Asafyev. On the basis of archival documents, stored in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts, the Russian National Museum of Music, Central State Archive of Literature and Art of Saint Petersburg, the Bolshoi Theatre Museum, most of which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, studied the circumstances under which the opera was planned to be staged in the State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet (nowadays — the Mariinsky Theatre). Fragments from the reports of the Artistic Council of Opera at the State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet meetings, the correspondence between B. V. Asafyev and P. A. Lamm, the manuscript "P. A. Lamm. A Biography" by O. P. Lamm and other unpublished archival documents are cited. The author comes to the conclusion that most attempts to perform "Khovanshchina" were hindered by the difficult socio-political circumstances of the 1930s, while the existing assumptions about the creative failure of the Asafyev’s orchestration don’t find clear affirmation, neither in historical documents, nor in the existing manuscript of the orchestral score.

The article presents a focused look at the professional relations of the composer and pianist Anton Grigoryevich Rubinstein (1829—1894) with his main Russian publishers — V.V. Bessel and P.I. Jurgenson. The article is based on musical and historical research concerning the history of the Bessel and Jurgenson publishing houses, works on copyright, A.G. Rubinstein’s epistolary, and archival documents from the Russian National Museum of Music. For the first time in music science, there are revealed some pages of the history of personal and business contacts of the three named persons, primarily the conflicts related to the rights to publish the composer’s works in Russia. The first documented contract for the publications of A.G. Rubinstein was received by P.I. Jurgenson (for op. 82, 1868). However, the contract of A.G. Rubinstein with the trading house “Bessel and Co.”, concluded in 1871 (though Rubinstein’s first work had been published by Bessel two years earlier), was much more extensive and significant. Under this contract, it was supposed to publish more than fifty A.G. Rubinstein’s works of various genres, so in the 1870s, V.V. Bessel became the main Russian publisher of the composer. However, in 1879, A.G. Rubinstein unexpectedly changed his main publisher in Russia. This position was taken by P.I. Jurgenson, whose trading house also published an extensive list of Rubinstein’s compositions, as well as his literary works. This is evidenced by several notarized contracts, stored in the Russian National Museum of Music, between Rubinstein and “P.I. Jurgenson” company. Thus, the two leading Russian publishers of A.G. Rubinstein legally formalized their relations with the composer, which allows us to follow, in a reasoned and substantive way, the process of maturation of the institution of copyright for music publications in Russia in the last third of the 19th century.Using the example of A.G. Rubinstein, in comparison with the position of M.A. Balakirev, the article also raises the issue of granting copyright to a publisher not only in Russia, but also “forever and for all countries”. The comparative analysis of publications of the same composer by different publishing companies is also new to Russian musicology, this helps identify certain accents that publishers put in popularizing A.G. Rubinstein’s works. The publication of the composer’s works by various publishers also highlights new aspects in his creative process, in the history of the creation, receipt of the opus number, and the titles of some of his works.

Silk is one of the most important materials in the history of medical practice. Owing to its excellent strength, biocompatibility and degradability, silk from Bombyx mori – which is structured as a concentric assembly of silk fibroin (SF) coated by a sheath of sericin (SS) – has long been used for wound treatment. Here, we recapitulate for the first time the topology of native silk fibers using a radically new materials design-oriented approach to achieve unprecedented porous dermal patches suitable for controlled drug delivery. The method implies four steps: (1) removing SS; (2) creating anisotropic macroporosity in SF via ice templating; (3) stabilizing the SF foam with a methanolic solution of Rifamycin (Rif) antibiotic; and (4) coating Rif-loaded redesigned SF foams with a SS sheath. The core-shell SS@SF foams exhibit water wicking properties accommodate up to ~20% lateral deformation. Moreover, monitoring of antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus revealed that the SS@SF foams’ Rif release extended up to 9 days. We anticipate that reverse-engineering of silk foams opens exciting new avenues towards the fabrication of advanced drug eluting silk-based biomaterial platforms with improved performance. The present approach can be generalizable to re-build multicomponent biological materials with tunable porosity.<br>

Article is devoted to it to the phenomenon of the Dagestan ethnographic culture «forgotten» by scientists as superimposed forge locks. They aren't also in the state museums of the republic. Dagestanis had still such locks in which the locking mechanism widely known in the Middle Ages was used, as in Russia until recently, and in the east and the West. At the same time, the type of the lock (delivery note), a form of a design, its variation, an original forge pattern, names testify to the original ethnocultural phenomenon which sources aren't up to the end clear. Superimposed forge locks for the first time were revealed by us at Dargins of Dakhadayevsky district. Still in due time the famous caucasiologist E. M. Shilling paid attention that the ethnoculture of Dargins contains the interesting materials of archaic type which didn't remain at other mountain people of Dagestan. Field material demonstrates that such locks were generally manufactured by masters of villages Amuzgi and Harbuk. The description of a design of locks, in particular their spring mechanism is given. Some data on names of locks are provided in article and the attempt to explain their origin becomes. Material shows that all versions of names of forge locks of a local origin. In the Dargwa language the word "meg" means "iron", "metal". The same word, as a rule, designates also the lock. Forge superimposed locks of Dargins - the unique phenomenon of cultural history of Dagestan bearing on itself a seal of early traditions of metal working. It is obvious that it is necessary to continue searches of new materials and studying of this phenomenon of culture.

The article examines the problem of attribution of an essay from F. M. Dostoevsky's workbook of 1864—1867 (Russian State Archive of Literature and Art. Fund 212.1.5. p. 10), titled “The Usurer”. The novelty of the study is in that Nero (the artist), a character who emerged from the writer’s knowledge and concept of Emperor Nero, for the first time becomes the subject of detailed analysis. Based on the evidence from the classical and early Christian writers, as well as on scientific and literary works written during Dostoevsky’s lifetime, the author makes an argument for Nero’s figure to be considered a junction of at least three elements. He is not merely Nero-the-artist, but also Nero-the-persecutor of Christians and Nero-the Antichrist. This image reveals a ramified network of extensive ties with the preparatory materials for an early draft of “The Idiot”. Thus, it augments the aggregate of B. N. Tikhomirov’s arguments regarding other records, characters, motifs and prototypes in this essay. It also support his theory regarding “The Usurer”, which states that it is not the author’s independent and unexecuted idea, but, rather, should be examined in the framework of the creative history of “The Idiot”, specifically, its initial stage.

With the permission of your Lordship I am about to address to you a short and concluding continuation of some Papers which were read in the season of 1850-1, containing hitherto unnoticed materials for a Memoir of Sir Walter Raleigh. Those materials were derived from various sources, public and private, and brought the history of one of the founders of our Society—a man of great learning, multifarious talents, and energetic and enterprising spirit—down to the year 1598; when I showed, I believe for the first time, that he was employed against the rebels in Ireland, and had offered a price for the head of Tyrone.

Original Classification

The review considers the first attempt in the history of Russian economic thought to give a detailed analysis of informal institutions (IF). It recognizes that in general it was successful: the reader gets acquainted with the original classification of institutions (including informal ones) and their genesis. According to the reviewer the best achievement of the author is his interdisciplinary approach to the study of problems and, moreover, his bias on the achievements of social psychology because the model of human behavior in the economic mainstream is rather primitive. The book makes evident that namely this model limits the ability of economists to analyze IF. The reviewer also shares the author’s position that in the analysis of the IF genesis the economists should highlight the uncertainty and reject economic determinism. Further discussion of IF is hardly possible without referring to this book.
