В статье рассматриваются предпосылки, приведшие к открытию в Екатеринодаре (ныне - Краснодар) отделения ИРМО (1900), возобновлению его деятельности после прекращения работы в связи с финансовыми трудностями (1905) и избранию в 1907 году шести выдающихся русских музыкантов - Н. А. Римского-Корсакова, М. А. Балакирева, Ц. А. Кюи, Э. Ф. Направника, А. К. Глазунова и С. В. Рахманинова - его почетными членами. Это событие широкой огласке не предавалось и упоминалось только в официальных изданиях ИРМО. В основу исследования легли документы из фондохранилищ Отдела рукописей Российской национальной библиотеки, Центрального государственного исторического архива Санкт-Петербурга, Государственного архива Краснодарского края, а также материалы центральной и региональной периодической печати начала ХХ века. В статье представлены ответные благодарственные письма Римского-Корсакова, Балакирева, Кюи и Направника и грамота на звание почетного члена отделения Кюи; впервые публикуются их факсимиле. В настоящее время ответные письма выдающихся русских музыкантов хранятся в Государственном архиве Краснодарского края, куда поступили из Краснодарского музыкального училища. Не оформленные соответствующим образом, они на протяжении более трех десятилетий находятся в одном из сейфов и являются недоступными. Их факсимиле, представленные в статье, воспроизводятся с копий из личного архива автора, сделанных в 1981 году. The article examines the preconditions that led to the opening of the IRMO branch in Ekaterinodar (now Krasnodar) (1900), the resumption of its activities after the termination of work due to financial difficulties (1905) and the election in 1907 of six outstanding Russian musicians-Ri msky-Korsakov, Balakirev, Cui, Napravnik, Glazunov and Rachmaninov as its honorary members. This fact was not widely publicized and were mentioned only in the official documents of the IRMO. The study is based on documents from the depositories of the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library, the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg, the State Archive of the Krasnodar Territory, as well as materials from the central and regional periodicals of the early 20 century. The article presents letters of thanks from Rimsky-Korsakov, Balakirev, Cui and Napravnik and Cui's certificate for the title of honorary member of the branch and for the first time reproduces facsimiles of these historical sources. At present, the letters of reply from outstanding Russian musicians are kept in the State Archive of the Krasnodar Territory, where they were received from the Krasnodar Music School. Not properly executed, these documents have been stored in one of the safes for more than three decades and are not available. The facsimiles of the documents presented in the article are reproduced from copies from the author's personal archive, made in 1981.

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 is devoted to such an important aspect of the activities of the plenipotentiaries of the State Defensive Committee during the Great Patriotic War, as conflicts of authority. Contradictions between the plenipotentiaries of the State Defensive Committee and the leaders of party, state, economic bodies at various levels, as well as between the plenipotentiaries themselves, that were expressed in the emergence of various disputes and often resulted in conflicts of authority, became commonplace in the functioning of the state power system of the USSR in the war period. Based on documents from federal (State Archive of the Russian Federation, Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, Russian State Archive of Economics) and regional (Central State Archive of the Udmurt Republic, Center for Documentation of the Recent History of the Udmurt Republic) archives, the author considers a conflict of authority situation that developed during the Great Patriotic War in the Udmurt Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which shows that historical reality is more complicated than the stereotypical manifestations of it.

Creative Cooperation

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich (the august poet K. R.) were linked by many years of friendship and creative cooperation. After the composer’s death (October 25, 1893), K. R. became involved in the process of perpetuating his memory. The posthumous dialogue was manifested in various forms: Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich’s participation in church and secular memorial ceremonies, private commemorations, and his close communication with M.I. Tchaikovsky and V.L. Davydov — the composer’s brother and nephew. In addition, K. R. reexamined his creative and epistolary communication with the composer, whose memory he would pass on to his children. These and other aspects are considered in three sections of the proposed article: 1) “Under the Sign of the Liturgy Op. 41” (this spiritual and musical work runs through the whole life of the Grand Duke); 2) “The Grand Duke and M.I. Tchaikovsky” (a key figure in the “human” aspect); 3) “K. R. Reads ‘The Life of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’” (one of the most important findings was a copy of the book ‘The Life of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’, which belonged to Grand Duke and bears his notes; they retrospectively reflect the process of in-depth family reading). The article is based on documentary materials from Russian and foreign collections (including the State Archive of the Russian Federation and the Library of Congress, USA), many of which are introduced into scientific use for the first time. The article uses methods of comparative source studies. The materials of the article can be used in a course of the history of Russian music, as well as in a modern commented edition of the epistolary heritage and diaries of P.I. Tchaikovsky, M.I. Tchaikovsky and Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich.

The paper analyzes the sources, first introduced into the scientific circulation, extracted from the State Archive of the Russian Federation and five regional archives: the National Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan, the State Archive of the Mari El Republic, the State Historical Archive of the Chuvash Republic, the State Archive of Modern History of the Chuvash Republic, the State Press Archive of the Chuvash Republic as well as from the current archives of general education organizations. The article presents a review of materials extracted from the Chuvash National, Poretsky historical and local history, school museums, the Museum of Public Education of the Chuvash Republic. Published sources are characterized in detail: normative legal acts, government and party resolutions, departmental materials, collections of documents, works of state and public figures, statistics, memoirs, reference materials, periodicals. According to the authors, it is essential to examine existing sources in a complex, comparing and contrasting them, with a view to identify the extent of their reliability. Multiplicity and diversity in the form and content of the presented historical sources create conditions for concretization, analysis, comparison, systematization and synthesis of all the collected information for deeper studying various aspects of evolvement and development of the Soviet school in Chuvashia in 1917–1941.

The article presents the history, geography and content of the rumors circulating among the inhabitants of the Pskov province in the first third of the XIX century. The historiography and source base on this problem are studied. The documents revealing the content of the rumors are concentrated in the files of the 20 Fund of the State Archive of the Pskov Region. Based on the analysis of these sources, a periodization of the rumor circulation was made. The main periods of spreading rumors in the Pskov province include July – August 1812, 1822–1826, 1826–1830, and the beginning of the 1830s. The author identifies the reasons that prompted the emergence of rumors among the residents of the Pskov Region. The reaction of the ordinary population of the province to the war rumors of 1812 is revealed on separate examples. Special attention is also paid to the reaction of the provincial authorities to the spread of false rumors in all periods of their circulation. The author draws conclusions about the high importance of rumors in the study of the history of the social space of the Pskov province in the first third of the XIX century. The work is relevant due to the fact that it is in recent decades that the attention of the historical community to the issues of social history has significantly increased. The uniqueness of this study lies in the fact that a number of historical sources are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

Comprehensive Study

The Great Patriotic War became not only the most tragic event in modern Russian history, but also a test for the state system of the USSR, which underwent a number of changes after the outbreak of war. Among other things, the war also affected structures subordinate to the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD). New irregular units were created in the NKVD structure, the so-called fighter battalions designed to protect the Red Army’s near rear and to maintain order in the frontline zone. The article explores issues related to the formation and application of these units in one of the most difficult sections of the Soviet-German front, the Leningrad front. In particular, the process of creating fighter battalions in this region is studied, the level of their material support, and how these units were used in conditions of the German army’s rapid attack on Leningrad and how they were used somewhat later during the siege. The source base includes previously unpublished documents from the Central State Archive of Historical and Political Documents of the city of St. Petersburg and the State Archive of the Russian Federation. An analysis allows not only a comprehensive study of the above problems, but also possible answers to one of the little-studied questions of the history of the Great Patriotic War: how the Soviet command used irregular military formations at the first stage of the war and what role they played in achieving victory.

The article draws on extensive sources discovered by the author in the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF) to reconstruct the history of volunteering in preservation of material patrimony of Russia in the 1960–1980s under the auspices of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Monuments of History and Culture and to investigate forms and methods of public conservation activities. The relevance of the problem is connected to the development of national volunteer movement in preservation of historical and cultural monuments, which coincided with a rise in the scholars’ interest to volunteering in general. The author has identified archival documents, many of which are being introduced into scientific use for the first time. The article reviews the composition of archival documents in the GARF fond, substantiates the possibility of integrated approach to studying of documentary materials on the history of volunteering in conservation and restoration. Documents differ in their content and quite adequately cover the multifaceted activities, forms and methods of work of voluntary activists. The first group is associated with organizational and administrative documents. The second group includes sources of reporting documentation. Office correspondence is the third group of sources. The information potential of various types of documents has been investigated. The value of these materials for studying organization and substantive aspects of voluntary public participation in the conservation activities (restoration and conservation work, identifying, photographing, assessing the condition and usage of historical and architectural monuments, patronage work, inspection, etc.) differs greatly. The author has revealed the names of participants in restoration volunteer groups and associations. The article takes on a special meaning in the context of development and replication of public activities in the field of preservation of material patrimony, while taking into account the historical experience.
