This article is devoted to the initial stage in the history of studying M. P. Musorgsky's orchestral style. The first researchers who gain access to the composer's autograph of the orchestral score were B. V. Asafyev and P. A. Lamm. The musicians edited the score of the opera "Boris Godunov" for the premiere, which took place at the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre on February 16, 1928, when after a half-century interval, the author's original orchestration was performed. Two short, but fundamentally important articles by B. V. Asafyev, as well as his notes in the margins of the handwritten score, opened a new stage in the scholarly and artistic understanding of Musorgsky's orchestral dramaturgy and orchestral stylistics.

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 A Biography" by O. P. Lamm and other unpublished archival documents are cited.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existing assumptions about the creative failure of the Asafyev’s orchestration don’t find clear affirmation, neither in historical documents, nor in the existing manuscript of the orchestral score.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 describes the period in the study of the archaeological heritage of Altai, preceding the opening of the First Pazyryk burial mound. The substantiation is given why this particular object was chosen by the Altai expedition of the State Russian Museum for research. The article presents the memories of the participants of the excavations, including from archival sources, giving us an idea of the difficulties they had to face directly during the work and during the transportation of the finds, with a lack of labor and financial resources. The article also identifies the main publications, which reflected the results of the study of the First Pazyryk mound. The work highlights the topic of discussion that arose between M.P. Gryaznov, S.I. Rudenko and S.V. Kiselev on the dating of the monument, as well as between the members of the expedition regarding the introduction of all the obtained material into scientific circulation. The article makes an attempt, relying on existing publications and drawing on archival sources, to consider the history of the initial stage of the study of the First Pazyryk mound, which gave material that is absolutely exceptional in terms of abundance, diversity and scientific value, and still attracts the attention of researchers.

The year 1886 was destined to be a crucial one in the history of the American labor movement. The eight-hour crusade, the numerous strikes, the Haymarket bomb, the entrance of workingmen into the political arena at the state and national levels, and the mushroom growth of labor organizations all contributed to the agitation and excitement of the year. Yet the importance of these events was overshadowed by a development that was to have such far-reaching implications that it would determine the future of the labor movement for the succeeding half century. That development was the declaration of war by the trade unions against the reform unionism of the Knights of Labour.

Why do particular figures appeal to diverse audiences at specific historical moments? What social roles do icons play in an interfaced world? Tracing the history of global icons over the past half-century demonstrates that the answers to these questions lie not only in the form and connotations of icons, but also in their significant malleability across space and time. Global icons crystallize thought, channel ideas, foster real or imagined linkages, and focus communal energies. They represent imagination beyond the state, political party, or movement. In short, audiences transform iconic figures into the dynamic products of the transnational imagination and collective interpretation. Seemingly timeless, iconic figures symbolize transcendence and communal ideals while remaining malleable. Thus, attraction to icons is not the idolization of the individual per se. Rather, it is the idolization of possibility, of the visions and values that audiences imagine iconic figures to represent.

Abstract History has been difficult to dislodge from its colonial trajectory in spite of at least a half-century of post-Orientalist critique. Accordingly, a critical theory that is genuinely global in its lineaments is difficult to establish as practice without more decolonial histories of the modern world. This paper thus moves on two fronts in order to meet the stated objectives of expanding the field of critical theory while tracking “untimely traditions” and the horizons they’ve drawn. It will offer a history of anticolonial practice that was simultaneously theorized within a distinct Islamic mystical tradition and against a globally emerging conception of state sovereignty (on which much of history writing wittingly or unwittingly concentrates). These political and intellectual histories converge around the biography of a nineteenth-century itinerant Sufi, Sayyid Fadl Ibn Alawi. The critical potentiality of this life will be extrapolated into the present by considering the death-defying horizons opened by the newly expanded repertoire available to a mystical tradition, which allows us to reflect on the anticolonial as an ontology refused and yet a promise. Finally, the paper seeks to answer a question that was only treated partially in my recent book For God or Empire. Does the mysticism of this tradition devolve into apolitical practices or does its survival and even proliferation compel a revisioning of emancipation in history and in theory?

“We believe that all these perceptions of the usefulness of mathematics arise from the fact that mathematics provides a means of communication which is powerful, concise and unambiguous” (Committee of Inquiry into the Teaching of Mathematics in Schools, 1982). Thus begins the latest report, the Cockcroft Report, on the state of mathematics in British schools. Needless to say, the picture is not one of pride and satisfaction but more of the “should do better” variety. The report quotes other such exercises from a century, a half-century, and a quarter-century ago, and each in turn has the Aavor of “should do better.” The American National Academy of Sciences' Report of a Convocation (1982) carries a similar message with the added note: “used to do better.” The history of teaching mathematics in Britain fails to support this contention. Prior to 1836 there was no reaching of mathematics at Eton, although some arithmetic appeared in the curriculum. At Harrow mathematics was compulsory by 1837, and by 1868 we already have a government report saying, “The teaching of mathematics in English schools is rarely satisfactory.” One wonders whether we have ever managed to match the subject to the child.

This chapter examines the fortunes of the aristocracy in England between the mid-twelfth and the mid-thirteenth century, beginning with the impact of Angevin kingship upon the aristocratic world and the great aristocratic revolt which led to Magna Carta. We will look at the impact of the Common Law upon both the high aristocracy and minor aristocracy/knights. We turn then to examining the changes that were taking place within the aristocracy itself within this period, that is to say the impact of chivalric knighthood and the delineation of nobility. The emphasis throughout is upon power relations rather than the development of the ‘constitution’. The chapter also looks at aristocratic values through the near-contemporary History of William the Marshal. The last part of the chapter looks at the half-century following Magna Carta, not in teleological terms. but in its own right. Finally, the chapter re-examines the origins of bastard feudalism.

The purpose of the research is to analyze the role of the economic and technocratic elite in the conditions of the revolutionary transformation of the Ukrainian society (March 1917 – April 1918).Methods: inductive and deductive; chronological.Main results. Given the immaturity of the Ukrainian elite, it should be noted that the economic and technocratic elite at the initial stage of the national liberation struggle was hardly represented in the Central Rada. Those who had economic education – did not have experience in state-building, which complicated the decision of urgent issues of the Ukrainian society. Particularly acute inability of the technocratic elite to regulate important aspects of the functioning of the state was felt in the regions. The inadequate interest of the elite, the deformation of the Ukrainian society, the populist policy of the Central Rada, and its inability to solve urgent issues in the conditions of the revolution pushed away from it the representatives of the economic and technocratic elite and determined the future fate of the Ukrainian revolution.Scientific novelty. The author attempted to determine the main ways of recruiting an economically-technocratic elite, the activities of the economics and technocratic elite in the conditions of revolutionary transformations in March 1917 – April 1918, characterizes the attitude of the economically-technocratic elite to revolutionary events and the influence of the October Revolution on the ideological orientations of this stratum.The practical significance of the work is the possibility of using it while teaching the course "History of Ukraine", studies of local lore.Type of article: theoretical.

The Subject

In spite of the evident importance of professionals and the professions in the Global South, the sociological literature on the subject is almost entirely confined to the developed market economies. In turn, the North American literature on development has not filled the vacuum – as it has largely ignored the professions for the better part of the last half century. In this introduction, we offer a brief intellectual history of these two sub- disciplines and critically appraise this mutual neglect - of professionals in the sociology of development, and of the Global South in studies of professions. We then offer four realms of investigation where we believe the marriage of these two spheres of knowledge would be particularly useful: the relations between professionals and the state, the politicized nature of professions, the fragmentation of professions, and the transnationalized nature of professions.
