The Relationship

The article deals with the problem of political influence on scholarship. It analyses the existing versions of an ethnographic essay by Oleg Vilchevsky, a prominent Soviet Orientalist. Alongside a published version the ethnographic essay “The Mukri Kurds” — an author’s typescript, “Mukri Kurdistan,” has been found in the Scientific Archive of Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (the Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The first materials for this essay were collected by Vilchevsky during his journey to Iran in 1942 as he prepared a military-political description of the Kurdish regions. Before publication, the state-controlled structures removed or made the author remove from the essay a number of important thematic blocks, e. g., on interconfessional relations in Mukri Kurdistan of Iran (focusing on Mahabad), descriptions of various meetings Vilchevsky held with Kurdish activists. The paper analyses the content of this scholarly study and the problems related to the publication of the essay in the context of Vilchevsky’s participation as a Soviet military officer in the implementation of the Soviet Middle Eastern policies in 1942–1954. The author of the essay “The Mukri Kurds” apparently strived to maintain scholarly neutrality yet the facts and argumentation contained in the different variants of this study were consistently reviewed and added or omitted depending on the existing political situation. The paper raises the question about the subjectivity or autonomy of a scholar serving a government — something effectively dismissed and neglected in the work of Edward Said on the relationship between politics and scholarship in the field of Middle Eastern studies.

To ensure the effective functioning of the national innovation system it is required an appropriate innovation infrastructure, which is a set of economic entities providing technical, informational, human, financial, organizational-methodical and (or) other support to subjects of innovative activity necessary to create knowledge, technologies, transformation them into new products and services. A key part of the regional innovative infrastructure is a structure of patent information support of innovation processes undertaken by the State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Analytical and patent information play a leading role in strategic planning and management of innovation and intellectual property, scientific-technological and marketing problems, understanding the general level of achievements in the field of science and technology. In this regard, the most important activity of infrastructure elements of the innovation patent information support is to ensure access of economic entities to a variety of resources to effectively address issues of protection, disposition and use of rights to results of intellectual activity. These elements of the innovation infrastructure should become so called «connecting bridges» from knowledge to innovation. The author proposes the exchange mechanisms for commercialization of scientific-technological developments. Launching the project Novosibirsk Center to Support Innovation and Technology created on the base of the State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences plans to change the approach to innovations that should help to solve the regional basic problems.

Referring to a corpus of epistolary sources kept in the personal archival fund of academician V. I. Vernadsky in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (correspondence sent to him from Crimea) and documents from the St Petersburg branch of the RAS Archive and the Department of Written Sources of the State Historical Museum, the author restores some aspects of the daily life of Crimean local history of the 1920s–1930s. Vernadsky’s attention to people and events on the peninsula are connected with a dramatic period of his biography, i.e. his unexpected tenure as rector of the University of Taurida (October 1920 — January 1921). Thanks to the participation of the university in the activities of the Taurida Scientific Association, the academician formed a social circle of scientists from different fields of knowledge in Crimea. The analysis of Vernadsky’s correspondence helps define his range of interests related to Crimean affairs after his departure from Crimea. Vernadsky, not indifferent to the fate of Taurida University (M. V. Frunze Pedagogical Institute) (during the years in question described as Crimean University), was interested in the fate of the prominent professors who he worked with at the university in 1920. Thanks to the Crimean correspondence of A. I. Markevich, the leader of the local history movement, the author has been able to clarify the fate of individual manuscripts by V. I. and G. V. Vernadsky and the history of transfer of funds of the pioneers of comprehensive exploration of the peninsula P. I. Köppen and H. H. Steven to the Archives of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The epistolary heritage of geologists P. A. Dvoichenko and S. P. Popova, Vernadsky’s former colleagues at Taurida University, makes it possible to recreate the pages of the research of the natural productive forces of Crimea carried out in those years. In his correspondence with professors E. V. Petukhov and N. L. Ernst, Vernadsky discussed individual issues that worried scientists.

The paper reconstructs the biography of a forgotten historian archivist M. N. Butkevich (29.12.1858—23.03.1933). His pre-revolutionary life is described: his social background, studies at the St. Petersburg University and his fascination with the Narodniks’ ideas and deportation to Vologda under overt surveillance in 1879, followed by a successful and typical career of major landed gentry that culminated in his election to the State Council, achievement of the rank of Actual State Councillor, and election as Novgorod Governorate’s Marshal of the Nobility early in 1917. In 1927, after several years of despondency, deprived of his fortune and privileges, M. N. Butkevich became a staff member of the USSR Academy of Sciences’ Commission on the History of Knowledge with the help of Academician V. I. Vernadsky. In his line of duty, Butkevich had performed a number of important historical and archival studies of the documentary legacy of M. V. Lomonosov, P. S. Pallas, and others. Butkevich’s work on sorting out Lomonosov’s papers was highly valued as ‘very meticulous and helpful’ by V. I. Vernadsky, A. I. Andreev, and M. M. Soloviev. His contribution to the archeography of Lomonosov’s works is well worth exploring. Besides his participation in the re-publication of Lomonosov’s works, his description of Lomonosov’s papers in Leningrad is well worth mentioning. This description is typologically similar to description of the Pallas documents, but is probably even more detailed. Butkevich’s description in 14 folio pages offers results of his study of the materials from the Archive of the Conference of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Incunabula Department, the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the State Public Library. Events of the ‘Academic case,’ which resulted in the purge of ‘old-regime’ workers from the Academy, did not affect Butkevich much. Surprisingly, even after Vernadsky had to leave his post of the Commission for the History of Knowledge director, in which he was replaced by N. I. Bukharin, little changed for Butkevich. Moreover, on March 15, 1930 deputy director of the Commission for the History of Science academician I. Yu. Krachkovsky authorized M. N. Butkevich to collect archival materials for special projects. The paper is based on the documentary sources introduced for scientific use for the first time.

The main events related to the assignment of the «Imperial» Medical and Surgical Academy status are considered. In the days of the celebration of the Academy’s 100th anniversary, publications dedicated to this event asserted that grateful offspring would always honor the memory of the Academy high Founders and Patrons. Our great predecessors, who celebrated the jubilee ideologically and organizationally, had recognized and honored Emperor Paul I as its founder. But the name and status the «Imperia Academy» was received from the hands» of Emperor Alexander I. On August 27, 1808, the Medical Surgical Academy, which had received Permission to be called Imperial, that was, a new quality (education) and other rights, the advantages granted to it, opened its first solemn meeting. That day, in our opinion, can claim to be considered the Birthday of the Imperial Medical and Surgical Academy. We emphasize that it is only about of the «Imperial» status. At that meeting the president of the academy James Wylie announced that the emperor «deigned to take on the title of Honorary Member of the Academy». On September 18, 1809, another great celebration took place in the Assembly Hall of the Academy devoted Alexander I and other High Men receiving the title of Honorary Members of the Academy. At the same time, the Emperor «showed his special favor to the Academy and bestowed upon it the Highest Charter, which «protects the rights and advantages of the Academy for all time». The most important provision of the Highest Charter was that, as a pledge of special imperial favor, the Medical and Surgical Academy was given the title of the Imperial Medical and Surgical Academy. That great celebration, its ritual procedure were reflected in the academic records: a thanksgiving service in the name of the Smolensk Mother of God in the academic church; the arrival of guests to a large academic audience (Assembly Hall, Conference Hall), members of the State Council, members of the Holy Synod, government ministers, foreign ministers; the arrival of Emperor Alexander I in «the Academy house»; the announcement of the Highest Diploma; the presentation of the diploma by the Minister of Internal Affairs Prince A. Kurakin to Emperor Alexander I; the highest order to present the diploma of the Academy; the receipt of the diploma by the President of the academy James Wylie and his thank-you speech; receiving diplomas Honorary Members of the Academy; election of new Honorary Members of the Academy; final speech of the President of the Academy; a visit to the Emperor of the academic church; breakfast of the Emperor in the dining room and his departure from the academy; further celebrations in the academy.
