Some Indian historians, as well as social and political activists believed before and believe now that democracy in India in general, and in Bengal in particular has very deep roots (according to these beliefs, in 7th–8th centuries A.D. Bengal suffered political and economic decline). Such great activists of “Bengal Renaissance” as R. P. Chanda, A. K. Maitreya, R. D. Banerji (Bandyopadhyay), and R. Ch. Majumdar were the first to express this idea and comprehend Bengal as a single entity. Meanwhile the idea in question was based on a single evidence, that was written in the genealogical part of two landgrant charters of Dharmapāla, the second king of the Pāla dynasty (ca. late 8th — the beginning of 9th centuries). However modern historians, analysing the Bengali sources of the period, note the fact that generally only Buddhist historical texts contain references to the mentioned political and economic disorder, while judging by inscriptions and excavations, there is no evidence of decline. Moreover, there is no proof that Bengal existed as a single entity in pre-Muslim period at all. Distribution of inscriptions of Pālas and their neighbours in Bengal territory shows that we can identify around six or seven cultural and political regions there. Thus we could conclude that the notion of deeply rooted Indian democracy is based on the prejudiced interpretation of available sources by the Bengali historians of the early 20th century.

The article was inspired by several diary entries, as well as some unpublished letters of George Roerich. In a letter dated February 25, 1949, upon arrival in Kalimpong, G. Roerich writes to D. Rani and S. Roerich that one of the two people meeting him in the city was Mr. Tarchin. The unpublished letters of George Roerich to the Tibetan D. Tarchin were found in the Archive of Dorje Tarchin (Columbia University, USA). The research of G. Roerich’s and his colleagues’ correspondence, as well as the analysis of the memoir and historical-biographical cycle of Buddhologists and orientalists living in Kalimpong at the same time with G. Roerich, together with various Himalayan periodicals publications, allow us to get an idea of the previously vague aspects of G. Roerich’s activities from 1950 to 1957: Those being his public lectures, exhibitions vernissages, participation in religious and national holidays, membership in various public organizations. George Roerich’s contribution to the shaping of the “transcultural space” can be determined not only due to his cultural, academic and educational activities aimed at consolidating the local community in Kalimpong, but also by creating prerequisites for the formation of intercultural dialogue underlying the Buddhist tradition.

After Emperor Taisho died in 1926, he was replaced on the throne by his son Hirohito, who took the motto of the reign ‘Showa’ (昭和, Enlightened World). The Showa period (1926–1989) was the longest era in Japanese history. The article deals with the four offices of 1927–1931 on the eve of the Manchurian incident of 1931 These are the offices of Tanaka Giichi (April 20, 1927 — July 2, 1929), Hamaguchi Osachi (July 2, 1929 — April 14, 1931), Wakatsuki Reijiro (April 14 — December 13, 1931), and Inukai Tsuyoshi (December 13, 1931 — May 16, 1932). The Inukai cabinet became the last “party” cabinet. The political situation in the country has changed significantly, and Japan entered a new political era, when in the period from 1932 to 1945 the cabinet was headed mainly by the military. The Manchurian incident of 1931, as well as the events that followed, marked the beginning of the capture of Manchuria by Japan and the foreshadowing of World War II. Japan occupied the northeastern part of China and restored the power of the Manchu Qing dynasty in the newly formed state of Manchukuo. In fact, Manchukuo did not play an independent role in the international arena and in domestic politics, any restrictions on the development of Japanese enterprises disappeared, all the resources of Manchuria were now open for use by Japan. Manchukuo was completely controlled by Japan, completely followed its policy and became a springboard for Japan to attack China.

Nicolay N. Miklouho-Maclay
The idea of modern state cultural policy of the Russian Federation lies in creation and development of a system of education for citizens on the basis of traditional for Russia moral values and patriotism. This is achievable through learning the historical and cultural heritage of Russia, world culture, development of creative abilities of the individual, aesthetic perception of the world, accession to different types of cultural activity. As an example of preservation of scientific, historical, cultural and ideological heritage the MiklouhoMaclay Online Museum is discussed, which has opened online in October 2021. It represents the activities of the famous scientist and traveler of the late nineteenth century, which made a great impression on his contemporaries. For example, L. N. Tolstoy praised the researcher’s writings, for in them he saw a confirmation of his thoughts that true civilization can be brought to peoples not by violence, but by education and care for them. The Online Museum contains those results of exploration and scientific study of the South Pacific that help to maintain international contacts and promote intercultural dialogue. Particular attention is given to the description of the collection, which was created with the help of the indigenous people of the North-East of the New Guinea Island (Maclay Coast), where the exhibits were collected. The exhibits in the Online Museum are also interesting because they are showcased in comparison with their counterparts from N. N. Miklouho-Maclay collections of the nineteenth century. Links to the descriptions are available on the resources of those museums where they are stored. Museums today are considered as one of the most important means of education, they specifically perform the functions of additional education—a symbolic act of meeting the past and the present. In the educational process, clearly structured museum materials can be useful for various age categories of students. The establishment of the Miklouho-Maclay Online Museum is also a significant step on the way of enhancing the relations between the Russian Federation and the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, because it contributes to the development of cultural relations between the states. It is a site, which with the help of information about the outstanding scientist and his achievements, shows the connection between generations, gives specific knowledge about the study of the South Seas by Russia from the nineteenth century until today.
俄罗斯联邦现代国家文化政策的理念在于建立和发展以俄罗斯传统道德价值观和爱国主义为基础的公民教育体系。这可以通过学习俄罗斯的历史和文化遗产,世界文化,发展个人的创造能力,对世界的审美,参加不同类型的文化活动来实现。作为保护科学、历史、文化和思想遗产的一个例子,我们讨论了于2021年10月在网上开放的MiklouhoMaclay在线博物馆。它反映了19世纪晚期这位著名科学家和旅行家的活动,这些活动给同时代的人留下了深刻的印象。例如,l·n·托尔斯泰(L. N. Tolstoy)赞扬了这位研究人员的著作,因为他在这些著作中看到了他的思想的证实,即真正的文明可以通过教育和对他们的关怀而不是暴力带给人们。在线博物馆包含了对南太平洋的探索和科学研究成果,这些成果有助于保持国际联系和促进文化间对话。特别注意对藏品的描述,这些藏品是在新几内亚岛东北部(麦克雷海岸)的土著人民的帮助下制作的,展品是在那里收集的。在线博物馆的展品也很有趣,因为它们与19世纪n.n. Miklouho-Maclay的同类藏品进行了比较。这些描述的链接可以在保存它们的博物馆的资源上找到。今天,博物馆被认为是最重要的教育手段之一,它们特别履行额外教育的功能——一种满足过去和现在的象征性行为。在教育过程中,结构清晰的博物馆材料可以对不同年龄段的学生有用。米克洛霍-麦克雷在线博物馆的建立也是在加强俄罗斯联邦与巴布亚新几内亚独立国之间关系的道路上迈出的重要一步,因为它有助于发展两国之间的文化关系。这是一个网站,在有关这位杰出科学家及其成就的信息的帮助下,展示了几代人之间的联系,提供了从19世纪到今天俄罗斯对南海研究的具体知识。

Count Jenő Zichy’s (1837–1906) expeditions in the Russian Empire in the 1890-s aimed to find the ancestry of the Hungarian nation and its route to the Carpathian Basin (regarded as “the Hungarian land-taking”, or “Honfoglalás”). Interest to large-scale expeditions wasn’t the news in Zichy’s family: his father Ödön Zichy was one of the biggest sponsors of the Austro-Hungarian North Pole expedition (1871–1874); count’s cousins Ágost and József Zichy traveled all over Asia in 1875–1877. Count Jenő Zichy was the president of the National Industry Association and actively participated in preparation of exhibitions in Hungary. Thus, he was greatly involved in organization of the large-scale Millennium exhibition in Budapest in 1896, part of which was planed as an ethnographic village. There was a request to display artifacts for the part of Hungarian pre-history, and as there existed long tradition associating Hungarian ancestry with the territory of the Russian empire, the exhibitions were organized. The Caucasus and Central Asia were chosen as the two main directions of the searches because of, first, a widely known letter by Sámuel Turkoly, and, secondly, the ideology of Turanism. In 1895 a research team led by count Zichy spent more than 3 months in the Russian Empire, visiting several places in the Caucasus, the Transcaucasia and Central Asia. There participated an archaeologist Mór Wosinszky, linguist Gábor Bálint and historian Lajos Szбdecky-Kardoss, who also kept a journal of the expedition. Items collected during this first expedition were not enough for exposition of the above-mentioned ethnographic village, and count Zichy went to the Caucasus and Central Asia again, at the end of 1895 - beginning of 1896. Ethnographers Béla Pósta, the curator of ancient artifacts of the Hungarian National Museum, and Jankó János, took part in research and publishing of the collections from these first expeditions. After this work both of researchers decided to participate in the third count Zichy’s expedition, which took place in 1897–1898.

The essay is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the famous Iranian historian and public figure Hossein Makki. It examines the difficult life path of Hossein Makki, who by birth did not belong to the privileged social strata of society, who achieved everything through his own labor and earned his living by working as a teacher, a worker in a bicycle assembly workshop, and served in the army. At the same time, Hossein Makki constantly improved his educational level. After the fall of the dictatorship of Reza Shah, he became involved in political activities and acts as one of the founders of the Iran party, which was close in its views to social democracy, and collaborated with Dr. Mossadegh. He was elected three times to the Iranian Mejlis (parliament). At the same time, he began to write his works on Iranian history, which started to appear in different influential magazines. Among them there are the first sketches of the work, which later became his main creation — The Twenty-year History of Iran. As it turned out, the work on this study took forty years. Gradually, his political activity declined, and he focuses exclusively on academic work. All his works are written in an extremely lively and figurative language, making use of a large number of sources, memoirs of contemporaries, transcripts of meetings of the Mejlis. Each of them shows the author’s great love for his country. In this essay the author analyzes the features and stylistics of Hossein Makki’s historical narratives and expresses his attitude towards him and his works in a somewhat poetic form.
