This work continues a series of articles dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the outstanding Soviet historian and orientalist Naftula Aronovich Khalfin. This biobibliographic essay presents an analysis of his activities in 1957–1971, that is, after his appointment as head of the Sector of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The article shows information about the Department of Historical and Cultural Problems of the Soviet East, which included the Sector of Historical and Cultural Relations between the Soviet and Foreign East in Modern and Contemporary Times. Taking into account the profile of the new division, the scientific interests of N. A. Khalfin during this period shifted from the problems of colonialism again to the issues of Central Asia and Afghanistan, which he began to deal with in Tashkent. Since the 1970s, he has published a number of monographs and a large number of articles on various aspects of the history of this region, and continued to write reviews on Soviet and foreign publications. Khalfin made a significant contribution to the study of the biography of the outstanding Russian orientalist N. V. Khanykov. The Afghan theme, to which many works of N. A. Khalfin, including those of a popular nature, were devoted, becomes especially relevant after 1979. During this period, Khalfin, in addition to his scientific work, became known as the author of historical narratives or documentary fiction about the struggle of the Afghan people against the British. Many of his works are translated into English and the languages of Afghanistan. He also published works on the famous figure of «British colonialism» G. Curzon. In addition to his works, Khalfin carried out a lot of work on the publication of the works of the series «Central Asia in the Sources and Materials of the 19th and Early 20th Century», in which he acted as an editor, author of prefaces and notes, as well as the series «USSR and the countries of the East». Being one of the most important researchers of British policy in Central Asia and Afghanistan, Khalfin participated in international scientific joint meetings.

The paper marks the tenth anniversary of the interdisciplinary project ‘Under the Skies of South Asia’ implemented by the Centre for Indian Studies of the Institute of Oriental Studies RAS and headed by Dr. Irina Glushkova. At present, following the pilot volume Death in Maharashtra. Imagination, Perception and Expression, four more volumes have been published, each based upon new methodological ‘turns’ in the humanities: Visual, discussing social perceptions of artefacts; mobile, focusing on various activities performed by individuals and societies in motion; spatial, centered around territories and various human activities to appropriate, acculturate, protect it and legitimize various kinds of interconnections with it, from political to emotional; communicative, exploring historically and ethno-culturally specific means of communication and expression of positive and negative perception of the surrounding world. The fifth volume, at present with the publisher, will discuss emotional / affective turn, which attaches socio-cultural significance to human emotions, previously viewed as physiological reactions common to all people. Two more volumes are planned to deal with the problems of household servants and material turn in the humanities. The project motto ‘Not in General, But in Particular’ symbolizes the contributors’ exclusive attention to the real living conditions of the peoples of the region under study, contrary to the Orientalistic heritage of generalization which viewed India and other countries of South Asia ‘in general’, ignoring regional, ethno-cultural and social specificities of the peoples inhabiting the subcontinent.

At the end of May 2013, several trees were cut down in Gezi Park (Istanbul) to construct a building in the spirit of the old Ottoman barracks, which was to become a shopping center. Several dozen environmental activists tried to protect the park, but the city police brutally dispersed the peaceful camp. After that, the local protest reached a completely different level and grew into a campaign that engulfed the entire country. After these protests part of the population was de facto declared second-class: the head of the Turkish state and the ruling party began to place a very strong emphasis on the Muslim / non-Muslim dichotomy, dividing people at his own discretion and implying, by Muslims, first, practicing Muslims loyal to him. The research is based on my interviews with protesters in Gezi Park and observations in the Beyoglu area during the June 2013 unrest. Most of the respondents lived there in tents after the first dispersal on May 29, 2013, until the second dispersal and closure of the park (and the adjacent Taksim Square) on the night of June 15–16, 2013 The author himself came to Istanbul on June 13 and personally witnessed second acceleration. In this article, are cited quotes from respondents and offered author’s own interpretations of the reasons for the protests associated with the assertion of status domination (according to James Scott).

Chinese business has been developing successfully despite the difficulties associated with the pandemic. Last but not least, this success is associated with the formation of an effective synthesis of cross-cultural platforms of corporate culture and modern Western management systems in Chinese companies. The article examines the influence of traditional values on the management of modern Chinese enterprises. This influence is characterized as a ‘projection of the provisions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism upon corporate culture. Projections coexist, intertwine and integrate with Western approaches to management. As a result, cross-cultural constructs are emerging that allow Chinese companies to combine both traditional Chinese and Western values, which opens the way to effective management and rapid cross-border expansion of activities. To substantiate this understanding of the modern Chinese management style, the article analyzes the activities of Alibaba Group. The analysis shows that in the latest official reports, the company declares values that are projections of the provisions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. At the same time, the concept of the «strategy core» is also included in the values, referring to the internationally widely recognized Balanced Scorecard (BSC) strategic management system developed by American specialists R. Kaplan and D. Norton. This paved the way for the practical application of BSC in Alibaba Group, which turned out to be very successful. The experience of the Chinese e-commerce giant deserves to be studied in connection with the increased importance of Russian-Chinese business cooperation for Russia in modern conditions. The problem of coincidences and discrepancies of values of different cultures should be explored more systematically in order to activate the above-mentioned cooperation.
