The purpose of the study is to consider Old Russian literature of the XI–XII centuries within the context of Russian culture, which is of lasting significance. The main tasks are to comprehend high spirituality, patriotic love, and Christian universalism, as well as to identify the spiritual and moral dimensions of Old Russian literature. Mental constructions are embodied in the diversity of cultural creations, and their objective, comprehensive analysis requires involvement of not only verbal, but also non-verbal monuments. The attraction to a lively vivid word, a special interest in moral, historical subjects may be considered as certain advantages, because they raised the philosophical significance of culture as a whole and were addressed to the most topical issues of historical life. Following the development of Russian philosophical thought of the 11–12 centuries, we can trace the process of its gradual formation and the development of sustainable traditions. In the Old Russian milieu, certain notions about the development of world and domestic thought are being formed, and what can be called historical and philosophical knowledge is arising. A lot of research by historians, philosophers, and art historians addressed the relations of old Russian culture with Russian culture of 17–20 centuries. One of the vital tasks of modern Russian philosophical thought is the recognition of its unity with the more than a thousand-year-old tree of Russian culture, the development of those enduring values that were created by our people over many centuries of their constant creative work.

The relevance of this paper is related to the search for ways and effective methods to ensure the preservation of objects of material cultural heritage of Russia, which is confirmed by the adoption in 2020 of a new Article 67.1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation on the protection of historical truth, continuity in the development of the Russian state during the millennial history, as well as the proclamation of 2022 — the Year of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia. The research`s aim is a comprehensive study of the cultural potential of the heritage object as a symbolic basis for its memorialization in the space of the Russian industrial city of the Soviet era. Taking into account the broad perspectives of the study of the phenomenon of “historical monument”, the authors consider the issue through the prism of value-normative, activity-based, symbolic and semiotic approaches to culture, concepts of historical memory and “places of memory”. Russian industrial cities have a unique culture, whose creators preserve and popularize the traditions of professional communities. In many of them, a historical and cultural landscape has been formed for a long time, indicating the possibility of identifying historical ensembles (industrial quarters, individual enterprises) and even entire historical settlements. However, this process requires a clear definition of the memorial value and is understudied so far. In this regard, the authors analyze the potential of cultural institutions of industrial centers that have accumulated solid socio-cultural experience as a basis for memorializing real estate objects, identifying new architectural monuments in the space of industrial centers of the Southern Urals. The study (state historical and cultural expertise) conducted in 2021 in relation to the Palace of Culture of Metallurgists in Novotroitsk, Orenburg region served as the paper`s empirical basis. The results obtained are implemented into the activities of the Orenburg region`s Government. The main results are to substantiate the expediency of using a broad methodological basis for the study of the cultural capital of a real estate object as a basis for its acceptance for state protection as a monument and to prove that cultural potential may act as a symbolic basis for the memorialization of a heritage object.

The life and creative path of I. K. Aivazovsky is widely known, yet researchers have not paid enough attention to psychogeography as one of the dominant factors determining the formation and development of his creative personality. Developing within ‘situationist international’ milieu, the term “psychogeography” is correlated with the scientific spheres of social psychology and philosophy, and is fully applicable to the art of the early 21 c. This term, in our opinion, should also be applied to the broad field of art history. Aivazovsky traveled all over the world. Travels in Italy, Western European countries, trips to Turkey and the Caucasus became milestones of his creative path, but he drew inspiration, first of all, in his native Feodosia. Turning to the study of the psychogeography of I. K. Aivazovsky's creativity, one should also turn to the genesis of his kind. Belonging to the Crimean Armenians played an important role in life of the future artist. The Armenian colony in Crimea has more than 600 years of history. Ivan Aivazovsky studied at the Armenian parish school at St. Sarkis Church, where he received his primary education. The inquisitive student sought to expand his knowledge in every possible way, in particular, memorized many legends and authentic historical facts related to the origin of his hometown, which also allows us to consider the genesis of personality, as well as the formation and then recognition of I. K. Aivazovsky as an artist and public figure, based on the concept of “psychogeography”. Psychogeography is determined as the dominant factor of creativity and social activity of I. K. Aivazovsky. The lands of Feodosia are the most important historical and artistic space of I. K. Aivazovsky from the 1820s to 1900. The proof of this is his historical-religious, landscape works, his foundation of the “Cimmerian school of Painting”, his works on the improvement of Feodosia. Two elements — the sea and the city — were perceived inseparably as the source of the philosophy of creativity, activity, giving the genesis of the psychogeography of his life in the scenery of the seaside town.

The paper examines the peculiarities of the formation of an environment with ethnic markers in the space of Bulgarian logging villages in the Udora district of the Komi Republic in the 70–80-ies of the twentieth century. The relevance of the research is determined by the issue of fixing the historical context and preserving the monuments of fine art reflecting the epoch and the communicative features of various cultural layers, as well as the interaction of personal and collective memory. The aim of the study is to identify the mechanisms of visual image formation in the international and national content of Bulgarian art in the Komi Republic. The authors payspecial attention to the culture of memory in relation to other commemorative practices based on the visualization of the objective world and cultural landscape. The importance of this topic is explained by the active movement of people between cities and countries and the erasing of spatial boundaries of the cultural landscape in the conditions of Soviet ideological attitudes of internationalism, in which national peculiarities are preserved, while a tolerant relationship in society is established. The results obtained allowed identifying the sources and conditions of formation of the spatial environment in Bulgarian workers' settlements and analyzing the context of national and international features of architectural structures and monumental painting and sculpture in the cultural landscape. The authors come to the conclusion that the Bulgarian workers' settlements of the Komi Republic attest to the fact that visual agitation in combination with other works of art was an effective means of shaping a cultural landscape with ethnic markers in terms of the international content.

The authors provide generalization and typification of the Russian economic culture historical characteristics, within their three “reevaluations” in the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries: capitalist, socialist and “returnable” capitalist. This work is carried out on the basis of an analysis of the traditional features of the cultural and historical development of Russia, their economic significance in the light of the basic concepts of the generic quality of economic culture: attitudes towards labor, private property, wealth and consumption, manifested in adequate phenomena. On this theoretical and methodological basis, the phenomena of traditional (feudal) economic culture are presented “in their pure form” and conceptually systematized, including their pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet transformations. Taking into account the essential inconsistency of the domestic economic culture at all stages of the historical existence of its qualitative, generic unity as the foundation of species transformations, the conclusion is drawn about the quality of the present transitional state of economic culture as mutational. The study suggests an interdisciplinary methodology of its modern “reformatting” — sorting and new “assembling” of phenomena of all historical types of this culture (preserving the necessary, stopping the “harmful” and forming the new ones) as a prospect of its modernization, adequate to the tasks of sustainable development of Russia in modern conditions.

The paper analyzes archaic and borrowed elements of the tradition among the Serbs in the south of the region of Negotin, where they live in the neighboring villages with Vlach ones. Over the past two centuries, contacts between the Serbs and Vlachs (Romanians by origin) have been so intensive that this has affected even the most conservative part of ritual and magical practice: the funeral and memorial rites. Among the archaic elements of culture the paper focuses on spells and ritual-magical amulets the analysis of which showed that in the verbal part of the spells the common South Slavic basis is preserved, and associates with the pronouncing of the dialogue-ritual by two persons — performers of the rite (which N. I. Tolstoy studied in detail). Borrowed vocabulary from the Romanian folk tradition appears in the funeral rituals and folk medicine. Such terminological vocabulary includes the designation of a participant in a ritual dialogue who witnesses the sending of food and water to the dead martula, marturija; names like padura that refers to the Romanian folk beliefs of the forest spirits, etc. The materials analyzed in the study were collected by the author during the field survey in March 2023 of the southern part of the Negotinsky region (the villages of Brachevatc, Roglevo, Smedovatc, Rayatc) in the Timok River valley: both from oral conversations with informants and from local history publications, which in one way or another highlight the language, folk culture, folklore and history of the region.

The city is a natural expression of human civilization, and it is the only place where the formation of man could have begun. The temple was the city`s heart, it was there that the deified fire and, consequently, life itself was kept alive. There are two versions of the temple-city: the immaculate virgin-city (Jerusalem) and the sinful harlot-city (Babylon), and respectively two versions of their destiny: Kitezh or Atlantis. The space of the Tver region, including the cities whose destiny is connected with water, is constantly being mythologized. In legends like that of the invisible city of Kitezh they tell about churches or villages that went under water, not specifying the causes of these phenomena, or stressing out that these catastrophes came to be a punishment for unnamed sins. According to a legend of the early 2000s Kitezh-grad (the Kitezh-city, now no longer having anything in common with the virgin-city) was located exactly in the Tver region, on the bank of the Mologa river in the Maksatikhinsky district. However, by now, after the death of its author, this legend has ceased to be relevant and is found only in the documents of the 2000s. In contrast with the Tver Kitezh, the phrase the Tver Atlantis has recently become more and more stable in the Tver region as a tourist brand. This concept is applied to the cities that were flooded during the construction of hydroelectric power stations on the Volga river: Korcheva, Kalyazin, the bell tower of which spawned a number of legends, and Vesyegonsk. The Tver “Atlantis” was no harlot, and died not for its sins, but on the orders of the Soviet government. Therefore, the national consciousness confers to the submerged places the qualities of sanctity and purity. The Tver Kitezh is not the virgin-Kitezh, and it perishes for its sins, while the Tver Atlantis is not the harlot-Atlantis, and the stories of the flooded cities contain no hints of their sinfulness; on the contrary, emphasis is made on their holiness and righteousness. We cannot say that invariant mythological models have been forgotten, but they are working in the opposite direction. This change can be explained by the fact that the relocation of residents and the flooding of cities did not take place “by God’s will”, but on the decision of the worldly authority, and that their residents did not view those facts as a punishment for their sins. The way of thinking remains mythological, even though people are not aware of the fact.

The relevance of the present research is determined by the ambiguity of understanding the issue of “one's own-another's” in relation to the boundaries of the world defined by the native language. Suppose that “any language can be learned in such a way” that we will not need translation and will be able to “think in this language” [7, p. 448]. However, will it be the same as in Russian? Is it possible to master a foreign language by making it your own? The paper suggests looking at the “wars of languages” as the idea of Noomachia (deep “war of minds”) and tries to find its traces. The author discovers the grammatical features of the Russian and English languages and interprets them as their own logos structures of languages. They manifest themselves in syntax (chaos vs order), in the way a person speaks the world (statement vs sentence), in the difference between the philosophical limit of possessiveness (“linguistic property vs obedience”) and “grammatical centers” (verb vs noun). They express ontological and philosophical-anthropological and socio-cultural aspects of mental linguistic differences and metaphysically conflicting combinations of Logos of Noomachia. Russian is dominated by Dionysian and Apollonian, in English — Apollonian and Cybelic, which is reflected in the psycho-emotional constitution of Russians and Englishmen and cultural and linguistic norms. English is the “language of time”, Russian is the “language of space”. Russian language and mentality are qualitative, English is quantitative. Language “carries” some, others are its “carriers”. English reduces being to existing material things, Russian — breaks through to the being. The scale of these differences is so great that it allows their interpretation in terms of the speculative hypothesis of Noomachia in relation to the sphere of language.

The paper addresses the topic of monuments and memorials of the Great Patriotic War located in Azerbaijan. The author notes that a large number of memorials dedicated to the memory of fallen compatriots — heroes of the Second World War are concentrated in the cities and towns of the republic. Most of these monuments were erected in the 70s of the past century, especially on the eve of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the great victory over fascism. Today, like many years ago, these monuments are in good condition, as local authorities are taking care of them. Almost all of them were restored during the years of independence and acquired new artistic and aesthetic qualities. The research deals with memorial complexes, monuments and obelisks located in large cities and regions of Azerbaijan — in Ganja, Sumgait, Lankaran, in Gazakh, Barda, Oguz and other regions. Analyzing these monuments, the author comes to the conclusion that most of them are characterized by the originality of the creative concept, expressiveness and dynamics of the pictorial language, a successful combination of the artistic significance of the compositional solution with its ideological and moral content. Many of them are the best ac39hievements of the monumental fine arts of Azerbaijan to this day.

The paper explores theoretical and methodological direction in the research of the literary estate and dacha of the 20–21 centuries and examines one of the issues of their scientific thesaurus — the ratio of the categories “estate text” and “estate overtext”. The definition of the “estate text”, introduced into scientific circulation by V. G. Shchukin in the 1990s, is considered by analogy with the “Petersburg text” by V. N. Toporov, which is based on the text-forming myth about Peter I and St. Petersburg. Despite of the V. G. Shchukin's statement about the obligatory presence of the elegiac-idyllic myth of the “noble nest” in the basis of the “estate text” of Russian literature, in the scientific literary practice of the turn of the 21th century, all works developing an estate theme, without exception, including those opposing the myth began to be interpreted as an “estate text”. Soon the concept of “estate overtext” was introduced, combining topics and mythopoetics into a single series of works about the estate of the 18–21 centuries. The actual synonymy of the terms “estate text” and “estate overtext” generated the question of the redundancy of the latter. However, the study suggests to preserve this term by filling it with semantics relevant to the new quality of the “estate” literature of the 20 and the beginning of the 21th century, referring either to a reformatted in new socio-cultural conditions, or to an absent estate. The categories of “estate habitus”, “estateness” and “crypto-estate mythology” become the tools for analyzing of the “estate overtext” in its new understanding.
本文探讨了20-21世纪文学庄园与别墅研究的理论和方法方向，并对其科学同义词库中的一个问题——“庄园文本”与“庄园超文本”类别的比例问题进行了探讨。“遗产文本”的定义由V. G. Shchukin于20世纪90年代引入科学流通，与V. N. Toporov的“彼得堡文本”进行类比，后者基于关于彼得一世和圣彼得堡的文本形成神话。尽管v.g. Shchukin在俄国文学的“地产文本”的基础上提出了“贵族巢”的挽歌-田园诗神话的必然存在，但在21世纪初的科学文学实践中，所有发展地产主题的作品，包括反对地产神话的作品，无一例外地开始被解读为“地产文本”。很快，“地产超文本”的概念被引入，将主题和神话学结合成一个关于18-21世纪地产的单一系列作品。“地产文本”和“地产超文本”的实际同义词产生了后者的冗余问题。然而，该研究建议保留这一术语，将其与20世纪和21世纪初“遗产”文学的新质量相关的语义填满，指的是在新的社会文化条件下重新格式化的，或者是缺席的遗产。“地产习惯”、“地产性”和“地产神话”等范畴成为分析“地产超文本”的新理解的工具。
