In connection with the last-mentioned point, at the time of writing the current review, the Russian higher education system has entered another phase of turmoil and isolation, with a considerable number of cases over recent years of academic staff and students being expelled from institutions in connection with their political and social stances, an exodus of academics from Russia in order to avoid persecution because of their position over the war in Ukraine, and the suspension of Russia’s membership in the Bologna Process following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The process of future rehabilitation of the Russian HE system will require a deeper set of changes in the culture of Russian HE if it is to readopt a path towards supporting democratic developments in the country, and ensuring that academic freedom and independence are restored as central features of the Russian university in the twenty-first century.

Abstract:Vladimir Bartol's novel Alamut (1938) is currently the most famous Slovene novel. Its motto 'nothing is true, everything is permitted' has become part of global pop culture, especially thanks to its adoption by the successful video-game franchise Assassin's Creed, which cites the novel as its fundamental inspiration. In the literary-critical reception of Alamut, much attention has been paid to the origin of the phrase, which we find in nearly identical form in Nietzsche, and with greater or lesser variations also in Dostoevskii. This article traces the history of the statement and its interpretations — from Russian (Tolstoi, Merezhkovskii, Shestov, Berdiaev) via French (Gide, de Lubac, Sartre, Camus) to Slovene ones (Vidmar, Bartol) — and shows that even before Dostoevskii and Nietzsche, a decisive role in its formation and popularization in European thought was played by Orientalist debates in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Abstract:Nikolai Gogol´ (1809–52) showed a fascination with clothes in both his life and his fictional writing. This article examines how he used clothing in his Petersburg stories to explore the relationship between the individual and imperial society. Imperial power was perpetuated through uniform and fashion dress codes by means of the processes of metonymy and mimesis. In Gogol´'s St Petersburg, these processes pose a danger to the individual, but also provide some limited opportunities for self-expression.
