This article is another attempt to comprehend such a phenomenon as the "Volga text". The image of the Volga have been repeatedly studied, but there is still no total research that gives a full and complete reply to the question: What is the Volga text? Especially it concerns A.K. Goldebaevs creative heritage, who remains a little-known or unknown writer for the literary world. In addition, the very phenomenon of the Samara text (the Volga text is its important part) has not been fully studied. All this indicates the undoubted relevance and novelty of the study, the purpose of which is to consider the features of the Volga image functioning in the plots of the works by Goldebaev, M. Gorky, S.G. Petrov and F.D. Kryukov. The leading research methods have been synchronic, diachronic, comparative and structural ones. The empirical material comprised such works as "Foma Gordeev", "Through the Line", "Without Fire", "Summer Vacation". The choice of these texts is reasoned by the fact that Goldebaevs documents, stored in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, have been found to have extracts, made from them, containing description of the Volga only. And Goldebaevs story is the only work known to the author of the article, which contains a description of the Volga. The article concludes that it is not entirely correct to define Goldebaev's story as a Volga text: the Volga just locates the plot there and hardly participates in the construction.
本文是理解“伏尔加文本”这一现象的又一尝试。伏尔加河的形象已经被反复研究，但仍然没有一个完整的研究给出一个完整的回答这个问题:伏尔加河的文本是什么?特别是关于A.K.戈尔德巴耶夫的创作遗产，他仍然是文学界鲜为人知或不为人知的作家。此外，萨马拉文本(伏尔加文本是其重要组成部分)的现象尚未得到充分研究。所有这些都表明了这项研究的相关性和新见性，其目的是考虑伏尔加形象在戈尔德巴耶夫、M.高尔基、S.G.彼得罗夫和F.D.克鲁科夫作品情节中的功能特征。主要的研究方法有共时法、历时法、比较法和结构法。实证材料包括《Foma Gordeev》、《Through The Line》、《Without Fire》、《Summer Vacation》等作品。选择这些文本的理由是，存放在俄罗斯国家文学和艺术档案馆的戈尔德巴耶夫的文件被发现有摘录，其中只包含对伏尔加河的描述。这篇文章的作者只知道戈尔德巴耶夫的故事，这篇文章包含了对伏尔加河的描述。文章的结论是，将戈尔德巴耶夫的故事定义为伏尔加文本并不完全正确:伏尔加只是将情节定位在那里，几乎没有参与建设。

The purpose of the article is to outline the approaches to the comprehension of the travelogue genre dynamics by exploring the modification ways of some conventional features in the latest samples of the genre. So, the lack of analytical procedures in this field of literary theory is filled. Structural-analytical, hermeneutical methods, and the method of motivic analysis were used. A. Ulanovs essays as an empirical material represent a trend towards aesthetic and intellectual search in the modern literature. The number and dispersion of loci described in the essays, as well as the similarity of style and theme, create the effect of a wide coverage of the space. The realias that the traveller sees and describes in other cities, countries and continents is not perceived as the alien, since the author has prior knowledge about it and ponders deeply and non-trivially on what he sees, presenting it in original forms. Reflection generated by the authors experience of exploring space does not dominate over a close look at the world and the Other. The subjectivity of multifaceted observations and reasoning is built up due to particular aesthetic fullness. An important role in this regard is played by the images of stone and water, which lead to the theme of time and memory, perceived as a touch to the past. The rejection of the de-individualized practice of visiting attractions and the tourist/traveller dichotomy are clearly visible. There is a postmodern irony towards historical reconstruction, the possibility of touching the past is developed through subjective peering and reflection.

The aim of this article is to explore the discrediting influence on individuals and conceptualize the notion of "discreditation". The author argues that discreditation is a primary phenomenon preceding discrimination and is particularly relevant in terms of the development of Deepfake technologies. The article examines the genealogy of the concept of discreditation, its emergence theological and economic conditions, as well as the psychoanalytic and philosophical teachings of J. Lacan and L. Althusser on interpellation and discourses. The author shows that desacralized discreditation precedes discrimination and is subject to paradoxes. The conclusion is drawn that a subject, increasingly vulnerable to discreditation, needs strategies for possible and subsequent accreditation.

The article covers the qualitative analyses results of students essays that represent the events of the formative context, which determined values and modal personality of this generation. The goal of this article is to reveal the main categories that the homelander generation uses to represent the generation formative context. The Samara University students essays, written since 2017 to 2022, have been used as empirical material for this research. A. Strauss triple qualitative coding has been used as a method. The study has found, that the students represent generation formative context by three categories: as a set of conditions for their further self-development, as events that reflect the formative period ambivalent character, and as the border period across two eras.

The article analyzes the digitalization impact on the subject's thinking ability in general and on the formation of critical thinking skills, in particular. The advantages and disadvantages of informational and postmodern approaches in such an analysis are revealed. It is proved that an adequate analysis of the digitalization impact is possible only if we understand the inclusion of this process in the axiological context of the human existence.

The article considers one of the aspects of depicting Samara in the novel by A.N. Tolstoy The Eighteenth Year (19271928), namely the use of Notes on the 1918 Czechoslovak Rebellion to show the battles on the city streets in June 1918, which are now kept as part of the writer's archive in the Manuscript Department of the A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature under RAS. Tolstoy re-conceptualized the information and supplemented it with artistic images to describe the events and give them historical reliability. The article gives examples of the writer's work with documentary materials that were reflected both in the chronological context of the narrative and in single episodes of the novel.

The source of the formation of basic skills for young children is the environment that is created by surrounding adults. Modern children are introduced and seduced by mobile devices in infancy. Most often, parents use gadgets as a universal way to calm or entertain the child in order to save time for work or leisure. Touch screens and visual interfaces allow young children to interact with devices in a more responsive way than it is possible in the physical world. The experiences gained in the digital reality is carried over to the offline world, from the naive ways of interacting with the physical reality, demonstrated by infants, to the transfer of such of behavior norms as the ability to return and undo actions. The knowledge and skills related to digital resources and games are becoming more important than knowledge about the surrounding world. Voice assistants not only allow children to use the Internet without being literate, but also actively interact with the infant as a babysitter. Such communication allows children to draw a conclusion about their anthropomorphism, and, in general, contributes to uncritical immersion in the digital reality much earlier, than they are able to comprehend and realize it that dictates new ways of existence. Such an early and positive acquaintance with digital technologies gives the new generation trust and confidence in the inviolability of the technogenic world

Abstract In this paper, I would like to examine, within a semiotic framework, two contrasting views of the contemporary culture of Japan – which is still relatively little-known outside its own shores. First, there is the outsider’s view, according to which Japan is firmly situated in the “Far East”. This is the usual interpretant of subject-sign Japan, which is taken to refer – as its object-sign – to all that is different from the “West”: language, culture, society, manners, et cetera. In other words, this is Japan still masquerading as the “Mysterious East”. The second view of Japan is that of insiders: mostly ethnic Japanese – but with nearly 3 million residents of different ethnicities. Beginning in the mid-1800s, Japan set out to modernise itself. By the mid Meiji Period (1887), the government had adopted the slogan Datsu-A, Nyû-Ô, literally ‘Get out of Asia/embrace Europe’. As a result, in many areas (health care and longevity, income distribution, education, public safety, public and personal cleanliness, social politeness, respect for the law, architectural technology, precision manufacturing, and cuisine), Japan is in a league of its own. The object-signs of this newer Japan are all non-Asian aspects of Japanese culture. Their interpretant is the “Far West”.

Abstract The present article addresses the typical linguistic forms of Mandarin Chinese with regard to the grammatical gender of the language, for which the whole text is articulated in different segments that explain the nature of “feminine” and “masculine” in Chinese and their historical implications, taking into account how distant it may be for speakers of Indo-European languages. The study then discusses some examples of sinograms that use the “feminine” radical in their graphical materializations, which sometimes brings semantic connotations to the sinogram itself. In addition, the text reflects on the third-person pronoun in Mandarin and the historical evolution it has undergone. Finally, the article explains some sinograms that are used to mark gender, especially in relation to animals or animate beings.
