Russian History

The State and the legalist press: 40 years under pressure (1864–1904)

Rybin D.

Аннотация

In the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries, the legalist (juridical) press played a prominent role in the Russian liberation movement. Its leading publications professed the principles of legality and law and order. In fact, the term “Order” itself appeared thanks to the newspaper of the same name, and supporters of legalism were called “people of legal order”. Despite the objectively statist nature of the legalist press, the conservative part of the bureaucracy could not accept these moderately progressive ideas and in the 1880s went on the offensive against legalist publications. Part of the legal press was closed, the other survived under heavy daily censorship pressure.

Sidorchuk I.

Аннотация

The article shows the scale of the problem of tram accidents in early Soviet cities, identifies its causes, proposed and implemented measures to eliminate them, and assesses their effectiveness. The main factors of the disasters were disregard for safety rules, mistakes of the tram drivers, a small number of tram cars and their poor quality. Despite a number of measures taken, the issue of creating a safe urban transport system could not be resolved in the unstable economic and social conditions of the 1920s.

The image of Tigran II the Great in Movses Khorenatsi’s “History of Armenia”

Khachatryan T.

Аннотация

The article examines the image of the king of Great Armenia Tigran II the Great in the work of the “Father of Armenian historiography” Movses Khorenatsi “History of Armenia”. When writing the chapters dedicated to Tigran II, Movses relied primarily on the writings of Josephus, as well as two “Chronicles” – Julius Africanus and Eusebius of Caesarea. At the same time, he filled in the lack of information with the help of legendary material and fictitious details. In general, the image of Tigran intertwines the features of several figures – Tigran himself, Artashes I, as well as his sons – Tigran and Artavazd. In turn, many of the deeds of Tigranes II are attributed to Tigranes I Ervandid, who lived in the 6th century BC. It is him, and not Tigran II, that Movses considers the greatest of the Armenian kings. As for Tigranes II, he acts as the main opponent of the Romans in those cases when it comes to Roman-Parthian military clashes, and Parthia is not mentioned at all. On the basis of analysing several chapters of the “History of Armenia”, observations are made that some stories described by the historian significantly distort real events, but at the same time Movses Khorenatsi acquaints researchers with the views prevailing among the educated Armenian population at the turn of Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Main foreign policy characteristics of European dwarf states in the 20th century

Alimova-Nefedova M.

Аннотация

This article explores the key features of the foreign policy of four European dwarf states that managed to retain their status as independent political and territorial entities by the start of the 20th century: the Principality of Andorra, the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Principality of Monaco, and the Most Serene Republic of San Marino. The study highlights how, due to their similarities in size and historical circumstances, these states’ foreign policies not only share common traits, but have also evolved in similar ways over time. The article concludes that while there are some parallels between the foreign policies of these dwarf states and other small countries, their strategies, concepts, and instruments are distinct and tailored to their specific contexts.

The Ukrainian crisis and modern international law

Cholakhyan A., Cholakhyan V.

Аннотация

The article presentsthe historical and legal aspects ofthe Ukrainian crisis inthe context ofthe development ofmodern international law. The events in Ukraine in 2014–2024 actualized many institutions of modern international law: the hierarchy of principles of territorial integrity of states and the right of peoples to self-determination, the problem of secession and the role of referendums in the creation of new independent states, the issue of their recognition in the international arena and the protection of compatriots abroad. The weak codification of the norms of law, their different interpretations and the lack of ready-made solutions to the challenges of our time indicate that modern international law represents a kind of balance, the balance of power in international relations, which can change depending on various factors. The author’s analysis shows that the new realities of the modern world are making adjustments in the interpretation of the issues of secession, the role and recognition of referendums for independence. The concept of “Separation in the name of salvation” is one of the modern manifestations of the relationship between the principle of universal respect for human rights and the principle of the right of peoples to self-determination.

Varfolomeev A.

Аннотация

The article is devoted to the problems of social unrest caused by cholera epidemics in Russia in the 19th century. The subject of the author’s research is regional problems, namely the events that took place in the Saratov province, which still remain poorly studied in historiography. Based on the analysis of documentary materials stored in the State Archives of the Saratov Region, the causes and consequences of the “cholera riots” in the Saratov province are revealed. Social unrests, which had obvious features of a pogrom, showed a high level of mistrust in the anti-cholera measures taken by the authorities.

Slizhevskaya M.

Аннотация
