In the article the authors scrutinize writings by Japanese politician and public figure Uchida Ryohei (1874-1937) which are dedicated to the Russian Empire and the "Manchurian question." Uchida's writings were found in the collections of the Russian State Military Historical Archive and the National Diet Library of Japan. The hypothesis of the article is that Uchida Ryohei was one of the main ideologists and creators of Russophobiс stereotypes and myths in the Japanese Empire. It was around Uchida Ryohei that proponents of anti-Russian views and people who were impatient to start the war against the Russian Empire united. The article goes on to demonstrate that Uchida Ryohei's writings and political activities played a key role in the initiation of the Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905) and in shaping a negative image of Russia in Japanese public opinion at the beginning of the 20th century. What's more, Uchida's cultural heritage is still in demand in modern Japan.

Lamansky (1825-1902) and a supporter of the "new Slavic worldview", leader of the Serbian "Radical Party" Lubomir Stojanovic (1860-1930), which unfolded in the journal "Slavyanskyy vek" (Vienna, 1900-1904). The analysis of their argumentation makes it possible to understand the transformations that took place in the ideology of Pan-Slavism in the early 20th century, to explain the revival of the interest in the "Slavic idea" at the turn of the century, and to characterize Pan-Slavism as "cultural and economic" phenomenon in the early the 20th century.

Показывается, как появилась идеология «иллиризма» и как выросший вокруг нее миф не ушел в прошлое, а продолжает быть значимым фактором современной политики на Балканах. Обращение к «иллирийскому мифу» является аргументом в многочисленных «войнах памяти» между молодыми балканскими государствами, помогая им выстраивать собственную политику памяти и национальной идентичности.

The phenomenon of national identity of modern Russian and Serbian youth, is of particular interest to comprehend. These two countries have experienced the transit of power and the transformation of collective self-images in the early 90s and have a lot in common: cultural and linguistic ties; the experience of living in the Soviet political system; the collective trauma of the statehood collapse and the following growth of nationalism. On the other hand, many of those factors are obviously being transformed. Thus, at the current stage, the common Slavic identity is losing its former ideological-theoretical and value-semantic content. The hypothesis of the study is that the ideas, meanings, and values that form the basis of the Slavic identity can become one of the factors of the consolidation of Russian and Serbian society, especially in the context of formation of the national-state identity of modern youth. In addition, the dominants of public consciousness and value-semantic matrices identified in the research will make it possible to build a productive dialogue between our countries that have a similar civilizational code. This is of relevance in the current situation of international tension, which will have long-term consequences.

The project’s name was «Russian-Serbian relations: opportunities and limitations». In the conducted research, the following topics were analyzed: limitations concerning formal institutions and informal practices in the social and political life of Serbia and Russia, the foreign policy of the two countries and their priorities in current international relations, including relations with the EU, bilateral economic, energy and military relations, as well as scientific and technological cooperation. The conclusions reached by the researchers on this project are presented in eight points.

Книга, подготовленная коллективом авторов под руководством Л.П.Репиной, предлагает взглянуть на феномен взаимодействия «интеллектуалов» и «власти» в Британии и России через призму анализа дискурсивных практик «эпохи перемен» (XVII–XVIII вв.). Важность проекта заключается в том, что без понимания «значимого Другого», каким является, с одной стороны, Британия для России, а с другой — Россия для Британии, нашим странам невозможно будет понять и самих себя.

Each of them has tried to build their own memory politics and national identity, opposing themselves to the onceunited socialist state. Nevertheless, (post) Yugoslav memory has not disappeared from the social and political discourse of the former Soviet republics, remaining to exist as a “memory knot” and surpass the borders of the (post) Yugoslav states. One of the key features of the memory politics in all the former Yugoslav republics was the denial of the communist past and the core political myth underlying Yugoslavia’s identity – the myth of World War II. Revisionist politics and “memory wars” made it possible for some time to dull the pain of the recent collective trauma of the 1990s. In the long term, however, memory politics like these will stand in the way of the achievement of consensus and harmony in society, generating instead a new surge of nationalism and an escalation of social conflict.

Тема памяти стала ведущей в исследованиях социально-гуманитарного толка. При этом одновременно с этим происходит и политизация феномена памяти, который перестает быть сугубо философской темой. Одним из «узлов памяти» современного общества является тема Второй мировой войны. Ревизионистские тенденции в интерпретациях ее причин и последствий особенно сильны в странах Центральной и Восточной Европы, которые находятся в процессе конструирования собственной национальной идентичности. Не стали исключением и славянские страны, где память о войне и роль «славянского движения» в ней становятся как никогда актуальны. Именно поэтому в данной статье предпринята попытка проследить эволюцию отношения к славянскому движению и идее славянской взаимности – от возвращения славянской темы в историографию до политической институализации славянского движения.

At the same time, at all times, the task of historians has been to organize the historical narrative, embed selected facts and events into it, and form a certain historical optics. In Russia, too, there is a historical policy based on a long tradition, the beginning of which can be attributed to the 12th century. Its heyday falls on the 16th — 17th centuries. Using this example, the article proves the validity of the study of historical politics in this or earlier epochs.

The ideological inspirer of "Scythians" was I. V. Ivanov-Razumnik (1878-1946). Combining on its pages the ideas of outstanding representatives of the Silver age (L. Shestov, V. Bryusov, N. Klyuyev, A. Bely, E. Zamyatin, etc.), the almanac became the quintessence of the "scythianism" ideology. This ideology regarded the Russian revolution as a national anti-bourgeois movement with messianic significance for the whole world. The new reissue of the book was initiated by the writer, Director of the "Lev Gumilev Center" and the leader of the "New Scythians" movement-Pavel Zarifullin. This article is a review of the new reissue of "Scythians", which includes two literary and political manifestos of generations-the past (old "Scythians") and the present ("New Scythians").

Важным этапом научной деятельности Центра стала публикация коллективной монографии «Прошлое для настоящего: История-память и нарративы национальной идентичности» (2020), вышедшей в серии «Образы истории» московского издательства «Аквилон». Работа над этой книгой объединила представителей разных научных и учебных организаций страны. Тезис «прошлое для настоящего» в книге развернут в научный манифест, смысл которого определяется нераздельностью истории и памяти, признанием важной роли историографических традиций и школ в формировании национальной идентичности. Внимательное прочтение книги позволяет говорить о том, что современные гуманитарные...
