Автор продолжает серию статей по этнической и конфессиональной истории Причерноморья. Крым и Таманский полуостров издревле для многих народов были олицетворением единения Европы и Азии. Именно отсюда началось приобщение народов Восточной Европы к христианству. Именно здесь в VIII-IX вв. разворачивалось острое противостояние между готами-христианами и хазарами-иудеями. Все эти процессы запечатлены в памятниках архитектуры и археологии, объектах историко-культурного наследия.The author continues a series of articles on the ethnic and confessional history of the Black Sea region. For centuries, the Crimea and the Taman Peninsula have represented for many peoples the unity of Europe and Asia. This is where the introduction of the peoples of Eastern Europe to Christianity began. This is where in the VIII-IX centuries a sharp confrontation between the Christian Goths and the Khazars-Jews took place. All the processes are reflected in monuments of architecture and archeology, objects of historical and cultural heritage.

Статья посвящена проблеме недостаточной изученности дендрологических памятников Черноморского побережья Кавказа в их историческом и археологическом контексте. Исследование проведено в рамках полевых научно-исследовательских работ по изучению взаимосвязи истории и современности. В результате анализа новых научных данных определена важность археологических и дендрологических памятников в различных аспектах историко-культурного наследия. Выявлена значимость изучаемых объектов для укрепления межэтнических, межкультурных и межконфессиональных коммуникаций этнических групп сочинской агломерации и региона в целом.An important but insufficiently studied direction in the field of significant historical and archaeological monuments is dendrological monuments of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, which, in essence, form a sacred network. Sacred groves and individual trees, despite the urbanisation of the territories, are still preserved and continue to attract great attention of the population. The issue of sacred groves and individual trees has been repeatedly considered in various research articles, but the novelty of this study is that the objects under consideration are monuments in which the connection of material historical and archaeological sites and trees is obvious. The sacred groves and trees described by the first European travellers on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus are currently partially preserved. Unfortunately, the oak grove in Sochi on Mount Batareika is lost, which has been not only described, but also captured in sketches. The grove was a symbiosis of pagan and Christian beliefs since iron crosses revered by the highlanders hung on the branches of the trees. Presumably, these crosses are preserved from the Christian temple destroyed by time. In Sochi, on the sacred mountain of Bytkha near the Ubykhs, there is a patriarch linden. Ethnographic research scientifically confirms the worship of Bytkha. Archaeological evidence also shows this. The linden is located in the medieval settlement. De facto, at the moment, the location of the linden is a veneration of various ethnic groups. The situation in the Golovinka village is extremely interesting. There, on the right bank of the Shakh River, grows a giant tulip tree. Its height is more than 32 meters, and the trunk diameter at a height of 1.3 m from the ground is 2.88 meters. Despite conflicting studies, it should be noted that they all, despite disagreements, achieve and pursue the same goals: the preservation of historical and cultural heritage. By the example of the facts listed in the article, it becomes obvious that the monuments of the dendrological and at the same time historical and cultural heritage that have passed through the centuries have a pronounced sacred meaning. Despite the migration processes in the region and the changes in the ethnic composition of the population, these unique objects continue to remain relevant in strengthening intercultural, interethnic, and even interfaith communications.

Numerous and multidimensional problems of the modern world have a self-evident, but not always obvious, geographical conditionality and spatial reflection, which are the objects of interest of specialists. At the same time, the geographical approach to understanding the global problems of humanity and their multiscale nature is inseparable from the historical approach, and historic-geographical research is an integral factor in a comprehensive scientific search. This approach allows us to represent historic-geographical landscapes as integral natural and anthropogenic geosystems, to understand their structure and patterns of development. A comprehensive historic-geographical search integrates the knowledge gained in various scientific fields, and provides the basis for further geographical, historical, ethnographic, cultural and other scientific and practical research. Cartographic methods serve as the cornerstone of the historic-geographical approach, the application of which within the framework of complex research allows us to solve important scientific problems and find reliable answers to numerous questions that arise when systematizing knowledge about the natural and cultural heritage. Comprehensive studies based on this multiscale approach were carried out at the macro-regional level as part of a special geographical and cultural analysis of the Mediterranean-Black Sea region (high-precision mapping and generalization, determining the place of the Black Sea in the framework of the Great Mediterranean), toponymic surveys (transferred geographical names within Central, Eastern Europe and the Balkans), in the North-Western Black Sea region — at the meso- and micro-regional level — for the historic-geographical landscape of the Middle Dniester, characterized by weak urbanization processes, but extremely high concentration of monuments of natural and cultural heritage, the formation of which is due to both the border and the connecting role of the river (interdisciplinary studies of unique architectural monuments in Rashkov, Vad-Rashkov, Vasilkov, etc.), as well as for the urbanized central part of Moldavia (the reconstruction of the historic-geographical landscape of medieval Kishinev based on the use of a combination of traditional and innovative methods, which allowed to identify the location of medieval fortifications and their influence on the existing buildings).

<p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>Trabzon, which is located on the shore of Black Sea and one of the oldest centers in Anatolia, has included many cultural heritage factors due to its historical importance and background. Mosques have an important role in shaping cultural heritage of the region. One of them is a wooden mosque which located in Bolumlu suburban area at Of District in Trabzon province. The wooden mosque is one of the historical and important models in Anatolia in terms of wooden material use in the traditional architecture. The wooden material which has an important role in Black Sea Region's building culture was widely and ingeniously used on bearing systems and other components of Bolumlu Mithat Pasha Mosque. The objective of this study is to examine and promotion of this mosque’s architectural properties and discussion of current situation of this mosque. </p><p><strong>Öz </strong></p><p>Trabzon, geçirdiği tarihsel süreç nedeniyle çok sayıda kültürel miras unsurunu bünyesinde barındırmaktadır.

The main aim of this paper is to examine the tangible forms of cultural heritage represented by European hospital buildings from states across the Black Sea that are still functional or have been closed, and that are subjected, due to the lack of sustainable financial means for conservation and restoration, to degradation, abandonment, and destruction. For the purpose of this analysis, I will tackle both elements of the operational plan of hospital buildings that have been evaluated and registered as national monuments, from the perspective of their clinical functionality, and the elements of architecture and aesthetic forms behind such structures that embrace medical canons and particularities. Therefore, hospitals will be treated as entities of tangible cultural heritage that develop, through their complementary medical and cultural history, forms of intangible cultural heritage.This wide range of buildings can be reduced to two operational categories: hospital buildings designed from the beginning to fulfil a clinical functionality, and cultural buildings – from ecumenical establishments, castles, or villas, such as hermitages and churches, to military structures, such as garrisons – which have been adapted for historical, social, or political reasons to clinical conversion. I will analyse not only the national constraints, prejudgments, and values that contributed to a certain medical and cultural imaginary of state hospitals as monuments, but also the similar strategies and cultural policies that different states across the Black Sea have adopted in preserving the memory and structure of these buildings. The main question I address is: To what extent is it possible to create a network Black Sea region state hospitals as European cultural monuments, and what advantages might this bring to the attempt to perform a more reflective and inclusive notion of European identity? The current research is designed to be a starting point for the development of transectorial public policies, which could lead to an improvement in standards for quality of life, the infrastructures of medical units, and the preservation of tangible forms of cultural heritage, such as the public state hospitals classified as monuments.
