The following list summarizes the post-1970 laboratory results of 14C dating of ancient sea-level indicators from the coasts of the Soviet Union. One of the aims of the International Geologic Correlation Programme Project No. 61 “Sea level movements during the last deglacial hemicycle” is the global cataloguing and mapping of ancient sea levels. The laboratory, which acts as the USSR National curator for these age measurements obtains dates sampled from its own expeditions and from other institutions of the country.

First Results

There is a library of Soviet scientists Valery Nikolaevich Chernetsov (1905-1970) and Stanislava-Wanda Iosifovna Moshinskaya (1917-1980) in the collection of Tomsk State University Research Library. They have gathered library numbered more than 2000 volumes during their life. It includes various brochures, magazines, prints of articles, abstracts of theses and separate fundamental researches of XVIII-XX centuries on archeology, ethnography, linguistics, folklore studies, history, arts of East Europe, the Urals and Siberia in Russian, English, French, Hungarian, Serbian and Swedish languages. It was an operating library of scientists, which obtains traces of their work such as notes on book margins, sheets with records and photos between pages. Undoubted interest are autographs on books and brochures in studying both reading and communication circles of the Soviet scientists-humanists. The article considers the problem of this library formation. Dedicatory inscriptions on books, abstracts and prints of articles, as well as Valery Nikolaevich's autographs help to solve it. They became an initial cause of this investigation. As the scholars’ field of interests and research activity has been related to studying West Siberia, a considerable part of monographs, paper collections, magazines and prints of articles is devoted to this region. Their library is demanded by researchers, students and teachers of Tomsk State University historical and geographical faculties, as well as archeologists. Based on V. N. Chernetsov and V. I. Moshinskaya’s collection stored in Tomsk State University Library it is possible to track not only the process of its formation, but also to observe the ways of creating personal interrelations of scientists from different corners of the Soviet Union and other countries.

This article is concerned with the recognition and dating of Holocene relative sea-level changes along the coast of west Crete (an island located in the active Hellenic subduction arc of the southern Aegean) and in particular in Sphakia. Radiocarbon data for changes in sea levels collected and analysed previously must (a) be recorrected to take into account isotopic fractionation, and (b) recalibrated by using the new marine reservoir value. These new radiocarbon dates are analysed using Bayesian statistics. The resulting calendar dates for changes in sea level are younger than previously assumed. In particular the Great Uplift in western Crete in late antiquity must be dated to the fifth or sixth century AD, not to AD 365. Moreover, recent work on tectonics suggests that the Great Uplift need not have been accompanied by a catastrophic earthquake. Finally, we consider the consequences of the Great Uplift for some coastal sites in Sphakia.

On my third evening in Russia, the world changed. I was in Stavropol, a city founded by Prince Gregory Potemkin at the time of the American Revolution as one of ten fortresses to defend the borders of the expanding Russian Empire. To the south were the Caucasus, formidable mountains and myriad peoples. Stavropol grew as an administrative center of tsarist and later Soviet power. It briefly fell to the Wehrmacht in 1942 as the invading army drove unsuccessfully toward the oilfields of Baku. Later, a popular young party secretary from the area got noticed in Moscow, joined the Politburo, and in 1985 became general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms would inadvertently lead to a geopolitical earthquake, the end of the Cold War in Europe, and the unthinkable—the collapse of the Communist empire built by Lenin and Stalin. That evening the provost of Stavropol State University toasted the health of the international academics attending the conference starting the next morning. Many other benevolent toasts were exchanged, and a singularly somber one. A researcher with the Memorial Human Rights Center reminded us that a war raged nearby in Chechnya, an “inner abroad” of Russia. Here Russia’s new president had approved the indiscriminate shelling of a Russian city and a dirty war against citizens redefined as “terrorists.” Returning to our hotel that evening in a bus under armed guard, a Croatian friend and I were chatting when told to turn on the television. Russian television was broadcasting footage of airplanes crashing into skyscrapers in lower Manhattan on what seemed like a continuous loop. The full magnitude of what had happened was only apparent the next day. Like many, the Twin Towers were entwined with personal memories—first seeing them in rural Ireland on a pennant my uncle brought back from his vacation to New York, and later visiting the observation deck with my parents and friends. Furthermore, the attack on the Pentagon was only two miles from my home, a few more from where I worked, and all too close to some former students who worked in the building.

The article is devoted to the scientific, pedagogical and literary activities of Dmitry Filimonovich Krasitsky (1901–1989) – the great-grandson of the genius Kobzar, who in the early 40s. worked in the Dnipropetrovsk State University, as Vice-Rector of the Dnipropetrovsk State University (1943–1944), Head of the Pulpit History Peoples of the Soviet Union (1943–1946). He was patriot of his native language, as evidenced by the materials of the Museum of the History of the Oles Gonchar Dnipro National University. A member of the Writers’ Union of Ukraine (1960), a known writer who devoted almost his entire adult life to studying the biography and creative heritage of Taras Shevchenko. The insufficient development of the problem necessitated the involvement of documentary materials from the Museum of the History of the Oles Gonchar National National University, a rare book department, which made it possible to investigate the problem. It is noteworthy that after a fruitful stay at Dnepropetrovsk State University, D. F. Krasitsky in 1946 moved to Kiev, where he worked as director, and later deputy director of the house-museum, T. G. Shevchenko. For more than 20 years he was a member of the journal “People and Light”, a member of the methodical sonnet of the “Knowledge” society, published more than 500 articles and essays on the problems of literary and shevchenko science.
