History of the Faculty of Polish studies at Tartu University Slavic Studies in Tartu (Dorpat) came to existence at the beginning of the 19th century when Russian language and literature started to be taught here. Other Slavic languages and literatures were gradually being included in the curriculum. Polish Studies were initiated in 1883 by a distinguished Polish linguist J. Niecisław Baudouin de Courtenay. In the article the author discusses gradual development of Polish Studies, expanding Slavic courses, contribution of particular famous scholars mainly from Poland in the inter-war period. The author lists the most important research topics and highlights the Tartu scholars’ special interest in Kashubian matters. Currently the Faculty of Polish Studies is supported by the Polish Ministry of Education which delegates Polish lecturers to run classes and enables Estonian students to undergo their training in Poland as well as participate in language courses. The author presented important publications from the field of Polish Studies published in Tartu.

The religious writings of the Tatars constitute a valuable source for philological research due to the presence of heretofore unexplored grammatical and lexical layers of the north borderland Polish language of the 16th-20th centuries and due to the interference-related and transfer-related processes in the context of Slavic languages and Slavic-Oriental contacts. Therefore the basis for linguistic analyses is constituted by one of the most valuable monuments of this body of writing – the first translation of the Quran into a Slavic language in the world (probably representing the north borderland Polish language), which assumed the form of a tefsir. The source of linguistic analyses is constituted by the Olita tefsir, which dates back to 1723 (supplemented and corrected in the 19th century). On the basis of the material that was excerpted from this work the author presents both borderland features described in the subject literature and tries to point the new or only sparsely confirmed facts in the history of the Polish language, including the formation of the north borderland Polish language on the Belarusian substrate. Research involves all levels of language – the phonetic-phonological, morphological, syntactic and the lexical-semantic levels.

Abstract The author of the article applies synchronic and diachronic approach to describe consistent patterns in Russian word formation, when the facts in contemporary Russian are explained with due regard to the history of their development and formation. The research focuses on commonly used derivatives of the Church Slavic, which have not lost their sacred meaning despite the general secularization beyond religious discourse of evangelic lexis in Russian (as well as in other Slavic languages). The preservation of the sacred meaning is influenced by a specific process of differentiation between the sacred and the secular by means of word­building formants in cognate synonyms (for example, Рождество [‘Christmas’]/рождение [‘birth’]; житие [‘the life (of a saint)’]/житье [‘ordinary life’]; Воскресение [‘Resurrection’]/воскресенье [‘Sunday’]; искупить [‘to redeem’], Искупитель [‘the Redeemer’]/выкупить [‘to buy out’] etc.). The last section of the article considers the process of semantic specification in diachrony of originally synonymic cognate derivatives like живот [‘belly’], житие [‘the life (of a saint)’], жизнь [‘life’], which has led to a complete change of the semantics of the lexeme живот [‘belly’] (a gradual strengthening of its physical component has led to the modern meaning ‘belly, part of body’) and the prevalence of the word жизнь (with its Old Slavonic suffix ­знь). The latter, having absorbed the “life­related” semantic of lexemes живот ‘belly’ and житие ‘the life (of a saint)’, expresses all aspects of its understanding and interpretation by the contemporary language community. The author assumes that this process could also have been influenced by the general correlation between the Church Slavonicisms (both elevated and general denominations) and native Russian words (both concrete and ordinary denominations) in Russian. Word­building formants play a significant role in the differentiation of the sacred and the secular (and preserving the sacred) when the religious lexicon of the Church Slavonic origin enters the modern Russian language.

The author gives an overview on the history of a quarter of a century of the youngest foreign workshop of Hungarian studies, namely, Department of Hungarian Language and Literature of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Zagreb. The education on Hungarian studies started in Zagreb in 1944 and was precedented. At the University of Zagreb the Hungarian Language Department was functioning as early as the second half of the 19th century. Form 1904 to 1918, for almost one and a half century at the same place Hungarian language and literature was educated with the direction of professor Dr. Kázmér Greska. After the collapse of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy the representatives of the Croatian National Council radically put out professor Greska from the university and closed down the department. It was impossible to reorganize it in Yugoslavia between the two world wars. A new possibility came only after the independence of Croatia in 1994. The work in the department restarted on the basis of an interstate contract under the leadership of professor Dr. Milka Jauk-Pinhak and with the partnership of visiting teachers from Hungary. Today, under the management of Orsolya Žagar-Szentesi, 25-30 students start their studies at the department in each year. The function of the special college of translation of poetic works is outstanding. The department in 2002 celebrated the 900 years jubilee of the coronation of Kálmán Könyves as Croatian king with the representative volume of essays entitled Croato-Hungarica. The department was introduced in the „Hungarian issue” of the journal Književna smotra, the Zagreb journal of world literature in 2014 on the 20th jubilee of the department. Their latest publication is With heart and Soul/ Dušom i srcem Hungarian-Croatian Somatic Phraseology/ Mađarsko-hrvatski rječnik somatskih frazema (2018).

This article reviews biological and anthropological literatute on wild and tame Rangifer to demonstrate the powerful effect that this species has had on the imaginations of biologists, social scientists and local hunters. Through identifying a general 'human interest' in Rangifer, the author argues that there is great potential for these three communities to work together. To demonstrate this idea, the paper reviews several examples of successful and unsuccessful 'alliances' between local peoples and both natural and social scientists which have had a fundamental impact upon the history of these sciences. The paper examines recent theorerical models which suggest that human action is a major factor in the behaviour and ecology of the animals. The paper also analyses the ideas of many indigenous people for whom there is no categorical difference between semi-domesticated, semi-sedentary and migratory Rangifer through comparison with many 'anomalous' texts in English and Russian language wildlife biology. By reviewing the history of scholarly interest in Rangifer, the author argues that contemporary models of Rangifer behaviour and identity could be 'revitalised' and 'recalibrated' through the establishment of that dialogue between scientists and local peoples which so characterised the 19th century. Such a dialogue, it is argued, would help mediate many of the political conflicts now appearing in those districts where Rangifer migrate.

The article, based on the analysis of archival documents, highlights the motives that prompted the philologist, slavist, researcher of ancient Ukrainian literature and language Volodymyr Peretts to move from St. Petersburg to Kyiv. The process of election of a scientist to the position of Professor of the Department of Russian Language and Literature of Saint Volodymyr University in Kyiv is reflected. The source of the study are Volodymyr Peretts’s letters to the Ukrainian historian of literature, linguist, teacher and public figure P. Zhytetskyi and slavist, philologist, Dean of the History and Philology Faculty of Saint Volodymyr University in Kyiv T. Florinskyi which are stored in the Institute of Manuscripts of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. The article concludes that the main reason for moving of Volodymyr Peretts’s to Kyiv became a scientific interest of the scientist in the history of ancient Ukrainian literature. A talented teacher and good organizer Volodymyr Peretts also planned to encourage students for exploring Ukrainian literature. Peretts’s election as the Professor of Saint Volodymyr University in Kyiv was a tribute to the scientific achievement and pedagogical talent of the scientist. The article draws attention to the fact that the pedagogical activity of Volodymyr Peretts in Kyiv’s educational institutions has not been studied. Studying the teaching activity of a scientist in the Kyiv period of life has certain scientific perspectives.

The interest in Serbian history, its language and culture have risen significantly in Ukraine in the last two decades. Ukrainian scientists begin to actively research Serbian history, compare Serbian traditions and customs with Ukrainian and study the influence that one nation has on another. Most of the studies, published in universities presented by Ukrainian philologists that study Serbian language and literature. However, historical works during the years of Ukrainian independence also diversified the limits of their searches. The main scientific research in Serbistics, gathered in works, such as “Comparative Research of Slavic Languages and Works of Literature”, “In memory of Academician Leonid Bulakhovsky”, “Herald of Taras Shevchenko National University”, “Actual Problems of National and World History”. Diversity and versatility of these journals, give scientists an opportunity to look into more actual, and less researched topics. Serbian studies in Ukraine, study such questions as the history of Serbian immigrants in Ukraine, Ukrainian diaspora in Serbia, cooperation of Ukrainians and Serbs during 17–21 centuries, modern tendencies of Serbian development. At the same time, there are more problems that require further development. That is why Serbian studies have a great perspective of development in Ukraine.

The passive participles of the present tense have been actively used only in Russian out of all Slavic languages since the 19th century and are a grammatical category that is not accepted by all native speakers of the standard Belarusian language as a normative one. During the development of Slavic languages, it has been experiencing two opposite tendencies: decline and revival. The article examines extralinguistic and intralinguistic factors that could have influenced the development of this verb form in a number of Slavic languages. According to the author, the bilingual Slavic-Greek consciousness of the creators of Slavic writing could have influenced the strengthening of these forms in the Russian language. The article analyzes possible connections of the Slavic participles of the present tense with the medial and passive participles of the Greek language in the light of their common origin from the Indo-European participle, as well as the process of development of participles during the restructuring of the voice category and in connection with the development of the aspect category.

In this article, the author refers to the methodological heritage of a Russian philologist of the 19th century P. M. Perevlessky. In his book «Practical orthography with preliminary comments» (1842), P. M. Perevlessky proposed a “proofreading exercises” (carefully checking a text for errors) as practice techniques for learning orthography for schoolchildren. He emphasized the close relationship between spelling and grammar. After the publication of his book, the term «cacography» was introduced into scientific parlance, which is also used in modern methodology of teaching the Russian language. The author notes that there are still supporters and opponents of “proofreading practice”.

The article analyzes the possibilities of the methodology of the school of chrono-discrete monogeographic comparative jurisprudence in relation to the penal policy, which is considered in the context of the Soviet period of modernization of Russia. The subject of the article is the arrays of social and legal information in the field of the criminal law, the history of the penitentiary system, the history of the establishment of public control institutions, the genesis of the Russian language in the political and legal sphere. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that the penitentiary policy is of a chrono-discrete nature, which is due to the peculiarities of Russia's civilizational backwardness at the early 20th century and the requirements of catching-up modernization of its technological structure. The methodological basis of the study was a chrono-discrete monogeographic comparative legal approach, which, in addition to the wellknown comparative, historical, formal legal types of analysis, proceeded from the following research attitudes and assumptions: 1) the object is taken in the same topology, but in different periods; 2) the scholar believes that there is a chronological gap in socio-legal and political processes. As a result of the work carried out, national characteristics in the evolution of penitentiary policy from the end of the 19th to the end of the 20th centuries were studied. A retrospective analysis of the penal policy humanization is presented and the reasons for the Soviet chronopause in the observance of human rights are named, the historical heterodynamics of the penal system in the system of state and law is substantiated. Problems of interaction of the penitentiary system with civil society institutions are implicitly touched upon. It is concluded that the current humanistic trend in the development of the penal system is a natural continuation of the penitentiary reforms of the 19th century, continued after the necessary socio-technological modernization of Russia, carried out by the Bolshevik party. Key words: penal system, punishment, time gap, chronopause, chrono-discrete monogeographic comparative legal approach (HMSP), industrialization, modernization, nonlinear cliodynamics
