The article assesses the richness of the collection fund of Siberian plants that grew in the historical periodfrom 1954 to 1963 and grow in the modern period from 2011 to 2020 in the collection “Alpine Slides” of the Peter the GreatBotanical Garden. The main purpose of this article was to assess the preservation of the collection fund of Siberian andpartly Central Asian plants in the historical aspect. It was necessary to identify the plant species that are most resistant tocultivation in the conditions of St. Petersburg. As a result of the comparison, it was found that at present the collection fundof plants is quite poor, compared to the selected historical segment, and it needs to be replenished. The most stable in thecollection were 22 species, as they existed in the collection both in the selected time periods and exist at the present time.The age of individuals of individual species reaches almost 80 years – Brunnera sibirica, Bergenia × ornata, Actaea dahurica,A. simicifuga, Nepeta sibirica, Spodiopogon sibiricus and others. In the modern period of time, more than 20 species didnot pass the initial introduction test and existed in the collection for no more than 2–3 years. These include Viola altaica,Mertensia sibirica, Peucedanum baicalense, Orostachys thyrsiflora and others.

The paper provides an overview of the tour guide activities in one of the oldest gardens in Russia - Peter the Great Botanical garden of Komarov Botanical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. It is the first time the authors have summarized the experience of working with visitors of the Peter the Great Botanical garden from the end of the 19th century to the present. Much attention is paid to the history of the excursion business in Russia and in the Botanical garden. The incentive to work was the growing interest in Botanical gardens and various forms of the excursion activity that now exist in the Botanical garden of Saint Petersburg. Modern science about excursions broadly describes general basics of conducting excursions, but practical techniques are not presented enough. Therefore, the task of methodological developments for the guides of the Botanical garden becomes relevant. Based on historical experience, the authors describe the rules for preparing for excursions in the Botanical garden, aspects when choosing information for excursions, special training methods, and general recommendations for excursions organization. Specific knowledge about the content of excursions in the Botanical garden will help specialists effectively and competently organize activities for environmental and biological education of both adults and young visitors.

Information about Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. has been growing in the Peter the Great Botanical Garden of the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg since 1939. It reached 6.2 m in height at the age of 82. It is considered the most winter-hardy, characterized by long flowering and high decorative effect. The first flowering was noted in 1942, for a long time the plants only bloomed without tying the fruit. After the hot summer of 2010, fruits were first formed and self-seeding appeared in 2011-2012. This is a unique fact for such northern latitudes. The species can be recommended for landscaping and promote its culture further north. In the context of climate change and its warming at the beginning of the XXI century, constant monitoring and continuous phenological observations of Tamarix ramosissima are important.

Different species of the Cactaceae family have always been popular as collectible plants. Peter the Great Botanical Garden of the Komarov Botanical Institute holds a representative collection of species from this genus. Of the 185 names adopted according to The Plant List (http://www.theplantlist.org), there are currently about 160 species in the collection of the Garden, plus almost 30 intraspecific taxa. For species that reproduce only by seeds, it is important to study the features of their latent period and evaluate their quality (35 species, 87 accessions). The collection of cacti and succulents of the Peter the Great Botanical garden contains a large number of genera and species as well as forms and varieties from this family. Despite the fact that at present some taxa are united, however, specific grown plants produce seeds of different quality. The results of studying fruits and seeds in a number of species of the genus Mammillaria maintained at Peter the Great Botanical Garden of the Komarov Botanical Institute are presented. The number of seeds in the fruit, the weight of 1000 seeds, and laboratory germination of seeds with different shelf life under laboratory conditions were measured. Seeds were germinated using a standard technique — in Petri dishes on filter paper, without the use of stimulants. It is shown that germination of freshly harvested seeds is slow and stretched in time. Their germination rate does not reach significant performance. The highest germination rate is observed in many species of the genus Mammillaria after 2–3 years of storage. After 5–7 years of storage, the seeds should not be used for exchange between botanical gardens. But anyway, some species (M. flavescens (DC.) DC., M. prolifera subsp. haitiensis (K. Schum.) D. R. Hunt, M. rhodantha Link et Otto) of this genus remain viable for a long time (up to 10 years, as for example, M. mammillaris (L.) Hikers. [=M. simplex Haw.]). At the seed laboratory of the Peter the Great Botanical Garden, the seed storage period for species of the genus Mammillaria suitable for interbotanical exchange is set at a maximum of 7 years, for them to be listed in Index Seminum (or Delectus). Older seeds are used to replenish the carpological collection of the Garden.

Abstract The article first surveys Greek interpretations of the creation of the Russian Holy Synod by Peter the Great. It provides a critical assessment of the historiographical paradigm offered by N.F. Kapterev for the analysis of Greek-Russian relations in the early modern period. Finally, it proposes that scholars should focus on a Greek history of Greek-Russian relations as a complement and possibly corrective to the Kapterev paradigm.
