In India, as in much of the world, the 19th century witnessed the emergence of urban capitalist classes, effected by the rapid growth of global mercantile capitalism and, later, industrial manufacturing. As a colonial city, Bombay—like its eastern counterpart, Calcutta—developed two connected, but distinct business communities: one, a European community with foreign, imperial connections, and the other, an Indian community with roots in long-standing regional networks. In Bombay, the latter took the form of a class known as the “Merchant Princes,” who capitalized on long-standing commercial traditions in western India and their ability to command both Indian and colonial networks to establish themselves as commercial powerhouses. These commercial networks and patterns of behavior, established before the arrival of the British, had an indelible impact on the character of Indian business in colonial Bombay. The business community brought such traditions with them when they migrated to Bombay at the end of the 18th century and used them to build the famous mercantile firms of the early 19th century. The Indian business elite likewise built collaborative links within their own community to expand their business interests; when barriers erected by the colonial establishment sought to limit their expansion, Indian businessmen used the resources at their disposal (both in the Indian hinterland and within the city itself) to circumvent them. Class identity similarly began to emerge as they cooperatively campaigned for particular agendas, intended to improve the fortunes of the entire community. They fought for greater influence in the Bombay government—in line with the wealth they then commanded—and used their financial resources to mold the physical and intellectual landscape of the city in their favor.

Described in Primary Chronicle under 912 the story of the unusual circumstances of the death of Kyiv pagan prince Oleh the Prophetic is connected to Kyiv topographic realities, contemporary for chronist, in particular, to the toponym «Oleh Tomb», also known from other sources. According to this chronicle Oleh Tomb was placed on the hill Shchekovytsya but the exact localization of the latter is not provided. In the middle of the 19th century Kyiv people called Shchekovytsya the high hill rising over the Podil on the west side. In the works of the later Kyiv scholars this hill was unequivocally identified with Chronicle Shchekovytsya where they localized the grave of Oleh. This view was challenged by P. G. Lebedyntsev who suggested localizate the Oleh Tomb not on Shchekovytsya / Skavitsya but on the western slope of the Starokyivsky Plateau, on Kudryavka, opposite the Lybid’ River, near the Zhidovsky (Lviv) Gate of Medieval Kyiv. Basing on the analysis of Kyiv Chronicle information the scientist concluded that the toponym «Oleh Tomb» is separated from Shchekovytsya in the annals. The explanation of this contradiction in the chronicle was proposed by one of the best experts in the historical topography of Old Kyiv — M. I. Petrov. He suggested that under the name of Shchekovytsya one should consider not only the Podil hill but also all surrounding ravines and highlands. The Shchekovytsya ridge of mountains and hills stretched from the east to the southwest from the present Shchekovitsa hill to the edge of the present Lviv Square. The common for whole this territory name Shchekovytsya became gradually decay due to the large scale construction of the city in the 18th century and the appearance of proper names of new urban areas. The version of the death and burial of Oleh in Ladoga where one of the central and largest hills got the name «Oleh Tomb» is still popular in historiography, especially Russian. This mound was explored by archaeologists. The cremation burial was discovered under the barrow. It was dated to earlier (9th century) time than the date of Oleh death. Because of the impossibility of this «grave» to be burial place of the Prince of Kyiv, G. S. Lebedev has proposed to consider it the «Oleh Hill» — a «ritual seat» which had some public and religious functions. Despite the hypothetical nature of such interpretation the ghost of Oleh finds the visible features in Ladoga. At the end of the last century in Old Ladoga the stone was erected on that mound with a memorial plaque proclaiming this site of the 9th—10th centuries «The tomb of Prince Oleh the Prophetic». The story of the death of Kyiv pagan prince Oleh the Prophetic «due to horse» contained in the Primary Chronicle under 912 was compilled, apparently, on the base of some archaic mythological song or historical anecdote. It wins over not its factual authenticity but psychological one. However, there is no reason to doubt that Oleh died in Kyiv. The death of the prince, who was crowned with warrior glory, prompted his followers to muse about the choice of a place for the building of the great barrow over his grave. The slopes of the Lysa Gora (Yurkovytsia), where the pagan necropolis had already been laid near Oleh courtyard, probably seemed them to be cramped. This may have been the reason for choosing among the highlands, which rise above the Podil, the beautiful terrain of Kudryavka in the upper reaches of the Hlybochytsa river. The barrow built in the 10th century was probably quite large which explains the relatively long life of «Oleh Tomb» in the Kyiv toponimic.

Ethnic identity is a differentiator that is primordial that is often used to establish an association to a particular group, as ingroup or outgroup that in the local context the plural is called the "Kitorang" or "kamorang". Ethnic identity is a true socio-cultural construction, which can be changed, uncertain and impermanent. Ethnicity is an expression of past products, the rise of the same origin, social relations, and similarities in cultural values ​​and traits such as language and religion. However, despite ethnic identity can change it may cause birth stereotypes and prejudices even turn into violent conflict. This research is to unravel the relationship between ethnic Kaili (native) and ethnic Bugis (entrants) in the city of Palu. This study used a qualitative method with informants selected from academia (anthropologist), students and community leaders Kaili and Bugis. The results showed that the various stereotypes that appear in both ethnically both positive and negative. Meanwhile there are also prejudices that accompany the relationship and communication between the two ethnic groups, although there has been a culturals and economic interconnections since hundreds of years ago. Even since the 1990s until recent year violent conflicts ethnic background, whose roots are suspected due to economic disparities between Kaili and Bugis ethnic population, such as the conflict in the Market Masomba and Inpres Market. Keywords: Prejudice, Stereotype, Ethnic Identity, Intercultural Communication.   ABSTRAK Identitas etnik merupakan pembeda yang bersifat primordial yang seringkali digunakan untuk menetapkan asosiasi pada kelompok tertentu, sebagai ingroup atau outgroup yang dalam konteks lokal jamak disebut dengan istilah “kitorang” atau “kamorang”. Identitas etnik sejatinya merupakan konstruksi sosial budaya, yang dapat berubah, tidak pasti dan tidak kekal. Etnisitas merupakan ekspresi dari produk masa lalu, kebangkitan asal-usul yang sama, hubungan sosial, dan kesamaan dalam nilai-nilai budaya dan ciri-ciri seperti bahasa dan agama. Namun identitas etnik kendati dapat berubah ia dapat menyebabkan lahirnya stereotipe dan prasangka bahkan berubah menjadi konflik kekerasan. Penelitian ini mengurai relasi antara etnik Kaili (pribumi) dan Etnik Bugis (pendatang) di Kota Palu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan informan yang dipilih dari kalangan akademisi (antropolog), mahasiswa dan tokoh masyarakat Kaili dan Bugis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beragam sterotipe yang muncul pada kedua etnik baik yang positif maupun negatif. Sementara itu masih terdapat pula prasangka yang menyertai relasi dan komunikasi antar kedua etnik, kendati telah terjadi persinggungan budaya dan ekonomi sejak ratusan tahun yang lalu. Bahkan sejak tahun 1990 an hingga beberapa tahun terakhir terjadi konflik kekerasan berlatarbelakang etnik, yang akarnya ditengarai akibat ketimpangan ekonomi antara penduduk etnik Kaili dan Bugis, misalnya saja konflik di Pasar Masomba dan Pasar Inpres. Kata kunci: Prasangka, Stereotipe, Identitas Etnik, Komunikasi Antarbudaya

This study is dedicated to the Armenian manuscript and printed Amulet1 of the Armenian Diocese of Baghdad (DAOB). In this collection of early printings, there are two printed Amulets in scroll (Pr. n. 14, second half of the 19th century and Pr. n. 15, A.D. 1716). The third Amulet is a manuscript written in 1736 in the city of Erzrum (Karin) for a certain Ohan (Ms. n. 13). The scanned copies of these amulets are currently available through the website of Hill Museum and Manuscript Library (HMML).2 Since this paper is the first study of these amulets, it presents them in terms of codicology and bibliographical study and discusses their decoration. The study of some iconographic details will help to reveal the practice of using amulets and their meaning, considering them as a representation of Armenian “folklore-art”, since scribes and miniaturists were partly free to choose texts and decorate them, even they were mostly works of the priesthood.3 It should be noted that as artifacts of the same genre, having a purpose of protection of their owners using incantations and prayers, very often the content and decoration of these three Amulets have similarities. From this point of view, Ms. n. 13 (A.D. 1736) and Pr. n. 15 (A.D. 1716) are more relevant to each other both in content and, accordingly, in decoration. A selection of prayers and illustrations to them show almost the same structure, and for the printed Amulet, we can certainly argue that such structure was typical (but not limited) for the printed Amulets in the Armenian tradition from the 18th to 19th centuries. Despite some similarities with two previous Amulets, the Pr. n. 14 (19th century) represent another structure of content and its decoration. It is enriched with prayers and illustrations which does not exist in mentioned above two examples of the 18th century. E.g. engravings depicting the life of Christ (Annunciation, Birth of Jesus Christ, Baptism, Resurrection, etc.), or portraits of the evangelists, accompanied by the passages from their Gospels. Our research shows that the publishers of this Amulet had an eighteenth-century prototype and took an innovative approach using Western art engravings.

The Jewish community in Vilna began in the middle of the 16th century, when the Polish king, Zygmunt August, allowed the Jews to settle in the city and operate mainly in the commercial sphere. From this stage onward, the local Jewish community developed rapidly, the community synagogue was established and the Jews lived in the space allocated to them, and later became recognized as the Jewish quarter. From the middle of the 18th century Vilna became a community of unique importance in eastern European space, due to the development of a religious scholarly center, the most prominent of which was Rabbi Eliyahu Kremer, known as the Gaon of Vilna. Since the beginning of the 19th century, there has been a significant increase in the city’s Jewish population, which has spread to other neighborhoods in the city. At the same time, various circles among local Jews underwent a gradual process of cultural change, manifested in the absorption of the worldview of the Enlightenment. Several social circles operated in this spirit, among them poets, writers, and educators. The latter initiated the establishment of modern schools, and in the middle of the 19th century Vilna became the most important center of Jewish enlightenment in eastern Europe. In the second half of the century, Vilna became one of the main centers of the spread of nationalist and socialist ideologies, as well as one of the worldly most known center of Jewish books printing and publication. At the beginning of 1880, the first association of Hovevei Zion was organized in the city, and in 1897, the General Federation of Jewish Workers in Russia, Lithuania, and Poland, better known as the Bund, was also established in Vilna. During the First World War many of the Jews of Vilna left the city, and at the beginning of 1920 the city was annexed to Poland. In the period between the world wars, most of the local Jewish population suffered from considerable economic difficulties, and at the same time they experienced a significant cultural and educational flowering. The Institute for Jewish Research, known as YIVO, was established in Vilna in 1925. Likewise, during those years there was an impressive diversity in the local Jewish educational system, both for boys and girls, and especially for those with a Zionist orientation. Hundreds of Jewish students studied at the various faculties of the local university, despite manifestations of hostility and violence by militant groups of Polish students. With the outbreak of World War II, many refugees from Poland arrived in Vilna, and with the German invasion in the summer of 1941, all city Jews were concentrated in two ghettos. During the war, most of the Vilna’s Jews were murdered in Ponary, and other murder sites. After the war, a small Jewish community lives in the city.

The research was carried out on the materials of 2009–2019 archeological-historical investigations in one of the first Russian cities in Siberia — Tara, founded in 1594. The aim was to study the process of tobacco distribu-tion in the region and the specific aspects of tobacco smoking in the 17th–19th centuries. The perception of this habit from the local administration and various groups of the population, such as servicemen, Old Believers and other social strata of the city, has been considered. The attitude to tobacco smoking changed over the studied period from the government ban to protection by the highest authorities. The perception within the society also varied, from semi-underground smoking and punishment for this habit to permission and encouragement. In total, during the excavation, 10 pipes for tobacco smoking and 2 mouthpieces were found. Pipes from archeological excavations of Siberian sites of the Sayany ostrog, as well as those from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, were analyzed. Based on this analysis, the Tara pipes were divided into the following types: locally produced items of the 18th century, «Moscow» pipes of the 18th century, and porcelain pipes of the 19th century. By their design, they split into heads with small cups for finely cut tobacco and pipes with large cups for Russian coarsely cut tobacco. The collection of pipes obtained during archaeological research in the city of Tara overall fits into the general con-cept of the distribution of smoking in Siberia, proposed by A.V. Shapovalov. The mouthpieces are made of wood and bone and fit with dimensions of the pipe heads. Planigraphically, the findings of pipes and mouthpieces in the 17th century are associated to the interhouse spaces, and pipes of the 18th–19th centuries — to the location of drinking houses. This is related to the prohibition of smoking by local administrations before Peter the Great time, and then to the protests of Old Believers against smoking. The issue of the use of drugs during smoking, primarily hashish, a tradition that could come to Siberia from Central Asia, is still to be addressed.

Not populated or low-populated territories development due to the railroads construction exerted considerable impact on regional planning of the country. Construction of the Great Siberian way – the Trans-Siberian Railway was one of the significant events of the end of the 19th century. Numerous new settlements and the cities, such as Novosobirsk, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk appeared on the map of the country. Krasnoyarsk began to develop violently and grew by 270% after railroad construction in 1897 - 1911 years. New created structure of resettlement entailed industry development.  A lot of the new productions were transported from the central part of the country during the Second World War. Factories were accommodated along the railroad generally. The majority of objects of cultural railway heritage remained on the railroads territories in present time.

The palace in Kukizów of King of Poland John III Sobieski is known only to a narrow group of architecture and art historians. The palace and park complex ceased to exist in the 19th century. The architecture of the palace is known especially from the descriptions in the inventory documents from the early 18th century. Although the authorship of the palace design belongs to the well-known artists of the era – Augustyn Wincenty Locci and Piotr Beber, its architecture has not yet been reconstructed. A specific feature of the royal residence in Kukizów was the construction of royal buildings and town buildings in a wooden material. The intention to create a city complex and an entirely wooden residence was a unique experiment in the field of European architecture and urban planning of the 17th century. In the paper we present the results of our research on the architecture of the palace and town for the end of the 17th century.

For the first time in literary studies, a comparative analysis of the urbanistic poetry of Bohdan Ihor Antonych and Georg Heym is realized. The common and divergent in semantic codes and characteristic practices from which the poetics of both authors grows are investigated. The city is the defining topos of modernist writing and the central category of the modernist worldview. In no other epoch did the city enjoy the attention of writers as at the end of the 19th century and in the first third of the 20th century. The modern city acquires its outlines only in the middle of the 18th century, and the modernist city from the second half of the 19th century, but especially in the early 20th century through dialectical denial and overcoming the «city of enlightenment». The metaphor of the sea and the semantics of the element, usually water, characterize expressionist speech. Expressionist lyrics are imbued with apocalyptic visions. Urban modernist poetry is an extrapolation of the inner world (states of consciousness) to the outer world. Negative fascination is a defining feature of urbanistic discourse in expressionist poetry. Expressionist urbanistic lyricism is a romantic revolt against urbanization as a defining structural element of the civilizational evolution of mankind, and demonization is the main instrument of criticism of the city in expressionist lyricism. Special attention is paid to the function of memory and remembrance in big-city modernist poetry. While in Heym, a representative of early expressionism in German literature, the city appears as a topos of the apocalypse, in Antonych, the picture of the city is significantly more differentiated – and figuratively, and tonally, and substantial. The thematic blurring of Heym's urban landscapes is opposed by Antonychʼs structural urban subtopoi, the key one being the square. Antonychʼs poetics moves from the concrete to the abstract; his apocalypse is more mundane, aestheticized and playful, and the trumpets of the last day trumpet in the squares, which lovers meet. Antonychʼs city is more vitalistic than Heimʼs, even when the lyrical subject inflicts a flood on him. Not only expressionist but also formalistic and cubist melodies are heard in it. The article uses methods of textual, paratext, and contextual analysis, method of distributive analysis, method of poetic analysis, method of semantic analysis, method of stylistic analysis, method of phonological analysis, hermeneutic and post-structuralist methods. Keywords: modernism, expressionism, urbanistic lyrics, urban landscape, memory, remembrance.
