Introduction. The article considers the features of traditional clothes of descendants of Belarusian peasant migrants of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries living in Siberia and the Far East. Methods and materials. Basic materials of the study is oral descriptions of clothing, which were collected among descendants of migrants, who were born in the 1910s – 1950s, and also visual observation of the samples of traditional clothing which are stored in museums. On the basis of using the comparative-historical and typological methods, the transformations of the practice of making and wearing clothing have been investigated. Analysis. The analysis of the field materials indicates that the traditional clothing of Belarusian migrants continued to play an important role in their domestic culture from the late 19th century to the 1950s – 1960s. The traditional complex of Belarusian clothing has undergone transformations in a new place because of needs to adapt it to the different natural and climatic conditions, by borrowing from the new ethnic environment, as well as general processes of modernization of the way of life. Due to colder climate of the Asian part of Russia, transformations of winter outerwear and shoes were the most dynamic. Results. The features of ethno-cultural identity had an influence on the degree of preservation of the original complex of clothing of the Belarusians. Traditional types of clothing from the places of exit were most preserved in the places of homogenous residence of Belarusian migrants. In cases of dispersed residence with a high proportion of mixed marriages, the Belarusians faster adopted prototypes of clothing that were typical of their new ethnic environment.

This article is devoted to the Russian military and statesman P. F. Unterberger and his views on the position of the Russian Empire in the Far East in the late 19th century. The source of the article is the P. F. Unterberger’s note, which demonstrates primary objectives of Russia in the region. It is a part of P. F. Unterberger’s fond in the Russian State Military History Archive (RGVIA). The note was written in the late 19th century and is noteworthy not only as a source, revealing aspects of external and internal policy of Russia, but as an attempt of a Russian general to make a project of the Far East’s development. Therefore, on the basis of his note, the article strives to assess intellectual tendencies and processes of the era. Of primary importance for P. F. Unterberger was military presence of Russia in the Far East. He pointed out that strategic importance of the region had significantly increased in the late 19th century. He saw one of the main aims of the Russian Empire in acquiring an ice-free port in the Far East. The need to connect the Far Eastern periphery with Central Russia prompted him to address the problem of transport development. Thus, P. F. Unterberger underscored the necessity of the Trans-Siberian Railway construction. He focused on relations between Russia and other states. P. F. Unterberger urged Russia to establish cordial relations with China, the biggest state of the Far East. On England, which also had its interests on the Pacific coast, he held a different view. Japan he considered Russia’s most dangerous enemy in the region. There are some results in the article’s conclusion. The note of P. F. Unterberger shows some intellectual tendencies of the turn of the 20th centuries. One of them was the idea of “yellow peril.” However, of most significance is the source itself. Such complex theories subsequently have become a part of the scholarship known as “geopolitics.”

The article is devoted to the analysis of geopolitical views of the Russian conservatives in the late 19th century. Primary attention is paid to the period “forgotten” by researchers after the death of the classics of geopolitical thought in the 1880s and before the beginning of the “golden age” of Russian geopolitics. The influence of the legacy of Konstantin Leontiev and the new works of Vladimir Lamansky on the discussions published in the journal in the 1890s – early 1900s is proved. The author concludes that the late Slavophiles and the “Guardians” set different priorities in Russian strategy in the regions of Balkan Peninsula, Central Asia and the Far East. The article demonstrates the gradual formation of “proto-Eurasianism” in the Russian thought of that period.

I clarify Hegel’s role in the Europeanization of philosophy over the course of the 19th century. I begin with an investigation of the way non-Western philosophy was conceptualized in Europe before, and after, I move on to a consideration of the debates about philosophy that emerged in late 19th century China because of European attempts, such as that of Hegel, to circumscribe the geographical and civilizational scope of this discipline. How may we see the emergence of a distinctly modern, generally nationalist, discourse about “Chinese philosophy” within China as a reflection of larger global processes then taking place?

From the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, Mexican popular music underwent a significant transformation, thanks to the growth of Mexico City as an urban center and to the influence of both regional and international music genres. At the same time, the Mexican public experienced a profound shift in the way music was consumed. Over the course of five generations, traditional modes of encountering music gave way to a more cosmopolitan enjoyment of new and old musical styles.

They went to America to learn the skills to make China modern and along the way they transformed themselves. Some of the earliest pioneers, women trained in missionary schools before going to America in the late 19th century, returned to China as medical doctors and created a new profession in China.

The results of research into rice sown for grain (2017–2018) are presented. The effectiveness of Concord fungicide (active ingredients tebuconazole, 125 g/l; triadimefon, 100 g/l) against rice Pyricularia was studied. The experiment was conducted in the conditions of the greenhouse experiment in the Primorsky Territory. Artificial inoculation of plants was carried out in the phase of 4–5 leaves with a suspension of conidia of the fungus Pyricularia oryzae Broomeet Cavara (concentration of 100 thousand in 1 ml). The test results were compared with the action of the preparation Favorit (active ingredients tebuconazole, 125 g/l; triadimefon, 100 g/l). Concord fungicide was used once on the next day after inoculation at a normal rate of 0.75; 1.0 and 1.25 l/ha. Under the influence of the preparation, the damage to rice plants decreased by 57.5% (0.75 l/ ha); 70.0 (1.0) and 69.5% (1.25 l/ ha) compared to the control. The use of fungicide contributed to an increase in plant growth by 7.6– 13.3 cm, and panicle length by 1.4–2.9 cm, and had a positive effect on the number of grains and the weight of grains in an ear. With the action of Concord, the mass of 1000 grains increased by 1.38 (0.75 l/ha); 2.14 (1.0) and 3.03 g (1.25 l/ha) compared to the control. The positive effect of fungicidal treatments of rice crops led to obtaining an additional grain yield. Concord does not show a phytotoxic effect and does not have a retardant effect on rice plants. The maximum indicators of biological efficiency were obtained with the use of the preparation at a flow rate of 1.0 and 1.25 l/ha. In agro-climatic conditions of the south of the Far East, Concord fungicide proved to be effective for protecting rice vegetating plants from Pyricularia.
