The paper observes the current state of onomastics on the territorial residence of Komi-Yazvians, one of the disappearing small peoples of the Perm region. The authors intended to determine the degree of preservation of substrate proper names. The materials for this study were obtained during field expeditions of 2017–2018, undertaken to by teachers and students of the Perm State University to collect unique onomastic material in a small “pocket” of this people’s domicile — in the upper reaches of the Yazva (Verkh-Yazva rural settlement) in the Krasnovishersk district (Perm region). The first part of the article contains basic information on the ethnography and history of studying the language and culture of the Komi-Yazvian people. The factors that contributed to the formation of a unique culture, its preservation, and the formation of the ethnic identity of the Komi-Yazvian people are identified. The focus is on the current situation: the people are subject to strong assimilation processes, language and culture are rapidly fading and are on the verge of extinction. The authors emphasize that the Komi-Yazva onomastics have not received an in-depth study, and proper names still need to be collected and analyzed. The present study deals mainly with the toponymic part, describing the following classes of names: names of settlements of the Verkh-Yazva rural area, names of water bodies, mainly rivers, names of fields, meadows, pastures, and other microtoponymic objects. In total, this makes about 700 studied items. The following conclusions are made: 1) modern toponymy of the upper reaches of the Yazva river is a single and consistent onomastic space, 2) however, it also showcases structural changes due to a significant influence of the Russian toposystem; substrate onomastics, with the exception of hydronyms, is subject to active Russification and washing out of the active vocabulary, 3) the formation of the local toponymic space is influenced by historical and cultural processes, 4) the studied data indicate that macrotoponymy (mainly hydronymy) is more stable compared to the microtoponymy, which is more agile, more responsive to social, cultural, and linguistic processes, 5) it is necessary to immediately record the disappearing substrate names to subsequently consider the obtained data in line with modern theories of onomatology.

The University

The article presents a philosophical analysis of the history of the Faculty of Philosophy, starting with Peter the Great’s reforms and ending with its modern state. It is believed that the University of St. Petersburg was organized on the basis of a note by Leibniz to Peter the Great. In fact, there is no direct coincidence, since the university was built and developed in accordance with the capabilities and needs of the Russian Empire. Even at first, the first teachers were not Germans, but the so-called “Rusyns” (Leibniz also had Slavic roots). The example of the professors’ biographies revealed little-known pages of the history of Russian philosophy. Particular attention is paid to the search for a model of philosophical education in the post-revolutionary time. In accordance with the doctrine of the three constituent parts of Marxism, the emphasis was first placed on ideology and dialectic. Then philosophy was used in the struggle for “proletarian science.” In the 60s it gained relative independence, promoted the development of the theory of cognition, sociology and theory of values. The “golden age” of Russian philosophy began in the 90-s thanks to the talented workers of the Faculty of Philosophy, who published many original works that had a significant impact on the worldview of society. The accelerated development of scientific and educational activities has been made possible by adequate structural changes in the institutions of humanities education. The experience of its reforming is also useful in today’s environment.

Social Narrative

This chapter offers closing thoughts that reiterate and summarizes the main points of the book. The chapter explores the ways people make a careful survey of their situation and work out a method to yield growth despite life's contradictions and pressures. If their lives look at times like wind-torn shrubs, that does not mean that they are poorly adapted or lethargic. Instead, it offers evidence of the hard work it takes to thrive in a world where the good life is hard to find. It shows that a dominant myth blaming inequality on laziness has guided, upheld, and justified racial inequalities in South Africa and the world since the earliest mercantile and colonial encounters between Europeans and Africans, and this narrative was never eradicated, despite antislavery, civil rights, and anti-apartheid movements that achieved important legal and structural changes. The struggle to change this social narrative is an unglorified resistance with no clear ending point, but it is essential to the pursuit of the good life. It also shows evidence that in order to generate employment while aiming for the higher goal of seeking good, South Africa must address the history of antiblack disrespect that perpetuates dysfunctional employment structures. The people described in this book refuse to conform to narratives of inevitable happy endings or easy hope, but neither do their stories end only in despair.

Статья раскрывает неизвестные страницы истории фольклористики Прикамья, связанные с фигурой известного пермского журналиста Галима Сулейманова (1928-2003). В период обучения на историко-филологическом факультете Молотовского (ныне - Пермского) государственного университета (1946-1951) он всерьез увлекся фольклором, во многом благодаря П. С. Богословскому, преподававшему в университете в 1946-1948 гг. Студент Г. И. Сулейманов проявил себя как талантливый, чуткий собиратель русского и татарского фольклора. Он неоднократно участвовал в фольклорных и диалектологических экспедициях в различные районы Прикамья. В 1948-1949 гг. на территории Юго-Осокинского (ныне - Кунгурский) и Соликамского районов Молотовской области (ныне - Пермский край) ему удалось зафиксировать пересказ былинного сюжета «Илья Муромец и Святогор» и контаминированный текст «Про Илью Муромца». Статья основана на архивных материалах, включающих в себя автобиографию Г. И. Сулейманова, его переписку с П. С. Богословским, тетради с фольклорными записями. Впервые вводятся в научный оборот прозаические пересказы былин, записанные Г. И. Сулеймановым, дается их краткая текстологическая характеристика, приводятся описания, позволяющие судить о методике работы собирателя. Рассматриваются факторы, в той или иной мере способствовавшие возникновению, сохранению и трансформации очагов былинной традиции в Пермском регионе. His article reveals unknown pages of the history of Kama Region folklore studies associated with the figure of the famous Perm journalist Galim Suleymanov (1928-2003). While studying at the Faculty of History and Philology at the Molotov (now Perm) State University (1946-1951), he became seriously interested in folklore, largely thanks to P. S. Bogoslovsky, who taught at the university in 1946-1948. Even as a student, Suleymanov proved to be a talented, sensitive collector of Russian and Tatar folklore. He repeatedly participated in folklore and dialectological expeditions to various regions of the Kama Region. In 1948-1949, on the territory of the Yugo-Osokinsky (now Kungursky) and Solikamsky Districts of the Molotov Region (now Perm), he was able to record the bylina stories “Ilya Muromets and Svyatogor” and the contaminated text of “About Ilya Muromets” in retold form. The article is based on archival materials, including Suleymanov’s autobiography; his correspondence with Bogoslovsky; and his notebooks containing folklore records. For the first time, the prose paraphrases of bylinas (Russian heroic epics) that Suleymanov recorded are introduced into scholarly circulation. Their textual characteristics are briefly described, and materials that allow us to judge the collector’s methodology are presented. Also considered are the factors that contributed to the emergence, preservation and transformation of the epic tradition in the Perm Region.

The article proposes a comprehensive approach to the analysis of the topographic repertoire of Ukrainian spells. Peculiarities of topographical and toponymic vocabulary functioning in the most ancient texts of ritual folklore are deduced. It has been determined that the spells reflect different geographical areas with the help of 7 structural-and-semantic types of topolexes; their artistic-and-aesthetic focus has been identified. Geographical names as culturally loaded onyms in folklore texts carry a huge layer of culturally significant information in their semantics. In this case the name is an abridged history of the inner life and spirit of the people. The cultural component of the language at the vocabulary level (hence the proper names) to some extent fixes the culture of the people - the native speakers, reflects the inherent worldview of the people. It has been proved that the disclosure of the functional load and mechanisms of onomastic vocabulary in folklore texts will contribute to the clarification and deepening of the theoretical foundations of onomastics as a linguistic science. Each geographical name, entering folklore texts, is combined with a complex range of relations that can be restored only on the basis of a comprehensive systematic analysis of all manifestations of spiritual and material culture of the people, taking into account regional data distribution and knowledge of typologically related cultures. One of the toponyms’ functions in the texts of the spells is a targeted one, but this category of proper names in folklore texts performs not only a nominative function, but often acquires a generalized abstract meaning, adds other semes to their lexicographically fixed meaning, which implicitly contain people's attitudes to the world. It has been proved that geographical names appear in folklore genres as peculiar concepts of the linguistic-and-figurative sphere of the Slavic mentality.
