Today, there are a number of scientific publications devoted to specific aspects of the activities of Omsk museums in the period of 1960-1980. However, their availability did not lead to the solution of the problem of comprehensive study of Museum development in the Omsk region. The author of the article set the goal – to trace the development of research activities in museums of the Omsk region over a whole stage in the history of museum business. This manifested the scientific novelty of the study. The basis of the sources involved was the documents of the historical archive of the Omsk region (record-keeping and reporting documentation), state and party regulatory documents, the results of studies of predecessors in this matter, museographic sources. The analysis was based on the local-historical method, which made it possible to specify historical circumstances that influenced quantitative and qualitative changes. The historical-typological method allowed to systematize data on types of research activities on the types of research activities that is practiced in the museums of the region in 1960–1980-ies. The article focuses on the period that can be described as the most dynamic in the development of museums and museum network of the country. The museums were given the status of scientific institutions at the state level, measures have been taken to improve the organization of research work. It is found that the main types of research work in museums of the Omsk region in 1960–1980s were the development of scientific topics according to the thematic-expositional plans of the expositions and exhibitions; compilation of museum guides for exhibitions and expositions; development of texts of excursions, lectures, and texts for television and radio programmes; preparation of scientific articles by results of the conducted research; preparation of materials of methodological nature; organization and participation in scientific conferences; expeditionary trips to the districts of Omsk region; study of museum collections. The article reveals the specifics and directions of development of this activity, specify the reasons influencing its intensity.

Статья посвящена рассмотрению в трудах лингвиста, фольклориста, нартоведа Василия Ивановича Абаева вопроса историчности героического нартовского эпоса. Ав- тор отмечает, что в гуманитарной науке существует два основных подхода к интер- претации этого вопроса. Часть исследователей не признает историчность нартовского эпоса. В свое время это положение обосновывал Е. Крупнов, считавший эпос неисториче- ским по своей сущности. Однако по мере разработки проблемы и получения новых знаний его взгляды эволюционировали в сторону признания исторической ценности эпоса. Тем не менее, озвученная выше точка зрения и сегодня находит своих сторонников среди гу- манитариев, особенно фольклористов, мифологов. Большинство же историков, археоло- гов, языковедов (среди них Б. Скитский, Л. Семенов, В. Кузнецов, Ю. Гаглойти, Т. Гуриев, П. Козаев, Г. Романова и др.) придерживались и придерживаются иного взгляда на нартов- ский эпос и рассматривают его как важный источник, несущий информацию о древней и средневековой истории осетинского народа. Автор статьи подчеркивает особый вклад в обоснование этого положения Абаева, отмечает научную аргументированность суждений ученого, опирающегося в исследовательской деятельности на сравнительно-исторический метод. В статье анализируются его научные публикации по теме. Отмечается, что в образах Сатаны, Сослана и Батраза Абаев видел реальных исторических персонажей древ- ней и средневековой Осетии – принцессу Сатиник, Давид-Сослана, Ос-Багатара. Они были теми личностями в осетинской истории, в которых народная память нашла особенно благодатный материал для эпической героизации. Анализ трудов Абаева подвел автора к заключению о том, что историко-эпические параллели ученого подтверждают: нартов- ский эпос корнями уходит в древнюю и средневековую историю скифо-сармато-аланских племен, является их художественной автобиографией. The article is devoted to the works of Vasily Ivanovich Abaev, linguist, folklorist, specialist in Narts’ studies, regarding the question of the historicity of the heroic Narts’ epos. The author notes, that in the Humanities there are two main approaches to the interpretation of this issue. Some researchers do not recognize the historicity of the Narts’ epic. In his time, this proposition was developed by E. Krupnov, who considered the epic non-historical in its very nature. However, with further investigation held and new knowledge gained, the views evolved towards recognizing the historical value of the epic. Nevertheless, the above-mentioned point of view even today finds its supporters among the researchers in the Humanities, especially among folklorists, mythologists. Most historians, archaeologists, linguists (among them B. Skytsky, L., Semenov, V. Kuznetsov, Yu. Gagloity, T. Guriev, P. Kozaev, Romanov, etc.) adhered to a different view on the Narts’ epic and regard it as an important source carrying information about ancient and medieval history of the Ossetian people. The author of the article emphasizes the special contribution to the substantiation  of this position by V.I. Abayev, highlighting the scientific reasonableness of the judgments of the scientist, whose research activities were based on the comparative historical method. The article analyzes his scientific publications on the topic. It is noted that in the images of Satan, Soslan and Batraz V.I.Abayev saw the real historical characters of ancient and medieval Ossetia – Princess Satinik, David-Soslan, OS-Bagatar. They were those personalities in the Ossetian history, in whose biographies folk memory found especially fertile material for epic memorization. The analyses of the works of Abaev lead the author to the conclusion that the historical narrative parallels advanced by the scientist confirm that Nart epos is deeply rooted in ancient and medieval history of Scythian- Sarmatian-Alan tribes, being their artistic autobiography.

The history of scientific development in Algeria, which has not been long, represents a series of continual rises and falls. The Algerian leadership and researchers have been making efforts to create Algeria's national science through protection from the western scientific tradition, which is reminiscent of the colonial period of the country, and at the same time adoption of scientific knowledge and scientific institutions functioning principles from abroad, with no organizational or scientific experience of their own. Since the time the independent Algerian state was established, its scientific development has been inevitably coupled with active support of European countries, especially France, and other western and non-western states. Today the Algerian leadership is highly devoted to the modernization of the national scientific and research potential in strong cooperation with its foreign partners. The article concentrates on examining the present period (the 2000s) of the scientific development in Algeria. The main conclusion is that there still is a number of problems - for Algeria until now lacks an integral scientific community with the state preserving its dominating role in science and research activities. Despite these difficulties, the Algerian science has made an outstanding progress. The efficiently built organizational scientific structure, the growing science and technology cooperation with foreign countries as well as the increasing state expenses in science allow to hope for further success of the Algerian scientific development.

Sweden has a long and distinguished tradition in economics, beginning with Knut Wicksell and continuing with Gustav Cassel, Eli Heckscher, Erik Lindahl, Gunnar Myrdal, Bertil Ohlin, and Erik Lundberg, all of whom are now gone. Yet, for several of these men, economics was not enough: Wicksell spoke out on moral issues and served time in jail, and Myrdal was for many years a high official at the United Nations and, briefly, a cabinet minister, as was Ohlin, who made his mark at home primarily as leader of the opposition in a country governed mostly by Social Democrats, serving in parliament for 32 years. For Assar Lindbeck, however, economics has been broad enough: he has devoted a long and distinguished career to economics, and to economics alone, with unfailing enthusiasm and energy over half a century. Not that he was not wanted elsewhere: over the years, he has declined challenging job offers from an international organization and a Swedish daily newspaper, to name but two examples, as well as from universities outside Sweden. Assar has managed to harness his varied and wide-ranging talents within the many mansions of economics. He is one of the most versatile economists of his generation. Indeed, he is one of the few who, for clarity, need to divide their bibliography into categories by subject: Macroeconomics and monetary economics, Public economics, Labor economics, International economics, Economic systems and economic structures, Methodology and history of economic thought, and Swedish economy. His work on these different subjects has ranged from pure theory to applied policy-oriented and empirical studies. In addition to the numerous scientific publications listed at the end of this interview, his bibliography includes nearly 200 articles for magazines and newspapers. His ivory tower has always been equipped with a high-speed elevator. But, as he points out in the conversation to follow, all his research work, as well as his journalism, is driven by an overarching interest in bettering economic policy and organization—in other words, boosting economic and social efficiency for the purpose of lifting ordinary people's standard of life. This has been, and remains, a guiding principle—a Leitmotiv, if you prefer—from which he has never swerved. Assar Lindbeck is a towering figure in Swedish economics and in Swedish national life.

This publication explores the history of personal contacts and correspondence between the distinguished biochemist V. I. Nilov and the writer Maxim Gorky in 1933–1936. Through out his life, M. Gorky tried to use his influence to help talented scientists as well as scientific and cultural institutions. In 1933, V. I. Nilov, a researcher from the Nikita Botanical Gardens, wrote to Gorky about the experiments he performed in his biochemistry lab on the synthesis of vitamin C, plant breeding for chemical composition, and isolation of opiates from poppy. The writer appealed to the USSR top officials, intending to improve the situation with scientific institutions in Crimea. As a result of Gorky’s mediation efforts, Nilov’s documents were presented to I. V. Stalin. The leaders of the USSR were interested in such research, because it complied with the country’s strategic objectives. This, in its turn, led to changes in vitamin research and production in the USSR and had an effect on the status of the Nikita Botanical Gardens. V. I. Nilov’s scientific biography was closely interlinked with the history of the Institute of Plant Industry and its director N. I. Vavilov. By this publication, earlier unknown materials from the Archive of A.M. Gorky (Institute of World Literature, Moscow) and the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (Moscow) are for the first time introduced into public scientific discourse.

The study is aimed at determining the factors of motivation for research activities among schoolchildren of the Republic of Buryatia and the TransbaikalTerritory. The employed sociological approach in the study made it possible to analyze the cognitive and social needs of schoolchildren in research activity, to assess the influence and role of social factors (conditions of social life of students) in the formation and content of motives for research activities of schoolchildren, and also to distinguish schoolchildren’s expectations and opportunities needed to implement research activities. When organizing research work with students, developing a scientific infrastructure in education, the issues of student motivation acquire particular relevance. Taking into account the high level of the influence of a scientist’s image on the choice of student science-oriented specialization, strengthening the positive image of a scientist in society becomes an urgent task. Since teachers are the key figures in attracting schoolchildren to research, it is necessary to give priority attention to the methodical and methodological training of teachers in the field of research activities, along with providing scientific infrastructure for schoolchildren. The experience of implementation of scientific and educational projects “Scientific Accelerator” in Buryatia and the Science Festival “NAUKA 0+” in the TransbaikalTerritory showed that the competencies and methodological approaches in the field of research activities that students master within the framework of projects cannot always be developed inthe further educational process. At the same time, an important factor in motivating students is meeting with scientists who act as carriers of advanced academic knowledge and also form a positive image of the profession among students. The results of the study can be applied in the development of standards and rules for the implementation of educational activities.
