The article examines the history of the study of the near Chora of Tauric Chersonese on the Heraclean Peninsula in the 1970s–1990s on the basis of the scientific correspondence of the Director of the State museum-reserve «Tauric Chersonese» Inna Antonova and Professor of Moscow state University Vasily Kuzishchin. It is noted that the study of the correspondence of two scientists became possible due to the careful processing of I. A. Antonova documents in the museum’s archive. Particular attention was paid to the issue of the resumption of the Heraclean expedition activities, which was discussed in the letters of scientists to each other. It is concluded that only after studying, systematizing and analyzing all the materials preserved in the Chersonesе archive it will be possible to give a proper assessment of the contribution of I. A. Antonova in the research and public life of the museum, city, country, as well as the contribution of her correspondents, one of whom was V. I. Kuzishchin.

The article is devoted to the history of acquisition of the municipal and state repositories with early printed Cyrillic monuments in the 19th — 21st centuries. The aim of the research is to show the process of acquisition of the collections of state museums, archives and libraries of Russia. The author uses descriptions of the books from the catalogues published with the participation or under the guidance of experts in archaeography of the Moscow State University (MSU) named after M.V. Lomonosov. They cover the collections of the MSU Scientific Library, as well as the collections of museums, archives and libraries of Tver, Yaroslavl and Perm Regions, as well as the State Historical, Architectural and Ethnographic Museum-Reserve “Kizhi”.As a total there are involved 3953 descriptions containing information about the date and source of acquisition of the books to the repositories. The author concluded that archaeographic expeditions made a great contribution to the replenishment of the collections of the early printed Cyrillic monuments (860 books), but this contribution was not decisive. The most part of the unique monuments got into repositories as private donations or were purchased in old book shops, or during the expropriation of Church valuables. Only in the 1920s there were obtained 1068 books from the Church libraries.Significant event in the life of repositories in the twentieth century was more or less permanent redistribution of stocks between the major collections. The most part of the early printed Cyrillic books (almost half of them already introduced into scientific discourse), preserved now in the Scientific Library of the Moscow State University, was obtained not in the course of expeditionary work, but as a result of transfer of the books from the V.I. Lenin State Library of the USSR, the State Public Historical Library of Russia, the State Historical Museum and the Moscow Kremlin Museums.

The objective of this project, implemented at the Faculty of Public Administration of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, is interdisciplinary studies of family behaviour strategies of young people in terms of the ‘Demography’ National Project (2019—2024) and those of challenges associated with the socio-economic development of the country. The following objectives were set and achieved: the main strategies of students’ family behaviour were identified; monitoring of changes in the students’ current strategies by contrast of the similar studies carried out in 2008 was conducted; the factors which impact the formation of marital and family attitudes depending on the educational profile and the university were identified; the analysis of the state family and youth policy from the perspective of its perception by students was carried out; recommendations and proposals to adjust the state social policy as part of projects and programs on demography, family and youth policy, as well as those on their monitoring and evaluation were developed. The project outcomes were provided in the reports during national and international conferences and discussed at the round table organized by the Faculty of Public Administration of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and were covered in the publications of 2019—2020. The project highlighted the need for continuous monitoring of changes in the youth milieu with respect to family strategies, in order to quickly realign the state priorities while implementing the national projects of Russia.

The article describes the results of a qualitative study of the image of an ideal Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian citizens conducted by the Chair of Sociology and Psychology of Politics, Dept. of Politics Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2020. The main method of the study was method of deep focused interviews. The results of the study allowed us to identify representations of Russian citizens about the desired and unacceptable qualities of the ideal Deputy. The study showed that one of the sources of forming those ideal representations about Deputies is the perception of real Deputies, which has a sharply negative character. The results can be used as a reference material in the preparation and conduct of election campaigns of candidates for Deputies of the State Duma of the VIII Convocation.

This article examines the career of Yakov Kronrod, a Soviet economic theorist, in the context of the larger transformation of Soviet economics in the post-Stalin period. It argues that Kronrod’s debates with his rivals in the “Mathematical Economics” and “Moscow State University” approaches to economics open a window on how the changing relationship between the state and the profession of economics created new research agendas. The transformation of economics in the post-Stalin period into a “Cold War Science” from an “ideological science” made “policy relevance” increasingly important to Soviet economic practitioners and allowed once ideologically hostile ideas to become central to economics. This case study makes a larger intervention into the history of late Soviet society, arguing that seemingly arcane intellectual conflicts were, in fact, a reflection of extremely contentious political battles and that ideology remained a key site of politics deep into the Brezhnev era.

Background. The growing importance of international cooperation among universities have increased the number of joint training projects. Common Bologna principles followed by Russian and Spanish tertiary institutions helped perform a pilot study focused on telecollaboration and plurilingual and pluricultural competence implementation. The project aimed at forming plurilingual and pluricultural competence and communicative competence among students studying either English or Spanish or both through the integration of digital technologies into the learning process.Methods. This 7-month study took place in Moscow (Russian Federation) and Valencia (Spain) from November 2019 to June 2020. Participants were university students aged 20–23 from Teaching Training Faculties from Lomonosov Moscow State University and CEU Cardenal Herrera University. The undergraduates who volunteered to participate in the focus group took part in five telecollaboration sessions (March-May 2020). The participants were divided into two mixed (50% Russian and 50% Spanish learners) subgroups and discussed suggested topics during online studentled bilingual sessions. After each online interaction, researchers collected their opinions through questionnaires and discussion with a lecturer.Outcomes. All participants announced that the study gave them a chance to improve their language abilities, update their vocabulary and enhance their intercultural experience. None of the partakers reported having experienced any difficulty doing the project and only regretted that interaction time was too short. Additionally, lecturers were able to test new curricula implementation and assessment procedures.Conclusions. The pilot study was feasible to deliver and there was a clear, satisfactory result with the focus groups participants and teaching staff.
