Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe how the material culture of the indigenous hunters and fishermen of the Udehe in the Far East of Russia have been transformed by outside influence, from an autonomous and already sophisticated culture to a dependent and modernized one. The discussion centres around the means of water transport, two kinds of dugout boats (the bat and omorochka) because they were and still are essential for hunting and fishing, which are the main economic activities of Udehe. The author demonstrates how this one part of material culture has changed in manufacturing and use, and what has changed in the everyday life due to this transformation.

The <i>Dryopteris dilatata</i> complex in the Caucasus, Siberia and the Far East was studied on the herbarium material from the Komarov Institute of Botany in Leningrad. The macromorphological characters of the sporophyte as well as the morphology and colour of spores were used. It has been found that <i>Dryopteris extremiorientalis</i> V. Vasil., regarded as an endemic taxon for the Far East, is conspecific with <i>Dryopteris assimilis</i> S. Walker, and <i>Dryopteris Alexeenkoana</i> Fom., regarded as a West Caucasian endemic species is identical with Dryopteris dilatata (Hoffm.) A. Gray, em. S. Walker. In .the paper the distribution of <i>D. assimilis</i> in the Asiatic part of the USSR was given.

Gastrocoptaarmigerella (Reinhardt, 1877) has been described from Japan and is widespread in the Far East and China. Surprisingly, a few occurrences in central and western Asia have also become known. Forcart (1935) found G.armigerella in northern Iran. The authors found evidence of G.armigerella in western Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan. The form from northern Tajikistan described by Schileyko (1984) as G.huttoniana agrees morphologically with G.armigerella as well. Gastrocoptahuttoniana is known from western India and the Himalayan region. The evidence of G.armigerella from central and western Asia has come thus far from drift material at the high water line in river floodplains which suggests that these are sub-fossil or fossil shells (Holocene or Pleistocene) which have been relocated. No living example of Gastrocopta has been found there as yet. Possibly the species is now extinct in this region. Gastrocoptatheeli (Westerlund, 1877) is the most widespread Gastrocopta in Eurasia. Its area ranges from the Caucasus to the Far East. The findings reported here are the first for this species in western Tien Shan.

The events analyzed in this article took place in 1958 and 1959, when the situation around Birobidzhan became a cause of widespread anxiety among Jewish activists in the West. A rumor circulated that “the Soviet Jews appeared in peril of their lives”, because the Soviet government was purportedly considering their mass forced resettlement to the Jewish Autonomous Region, in the Far East of Russia. In January 1959, representatives of the American Jewish Committee had a meeting with Anastas Mikoyan, the First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers. He had come to the United States to hold preliminary talks before Nikita Khrushchev’s historical visit in September 1959, and issues concerning the Jews were not on the agenda for his visit. However, after facing a barrage of questions about the alleged plan, he and his advisers decided that it would be unwise to avoid contact with representatives of the American Jewish establishment. The article draws attention to this meeting and the trace it left on the history of Soviet Jews.

Analysis of the historical faunistic explorations in Russia demonstrates the gradual improvement of knowledge during the 20th century for this country with variable borders. Recent estimations of the Trichoptera biodiversity in the Russian Federation show the presence of 643 species in 148 genera of 28 families within its limits. The largest family, Limnephilidae, comprises 159 species, followed by Leptoceridae (92 spp.), Hydroptilidae (56), Rhyacophilidae (49), Apataniidae (41), Polycentropodidae (35), Hydropsychidae (33), Phryganeidae (28), Glossosomatidae (23), Psychomyiidae (22), Philopotamidae (19), Lepidostomatidae (18), Goeridae (12), Brachycentridae (9), Molannidae (8), Beraeidae (6), Sericostomatidae (5), Stenopsychidae (5), Arctopsychidae (4), Ptilocolepidae (4), Ecnomidae (3), Uenoidae (3), Calamoceratidae (3), and Odontoceridae (2), with Hydrobiosidae, Dipseudopsidae, Phryganopsychidae, and Thremmatidae each with a single species. The fauna of Far East Russia is the richest with 392 species, whereas European Russia in inhabited by 225 spp., the Caucasus 155, and Siberia 239. Species distribution patterns are not known in detail even in European Russia. New additions to the fauna are expected from the Far East and other regions.

The review analyses Die Geburt des Russländischen Imperiums. Herrschaftskonzepte und -praktiken im 18. Jahrhundert. Beiträge zur Geschichte Osteuropas (The Birth of the Russian Empire: Concepts and Practices of Domination in the 18th Century) by Ricarda Vulpius. The author of the monograph focuses on the question of when Russia became an empire. Vulpius pays special attention to the discussion around this problem in relation to the eighteenth century and offers her own solution to the problem using the Begriffsgeschichte methodology. The historian connects such concepts as imperial discourse and colonialism. In her opinion, a major role in the formation of the imperial idea in Russia was played by the development of the territories of Siberia and the Far East, the Caucasus and the lands inhabited by Bashkirs, Kalmyks, and Kazakhs. Despite the thoroughness of the work carried out, the book is not without drawbacks. They are due to the narrowness of the source base of the study and the impossibility of using the Begriffsgeschichte approach in analysing the structures created for the management of the indigenous population of the Russian Empire.

A review of the collection of memoirs of Benedict Dybovsky, which recreated the events of his stay in Siberian exile after the suppression of the January 1863 uprising in Poland. The author describes in detail his “involuntary journey” from St. Petersburg to Transbaikalia, made as part of the stage party of Polish exiles, recreates paintings of hard labor and everyday life in the settlement. The pages of the diary also tell about the author's scientific research conducted by him in Dauria, the Far East and, of course, on the shores of Lake Baikal in 1864–1877.

Alma M. Karlin, a young woman adventurer who made her journey around the world between 1919 and 1927, stayed in Japan for a little more than a year. As a young woman without significant funds, she relied on her own ability to earn a living during her stay in the country. Among the items she brought back from Japan to Slovenia there are many small objects which are not typical “exotic objects from the Far East”. They are rather small and trivial items such as a wall calendar, a streetcar ticket, children’s miniature toys, a part of ceremonial wrappings, and paper bookmarks. This paper focuses on the small and untypical items Karlin brought back from Japan. Karlin’s travelogue and other writings, including her notes on the unused postcards, give us some information about her life in Japan. Together with her travelogue, notes and messages on the objects in her legacy, we can reconstruct some aspects of her everyday life in Japan. Though small and trivial, such items collected by Karlin reveal some important details of her experience in the central part of Tokyo in the Taishō period.
