The article considers the nominative-derivational potential of the words polden and polnoch in the East Slavic languages. The nominative-derivational potential is understood as the ability of lexical units to produce nominative means. The objectives of the study include identifying the composition of the indicated vocabulary and the range of concepts they express for Old Rus and modern times. The analysis has involved about 200 units of nomination and showed that the East Slavic languages significantly developed these word families, with their nominative-derivational capabilities mainly realized in folk speech through rich lexical synonymy. The comparison has revealed a greater power of the word family polden compared to polnoch, as well as a greater formal-semantic variety of its derivatives, which is explained by its numerous meanings due to the special role of daylight in human life. The semantics of the source words determined the nature of the nominative spheres marked with derivative units (“Time”, “Nature”, “Man”), reflecting the accumulated socio-worldview experience of closely related peoples, their close relationship. The structure and meaning of derivatives in different languages have both common and special features. The commonnes is expressed by the unimodel formations and their synonymy (Rus. opolnoch, Ukr. opivnich, Bls. aponachy, Rusin. opivnich, upunochi), specificity – by their formal and meaningful uniqueness: Rus. mezhpolden ‘south side’, odnopoldenok ‘light time of day’, poldenoshnik‘milking bucket’, Ukr. adverbs pivdennishe, pivnichniche, Blr. names of mythological creatures, Rusin. dopoludnyar, ‘shepherdʼ, upidpoludne ʽ in the first half of the day’ and others. Together, they demonstrate the nominative-derivational potential of the names of the light and dark day time climax, which developed, inter alia, under the mutual influence of closely related languages.

The article explores the tradition of dialogue in Islam and Islamic history and its importance in facilitating an inter-faith and cross-cultural dialogue with the West across the binary that has been increasingly strengthened since 2001. The rise in religious extremism and hegemony is an indicator of not only a crisis in religious authority, but also an absence of dialogue, the very dialogue that had shaped and conceptualized Islam and its tradition and is an inherent part of it. I examine the way The Amman Message and A Common Word between Us and You bring back the role of dialogue and consensus in reconstructing Islam and how this has contributed to the dialogue at the international level. I also examine the role enlightenment thinking has played in promoting religious dialogue at both the internal and external levels, with the text, with traditional scholars, and with non-Muslim scholars and the non-Muslim public.

The article is devoted to the issues of the formation of a special language personality type, which is defined through the collaboration of cultures in its structure. The originality of the language personality is based on the interaction of different types of speech culture and different national cultures. The article studies sociocultural factors that can lead to a dialogue of cultures in the structure of a language personality. These factors can be common for the whole society and for an individual. The example of a language personality, in the structure of which there is a dialogue of speech cultures, is Maxim Gorky, a writer who is known for a creative attitude to the word. The dialogue of different national cultures is a mark of originality of the language personality of a modern rock poet Boris Grebenshchikov. It influenced his poetic language. The quality of assimilation of different cultures is realized at the level of meanings of a polysemous word, while either the meanings of the word refer to different cultures, or connotations, related to a particular culture, stick to the major meaning of the word.

The subject of this research is the peculiarities of development of culturology in Russia and China. Based on comparative analysis of the studies dedicated to history, religion, language and mentality of both countries, the author reveals the key characteristics of cultural peculiarities of Russia and Chin. The interest towards this topic is substantiated by the existing cross-cultural contacts between Russia and China at various levels, as well as the factors and role of contiguity of different cultures in the period of globalization and cultural integration. The goal of this research consists in comparative analysis of the peculiarities of development of Chinese and Russian culturology. The author determines the peculiarities of development of the Russian and Chinese cultures, which allows forecasting the future and potential of both. The conclusion  is substantiated that Russian culture bears the traits characteristic to Western civilizations, while Chinese culture is typically Eastern. It is established that the peculiarities of development of culturology in Russia are closely related to education, and thus are of integrative nature (a combination of philosophical, sociological and psychological positions). The specifics of culturology in China is reflected in the fact that it is based on the ideas of Marxism, Neo-Confucianism and axiology. The conducted research contains the scientific novelty, since many scholars justifiably place emphasis on the cross-cultural dialogues. Namely these processes contribute to deepening the existing knowledge on peculiarities of Russian and Chinese cultures.

In our increasingly diverse societies, it is essential to ensure harmonious interaction among peoples and groups with plural, varied, and dynamic cultural identities as well as a willingness to co-exist. Therefore, the fostering of dialogue among cultures and peoples can only occur on the basis of the recognition of and respect for cultural diversity. In this context, for the dialogue and the interaction across the cultures, educators need to create educational actions and strategies so that cross-cultural dialogue and interaction may take place. Philately and music are two tools that can help teachers in that direction. Philately is the study of stamps, postal history, and other related items. Philately is an incredible journey into the world of stamps which give a unique view of the history and culture of a country. Stamp collections entail a wide range of topics. In this paper, we considered it useful to confine to thematics related to music, musical instruments, great musicians, etc. The present study aims at showing how specific stamp thematics can be used as a means towards teaching music and, in particular, history of music; musical instruments; and ethnomusicology. It also aims at highlighting how students, through observation and research, can discover information about other cultures and nations by taking up a creative and affordable hobby that is both educational and fun. Last, the present research focuses on how philately and stamp collections related to music can become an effective educational tool for teachers and the educational system towards promoting cross-cultural dialogue and interaction.

Received 11.01.2020. The article discusses the problem of the decline in the spirit of Indian secularism, both in connection with the significant loss of popularity of the INC party and the general crisis of liberal values in the world, examines the reasons for the complication of intercommunal dialogue and the reduction of public space for tolerance. The understanding of such key ideas as secularism, religious tolerance, multiculturalism, pluralism in political culture and society determines not only its prospects on its path to modernization, but also determines the fate of these societies. In addition to the ideological confrontation around the listed concepts within the Indian political system, the study examines the special role of educational institutions at all levels and the media in expanding the space of public dialogue and also outlines the difficulties faced by the country’s political institutions. Based on the examples of recent experience in resolving the Kashmir problem and the adoption of the Citizenship Law, an attempt is made to assess the mutual influence of the secular self-awareness of Indians and religious dynamics in a complex structured Indian society on political processes. The paper assesses the impact of the Hindutva ideology on reducing the degree of secularity in modern India and the role of the Sangh Parivar family (Hindu ethno-nationalist organizations) in the course of the country’s forced “saffronization” policy.

Статья посвящена одному из лидеров позднего славянофильства, богослову и публицисту генералу А. А. Кирееву (1833-1910) и его участию в работе религиозно-философских собраний в Санкт-Петербурге начала ХХ века. В статье обсуждается доклад, прочитанный Киреевым на одном из собраний и посвящённый вопросу догматического развития. В нём Киреев высказал своё отношение по ряду актуальных вопросов, волновавших русское общество: состояние диалога между Церковью и интеллигенцией; критика западных исповеданий и перспективы межхристианского диалога; взаимоотношение вселенского догмата и местного предания; влияние особенностей национального менталитета на характер развития религии; перспективы и условия построения самобытной русской культуры на новых началах и др. В статье анализируется попытка Киреева придать исключительное значение нравственному учению в ущерб догматическому преданию Церкви. Также приводятся материалы из сочинений и дневниковых записей Киреева, которые позволяют представить себе культурный контекст и настроения русских религиозных мыслителей славянофильского направления в период обсуждения вопроса о необходимости обновления Русской Церкви и реформировании системы её управления. Среди прочего подчёркивается влияние идеалистической философии и либерального западного богословия (прежде всего старокатолического) на формирование взглядов А. А. Киреева. Упоминается о его контактах с В. С. Соловьевым и Ф. М. Достоевским и о той роли, которую отводил Киреев религиозной философии и литературе в деле построения русской самобытной культуры на новых началах. General Alexander Kireyev (1833-1910) was a Slavophile leader, theologian and political writer who took part in a series of religious and philosophical meetings in the early 20th century St. Petersburg. The article refers to his report on dogmatic development that was presented at one of the meetings. Kireyev expressed his views on several problems regarded as vital in the Russian society: interaction between the Church and intelligentsia, criticism of Western Christian denominations, scopes for ecumenical dialogue, relations between universal dogma and local tradition, impact of ethnic mentality on the development of religion, prospects and conditions needed to develop new foundations for an original Russian culture. The article examines Kireyev’s endeavor to put an ethical doctrine over the church’s dogmatic teaching. Kireyev’s works and diaries are quoted to help the reader to conceive the cultural context and the mindset of the Slavophile religious thinkers in the age of the debate over a renewal of the Russian Church and reform of her polities. The author stresses the influence of idealistic philosophy and liberal Western theology (mainly Old Catholic) on the development of Kireyev’s ideas, mentioning also his connections with Solovyov and Dostoevsky and evaluating Kireyev’s views on the special role of religious philosophy and literature in developing new foundations for an original Russian culture.
