Among Russian researchers of Palestine, there is the name of Archimandrite Leonid (Kavelin) (1822–1891) who was a prominent church figure of the second half of the 20th century and was mainly known for his guide to the Holy Land. How ever, other aspects of his scientific research in Palestine have not been revealed or examined yet. Moreover, his major archaeological discovery has gone completely unnoticed both in foreign and national science. The article deals with the main areas of Father Leonid’s research, which is thematically related to the Holy Land. One of these areas for him was always the study of Christian shrines and antiquities of Old Jerusalem. The author of the article highlights the scholar’s special interest in the history of Eastern monasticism. For the first time, the author summarizes the experience of Father Leonid’s archaeological expeditions to the northern, eastern and southern regions of Palestine, which became the second most important center of Eastern monasticism in ancient times. Special attention is also paid to the scholar’s important discovery — the location of the Pharan Lavra founded by Saint Chariton the Confessor in En Prat in the 4th century. The history of the pilgrimage to the Holy Land was of paramount importance for Father Leonid. As an archaeographer, he focused on studying the monuments of pilgrimage literature, a major part of which was dedicated to the descriptions of shrines and antiquities of Old Jerusalem. The author notes the scholar’s significant contribution to the creation of a source-study base of research, the development of textual study and paleography, and the development of methods for studying pilgrimage writings. An analysis of the scholar’s most significant studies related to the Palestinian theme makes it possible for the reader to better understand the contribution of Father Leonid to biblical archeology at the early stage of its formation as an independent branch of theology.

The article aims to study the personality of Taras Shevchenko in the reflections of the Cyril and Methodius Society Members. The investigators of the figures of the Cyril and Methodius Society, the epistolary and memoir legacy of the participants of the Ukrainian National Movement and their sympathizers are analyzed. As a result, it is argued that the Cyril and Methodius Society Members had fruitful intellectual contacts with T. Shevchenko, knew well and highly respected his work, realized the importance of the poet as a true Ukrainian populist, who made a significant contribution to the national-cultural revival of Ukrainian culture and the creation of a Ukrainian national consciousness It was proved that the activities of the Cyril and Methodius completely coincided with the meaning of Shevchenkoʼs poetic creativity, while the charismatic personality of Kobzar organically entered into the intellectual core of the Cyril and Methodius Society circle, and made a powerful moral and psychological influence on the conscious Ukrainian youth. Members of the Cyril and Methodius Society appreciated the uncompromisingness, courage, radicalism, and deep folk of Shevchenkoʼs poetry. Ukrainian patriotism, patriotism for the fate of the native people united T. Shevchenko with other figures of the society, despite some ideological differences. Progressive Ukrainian youth valued Kobzar for great poetry talent, artistic plastic, extraordinary melodic singing, penetrating mind, deep vital sensibility and, at the same time, unique comic, humor and satire. At the same time, communicating with ideological supporters gav T. Shevchenko a new creative inspiration. During this period the Ukrainian poet was in a state of creative exaltation. It is concluded that the reflections of the Members of the Cyril and Mefodius Society, especially M. I. Kostomarov, P. O. Kulish, G. L. Andruzsky, V. M. Bilozersky, M. I. Gulak, O. D. Tulub, and others, written as during the life of T. Shevchenko, and retrospectively, is an important historical source of life and activity of Kobzar, one of the most prominent representatives of the Ukrainian national elite. The empirical article is written on various documentary and narrative primary sources, for the first time actualizes the problem of historical memory in the Ukrainian national movement at the beginning of its cultural-political stage, contains the original generalizations and conclusions regarding T. Shevchenko as a Ukrainian nation рорulist and harbinger of the Ukrainian national idea in reflections of the Cyril and Methodius Society Members. The material of the article may have practical application in scientific studios on the history of the Ukrainian national movement and the educational process of higher education.

The article is devoted to the history of a unique collection made by famous American patron and curator Peggy Guggenheim. For several decades, she has been gathering works by European Cubists, Abstractionists and Surrealists, creating the huge collection of the 20th century art. But she made the most significant contribution to the development and popularization of modernism by organizing the «Art of this Century» gallery in New York. This gallery hosted for the first time exhibitions of artists who later became known as abstract expressionists. Their work loudly declared itself on the international art scene and won worldwide recognition. В фокусе внимания автора статьи — история создания уникального собрания произведений искусства ХХ века, принадлежавшего известной американской меценатке и куратору Пегги Гуггенхайм. На протяжении нескольких десятилетий она коллекционировала картины европейских кубистов, абстракционистов и сюрреалистов. Но самый значительный вклад в развитие и популяризацию модернизма она внесла, организовав в Нью-Йорке галерею «Искусство этого века», в которой впервые были проведены выставки художников, позже ставших классиками абстрактного экспрессионизма США, магистрального направления, громко заявившего о себе на международной художественной сцене и завоевавшего всемирное признание.

"In den Jahren nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde im Jenaer Zeiss-Werk im Auftrag des Deutschen Museums in München das Projektionsplanetarium als immersives Modell des Universums entwickelt. In ihm hallte eine lange Geschichte von Himmelsgloben, Armillarsphären, Astrolabien und mechanischen Planetarien nach, die seit der Antike als astronomische Demonstrationsobjekte gedient hatten. Erstmals aber fand sich diese Aufgabe nun mit einer Simulation des raum-zeitlichen In-der-Welt-Seins des Menschen verbunden. In the years following the First World War, commissioned by the German Museum in Munich, the projection planetarium was developed as an immersive model of the universe at the Zeiss plant in Jena. In it, a long history of celestial globes, armillary spheres, astrolabes, and mechanical planetaria resonated, which had served as astronomical demonstration objects since ancient times. For the first time, however, this task was associated with a simulation of man’s spaciotemporal being-in-the-world. "

The overthrow of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War opened a new chapter in the history of the Holy Land. New and particular local tensions arose, especially in the aftermath of the Balfour Declaration between Jews and Arabs. In the post-war settlement, the British Mandate in Palestine gave rulership to a Christian power - and one with its own established Church - for the first time since the thirteenth century. Within the Christian community itself, the rise of an ecumenical movement also changed perspectives, challenging the rivalries which were particularly evident at that central shrine of Christianity, the Holy Sepulchre. The visit of Archbishop Lang of Canterbury to Palestine and Jerusalem in 1931 illustrates the primate’s own personal responses to the experience of the Holy Land, while also reflecting the need for tact and diplomacy in dealing with a particular set of circumstances in which the presence of the leader of the Anglican communion might be seen as intrusive, even threatening, to the religious modus vivendi already established there between Christians.

In 1906, an all-Ukrainian national pilgrimage set off from Lviv to the Holy Land, in which more than 500 people took part. This was the first official pilgrimage from Ukraine after the glorious Danylo the Pilgrim. It became possible thanks to Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi. The details of this pilgrimage are described in detail in a commemorative book entitled «How Russ followed in the footsteps of Danylo», published in 1907 by the Publishing House of the Basilian Fathers in Zhovkva. However, this book does not mention anything about one of the grandiose projects of Metropolitan Andrey in the Middle East, which consisted in the creation of a Studite Monastery and a Pilgrim Center for pilgrims from Ukraine in Bethlehem. Negotiations on this matter with the Melchite Patriarch Cyril VIII were initiated by Metropolitan Andrey. The core of the project was of a Uniate character, since in the Metropolitan’s plans the Monastery with a Pilgrimage Center was to become a place of mutual knowledge and rapprochement between Orthodox and Catholics. For the realization of this aim, Metropolitan Andrey had allocated very respectable funds, and also began to train appropriate personnel from the Studite monks. But, unfortunately, due to various circumstances, mainly because of the outbreak of the First World War, this project was never implemented. In the Central State Historical Archive of Lviv there are many documents that shed light on the various stages of the implementation of the project for the construction of the Studite monastery and pilgrimage center for the Ukrainians in Bethlehem. This article presents the entire story of the planned but unfinished project of Metropolitan Andrey. Archival documents and their translations are published for the first time. Keywords: Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, Patriarch Cyril VIII, monks of the Studites, father Pierre Kure, Sknylivska Lavra of St. Anthony of the Pechersky Studites Rules.

Статья посвящена серии акварелей «Campi Phlegraei», исполненной итальянским художником Пьетро Де Фабрисом (годы жизни не известны) во время научной экспедиции лорда Уильяма Гамильтона (1730–1803), посланника Великобритании, к кратеру Везувия. Оба они — художник и У. Гамильтон, меценат и коллекционер, увлеченно занимавшийся вулканологией, были яркими фигурами истории и культуры века Просвещения. Их сотрудничество является подтверждением научных и художественных достижений культуры Италии в век «просвещенного абсолютизма», когда в Королевстве обеих Сицилий правила династия испанских Бурбонов.
