This is the first publication of eleven consecutive letters exchanged in 1892 by the profound Russian intellectual, philosopher and publicist Vasily Rozanov and Anatoly Aleksandrov, a modest poet and a budding journalist. The publication is accompanied by a study of the reasons for their relationship and of the initial stage of their spiritual rapprochement. Rozanov and Aleksandrov started their correspondence in 1892, both being devoted followers of the outstanding Russian religiousthinker Konstantin Leontiev and admirers of his intellectual heritage. Over time, their relationship changed significantly, but they maintained personal contacts until Rozanov’s death. Mainly thanks to Aleksandrov, the influential highranking official and patron of young neo-Slavophile talents, Terty Filippov, showed interest in Rozanov, wo then was still little known in Russian intellectual circles and served as an inconspicuous teacher in the provincial town of Bely (Smolensk province). Having acquired the support of their high-ranking patron, Aleksandrov and Rozanov considered 1892 to be a turning point for their social status: Aleksandrov was appointed chief editor of the journal Russkoe Obozrenie in Moscow, while Rozanov obtained the opportunity to move to St. Petersburg when Filippov promised to hire him for a small position in the State Control, where Filippov was the chief. The recently found unknown archival drafts of letters from Vassily Rozanov to Filippov and Filippov’s letters back to Rozanov (from the collection of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art) and also excerpts from Filippov's diary of 1892 (in the possession of the Russian State Historical Archive) are published and analyzed here. Changes in Rozanov’s views on some aspects of the philosophical work of Konstanstin Leontiev are also investigated.

This article is devoted to two practically unknown photo collections that visualize Turkestan at the beginning of the twentieth century. The first, stored in the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA) and consisting of 4 photo albums, was collected during the Senate audit of the Turkestan Territory under the leadership of Count K. K. Palen in 1908—1909. The second collection of photographs, shot in 1911—1913 in Turkestan, is part of a large and diverse personal photo collection of hydrologist engineer N. M. Shchapov, stored in the Central State Archive of Moscow, the Center for the Storage of Electronic and Audiovisual Documents (TsGAM TsKHEAVD). Photocollections of the Senate audit (under the leadership of K. K. Palen) and hydro engineer N. M. Schapov, in our opinion, can be considered a visualization of modernization in Turkestan and a manifestation at the general imperial level of the appearance of another, industrial, Turkestan.

The article deals with one of the most important and at the same time completely events in the biography of Baysungur of Benoy (1794–1861), the Chechen Naib during the Caucasian War of the 19th cent., namely his stay at Ghunib (August 1859) and his personal presence at the capture of Imam Shamil. This episode has recently attracted much attention and became a subject of various speculations both with a scholarly and ideological background. The author based her research on a wide array of hitherto unknown as well as already published documents. The latter, however, have not received enough attention. The unpublished sources originate from the Russian State Military Historical Archive (Moscow), the State Archive of the Kaluga Region, the Central State Archive of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, etc. This cornucopea of rich historical data allows her to reconstruct in detail the very last period of the Imam Shamil State and to successfully put it within the framework of the and political situation in the Caucasus in 1859. A detailed analysis of numerous local sources, which are written in Arabic and directly originate from the Imam Shamil environment as well as the papers from the headquarters of the Russian Imperial Caucasian Army leads to a convincing conclusion regarding the whereabouts of Naib Baysungur in August 1859. It proves that at that time he was definitively away from Ghunib.

The article studies the peculiarities of the state and confessional policy of the Russian Empire in the 19th - early 20th centuries in relation to Roman Catholics. The materials that served as the basis for the study are stored both in the Russian State Historical Archive and in the archives of Siberian cities: Tobolsk, Tomsk, Omsk, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk. Government orders of identical content were sent to all Siberian provincial centers, but in Tomsk they are in the best state of preservation, which gave us the opportunity to systematize them and use them for analysis. Government orders of identical content were sent to all Siberian provincial centers, but they are in the Tomsk State Archive in the best degree of preservation, which gave us the opportunity to systematize them and use them for analysis. The study revealed that the initiative to create the first Catholic parishes in Siberia belonged to the government and was dictated by the desire to remove the clergy of the Jesuit оrder from the capital...

The article, based on archival sources, provides new information about two godchildren of F.M. Dostoevsky: Platon Milyukov (with clarification of the name, date and place of his baptism) and Grigoriy Snitkin (the fact of the writer's participation in the baptism has not yet been noted in the biographical literature). Two authentic metric records found in the Central State Archive of Saint Petersburg are put into scientific circulation, allowing to supplement or correct the information contained in the “Chronicle of the life and work” of the writer. The attraction of documentary sources (stored in the Russian State Historical Archive of service and form lists), analysis of the preserved epistolary, reference and biographical literature allowed to attempt to systematize all available data about Grigoriy Ivanovich Snitkin and for the first time to make a biographical reference about his person, native nephew of Anna Grigoryevna Dostoevsky and godson of the writer – thus adding information about F.M. Dostoevsky’s family circle.

This publication is an analytical review of the ambiguous and complex fate of Nikolai Gavriilovich Galkin, the son of a hereditary nobleman who became a career army officer who took an active part in the First World War and the Civil War, who consistently served in the Russian (imperial) army, and then anti-Bolshevik armed formations in the Russian Far East. The second half of the life of the captain N. G. Galkin was associated with living in China, where the hero of the publication emigrated for political and personal reasons. The aim of our research is to represent, in the context of military anthropology, the forms of adaptation of the «little man» to the conditions of social cataclysms. The methodological concept of the study, based on its genre characteristics, is based on the combined use of the anthropological approach, the theory of social mobility and the biographical method. The basis for the preparation of the article was a complex of previously unpublished sources from the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Historical Archive, the Russian State Military Historical Archive, the Russian State Historical Archive of the Far East, the State Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan, the State Archive of the Khabarovsk Territory, the archive of the Federal Security Service of Russia in the Novosibirsk Region. Some of these sources were previously in secret storage. Photos and oral history (family information about the hero of the article) have an auxiliary role in the study. In conclusion, the authors emphasize that a conservative upbringing and worldview would not have allowed N.G. Galkin, who had persistent anti-Bolshevik convictions, to find himself in the conditions of Soviet society, and therefore, being in exile was for him the only way out in the conditions of the end of the Civil War and defeat anti- Soviet forces. The work is addressed to a wide range of readers, including specialists in the history of the Russian (imperial) army, the First World War and the Civil War, the White movement, the Harbin emigration, mass political repressions in the USSR in the post-war period.

The paper studies the specifics of censorship control over journalism in Tomsk province in the 19th–early 20th centuries revealed through studying censorship files of the Russian State Historical Archive and the State Archive of the Tomsk Region. The authors substantiate the relevance of the study, present a brief overview of the previous writings and sources, disclose the study stages, and provide general conclusions on the study. The specifics of journalistic censorship in Tomsk province, which serves as a provincial periodical press model in this study, include, first, its “lag” from the metropolitan censorship processes. The officials who exercised censorship in the provinces lacked high qualification; therefore, they were either unreasonably strict or overly liberal. The archive files contain evidence of constant disputes between editors and censors, as well as complaints regarding censorship procedures that were handled by the Chief Office of the Press. The situation improved with the appointment of a single censor in Tomsk. Thanks to his work, the process of cooperation with editorial boards was streamlined, and reports started to provide valuable details on circulation and the staff of Tomsk periodicals. Second, the censorship cases with respect to journalism in Tomsk province revealed the idea of Tomsk provincialism, which permeated the cultural environment of ante-revolutionary Siberia. This makes the study of archive files an important step in restoring a complete picture of the development of Siberian society and journalism.

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to identify the typological diversity of unrealized publications of the pre-revolutionary Tomsk province at the beginning of the 20th century, details of which are in the censorship affairs of the Main Department of Press Affairs (Russian State Historical Archive) and Tomsk Province Administration (Tomsk Region State Archive). Results. The information preserved in the archives, including the programs of the conceived editions of the cities of the Tomsk pre-revolutionary province, such as Barnaul, Novo-Nikolaevsk, Biysk, Kainsk, and others, make it possible to draw a conclusion about their typological status and, in some cases, to identify the possible reasons why the publication was not carried out. Among them are political motives, economic reasons and organizational difficulties. The conducted study allows us to conclude that the typological picture of the development of journalism in the Tomsk province becomes much more complicated if, along with the realized publications, to take into account unrealized projects of newspapers and magazines. The typology of most of the unrealized editions of the cities of the Tomsk province coincided with the newspapers and magazines of Tomsk, but some of the ideas reflect the desire of journalists to create bodies of periodicals of new types. Conclusion. The studied materials indicate that the study of the history of the development of provincial journalism is impossible without taking into account archival data, which allow us to see the possible vectors of development of the typological picture of the local periodicals.
