Looking into the history of the objects and phenomena under study is necessary forboth the enrichment of any research and, accordingly, for the presentation of its results on maps. In addition, historical maps can be useful for studying those methods of mapping that were practiced before, and which can be used nowadays. There is an obvious need to pay more attention to historical maps in the process of training students in thematic mapping so that they get basic ideas about the principles and methods of compiling, designing old maps, and learn to understand the content and capabilities of using them in scientific and practical work. Geohistorical approach is interesting in studying various aspects of natural and socio-economic phenomena. The article deals with issues related to displaying the opportunities of using old and antique thematic maps at training cartography students at Geography Faculty of Moscow State University.

<p>The largest continental igneous province, the Siberian Traps, was formed within the Siberian platform at the Paleozoic-Mesozoic boundary, ca. 252 million years ago. Despite the continuous and extensive investigation of the duration and rate of trap magmatism on the Siberian platform, these questions are still debated. Moreover, the post-Paleozoic thermal history of the Siberian platform is almost unknown. This study aims to reconstruct the thermal history of the Siberian platform during the last 250 Myr using the low-temperature thermochronometry. We have studied intrusive complexes from different parts of the Siberian platform, such as the Kotuy dike, the Odikhincha, Magan and Essey ultrabasic alkaline massifs, the Norilsk-1 and Kontayskaya intrusions, and the Padunsky sill. We use apatite fission-track (AFT) thermochronology to assess the time since the rocks were cooled below 110℃. Obtained AFT ages (207-173 Ma) are much younger than available U-Pb and Ar/Ar ages of the traps. This pattern might be interpreted as a long cooling of the studied rocks after their emplacement ca. 250 Ma, but this looks quite unlikely because contradicts to the geological observations. Most likely, the rocks were buried under a thick volcanic-sedimentary cover and then exhumed and cooled below 110℃ ca. 207-173 Ma. Considering the increased geothermal gradient up to 50℃/km at that times, we can estimate the thickness of the removed overlying volcanic-sedimentary cover up to 207-173 Ma as about 2-3 km.</p><p>The research was carried out with the support of RFBR (grants 20-35-90066, 18-35-20058, 18-05-00590 and 18-05-70094) and the Program of development of Lomonosov Moscow State University.</p>

AbstractThe article introduces readers to the current state of Slovak studies in Russia. The fate of Slavic studies in Russia is complicated and it has had its ups (late 19th and early 20th century) and downs (1920s and 1930s), but until now there has been a multidisciplinary tradition of studying all Slavic peoples, their languages, literature, history and culture. The article focuses on the study of Slovak language, literature, history and culture at Moscow State University, the Institute for Slavic Studies in Moscow, and Saint-Petersburg State University. It deals with the main researchers and their work and publications. The article is based on general research into the history of Slavic studies carried out by leading Russian scientists.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Currently Russia faces great challenges in mapping its large transport system to characterize transport as an important sector of the national economy, as well as the country's place in the system of Eurasian corridors and the economic space of Eurasia as a whole. The Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics of the Faculty of Geography of Moscow State University has been working on the creation of a spatial database and geo-information support to assess the state and functioning of the transport system of Russia.</p><p>The concept of using a system approach and special geographic research is proposed. This concept includes the workflow from designing the GIS project architecture and database creation to thematic mapping and visualization of results in the form of a Geo-resource. The final goal of the project is creating the Internet geoinformation resource. The practical realization of the Geo-Resource is based on the development of a special mapping application integrated into the structure of the resource and connection of this application to Geo-Database as a main depository of spatial information.</p>

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 research analyzed the biography of the editors of the newspaper of the 2nd Moscow State University "Za Leninym" as well as their role in the management of the publication. We used archival documents of the 2nd Moscow State University which have not been studied before. The newspaper "Za Leninym" was published from 1926 to 1930. Its editors were students and employees of the 2nd Moscow State University. In the 1920s of the twentieth century university mass media were established. There was an acute shortage of professionals who could help the large-circulation press to reach a professional level. The study found that media played an important ideological, informative, and educational role. The newspaper "Za Leninym" was no exception. The leadership of the 2nd Moscow State University was genuinely interested in publishing a newspaper, the editorial board was appointed, the issues of the newspaper and the content of "Za Leninym" were repeatedly discussed. The role of newspaper editors in its development and improvement of the quality of the content of materials and layout was also crucial. Especially it is interesting to learn about the editors who really made a big contribution into science and in the history of the country (Y. Uranovsky, A. Bagdasarov, Y. Bugaysky). Thanks to the editors the newspaper which they wanted to close at its very beginning really took off and was being published regularly until 1930 under the name "Za Leninym", and since 1931 under the name "Kultarmeets".

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.
