For the history of the Moscow Symbolist publishing house “Musaget”, which in the early years of its existence was a circle of like-minded people who sought occult knowledge, in many respects the key years were 1913–1914. The fascination with anthroposophy of some of the employees of Musaget caused rejection on the part of the founder of the publishing house, E.K. Metner, who defended the principle of serving culture, and not one of the spiritual teachings. The diary of N.P. Kiselev, who took up the post of secretary in the publishing house during the separation, reflects not only the daily life of the editorial office, but also attempts to reunite different directions of “Musaget”.

The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge was established 8 March 1699. It flourishes happily to this day as a leading Anglican missionary society (it was the first within the Anglican communion), and as the major Anglican publishing house. It is then important in many other connexions than as a founder and an instigator of the foundation of schools. In its early years especially it diffused its energies among a bewildering variety of projects, religious, moral, social and educational. The notes below are concerned with one group only of the Society's multifarious activities, and with but one archival source of information upon them. There is some interest and value in the study of the aims and methods of the Society in the establishment under its auspices of some 1,500 English schools, mainly during the period 1704–32. Much light is thrown upon the ideals and the proceedings of the Society and its members in this connexion by references in the annual Charity Sermons preached during this same period

The aim of our study is to analyze the financial aspect of the history of the publishing house “World Literature” bearing on the material of the state archives (Maxim Gorky Archive of the A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences in particular). The archival materials demonstrate that the main factor in gaining access to finance in the early years of the RSFSR were personal relations that had become the only reliable source of income in the destabilized post-October Revolution economy. The Bolshevik leaders who came to power mainly counted on their pre-revolutionary allies and relatives, a motley crowd in the ideological sense. There was a sharp competition for property and finance between the newly created People’s Commissars whose leaders were Lenin’s proxies. The decisions made by the Council of People’s Commissars, by the Politburo, and by various party commissions were not implemented, or even openly sabotaged in many cases when it came to financing certain sectors of the economy or culture. The competition between the People’s Commissariat for Education in Moscow (Lunacharsky) and the State Publishing House (controlled by Zinoviev and his entourage) was the determining factor in the history of financing the publishing house “World Literature.”

The article is devoted to the genesis of personal and eponymous nicknames as a vivid phenomenon in the history of language and speech, which has irrefutable potential for developing methods of teaching and educating schoolchildren. The main varieties of nicknames, the conditions for their formation and the specifics of daily life in different historical periods are considered. The interconnections of nicknames with similar and related phenomena of Russian and European speech cultures are analyzed.
