The article examines Church-state relations in the history of Russia in the late 10th–17th centuries, i.e. from the moment of the initiation of the Russian Church to the end of the first Patriarchal period. The controversial character of the relations between the Russian secular and ecclesiastical authorities, the influence of various Church and political traditions on the real situation in Russian history is shown, as well as the process of Russian Church independence formation is studied, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the strengthening of state interference into Church life. The author comes to the conclusion that Russian secular rulers, Church hierarchs and spiritual and political thinkers were never afraid to creatively rethink traditions and canons depending on the actual external and internal circumstances.

Статья повествует о церковно-государственных отношениях в Новосибирской и Барнаульской епархии в 1960-1970-е годы. Целью данной статьи является обзор исторических документов и архивных источников по истории Новосибирской и Барнаульской епархии в период с 1964 по 1972 годы. Для достижения поставленной цели были проанализированы архивные материалы по истории Новосибирской и Барнаульской епархии за указанный период, что позволило раскрыть сложный характер церковно-государственных отношений в данной епархии. После непродолжительного пребывания на Новосибирской кафедре архиепископа Кассиана (Ярославского; 1963-1964 гг.) в Новосибирск был назначен архиепископ Павел (Голышев; 1964-1972 гг.), при котором в епархии особенно обострились церковно-государственные отношения. The article tells about church-state relations in Novosibirsk and Barnaul diocese in 1960-1970s. The purpose of this article is a review of historical documents and archival sources on the history of the Novosibirsk and Barnaul diocese in the period from 1964 to 1972. In order to achieve this aim we analyzed the archival materials on the history of Novosibirsk and Barnaul diocese for this period, which allowed to reveal the complex nature of church-state relations in this diocese. After short stay on Novosibirsk chair by archbishop Kassian (Yaroslavsky; 1963-1964), archbishop Pavel (Golyshev; 1964-1972) was appointed to Novosibirsk, during which time the church-state relations in the diocese especially aggravated.

The history of mental development on the one and the history of his writings on the other hand form the two separate but essentially intertwined strands of an archeology of Ernst Bloch´s thought undertaken in this book. Bloch as a philosopher is peculiar in that his initial access to thought rose from the depths of early, painful experience. To give expression to this experience, he not only needed to develop new categories, but first and foremost had to find words for it: the experience of the uncanny and the abysmal, of which he tells in Spuren, is on the level of philosophical theory juxtaposed by the “Dunkel des gerade gelebten Augenblicks” (darkness of the moment just lived) and his discovery of a “Noch-nicht-Bewusstes” (not-yet-conscious), thus metaphysically undermining the classical Oedipus complex in the succession of Freud. In this book, psyche, work and the history of the 20th century appear concentrated in Ernst Bloch the philosopher and contemporary witness, who paid tribute to these supra-individual powers in his work as much as he hoped to transgress them.

Abstract The role of the diaries and memoirs in the process of the conscious self-reflection and their contribution to the emergence of modern individual personalities are well-known facts of the intellectual history. The present paper intends to analyze a special form of the creation of modern individual character; it is the self-creation of the writer as a conscious personality, often with a clearly formulated opinion about her/his own social role. There will be offered several examples from the 19th-century history of the Hungarian intelligentsia. This period is more or less identical with the modernization of the “cultural industry” in Hungary, dominated by the periodicals with their deadlines, fixed lengths of the articles, and professional editing houses on the one hand and the cultural nation building on the other. Concerning the possible social and cultural role of the intelligentsia, it is the moment of the birth of a new type, so-called public intellectual. I will focus on three written sources, a diary of a Calvinist student of theology, Péter (Litkei) Tóth, the memoirs of an influential public intellectual, Gusztáv Szontagh, and a belletristic printed diary of a young intellectual, János Asbóth.

While Orestes Brownson’s works are the object of renewed interest, his writings on the relationship between Church and polity have received little notice. Some attention has been given to Brownson’s analysis of these issues in America, but little has been given to his views on Church and polity in Europe and the West more broadly. This article considers Brownson’s analysis of the history of Church-state relations in Europe to examine how it shaped his view of Church-state relations in the U.S. It then put Brownson in dialogue with subsequent Catholic debates in America about those relations down to the present.

Transimperial History – Connectivity, Cooperation and Competition This Forum article argues that a turn in empire history is needed, one which we label «transimperial». Whereas national history has been transnationalized in recent decades, the history of empires has, by and large, remained nationalized. Since transnational history, global history, postcolonial studies and new imperial history all offer an abundance of tools to tear down imperial borders and deconstruct nationalized narratives, the moment seems to have come for a shift, namely for what we call a transimperial approach to imperial history. We seek to show how such an approach makes it possible to dynamize and decentralize the history of empires both on the level of empirical research and historiographical narratives. By including marginalized empires we offer a way to overcome British centrism of empire studies. On the methodological level, this contribution seeks to discuss imperial competition, cooperation and connectivity not as separate phenomena but as entangled processes. The point is not to analytically isolate cooperation or competition but to shed light on how they reinforced each other and how connectivity plays into this. The article shows that a key to establishing a transimperial approach is to consider time and space together by focusing on the transformative aspect of competition, cooperation and connectivity in spaces in-between empires. In this article, we highlight transimperial histories avant la lettre, on which such an approach can rely. Finally, we discuss how this approach helps challenge essentializing master narratives in empire studies, be it the one in which the British Empire serves as a model for other empires or the one where the Japanese empire is seen as a mimicry of European imperialism.

GH. Williams and N. F. Cantor have both attempted in recent years to solve the problem of the authorship of the anonymous treatises of MS. C.C.C.415 and E. H. Kantorowicz has mapped out a place for him in the history of the development of political theory. The thirty-four tracts of this manuscript, with their variety of subject matter and lines of approach, including theocratic kingship, Gelasian political theory, neo-Donatism, bitter anti-Gregorianism and a nostalgia for the purity of the primitive church, present a fascinating puzzle in the history of Anglo-Norman Church-State relations. They have been considered by some to represent the earliest sparks of Wycliffism in England, and even to one writer the first indications of the peculiar ethos of the Anglican Communion.

Russia and China have both shown increasing interest in the promotion their cultural achievements and have utilized culture as essential soft-power resource. Moreover, the concept of ‘soft power’ has gained popularity in Russia’s and China’s academic and political discourse. Russian-Chinese cultural cooperation is gaining momentum due to this exchange, and the scale and the depth of the cultural projects have expanded. At the moment, museums are involved in development of diplomatic relations, including within the framework of friendship societies, and through the development of the Russian-Chinese tourism. ‘Red tourism’ (it means visiting the monuments of the revolutionary history of Russia) in particular has expanded through the implementation of cultural seasons, Cross-Years of Culture, and the promotion of cultural exchanges of contemporary art. As shown in the case of Hermitage, Moscow Kremlin Museums, National Museum of China, Palace Museum ‘Gugong’ in Beijing, famous world museums have been carrying out the ambitious development programmes, scaling up their resource capacities, and since the beginning of the 21st century have begun to promote their brand. The article considers the potential for museums to participate in the development of bilateral relations, and in improving the foreign-policy image of both countries. The authors’ research reveals the features of museum diplomacy, areas of museums’ international activities that enhanced the efficiency of Russia’s and China’s soft power and identifies the common avenues for disseminating the neoliberal messages in museum sphere. Moreover, particular attention is paid by the authors’ to ‘soft power’ rankings and to lists of the most visited museums. Furthermore, new modalities of international museum cooperation are discussed by the authors, with a focus on areas of joint collaboration within the framework of SCO, BRICS, and the “One belt, one road” initiative. The authors conclude that there is a need to improve the legal framework for Russian-Chinese museum cooperation in response to the deepening interaction and transformation of the role of museums in both international and bilateral relations.

The work is an answer to the polemical response of A. Yu. Dvornichenko addressed to its author’s article, in which it was suggested that the process of spread of state relations in Eastern Europe can be viewed as a wave of pre-capitalist revolution. A. Yu. Dvornichenko contrasts the concept of world universal revolutions with his own view of the history of Russia as a purely evolutionary process in which revolutions have no place. Any universal theory, according to A. Yu. Dvornichenko, is not specific. The author of this answer notes that the evolutionary scheme of Russian history by A. Yu. Dvornichenko cannot be called more specific than the theories he criticizes. And in itself, national history does not mean greater empirical and specific research. The author of the work cites a number of additional arguments in favor of the theoretical model presented in 2018.
