The paper studies the life and creative path of the outstanding Russian ethnomusicologist E. E. Alekseev. He was born in 1937 in Yakutsk. He studied at the Moscow State Conservatory, named after P. I. Tchaikovsky. He wrote a large number of scientific papers. To a great extent, he explored the mode-scale and mode-intonation sphere of Yakut folk song and early folklore traditional music. He created models of the mode-intonation basis of archaic singing. He also studied various aspects of the traditional singing of Yakuts: genres and styles, the connections of the word and music of Yakut folk songs, the heterophonic polyphony of the Yakut ritual osuokhai, and the Yakut folk instrument khomus. Together with N. N. Nikolaeva, he published the collection of Yakut folk songs of various styles and genres (“Samples of Yakut song folklore”). He conducted the editorial work on the publication of other researchers’ works. He edited the piano works of G. A. Grigoryan. He participated in the release of the record “Ustin Nokhsorov Sings” and the creation of the documentary “Times of dreams” about shamans of Siberia and the Far East. As a composer, he created romances, choirs, and treatments of folk songs. He composed “Sergelyakhsky sketches” comprising 4 piano pieces. Together with composer G. N. Komrakov, he created the opera “Song of Manchary” on a historical plot. His research work is being developed by Russian and foreign researchers of musical folklore. A lot of statements put forward by E. E. Alekseev have further prospects for study.

The article focuses on the textological analysis of “The song of the creation of the Mother-Earth” manuscript as recorded by K. G. Orosin, with edited variants also taken into consideration. The song is being prepared for the publication in the volume “Yakut Folk Songs” of the academic series “Monuments of Folklore of the Peoples of Siberia and the Far East.” The choice of this song for the analysis is due to the fact that all the stages of the creative process from a manuscript to published texts can be followed. The manuscript is characterized by multiple layers, representing as it does an autograph in the form of fair copy with editor’s alterations. This article is dedicated to reconstructing the original version without editorial changes. For an objective assessment of the text changes within the editing practice, we have made a textological interpretation of various readings in edited versions of the song. The song was published three times and republished once in different sources. Two main publications of the song were selected for the analysis. The first publication of 1912 is considered to be the first attempt to divide the straight text into verses. The second publication of 1947 is different in having the “improvements” of the text as a result of editing with a focus on conformity with literary norms. Thus, the textological comment was made to reconstruct the authentic text “The song of the creation of the Mother-Earth” recorded by K. G. Orosin and identify the alterations in edited and published texts.

В статье приводится характеристика основных этапов развития экономико-географических исследований в Тихоокеанском институте географии с момента его организации. Выделено 5 этапов и представлены наиболее важные результаты экономико-географических исследований, полученных в лаборатории территориально-хозяйственных структур за 50 лет. Научные направления исследований определялись общими задачами, решаемыми Тихоокеанским институтом географии, в первую очередь это комплексные прогнозно-географические исследования разномасштабных геосистем Дальнего Востока России в контактной зоне «суша–океан». В основу выделения этапов исследований положены изменения тем научно-исследовательской работы лаборатории. Основным направлением в течение большого периода времени было изучение разноранговых территориально-хозяйственных структур Дальнего Востока, географических, в т.ч. природно-ресурсных, и геополитических факторов их развития. Изложены основные результаты, полученные сотрудниками лаборатории на разных этапах, в т.ч. теоретических и методологических исследований географического пространства и разноранговых пространственных систем, географических и геополитических факторов формирования разноранговых территориально-хозяйственных структур, в том числе трансграничных и аква-территориальных, разработки предложений для Программ устойчивого развития регионов, методов исследования производственно-природных отношений в локальных и районных территориально-производственных системах, оценки территориальных сочетаний природных ресурсов, изучения особенностей трансформации территориально-отраслевых структур, районирования территории и прибрежной акватории Дальнего Востока и т.д. Отдельные экономико-географические исследования имеют и большое практическое значение. В первую очередь, это разработанные в лаборатории предложения для Стратегий и Программ социально-экономического развития Дальнего Востока, Приморского края, агломерации Владивостока и других территорий. The article describes the main stages in the development of economic - geographical research at the Pacific Institute of Geography (now Pacific Geographical Institute) since its organization. The authors identified five such stages and presented the most important results of economic and geographical research accomplished in their laboratory of spatial-economic structures for 50 years. Scientific directions of these researches were determined by the general tasks solved by the Pacific Geographical Institute, in first turn, comprehensive forecasting and geographical research of different-scale geosystems of the Far East of Russia in the ‘land-ocean’ contact zone. The selection of the research stages was based on changes in the topics of the laboratory’s research work. For a long time its main topic was in the studies of multi-ranked territorial and economic structures of the Far East, and geographical factors of their development including natural resource and geopolitical ones. The main research activities of the laboratory staff at different stages included theoretical and methodological studies of geographic space and different-ranked spatial systems; geographical and geopolitical factors in the formation of multi-ranked territorial and economic structures, including transboundary and aqua-territorial ones; working out of proposals to the state programs of the sustainable development of regions; methods of researching the productive-natural relations in local and regional territorial-production systems; assessing the territorial combinations of natural resources; studying the features of the transformation of territorial and sectoral structures; zoning the territory and coastal waters of the Far East, etc. Separate economic and geographical studies are also of great practical importance. In first turn, there are proposals developed in the laboratory for strategies and programs of the socio-economic development of the Far East, Primorsky Kray, Vladivostok agglomeration and other territories.
