Статья посвящена тридцатилетней истории изучения религиозных аспектов русской литературы под эгидой Пушкинского Дома. Детально описаны зарождение, цели и состав участников ежегодных конференций «Православие и русская культура», позволивших сказать новое слово об историческом взаимодействии веры и светского творчества. Становление исследований проходило в обстановке противодействия сил, занимавших позиции безоценочного релятивизма и откровенного антихристианства. В работе показано, как стихийно сложившийся в Институте русской литературы центр изучения православных парадигм отечественной словесности в 2008 году получил официальный статус и за годы своего существования подготовил десятки трудов, собраний сочинений классиков, сотни публикаций. Подчеркнута объединяющая и консолидирующая роль пушкинодомцев в академической разработке данной темы. The article is devoted to the thirty-year history of studying the religious aspects of Russian literature at the basis of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House). The origin, goals and participants of the annual conferences «Orthodoxy and Russian Culture», which provided new information about the historical interaction of faith and secular creativity, are described in details. The formation of the research took place in the atmosphere of confrontation between forces whose positions were relativistic and distinctly anti-christian. The work shows how the spontaneously established Center for the study of the Orthodox paradigm of Russian literature received its own official status in 2008. By the moment the Center has prepared hundreds of publications as well as collective works of classics. The unifying and consolidating role of researchers of Pushkin House in the academic development of subject mentioned above is emphasized.

The article analyzes information from historical sources about the atalyks and the Institute of Atalykship in the Kazakh Khanate. The materials of the study were the information of medieval works of Muslim historians, including those not yet put into scientific circulation, published official materials of the 16th18th centuries, the ambassadorial order of the Russian state, magazines, and official notes of the diplomat A.I. Tevkelev, data from Chinese sources, etc. The author cites information from historical sources indicating the existence of the Institute of Atalykship in the Kazakh Khanate. The author draws attention to the fact that the earliest information about the ataliks is contained in the works of Shibanid and Safavid historiography. The work gives the names of more than ten persons who bore the title «atalyk» in the Kazakh Khanate. Despite the paucity of materials about the institution of Atalykship in the Kazakh Khanate, the author makes some assumptions based on the analogy of the institution of atalism in neighboring countries. During the study, the following preliminary conclusions were made about the atalyks and the Institute of Atalykship in the Kazakh Khanate: 1. In the Kazakh Khanate, as well as in many medieval Turkic-Mongolian states, there was an Institute of Atalykship. 2. The Institute of Atalykship was one of the important state-forming elements in the Kazakh Khanate of the 15-17th centuries. 3. The main function of the atalyk in the Kazakh Khanate, as well as in other Turkic-Mongolian states, was to educate the heirs to the throne. 4. Atalyk, as the most faithful and close to the khan people, performed the most important diplomatic functions. 5. The role of the atalyk underwent a transformation in the Kazakh Khanate. In the early period of the history of the Kazakh state, the status of the atalyk at the khan’s court was high. From the end of the 17th century, in connection with the legislative reforms of Tauke Khan, the status of the atalyk significantly decreased and he began to occupy a status in the social hierarchy below the clan elders

The article deals with socio-cultural dominants of the library partnerships. The interpretation is based on the quantitative and content analysis of database records «Librarianship and bibliography», which supported currently by the Center for Studying Problems of Libraries Development in the Information Society of the Russian State Library. 266 items were selected based on searching the words «partnership», «cooperation» and all their derived forms in the records relating to Russia taking into account their fixation in headings and abstract texts. The author attempts to trace the dynamics of reflecting the libraries partnership experience in publications (monographs, articles in professional press, conference proceedings, manuals and textbooks) for 2010-2015 taking into account the status of partnerships (international, regional, urban, rural ones), related strategic objectives, tactical means of achieving them, the importance of choosing a particular partner in terms of the final result of cooperation, the partnership place. The ration of activities to promote reading and cultural activities in modern Russian libraries considers in the partnership frames. The author came to the following conclusions: the chronological distribution of the data detects the trend of growing attention to the topic of partnerships in 2010-2015; in spite of the diversity of the concrete wordings, main targets are: cultural, promote reading, enhance the role of libraries in society, the positioning of «own» territory (region, city, district, etc.). Their employees think that the key to the libraries relevance are less associated with the reading process. In searching the means to adapt libraries to the information society conditions, which are guides in the information world, library professionals are increasingly turning to the popularization of domestic tourism, the creation of the mental orientation system relevant to the local population, participation in local cultural events. «Small motherland» is perceived as the most important marker of identity, and the libraries partnership with other cultural institutions and public associations as an effective demonstration of the libraries’ capabilities in the society cultural mobilization.
