In view of approaching the 300th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences and in connection with the relevance of the topic, the authors have prepared review of the resources devoted to the history of Russian science. The key moments of history, events from the lives of prominent people are reflected on the pages of calendars of significant and memorable dates. The uniqueness of these publications lies in the fact that they bring together diverse facts, while the materials are systematized in accordance with the chronology and upcoming anniversaries. Attracting a large amount of factual information makes calendars an indispensable tool for planning communication and organizational mass activities of various institutions.The purpose of this work is to identify information products of chronological nature, to study the specifics of providing information in them about Russian science, as well as structural, format and technological features of implementation of selected resources. In the course of monitoring the web space, we found about thirty narrowly theme-based electronic resources. Further, we carefully analysed each resource in accordance with the evaluation criteria on content, structure and implementation technology. We selected about half of the identified resources for more detailed study. Due to the fact that electronic calendars of significant and memorable dates are formed by various organizations — academic and University libraries, archives, research institutes, etc., the authors decided to group resources according to the type of institutions that prepared them, and to describe them in accordance with this principle. The largest number of electronic calendars was found on the websites of research institutions and University libraries. As for the personnel of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the most complete and voluminous resource in its content is formed by the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Analysis of the content of calendars indicates that their content may be limited to the history of particular institution, research centre or regional branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The exception is the resource “Anniversaries of the Members of RAS” by the RAS Archive, which gives the idea of the Academy’s personnel potential throughout its history.It is obvious that the work on the formation and promotion of resources in the electronic environment that highlight significant events in the history of the Russian Academy of Sciences contributes to the dissemination of knowledge about scientists, scientific achievements and developments of research institutes and is effective means of popularizing science.

The article aims to demonstrate the results of research and bringing to the technological implementation, in the Library for Natural Scien­ces of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LNS RAS), of a full cycle of works, from identification of rare books in the collections, their description and scanning, to their registration in the Union Catalog and Electronic Library. The author gives a brief description of the software package developed at LNS RAS for creating the Electronic Catalog and full-text Electronic Library of Rare Publications, as well as the scheme of automated interaction of all technological departments involved in the process. The information on practical implementation and directions of the technology development is given. The article presents a brief review of the research, with the identified part of the collection of rare publications of the LNS RAS. For the first time, the Central Library of the LNS RAS implements the Union Catalog and Electronic Library of Rare Publications, reflecting not only the bibliographic information on the publications, but also the data on their specific features (author’s inscriptions, bookplates, stamps, etc.). Rare publications previously inaccessible to researchers, though already used by scientists of the RAS institutes, are introduced into scientific circulation. The article identifies and describes materials about geographical expeditions of the 18th—19th centuries and samples of Russian and foreign book printing of the 18th century. For the first time, the LNS RAS conducts research related to the history of Russian science and printing, and identifies bookplates and proprietary marks of Russian scientists, which have not previously been reflected in ca­talogs. This opens a new cultural layer of historical data, now available to researchers.

The article is devoted to 32 books owned by Osip Maksimovich Bodyansky (1808–1877) and compiled by his personal working library. Preliminary results of the research reflect the history of the books after his death and indicate the currently known locations of the books. Copies that previously belonged to the scholar were found and identified in the Funds of the Russian Academy of Sciences Library (hereinafter – RASL). The books are in good condition and have not undergone restoration. It allowed the researchers studying and understanding of the circumstances of the appearance of these publications in the RASL Funds. The marks such as the inscription on the flyleaf, carrying a lot of information about the time and place of purchase, receipts of the books made it possible to identify it as the scientist's possession. The authors analyzed the inscriptions and identified their common features. The authors make the conclusions about the time, place, and purpose of buying the books. The librarians give some examples of using the books. The annotated list of bibliographic descriptions of the books is published at the end of the article. The books from this list can be confidently attributed as the items from Osip M. Bodyansky’s library. All descriptions are provided with the owner’s inscriptions, which allows the reader to independently draw attention to the details of the texts. The article is a continuation of the common efforts to reconstruct the Bodyansky’s library, which are made by many employees of various Russian science and culture institutions.

The 27th Workshop of the Council of RAS on Nonlinear Dynamics was held at the Shirshov Institution of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences on December 17–18, 2018. The Workshop program is posted on the Institution website https://ocean.ru/index.php/konferentsii-i-shkoly/item/1142-xxvii-nauchnaya-sessiya-soveta-ran-po-nelinejnoj-dinamike. At the initiative and effort of Academician V.E. Zakharov, his students and colleagues, the Workshop was established in 1992 and was held regularly since then. It served as a place to discuss the research topics in the field of nonlinear dynamics in Russia and abroad, and to present new scientific results. Numerous studies are carried out with the support of the Program for Fundamental Research of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences Nonlinear Dynamics: Fundamental Problems and Applications».The Organizing Committee of the 27th Workshop decided to publish short communications on the submitted talks in the first issue of the 47th volume of the Journal of Oceanological Research. Although some of the presented talks are formally far from the oceanic research, they convincingly demonstrate the unity of the physical picture of the world and of the modern approaches to its study. Such a publication is organized for the first time in the relatively long history of the workshops, including very difficult times for the Russian science. We believe that this publication will facilitate the long overdue task of expanding community of regular participants, attracting new scientists, especially young ones. The editors and organizers hope for the success of such publication and for the interest from the readers of the Journal of Oceanological Research.
