Важной задачей современного изучения древнего Пскова остается выявление персонального состава городского посадского сословия на всем протяжении его 300-летней истории. Решение этой масштабной задачи осуществлялось начиная с середины 1980-х г. посредством сплошного копирования большого круга массовых источников и актовых материалов, обнаруженных в архивах РГАДА, ГАПО и Древлехранилища ПИХМ. Вслед за тем создавалась персональная картотека посадских псковичей, выполнялась реконструкция их родословий и собирались сведения об их хозяйственной деятельности. Все это дало возможность приступить к подушному жизнеописанию посадских псковичей, озаглавленному мной «Псковский посад в XVI-XVIII веках. Анимографический свод». К настоящему времени готовятся к публикации первые два тома «Свода», содержащие, помимо обширной вводной части, статьи по персоналиям посадских людей в алфавитном порядке (от «А» по «Г» включительно). В предлагаемом сообщении представлена структура всего «Свода» и его значение для дальнейших исследований всех аспектов общественной, хозяйственной и культурной жизни посадского населения русского города, а также небольшой его фрагмент, в котором приводятся сведения о деятельности и родовых связях двух видных представителей Псковского посада. После публикации следует очерк об авторе, скончавшемся 13 ноября 2020 г. An important task of the modern study of ancient Pskov is to identify the personal composition of the urban posad estate throughout its 300-year history. The solution to this massive task has been carried out since the mid-1980s, by means of continuous copying of a large circle of mass sources and acts found in the archives of Russian State Archive of Ancient Documents (RGADA), the State Archive of Pskov region (GAPO) and Pskov State Historical-Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve. This was followed by the creation of a personal card file of the Pskov posad (towns) people, reconstruction of their genealogies, and collection of information about their economic activities. All this made it possible to start a per capita biography of the Pskov posad people, entitled by the author: “Pskov Posad in the 16 - 18 centuries. Animographical code”. To date, the first two volumes of the “Code” for publication, containing, in addition to an extensive introductory part, articles on the personalities of Posadsky people in alphabetical order (from “A” to “D” inclusive) are being prepared. The article presents the structure of the entire “Code” and its significance for further research of all aspects of social, economic, and cultural life of the Posadsky population of the Russian city, as well as a small fragment of it, which provides information about the activity and family ties of two prominent representatives of Pskov Posad. The publication is followed by an essay about the author, who died on November 13, 2020.

Обращено внимание на просьбы Баева, адресованные Миллеру по поводу отливки нового шрифта для издания книг на осетинском языке, получения напрокат клише книгоиздательства «Товарищества И.Д. Сытина и К», содействия в скорейшем утверждении проекта по строительству здания Горско-Пушкинского общежития для детей горцев. Особо отмечена поддержка Миллером многих культурных начинаний в Осетии: выхода в свет сборника стихотворений К.Л. Хетагурова «Ирон фæндыр», издания книг и газет на осетинском языке, переиздания Святого Евангелия на осетинском языке, создания Осетинского издательского общества «Ир». Охарактеризована консультативная помощь Миллера при подготовке Баевым осетинско-русского букваря. Отмечена высокая характеристика, данная Миллером К.Л. Хетагурову. Показано значение для культурной жизни присылки ученым в Осетию 40 экземпляров «Осетинских этюдов». Сделан вывод о том, что переписка Миллера и Баева является важным источником для характеристики деятельности ученого в сфере культуры Осетии. Публикуемые документы извлечены из фондов Российского государственного архива литературы и искусства (РГАЛИ) и Научного архива СОИГСИ. The article discusses the theme of the participation of Vsevolod Fedorovich Miller in the cultural life of Ossetia in the late XIX - early XXth century. Published excerpts from V.F. Miller and G.V. Baev cover the period from 1895 to 1911 and contain important information on various aspects of the cultural development of Ossetia at the reviewed period. The works of Miller with published folklore texts in the Digor dialect of the Ossetian language, recorded by Ossetian collectors, are being presented. The support of Miller of the Society for the Distribution of Education and Technical Information among the Highlanders of the Terek Region and the Ossetian Publishing Society "Ir" is highlighted. The requests of Baev to Miller about the cost of casting a new font for publishing books in the Ossetian language, renting a cliché of a book publishing company, “I.D. Sytin and Co.”, assistance in the speedy approval of the project for the construction of the building of the Gorsko-Pushkin hostel for children of highlanders. Attention is drawn to the support Miller provided for many cultural undertakings in Ossetia: the publication of a collection of poems by K. Khetagurov "Iron Fandyr", publishing books and newspapers in the Ossetian language, reprinting the Holy Gospel in the Ossetian language, creating the Ossetian publishing society "Ir". The advisory assistance of Miller to Bayev in preparing Ossetian-Russian ABC book is referred to. The high estimation of Miller to Khetagurov is discussed. The importance for the cultural life of sending 40 copies of Ossetian Etudes to scientists in Ossetia is shown. The conclusion is made that the correspondence of Miller and Baev is an important source in the study of the participation of a scientist in the cultural life of Ossetia. The published documents are extracted from the funds of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI) and the Scientific Archive of the North Ossetian Institute for Humanitarian and Social Studies.

Customs books are the main mass source on the history of domestic and foreign trade of Russia in the 17th – 18th centuries. The main body of these documents is available in various fonds of the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts. Customs books are also kept in several other archives, libraries, and museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Scientific literature provides information on the availability of documents of this type in some regional archives of the Russian Federation. However, no systematic identification and registration of customs books in regional archives has been made. In 2019–2020, the author of the article has carried out a survey of several regional archives that, according to the information in scientific literature, store customs books. The survey was mostly carried out in absentia (by sending written requests to the archives and by viewing digitized copies of archival series on the Internet). The information on the customs books found in the regional archives was compared with the data provided in the historiography. The survey has established presence of customs books in eight regional archives, including the State Archive of the Arkhangelsk Region (23 books), the State Archive of the Astrakhan Region (84), the State Archive of the Voronezh Region (4), the State Archive of the Irkutsk Region (13), the State Archive of the Murmansk Region (1), the State Archive of the Pskov Region (42), the State Archive of the Tyumen Region (201), the Velikoustyug Central Archives (2). In total, 370 such sources have been identified in 34 towns (about 10% of all currently known sources of this type). The revealed customs books date from 1646/47 to 1754. Their overwhelming majority are 18th century documents. The results of the customs books identification in the regional archives are preliminary, since only archives cited in historiography have been examined so far. In addition, the identified corpus of customs books demands clarification and supplementation, since references provided by the archives may be incomplete, and there are inaccuracies and omissions in the series. It is concluded that to collect comprehensive and accurate data on customs books in central and regional archives is only possible de visu.

The article presents two letters from V.A. Musin-Pushkin which he wrote to his bride shortly before the wedding in 1828 (the letters are kept in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts). The text of the letters reflects the context of the time and everyday life, the system of views and the peculiarities of the worldview of a young aristocrat, the specific features of intra-family interaction in the field of feelings, marriage, human relations which inevitably turn out to be associated with the concepts of the family honor, family duty, the need to preserve the status of a noble family. The author traces how the power hierarchy is manifested at the level of relations within a close circle of relatives, as well as how traditional patterns are combined with new elements. Vladimir Alekseevich Musin-Pushkin, the youngest son of the archaeographer Count A.I. Musin-Pushkin, was arrested in connection with the case of the Decembrists, transferred from the Guards to the army and exiled to serve in Finland, where he met his future wife, Emilia Karlovna Shernval von Wallen. The article provides details of the family life of this married couple, as well as private facts from the biography of some other members of the Musin-Pushkin family.

After a short summary of the story behind K. Hamsun’s play In the Grip of Life [Livet i Vold], its plot and stage history in Russia, the article proceeds to tell about an unknown film script. Cinematic adaptations of Hamsun’s books have always dominated Norwegian literature, while none of his dramatic pieces have made it to the screen. However, a film script was uncovered, an adaptation of In the Grip of Life: a play specially written for a Russian theatre. The script was found in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts, among the documents of Evgeny Sergeevich Khokhlov. Based on the history of filmmaking and relevant filmography, Khokhlov’s film script is not just the only attempt at film adaptation of a Hamsun play, but the first ever project based on a theatrical play in Russian cinematic history. Written almost 100 years ago, the script is far from perfect in the modern understanding of filmmaking; nonetheless, it has certain merits in the eyes of contemporaries. The very attempt to interpret the play by means of a nascent artistic genre may be considered a proof of its relevance to Russian audiences at the time.

At the core of this publication are letters written by E. Livshits (1902–1987), the widow of B. Livshits, to her close friends: literary critic A. Deich (1893–1972), whom she knew ever since her Kiev days, and his wife E. Deich-Malkina (1919–2014). Kept at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, this epistolary collection spans over 20 years, starting from 1967. Along with accounts of private circumstances, each letter contains accounts related to B. Livshits, Osip and Nadezhda Mandelstam, I. Nappelbaum, A. Shadrin, and others. At the same time, E. Livshits’ comments and descriptions of people and literary works are very lifelike and fascinating. On the whole, the reader gets a picture of the period and certain literary process, viewed by a sophisticated connoisseur rather than squinted at by an aging disenfranchised widow of an executed writer. The publication is prefaced by P. Nerler, who collected and prepared the book of letters and reminiscences of E. Livshits, to be printed by Elena Shubina Publishers (AST).

The article is devoted to the history of an unrealized performance of M. P. Mussorgsky’s opera "Khovanshchina" orchestrated by B. V. Asafyev. On the basis of archival documents, stored in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts, the Russian National Museum of Music, Central State Archive of Literature and Art of Saint Petersburg, the Bolshoi Theatre Museum, most of which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, studied the circumstances under which the opera was planned to be staged in the State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet (nowadays — the Mariinsky Theatre). Fragments from the reports of the Artistic Council of Opera at the State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet meetings, the correspondence between B. V. Asafyev and P. A. Lamm, the manuscript "P. A. Lamm. A Biography" by O. P. Lamm and other unpublished archival documents are cited. The author comes to the conclusion that most attempts to perform "Khovanshchina" were hindered by the difficult socio-political circumstances of the 1930s, while the existing assumptions about the creative failure of the Asafyev’s orchestration don’t find clear affirmation, neither in historical documents, nor in the existing manuscript of the orchestral score.

This article examines the development of social control in the Soviet Union under Leonid Brezhnev, who was General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1964 to 1982. Historians have largely neglected this question, especially with regard to its evolution and efficiency. Research is based on sources in the Russian State Archive of Modern History (RGANI), the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI) and the Moscow Central State Archive (TSGAM). During Brezhnevs rule, Soviet propaganda reached the peak of its development. However, despite the fact that authorities tried to improve it, the system was ritualistic, unconvincing, unwieldy, and favored quantity over quality. The same was true for political education, which did little more than inspire sullen passivity in its students. Although officials recognized these failings, their response was ineffective, and over time Soviet propaganda increasingly lost its potency. At the same time, there were new trends in the system of social control. Authorities tried to have a foot in both camps - to strengthen censorship, and at the same time to get feedback from the public. However, many were afraid to express any criticism openly. In turn, the government used data on peoples sentiments only to try to control their thoughts. As a result, it did not respond to matters that concerned the public. These problems only increased during the era of stagnation and contributed to the decline and subsequent collapse of the Soviet system.

The article is devoted to such an important aspect of the activities of the plenipotentiaries of the State Defensive Committee during the Great Patriotic War, as conflicts of authority. Contradictions between the plenipotentiaries of the State Defensive Committee and the leaders of party, state, economic bodies at various levels, as well as between the plenipotentiaries themselves, that were expressed in the emergence of various disputes and often resulted in conflicts of authority, became commonplace in the functioning of the state power system of the USSR in the war period. Based on documents from federal (State Archive of the Russian Federation, Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, Russian State Archive of Economics) and regional (Central State Archive of the Udmurt Republic, Center for Documentation of the Recent History of the Udmurt Republic) archives, the author considers a conflict of authority situation that developed during the Great Patriotic War in the Udmurt Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which shows that historical reality is more complicated than the stereotypical manifestations of it.
