Данная рецензия посвящена монографии В.С. Батченко об истории Советской политики в отношении религиозных организаций в западных регионах СССР в 1929-1934 гг. Исследование основано на широком круге источников, хранящихся как в центральных, так и местных архивных фондах. Автор монографии показывает, как существовавшие практики антицерковной работы приводили к результатам, которые были прямо обратно ожидавшимся: росту религиозности и недовольству советской властью, выливавшемуся иногда в инциденты, вплоть до вспышек насилия. Результативность этой политики автор монографии оценивает крайне низко, она приводила не к исчезновению, а трансформации религии. This review is devoted to the monograph by V.S. Batchenko about the Soviet Policy towards religion in the Western regions of USSR in 1929 - 1934 years. This research is based on a solid base of documents both from central and regional archives. V.S. Batchenko described paradoxical cases when frantic antireligious measures caused the opposite effect. They did not weaken faith, but even strengthened it. Disappointment with the Soviet religious policy sometimes lead even to riots. The results of this policy V.S. Batchenko estimates as very poor. Religion in Soviet Society did not disappear, but just transformed.

The article is a publication of the first Russian printed work on the Russian history of mathematics. It is dedicated to the ancient Russian numeral systems and was published anonymously in 1787 in the “New monthly works” of St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. The author tells about the Old Russian numeral system, Russian calendar and commercial account. In the popular science editions of the 18th century Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences there were many publications on the history of sciences, arts, crafts, the history of discoveries and inventions in other countries. At the same time, there was a clear lack of publications on the history of Russian culture. Russian scientists were dissatisfied with the interpretation of Russian history presented by the historiographer of the Russian state, an academician G. F. Müller, as well as with descriptions of Russia and its history by other foreign authors. In the Catherine’s time, many articles appeared, sometimes anonymous, defending the originality and ancientry of Russian culture. To analyze the data on the authorship of the work, the popular scientific editions of Academy in the 18th century and are described, information about their authors is presented, hypotheses are expressed, and the terminology of the article and the names mentioned in it are commented.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to find a suitable approach for the reconstruction of the creative biography of F. M. Dostoevsky presented in the opinion journalism of the Siberian poet, journalist, and publicist G. A. Vyatkin.Results. This article is the first noticeable contribution proposed in studying opinion journalism of the Siberian poet and journalist G. A. Vyatkin about F. M. Dostoevsky. It considers Vyatkin’s works in the context of tragic events in Russian history of the 1910–1920 years. This perspective is especially meaningful and beneficial in the light of the fact that Dostoevsky was almost unknown to the soviet society until the 1970s. His works were not a part of a school or university educational program.Conclusion. The article concludes by arguing that Vyatkin was one of the first to tell about Dostoevsky’s exile and hard life in the prison camp, about his compassion and worry for people. He recalled many forgotten facts of Dostoevsky’s biography, found and published quotes from official documents and literary critics.

Nikolai Nikolaevich Luzin’s life (1883–1950) and work of this outstanding Russian mathematician, member of the USSR Academy of Sciences and foreign member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, coincides with a very difficult period in Russian history: two World Wars, the 1917 revolution in Russia, the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, the civil war of 1917–1922, and finally, the construction of a new type of state, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This included collectivization in the agriculture and industrialization of the industry, accompanied by the mass terror that without exception affected all the strata of the Soviet society. Against the background of these dramatic events took place the proces of formation and flourishing of Luzin the scientist, the creator of one of the leading mathematical schools of the 20th century, the Moscow school of function theory, which became one of the cornerstones in the foundation of the Soviet mathematical school. Luzin’s work could be divided into two periods: the first one comprises the problems regarding the metric theory of functions, culminating in his famous dissertation Integral and Trigonometric Series (1915), and the second one that is mainly devoted to the development of problems arising from the theory of analytic sets. The underlying idea of Luzin’s research was the problem of the structure of the arithmetic continuum, which became the super task of his work. The destiny favored the master: the complex turns of history in which he was involved did not prevent, and sometimes even favored the successful development of his research. And even the catastrophe that broke out over him in 1936 – “the case of Academician Luzin” – ended successfully for him.
