This chapter explores a more concrete and historicized figure of the woman reader. It explores the forces that make her appear and disappear, and surveys the state of knowledge on medieval female literacy, and the documentary evidence on women readers. It investigates typically female modes of reading (such as the educational, the devotional, and the courtly) and the visual models that were available to vernacular authors to forge their imagined textual interlocutor. It shows how the protagonist of this book is the product of two cultural events within the history of reading and the material culture of the book: the raise of literacy among the laity and women in the years under consideration, and a changed scenario insofar as theories and practices of reading are concerned.

This paper discusses the questions concerned with the Taman Expedition of the State Academy of the History of Material Culture (GAIMK) headed by Aleksandr A. Miller. Notwithstanding the ever-increasing number of publications devoted to the history of the national archaeology during the 1920s–1930s, many of its moments still remain unknown. This is true, inter alia, concerning the history of the organization and activities of the Taman Expedi- tion in 1930.

The article is devoted to a reconstruction of the biography of A. G. Prigozhin in 1934-1937 based on materials that were previously unknown: criminal investigations case files as a part of the Central Archive of the Federal Security Service, Administration of the Federal Security Service for Saint-Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, and a personal file held in the Central State Archives of Historical and Political Documents.

G. Prigozhin, find out new details and main directions of the investigation process in the case about “the terrorist organization of the State Academy for the History of Material Culture” (1936).

In 1926 collection of items that allegedly were founded in a mound near the Sumy city of Kharkov province was transferred to the State Hermitage museum from the storehouse of antiquities of the State Academy for the History of Material Culture. According to the information given in the museums inventory book, this mound was excavated by N. E. Makarenko in 1915. However we couldn’t find any documents confirming this research. Even if the mound near the Sumy city existed, details of its structure as well as circumstances of the items discovery are still unknown. The most of peculiar interest items in the Hermitage collection are numerous iron parts of two Scythian-type wagons. In this article we have proposed the reconstruction of the wheels of these wagons that based in the analysis of the items. For some parts of wagons we have found analogies in the Scythian mounds in the Dnieper and the Kuban areas. At the same time, in the Hermitage collection there are Sindo-Meotian type swords and Meotian pottery of the IV century BC. Considering this fact, we have reviewed an alternative version of the origin of wagons parts. Some indirect signs allow us to correlate items from a mound near the Sumy city with the famous Elizabethan burial mounds. This fact is confirmed also by the comparison items from Hermitage collection with archive documents of excavations of the Elizabethan burial ground, in particular, with the photo of the wheels that were founded in the mound, excavated in 1915.

The remains of Judahite mortuary practices provide invaluable insight into the historical role of the dead in the culture of the biblical writers. The events of the eighth and seventh centuries proved formative for the kingdom of Judah, and the development of the state during this period became intricately tied to mortuary practices. Burying the dead in a particular way became part of being Judahite. Collective interments served to identify ancestors and connect living communities to the surrounding landscape. These actions involved distinct notions of family and religion, and the use of mortuary culture to express these ideas impacted the area long after the Southern Kingdom was destroyed. I offer the following history based on the inscriptions and material culture that have been collected and reviewed up to this point....

In the 1920s–1930s the State Academy of the History of Material Culture, following in steps of the Imperial Archaeological Commission, continued active works in Central Asia. By the order of the Academy, the architect Nikolai Mikhailovich Bachinsky worked in Central Asia in the 1930s, but his name is barely mentioned in publications devoted to the Academy activities, and the materials he collected were published only partly. The Scholarly Archive of IHMC RAS stores documents relating to his research activity, manuscripts of papers and unique photographs of a number of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan monuments taken in the late 1920s–1930s (fig. 3–6). The publication of these materials will allow to introduce into the scientific discourse the works of an authoritative architect and restorer, whose activity was highly esteemed by his contemporaries.

The article examines the study of the veneration of locally revered saints by Soviet ethnographers in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The expeditions were carried out by the staff of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, the Ethnographic Department of the Russian Museum, the State Academy of the History of Material Culture, the Society of Local History and the Union of Militant Atheists. Ethnographers showed interest in the study of local cults of saints, striving not so much for historical studies of the veneration of saints in Russia, as for the anthropological study of the syncretic features of the worship of saints, in which folk ideas and pre-Christian practices in the form of so-called “Orthodox paganism” were preserved to the greatest extent.
