An excursion through the pages of the book by V. V. Ogryzko “Under the supervision of the Kremlin: a fairly battered, but survived Academy of Sciences” is given. The history of uneasy relations between the government and the Academy of Sciences can be traced from the first post-revolutionary years to the present day. The mostly detailed description relates to the efforts of the Soviet government to tame (“to Sovietize”) the Russian Academy of Sciences in the first post-revolutionary years. In his research, based on unique archival sources, the author operates with a large number of sources and a large number of activehistorical figures, from academics to employees of special services. It is noted that over the past hundred years, not only the Academy has changed, the methods of state influence on the academic community have changed, and the goal setting of the state has also changed. In the first decades, the Soviet government was faced with the task of introducing as many loyal communists as possible into the academic community, and after the collapse of the USSR, the task of “depriving” the Academy from material assets became firmly on the agenda. The author of the book – V. V. Ogryzko – comes to the conclusion that many discoveries andachievements of our scientists were made not thanks to the support of the state, but rather in spite of it.

The book was compiled on the materials of the scientific conference “Anthropomorphic and zoomorphic representations of nations and states in the Slavic cultural discourse” (2019), held at the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) and devoted to the history of the nations’ personifications and generalized ethnic images in period of “imagined communities” formation. This process is reconstructing on verbal and visual sources and by methods of various disciplines. The historical evolution of such zoomorphic incarnations of nations as an Eagle (in the Polish patriotic poetry of the first third of the 19th cent), a Falcon (in the South Slavic and Czech cultures in the 19th cent), a Griffin (during the formation of the Cassubian ethnocultural identity) is considered. The animalistic national representations in the Estonian caricature of the interwar twenty years of the 20th cent., so as the functioning of the Bear’s allegory as a symbol of Russia in modern Russian souvenir products are analyzed. The originality of zoomorphic symbolism in Polish and Soviet cultures is shown оn the examples of para- and metaheraldic images in XXth cent. The transformation of the verbal and visual images of “Mother Russia” personifications in Russian Empire was reconstructed. The evolution of various allegories of ethnic “Self” and “Others” is presented by caricatures of 19th – 20th cent. in Slovenian periodic and in Russian “Satyricon” journal (1914–1918).
