Introduction: the article is devoted to the study of genre and aspect specifics of the travel lyric cycle as a major genre form in modern Russian poetry of Mordovia and it fits into the complex of research of Russian literary studies concerning the problem of genre synthesis. The subjects of the analysis are the features of plot building of the lyrical cycles of travels. Objective: to reveal the genre and problem-thematic originality of the lyrical cycles of travels in the works of modern poets of Mordovia. Research materials: cycles of travels of V. Gadaev, V. Yushkin, K. Smorodin. Results and novelty of the research: in modern Russian poetry of Mordovia large genre forms as the most flexible actively develop. Among them, a special place is occupied by lyrical cycles with diverse thematic lines. In this context, travel cycles that synthesize the features of genre forms of the cycle and travelogue are quite remarkable. The complex compositional structure marked by the presence of a real geographical route, the image of a traveler comprehending the cultural and historical atmosphere of the visited country / city, reflects the author’s worldview, historiosophy, and the idea of the world space. In the works of V. Gadaev, V. Yushkin and K. Smorodin such cyclic forms carry out various creative objectives. For V. Gadaev, trip brings the opportunity to rethink the tragic moments of history, to understand the state of a person who is far from his homeland. The plot-forming beginning of his works is the opposition «native – alien», where the image of the Mordovian region turns out to be the semantic artistic center. In V. Yushkin’s lyrical cycles, the traveler’s route is connected with the comprehension of semantic codes of geographical space, contact with important cultural and literary places. In the K. Smorodin’s center of attention is an image of a lyrical hero-traveler who is under the impression of the surrounding world’s beauty. The motif of travel in the works of Russian poets of Mordovia is largely enriched by landscape and philosophical, love motifs, which indicates the synthetic nature of this genre-specific form. The scientific novelty of the work is connected with the fact that it represents the first experience of the comprehensive study of the features of the lyric cycle of travels in Russia

This chapter continues the examination of Bonhoeffer’s first phase of resistance through an exposition of “The Church and the Jewish Question,” turning now to the modes of resistance proper to the church’s preaching office. Because such resistance involves the church speaking against the state, it appears to stand in contradiction with Bonhoeffer’s suggestion earlier in the essay that the church should not speak out against the state. This is in fact not a contradiction but rather the coherent expression of the political vision as outlined in the first several chapters of this book, which requires that the church criticize the state under certain circumstances but not others. The specific form of word examined here is the indirectly political word (type 3 resistance) by which the church reminds the messianic state of its mandate to preserve the world with neither “too little” nor “too much” order.

The results of a comprehensive study of color names derived from the names of colored stones in the system of color names of the modern Russian language are presented in the article. The research was conducted in 2018-2020 in two stages using the methods of content analysis and an online psycholinguistic experiment. At the first stage, the state of the semantic group of names of colored stones, potential objects-referents of color names, was assessed by analyzing four different groups of sources: specialized dictionaries of colored stones, dictionaries of color, individual author's dictionaries of color names and explanatory dictionaries of the modern Russian language. At the second stage, the state of the color terms formed from the names of colored stones in the active vocabulary of modern Russian speakers was investigated on the basis of data from an online psycholinguistic experiment, in which 2,457 people aged 16 to 95 took part. The results of a comparative analysis of the lists of colored stones-prototypes of color names in the passive and active dictionaries of the speakers of the modern Russian language are presented. The scope of denotation and the function of color names derived from the names of colored stones are considered. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the derivative productivity of the names of referent objects of the studied class and the frequency of use of individual color names in the responses of Russian speakers with different socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, professional experience).

In a now classic 1994 article Victor Zhivov counters the idea that the eighteenth-century quest to create a modern Russian literature represented a wholesale rejection of Russia’s previous literary tradition. He shows instead how poets appropriated elements of Orthodox liturgical tradition in a bid to adapt the classical notion of ‘furor poeticus’, marking it by the eruption of Church Slavonic norms into modern poetics. This chapter demonstrates how, as Zhivov contends, elements of Orthodox liturgical culture have continued to shape the modern Russian poetic tradition from the eighteenth century into the present. In particular, Russian poets have long presented poetry as uniquely able to transform the world by drawing on Orthodox imagery of theosis or divinization—the transfiguration of human life and thus the world, by the divine light and being. The liturgically inflected religious concerns of Russian poetry that sections address include prophecy, human co-creation with God, the problem of the body, and the role of silence.

Currently, there is a tendency in the world to globalize law as a response to the challenges facing humanity. This leads to the unification of various legal families and requires the search for new methodological approaches to the formation of Russian law, taking into account the need to protect, first of all, the national security of the country. Russia faces many similar threats, both external and internal. This includes globalization, the rapid development of digital technologies, the purposeful subversive influence of other states, internal social problems, the radicalization of a part of society, and the growth of crime. This review presents three monographs by Russian authors who analyze the state of modern Russian legislation on this issue.

The paper reviews three works by the Kolomna-based literary historian A. Kulagin, a specialist in Russian classical and modern poetry, and a leading researcher of theory and history of songs written and performed by authors. A.Kulagin’s strategy as a scholar is to study Russian poetry as an indivisible spiritual and aesthetic system, and reveal inner connections and mutual references in works by different poets. He researches the traditional sources of Pushkin’s poetry and Pushkin motifs in poems by Brodsky, Vysotsky, Galich, Kushner, and Okudzhava. His is the first comprehensive study of the traditional context of Aleksandr Kushner’s poetry. A. Kulagin’s interpretation of songs written and performed by authors shows the genre as organically woven into the fabric of Russian poetry, with a compelling example in the book on Gennady Shpalikov. Here we have a manifestation of a typical trend in modern literary studies: transition from individual poetic legacy to solving the mystery of the poet’s personality.

Abstract Planetarianism, proposed by Masao Miyoshi for literature and literary studies, calls for a new sense and organization of human totality truly inclusive of all and against neoliberal division, exclusion, repression, and egocentric consumption. Ironically, it is also the global neoliberal economy that lays the only realistic foundation for such a totality, albeit under negative circumstances. This economy has caused a rapid environmental deterioration that involves everyone on the planet, regardless of identity. Human beings are left with just two choices: either collectively forge new relationships among ourselves and with the planet or perish in the environmental devastation wrought by our continuous consumption, exploitation, division, and conflict. Imagining a totalizing environmental disaster and a global unity fighting for the survival of humanity and Earth, the 2019 Chinese sci-fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth is an important case for illustrating what complex forms the idea of planetarianism may take in a concrete ideological and creative context. The author argues that the film's future imagination bears laudable potential to promote a turn from exclusionist individualism, represented by the Hollywood science fiction model, to inclusive planetarianism. However, the film's persuasiveness is significantly limited by the double-layered restraint imposed on it by the state and the market. This article traces the turn and the restraint to their historical sources, closely analyzes where the film succeeds and fails in moving beyond the Hollywood vision of the planet's future, and thereby enriches our understanding of the cinematic imagination of planetarianism.

The present paper tackles the viewpoints of Russian literary critics, and their evaluation of contemporary writers, along with their roles in the development of the Twenty-First century literature. We have pointed out the importance of the works of   Viktor Pelevin, Valdimir Makanin, and Vladimir Sorokin, and how they influenced modern Russian literature. Also, it has been showed that these writers were not less important than the Russian classic writers, despite that some of their works were characterized with a sense of dialectic with the classic text. Thus, a contemporary Russian text has  become desired and understood all over the world.

Modern Russian culture is very different from Soviet culture, but they have many similarities, too. In essence, this is the same country, only without national margins and the former allied national republics. But within the country, multinationality remains since Russia is a federal state with many peoples of diverse cultures. Russian culture is the culture of a multinational country. Modern Russian culture has lost the features of ideological and party (communist) dependence, but retains the influence of the state, like any other culture of any country in the world. True, the influence of the state on the culture in each country goes to a greater or lesser extent. In Russia, this state influence on culture is very large up to the present day, and it has a pronounced dualistic character. On one hand, Russian culture is provided with financial assistance “from above”, and on the other hand, some kind of framework is created that cannot be crossed, almost as it was in Soviet times, when the state order in the cultural sphere dominated.

Introduction: the article is devoted to the study of the development of books of poems as a major genre form in modern Russian-language poetry of Mordovia and fits into the complex of Russian literary studies concerning the peculiarities of the development of the Finno-Ugric literary process. In the course of the research, the typological features of a thematic and «final» book of poems are revealed; the poetological features of this genre in the works of the poets of Mordovia belonging to the «traditional» and «avant-garde» paradigm are analyzed. Objective: to analyze the main trends of the development of a book of poems in the literary process of Mordovia. Research materials: the poetry books by A. M. Sharonov «The Monologues» and S. Yu. Senichev «Grapes in Chocolate, or Compounding». Results and novelty of the research: the analysis of the modern Russian-language poetry of Mordovia has shown that today there are two ideological and artistic paradigms: «traditional» paradigm based on the experience of classical Russian poetry and «avant-garde» paradigm developing with the support of postmodern experiments. The diversity of poetic practices makes it possible to determine the ways of development of a book of poems in the poetic process of the republic. In the creative works of the poets of Mordovia two genre-specific forms, such as thematic and «final», are developing. Moreover, the traditional poets most often comprehend the problems concerning the preservation of the national identity of the Mordovian people. They poetically sum up the plots and images of national mythology and folklore. The genre form of a «final» book of poems allows the most representative to convey the scale of significant historical and sociocultural events of the era, as well as to present the author’s biography against the background of these events. The avant-garde poets, on the contrary, move away from national attributes. The associative and metaphorical principle of constructing a book of poems becomes more important for them, where along with the lyrical understanding of the world there is a philological game, intertextuality, and allusiveness. Through the techniques of literary play authors often express nostalgia for lost values. The analysis of the poetic of the books of poems by A. M. Sharonov and S. Yu. Senichev will allow not only to determine the features of their creative manner, but also to trace the ways and character of the development of modern Russianlanguage poetry in Mordovia as a whole.
