The article contains a conceptual analysis of the province in the works of the Donetsk poet Natalia Khatkina (1956–2009). The main features of overcoming the creative provinciality are revealed: 1) an aspiration for the center; 2) a detached attitude to provincial realities; 3) an awareness of the essential identity of metropolitan and provincial poetry; 4) a creative product of the provincial center, similar to the capital. Semiotics of intentions of provincial life are shown on the examples of the Donetsk city text: 1) the desire for Moscow; 2) “provincial paintings” of the Donetsk life; 3) experiments of the author’s psychopoetic analysis; 4) experiments of the author’s creative reorientation. Province and provinciality are contrasted as interrelated, but diverse and not always coinciding factors of creative realization. “Province” — the location in relation to an administrative center; it’s the specifics containing a generalization; it is a common place that unites the diversity of certain areas into a single topos. “Provinciality”, on the contrary, is an abstraction that is filled with concrete psychological and social manifestations caused by the center-peripheral circumstances of creative existence. Overcoming provincial conditionality is understood as an ontological energy of aesthetic results. Poetic experience, in addition to its aesthetic value, also has the ontological power necessary to overcome external and internal circumstances. The analysis of poetic reflections which define the acts of creative overcoming and vectors of author’s intentions makes it possible to comprehend vital and creative experiences that have overcome external circumstances.

The Neo-Assyrian site Šibaniba (modern Tell Billa) served as a provincial center at the very edge of what is traditionally known as the “Assyrian Heartland”. Excavations in the early 1900s under Dr. Speiser of the University of Pennsylvania uncovered architecture in the southwestern portion of the mound, but a loss of records and lack of publication have prevented any comprehensive publications or analysis of the archaeological material. The architecture from Level I in the southwest corner is the remains of a palace from the latter half of the Neo-Assyrian period – comprised of an inner, paved courtyard and surrounding rooms. The analysis of this palace complex is carried out herein, with a discussion of its positioning and importance, especially during Nineveh's tenure as imperial capital. Overall, Šibaniba, despite being located so close to the Heartland, was an important administrative center in its own right – illustrated by a restructuring of the citadel's organization in the later Neo-Assyrian period and its inclusion in Sennacherib's irrigation program.

This paper considers the fundamental problem of artificial lighting in various types and scales of industrial facilities, focusing on exterior lighting design solutions. There is a lack of interest from investors, customers and society in high­quality lighting design for industrial facilities in Russia, which in many cities are very imaginative structures, practically unused in the evening. Architectural lighting of various types of installations is illustrated with photographs. The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the aesthetic value of industrial structures, provided not only by the architectural, but also by a welldesigned lighting solution.

It is now widely acknowledged that global environmental problems raise pressing social and political issues, but relatively little philosophical attention has been paid to their bearing on the concept of liberty. This must surprise us, because the question of whether environmental policies are at odds with individual liberty is bound to be controversial in the political arena. First, this article explains why a thorough philosophical debate about the relation between liberty and environmental constraints is needed. Second, based on Philip Pettit’s typology of liberty, it assesses how different conceptions of liberty fare in a context of stringent ecological limits. Indeed, a simple conceptual analysis shows that some conceptions of liberty are more compatible than others with such limits, and with the policies necessary to avoid overshooting them. The article concludes that Pettit’s conception of liberty as non-domination is more compatible with the existence of stringent ecological limits than the two alternatives considered.
