Two new species, Semicerura bryophila sp. nov. and S. draconis sp. nov., are described from the Far East of Russia and north-eastern part of China. S. goryshini Martynova, 1969 is redescribed based on the type material and fresh materials from China and South Korea. The holotype of S. bishopi Maynard, 1951 (eastern areas of the U.S.A.) was studied and commented on. Taxonomic remarks to s-chaetotaxy and the labium of the genus are given.

The paper summarizes information on chromosome numbers (CNs) of the Grass species (Poaceae) in the flora of Russian Federation, obtained on the original material, most part - from the Russian Far East (RFE). In some species the CNs are known in Russia or in the world only from RFE, in some – from one locality or few, or from one subregion of RFE. The grass species in RFE often occur in mountain regions and near seacoasts; some species are endemics, some were studied near the limits of their geographical distribution areas. The diversity of CNs, the special features of the CNs distribution in some grass groups are discussed. The alien species are abundant in RFE, and their CNs are also involved in the study. For karyologically polymorphous species further studies are needed.

Linguistic Phenomenon

The study of the manifold ethnocultural heritage of Russia is one of the paramount tasks, potentially the most important area of Russian humanities. At the same time, the literary traditions of the peoples of our country, representing a unique civilizational integrity, spiritual wealth, are of significant scientific interest. Focusing on the problems of the development of "minority" literature and the contexts of its updating, it must be emphasized that this is a complex and theoretically insufficiently comprehended artistic and aesthetic, ethnopsychological, linguistic phenomenon. It should be recognized that at present there is a need for fundamental comparative studies and the development of new approaches to the study of close and distant cultures, literature, and models of the world. The article discusses the realities of the development of a separate "minority" literature at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries on the example of poetic texts by the Nenets poet Prokopiy Yavtysy. A brief description of the main stages of the formation of the Nenets literature is given, a number of its key features that are important for heterogeneous typological, comparative studies are highlighted. P. Yavtysy’s work represents a set of artistic features and codes of expressiveness that are common to many literary traditions of the native minorities of the Far North, Siberia, and the Far East, and there are also separate stadial and typological correspondences with Finno-Ugric literature of Russia. The main poetic methods and contexts of Yavtysy’s poems are established, the most representative figurative and symbolic strata, plot and situational blocks are determined, the linguistic and poetic component is interpreted. The deep genetic connection of the poetic system of the Nenets author with the folklore and mythological ideas of the Nenets is emphasized. The question of the influence of socialist realism on the artistic rhetoric of P. Yavtysy is raised. In the article, a separate place is occupied by the problem of translating the works by the Nenets author into Russian.

Secret Knowledge

In 1518 a Spanish gentleman, just back from the West Indies, addressed a Summary of World Geography to his King. In the Dedication he pointed out that since the Pope's Line, which parted the Portuguese and Spanish spheres, ran through the mouth of the River Amazon, 28°W. of Ferro, all the World beyond 150°E. (i.e. 130°E. of Greenwich) lay open to exploitation by Spain. And according to the World Map of the day the area included Java, Japan, King Solomon's Ophir, and (best of all) the Spice Islands or Moluccas from which the Portuguese were already making fabulous fortunes. This gentleman was not the only person to speak to the young King on this matter. The captains and pilots who had opened up the Spice Islands for Portugal were dissatisfied with the rewards which their own King had given them, and a number of them offered their services and their special and secret knowledge to his rival. Ferdinand Magellan was one of them. From his experience in the Far East he was of the opinion that the Moluccas could be safely approached from the west, by way of the Great Ocean. And it should be emphasized that in suggesting this he had no romantic notions about becoming the first man to circumnavigate the globe. He put forward a business pro position which the Spanish King accepted. Immediately the most thorough preparations were set on foot. They included the making of new charts, new globes, new sea-quadrants and sea-astrolabes, by the best pilots and craftsmen of the day, of whom the most were Portuguese.

The first steps have been taken to study microplastics in the beach areas of the Arctic seas and the southern part of the Far East. Researches have shown that the average concentration in the areas studied is about 1 particle per kilogram of beach ground which is significantly lower than in other regions of the world. However due to the difficult access and irregular nature of the work an objective situation cannot be presented yet.
