The study of G. Roerichs scientific heritage is at its beginning. An important basis of Roerichs many-sided scientific activities were his investigations during the expeditions in Asia. The longest, most dangerous and laborious among them was the Central Asiatic expedition of his father - N.K. Roerich. The goal of this article is to examine G.N. Roerichs activities on every stage of the Central Asiatic expedition, as well as G.N. Roerichs works, publishing the results of the expedition research. G.N. Roerich presented the basic results in his monograph Trails to Inmost Asia: Five years of exploration with the Roerich Central Asian Expedition published in English in USA in 1931. Roerichs description of North and Central Tibet is unique because the theocratic state in Tibet and nomad tribes, which Roerich had observed, are no more existing. Roerichs field investigations continued the historical tradition of Russian expeditions in Central Asia. It extended our scientific knowledge about the insufficiently known regions in Asia.

The article provides a brief overview of the main stages of development and increment of scientific knowledge about Abkhazia, describes the most important achievements in the field of collecting, source research and systematization of the material. It is noted that, in General, abkhazov studies have not reached the completeness and abundance of publications that are typical for other regional sections of Russian kavkazov studies. This indicates the relevance of studying the scientific heritage of Anatoly Nestorovich Genko, an outstanding scientist, linguist, ethnologist, and kavkazologist. The main attention is paid to Genko’s lectures delivered in the autumn semester of 1940 to students of the ethnographic Department of the Geographical faculty of Leningrad University. The lecture course on Ethnography of the peoples of the Caucasus consisted of twenty lectures, two of which were devoted to Abkhazia. The article describes the structure of the course, the author’s methodology and techniques. It is noted that, choosing an example from the phenomena of everyday culture, Genko considered it in more detail, in detail, and, as a rule, extrapolating to the entire Caucasus, within the framework of regional specifics as an element of the Caucasian civilizational universe. The problems formulated by Genko related to the study of the history, religion, and Ethnography of Abkhazia were aimed at identifying the most striking features of the region. Lectures abound with rare material related to the manifestations of ancient ethnic traditions, Patriarchal features of Abkhazian life, and the specifics of national culture, which makes them relevant today.

The purpose of the publication is an invitation to honor the outstanding pediatrician Ernst Moro (1874–1951), with an attempt to return his pronunciation of the surname by emphasizing the first syllable (Móro), to recall the life and creative career of this outstanding scientist and doctor. The Moro reflex described in 1918 is now widely used by modern pediatricians and pediatric neurologists in everyday practice. Ernst Moro’s scientific achievements in the development of a skin test for tuberculosis diagnostics, the organization of the efforts against diarrhea in young children, and the formation of pediatric dietology have made Ernst Moro’s scientific heritage extremely important for modern pediatrics.

The paper summarizes the findings of the historiographic and archaeological fieldwork focused on the preservation and development of the scientific heritage of the Russian scientists of the 19th — early 20th centuries in the area of the Syro-Palestinian region that most closely matches the concept of the “Holy Land”. The author identifies three core directions of development in the Russian archaeology: field study of the traces of the Russian pilgrims, scientists, representatives of the government and the Orthodox Church; study of antiquities in some Russian areas; insights into the heritage of the 19th — early 20th centuries as historical sources with its further inclusion in the system of modern scientific knowledge. The paper describes the findings obtained to date (including the interim results of excavations in Jericho, the scientific interpretation of a number of artefacts from the collection of Antonin Kapustin, the first catalogues of archaeological sites in the Russian areas). The author focuses on expanding fieldwork, classifying and attributing antiquities, launching them in circulation at the level of modern science, creating a monograph on the history of the Russian studies in the 19th — early 20th centuries.

The article considers the historiographical situation in the world science, the exhaustion of the heuristic potential of the traditional East/West binary opposition and the displacement of its new West / Rest. The formation of «global historiography» is traced, its cultural and historical prerequisites in the origin of the discipline «general history» in Russia are revealed. At the same time, the initial assumptions of the anti-globalist trend in modern historiography, associated with the search for national identity, are revealed. It is noted the appeal of conservative Russian thought to the Byzantine heritage, to the spiritual potential of Asian societies.
