Статья рассматривает проблематику реконструкции биографии Иоанна Мосха, обозначает трудности сопоставления источников, содержащих основные сведения о жизни палестинского подвижника. Неоднородность, разрозненность и некоторая противоречивость источников, содержащих биографические сведения об Иоанне Мосхе, ставит перед исследователями задачу их сопоставления и анализа. В силу того, что источники не представляют конкретных и точных биографических данных, любая версия воссоздания жизненного пути Иоанна Мосха будет представлять предположение. В статье делается попытка разобраться в хронологии основных этапов жизни Иоанна Мосха. This article examines the problems of reconstructing the biography of John Moschus, identifies the difficulties of comparing sources containing basic information about the life of this Palestinian ascetic. The heterogeneity, fragmentation and some inconsistency of the sources containing biographical information about John Moschus, sets before the researchers the task of comparing and analyzing them. Due to the fact that the sources do not provide specific and accurate biographical data, any version of the recreation of the life path of John Moschus will be a supposition. This article attempts to understand the chronology of the main stages in the life of John Moschus.

The publication introduces materials on M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin’s descendants from S.A. Makashin’s archive. By now there has been available basic biographical information about Konstantin Mikhailovich, the writer’s son and the author of the famous memoir Intimate Shchedrin (1923) negatively assessed by Soviet literary critics. Even less information survived on the writer’s daughter Elizaveta Mikhailovna, Baroness Disterlaut in her first marriage, Countess Da Passano in her second marriage. She hadn’t left memoirs about her father and therefore hasn’t become an object of interest for scholars. Materials from Makashin’s archive specify some biographical data and stir up an interest in the personality of the writer’s daughter. However it is the materials about her children, Tamara Nikolaevna Disterlaut (Gladyrevskaia in her second marriage), and Andrei Evgenievich Da Passano, that are of special interest. A part of the unpublished work by E. Gard, a journalist, appears in print for the first time: in 1934 he came to Kraskovo (Moscow region) and met the writer’s grand-daughter. Further information about T.N. Gladyrevskaia is given in the memoir written by her daughter Elena Aleksandrovna Gladyrevskaia and in the online materials about the victims of Stalinist repressions. Saltykov’s granddaughter was arrested in 1938; later her children were told that their mother had died in 1945; in fact, she was executed at Butovo Shooting Range soon after her arrest. The writer’s grandson left Russia together with his parents in 1917. His letter to G.V. Plekhanov’s daughter is published: he writes about his parents and himself. Information about A. Da Passano is specified thanks to the data available online (websites devoted to Italian comics creators and American esotery scientists). He lived a long life rich in the events, and died in the USA in 1933.

Political repressions affected representatives of all social strata and groups. This period left a bulk of documents, including memoirs, where the most intimate and difficult thoughts and recollections of their authors are reflected. One of valuable sets of memoirs of political repressions history is collected by the Sakharov Center website. The electronic resource "Memories of the Gulag and their authors" is valuable not only because it exhibits memoirs of more than one and a half thousand people who suffered from repressions but also because of the biographical information about the authors of these memoirs compiled on the basis of information from the memoirs. Biographical data on the victims of the Gulag system became the main source of this study. They allow us to describe and analyze the social portrait of Gulag victims who left memories. Biographical data became a source for creating the database "Gulag prisoners-authors of memoirs". The social portrait of the repressed and its characteristic features were described, as well as a comparison of the social portrait of male and female prisoners was made. Males and females were analyzed separately to pursue the goal set. The analysis suggests that there is a certain similarity of biographical characteristics among the authors of the memoirs which is probably due to the fact that the educated, intelligent segments of the population were one of the objects of a purposeful repressive policy followed in the Soviet state. .

Biographical Knowledge

AbstractResearch on adoptive parents of anonymously born children is still scarce. Open issues are (1) examining how much biographical information is available to adoptive parents, (2) considering differences between adoptive mothers and fathers, and (3) understanding what affects their dyadic coping. Hence, this study set out to compare adoptive mothers’ and fathers’ mental health, attachment styles, dyadic coping, and biographical knowledge, and to identify predictors of dyadic coping. 62 mothers and 40 fathers (mean age: 46 years) raising an anonymously born adoptee answered online or paper-pencil versions of the Brief Symptom Inventory, Vulnerable Attachment Style Questionnaire, Dyadic Coping Inventory, Child Behavior Checklist, and a checklist of biographical data. Descriptive analyses showed that biographical knowledge was generally low in adoptive parents. More information was available on the birth mother than the birth father, with letters being the most common memorial. Furthermore, student t-tests revealed few differences: adoptive mothers reported to be more anxious and rated their ability to communicate stress and common dyadic coping as higher than did adoptive fathers. Finally, a hierarchical linear regression identified knowledge of more biographical data, parents’ older age as well as child’s younger age and higher psychopathology scores as predictors of better adoptive parents’ dyadic coping. These findings highlight the difficult task of gathering biographical information whilst maintaining the birth mother’s anonymity. They also stress the need of further research which may inform policies tailored to the specific needs of adoptive parents in the context of anonymous birth.

In comparison to many other fields of ultrastructural research in Cell Biology, the successful exploration of genes and gene activity with the electron microscope in higher organisms is a late conquest. Nucleic acid molecules of Prokaryotes could be successfully visualized already since the early sixties, thanks to the Kleinschmidt spreading technique - and much basic information was obtained concerning the shape, length, molecular weight of viral, mitochondrial and chloroplast nucleic acid. Later, additonal methods revealed denaturation profiles, distinction between single and double strandedness and the use of heteroduplexes-led to gene mapping of relatively simple systems carried out in close connection with other methods of molecular genetics.

In 1911 Aleksander Stenbock-Fermor, a Russian aristocrat, offered the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, a well-preserved mammoth from Lyakhowskiy Island, New Siberian Isles. This paper presents a hitherto unpublished memorandum that Stenbock-Fermor addressed to Edmond Perrier, the Museum's director, which related the circumstances surrounding the discovery, removal and transportation of the mammoth from Siberia to St Petersburg and thence to Paris. The paper also presents some biographical information on Konstany Wołłossowicz, who explored Siberia and who organized the expedition to Lyakhowskiy Island in order to bring the mammoth to Europe.
