The article is devoted to the analysis of the use of certain proper names as objects of comparison. The names changed their old emotional-evaluative connotattions or acquired new ones in the post-Soviet period. We select different structural types of comparison with connotative proper names, namely: direct comparison with comparative markers, conjunctionless comparison, negative comparison. We show the potential ability of connotonymic comparative constructions to serve as the means of emotional evaluation.

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the proper names that have changed or acquired emotional and evaluative connotations over the last 30 years (the connotative names used in a figurative sense in the texts of different genres). The experiment, 200 respondents from Volgograd and Tyumen involved two stages: first, the degree of names recognition was determined, second, the level of reproducibility of these names in a figurative meaning was identified. Socio-political situation changes tend to lead to significant semantic shifts in the meaning of well-known connotative names. Of particular relevance is the post-Soviet period, a new stage in the history of modern Russia, due to having affected both the economic and political processes in the country and the value priorities of Russian society reflected in the language of the last three decades. Psycholinguistic methods for studying lexical semantics, namely, the method of addition and synonymous replacement and the method of restoring incomplete utterance, were applied to establish the features of understanding and reproducibility of connotative names of the post-Soviet period by native speakers of the Russian language. The results allow ranking the names according to the degree of recognition (low, medium, or high) and marking the levels of reproducibility (names with stable or lost connotations). The regional and age peculiarities of understanding and reproducing the connotative names of the post-Soviet period are noted. The prospects and relevance of the lexicographic description of the connotative names are determined.

Статья посвящена коннотативным именам собственным (коннотонимам), которые в постсоветский период (с начала 1990-х до наших дней) изменили или приобрели эмоционально-оценочные значения. Охарактеризована комплексная авторская методика коммуникативного описания данных имен, включающая последовательное применение нескольких методов: 1) контекстуального анализа - для определения разовых коннотативных значений в отдельных контекстах и последующее обобщение нескольких похожих значений, зафиксированных во многих контекстах с однотипным языковым окружением; 2) компонентного анализа - для выявления по каждому имени набора семантических признаков, характерных для его функционирования в последние тридцать лет; 3) стилистического анализа - для характеристики функциональной маркированности коннотонимов и возможностей их использования в качестве образного средства; 4) лингвистического сопоставления - для установления семантической динамики коннотативных имен на разных этапах их существования в рамках рассматриваемого периода. По результатам коммуникативного описания можно сделать вывод о том, что, приобретая свойства коннотонима, имена собственные проходят определенные стадии семантического развития от обозначения единичного объекта до полноценного понятия. The article is devoted to the connotative proper names (connotonyms), which changed or acquired emotional and evaluative meanings in the post-Soviet period (from the early 1990s to the present day). The author's complex methodology of communicative description of these names, which includes consistent application of several methods, is characterized. These methods are: 1) contextual analysis - to determine single connotative meanings in individual contexts and subsequent generalization of several similar meanings recorded in many contexts with the same linguistic environment; 2) component analysis - to identify for each name a set of semantic features characteristic of its functioning in the last thirty years; 3) stylistic analysis - to characterize the functional marking of connotative names and the possibilities of their use as a figurative means; 4) linguistic comparison - to establish the semantic dynamics of connotative names at different stages of their existence within the period under consideration. Based on the results of communicative description we can conclude that the proper names, acquiring the properties of connotative, pass through certain stages of semantic development - from the designation of a single object to a full-fledged concept.

The article is devoted to the study of the party model of Russian parliamentarism in post-soviet period. The focus is on the issues of party representation and its correlation with the distribution of the managerial positions and introduction of collective legislation at State Duma. These issues are examined from the point of view of reaching cross-party consensus and implementation of fair parliament party representation principle. According to the author Russian parliamentarism model aims at reaching full-fledged party consensus that corresponds better to the principles of popular representation than strict parliament polarization along the line of “authority-opposition”. Understanding of those issues by the majority of the players was noted from the very start of the State Duma activities, in spite of the acute conflicts in the 1990-ies.The author draws the conclusion that the equation of party representation continues to grow at the level of managerial positions in the parliament that allows to improve cooperation of the parties and to reduce authority and opposition conflicts. Thereby the Russian parliamentarism model makes an important contribution to the stabilization of socio-political situation of the country.

The author of the publication reviews the photobook “Palimpsests”, published in 2018 in the publishing house “Ad Marginem Press” with the support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation. The book presents photos of post-Soviet cities taken by M. Sher. Preface, the author of which is the coordinator of the “Democracy” program of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Russia N. Fatykhova, as well as articles by M. Trudolyubov and K. Bush, which accompany these photos, contain explanation of the peculiarities of urban space formation and patterns of its habitation in the Soviet Union times and in the post-Soviet period. The author of the publication highly appreciates the publication under review. Analyzing the photographic works of M. Sher and their interpretation undertaken in the articles, the author of the publication agrees with the main conclusions of N. Fatykhova, M. Trudolyubov and K. Bush with regards to the importance of the role of the state in the processes of urban development and urbanization in the Soviet and post-Soviet space, but points out that the second factor that has a key influence on these processes is ownership relations. The paper positively assesses the approach proposed by the authors of the photobook to the study of the post-Soviet city as an architectural and landscape palimpsest consisting mainly of two layers, “socialist” and “capitalist”. The author of the publication specifically emphasizes the importance of analyzing the archetypal component of this palimpsest, pointing out that the articles published in the reviewed book do not pay sufficient attention to this issue. Particular importance is attributed by the author to the issue of metageography of post-Soviet cities and meta-geographical approach to their exploration. Emphasizing that the urban palimpsest is a system of realities, each in turn including a multitude of ideas, meanings, symbols, and interpretations, the author points out that the photobook “Palimpsests” is actually an invitation to a scientific game with space, which should start a new direction in the study of post-Soviet urban space.
