The article is devoted to comprehension of ritual and magic role of coniferous tree (spruce, pine) in traditional national culture and is based on materials of a long-term (2000–2019) folklore and ethnographic expeditionary survey of villages of Tver region made by teachers and students of the State Academy of Slavic Culture (nowadays — Russian State University named after A. N. Kosygin). In addition to expedition materials, the work includes identified folklore and ethnographic archival records and publications of past years, related to the evidence of the coniferous tree's sacral meanings and reflecting the ritual tradition of not only Tver land, but also of territories associated with it. In Tver folk culture there is often a ritual synonymy of spruce and pine, which manifests itself both in attributive and in verbal terms. The logic of this article is primarily associated with Tver traditional calendar and agrarian complex, in which the spruce (pine) tree acts as a mythopoetically saturated ritual attribute of calendar rites and holidays. In addition, folklore and ethnographic evidence of the ritual and symbolic role of spruce (pine) in family and household rituals (wedding, maternity, recruiting) has been introduced. Thus, the material is built so that the archaic sacral meanings of the image of spruce (pine) in the ritual zone of Tver traditional culture are revealed, first of all, taking into account the North Russian dialect vocabulary connected with words "yel' ", "yelina", "yolka", "sosna" аnd their dialect meanings, аnd secondly, with the involvement of local ethnographical samples of traditional folk architecture and applied arts such as embroidery, weaving, wood carving and painting, which have preserved in a more or less evident form the sacred character of the depicted coniferous tree.

The article is devoted to the role of Islam in culture and social life of the Turkmen of southern Russia. The study is based on the author's field materials collected in 2007–2015 in the Stavropol and Astrakhan Regions. The ethnic group of the Russian Turkmen was formed in the XVII–XIX centuries and currently counts about 17,000 people. The Turkmen are Sunni Muslims, most of their customs and rituals are associated with Muslim prayers and symbolism. At the same time, the Turkmen are not among the zealous Muslims, in their spiritual culture there are folk customs and beliefs that are very superficially associated with Islam. In the Soviet period, the Russian Turkmen maintained their religion, secretly carried out Islamic rites and rules, despite the anti-religious state policy. Currently, the religiousness of the Turkmen varies greatly, but almost all families hold major religious ceremonies. Mosques play the role of community centers, social life in the Turkmen settlements is closely intertwined with religious life, and the mullahs are local leaders and take part in self-government bodies. Propaganda of fundamentalist Islam has not bypassed the Turkmen, as many regions of the North Caucasus. A peculiar situation has developed: young people have become involved in religion much more than old honored people, educated in the Soviet ideals. Residents of the Turkmen settlements and imams of mosques are trying to resist the spread of fundamentalist ideas. The situation is particularly difficult in the Stavropol Territory; so the regional administration is trying to control any cultural and religious activities on the ground, sometimes suspecting “Wahhabi sentiments” among quite loyal citizens, such as the Turkmen. It is important that the Turkmen are almost the only people of this region who, traditionally practicing Islam, retain complete loyalty to the Russian population and the Russian state

Abstract: The present study aimed to identify the role of the Internet in improving the teaching skills from the perspective of professors and graduate students at Malang State University. Therefore, two questionnaires were set, the first for the professors in the Department of Arabic Language at the Malang State University and the second for the students of the higher studies in the same department.  These questionnaires were applied to a sample of 25 and a sample of 10 graduate students respectively.The research reached, through the preparatory study, to the following results :To begin with, creating groups, or online mailing groups, is mainly to strengthen the communication among supervisors, professors and students, as well as, the use of the Internet to remotely train teachers. Then, according to the findings, the main obstacles to the use of the Internet are the uncertainty of professors of its importance and uses, and the weak cooperation between teachers and administrative teachers. In addition to that, the most important ways to using the internet are providing schools and universities with the necessary equipment and programs to access to the Internet, and giving professors and teachers authority regarding educational matters. Furthermore, graduate students were rarely using the Internet to access educational sites. Moreover, the lack of programs that serve the educational teaching process is the biggest obstacle to the use of the Internet, which indicates the lack of an important element, namely, programs in Arabic. This is a common result between teachers and students. Last but not least, teachers and professors should be given some educational authority, while highlighting the importance of the Internet and its uses to some of them.المستخلص: تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على دور الإنترنت في تحسين مهارات التدريس من وجهة نظر أساتذة وطلاب الدراسات العليا بجامعة مالانج الحكومية. فلذلك، تم وضع استبيانين، الأول للأساتذة في قسم اللغة العربية بجامعة مالانج الحكومية والثاني لطلاب الدراسات العليا في نفس القسم. وفقًا للنتائج، فإن العوائق الرئيسية أمام استخدام الإنترنت هي عدم اليقين من جانب الأساتذة حول أهميتها واستخداماتها، وضعف التعاون بين المعلمين والإداريين. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تتمثل أهم طرق استخدام الإنترنت في تزويد المدارس والجامعات بالمعدات والبرامج اللازمة للوصول إلى الإنترنت ومنح الأساتذة والمدرسين السلطة فيما يتعلق بالمسائل التعليمية. وعلاوة على ذلك، نادراً ما يستخدم طلاب الدراسات العليا الإنترنت للوصول إلى المواقع التعليمية. علاوة على ذلك، فإن نقص البرامج التي تخدم عملية التدريس التعليمية هو أكبر عقبة أمام استخدام الإنترنت، مما يدل على عدم وجود عنصر مهم، وهو البرامج باللغة العربية. يجب إعطاء المعلمين والأساتذة بعض السلطة التعليمية، مع تسليط الضوء على أهمية الإنترنت واستخداماتها لبعضهم. كلمات مفتاحية: الإنترنت؛ مهارات التدريس؛ تدريس اللغة العربية؛ تدريس اللغة الثانية.

The article offers a summary of the talks presented at the second International Practical Meeting “Mobilization of the ethnocultural resource as the most important aspect in countering extremism and terrorism”. The Meeting took place on November 23–24, 2018 in Grozny. It was organized by three universities of the Chechen Republic (GSTOU, ChStUn, ChSPU) with the participation of Institute of Oriental Studies RAS and the Dagestan State University. The participants have identified the specific aspects of the so-called «radical Islamism» in the North Caucasus, which they have described as ‘religious and political extremism». They have stressed that the fundamental difference between Islam as a world religion and such religious and political movements as Islamism, Wahhabism, Salafism are based on extremely aggressive ideologies and receive an additional support due to the discrepancy between essential features of Islamic dogmatics and radical types of social and political activity under the camouflage of pseudo-Islamic appeals.

Purpose: The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of the system of relations that were formed between the Orthodox Church and the authority of the Russian state in the early modern period. Methodology: The authors, based on the most recent research approaches of the characteristics of early modern states, use a number of examples to show the significant role of the church and its hierarchy which had both an effect on the secular authority actions, limited its power and represented the political role of the Russian state and society. Result: The authors point out to the informality, unfounded in any formal legislative acts. This informality allowed the church to respond flexibly to the demands of the moment, but at the same time weakened its position. The authors also point out that that being the only independent Orthodox Church; the Russian church imposed certain limitations on its actions as an independent force of the supreme power, which later served as one of the factors that caused the subordination of the church to the state and its transformation into integral element of the machinery of government. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of the State and the Church in Russia in the Early New Age: Custom and Law is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.

At the end of 2019 an old collection of insects was found in the Zoological Museum of Saratov State University. It was collected in the vicinity of Saratov, in the Lower Volga region, as well as in the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia, by young Andrey A. Richter while he was studying at school and Saratov University (1926–1930). The collection (185 specimens) was not processed, with most insects left unidentified. Nevertheless, it has been well preserved. Its examination has already produced first results important for better understanding of A. A. Richter biography. Further species identification may reveal the entomofauna composition not yet affected by environmental changes at the time, hence facilitating ecological research in the area. Collector – Andrey Andreevich Richter (1911–1950), prominent entomologist, Doctor of Biological Sciences (1945), professor, head of the coleopterology laboratory at the Institute of Zoology, Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1938–1939 he was arrested and imprisoned on false allegations. His life and scientific career were cut short by terminal illness at the age of 39. His main studies were focused on elytral venation and its role in phylogenetics, and on the detailed jewel beetles taxonomy (Buprestidae). The article is based on the documents and correspondence from Russian state archives, as well as from Richter family archive.

One of the key tasks of the modern Russian state and society is the preservation of cultural heritage. Cultural heritage includes a wide range of tangible and intangible objects that need constant study and preservation. This task is especially relevant for the maintenance of ethnic cultures of peoples that demonstrate unfavorable dynamics of ethnodemographic processes, which is typical in particular for the Finno-Ugric peoples of the Russian Federation. Based on the experience of implementing the master's program "Finno-Ugric World in historical, cultural and socio-political aspect" at Udmurt State University, the role of educational institutions in the institutionalization and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Udmurt people is studied.
