Yosef Hayim Brenner was born in 1881 in Novi Mlini, in the Russian Empire (now Ukraine). Like many Hebrew and Yiddish writers of his generation, he received a traditional religious education but later rejected his religious training. As a young man, Brenner migrated to urban cultural centres, including London. Brenner’s own brand of modernism was characterized by formal as well as thematic elements. Formally, Brenner’s fiction mirrored the disintegration of modern life in its circularity and fragmentation. Brenner himself linked what he called the ‘brokenness’ of reality with the formal brokenness of narrative in modernist fiction like his own. This fragmentation of the narrative reflected the existential alienation of many of his characters, who were trying to find their place in the chaos of modern life.

The author provides a char-acteristic of the educational process transformation in an organization, the volume, the forms and the methods of the Law of God teaching. Particular attention is paid to reading and explanation of Sunday and holiday Gospels and Epistles of the Apostles in military educational institutions: the passages from the Holy Scripture books are shown, which compiled a collection to help a teacher of law in conducting class-room studies; distribution of reading by classes; the methods of reading.

The purpose of this work is to give a brief analysis of the legal status of spiritual Christians Molokans in the Russian Empire, following the dynamics of state legal regulation. The problem of the individual sectarian groups status remains little studied in both domestic and foreign literature, which determines its relevance. We use the following research methods: chronological, problem and analytical. We analyze the norms of administrative and criminal law in force in the 19th - early 20th centuries in the Russian Empire, which regulate the rights and obligations of subjects assigned to the Molokan sect. The analysis showed that the legal impact of the state on the Molokans was repressive and causal throughout most of the studied period. Only the reign of Alexander I was marked by a loyal attitude towards sectarians. After the revolutionary events of 1905, a number of civil and religious freedoms were granted to the Molokans, however, one cannot speak of the religious equality of all subjects during this period. After 1905, specialized acts were passed regulating the procedure for registering communities, holding conventions, organizing religious education, and other areas of public relations.

In the twentieth century, the Russian Empire acted as a country where the state religion - Orthodoxy - was legally established. According to the census of 1897, the number of Orthodox Christians was 87.3 million, or 69.5% of the population. The Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church in its report for 1902 stated: "The Orthodox Russian people, who by nature deeply believe, consider all phenomena of life not only family and social, but also state life only in the light of faith" However, already in 1916 the Synod in the definition No. 676 acknowledged that a mass fallout from faith began. And a year later the "deeply religious people" will betray their Church and, on the whole, enthusiastically accept the communist ideology that proclaimed religion as "the opium of the people", "the heart of the heartless world", "the spirit of soulless order", "the sigh of the oppressed creature". In this case, if "the sufferers for the faith were thousands, then the apostates are millions"

The article is devoted to the review of educational literature published in the printing houses of the largest Muslim regions of the Russian Empire in the XIX - beginning of the XX century. The author makes conclusion about general trends in religious education of Muslims, the main elements of which was a maktab (elementary school) and madrasa (high school), and also lists branches of science, that were an obligatory part of the student’s program. Is was noted that madrasas of each region had some sort of program, distinguished by in-depth study of a particular science. It is indicated that the superiority in the publication of Muslim educational literature in the Russian Empire in this period belonged to Kazan, which became the center of Muslim printing. In Daghestan and Turkestan, where Arab graphic printing firmly took its place in the early twentieth century, textbooks for Muslim schools were also produced repeatedly and in large editions, as well as sold for affordable prices. The author lists and characterizes the most popular textbooks that were widely used in these regions, and concludes that educational literature, prayer books and ritual manuals were equally in demand by the local population.

The article examines the life and work of one of the prominent missionaries and enlighteners of the Russian Empire of the second half of the 19th century, Stefan Kashmensky, based on archival materials and published sources. By virtue of the changed religious policy in the Russian Empire in the second half of the nineteenth century there were changes in religious education and missionary work in the Vyatka province. In the Vyatka Diocese, a special contribution to the development of missionary activity was made by the diocesan missionary, the archpriest Stefan Kashmensky. The article reflects the contribution of Stefan Kashmensky to the organization of full-fledged work with the Gentiles and Old Believers. To strengthen the work with non-believers on his initiative, the Vyatka Committee of the Orthodox Missionary Society was opened in the Vyatka province. Stefan Kashmensky contributed to the reorganization of missionary work with the Old Believers in the Vyatka Diocese. To this end, he, with the support of the clergy, opened an anti-scholastic school in the city of Vyatka to train missionaries from among the peasants. According to the decree of the Holy Synod, the experience of organizing schools against old believers was to spread throughout the Russian Empire. But the main result of the work of Stefan Kashmensky was the creation of the Vyatka brotherhood of St. Nicholas, which led the work in three main areas: with the Old Believers, with the non-Russian population and, later, with the sectarians. Thus, Stefan Kashmensky, through his activity, managed to improve the position of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Vyatka province and prepare missionaries for conducting religious work in all religious areas in the Vyatka Diocese.

This article focuses on an approach to the history of relations between religion and the state in Uzbekistan and how the tense relationship has influenced the progress of Uzbekistan's independence. The research uses historical, comparative, deductive, and systematic methods of analysis. The discussions show that as a result of the obstacles to obtaining religious education in Uzbekistan during the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, the spiritual and religious needs of many people were met with very limited notions, which have led to greater religious ignorance and pseudo-science that ultimately played a major role in activating extremist religious Islamist movements in the 21st century.

D. I. Mendeleev’s “cherished thoughts” on foreign trade and “proper protectionism”

Competition Growth

Foreign trade policy and its role in the economic growth of the national economy are considered through the prism of history and comparison of the formation of the industrial economy in the Russian Empire and the North American United States. The author compares the protectionism of D. I. Mendeleev, described in his economic works, and the free trade thinking of the American scholar W. Sumner, who formulated the “misconceptions” of protectionism. Mendeleev’s proper protectionism is grounded on the basic principles (incentivizing internal competition, growth of consumption, bringing up of new industries ), which are relevant for contemporary Russia. The author gives a typical example of the formation and decline of the factory industry using the case of mirror factories in the Ryazan province. These historical analogies, the paper argues, are necessary for the correct assessment of the current situation and for coming up with valid solutions aimed at the development of the Russian economy.
