Considers mass readership and the ‘tastes’ it produces. Maps the history of criminals and execution spectacles, particularly as addressed by the London ‘public’ voices of Defoe and Dickens. Connects these mass events to the new mass print culture and circulation forms, such as the penny dreadfuls and their Newgate novel precursor. This shows the development of the public’s ‘taste for blood’, anxieties at an encroaching nonhumanity, and an infatuation with the inhuman from Jack Sheppard to Sweeney Todd and Dracula.

This article explores the ways in which the newly founded and highly contested Christian confession of the Greek Catholics or Uniates employed strategies of mass mobilization to establish and maintain their position within a contested confessional terrain. The Greek Catholic clerics, above all monks of the Basilian order fostered an active policy of acquiring, founding and promoting Marian places of grace in order to create and invigorate a sense of belonging among their flock. The article argues that folk ideological notions concerning the spatial and physical conditions for the working of miracles were seized upon by the Greek Catholic faithful to establish a mental map of grace of their own. Especially, the Basilian order took particular care to organize mass events (annual pilgrimages, coronation celebrations for miraculous images) and promote Marian devotion through miracle reports and icon songs in an attempt to define what it means to be a Greek Catholic in terms of sacred territoriality.

The special mobile diagnostic group (MDG) is formed in the Federal State Budgetary Establishment «33 Central Scientific Research Test Institute» of the Ministry of Defenсe of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the institute) to perform tasks related to the radiation and chemical (RCh) control of different objects, to ensure RCh safety and security of mass events, as well as to perform special tasks of RCh examination of samples of all kinds. The purpose of the work is to consider the design, capabilities and organization of the mobile complex of chemical control (MCCC), which is the basis of the technical equipment of the MDG. The complex is created on the basis of Ford-Transit off-road vehicle with the equipment for the MDG and a container installed on a two-axle platform, where the equipment for the MDG is located. The complex is equipped with modern analytical equipment, means of communications, navigation, information processing and automatic meteorological observation, with the life support kit, autonomous power and water supply systems, exhaust ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems. The technical characteristics of the MCCC are as follows: crew – 8 people; preparation time – no more than 60 minutes; time for the preliminary identification of substances detected by the mobile group (from the moment of arrival) – no more than 60 minutes; the lower limit of detection of toxic chemicals in environmental objects – at the maximum concentration limit; time of confirming identification of detected toxic chemicals (from the moment of delivery of samples) – no more than 180 minutes; cruising range – up to 700 km. The methodological apparatus is also developed, that ensures the functioning of the MCCC crew during the performance of wide range of tasks of the MDG. Subsequently, this methodological apparatus has been repeatedly expanded and refined based on the results of the complex's participation in ensuring the RCh security of various mass events. The algorithm of carrying out special chemical control by technical means of the MCCC complex is presented in the article. The complex is capable of detecting both low-hazard and emergency concentrations of practically all known toxic chemicals in various samples, and identifying these substances in environmental objects.

The article analyzes the problem of forming patriotism and citizenship during the period of students ’ education in higher educational institutions. Educational work is considered as an integral part of the educational activity of a higher educational institution. The goals and objectives of legal and civil patriotic education, its role in the formation of a fullfledged citizen and patriot of their country are formulated. The article reveals the successful experience of individual educational institutions in organizing mass events of a civil-patriotic orientation among students, as well as the difficulties and problems in conducting them. Special attention is paid to the experience of the Kazan National Research Technological University.

AbstractSociety of Archaeology Students (SAS), in Polish: Koło Naukowe Studentów Archeologii (KNSA), is one of the oldest student societies working within the Institute of Archaeology of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. In recent years SAS began to work in cooperation with other archaeological, historical and educational organisations, as well as with museums and open-air archaeological reservations. Most of our work is focused around building and maintaining the archaeological consciousness in contemporary society – not only through participating in various mass events but also through preparing workshops for people from local communities, as well as through adding archaeological impressions to various museum events and mass outdoor reenactment festivals. Within the current outlook on archaeological methodology, those actions are linked to so-called public archaeology – the concept that is still somewhat new in many areas of archaeological activities in Poland.The following article concerns strategies that are present in the SAS’ archaeological popularisation initiatives, as well as our reflections and inquiries on the topic of archaeological education in contemporary reality, with its numerous homogenised, standardised or idealised concepts of the past, often mirrored in many historical festivals’ conventions. Through our observations based upon various experiences, we would like to try to determine how the archaeological education and popularisation could be more widely recognised not only as a valuable but rather as an inseparable part of being an archaeolo-gist – university scholar or a field-working one.

The conceptual aspects of ensuring the public safety and order during mass events in accordance with the implemented methodology of the National Police of Ukraine in the field of the realization of citizens’ rights to peaceful assembly have been analyzed in this article. The peculiarities of the organization of the activity of the police bodies and subunits within the limits of the joint performance of tasks concerning the maintenance of law and order have been defined. The main ways and methods of using police forces and means while preventing and stopping the offenses during peaceful assemblies have been analyzed for compliance with the national legislation. The authors have also compared some tactical methods used by the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine and those that are adopted from the European practice of policing and, accordingly, specified in the departmental regulations governing the relevant field of the professional duties. The statements, suggested in this scientific article, are based on the results of the interviews with the leadership of the National Police bodies and subunits that directly implement the tasks of the ensuring public safety and order during mass events and have been trained by the European Union Advisory Mission in Ukraine aiming to form a new model of securing the public order [1].
