Abstract. In the Northern Apennines there are many historical villages and castles, which are of great value and represent a cultural heritage of great importance. Their presence within a territory greatly affected by landslide hazards creates, in many circumstances, the need to solve problems of land management and to act for the preservation of historical monuments. This paper describe an interesting landslide, failed during the night of 28 February 2004, that involved the village of Rossena: the failure damaged the village (Fig. 1), the road and the fields down to the stream but, fortunately, the castle just upslope the village was not involved at all. The 10th century massive castle of Rossena stands on the top of a cliff at about 500 m a.s.l., on the border between the provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia, and it is surrounded by a small ancient village. The castle of Rossena is the best preserved stronghold of the Longobard times, enlarged and reinforced in the tenth century and partially rebuilt by Bonifacio, the father of Matilda of Canossa (the Vice-Queen of Italy and probably the most important woman in the Middle Ages) as a defensive structure guarding the Enza Valley. In addition, at Conossa, very close to Rossena, there was the meeting between Pope Gregory VII and the Emperor of Germany Henry IV, during the historical event known as "fight for the investitures". For these reasons, the area of Rossena is one of the most relevant from a historical point of view in the entire western part of the Emilia Romagna Region and it also has a high value as a geosite (Coratza et al., 2004).

Статья посвящена исследованию поэм К. Иванова «Нарспи» и С. Есенина «Анна Снегина» с точки зрения особенностей национальной модели мира и человека. Своеобразие данных произведений видится в экзистенциальном ракурсе восприятия событий, но при этом каждый из героев выступает прежде всего как носитель своей национальной стихии. В поэмах в центре внимания - семья, деревенский уклад жизни со своими радостями и проблемами, где лад крестьянской жизни связан с национальными образами. Главными героинями являются молодые женщины - Нарспи, Анна, в судьбах которых высвечивается трагическое начало. Однако в поэме С. Есенина образы крестьян, лирического героя, Анны воспринимаются сквозь призму конкретно-исторических событий - революции, гражданской войны, в то время как мир поэмы К. Иванова дан вне конкретно-исторической реальности, что высвечивает мифологическую составляющую картины мира. Обе эти книги построены на хронотопе дороги, особое семантическое значение придается поэтике цвета, звука и света, архетипу круга. Поэму «Нарспи» отличает бинарная картина мира, оппозиция «сад - лес» является значимой. События в поэмах возводятся к классическому мифу об уходе и возвращении, а социальный мотив разрушения старого мира во имя нового рассматривается как мифологический. Сравнительно-сопоставительный аспект исследования позволил выявить общие черты и неповторимые особенности национального мировидения и миропонимания. The article is devoted to the study of the poems of K. Ivanov “Narspi” and S. Yesenin “Anna Snegina” from the point of view of the peculiarities of the national model of the world and man. The originality of the poems is seen in the existential perspective of the perception of events, but each of the characters acts primarily as a carrier of the national element. In the poems, the focus is on the family, the village way of life with holidays, joys and problems, where the harmony of peasant life is connected with national images. The main characters are young women: Narspi and Anna, whose fates are characterized by the tragic beginning. However, the images of peasants, the lyrical hero, Anna are perceived through the prism of specific historical events - the revolution, the civil war in the poem by S. Yesenin, while the world of the poem by K. Ivanov is given outside of concrete historical reality, which highlights the mythological component of the picture of the world. The poems are based on the chronotope of the road, with a special semantic meaning attached to the poetics of color, sound and light, the archetype of the circle. The poem “Narspi” is distinguished by a binary picture of the world, the opposition “garden-forest” is significant there. The events in the poems are raised to the classic myth of departure and return, and the social motive of destroying the old world in the name of the new is considered as mythological. The comparative aspect of the study allowed us to identify common and unique features of the national worldview and worldview.

A stereoscopic view on a particular historical event, in which contemporary assessments are combined with mental stereotypes of a medieval man, allows a slightly different assessment of the chronicle plot about the posthumous “baptism of bones” of Oleg and Yaropolk, Princes of Kyivan Rus, in 1044. While from theological positions it is perceived as an absurdity and a direct violation of the rules of the church, in the Middle Ages this act did not contradict the mass religious beliefs. From an ethical point of view, the action of Yaroslav the Wise was regarded as concern for the souls of the ancestors who died pagans and therefore did not claim for the salvation. The soteriological optimism that prevailed in the eleventh century in countries of the late Christianization, including Kyivan Rus, gave hope that living people were able to influence the fate of the souls of the dead. From a political point of view, the baptism of the ashes of the ancestors and their reburial in the family tomb of the Princes of Kyiv in the Church of the Tithes was aimed at expanding the circle of heavenly patrons and protectors of the princely dynasty, expanding the period of the Christian history of Kyivan Rus, and, as a result, legitimizing the power of Yaroslav the Wise.

The Great Silk Road is one of the most significant achievements in the history of world civilization. An extensive system of caravan routes crossed Europe and Asia from the Mediterranean to China, and in Ancient times and in the middle Ages served as an important means of trade and communication between Western and Eastern cultures. The longest route passed through Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Since the appearance of the Great silk road, trade caravans passing through the modern land of the Kazakh people have had a great impact on the development of urban culture. One of the points of view is that these cities arose on the basis of caravanserais, while another point of view is based on the fact that they arose from the settlements of peoples who migrated from Central Asia during the existence of the Turkic States and established their own settlements. Historically, the road received the name “Silk Road” in connection with the silk trade, and later the word “Great” was added to this name because the road connected the vast Eastern and Western regions. Thus, this article attempts to answer the question of which mixed cultures arose as a result of the emergence of the largest urban cultures in the trading system, which went down in history as the “Great Silk Road”. Recently, historians have paid more attention to the modern history of Kazakhstan, while some issues of the medieval, in particular, the early medieval history of the Kazakh people have remained poorly studied. To fill this gap, the authors of the article focus on the analysis of the history of large cities of the early Middle Ages in Semirechye and Southern Kazakhstan, the main trade and economic centers and direct relations of Sogdian peoples with the Turks. The article provides a lot of information for students and doctoral students studying the medieval period.

Castello dei Conti di Biandrate: surveys on the surviving structureBiandrate is a northern Italian village in the province of Novara that lies in the Po plain between the Sesia and Ticino rivers. Border area disputed between Vercelli and Novara, since the early Middle Ages it represented an important crossing point because there were the fords of the Sesia river nearby, on the road axis joining Novara and Ivrea. Its importance grew in the tenth century, when the Pieve was erected, today disappeared, dedicated to Santa Maria and, in 1029, the Counts of Pombia family settled in the Biandrate castrum. In 1168 the castrum was destroyed by the armies of Milan, allied with Novara and Vercelli, that in 1194 carved up the territory. In the second half of the thirteenth century the village of Biandrate was divided into the Borgo Vecchio, vercellese, to the west, and the Borgo Nuovo, novarese, to the east. They developed around the canonica of S. Colombano, the hospital and the ruins of the Count’s castrum. The castrum, almost totally destroyed, continued to represent an area with particular rights: in fact the Statues established that the Podestà could pronounce sentences only “in castro veteri Blanderati”. Nowadays the collegiata of S. Colombano stands on the Biandrate castrum ruins; the collegiata was mentioned for the first time in 1146, but was altered various times over the centuries. In particular, portions of the ancient wall are visible in the lower part of the west wall of the church of Santa Caterina, incorporated within the complex of the collegiate of S. Colombano. It is noticed that the ancient castrum had very thick walls made primarily with river pebbles, roughly cut stones in a herringbone pattern and binding mortar.

Utilization of land for public facilities is the ideals of the constitution as stated that "to be used for the greatest prosperity of the people" and "land to function socially" based on Law No. 5/1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Regulations. The use of land for the public facilities does not give priority rights to a party or individual. Collective use within the community must be addressed wisely and proportionally in its use. A public road that is regarded as a public facility, no one can claim to be entitled to a road because it borders or is close to the land or occupancy. With the closed access to the use and benefitting of roads as the public facilities, it is difficult to determine the violation of the law committed. There is a Provincial Regulation which regulates the prohibition of parking on the roads, but this prohibition is not well-regulated in other regions with its legal products. Disregarding in the community to the road users as public facilities, can become a social problem and must be resolved with a consensus reflecting the Pancasila as the life point of view. Deliberation and consensus is a solution to solving problems by involving Village Traditional Institutions or similar names based on regionalism. Deliberation and consensus as a solution to the use of land for public facilities, can produce decisions in village deliberations. The Village Customary Institution as a partner to the Village Government can propose the joint use of community public facilities to be regulated in a Village Regulation. Normative legal research is the method used in this study. There is no violation of legal rules in the unwise use of public facilities, making this community problem must be resolved by the community itself by prioritizing the value of the Pancasila and after that it can be elaborated in the simplest rules in the Village Regulation.

The method used in this research is normative legal research bycomparingthe constitutional law and state administrative law to obtain clarity regarding the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Village. The result shows that the Ministry of Village approached the science of state administrative law, namely to revive or give spirits to the village. Disharmonization began to exist since the inception of the Ministry of Village. The root of disharmony itself was the improper application of constitutional foundations in the formation of the Village Law. It would be better if the government reassess the constitutional foundation for the village.

The ruins at Yanıkhan form the remains of a Late Roman village in the interior of Rough Cilicia some 8 kilometres inland from the village of Limonlu on the road to Canbazlı (see Fig. 1). The site has not been frequently visited by scholars, and the first certain reference to its existence was made by the late Professor Michael Gough after his visit on 2 September 1959. Yanıkhan is now occupied only by the Yürüks who for years have wintered on the southern slopes of Sandal Dağ. The ancient settlement at Yanıkhan consisted of a village covering several acres. The remains are still extensive, and some, especially the North Basilica, are very well preserved, but there has been considerable disturbance in recent years as stone and rubble have been removed in order to create small arable clearings. The visible remains include many domestic buildings constructed both from polygonal masonry without mortar and from mortar and rubble with coursed smallstone facing. There are several underground cisterns and a range of olive presses. The countryside around the settlement has been terraced for agricultural purposes in antiquity, and is, like the settlement itself, densely covered with scrub oak and wild olive trees. The most impressive remains are those of the two basilical churches which are of little artistic pretension, but considerable architectural interest. The inscription which forms the substance of this article was found on the lintel block of the main west entrance of the South Basilica.
