D.Ya. Martynov’s passion for astronomy manifested itself even before he began his studies at the University. During his studies he was involved to leading astronomical schools in Kazan, and in Leningrad. His openness to new scientific ideas and 23 уears of leadership experience as the director of the Engelgardt Observatory, when its position was strengthened within scientific astronomical community, – all these made him a brilliant scientist, leader and organizer of science. This experience allowed D.Ya.Martynov, after moving to the SAI, to understand clearly, what was needed to be done for the institute to reach new heights in science, to give birth for strong “scientific schools”, that remain actual for many years.

The purpose of the article is to find out the main trends of modern biobibliography over the last two years, which have reflected on the resource «Biographical Rating», the main objectives of the study are to determine the quantitative bibliographic indexes, the most productive bibliography centres, the main professional groups for which representatives bibliographic indexes are created. For the research process an analytical method was used to find out the nature of the sources, as well as a classification method to distinguish indicators by topic and grouping. The conclusion is obtained in the process of synthesis of the researched information. Explained statistics show that scientists, in particular, humanities dominated in the Ukrainian biobiblography of recent years. This is explained by the existence of existing relevant scientific centres and significant surge in national humanities, as well as the need for experience confirmation of scientific results in the natural sciences, which is complicated in modern domestic socio-economic conditions. Therefore, most bibliographic indexes are devoted to general and local historians. Another predominant group is the writers who are also related to the humanities in the context of philology, as well as to the noticeable development of Ukrainian literature, although most indexes are refered to little-known and regional writers. But, despite the quantitative advantage, the winners, according to the results of the «Biographical Rating», were also selected indexes for the composer, priest and teacher. The main centres that produce the best personal indexes are the university libraries, which are associated with the departments and scientific «schools» and priority areas of research. The gender ratio remains the same as in previous historical stages - women's bibliographic indexes are in minority.

Article is devoted to the jubilee of V.V. Chirkovsky, who headed the Department of Ophthalmology of the Kazan University from 1922 to 1929, and was a rector of the University from 1923 to 1925. He was also the director of the wWorld’s first Trachoma Research Institute named after E.V. Adamyuk (Kazan). The article outlines his outstanding organizational skills, resulting in creating ophthalmologic departments and scientific schools of ophthalmology in Tomsk, Irkutsk, Perm, Kazan and Leningrad (Saint Peterburg). During his work in Kazan, V.V. Chirkovsky was elected as a rector of the Kazan University, in this position he served until 1925. He led the university during a harsh period: the country experienced economic collapse, university professors led a beggarly life, but he managed to preserve the two most important faculties of the university - medical and physic-mathematical, and to keep the professors of the university. The creation of Trachoma Research Institute allowed not only to strengthen the fight against trachoma in Tatarstan, but also to completely eliminate it in our and neighboring regions (Republic of Mari El, Bashkortostan, Udmurtia, etc.). In 1929 professor V.V. Chirkovsky moved to Leningrad, where he headed the Department of Ophthalmology of the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute and headed the Leningrad Research Institute of Ophthalmology named after Girschman until 1952. During his active life, professor V.V. Chirkovsky authored about 100 scientific papers on various aspects of ophthalmology. His main publications were related to the study of trachoma, the disease that he has defeated.

The article deals with the identification of terms that define the style of the Main Building of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in domestic and foreign scientific literature, for their further use in the search for architectural analogues for the purposes of landscape design. Since the development of classics in architecture is characterized by heterogeneity in different countries and at different times, the study is based on an analysis of the periodization systems of development of the classical style adopted within domestic and foreign scientific schools. At the first stage, the article describes the domestic scientific system of periodization and shows that a simple chronological definition of the style of the Red Building does not provide the correct result. Therefore, an analysis was made with a comparison of the architectural image of the main building of the University and other classical buildings for which the style is precisely identified. Such an approach made it possible to establish the belonging of the Red Building to the number of architectural objects, the style of which corresponds to strict classicism. At the second stage, the domestic periodization system is compared with its Western counterparts. This allowed us to identify a group of terms used in foreign scientific schools, in particular in Germany and England, for identifying structures with stylistic signs of strict classicism. Thereafter it was analyzed the similarities and fundamental differences in the names of the period of development of foreign classical architecture, corresponding to strict classicism in the domestic architecture. There was demonstrated both the similarity of the terms of the national school with the terms used to refer to strict classicism in Germany and terminological differences in the domestic and English-language literature. In addition it was considered several foreign analogs of the term "strict classicism", which have received wide scientific scattering, but not included in the generally accepted periodization systems of the development of classical architecture .

The problem of preserving knowledge in the digital space arose in the middle of the last century and is gradually aggravated with the increase in the flow of digital information. The scientific community is faced with new challenges related to the speed of dissemination of information and scientific ideas. Classical scientific schools, which were the basis of university education, have undergone changes in connection with distance learning and the idea of openness of science as part of the common values of society. Against the background of increasing information noise, the search for reliable data is becoming an independent activity. The period of accumulation of digitized information is being replaced by the accumulation of knowledge in an integrated form, in the form of structured data. However, the increase in the number of information resources does not improve the quality of the information provided. One of the tasks of the scientific community is to provide an expert assessment of the accumulated digital knowledge. This assessment should be based on the authority of scientific schools. The paper discusses the problem of supporting information images of traditional scientific schools and their development in the digital space. On the example of the integration of mathematical knowledge, the tasks and ways of their solution in the process of assessing and preserving digitized knowledge are formulated. A variant of specialized author indexes and thesauri of mathematical schools is proposed. The content of the digital library LibMeta and the Russian Mathematical Encyclopedia edited by I.M. Vinogradov.

The article deals with the methodological problems of the correlation between the theory and the history of macroeconomics in the training courses for economics students. The author comes to the conclusion that the unity of historical and logical in the curricula of the Macroeconomics course is realized on the basis of the principle of continuity of scientific ideas and hypotheses, consistently developed by different scientific schools. The hypotheses that unite all modern scientific schools of macroeconomics include the role of expectations of economic agents in explaining the processes of macroeconomic dynamics, the rationale for the use of rules in conducting macroeconomic policies, the relationship between economic growth and economic fluctuations.
