The purpose of the study is to reveal the Kazakh-Siberian periods in the fate of the Russian writer, their reflection in the letters and works of art by F.M. Dostoevsky. In the year of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Russian writer, we cannot talk about the complete study of the indicated periods of the life of the prose writer, which, of course, to one degree or another, were reflected in his prose. This determines the degree of novelty of this article. Dostoevsky is dear to Kazakhstan. He not only served his exile, but also found a friend here, sincere and quivering - the historian, orientalist, ethnographer Ch. Valikhanov. The stories Uncle's Dream and The Village of Stepanchikovo and Its Inhabitant, the first chapters of Notes from the Dead House were written in Semipalatinsk. The story The village of Stepanchikovo and its inhabitants (1857-1859) has the author's clarification: From the notes of the unknown. Many works of fiction in world literature are the result of travel notes, diaries. Undoubtedly, the restoration of the history of the Kazakh-Siberian period of the life and work of F.M. Dostoevsky is of great value, because the greatest Russian writer experienced spiritual revival there, in Kazahstan. The works of F.M. Dostoevsky were included in the literature program of secondary schools in Kazakhstan, translated into Kazakh ( The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov translated by N. Syzdykov). Dostoevsky scholars of Kazakhstan in the XXI century continue to study the writers works.

History of study of the andrenid bees (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) fauna of Mongolia

A critical review of publications on bees of the family Andrenidae (Hymenoptera, Anthophila) of Mongolia is carried out for the first time. A complete list of 45 species recorded from Mongolia by various authors is provided. Totally six species (Andrena – 4, Panurginus –2) have been described from Mongolia and all of them are valid now. According to current data, Mongolian Andrenidae includes 38 species from three genera (Andrena – 32, Panurginus – 5, Melitturga – 1). Records of 15 species of the genus Andrena are problematic and needs to be confirmed.

THE BRIEF SURVEY OF EVOLUTION OF THE RUSSIAN STUDY OF TALES. THE REPRESENTATION OF HERMENEUTICS OF FABULOUS PARADIGMS IN THE CREATIVE WORKS OF A. PUSHKIN

The history of study of the Russian literary tales is set out in writing as emergence of tendencies or existence of different schools and their representatives. Every epoch, trend and certain scientists advanced the new ideas carried on by other experts in the process of further development of science. Therefore, the description of the history of study of tales corresponds to the description of evolution of this scientific branch according to some tendencies demonstrating and concentrating certain issues. The study of the literary tales is asserted to be closely associated with the history of the country and the ways of reflection of people’s self-consciousness. The public, literary and scientific interest in the tales came into existence as far back as the XVIII-th c., went through the period of astounding growth in the XIX-th c., the decline in the first half and the renaissance in the second half of the XX-th c. The stable attention to tales is paid at the turn of the XXI-st century. Scientists persistently searched a platform for the systematization of tales, examined the peculiarities of this genre – its main features, characteristics, definitions – in order to distinguish tales from other genres. Both a form of a tale and its content – with the prospective morals – were carefully analysed. The form and the content (or the idea) either were separated or opposed till the scientists came to the brilliant thought of their unity as the form represented a shell in which an idea or a world-view found their expression. A great Russian scientist A. Veselovskiy insisted on the necessity of creating morphology of tales, later this task was performed by the other famous Russian researcher V. Propp. V. Propp did not fix the separate features in poetics of tales but he focused on their structure and composition as a whole. Also, the relation of constant, invariable elements of tales to changeable, variable elements was gradually studied and defined. The modern scientific views are based on the thought that the essence of literary tales as the phenomenon of spiritual culture is likely to be expanded in the process of studying the origin, the development, the interpretation of tales and exceeding the limits of the genre. In the present article the point of view is illustrated that the history of tales is so complex and their study is so difficult that they can hardly ever be kept within the definite bounds. The fairy tales of A. Pushkin have the peculiar attractiveness because they bear the stamp of genius of their creator. The present research in hermeneutics of the Russian literary tales is based on the tales by A. Pushkin as the most capacious hermeneutical paradigms. It should be noted that for the first time an attempt to reveal and interpret their hidden, inherent meanings has been made on the basis of hermeneutics of the works of art.

Fifteen new Andrena species from little-visited arid, Mediterranean, and mountainous parts of the Old World (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)

Andrena is the second most speciose genus of bees, with around 1,500 species known globally. It is predominantly distributed through the Holarctic with severely limited diversity in other biogeographical regions, and with the greatest species richness in arid and Mediterranean areas. Despite a long history of study, many species remain undescribed. As part of an ongoing revision of undetermined Old World material, many new species have been discovered in museum collections. Andrena (Micrandrena) atlantea spec. nov. from Morocco, Andrena (Carandrena) hoggara spec. nov. from Algeria, Andrena (Aciandrena) plumbea spec. nov., Andrena (Carandrena) inflata spec. nov., Andrena (Chrysandrena) rubricorpora spec. nov., Andrena (Orandrena) densissima spec. nov. from Tunisia, Andrena (?Aciandrena) badiyah spec. nov., Andrena (Micrandrena) convexifrons spec. nov. from Jordan, Andrena (?Aciandrena) palmyriae spec. nov., Andrena (Graecandrena) virguladivina spec. nov., Andrena (Suandrena) inaquosa spec. nov., Andrena (Truncandrena) syriensis spec. nov. from Syria, Andrena karia spec. nov. (incertae sedis) from Turkey, and Andrena (Pallandrena) persica spec. nov. and Andrena (Pallandrena) zagrosa spec. nov. from Iran are described. The description of these 15 new species confirms the extent to which our understanding of this genus remains incomplete in the arid, Mediterranean, and mountainous parts of the Old World.
