Zara Mints was convinced that the function of culture is to retain memory. Today, as the criminal war that the current Russian regime has started against Ukraine overshadows our every thought and activity, the moral lessons of the cultural researcher Zara Mints have an especially valuable effect. She inspired faith in the integrity of truth and justice, love for freedom and security in the preservation of freedom that she herself demonstrated even in the most difficult years. |

In contemporary Udmurt culture, mythological worldview exists side by side with new, official holidays and redefined traditions. Folklore and festival movement based on the Udmurt village culture merits special attention. Material culture, incl. food, is seen as an economic resource one of the expressions of which are the food festivals. The contemporary Udmurt village participates actively in tourism. Current innovations are related to life strategies, everyday life, way of communication and private sphere. Changes in the Udmurt culture occur at such a pace that the researchers barely get to record and give meaning to them. |

袠蟹斜褉邪薪薪芯械 The book presents 鈥 for the first time in Russian 鈥 the creative works of famous Medieval Jewish poet Immanuel the Roman who lived in Italy at the end of the 13th century and at the beginning of the 14th century. His creation organically mixes the traditions of Hebrew, Ibero-Arabian and Italian culture and poetry. A contemporary of Dante, Immanuel the Roman laid the groundwork for the Hebrew sonnet which was also the first non-Italian sonnet. The author鈥檚 works include Medieval and Renaissance motifs. At the time, his erotic sonnets were seen as so frivolous that Rabi Joseph Karo wrote in his codex 鈥淪hulchan aruch鈥: 鈥淚t is forbidden to read poems of frivolous content and erotic use of words, such as in the book of Immanuel, on Saturdays and during the week.鈥 Regardless of that 鈥 or thanks to that 鈥 Immanuel鈥檚 creation became very popular, his works were in high demand and people bought them at exorbitant prices. According to the compiler and translator of the book, translating Immanuel鈥檚 texts was rather difficult as their form is very complex. 鈥淣evertheless, it was a funny and fascinating job. Immanuel amazed me with his virtuosity and with his ability to play in different style registers. In his poems, there is a tension between the joy of life and the tragic aspects of life, which is also characteristic of other medieval works of literature and the reason why we love the era.鈥 The main part of the book is made up of the creative heritage of Immanuel the Roman in Hebrew and Italian (the original presented in parallel to the translation), accompanied by thorough comments from the translator who has also written the foreword 鈥淧oetry of Immanuel the Roman: A Crossing Point of the West and the East鈥. The publication opens with an essay by Mikhail Lotman, 鈥淪onnet: a Sketch of History and Phenomenology鈥, and closes with an afterword by Semyon Yakerson, 鈥淔irst Printing of Mahbarot. Bibliological Essay鈥, and an appendix by Dvora Bregman, 鈥淐hapters from the Book: 鈥淕olden Journey: Hebrew Sonnet In the Era of Renaissance and Baroque鈥 鈥, translated by Alexandra Polyan. The creative works of Immanuel the Roman constitute a bright monument to an era and are more than worth reading also today. |

Juri Lotmani autoportreed. 袗胁褌芯锌芯褉褌褉械褌褘 挟. 袦. 袥芯褌屑邪薪邪. Juri Lotman鈥檚 Out of stock A trilingual and colourful book of self-portraits is a valuable addition to the legacy of this great scientist. Yuri Lotman was artistically talented and mastered a brilliant sketching technique; he knew how to convey the essence of things, animals, people with just a few lines. Often he drew himself, and this part of his artistic heritage is especially interesting culturally and in terms of his biography as a scientist: self-portrait is the expression of inner and outer at the same time, and reveals how the author views himself, what are the most intrinsic features of his character and behaviour. Yuri Lotman drew self-portraits often at random, on the edges of his research work, bibliographical sheets, calendar sheets etc. His self-portraits have been drawn in a humorous light, often using self-irony and expressing the author鈥檚 sense of humour. This makes the images especially charming. Illustrations differ by composition: there are quick portraits on the edges of texts, some have been outlined into the text, often accompanied by verbal comments, there are image series, stories within the images. Each drawing is accompanied by a short comment that contains necessary information for understanding the image: size, time of creation, location of the archival document, explanations on the content and the circumstances of its creation, if necessary. Comments have been written by Tatyana Kuzovkina. She has also written an epilogue for the drawings in cooperation with S. M. Daniel. As an important addition to Yuri Lotman鈥檚 legacy, primarily his biography, the book is trilingual: all comments and the epilogue are in Estonian, Russian and English. |

On the Problematics of Working with Unreliable Sources鈥 is a collection that includes a variety of material from the 4th Yuri Lotman Semiotic Conference at the University of Tallinn in 2012. This conference concentrated on problematics in the humanities relating to the criticism and analysis of the sources of scientific research. Developing the ideas of the Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics, the articles expand upon the possibilities of using counterfeit or deliberately misinforming sources in scientific research; cases, where it is difficult to understand, which text is the most 鈥渙riginal鈥 or authoritative; the problems of textological, philological, historical and cultural research. The book is divided into four sub-parts. The first part includes essays studying the linguistic and cultural aspects of the terms 鈥渞ight/wrong鈥 on a theoretical level. In addition, the conference thesis from Juri Lotman鈥檚 personal archive 鈥淥n the Inevitability of Untrue Utterances鈥 is published for the first time and promoted in an accompanying commentary by Tatyana Kuzovkina. The articles in the second part discuss the source treatment at the Tartu-Moscow School and the culturo-historical problems that relate to it. The articles in the third part analyse cases where unreliability is a part of the author鈥檚 strategy, for example, artistic manipulations with the (non) authenticity of sources, fictional biographies and histories. The fourth part concentrates on the phenomenon of lying in different cultural and political discourses. |

By finding additional data from the language system, the current linguistic theory focuses on the functioning of the language instruments, and the semantics and pragmatics 鈥 cognitive processes 鈥 of using them. Thus it becomes possible to interpret the content and meaning of language units. The named aspects form the basis of language studies, developing the skills of understanding fluent speech and building it. The first part of the book is dedicated to the linguistic description of the Russian language; the second part disserts the problems of teaching Russian. The concepts of Russian culture, which are attainable through linguistic research and allow teaching the understanding of Russian culture, reflect in the aforementioned aspects. This is especially relevant in the light of current social situation: A 21st century globalised multicultural community, where the Russian language and teaching it have a clear position. The book is comprised of articles by Estonian, Russian, Finnish, Czech, Polish and Bulgarian researchers. |

This collection presents the materials of the conference, which was devoted to the concepts of 鈥渃hance鈥, 鈥渦npredictability鈥, 鈥減robability鈥, and 鈥渃oincidence鈥. The book consists of three sections. The first section includes the papers that discuss cultural-historical problems in terms of such terminological opposition as 鈥渘ecessity vs. chance鈥, 鈥減redictable vs. unpredictable鈥, and 鈥渄eterministic vs. stochastic鈥. The second section is devoted to the problems of indeterminism in Russian cultural history as they are reflected in Russian poetic, novelistic, cinematic and political discourses and narratives. The articles in the third section discuss cultural and political aspects of contemporary history of Central and Eastern Europe, and, in particular, J. Lotman鈥檚 communication with the Estonian academic and social milieu. |

The articles in this collection ("袣褍谢褜褌褍褉邪 褉褍褋褋泻芯泄 写懈邪褋锌芯褉褘: 褝屑懈谐褉邪褑懈褟 懈 屑懈褎褘")aim to reconstruct Russian exile culture in all its layers and diversity. Specific examples and facts are used to outline and open the mechanisms which, in essence, are mythological and which created the mysterious "Russian Atlantis" of the 20th century. Paradoxically, it is this aspect of researching myths pertaining to exile that makes it possible to expose the reality of the historical archipelago in which the Russian-European culture existed during the 20th century. |

The book is devoted to the poetics of Osip Mandelstam and Anna Ahmatova, leading figures of Russian akmeism in which their most important semantic mechanisms are outlined. Mandelstam and Ahmatova both share the compression of meaning, but their works also exhibit principal differences, e.g. Ahmatova often tries to encipher personal information whereas Mandelstam endeavours to put as much world culture as possible into a short poem. |
