Geopolitical aspects of prudery, or Stalin as the breeches maker: political censorship and puritan censorship in the USSR

2015

Due leggi recentemente discusse al parlamento russo, tese a punire le oscenità anche nelle opere letterarie e l'uso “ingiustificato” di parole straniere, sono un'occasione per indagare il rapporto tra censura politica e censura moralistica, di cui è ben nota l'importanza nel periodo stalinista e poststalinista, ma il cui legame è stato raramente considerato.Se per quanto riguarda la censura politica non resta molto da scoprire, lo straordinario moralismo del regime sovietico a partire dagli anni Trenta contiene elementi di contraddizione tanto con tensioni verso la liberazione dei costumi presenti nel discorso bolscevico del periodo precedente quanto con la retorica dell'”uomo nuovo” che si…

Lev Tolstoy's Appreciation of Charles Dickens?

2022

In Lev Tolstoy’s letters, memoirs and even literary works, mentions of Charles Dickens, his works and his influence on the Russian writer are found often enough to deserve a closer look. Of the Victorian writers Tolstoy read, Dickens was the most eminent, and his appreciation of the English author was permanent and unchangeable. Even in the period of his spiritual crisis, when he rejected most of his own works, some inspired by Dickens, he did not change his positive attitude towards his favourite English writer. Tolstoy read many of Dickens’s works, both in English and in Russian. He even managed to publish in his publishing house “Intermediary” Dickens’s Little Dorrit, Great Expectations,…

Maximum weight relaxed cliques and Russian Doll Search revisited

2015

Trukhanov et al. [Trukhanov S, Balasubramaniam C, Balasundaram B, Butenko S (2013) Algorithms for detecting optimal hereditary structures in graphs, with application to clique relaxations. Comp. Opt. and Appl., 56(1), 113–130] used the Russian Doll Search (RDS) principle to effectively find maximum hereditary structures in graphs. Prominent examples of such hereditary structures are cliques and some clique relaxations intensely discussed and studied in network analysis. The effectiveness of the tailored RDS by Trukhanov et al. for s-plex and s-defective clique can be attributed to their cleverly designed incremental verification procedures used to distinguish feasible from infeasible struct…

La colonizzazione del Sud-est ucraino: una questione etnica ucraino-russa nella lettura di Dmytro Bahalij

2022

The Ukrainian-Russian ethnic question in Southeastern Ukraine has gained critical importance during the war unleashed by Moscow against Ukraine in February 2022; in this paper I analyze the question of the Ukrainian-Cossack and Muscovy colonization of this very region. I focus on the work by the Ukrainian scholar Dmytro Bahalij (1857-1932), a former member of the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences. Bahalij emphasizes the key difference between the Ukrainian-Cossack popular colonization of the steppe region and the Moscow administration of these territories. The paper examines some of the main writings by Bahalij and reviews critical articles about his works.

Russia’s cultural policy abroad as a projection of the “Russian World”

The immigration of the Lesna Monastery nuns from the west side of Imperial Russia to other Russian Empire territories, to Serbia and to France is part of the Russian emigration history. The stay of the nuns of Lesna in the territory of the actual Republic of Macedonia, in the monastery of St. Bogorodica in Kicevo, is a less known event of the history of their migration.

Speed in cognitive tasks as an indicator of second/foreign language reading and writing skills

2013

In a cross-sectional study 823 Finnish school children were tested to examine the relation between speed of performance in cognitive and linguistic tasks and second/foreign language reading and writing. Participants were Finnish-speakers with English as foreign language and Russian-speakers with Finnish as second language which made it possible to compare the results across these two language groups. The Finnish group was furthermore divided into three groups by age to see how speed develops with age and education. Groups were tested with a number of cognitive instruments that included measures of speed of performance. Overall, performance on the speed measures improved with age; often, the…
