Maailmansotien vaikutus vallankumouksiin Venäjällä, Suomessa, Espanjassa ja Kiinassa
2014
Vallankumouksia ja sisällissotia on tutkittu ahkerasti eri tieteenalojen piirissä, mutta tutkimus on harvemmin ollut aidosti poikkitieteellistä. Vertailevan sosiologian ja historian tutkimuksen kautta saadaan uudenlainen kuva siitä, miksi kahdessa keskeisessä 1900-luvun ensimmäisen puoliskon vallankumouksessa - Venäjällä ja Kiinassa - sosialistit/kommunistit voittivat ja miksi kahdessa muussa - Suomessa ja Espanjassa - kommunistit hävisivät. peerReviewed
Osnovnye napravleniâ teolingvističeskih issledovanij v polʹskom i russkom âzykoznanii
2016
The links between the Polish and Russian linguistics are not only history but also a present fact. Theolinguistics’ development and research in the field of modern comparative linguistics led to the fact tliat at the turn of 20th -21th centuries, scientists bcgan to pay attention to the emerging problems of comparative Polish and Russian theolinguistics. A valuable contribution to the flourishing of Slavonic theolinguistics was made by the Polish researchers, who got not only accepted by the western researchers of English Theolinguistics, but also enriched it with new content, thereby giving a new start to the development of Slavonic theolinguistics.

Speech technology as an experimental science: towards the comparative dynamics of Sprechkunde in Germany and Russia in the late nineteenth to early t…
2016
The article examines various resonances of the “speech technology” (Sprechkunde) current in German and Russian-Soviet context of 1900–1920s. It contains first of all a brief history of the techniques of speech in Germany, an inquiry into some psychophysical sources of the “speech technology” and a survey of the contribution of German “new rhetoric” to this movement. The Russian counterparts of this trend include the Institute of the Living Word (Institut živogo slova, 1918–1923), some Russian formalists, the scenic speech specialists and the theatre pedagogues. The conclusion summarises the historical significance of “speech technology” and its common features in Germany and Russia. It turn…
Indigenous education in Russia : opportunities for healing and revival of the Mari and Karelian Indigenous groups?
2020
Despite being a multicultural country throughout its history, the Russian Federation has long struggled to embrace its diversity. As a result, the country’s many cultural, religious, and ethnic minority groups have been going through waves of assimilationist policies and practices. Assimilation into the Russian society enforced through formal schooling, daily life, and mass media has led to a destruction of Indigenous lifestyles, cultures, identities, and languages. This article explores the views of Russia’s Indigenous people regarding the country’s education system and its ability to support the cultural revival of Indigenous groups as well as the healing of the trauma that emerged from h…
Mismatch negativity (MMN) elicited by changes in phoneme length: A cross-linguistic study
2006
Speech sounds representing different phonetic categories are typically easier to discriminate than sounds belonging to the same category. This phenomenon is referred to as the phoneme boundary effect. We aimed to determine whether, at neural level, this effect is indeed due to crossing the phoneme boundary. The mismatch negativity (MMN) brain response was measured for across- and within-category changes in Finnish phoneme length in native speakers and second-language users of Finnish as well as non-Finnish-speaking subjects. The results showed that the MMN amplitude was enhanced in the native speakers in comparison with the two non-native groups which, in turn, did not differ from each othe…
“Throwing into the Whirlwind Vortex”: Unaccounted Memoirs about Blok by S. Korenev
2021
The article examines certain plots of the “Blok theme” in the 1920s Riga periodicals, which had not previously attracted the attention of researchers. The Russian press of independent Latvia (1919 –1940) has preserved many tens, if not hundreds, of articles, correspondences, documents, poetic texts dedicated to A.A. Blok’s personality and works. Among them are memoirs of people who were familiar with the poet, met with him, listened to his speeches. However, most of these scattered memoirs remain forgotten and are not taken into account in the Blok studies. The author recalls the texts of V.V. Tretyakov, A.M. Perfiliev and republishes from the Riga newspaper “Slovo” a memorial article about…
"Czytano je z zajęciem, a często ze wzruszeniem" : o zapomnianych powieściach Hanny Krzemienieckiej
2019
Janina née Bobińska Furs-Żyrkiewiczowa (1866–1930) is a forgotten author of works documenting the life of the Polish landed gentry and the intelligentsia in Russian Ukraine at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Her three novels – Fatum. Studium psychologiczne (1904). A gdy odejdzie w przepaść wieczną… Romans zagrobowy (1906), Lecą wichry!( 1921) – in an interesting way they combine conventions of moral realism, decadent and lyrical atmosphere of modernism and the traditions of the “Ukrainian school” of Polish Romantic poetry (the writer was related to B. Zaleski). The prose of Krzemieniecka, the wife of a Pole and a high-ranking Russian officer, contains many autobiographical themes a…
Notes on Shore Flies (Diptera: Ephydridae) from Finland and north-western Russia
2015
The recent checklist of the Ephydridae of Finland by Zatwarnicki and Kahanpää (2014) mentioned 13 ephydrid species as new for Finland without further details. This paper presents detailed records for those species and a few other species of interest. Four species are recorded for the first time from Russia. Trimerina indistincta Krivosheina, 2004 is herein considered as a new junior synonym of Trimerina microchaeta Hendel, 1932, syn. nov.
Distinctive Lexical Patterns in Russian Patient Information Leaflets: A Corpus-Driven Study
2019
This methodologically-oriented corpus-driven study focuses on distinctive patterns of language use in a specialized text type, namely Russian patient information leaflets. The study’s main goal is to identify keywords and recurrent sequences of words that account for the leaflets’ formulaicity, and - as a secondary goal - to describe their discoursal functions. The keywords were identified using three methods (G2, Hedges’ g and Neozeta) and the overlap between the three metrics was explored. The overlapping keywords were qualitatively analyzed in terms of discoursal functions. As for the distinctive multi-word patterns, we focused on recurrent n-grams with the largest coverage in the corpus…
Finland’s great depression of the 1990s: Lessons about financial reform based on econometric macro evidence
2020
The paper re‐examines the Finnish Great Depression of the 1990s, based on an open macro model, with specific dummy variables to identify the initial effects of liberalized financial markets and capital mobility, and of the Russian trade collapse. It is shown that the explosive credit expansion resulting from the simultaneous liberalization of the financial markets and international capital movements in 1986 has played the most important role in explaining the uncontrolled growth and the subsequent depression in 1989 in real economic activity in Finland. Their effects were strengthened by a vicious circle between the financial and asset markets. The Russian trade collapse in 1991 had a small…
