Speransky, which refers to the period of the reformer’s arrival from Siberia to St. Petersburg and is a valuable source of information not only about the complex process of his return to big politics, but also about the most important domestic and foreign policy problems of the last period of the reign of Alexander I. Diary of the greatest statesman of the 19th century allows you to expand and, possibly, to some extent change the ideas that have developed in historiography, both about the role and place of M. M. Speransky in public life in the early 1820s, and about the activities of the administrative apparatus of that time.

For Russian historical science, the western provinces of Russia still remain a topic in many ways. It will require many years of efforts by a large number of researchers whose will have extensive work to identify new arrays of sources, assimilate new research approaches and develop new concepts in it study. The idea that the Western Edge of the Russian Empire was one of the most problematic for the policy of the imperial center has a long history. Historiographical schools and traditions of studying this region began to form in the XIX century In Russia, having been developed after the Polish rebellion of 1863-1864.

PHJ № 2 (34) 2022 — I. B. Vishnya. MINIATURES OF THE LIFE OF NICHOLA AND THE FACIAL CHRONICLE VAULT: FOUR ICONOGRAPHIC MANNERS

The historiography of the question of the proximity of the iconographic manners of the miniatures of the Life of Nichola and the Facial Chronicle Vault has remained open until now. Using a new method, which we call “handwriting” and analyzing in detail all the difficult moments, taking into account the mistakes that have accumulated in the past, we came to the conclusion about four iconographic manners that are present in both manuscripts. However, the presence in the Life of Nichola at the very beginning of 124 miniatures, similar in manner to the miniatures of the Chudov Monastery Vault, indicates the fact that the manuscript may have been worked on in two different scriptoriums. They started in one, and after a while, the manuscript ended with the masters of the Facial Chronicle Vault.

PHJ № 2 (34) 2022 — Z. A. Ismailova. POSTHUMOUS CHRONICLE PRAISE OF THE RULER AS A HISTORICAL SOURCE

This article is devoted to the study of such a separate historical and literary genre as the chronicle praise of the ruler. During the 11th–16th centuries, chronicle praise was a very common technique of medieval scribes. Comparing the praises of different Russian Chronicles and different historical periods, the author proves that the chronicle praise of the ruler grew out of a brief posthumous description of him, reflected the chronicler’s good knowledge, his likes and dislikes, and in the 12th century acquired a ready-made form — a literary form. Early praises (11th–13th centuries) correctly reflected historical reality, contained individual traits of the ruler, changed depending on historical conditions, which increases their value as a historical source. It was also found out that there were two main forms of praise — southern and northern. The difference between them is that southern praise was secular, while northern praise was ecclesiastical; southern praise was limited to local interests, and northern praise had a world-historical scale. In general, praise can be considered as a separate chronicle of the medieval genre, characterized by special plot and stylistic features.

PHJ № 2 (34) 2022 — A. I. Prokofiev. CELEBRATION OF THE 300TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PEREYASLAV RADA IN 1954: DISCOURSES OF HISTORICAL MEMORY ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRTEEN YEARS WAR 1654–1667

In 1954, the USSR celebrated the 300th anniversary of the Pereyaslav Rada on the occasion of the declared allegiance of the Zaporozhian Army to the Moscow state. The anniversary was given great importance not only in the artistical, but also in the scientific life of Soviet society. Cinema, painting, literature, history, pedagogy — everything seemed to serve the cause of uniting the Russian and Ukrainian peoples. Did the concept of “reunification of Ukraine with Russia” exist before 1954 in the Soviet historical language, or was a new tradition emerging before our eyes? Which discourses did Soviet historians present when speaking about the Rada and the beginning of the war between the Moscow state and the Commonwealth in 1654–1667? The purpose of this study is to consider the language of describing the historical process in the scientific and artistical space.
