A. M. Vvedenskii. Chronicler of the Trinity Collection no. 805 until the beginning
of the 13th century: sources and characteristics of the chronicler’s work // Petersburg historical journal, no. 1, 2023, pp. 7–20

Abstract:
The article analyzes the sources of the unpublished chronicle collection of the Trinity Collection no. 805, which is in the storage of the RSL. Two sources are identified — the main and additional. The sources are scrutinized from the beginning of the dated narrative to the chronicle article of 1209 (additional) and to the article of 1223 (main). The main source of the studied manuscript up to the article of 1223 was the copy of the Short Novgorod Chronicler in the edition, which was also reflected in the Chronicle of Abraham and in the Rogozhsky Chronicler. An additional source was some copy of the Novgorod Fourth Chronicle, but not the Golitsyn one, as was supposed in historiography earlier. As a result of the analysis, the initial hypothesis that the compiler of the chronicle collection of the Trinity Assembly no. 805 used the text of the Ipatiev Chronicle as an additional source was put aside. However, in the report about the calling of the Varangians, the compiler of the chronicle collection used a source that contained a text close to the Ipatiev Chronicle. The article shows that the compiler of the chronicle collection did not use an additional source in the area from 1036 to 1198. The article also analyzes the nature of the work of the chronicler with his main and additional sources.

Key words:
Trinity Collection of the Russian State Library no. 805, Brief Novgorod Chronicle, Novgorod Fourth Chronicle, Chronicle of Abraham, Rogozhsky Chronicler, Golitsyn copy of the Novgorod Fourth Chronicle.

PHJ No 1 (37) 2023 – S.Andriainen. “The Vicissitudes of a tedious war”: the participation of the Russian Imperial Guard in the suppression of the Polish Uprising of 1830–1831

The article examines the combat work of the units of the Russian Imperial Guard during the Russo-Polish War of 1830–1831. The author considers it necessary to investigate the activities of the entire Guards Corps as a whole, and not only the combat successes of individual guard regiments. The author comes to the conclusion that the Polish War played a significant role in the development of the Russian Guard. After the end of the war, the entire guard was concentrated in St. Petersburg and its suburbs. The war with the Poles caused a patriotic upsurge among the officers of the Guard. This war helped Emperor Nicholas I to improve his relations with the units of the Guard.

The article studies the formation of a group of National Democrats in Primorye and the activities of its group in the parliament of the Priamursky state formation. In the winter of 1921, the government’s unwillingness to reckon with the leaders of the National Democratic faction led to a break in joint work. The National Democrats took the lead in the struggle against the government of S.D. Merkulov, but were defeated, which led to the termination of the activities of the National assembly.

PHJ No 1 (37) 2023 – Elena D.Tverdyukova. Westernization of consumer values in the USSR in the first postwar years (1945–1949)

The article analyzes the trends of Westernization of consumption in Soviet urban society at the end of the Great Patriotic War (1945–1949). The author argues that the campaign against bourgeois values began even before the official announcement of the policy of isolation from foreign culture and opposition to cosmopolitanism. The fight against Western consumerism was waged in an environment of total scarcity and the low quality of domestic production, so that the media themselves largely formed an aura of prestige around foreign consumer goods. This led to the formation of a new culture of consumption, with a characteristic Soviet citizens’ desire to buy goods of foreign rather than domestic production.

As long ago as 1945 the Allied Control Commission had authorised the Finnish side to carry out regular flights with several European countries. This raises the question why this permission was not followed by direct air traffic between Finland and the Soviet Union. It was only after N.S. Khrushchev’s visit to Scandinavia in 1964 that the Soviet side gave its consent for Aero to carry out flights to Leningrad. This article analyses the long-standing Soviet-Finnish negotiations on direct air links.
