S.E. Nikitina. The formation of the rural Russian population of Yakutia in the communicative space of the Russian state in the Peter’s I epoch // Petersburg historical journal, no. 1, 2023, pp.

Abstract:
The period under review is interesting for the most important large-scale transformations that determined all the further development of the Russian Empire, including remote areas of Siberia and the Far East. By the Peter I Decrees from 1708 and 1719, the administrative registration of the Tobolsk, from 1724 of the Irkutsk Province of the Siberian Province as the Yakut District (1638–1775) took place in the field of management. In the era of Peter I areas of Russian settlement began to take shape around prisons and winter hut of pioneers which consolidated the structure of the Russian state in the northeast. The subsequent formation of boundaries class among the Russian population of Siberia was predetermined by the most important Decrees of Peter I on the poll tax, according to which Siberian peasants were defined as state, state-owned, peasants free from serfdom. In Yakutsk District the Russian population outside Yakutsk not classified as nobility and clergy was a rural peasantry of industrial people (from the word “crafts” to “soft junk” and mammoth bone) and “landed on arable land”. The tasks of creating a transport infrastructure for the outskirt led to the construction of the Irkutsk — Yakutsk tract and the settlement of Russian yamsky peasants there. Peter’s reform created a separate Yakut cossack regiment of 1500 people of the service population. Composed at the beginning of the 18th century a small stratum in the population of the Yakut district, Russian population played a significant role in the development and consolidation of Russian statehood in the “new lands” which was reflected in various forms of the communicative space of the studied period. 

Key words:
Reforms of Peter I, Yakut Uyezd (District), Russian population in Yakutia, communicative space, written sources, Russian settlement in the northeast in the 18th century, D. Laptev’s expedition.

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. 

PHJ No 1 (37) 2023 – G.N.Ivanov. The Treaty of Nystad in the history of Sweden and Swedish historiography

In Russian scientific literature the signature of the Treaty of Nystad is seen as a milestone event. A great number of scholarly works focused on the significance of the Treaty of Nystad to Russia and its place in Russian history. However, such approach overlooks the views of Swedish society on its significance and subsequent reflection of the Treaty of Nystad in the history of the country. The present work is intended to fill this gap and reveal whether the Treaty of Nystad is perceived as a significant event in the history of Sweden.
