This paper discusses the legacy of Nikolai Antsiferov (1889–1958), a Russian historian who suggested a unique approach to urban studies in which literature played the key role. In the first section of this paper, the genesis of Antsiferov‘s conceptions of the study of urban history and the image of the city are outlined. The second section provides an analysis of his ideas on the literary image of St. Petersburg and the theory of literary-themed guided tours, which were articulated in his works of the 1920s. The finalsection of the article sheds light on the reception and legacy of Antsiferov‘s intellectual ideas in the modern humanities and assesses its significance in the modern context of interdisciplinarity.

After the crisis which started in 2007, after four and a half years, the world economy is far from recovery. The current situation in the world economy is not very definite. The United States faced a serious decline, the debt problems of the European economy, the IMF lowered the forecast of growth of the world economy, is extremely slow pace of the recovery of major economies, the preservation of the risk of slower growth the Chinese economy due to external (the contraction of aggregate demand in the world) and internal (the acceleration of inflation and limitation of the Bank credit) factors. The most visible and the most discussed event for Russians is accession to the WTO ( August 22, 2012). in this event there are positive and negative points. Negative - for weak industries, which did nothing to improve their competitiveness. Some of the industries gradually withdraw from the market. As to positive consequences is that foreign companies will come on the market and will be gradually forcing Russian companies to increase competitiveness. But Russian;s participation in the WTO system will work not immediately, but only when there will be introduced serious measures to support not commodity exporters, increase expenditure on science, education, and health care. The proceedings of the conference are considering of these issues.
Institutions affect investment decisions, including investments in human capital. Hence institutions are relevant for the allocation of talent. Good market-supporting institutions attract talent to productive value-creating activities, whereas poor ones raise the appeal of rent-seeking. We propose a theoretical model that predicts that more talented individuals are particularly sensitive in their career choices to the quality of institutions, and test these predictions on a sample of around 95 countries of the world. We find a strong positive association between the quality of institutions and graduation of college and university students in science, and an even stronger negative correlation with graduation in law. Our findings are robust to various specifications of empirical models, including smaller samples of former colonies and transition countries. The quality of human capital makes the distinction between educational choices under strong and weak institutions particularly sharp. We show that the allocation of talent is an important link between institutions and growth.
