‘In the Age of Technology, It Is Interesting to Look into the Past and Think about What We Can Take from It
Polina Tabakova decided to apply for a Philology degree at HSE in Nizhny Novgorod because she grew up in Mari El and did not want to move far away from the Russian forests. In an interview for the Young Scientists of HSE University project, she spoke about the genre of the campus novel, the existential drama of Kolobok, and a blackout version of Eugene Onegin.

HSE Scientists Develop Method to Compress Large Language Models Without Losing Quality
Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new compression method for large language models such as GPT and LLaMA that reduces their size by 25–36% without additional training or significant loss of accuracy. This is the first approach to use mathematical transformations—specifically, rotations of model weights—to make models more amenable to compression with structured matrices. The study results have been published in ACL Findings 2025. The code is available on GitHub.

East Syrian Polemic against Jews and Judaism during the Early Islamic Period: Two Unpublished Testimonies

Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenlandischen Gesellschaft. 2024. Vol. 174. No. 1. P. 97–115.
Minov S.

The article presents the first edition, translation, and discussion of the surviving fragments of a Syriac anti-Jewish polemic from previously unknown compositions by two East Syrian authors: catholicos Ḥenanīšōʿ (ca. 7th or 8th century) and an anonymous writer from the 9th century. In these excerpts, both polemicists defend Christian doctrine by appealing to a supersessionist theology. The newly published fragments offer valuable insights into an emerging repertoire of anti-Jewish polemical arguments among Syriac Christians during the early Islamic period.

Avant-Garde Poetry and the Tékhnē of Traditional Versification
Kazartsev (Evgenii Kazartcev) E., Kirichenko N., Arts 2026 Vol. 15 No. 5 Article 97
This article offers a theoretically nuanced and empirically grounded investigation into the paradoxical afterlife of classical versification within the poetic practices of the Russian and Soviet avant-garde. Challenging the persistent historiographic narrative that equates avant-garde poetics with an unequivocal rupture from tradition, the study demonstrates that canonical metrical forms—most notably iambic tetrameter—continued to operate as ...

Rank‑Turbulence Delta and interpretable approaches to stylometric Delta measures
Evgeny Kazartsev, Dmitry Pronin, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities 2026 P. 1–15
This article repositions Burrows’s Delta as a flexible family of distance measures for exploratory and unsupervised stylometry, where interpretability and stability are as important as predictive accuracy. We introduce two probabilistic extensions, Rank-Turbulence Delta and Jensen–Shannon Delta, by reinterpreting uncentred standardized word-frequency vectors as non-negative representations that can be normalized into probability distributions and compared ...
