HSE Economists Use Search Queries to Forecast Birth Rates
Researchers from the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences have shown that the accuracy of birth rate forecasts for Russia can be improved by almost 50% by incorporating the dynamics of online search queries related to pregnancy and childbirth into forecasting models. In the best-performing models, the forecasting error fell from 4.6% to 3.2%. The findings have been published in Populations and Economics.

HSE Researchers Discover Who Eats Out in Russia-And Why
Around one-third of Russians (31.3%) rarely eat out or buy ready-made meals. The core group of active consumers—those who eat out or purchase prepared food almost every day or several times a week—accounts for only about 9% of the population. These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Translation of Hebrew tenses in the Greek Psalter: choosing between past, present, and future

Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies (JSCS). 2024. Vol. 57. P. 73–93.
Seleznev M.

In the LXX-Psalter, in about 80% of cases, the choice between past, present, and future/non-indicative (in the present paper we consider future tense and non-indicative moods together) was predetermined by the tenses of the original. As for the remaining 20%, some of these “abnormal” renderings can be explained as inheriting the tense value from the preceding context, and some by the translator’s attempt to take into account the meaning of the text. The study of the translator’s attempts to take into account the meaning of the text reveals certain discursive and narrative patterns governing his choice of tenses and casts doubts on other patterns that are sometimes ascribed to him.

Abstract. This article explores the semantic and cognitive mechanisms governing the functioning of the lexeme “irreversibility” (Unumkehrbarkeit) within contemporary German media discourse covering the crisis in German-Russian relations. The study tests the hypothesis that the use of irreversibility semantics in the mass media serves as a rhetorical strategy intended to reinforce the perception of ongoing ...

Об одном из путей грамматикализации страдательных причастий прошедшего времени в славянских языках (на материале польского и русского языков)
Ermolova M., Вопросы языкознания 2026 № 4 С. 73–85
В статье сопоставляются процессы эволюции страдательного причастия прошедшего времени (СППВ) в неопределенно-личную финитную форму прошедшего времени в польском и старорусском языках. Рассматриваются типы контекстов СППВ, зафиксированные в истории русского языка, и типы польских употреблений с СППВ, которые связаны с формированием неопределенно-личной формы на -no/-to. В результате анализа материала обоих языков можно сделать вывод о том, ...

Испанский стыд и производство нормы: К аффективной теории социального порядка.
Khestanov R., Логос 2026 Т. 36 № 3 С. 1–19
The article proposes an affective theory of social order, taking as its starting point the phenomenon of "Spanish shame" (ispanski styd) – the vicarious embarrassment experienced by a bystander witnessing another person's social failure.

There is a scene in Pindar’s Pythian 9 that attracts much attention of scholars, not only because the erotic theme in general is unusual for Pindar, but also because in this scene neither the question that Apollo addresses Chiron, nor the answer that Chiron gives him, can be unambiguously interpreted. Does Apollo intend to commit open violence against Cyrene, or ...

LANGUAGE POLICY IN MULTIETHNIC COUNTRIES
-, 2026.
The papers in this thematic volume demonstrate that language policy in the post-Soviet space and elsewhere reveals a fundamental tension that mirrors global shifts: the conflict between state efforts to manage national identity and the organic reality of human communication. While regional nationalization efforts often demonstrate global patterns of securitization, the actual practices of speakers tell a different story. Language policy ...

It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words. In contrast to the hypothesis of a direct influence of the early forms of Targumim on the LXX, I believe that these versions rather reflect a common approach to the interpretation of biblical texts, as ...

Discussing the variants חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 and משברי־מות in 2 Sam 22,5 I join Talmon in considering them not transmission errors, but synonymous readings. However, I demonstrate that the equating of these two terms as both denoting “birth pangs” is not attested in the Hebrew Bible but is a later exegetical development. I argue ...
