Folding of the American historical experience proceeded dramaticly, but brought important lessons for the development of all mankind. XXXIV International Conference of the Russian Society for the Study of American Culture, entitled "Display and interpretation of history in the culture of the United States", helped to analyze the dynamics of the processes associated with the perception of the history of North American cultural figures.

The authors examine a wide range of problems - from the ratification of the Constitution in 1787 in Massachusetts to the so-called American university novel.

Under the heading "America and Russia" a comparative analysis of the relationship of Russian and American to aborigines, examined the activities of the Soviet scientific, technical and industrial intelligence in the U.S. during the Second World War. Canadian themes represented by articles on the protection of fur seals in the Russian -Canadian relations at the turn of XIX-XX centuries. and the evolution of the Canada -Mexico bilateral relations.

The article examines translator's notes to fiction at large and epistolary works, in particular, as exemplified by Twenty Letters to a Friend by Josef Stalin's daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva. Written in Russian in 1963, the epistolary memoirs were translated into English and published in New York by Harper Row Publishers in 1967, thereby becoming accessible internationally for an 'alien' Anglophone culture. Rendering into English appeared to have washed out some emotive and attitudinal subtleties - meaningful but barely perceptible within 'alien' social, cultural and linguistic setting; specifically those which bore associations with Svetlana Alliluyeva's childhood and her family pet name Setanka. Such associative imagery would not routinely transmit between languages. Doing so necessitates translator's notes or comments treated throughout the paper as a special technique - translation escorting device.
In this article we are talking about the early development of the educational process in one of England's North American colonies. Pennsylvania attracted many immigrants from Europe by its religious freedom. Moving to a new land, Europeans from different countries brought their way of life, including various systems of education. Therefore, at the end of the beginning of the XVII-XVIII centuries there were several different types of schools. The national education system, which appeared only in the XIX century has absorbed much of the colonists created.

Women have been integral to the development of printing and journalism in North America since the earliest settlers landed in the New World . 26 women worked as printers during colonial period. The women printed in their printing officers not only newspapers, almanacs, pamphlets, broadsides, leaflets, but many blank forms. These included all types of legal documents used in the indenture of apprentices, the sale of slaves or real estate, drawing up of wills and letters of administration, ships' bills of lading, and so forth.
