When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

Of pilgrims and poets, prisoners and politics: the story of Egyptology in Russia

P. 129–145.
Loktionov A.

This chapter presents a survey of a thousand years of Russian interest in Egypt, from the world of the Kievan Rus’ to the Russian Federation. At its simplest level, it can be divided into medieval, pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet phases, mixed in with periods of considerable turbulence. As well as providing a chronological account of events, this chapter seeks to emphasise the intertwined destinies of Russian politics and Russian Egyptology, and the often disparate paths of Russian and Western scholarship. As will be shown, the history of Russian Egyptology is exceptionally rich – but it has all too often remained exclusive to Russians. This chapter aims to go some way towards addressing this problem.
