The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

‘All My Time Is Devoted to My Dissertation
Ilya Venediktov graduated from the Master’s programme at the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics through the combined Master’s–PhD track and is currently studying at the HSE Doctoral School of Engineering Sciences. At present, he is undertaking a long-term research internship at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, where he is preparing his dissertation. In this interview, he explains how an internship differs from an academic mobility programme, discusses his research topic, and describes the daily life of a Russian doctoral student in China.

Juxtapositional vs. possessive-like encoding in Russian specificational constructions

Russian linguistics. 2026. Vol. 50. Article 11.
Logvinova N.

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation of this kind has remained unexamined. This paper investigates this variation in Russian across two domains: 1) peripheral constructions with proper names (astronyms, holiday names), 2) core specificational constructions with common noun hypernyms (sortals) like ponjatie ‘notion’, javlenie ‘phenomenon’. Using quantitative data from the ruTenTen17 corpus, the paper identifies and statistically tests a set of factors governing the choice of encoding, including (1) semantic interpretation of the term, (2) lexical semantics, (3) “valency” properties of the sortal, (4) frequency. The “use vs. mention” hypothesis receives partial confirmation: juxtapositionally encoded terms resist modification by restrictive relative clauses and show constraints on binding relative pronouns, consistent with their status as “labels”. However, they are not entirely syntactically inert; they bind anaphoric pronouns effectively and do not differ in discourse status from possessive-like forms. The variation appears to stem from two competing semantic prototypes within the construction: one where the sortal is semantically prioritized (aligning with juxtaposition) and another where the term is prioritized (aligning with the possessive-like encoding). The inherent mixed referentiality of the construction and its peripheral status in the grammar prevent a complete grammaticalization of either option, resulting in a stable, multi-factor variation.

Fedorov D., Jezikoslovni Zapiski 2026 № 32(1) С. 23–52
This article describes verbs denoting motion of liquid and dry substances in Slavic langu­ages. The research explores how Slavic languages lexicalize different situations within the semantic field of substance motion and identifies the parameters that drive this lexicalization (e.g., type of substance, intensity and quantization of flow, and causation). Adjacent gram­matical phenomena such as argument ...

«Плоский мир» Т. Пратчетта глазами русскоязычного фандома
Кульков А. Н., Tsvetkova M. V., Вестник Томского государственного университета. Филология 2026 № 100 С. 158–173
Впервые делается попытка рассмотреть особенности фанфикшн как акта продуктивной рецепции, возникшего на основе цикла романов Терри Пратчетта о Плоском мире в России. Проведенный анализ показывает, что прежде всего авторы фанфиков стремятся передать стилистику и комическое начало оригинального цикла Пратчетта, вне зависимости от жанра и формата создаваемых ими произведений. Фикрайтеры наиболее часто обращаются к таким форматам, ...

Recently, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in some of its de-cisions, modified the concept of good faith (bona fides) significantly in rela-tion to acquisitive prescription (usucapio), bringing it more in line with its Roman counterpart. It is worth noting at this point that the same Court adopted the concept of good faith as ...
