Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

France and Sub-Saharan Africa in the post-colonial era

R/evolutions: global trends & regional issues. 2014. Vol. 2. No. 1. P. 342–353.
Ivan Krivoushin

The article examines the history of relations between France and its former colonies in Western and Central Africa after independence, and the Françafrique as a neo-colonial phenomenon and a specific Gaullist instrument of great power politics. The author studies the main trends in France’s African policy, its objectives, postures and bottlenecks, and he tries to answer why these lost its efficacy in the post-Cold War era. The article shows how France’s political and economic role in Africa gradually diminished in the 1990s - 2000s, and proposes a possible scenario for the future development of relationships between France and African countries for the near and medium term.

Празднование славянской письменности в 1863 г.: как Россия "вспомнила" Кирилла и Мефодия
Chronopoulos D., Вестник Омского университета. Серия: Исторические науки 2027 № 1
В 1863 г. в России отметили тысячелетие славянской письменности. Имперские власти и церковные деятели осознавали общеславянский характер праздника и его важность для «славянского вопроса». В общественной дискуссии фигуры Кирилла и Мефодия были мобилизованы для осмысления ключевых вопросов — от народного просвещения до обострившегося в связи с восстанием «Польского вопроса». Парадоксальным образом обращение к «общеславянскому» прошлому ...

Vague stimulating ideas, images and metaphors in scientific thinking: researchers' work with horizons of unclear knowledge

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases.
