Споры о том, насколько велика единоличная роль Сталина в массовых репрессиях против собственного населения, развязанных в 30-е годы прошлого века и получивших название “большой террор”, не стихают уже многие десятилетия.Не меньше дискуссий вызывают и другие вопросы. Был ли у страны, перепрыгнувшей от монархии к социализму, иной путь? Случайно ли абсолютная власть досталась одному человеку и ...

Императора Александра I, несомненно, можно назвать самой загадочной и противоречивой фигурой среди русских государей XIX столетия. Республиканец по убеждениям, он четверть века занимал российский престол. Победитель Наполеона и освободитель Европы, он вошел в историю как Александр Благословенный - однако современники, а позднее историки и писатели обвиняли его в слабости, лицемерии и других пороках, недостойных монарха. ...

Статья посвящена обстоятельствам сравнительно короткого, но крайне важного периода воронежской ссылки О. Э. Мандельштама – между концом ноября 1935-го и началом февраля 1936 года. Внешне в центре событий этого времени – поездка в тамбовский санаторий, где поэт стремился обуздать свое изнуряющее эмоциональное возбуждение; внутренним же сюжетом становится поиск политической самоидентификации. Его кульминацией явилось письмо Мандельштама ...

social distance) provided a relatively good fit to the data, but adding country-level predictors
(Human Development Index, population density, and average temperature) did not improve model
