'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?

A published answer to Petr Chaadaev's first "Philosophical letter": a comment on Russian political language of the 1830s

NRU Higher School of Economics , 2017. No. WP BRP 19/LS/2017.
Velizhev M.
This paper is aimed at exploring the rhetorical conventions of political polemics in 19th century Russia. We will compare two texts published in the 1830s – a classic “First Philosophical Letter” by Petr Chaadaev and a less known reply to it written by young Andrej Krayevsky – “Thoughts on Russia”. First we plan to focus on their stated ideas, and then to consider the political language of the opponents. As we will see, if their ideas were completely different, Chaadaev and Krayevsky shared the same political idiom – the language of official national ideology. We will try to demonstrate that it was possible to use the language of the official ideology not only to establish that ideology but paradoxically also to start an open debate with it.

Конституционное правосудие выступает краеуголь-ным камнем в политической философии либерализма, представляя важнейший элемент правового государства и гарантий верховен-ства права.
