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?

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

A Note on Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX
Yurovitskaya M., Zeitschrift fur die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 2026 Vol. 138 No. 3 P. 392–400
I propose to relate the puzzling rendering of סָבְאָם  as Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX to the only other occurrence of סֹבֶא  “strong drink, wine, or beer”, Isa 1:22, where the term is translated in the LXX as οἱ κάπηλοι “retailers”. Given that כְּנַעֲנִי  “Canaanite” functioned as a designation for “trader”, I argue that both verses ultimately reflect ...

μαθηματων κaθαρσις versus παθηματων καθαρσις, или простое решение сложной проблемы

In Aristotle's definition of tragedy in Poetics, where catharsis suddenly appears without any preparation, every word, preposition, and semantics of the case are commented on with such attention and detail as, perhaps, only the expressions, cases, and letters of the Holy Scriptures. In 1975, A. F. Losev estimated the number of interpretations of catharsis by ...

К четвероякому корню органической репрезентации, или Критика Аристотеля Жилем Делёзом. Часть II: Аналогия бытия и ее вариации
Volkov D., Вопросы философии 2026 № 1 С. 112–124
The article continues the systematic presentation of the critique of the postulates of “organic representation” generated by Aristotle's philosophy, which is realized by Gilles Deleuze in his work Difference and Repetition. Having considered the first three “roots” of organic representation (identity-opposition- resemblance), the author proceeds to the analysis of the most difficult and understudied subject ...

Volkov D., Вопросы философии 2025 № 12 С. 176–186
The aim of the article is to systematically present a critique of the “organic representation” generated by Aristotle's philosophy, as expressed in Gilles Deleuze’s Difference and Repetition. The Deleuzian analysis, preceded by a description of the peculiarities of the thinker’s historical-philosophical work, is divided by the author into four “roots” of representation, distinguished by Deleuze ...

Употребление будущего времени в греческом тексте псалмов и гипотеза об «эсхатологизации» греческой Псалтири
Seleznev M., Индоевропейское языкознание и классическая филология 2025 Т. 29 № 2 С. 401–410
The crystallization of apocalyptic and eschatological ideas in the Jewish tradition began during the Babylonian captivity and continued during the Second Temple period. In a developed form, Jewish eschatology is presented in the book of Daniel (second century B.C.), in the book of Enoch (last centuries B.C.), in the New Testament, and in numerous Jewish ...

Draco’s Constitution and Political Ideas of Athenian Oligarchs
Verlinsky Alexander, Philologia Classica 2021 Vol. 16 No. 2 P. 186–206
In the article which serves as a sequel to an earlier one the author argues that Draco’s constitution (DC) in Arist. AP 4 does not derive from an oligarchic political pamphlet in which it served as a prototype of a constitution to be implemented in Athens as the majority of scholars believe. The preponderance of ...

Early Theory of Language and Sophistic Argumentation in the Derveni Papyrus
Matusova E., ΣΧΟΛΗ. Ancient Philosophy and the Classical Tradition 2025 Vol. 19 No. 2 P. 735–766
The article discusses the impact of the early sophistic theories of language on the style and argumentation of the Derveni author and shows that he engages deeply with the problematics of semantics as discussed by the sophists, in particular the notions of correct speech, the proper meanings of words, synonymy and homonymy. Aristotle notes that the main device of ...

Аристотелевско-томистский корпус в творчестве Геннадия Схолария: постановка проблемы и предварительные наблюдения
Вычеров В. Р., Вопросы теологии 2026 Т. 8 № 1 С. 55–71
In Russian historiography, a one-sided view of Gennadius Scholarius as an opponent of the union and an «anti-Westerner» is widely presented. Such an «anti-Western» line of reading the history of theology can be traced in Russian historiography of the 20th century, especially after the rediscovery of the legacy of Gregory Palamas and its ideologization as ...

Параллели между Септуагинтой и Таргумами: на примере перевода מַשְׁבֵּר в Иса 37:3 и 4 Цар 19:3
Yurovitskaya M., Индоевропейское языкознание и классическая филология 2025 Т. 29 № 2 С. 651–661
It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words. In contrast to the hypothesis of a direct influence of the early forms of Targumim on the LXX, I believe that these versions rather reflect a common approach to the interpretation of biblical texts, as ...

Праксис и критика поступка: рассуждение о роли условной необходимости у Аристотеля
Mikirtumov I., Человек 2024 Т. 35 № 6 С. 158–174
The article offers an interpretation of hypothetical necessity, which is important for understanding Aristotle’s future contingent events, based on praxis. For this purpose, the concept of becoming, the ways of expanding knowledge and the consequences for them of incomplete information about the conditions for the occurrence of future contingent events are used. Hypothetical necessity is the ...

Translation of Hebrew tenses in the Greek Psalter: choosing between past, present, and future
Seleznev M., Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies (JSCS) 2024 Vol. 57 P. 73–93
In the LXX-Psalter, in about 80% of cases, the choice between past, present, and future/non-indicative (in the present paper we consider future tense and non-indicative moods together) was predetermined by the tenses of the original. As for the remaining 20%, some of these “abnormal” renderings can be explained as inheriting the tense value from the ...
