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.

Syriac Hagiography: Texts and Beyond

Leiden : Brill, 2021.
Minov S., Ruani F.

Chapters gathered in Syriac Hagiography: Texts and Beyond explore a wide range of Syriac hagiographical works, while following two complementary methodological approaches, i.e. literary and cultic, or formal and functional. Grouped into three main sections, these contributions reflect three interrelated ways in which we can read Syriac hagiography and further grasp its characteristics: “Texts as Literature” seeks to unfold the mechanisms of their literary composition; “Saints Textualized” offers a different perspective on the role played by hagiographical texts in the invention and/or maintenance of the cult of a particular saint or group of saints; “Beyond the Texts” presents cases in which the historical reality behind the nexus of hagiographical texts and veneration of saints can be observed in greater details.

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».

Парадоксальным образом обращение к «общеславянскому» прошлому ...
