The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

Образ идеального князя-воина в некрологах древнерусского летописания (XI – начало XIII в.)
Прошин А. В., Vox Medii Aevi 2025 Т. 1 (12) С. 13–36
Поскольку древнерусским князьям приходилось постоянно принимать участие в походах и сражениях, идеал правителя должен был, несомненно, отражать представления о них как о воинах. Предполагаемая рядом исследователей первостепенная важность воинского образа князей, включающего их ратные и полководческие качества, однако, не находит подтверждения среди летописных некрологов (посмертных панегириков). Эти текст конструируют посмертный образ князя, отмечая его важнейшие качества ...

В статье на основе неопубликованных документов из Российского государственного архива древних актов (РГАДА), периодики, воспоминаний современников и других источников исследуется символика придворных праздников Екатерины II. Автор статьи приходит к выводу, что торжества были частью политической стратегии императрицы, и их риторика менялась в зависимости от «целевой аудитории». Высокоторжественные дни, празднование которых выносилось на общеимперский уровень, были призваны легитимировать власть Екатерины в ...
