The exhibition "Everyday Life and Romance of Archaeographic Expeditions (for the Anniversary of Archaeography in Siberia)" opened at NSU during the All-Russian scientific conference "Source Studies of Old Russian Literature and Language (Archaeography, Textual Criticism, Poetics)," which took place from October 16-18. It features photographs from various years and personal belongings of the participants of the early expeditions—from canvas jackets and sneakers, camping utensils and notebooks to ship tickets and early printed books.

Many participants at the exhibition's opening ceremony recognized themselves in old photographs and reminisced about trekking through the taiga, traveling to the expedition site by steamship, and being welcomed by the Old Believers in their settlements. And, of course, they spoke of their mentors and teachers. Many warm words were spoken about the founder of archaeographic expeditions, Elena Dergacheva-Skop. Grateful students remembered her as an energetic, thorough, and very cheerful woman, dedicated to science and passionate about her work. It was she who drew many of those present into the amazing world of ancient manuscripts, early printed and handwritten books, awakening in them the passion for scientific inquiry and the desire for new discoveries. Not all of them subsequently dedicated their careers to archaeography, but they did not abandon their scientific work and continued their research in other fields.

NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk attended the exhibition opening. He noted the significant contribution of NSU Humanities Institute researchers to science and the significance of their expeditionary work. Then, Ekaterina Turuk, a research fellow at the NSU Humanities Institute's Laboratory of Archaeography and Source Studies, spoke about the exhibition and the most interesting exhibits on display.

This exhibition is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of archaeological expeditions to Siberia, the very date when Elena Ivanovna Dergacheva-Skop, Vladimir Nikolaevich Alekseev, and Elena Konstantinovna Romodanovskaya, a staff member of the Institute of History, Philology, and Philosophy of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, led our philology students on their first trip to the Siberian Old Believers. Since then, these expeditions have become regular events. We envisioned a slightly lyrical, romantic, and even homely feel to this exhibition, hence its title. It turned out that the personal belongings of the archaeological expedition participants represent the everyday life, while the photographs they provided provide the romantic touch. We are grateful to everyone who responded to our request and participated in the search for artifacts for our exhibition. Thanks to them, the exhibition features unique exhibits. "That's how we acquired Elena Ivanovna Dergacheva-Skop's handbag, which she used to carry the expedition participants' tickets, a whole box of Oleg Albertovich Donskikh's diaries, and photographs from his personal archive. And at our insistence, Andrei Yuryevich Borodikhin found the very jackets and backpack he used on the expeditions. He even managed to miraculously find his hiking shoes, mug, and kettle! He even shared a bear tooth, given to him by the Old Believers as a talisman. All these items can be seen at our exhibition," said Ekaterina Turuk.

A significant portion of the exhibition is made up of photographs. Archaeography Laboratory staff members Ekaterina Turuk, Inna Shilova, Grigory Belousov, and GI Master's student Anna Cherkasova have accomplished a significant amount of work, working with the photo archive. They classified and sorted the photographs, digitized the slides, and identified the people depicted in them. The result is an extensive photo gallery of expedition images, from the first to this year's. Looking at these images, the participants of the first expeditions reminisced about their student years and eagerly shared their memories with current humanities students.

In the 1960s, our lives were completely steeped in romanticism. Romance was the key word of our youth. We even dedicated our entrance essays to it, on a free topic, in which we wrote about our understanding of romance. So, for us, romance wasn't about waiting on the pier for a beautiful frigate with scarlet sails. We were enchanted by the romance of difficult journeys. For us, it was hiking, the taiga, scientific research, and overcoming difficulties. And there were plenty of them on expeditions! On our first expedition, Elena Ivanovna and I set off on a large motor ship called the "Maria Ulyanova" to the north of the Tomsk region. We disembarked in the village of Molchanovo, where we were put up in a large room. I think it was a hotel. And then we hit the taiga trails. I remember a funny incident: I was paralyzed with fear when I came across three snakes. So much so that I couldn't go any further. Elena Ivanovna asked a local we met to give me a ride in a cart to the pier. On the way, he asked me who we were. I proudly replied, "Philologists." He said, "Looking for oil? What, without a compass?" Indeed, many geologists worked in those areas, searching for minerals, and the locals were accustomed to encountering them in the taiga, shared Irina Alexandrovna Guzner.

A participant in the first archaeographic expedition recounted that Elena Ivanovna Dergacheva-Skop provided all the necessary living arrangements. She handled issues with accommodation, travel, and food. The latter presented some challenges. Canned goods and cereals were available in local stores, but eggs and milk had to be ordered from the state farm. Elena Ivanovna handled this task successfully.

"Our group was assigned two people for this purpose, and Elena Ivanovna was given a sarafan—a blue one with white polka dots. She would dress up, one girl would do her makeup, the other would do her hair, and then, dressed like that, she would go to the management, who couldn't resist the charm of a young, beautiful woman. So, we were given plenty of food, and we ate well," recalled Irina Alexandrovna Guzner.

The expedition's romance also lay in the unpredictability of events and overcoming difficulties in unfamiliar conditions. Irina Alexandrovna recalled how, in the village of Lysaya Gora, which no longer exists, they had to live in a greenhouse, from which they removed the seedlings and, as best they could, adapted them for temporary housing.

"Thanks to these expeditions, I suddenly discovered that another life is possible. It turned out that there are people who live for completely different values. And that was, of course, simply amazing," said Oleg Albertovich Donskikh.

At the photo exhibition, a photograph of a young girl with a long braid caught everyone's attention. Elena Edmundovna Voytishek recognized herself in the photo and shared a funny story from her expedition past.

It was 1980, in a remote village. I'd just finished my first year. In one of the houses, an Old Believer named Paramon Kalinovich approached me and tugged my braid: "Isn't that a towed braid, girl?" I was hurt and offended. But after my partner, fifth-year student Mikhail Chirkin, and I helped around the house, fetched water, weeded the garden beds, and talked about the harvest, they began to consider us one of their own and took our work on the expedition seriously. And then, frankly, it was a test worse than any we'd ever taken in university classrooms! They immediately laid out the Chetyi-Minei, the Hexameron, and the Psalter for us to read, no matter which page the book opened to. And we read. That's how our hosts tested us. Then they opened the books of Znamenny Chant for us, either by salts or by hooks. Here, my musical education really helped me—I had attended music school and played two instruments. Somehow, I managed, because I had to read the lyrics, sing them without the familiar staff, and discern those hooks. It was a wonderful experience, a kind of parallel reality. There are events in life that you experience and realize: you'll never see anything like this again, and you'll never relive that moment anywhere else. Our expeditions consisted of such moments," said Elena Edmundovna Voytishek.

Over the years, expedition participants brought back approximately 2,000 handwritten and early printed books from the 15th to early 20th centuries. Finding these precious artifacts wasn't always easy. Only persistence and dedication helped the expedition members achieve their goal.

— One of the participants in our expedition, Gennady Pavlovich Enin, worked for the family that kept this handwritten book of the 16th century in order to obtain the valuable Four Gospels with marvelous miniatures on a gold lining. For three years, every vacation she went to her owners and did various housework for them, so that she could later receive this book of extraordinary beauty for her labors. In the third year, the owners agreed to give it away, but also asked for a portable tape recorder – the family was very musical. Gennady Pavlovich was quite happy with this option. What about my story? I had the opportunity to visit a real Old Believer monastery once. Then I was still a student and went on a trip with a girl from Leningrad University. We were sent to the Asinovsky district of the Tomsk region. But how to find that very monastery? Having arrived at our destination, we went to the village administration. There we were advised to contact the foresters – they know exactly where this monastery is, and even go there from time to time, patrolling the forest. We went to the forestry enterprise. It turned out that the foresters were just getting ready to go in that direction the next morning. We stocked up on food and were already at the appointed place at 6 am. We walked for a long time through the taiga along an old overgrown clearing along which timber was transported 15 years ago. Well, we walk along this clearing for an hour, two, three… A short halt and again we hit the road. The foresters were surprised when they looked at us: they were city dwellers, and they didn’t complain or whine… At rest stops, they treated us to tea, and we shared our supplies with them. We reached the monastery in 10 hours. It wasn’t far there—“only” 40 kilometers. At the monastery we met an amazing person – Mother Melania. She lived in a tiny house. Several other people lived in the large house next door, and real treasures were kept here – old books. She told me about her difficult fate, about the persecution of Old Believers, about life in the taiga, about a recent meeting with a bear at the fence separating the estate from the taiga. Such moments are not forgotten, and they can only be experienced on an expedition,” said Tatyana Nikolaevna Apsit.

The romance of expeditions hasn't gone away, and today more and more students from the NSU Humanities Institute are embarking on office-based practical training, which is part of the Philology curriculum and mandatory for all students.

What's in a name: 35 years since Nizhny Novgorod ceased to be Gorky

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

On October 22, 1990, Nizhny Novgorod was restored to its historical name. Why was the city renamed in the first place, and what did the great writer Maxim Gorky think about it?

The merchant capital celebrated by Ostrovsky's genius was founded in 1221 at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers by Prince Yuri (George) Vsevolodovich as a stronghold for defending the Russian borders from the Mordvins, Cheremis, and Tatars. Historians believe the city was named Nizhny due to its location in the "lower" lands relative to Novgorod the Great.

Impregnable fortress

For many decades, beginning in the late 15th century, Nizhny Novgorod was a reliable stronghold of Moscow in its struggle for the great river route. During this time, a stone Kremlin was built here, from whose walls, in the winter of 1612, a militia led by Kozma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky set out to fight the Polish-Lithuanian invaders. The city's calling card is Strelka, the confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers. In the Middle Ages, this was the center of the Strelitsky camp, hence the name.

From all over the country, goods were delivered here by watercraft to the famous Novgorod Fair, also known as the "pocket of Russia." The largest commodity trades were held here, and the Gostiny Dvor (trading yard) housed over 2,500 shops. It is no surprise that in the 18th century, Nizhny Novgorod became an important administrative center: from 1714, it became the provincial center, and from 1779 to 1796, it was the center of the entire Nizhny Novgorod Viceroyalty.

To the writer – from the people

In 1932, the entire Soviet Union celebrated the 40th anniversary of the creative work of the first proletarian writer, Maxim Gorky, who was born in Nizhny Novgorod and spent his difficult youth there. He later recounted this period in the first two parts of his autobiographical trilogy, "Childhood. Among People. My Universities."

For his literary services to the working class and workers, the Central Executive Committee of the USSR decided to award the writer the Order of Lenin and name a central Moscow street after him, establish 100 named prizes, create postage stamps, etc.

The people didn't remain on the sidelines: on August 26, 1932, at a ceremonial joint plenum of the regional committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), the executive committee, the city party committee, and the Soviet, worker Ovsyannikov proposed naming Nizhny Novgorod after his fellow countryman. Factory workers who spoke next supported the idea.

Less than two weeks had passed before the Central Executive Committee of the USSR granted the request of the plenum participants: on October 7, 1932, Nizhny Novgorod became Gorky.

It's worth noting that the writer himself wasn't pleased with this honor. In a letter to Fyodor Khitrovsky, a Nizhny Novgorod journalist and local historian, Maxim Gorky wrote on February 19, 1933, from Sorrento: "Today, for the first time, I wrote Gorky on an envelope instead of Nizhny Novgorod. It's very awkward and unpleasant."

Back to the roots

The question of restoring the historical name arose in the 1950s, when Nikita Khrushchev, arriving in Gorky, called its residents Nizhny Novgorodians.

In July 1987, at the 5th All-Russian Congress of the Society for the Preservation of Historical and Cultural Monuments, artist Israel Ashkenazi proposed that Gorky delegates support an initiative to return the Volga pearl to its former name. However, in December of that year, the City Council of People's Deputies adopted a resolution to retain the Soviet name. However, a decision was later made to appeal to the authorities for a renaming. Ultimately, on October 22, 1990, the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR approved the return of Nizhny Novgorod from temporary oblivion.

New Time

Another famous native of Nizhny Novgorod is the ace pilot Valery Chkalov. Near the Strelka stands a monumental staircase named after Chkalov, a hero of the Strelka. Its observation decks offer majestic views of the Oka and Volga rivers. The 560 steps, 150 meters long, and unique figure-eight design lend the memorial staircase a solemn air—the steps were built in honor of the defenders of Stalingrad.

The longest aerial tramway in Europe has also been built here—over 3,600 meters, including 861 meters directly over Russia's main river. This isn't just a tourist attraction, but a fully-fledged public transportation system connecting the city with its satellite town, Bor. Before the air route, the journey took over 40 minutes by commuter train; now, the journey takes just 12.5 minutes. Thus, Nizhny Novgorod continues to develop, carefully preserving its centuries-old history—both in its name and in stone.

Harare, October 22 (Xinhua) — China's economic path in recent years has provided countries in the Global South with valuable insights for addressing global challenges, Munetsi Madakufamba, executive director of the Southern African Research and Documentation Centre, a Zimbabwe-based think tank, said in a recent written interview with Xinhua.

He said China has made significant progress in socio-economic development through the implementation of its 14th Five-Year Plan, bringing stability to the global economy.

China's economic path is marked by resilience and transformation, with forecasts pointing to robust growth in 2025, cementing its role as a key anchor of global stability despite global headwinds.

“The cornerstone of China’s approach is its commitment to green development, which is reflected in the development of renewable energy sectors such as electric vehicles, solar and wind power,” said Madakufamba.

For decades, China has used consistent five-year plans to manage its development, establishing itself as one of the major economies committed to long-term strategic planning and setting a strong example for countries in the Global South, the Zimbabwean expert added.

China's vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity resonates in China's diplomatic and economic activities, particularly in its relations with countries in the Global South, according to M. Madakufamba.

The Belt and Road Initiative is also an example of China's active participation in international cooperation, which is crucial for the development of new and large-scale infrastructure projects across the African continent, the expert noted.

He added that China's commitment to strengthening cooperation with countries in the Global South demonstrates its willingness to jointly address current development challenges amid global uncertainties through a win-win approach, creating enormous synergies for countries like Zimbabwe, which aims to achieve middle-income status by 2030.

M. Madakufamba praised Chinese investment in his country, saying China is using capital, technology and expertise to unlock Zimbabwe's vast economic potential and advance its development goals.

“The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is a moment of great significance not only for China, but also for partners like Zimbabwe, who are seeking paths to sustainable development,” concluded Madakufamba. –0–

JERUSALEM, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said on Tuesday that Hamas will be destroyed if it refuses to disarm, and that Israel will decide for itself whether and which foreign troops to deploy in the Gaza Strip.

Speaking at a press conference in Kiryat Gat, north of Gaza, he said Hamas militants could be spared if the movement cooperated. "If it doesn't refuse to cooperate… Hamas will be destroyed," the politician emphasized.

The Vice President noted that the White House would not pressure Israel over the presence of foreign troops, calling it "an issue that requires Israeli consent." Türkiye could play a significant role, he added.

According to J.D. Vance, the mediators working on a possible second phase of the ceasefire face challenging tasks. "Can I say with 100 percent certainty that this will work? No… but to overcome the difficulties, you have to try," he said.

The vice president also expressed frustration over the slow recovery of the bodies of the dead. "Some of these hostages are buried under thousands of pounds of rubble. Some hostages, no one even knows where they are," he said, calling for "a little patience."

The ceasefire has recently come under threat amid mutual accusations of violations, but both Israel and Hamas have publicly reaffirmed their commitment to the agreement.

J.D. Vance, who arrived in Israel on Tuesday, is expected to meet with the country's leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier, White House Special Envoy for the Middle East Steven Witkoff and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived in Israel.

URUMQI, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — Thirty agreements, including cooperation between Tacheng and regions of Kazakhstan, were signed at the Baktu Forum held in Tacheng County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Tuesday, with a total value of about 13.1 billion yuan (about 1.85 billion U.S. dollars).

These documents include framework agreements and agreements on foreign trade and investment cooperation, covering areas such as new materials, cross-border tourism, and final assembly and export of auto parts.

The forum brought together business representatives and think tank experts from China, Russia, Kazakhstan, and other countries to discuss cooperation plans, giving new impetus to trade, economic cooperation, and humanitarian exchanges.

Zhi Xianwei, secretary of the district's Party Committee, stated that Tacheng, with its strong resource advantages, is gradually developing industrial clusters and continuously optimizing its business environment. He expressed hope that the forum will serve as a bridge to facilitate the sharing of the benefits of opening up with all parties and deepen cooperation within the country and with foreign countries.

As a reminder, the forum is named after the Baktu checkpoint located in the district on the Chinese-Kazakh border, which experiences both significant cargo turnover and a large tourist flow.

First held in 2012, the event is now in its fourth year and will be held annually starting this year. The forum is expected to become an important platform for regular exchanges and cooperation between countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

ANKARA, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — Turkey's parliament on Tuesday approved President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's proposal to extend the mandate of Turkish troops in Iraq and Syria for three years.

The proposal was approved by an overwhelming majority of parliament members, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The need to deploy Turkish troops in these countries is justified by the fight against militants of the Islamic State (IS) and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the statement said.

Turkey's current mandate for cross-border military operations in Syria and Iraq expires on October 30.

The country has long maintained a military presence in northern Syria and Iraq under the pretext of fighting the PKK, ISIS, and the Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG).

Türkiye views the SNA as the Syrian branch of the PKK and has designated the group as a terrorist organization.

The ousting of the Australian military aircraft was justified and legal, according to the Chinese Ministry of Defense.

BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — The Chinese military's recent action to expel an Australian P-8A military aircraft from Chinese airspace was justified, legal, professional and restrained, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said on Wednesday, adding that the Chinese side has made stern representations to the Australian side.

He made the statement in response to media inquiries about the recent incident and comments from Australia.

Forces from the People's Liberation Army's Southern Zone Combat Command (SZCC) on Sunday dislodged an Australian P-8A military aircraft that illegally entered Chinese airspace over the Xisha Islands without permission from the Chinese government.

The Southwest Coast Command deployed naval and air force units to escort, track, respond decisively, warn and dislodge the Australian aircraft in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

However, Australian defence authorities said the actions were "unsafe and unprofessional".

The Australian side's statement distorts the facts and shifts blame to China in an attempt to cover up the illegal intrusion of its military aircraft, Jiang Bin said, expressing strong dissatisfaction with this move and adding that the Chinese side has made stern representations to the Australian side.

Stressing that the Australian side's unfounded arguments are completely unfounded, the official representative of the PLA called on Australia to immediately cease violations and provocations, stop distorting and exaggerating the incident, and strictly control its naval and air forces so as not to damage the relations between the two countries and their armed forces.

The Chinese armed forces will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security, and firmly maintain peace and stability in the region, Jiang Bin said.

URUMQI, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — The China-Central Asia Legal Education Alliance was founded at the China-Central Asia Legal Culture Exchange and Mutual Learning Conference held in Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Tuesday.

This is an important result of implementing the spirit of the First China-Central Asia Education Ministers' Meeting, which was held in May of this year in the above-mentioned city.

The conference was attended by experts and scholars from more than 10 universities in five Central Asian countries and over 10 Chinese universities and law schools, as well as representatives from relevant organizations.

Omirali Zhalairi, Rector of the D.A. Kunaev Eurasian Law Academy, noted that the creation of the alliance has far-reaching significance. It serves not only as an important tool for academic exchange but also as a key mechanism for ensuring regional stability, she added.

Yu Fei, Vice-Rector of China University of Political Science and Law (CUPSL), stated that the alliance will focus on scientific research, personnel training, and other areas of practical cooperation in the future.

Participants agreed that, amid profound changes in the legal profession brought about by the development of artificial intelligence, deepening mutual learning in the rule of law has become a common choice for countries around the world. Transforming traditional good-neighborly relations into stable mechanisms for legal cooperation will lay a solid foundation for building a "China-Central Asia" community with a shared future.

In addition, the conference, co-organized by the Xinjiang People's Government and the Yugoslav Communist Party, discussed issues related to the training of legal professionals in areas related to foreign affairs and international arbitration to create a first-class business environment in China and Central Asia.
