Human Development in Post-Conflict Situation: Projects and Institutions of the USA After World War II
The project-based activities of U.S. educational, cultural, and research institutions played a crucial role in shaping international knowledge infrastructure during the latter half of the twentieth century. After the end of World War II and during the ensuing Cold War, these projects became instruments for creating networks, norms, and institutional structures that underpinned global human development. Drawing on Petar Bojanić’s theory of institu…
Urban imaginaries of post-2022 Russian emigrants on Telegram: Negotiating belonging and affective attachment in Yerevan, Buenos Aires, Herceg Novi, and Belgrade
This study examines the digital narratives of Russian emigrants who left the country after 2022, focusing on how they construct urban imaginaries of their host cities on Telegram. Drawing on four publicly accessible Telegram channels (from their creation in 2022 through April 2026), it explores representations of Yerevan, Buenos Aires, Herceg Novi, and Belgrade. The corpus broadly reflects the sociological profile of the post-2022 emigration wave…
Hacking the border: Digital narratives of Russian asylum seekers after 2022
The announcement of the 'special military operation' in February 2022 led to waves of emigration from Russia, further intensified by the mobilization campaign in September 2022. While most Russian emigrants chose countries with visa-free or facilitated visa regimes or took advantage of company relocation, some opted for the more challenging route of seeking asylum in Schengen countries or the USA. This article analyzes the digital narratives of R…
Environmental Imaginaries of the Arctic in the 21st Century Travel Writing
Contemporary travel accounts engage with the ecocritical agenda, examining the global environmental crisis caused by human actions. In contrast to earlier narratives that presented the Arctic as a territory to be “claimed,” today’s travelers predominantly view it as a territory to be preserved. Amid the dialectic of destruction and preservation, new environmental imaginaries emphasize the interconnectedness of nature and human history, employing …
Moral Choice and the Concept of Evil in Military Narratives of Orthodox Christians
The article contributes critically to the current discussion of militant piety in Russian Orthodox Christianity. It argues for a more historically informed use of the notion of militant piety, which can benefit from critical discourse analysis of personal narratives and the focus on lived experience and lived religion of Orthodox Christians who were involved in wars. The article analyses ego-documents collected in two recent volumes: the first sh…
The Transformation of Family Ties as a Result of Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Third-party involvement in parenting projects alters our perception of kin and family ties. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) cause a fragmentation of parenthood: parental contributions are differentiated into technical operations, while some of these operations are delegated to third parties during conception, gestation, birth, and upbringing. In this article, the authors focus on the discussion of reproductive legislation and demonstrate…
Ethical aspects of military leadership in modern warfare (Memoirs of the Commanders-in-Chief in Afghanistan and Chechnya)
While modern normative approaches to ethics of war (just war theories) stumble over theoretical aporia of legitimating ?collective organized violence? such as the war, anthropological approaches to the practical ethics of the military servicemen focus on the lived moral experience and the enacted values of individuals who were placed in the situation of ?total violence?. Drawing on the memoirs of two generals who were Commanders-in-Chief in Afgha…

Time, Moment, Eternity: Hieroglyphs and Meditations in Yakov Druskin’s Philosophy
In this article, the author explores the interest of the interwar intellectuals in “time, death, God”. This focus on temporality as an existential problem engendered some major philosophical projects, which aimed at complete revision of how philosophy should be done, including Henri Bergson, Edmund Husserl, Franz Rosenzweig. The main part outlines a philosophical project of Yakov Druskin who addressed the problem of temporality in a highly origin…
Sights and Scars of Imagined Geography: Journeys through Environmental Disasters in Post-Soviet Countries
Recent travel writing responds to the ecological concerns of its readers and discovers ‘new exoticism’ in the places of environmental destruction. In this paper, we aim to explore the ecocritical insights in the travelogues across post-Soviet zones of radioactive hazard. We focus on the literary strategies used in the travelogues to describe invisible threats such as radiation. We demonstrate that while the contaminated sites in Chernobyl, Kyshty…
Religious Education in Russian Schools: Plans, Pains, Practices
Since 2012 the compulsory course “Fundamentals of Religious Cultures and Secular Ethics” has been taught in all public schools of Russia. The introduction of the course compelled Russian scholars to engage in comparative research on the development of normative framework and teaching practice in religious education. Despite the importance of global trends and international debates, it is crucial to observe the local dynamics and discover how part…
