  • Leskov and Latin

    Open AccessVladimir KorshunkovARTICLEShagi / Steps2024

    In this paper the constant interest of the writer Nikolai Leskov in Russian antiquity, church everyday life, and the life of clergy is noted. Church surnames, characteristic of the Russian clergy in the 18th–19th centuries, were often formed from Greek, Latin, and Church Slavonic terms.

  • Ladies with little dogs

    Vladimir KorshunkovARTICLEEtnograficheskoe obozrenie2024References: 20

    This article deals with the attitude of the Russian nobles towards dogs. The sources are mainly memoirs, as well as Russian literary works of the 18th and 19th centuries, especially those in which the "dog" theme was not the main one but rather appeared as an additional characteristic of a situation or hero. These data show that men and women treated dogs differently. In addition, men and women preferred to communicate with different dog breeds. …

    In the summer of 1879 Vladimir Korolenko was sent to the east across the Russian North regions to Vyatka province, into exile. He noted in his diary that on the border of the Kostroma and Vyatka provinces (in the village of Dyukovo, present-day Kostroma oblast) people cheerfully and noisily celebrated a certain holiday. According to Korolenko that day was All Saints’ Sunday and the eve of St. Philip’s (Christmas) Fast. However, a calculation of t…

  • Bridges, Robbers, Beggars (Features of the Road Tradition of Russia in the 18th - Early 20th Centuries)

    Vladimir KorshunkovARTICLEBulletin of Udmurt University…2022

    The “culture of the road”, the “traditional culture of travel”, the “road tradition” of Russia, the circumstances of road movements in the Russian Empire have been studied by historians and other specialists only recently. However, this topic is important because it allows better understanding how traffic was organized in pre-revolutionary Russia, what difficulties and dangers it was associated with. Shaky, unreliable bridges on roads and the con…
