This paper surveys the emergence and transformation of Vietnamese studies in Russia and the former Soviet Union from the late nineteenth century until the present. It demonstrates how writings by Russian explorers and geographers developed into a professional academic field during the Soviet era, one that was strongly shaped by ideological affinities and international connections within the communist world. Although Vietnamese studies in Russia has retained some intellectual and institutional legacies from the Soviet era, it also reflects transformations in academic life in Russia since the 1990s as well as the changing relationship between the two countries.

Im Bundestagswahlkampf 2021 gab es keine intensiven Debatten zu außenpolitischen Fragen. Die deutsch-russischen Beziehungen waren da keine Ausnahme. Die Fortführung eines Dialogs zwischen Berlin und Moskau ist einer der Punkte, zu dem in der deutschen Politik ein Konsens besteht. Eine zukünftige Bundesregierung wird den Kompromissansatz von Angela Merkel gegenüber Russland fortführen, ganz gleich, wie die Koalition zusammengesetzt ist. Das erschwert das Entstehen einer positiven Dynamik im deutsch-russischen Dialog, verhindert aber auch, dass er einfriert.

In the 2000s, Al-Qaeda, represented by the Caucasus Emirate, took over the first Chechen resistance, as well as local Islamist armed groups in Dagestan and other republics of the North Caucasus. However, a decade later, the Islamic State won the competition with Al-Qaeda, by including the involvement of women in its project. Hundreds of Russian-speaking Muslim women followed men to live by the rules of Islam. Some joined their husbands or children. Others travelled to the Islamic State in pursuit of love and romance with future husbands they had met on the internet. Based on exclusive interviews done with women detained in the Roj detention camp in the Kurdish territories in northeastern Syria near the Iraqi border, this article analyzes some of the trajectories that has pushed young North Caucasian women to the Syrian war theater in the name of love.

Intelligence is understood as a means of mental activity, that is, a means of generating, storing, understanding, transforming thoughts in a special intelligible space of the noosphere. Three types of intellects are distinguished depending on the thinking subject: Intelligence A is an individual lively wit of a member of a society, which is in his mind; Intelligence B is a social logos, which is the core of abstract thought and speech sphere of public consciousness (logosphere) and includes the BB Bibliologo as one of its particular types; Intelligence C is an artificial intelligence that exists in a digital virtual reality (computer space and time). Intelligence A is a natural one, operating with symbols (speech and images) in a psychical human world; Intelligence B is artificial, operating with cultural codes in a social environment; Intelligence C is artificial, operating with digital signals in an electronic virtual environment. Two ideological problems are examined: firstly, the problem of the intelligences A, B, C dynamics of development in biological and historical time; secondly, the problem of interaction of various intelligences in the modern society logo sphere. The conclusion that digital culture must be balanced by humanitarian (humanistic) culture, the bearer of which is book cultural heritage, is made. For this, each Russian library should be a center of Russian culture, combining three types of intelligences: 1) library logo; 2) artificial intelligence of free access; 3) lively intelligence of a library team. The educational mission of Library Logos is to use their intellectual potential for to bring to senses (familiarize with the mind) the population of Russia. Moreover, it is desirable that our politicians should comprehend that the library is the humanistic stronghold of the nation, and digitalization (informatization, automation) is an auxiliary tool to strengthen book culture as the basic value of Russia.

For decades Soviet and later post-Soviet sociology was dominated by a cohort of scholars bornbetween 1927–1930 (Grushin, Kon, Levada, Ossipov, Yadov, Zaslavskaya). The origins of theirprominence and the character of their recognition offers a puzzle as it seemingly defiesconventional ideas about where academic renown comes from. Academic prominence is usuallyassociated with either intellectual leadership or skillful manipulation of the academic powerstructures. Neither of these stories describes the peculiar pattern of recognition of the giants ofSoviet sociology whose fame persisted after they retired from administrative responsibilities and inspite of their ideas from the Soviet era being almost forgotten. The hypothesis developed in thispaper holds that this peculiar form of fame emerges from the unique position sociology held inSoviet society. The paper introduces a distinction between natural and intentional secrecy andargues that while most of Western sociology specialized in natural secrecy, Soviet sociology had todeal with intentional secrecy resulting from conscious attempts to conceal the dismal realities ofstate socialism. The pervasiveness of secrecy during the Soviet era resulted from the centrallegitimizing myth of Soviet society describing it as built following a scientifically devised plan. Thislegitimation allowed Soviet sociology to emerge and develop with an unparalleled speed, but, at thesame time, it explains why sociology was seen as having considerable subversive potential andfaced periodic repressions. This political environment accounts for Soviet sociology's uniqueintellectual style as well as for the fact that its central figures remained in the disciplinary memoryas heroic role models, rather than as authors of exemplary texts.
