Статья посвящена этимологическому анализу экзоэтнонима «чеченцы», в толковании которого нет единого мнения среди исследователей. Показано, что в основе образования этнонима лежит лексема чачие, которая удачно вписалась в чеченский язык из тюркской языковой среды. В топонимической картине Чечни лексема чачие является ландшафтно-географическим термином, обозначающим некоторые превосходные особенности определенной территории. Появление этого тюркизма в названии долины, а за одно и одноименного поселения, могло произойти, начиная с VII века, т.е. намного раньше, чем известные события XIII-XIVвв., с которыми связывают название села Чечана (Чечен-аул). Культурные контакты народов Северного Кавказа с тюркским миром и странами Востока существовали издавна. Возникновение экзоэтнонима «чеченцы» связывают, как правило, с красноречием, внешней красотой и щегольством чеченцев. Однако, по мнению автора статьи, экзоэтноним «чеченцы» имеет прямое отношение к благоприятной и живописной оазисной долине – чачие – на берегу реки Аргун, и в переводе означает «жители оазиса». Со временем это наименование перешло на весь народ.

The year 2021 is a remarkable date for the Italian history: 160 years ago the unified Italian state was created. As a matter of fact, before then, the necessity to unify the country had been discussed for more than five centuries. One of the first who expressed these ideas was the great poet and politician Dante Alighieri, whose anniversary is also celebrated this year. In Russian Dante studies, the poet's ideas on the Italian unification have been usually considered within the context of his own political views. It is the case of A.K. Dzhivelegov's and I.N. Golenishchev-Kutuzov's studies, which considered the biography and political activity of the famous Italian poet, whereas E.P. Naumov paid special attention to Dante's view on the contemporary political situation in Europe. Our article is entirely dedicated to the development of the issue concerning the Italian unification in Dante Alighieri's work. Basing on a systematic analysis of the entire body of Dante's work, this article highlights the fact that the idea of unification is not only found in Dante's political writings but is, in fact, a keynote of all his literary work. Although Dante considered the unification of Italy in the context of the utopian universal monarchy, he also saw the roots of this unification much deeper than that, i.e. in the organic unity of the Italian people. Our work emphasizes a given evolution of Dante's philosophical and political views, in connection with the unfolding events of his time. In conclusion, this article provides a comprehensive description of Dante's views on the unification of Italy, highlighting the necessity of this unification, the unwillingness of the country to it, as well as the reasons of this unwillingness coming from the contemporary municipalism.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the origins, grounds and possible consequences of the political crisis in modern Italy. The paper shows that the Italian crisis has acquired a scale that challenges the interests of political establishment of the country and the very principles of the EU existence.

Methods and materials. The authors seek a combination of General theoretical and special methods, focusing on the historical, socio-cultural and political analysis. They are based on the analysis of periodicals, as well as using articles and materials of researchers on the problems of political development in Italy.

Analysis. The source of the crisis is the protest of citizens against the state authority and strategies of the political class of Italy, which is accompanied by the requirement of institutional reforms and socio-economic policy for benefit of the majority, in order to establish new political rules and form a truly legitimate political mechanism. These demands came from various social groups and led to a number of political and legal transformations, culminating in the "populist government", which came to power as a result of the parliamentary elections of 2018. The "Populist government" intended to revise many previous approaches in domestic and foreign policy. It is the Alliance of the right-wing and left-wing populists that was entrusted by Italian society with necessary reforms.

Results. According to the authors, it is political populism as a possible platform for social and political transformations, along with a number of possible risks, that contains a positive potential associated with the possibility of overcoming ideological divisions, corporate selfishness of Italian politicians and parties, as well as alienation in the relations of the power and society. This approach to resolving issues by the "populist government" will contribute to the gradual resolution of the problems that have caused the long-term political crisis in Italy.

The article dwells on the semantically integral system of Southern Italy Russian reception in the heyday of Belle époque. Its connection with the European context dating back to Goethe and purely national features are shown. Based on Berdyaev's relevant texts, the imagological constants of the Silver Age 'Russian Italy' are reconstructed. Three different models of it are demonstrated, opposing the aesthetic line of Italy reflection in the mirrors of the arts, embodied by P.P. Muratov (Images of Italy, 1912): in the works of D.S. Merezhkovsky, M.A. Osorgin and I.A. Bunin. It is proved that they are united by an unexpected in the depiction of the bright Italian South antirhetoric, expressive asceticism, opposition to decorative redundancy and polemic in relation to the romantic apology of the 'Mediterranean Arcadia'. In the case of Merezhkovsky, this even laid the foundation for a special potential type of alternative poetics, which could but never managed to reach the center of the writer's artistic system.

This article has a historiographic and methodological nature and is devoted to the problematic interpretations of the esoteric content of Dante's ideas and works by French and Italian scholars from the middle of the nineteenth century to the second half of the twentieth century. Various definitions of Western esotericism are discussed in the light of contemporary approaches. The current interest in the study of Dante's esotericism and the relevance of this topic are substantiated. The tradition in the interpretation of Dante's esotericism in Italy and France can be traced back to the occultists of the 19th century, who referred to each other's works: G. Rossetti, E. Arou, F. Boissard, J. Péladant, G. Pascoli and others. It has been demonstrated that the studies of Dante's esotericism during 1920s reached a new level of quality, which was adequate to the contemporary scientific requirements for Dante studies: in Italy, this happened in the person of Luigi Valli and his students, Arturo Reghini and then Julius Evola; and in France, at the same time, in the person of René Guénon. The criticism of Valli in the works by Guénon is analyzed in detail. The context of Dante's interpretation by Guénon is revealed in connection with the issue of Templar, Rosicrucian and Islamic influences (Sufism, Arab Neoplatonism). In this respect, a significant difference of tones was observed in the perception of Dante's esotericism within the general paradigm of integral traditionalism between Guénon and his Italian colleagues Julius Evola and especially Guido de Giorgio, whose fundamental work is still unknown to Russian scholars. An intense politicization of the perception of Dante's heritage by Evola and de Giorgio is also remarked in this article. Special attention is then paid to the study of Dante's esotericism by one of the leading Roman Catholic theologian of the twentieth century, Romano Guardini, who engaged a polemic correspondence with the integral traditionalists. Based on the results of our study, it was concluded that the research of Dante's esotericism by French and Italian authors for more than a hundred years can be characterized as a continuous chain of dialogue and polemics of various authors who knew about each other's works and used the appropriate links.

The article discusses the evolution of views on the problem of compensation for moral harm in Russian and foreign Civil doctrine. The author analyzes the features of the position on the issue of compensation for moral harm, expressed by Professor S. M. Korneev, as well as the approaches of modern law enforcement practice in cases of compensation for moral harm. The article shows the origin of the problem of compensation for moral harm in Roman law on the example of the so-called claims for insult. The possibility of compensation for moral harm in the Middle Ages was practically denied, largely due to the prevailing doctrine of restitution. Subsequently, the legislation on compensation for non-pecuniary damage was most developed in England. Ample opportunities to compensate for non-property damage to the victim began to be provided in France and Italy. In more conservative countries - Germany and Austria, as a result, they also recognized the legality of compensation for non-pecuniary damage. In Russia, it was initially possible to observe the beginnings of this institution, in the USSR they were gone. Compensation for moral harm became possible only during the period of "perestroika". The current Russian legislation not only recognizes compensation for non-property damage, but also provides for a wide frameworks for its application.
