The objective of this thesis is to examine the history of Oriental studies in Russia from the beginning of the first Russian interaction with Oriental societies to the end of the 19th century. In particular, the thesis attempts to explain under what conditions Russia had started conducting research on the language, history, geography and culture of the East and how Russian Oriental studies evolved from the practical aims to the academic goals. The central hypothesis of this thesis is that there is a close relationship between Russian Oriental studies and Russia&rsquo / s expansion to the East. Therefore, this thesis is an attempt to understand effects of Russian diplomatic, religious, military and of course academic goals on the Oriental studies.

Orientador: Carlos Alberto Sampaio Barbosa / Banca: Mariana Martins Villaça / Banca: Carlos Eduardo Jordão Machado / Resumo: Temos no filme Viva Zapata! (1952) o eixo central desta pesquisa, através da qual buscamos iluminar as relações entre cinema, cultura e política norte-americana dos anos cinqüenta, além de questionar como este cinema forma uma visão sobre o outro - nesse caso, os mexicanos. Produzido e lançado nos Estados Unidos em meio ao macartismo - oposição e perseguição aos comunistas, decorrente da Guerra Fria - é dirigido pelo cineasta Elia Kazan e tem como roteirista John Steinbeck, importante romancista norte-americano. Suas temáticas dialogam com a cultura e a política da época, os quais buscamos resgatar através deste estudo. Ainda, sendo um filme norte-americano sobre o México, nos possibilita questionar como este país e seu povo são representados - e ir além, analisando como se formam as visões dos outros no imaginário norte-americano, visão esta que se reflete através de manifestações culturais, como o cinema / Abstract: The film Viva Zapata! (1952) is the central axis of the present study, through which we tried to highlight the relationships among North American cinema, culture and politics in the 1950s, as well as to question how this cinema forms the view about the other - in this case, the Mexicans. Produced and launched in the United States during McCarthyism - opposition and persecution to communists due to Cold War -, that film was directed by the filmmaker Elia Kazan and had as writer John Steinbeck, an important North American novelist. Its themes dialogue with the culture and the politics of that period, which we tried to rescue through this study. In addition, it is a North-American film about Mexico, which allows us to question how this country and its people are represented - as well as to analyze how the view about the others is formed in the North American imagination, since this view is reflected through cultural manifestations such as cinema / Mestre

Protestants often think that 1he ROC has no mission just because Orthodoxy pays to more attention to Service life. We tried to understand motives, goals and objectives of the ROC missionary activity. We found out that the ecclesiologic way of thinking was the basis missionary idea of the eastern missionary practice and it showed itself differently in special historical moments. This work divides the whole history of the Orthodox Church in Russia (XI - XX centuries) into 3 periods of mission and makes its brief survey and analysis. In the first period (XI-XVI) only single monks-colonialists realized the Great Commission among Finnish tribes and russifed it Only certain people used the methods of well planned contextualizating mission, like Stephen of Penn. During the second period (1552-middl.XIX) the ROC worked in close combination with the State to the detriment of the deep evangelization of natives. In the third period (the middle of XIX- the beginning of XX) the missionaries of Orthodox Missionary Society used all the achievements of the native and foreign missionary: contextualization, Liturgies in the national languages. enlightenment by schools of all levels, the training of national leaders, social work ets. At the present time, the ROC is renewing its own mission tradition after the sleep of the Soviet period. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

В рамках исследования были выделены общие и особенные мотивы, использующиеся в соответствии с авторским целеполаганием, соотнесена сюжетная составляющая памятников в соответствии с проблемами исторических ситуаций. Для более полного понимания вопроса были изучены некоторые аспекты урбанистики, что позволило увидеть своеобразие средневекового взгляда на город, а также были привлечены тексты Священного писания для более полного понимания всех смыслов, вкладываемых средневековым человеком в понятие города. / The topic of this dissertation is "The fall and rebirth of the "city and the world" in the literature of the XV–XVII centuries", the work itself is devoted to understanding the theme of the fall of cities on the material of "The Tale of the destruction of Ryazan", "The Tale of the capture of Tsargrad" and "Kazan History". Within the framework of the study, general and special motives used in accordance with the author's goal-setting were identified, the plot component of monuments was correlated in accordance with the problems of historical situations.
