Wenn es sich also bei diesem dritten Jahrhundertviertel auch um keine abgeschlossene Epoche handelt, so verspricht seine Betrachtung doch Aufschluß über die institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen einer entscheidenden musikgeschichtlichen Weichenstellung: Gab es vor 1750 noch kein einziges musikalisches Bühnenwerk in russischer Sprache, so bringt das folgende Vierteljahrhundert nicht nur den ersten russischen Operntypus überhaupt – die russifizierte \"opera seria\" –, sondern auch seine Überwindung zugunsten der russischen komischen Oper, die die Produktion der folgenden Jahrzehnte dominiert und im 19. Jahrhundert zur russischen Nationaloper führt.

Das "Rossijskij institut istorii iskusstv" (Russisches Institut für die Geschichte der Künste) in St. Petersburg ist neben dem Moskauer "Institut iskusstvoznanija" das zweite russische Forschungsinstitut im geisteswissenschaftlichen Bereich. Obwohl um einiges älter als die seit 1944 existierende Moskauer Einrichtwlg vergleichbaren Zuschnitts - es wurde 1912 vom Grafen Zubov in seinem Palais gegenüber der Isaaks-Kathedrale gegründet - ist das Petersburger Institut im Westen wenig beachtet worden. Die wechselvolle Geschichte dieser Forschungsinstitution, die als Wiege der Formalistenschule um Viktor Sklovskij in die Annalen der modernen Geisteswissenschaften eingegangen ist, bedürfte noch einer eingehenden Untersuchung, wie sie hier nicht geleistet werden kann.

In den letzten Jahren hat die russische Musikwissenschaft die internationalen Ursprünge der russischen Musikkultur erneut zum Gegenstand ihres Interesses gemacht. Das betrifft insbesondere St. Petersburg, die \"europäischste\" Stadt Rußlands, die seit ihrer Gründung 1703 ausländische Mentalitäten gleichsam in sich aufsog.

In this article I would like to attract attention to the personality of Ludwig Wilhelm Maurer. As a brilliant virtuoso violinist, known in Russia since 1817, conductor of the French theatre in St. Petersburg since 1835, inspector of all Emperor theatres since 1841 and conductor of the Philharmonic and Concert societies, Ludwig Maurer was an advocate of the classic inheritance.

Quase três séculos já se passaram desde que a primeira versão do chamado paradoxo de São Petersburgo chegou aos meios acadêmicos através do trabalho de Daniel Bernoulli. Contudo, a relevância desse assunto ainda reverbera em artigos científicos atuais em diversas áreas do conhecimento (notadamente, mas não exclusivamente, na Economia e na Estatística). Um jogo de enunciado simples cuja esperança matemática dos ganhos do jogador surpreendentemente é infinita, entretanto, dificilmente alguém estaria disposto a pagar qualquer taxa de entrada cobrada para jogá-lo. No presente trabalho buscou-se em primeiro lugar apresentar uma análise crítica do desenvolvimento histórico das \"soluções\" propostas para o paradoxo. Em seguida mostrou-se uma aplicação direta do paradoxo a um modelo matemático utilizado até hoje para avaliar o preço justo de ações. Por fim, revisaram-se alguns resultados obtidos pela moderna teoria da probabilidade através da convergência em probabilidade. / It has been almost three centuries since the first version of the so-called St. Petersburg Paradox has reached the academic environment through the work of Daniel Bernoulli. However, the relevance of this subject still reverberates in new scientific papers in many knowledge fields (especially, but not exclusively, in Economics and Statistics). A game with a simple rule in which the mathematical expectation of the player\'s gains is unexpectedly infinite but hardly someone would be willing to pay any asked entrance fee to play it. In this work we pursued at first to present a critical analysis on the historical development of the proposed \"solutions\" to the paradox. After that, we showed an application of the paradox to a mathematical model, that is still in use today, to obtain a fair price of a stock share. At last we reviewed some results given by the modern probability theory through the convergence in probability.

Since the introduction of automobiles to Florida in the 1900s, highways have been integral to the state's economy. In the 1950s, statewide limited-access highway projects were introduced in the form of a state-operated turnpike and the national Interstate highway system. This paper traces the simultaneous development of both expressway systems, outlining the previous condition of Florida's highways, the initiatives taken by Florida's governors, and especially the role of William C. Cramer of St. Petersburg, Florida's first Republican United States Congressman since Reconstruction. In the House of Representatives, as a ranking member of the Roads Subcommittee of the Public Works Committee, Cramer played a prominent role in shaping federal highway policies, addressing corruption in highway politics, keeping Interstates toll-free, and preventing highway funds from being diverted to other programs. He battled proponents of the Sunshine State Parkway, which ran parallel to designated Interstate routes and threatened to make them unfeasible. As the capstone to his public works career, Cramer secured additional mileage to provide for the 'missing link' between Tampa Bay and Miami, which had not been authorized in the original federal outlays. The designation extended a route through St. Petersburg.
