the mission was related not only to his own research tasks, but also to the Academy of Sciences and the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs’ plans to establish scientific collaboration with Turkey.
The article discusses trip organization, its initiators, goals, its results and significance in the Academy of Sciences’ international activities, and the strengthening of links between the two countries. The research is based on documents from the St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the RAS and the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Federation, the scholar’s correspondence and publications. The author concludes that the voyage may be regarded as one of the first steps the Academy took to establish cooperation with Turkey. Its history proves that in the early 1920s, the Soviet foreign policy department actively resorted to one of the soft power instruments in international diplomacy – academic visits to create an attractive image of the country and
reinforce the Soviet influence in Turkey.
Резюме: В литературе об академике В.В. Бартольде информация о его поездке в Турцию в 1926 г. весьма краткая и основана на его отчете, представленном в Академию наук, и очерке, написанном для журнала «Научный работник». В этих публикациях ученый указал, что был командирован Академией наук в ответ на предложение турецкого министерства просвещения, поддержанного Наркоматом иностранных дел. В качестве цели поездки Бартольд назвал изучение восточных рукописей, хранящихся в стамбульских библиотеках. Одновременно, по просьбе турецкой, стороны он занимался составлением университетского курса по истории тюркских народов Средней Азии. Новые архивные материалы детализируют и уточняют этот сюжет и показывают, что поездка Бартольда была связана не только с собственными исследовательскими программами, но и с планами Академии наук СССР и Наркомата иностранных дел по установлению научного сотрудничества с Турцией. Цель статьи: рассмотреть историю организации командировки Бартольда, ее инициаторов, мотивации, цели, проанализировать результаты поездки и ее значение в контексте международной деятельности Академии наук и укрепления культурного сотрудничества двух стран в этот период. Исследование базируется на документах Санкт-Петербургского филиала Архива РАН (Ф. 2, 68 и др.) и Архива Внешней политики РФ (Ф. 04), переписке и публикациях ученого. Автор статьи приходит к выводу, что рассматриваемая командировка Бартольда является одним из первых шагов Академии наук по налаживанию научного взаимодействия с Турцией. Кроме того, история ее организации свидетельствует об активном обращении советского внешнеполитического ведомства в начале 1920-х гг. к одному из действенных инструментов мягкой силы в международной дипломатии-командировкам авторитетных ученых для создания привлекательного образа страны и усиления советского культурного влияния, в данном случае, в Турции-важном международном партнере СССР.

А н н о т а ц и я : Публикация представляет собой продолжение истории командировки академика В.В. Бартольда в Турцию в первой половине 1926 г. Частично поездка нашла отражение в дневнике ученого, который он вел с 3 января по 16 февраля 1926 г. Несмотря на небольшой объем и краткость записей, они очень информативны и являются ценным источником для изучения научной деятельности Бартольда. Дневники свидетельствуют, что основным занятием академика в этот период являлось изучение восточных рукописей в библиотеках Стамбула. Кроме того, он много общался с турецкими и европейскими учеными, работавшими в то время в Турции, и по поручению Академии наук СССР обсуждал с ними возможность организации совместных исследовательских проектов. На страницах дневника также отражена подготовка Бартольда к поездке в Баку для участия в Первом Всесоюзном тюркологическом съезде. Представленные сведения позволяют детализировать исследовательскую работу Бартольда в Турции и его деятельность по укреплению научного сотрудничества двух стран.

side, and studying Oriental manuscripts in Istanbul libraries. Besides, he was busy carrying out the mission entrusted to him by the Academy of Sciences, to establish academic contacts with Turkish researchers. The period of Bartold’s stay in Constantinople (Istanbul) from January 2 to February 17, was reflected in his small diary. In daily entries, the Academician thoroughly recorded events,
meetings with Turkish and European researchers, made brief notes about manuscripts and libraries. He also noted his impressions of scientific institutions and changes in the cultural space of the former Ottoman capital. The research visit of the renowned orientalist Academician V.V. Bartold to Turkey was an important contribution to strengthening scholarly contacts between Russian and Turkish researchers. The part of the diary from January 2 to January 14, 1926, in which Bartold describes the
first two weeks of his stay in Constantinople, is published as an appendix.

privacy is the so-called “kruzhok” (a little circle in Russian). The article examines the history of the formation and activity of one of such “kruzhoks”, formed in the 1880s–1890s around Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich, who was seriously engaged in research in the field of lepidopterology (the branch of entomology studying
butterflies, Lepidoptera). The role and significance of this “kruzhok” for the development of descriptive entomology in the situation of its weak institutionalization in Russia at the end of the XIX century are briefly considered, the course of scientific
research of the Grand Duke and his entourage and the reasons for the termination of their activity are discussed. The history of this informal association is interpreted by us as a manifestation of the purposeful life-making of the Grand Duke, who thus tried
to professionalize his hobby and enter the scientific community of entomologists on an equal footing, without breaking with his social environment and without going beyond the behavioral norms established by society for persons of his status. It is shown that the Nikolai Mikhailovich’s “kruzhok” became not only an instrument
of his life-making, but also an influential center of Russian lepidopterology, the development of which was thereby given a powerful impetus.
The work focuses on materials from the State Archive of the Russian Federation and P. Kozlov’s expedition diaries, the objectives set be articulated via individual gift donation stories (occasions) with Mongolian elites and the 13th Dalai Lama, corresponding motives and offering forms. Results: The paper shows the gift-giving practices were viewed by the traveler not only as some homage be paid to local cultures but rather as a means of communication with Mongolian officials and authorities for the latter’s assistance in solving problems faced by the Expedition. No other Russian explorer ever delivered such high-value items to have been used as gifts. Conclusions: This suggests the Bolshevik Government was hoping — with the help of Kozlov’s expedition — to facilitate positive images of Soviet Russia in Mongolia and Tibet (during a scheduled meeting with the Dalai Lama). The Appendix to the article includes several documents from the State Archive of Russia describing the selected gifts and their distribution by individuals.
(lepidopterology, the discipline studying butterflies, Lepidoptera), carried out in the late 19th century by Nikolai Mikhailovich, Grand Duke of Russia (1859–1919), and his closest associates who formed a scientific circle (“kruzhok”). We review the origins of the Grand Dukeʼs fascination with natural science, his research in the field of lepidopterology, and his activities devoted to assembling the largest private collection of butterflies in Russia. Nikolai Mikhailovich’s publications in entomology
as well as his work on the voluminous Mémoires sur les Lépidoptères in 9 volumes (1884–1901) are characterized. The authors discuss the motives for creating the Grand Dukeʼs entomological circle, its lines of work and membership, its achievements, and the causes of its dissolution at the very end of the 19th century. Nikolai Mikhailovich together with the small community of enthusiasts, brought together by him, played an important role in the development of entomology (descriptive lepidopterology) in the
Russian Empire. The history of the kruzhok’s formation and activities is of undoubted interest for the historians of science as a successful example of the “private” form of organization of scientific research, an alternative to government and public initiatives.
in the context of environmental conditions and geological history of the region under study. This method was successfully used by him to process the findings of his 1889-1890 expedition to Central Asia. Unfortunately, his innovative approach has not been met with broad acceptance among his colleagues, which was probably one of the reasons for his departure from being extensively engaged in the studies on Lepidoptera in the early 1890s and turning to the studies on the geography of Central Asia and the history of its nations.
This article offers a brief biography of Grumm-Grzhimailo anda general overview of his contributions to lepidopterology, and briefly reviews his personal and scientific relationship with Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich and other entomologists from his circle of amateur entomologists. Grumm-Grzhimailo’s works on the taxonomy and zoogeography of Macrolepidoptera retain their scientific value to this day, which is also true for his collections that reflect the state of the butterfly fauna of Central Asia in the late 19th century before the beginning of intensive development of this region.
with the St. Petersburg branch of the Institute of History of Science and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IHST RAS; until 1991 — the Leningrad branch of the IHST), where she worked for almost 50 years. The publication examines the conditions in which the personality of the future historian of science was formed, motivations and circumstances that determined the choice of a profession, research priorities, and briefly analyzes the main directions of activity and works of
yu.Kh. Kopelevich and their importance for the study of the history of the Academy of Sciences. It is shown that classical philological education, knowledge of Latin and foreign languages, the ability to read manuscripts of the 18th century and professional ethics determined the uniqueness and high scientific level of her works on the history of formation and the early days of the Academy of Sciences’ activities. The works of yu.Kh. Kopelevich continued the academic traditions laid down by her predecessors and marked the beginning of a new stage in the development of the history of the
Academy of Sciences — its social aspects.
Particular attention is paid to the trip to Turkey of academicians N. Ya. Marr and A. N. Samoylovich at the personal invitation of the first president of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal, in 1933. This trip was especially important for the development of Soviet-Turkish scientific contacts, and its main result was the creation of the Commission for the Promotion of Scientific Relations with Turkey (Turkish Commission) of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1933.

В статье описывается история Совместной российско-монгольской палеонтологической экспедиции (СРМПЭ), её деятельность и основные результаты. Организации экспедиции в 1969 г. (тогда советско-монгольской) предшествовала большая и продолжительная работа по продвижению этой
идеи в академических и государственных инстанциях. Совместная экспедиция закладывалась как комплексная и по характеру задач, и по тактике их выполнения. В результате СРМПЭ стала крупнейшей экспедицией в истории палеонтологии. Осуществлявшиеся в её рамках раскопки дали важнейшие научные материалы и значительно пополнили палеонтологические коллекции музеев Москвы и Улан-Батора. СРМПЭ стала базой для развития палеонтологии в Монголии, подготовки научных кадров высшей квалификации для России и Монголии.

The collection of articles examines the activities of several leading Mongolian and Russian academics who worked in Mongolia and for Mongolia from 1920 to 1950. It describes the unique character of the origins and development of Mongolian-Russian scholarly cooperation as well its contribution to Mongolian Studies. Based on research in various archives, the authors shed new light on twentieth century Mongolian history, the activities of the Mongolian Scientific Committee and its cooperation with Russian scholars and scientific institutions. The chapters also highlight the sincere personal interests of the Russian scientists in their work in Mongolia and in their contacts with Mongolian colleagues.
Appended to the volume are letters of the academic secretary of the Mongolian Scientific Committee Ts.J. Zhamtsarano to the permanent secretary of the Russian Academy of Sciences S.F. Oldenburg and those from the Orientalist M.I. Tubiansky to the Buddhologist F.I. Stcherbatskoi. This correspondence shows the process of formation of the Russian-Mongolian cooperation in the first decades of the Mongolian Scientific Committee.

China, which had been originally visited and excavated by Kozlov in 1908–1909. The difficult fate of the journey reflected, on the one hand, the complexity of relationship
of the expedition staff and its leader with the new Soviet administration, and, on the other hand, the radical change of the methods of exploration of Mongolia. The edition includes photographs as illustrations of the expedition activities.

The unique archeological and scientific collections brought by him have enriched the museums of Russia and laid foundation for new disciplines in Oriental studies (Tangut studies) and archeology (Hun studies). At the same time the bright and many-sided personality
of P. K. Kozlov played important role in popularization of Russian geographic discoveries, rise of public interest to the discovered regio
