The article considers public monuments in a rhetorical perspective – as manifestations of local identity, or statements about the nature and mission of the city. It is demonstrated that there exist two competing monumental rhetorics in the urban environment of Perm. The industrial-military rhetoric unites an extensive group of monuments dating back to the Soviet era and those newly erected. Such monuments inscribe Perm into the heroic discourse of the Soviet epoch. Although the soviet memorial policy used to be universal for the whole state, in Perm it is not lacking for local individuality. Here, in particular, instruments of production and sample armament are displayed in the function of monuments. An alternative to this industrial-military rhetoric could be viewed in that of ‘Perm the Great’ (Perm’ Velikaya). It aggregates monuments appealing to the archaic heritage and ancient history of Perm Krai. This group of monuments suggests an image of Perm as a successor to the ancient culture, a city that made a special contribution to the history of Russian culture. Rhetoric of ‘Perm the Great’ was actively developed in the 2000-s. One of its distinctive features is the motive of Permian animal style. These are employed both in sculpture and in architectural decorum. The article establishes that the urban environment development highlights the multi layered and multidimensional nature of the city identity and its irreducibilty to a common denominator. Likewise, territory images construction, though sometimes acquiring a form of the search for a metaphysical substance of a city, such as Genius Loci, is in fact a ground for struggle and competition of various social, professional and political groups.

This paper presents an empirical research on the “relationship between creativity, artwork quality assessment and students’ intellectual maturity” (N = 150). Тhe research used the following instruments: the Goodenough–Harris Draw-a-Person test of intellectual maturity, a battery of tests for examining creativity, an insight into students’ artwork based on which the quality assessment was made and a specially formulated questionnaire for examining students’ socio-demographic characteristics. The statistical analysis has shown that there is a positive correlation between intellectual maturity and general creativity, as well as a positive correlation between intellectual maturity and artwork quality assessment. The results of the research did not confirm the existence of statistically significant differences in the level of creativity and the artwork quality assessment in relation to students’ socio-economic status.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the “Narrative About a Young Man and the Magician” (also known as a “Homily About Mesites the Magician”), which was part of several Old Russian miscellanea and originated from Greek. The narrative is examined from the standpoint of plot-building issues, with regard to both the original text and the changes that were introduced by the Slavonic translators and editors. The authors reveal a specific narrative structure in which the elements of one set of plot features are mirrored or duplicated in another narrative. They also trace the distinctive features of two different Greek versions reflected in the translations, such as a change in the narrative focus in the original version. A significant feature of one of the Slavonic translations is the adaptation to the Old Russian miscellany (Prolog), of which it happened to be a part. Another feature that must be noted is the appearance of the idea of God’s obligation to the righteous in the Slavonic version. A parallel is drawn between this narrative and the “Narrations Useful to the Soul” (a sub-genre of Byzantine hagiography), which contain a tale about the penitent thief. The fate of these texts in both Greek and Slavic literature seems almost the same: they existed in two versions in Greek literature, and both versions of these texts were translated into Slavonic. Later, these translations were included in the Slavonic miscellanea of Prolog and Svodny Paterik. There are also a number of parallels in terms of content, of which the most important one is the discussion of the ways of salvation for laymen considered outside the formal ecclesiastical paradigm that assumes a form of non-typical holiness. Yet despite the similarities in style and partly in content, the “Narrative About a Young Man and the Magician” has a more sophisticated plot than the tale about the penitent thief on account of duplicated plot motifs that align it with the literary narrative genre.

The possibility for validation of knowledge and skills in the work environment has been considered and a constructive differentiated system, star class qualification for a specific position has been proposed. Education is focused on market demand and the possibility of establishing a link between secondary and higher education, credit recognition in certain disciplines, and creating opportunities for upgrading in the profession and certification of knowledge and skills. We are looking for an opportunity for freedom in education, duality and class in business training, which will materialize in adequate financial remuneration for the work invested.

In this article the authors indicate postgraduate postgraduate strategies of large regional university graduates; among these strategies the most important ones could be the student’s choice of the job, the desire to continue their education, or not work at all. The authors focus on the gender dimension of modern attitudes, values and desires of students. The study was conducted among graduate students of nine faculties and institutes of the Lobachevskiy State University of Nizhniy Novgorod.

From the 1990s onward, the issues of postcolonial discourse have served to formulate the problems of otherness which globalization has brought to the fore. Thus, the entry into the global art world turns out to be the post-socialist art scene entry into the postcolonial discourse of otherness. In the article hereby the author is trying to demonstrate the way in which two principally different discourses – the post-socialist one and the postcolonial one occur on the territory of the local-global. Although the otherness of post-socialist, East European cultures is closely related to that of the postcolonial, these artistic scenes resist the requirement of locality and diversity, opposing the idea of universality as a form of criticism.
