По приблизительным подсчетам, в 1920–1930-е годы Советскую Россию в составе делегаций и в индивидуальном порядке посетили около 100 тыс. иностранцев. К нам приезжали люди разных профессий, часто по собственной инициативе, для решения деловых вопросов, но нередко — из любопытства, дабы своими глазами увидеть, что представляет собой первое в мире пролетарское государство.

The article acquaints one with newly discovered Ottoman documents concerning the first capture of Buda by Sultan Suleiman I in 1526. The documents shed light on the events connected with handing over the keys of the fortress to the Ottoman ruler; this was done by Solomon, the son of Yasef, representative of the Jewish community in the city. Sultan Suleiman I granted privileges to this family which were confirmed by every following ruler up to the second half of the 19th c. In the course of time Solomon’s offspring scattered over the territory of the Balkan possessions of the Ottomans, and a branch of the family came to the town of Rousse. The official Ottoman documents presented in the article provide interesting details about the relations of these persons with the authorities and about their position in the Islamic Empire. This source material is of interest for the students of the early Ottoman conquests in Central Europe and for those who are interested in the history of the Jews in the Balkan lands.

Французский генерал Морис Жанен — наиболее известный из военачальников стран Антанты, принимавших участие в интервенции в Россию во время Гражданской войны. Правда, известность эта вызвана довольно сомнительной славой человека, ответственного за гибель в начале 1920 г верховного правителя России адмирала А. В. Колчака. Тем не менее карьера Жанена была в существенной части связана с Россией, а должности, занимаемые в тот период, — наивысшими за все время его военной службы. Именно этим определяется интерес историков Первой мировой и Гражданской войн к французскому генералу.

The purpose of the article. On the basis of current scientific achievements, the role of the editor of the scientific journal is considered. Methodology. The article is a narrative review of the literature. The methods of analysis, classification, and generalization, as well as a systematic approach, were used in the review. The methodology used made it possible to comprehensively analyze the roles of the editor of a scientific journal. The scientific novelty is to broaden the perception of the editor’s role in the editorial and publishing process. Conclusions. The editor of the scientific journal acts as the gatekeeper of science, organizer, consultant, and recruiter. In the role of gatekeeper, the editor filters the results of scientific research, selecting the ones that will be published. As the organizer, the editor is responsible for the interaction of all participants of the editorial and publishing process and the strategy for the development of the journal, initiates the journal’s entry into scientific-metric databases, and establishes external links of the journal. As a consultant, the editor helps the authors improve the quality of the manuscripts, and in the role of recruiter he or she forms the editorial board, appoints reviewers, invites new authors to collaborate. In general, the editor’s roles are reduced to supporting the interests and interaction of four stakeholders: the founder of the journal, the author, reviewers, and the reader. The identity of the editor is invisible when the editorial and publishing system works smoothly. However, in problematic situations, for example, when an unreasonable decision is made regarding the manuscript when the reviewer receives an inappropriate manuscript for examination when there are not enough articles to fill the volume when conflicts and misunderstandings arise between the participants of the editorial and publishing process, the editor has to balance the needs, opportunities, and requirements of all stakeholders. In addition, the editor is responsible for adhering to the principles of academic integrity.

The restoration of traditional Bulgarian clothing (garments) from the end of the 19thand the beginning of the 20th century requires a specific approach, concerning the intervention itself. Every reinforcement, every repair, every retouching with the needle and thread must be so well made that it gives durability of use over time and does not differ from the general vision. Traditional approaches to restoration techniques arenot always appropriate enough for this type of intervention. Owners of such clothing,stored in chests of drawers and closets, require for it to be useable afterwards. The authentic costume, that is about to live its second life, must remain soft, flexible and strong. These qualities are not necessary for a museum exhibit. There, the approach is rather conservative. The retouch in the restoration intervention is the final stage of the professional work on the original. In the case of privately owned costumes,the approach is rather different. Even the base on which the retouching will be done should be as close as possible to the original in terms of structure, texture and color,so that the intervention will be barely noticeable. At the same time, in retouching, the restoration must be strong enough to withstand further use of the costume.
