Islamic Numismatics in Russian Turkestan (Imperial period, c. 1867-1917)

The following brief survey deals with the numismatic activity in Russian Turkestan (later called Middle Asia) within the early colonial period from the annexation in the late 1860s and till the ‘October revolution’of 1917, reviewing a succession of related events and pointing at some most noticeable personalities in the field, both Russian and indigenous. Particular attention is paid to the public state of affairs, which triggered the rise of amateur collecting of antiquities in the region, aimed at search, study and market trade of medieval artefacts, including (perhaps basically) Islamic coins, and later forming the solid base for the development of advanced scholarly numismatics of medieval and pre-modern Central Asia in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia

Adam Reinhold Schiewe---A Cross-Border Man of Faith: A Baptist Trailblazer in Estonia, Poland, Ukraine, Germany, and Russia

This study aimed at compiling a biography of the preacher Adam Reinhold Schiewe (1843–1930). Schiewe ministered in the territories of present-day Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, and Estonia. His historical significance lies primarily in the formal founding of the first Baptist congregation in Estonia. Schiewe wrote memoirs of his life and is featured in a large number of fragmentary, at times even contradictory, sources. The author pointed out the inaccuracies found therein and reconstructed a plausible biography. The study was originally written in Estonian and was supported by a single scholarship from the ESF programme DoRa activity 8

He developed his philosophical psychology in the context of his time—in particular, under the influence of Hermann Lotze
