B. P. Mansurov’s Trip to East in 1856—1857

The article deals with the activities of the official of the Maritime Ministry B. P. Mansurov, sent in 1856 by Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich to the Turkish East in order to compile a guide for pilgrims and collect information about their situation in Palestine. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that Mansurov's activities marked the beginning of the construction of infrastructure for Russian pilgrims, called ‘Russian Palestine’. The material for the study are three reports by Mansurov. It is shown that the first report was dictated by the rivalry between the Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich and the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs A. M. Gorchakov. Attention is paid to the second version of the report, handed over to the emperor and ministers, in which criticism of the Foreign Ministry was smoothed over. Particular attention is paid to the fact that, under the influence of Gorchakov, Mansurov tried to remove the most acute political problems from the third version of the report, which was already sent to senior officials. It is proved that Mansurov’s report received a wide response and became the subject of consideration by the Committee of Ministers. The issue of the further fate of Mansurov’s report, published in the form of a book entitled “Orthodox worshipers in Palestine”, which was supposed to draw attention to the problem of pilgrims and raise funds to help them, is considered

Russian “Jerusalem Project” of Mid-19th Century : Activities of B. P. Mansurov and Russian Society of Shipping and Trade

The activity of the official of the Maritime Ministry B. P. Mansurov as an agent of the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade is considered. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in 1857—1860 the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade combined the tasks of setting up new transport lines in the East and caring for Russian pilgrims. It is noted that Mansurov’s activities marked the beginning of the construction of Russian Palestine. It is shown that Mansurov’s reports became the main documents of the “Jerusalem Project”, designed to unite different departments in order to strengthen Russia’s influence in the East. It is emphasized that Mansurov drew the attention of both the authorities and the Russian society to the situation of the pilgrims and contributed to the successful construction of Russian Palestine. The novelty of the research lies in the introduction of new documents into the scientific circulation, allowing to trace the history of relations between Mansurov and the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade, the reasons and process of the shipping company's exit from the Jerusalem Project, financing of the care of pilgrims by the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade

Physical and recreational preventing measure technology of disturbances in the cordial and vascular system of students

Our aim is to prove scientifically and to check experimentally physical and recreational technology dosages of motive loads of the students, who have disturbances in cardiovascular system. The carried out researches demonstrate the general positive influence of the developed sport improving technology of dispensing of motive loads of the students, who have changes in cardiovascular system and its influence on somatic healt

Comparative study of correlation effects in CaVO3 and SrVO3

We present parameter-free LDA+DMFT (local density approximation + dynamical mean field theory) results for the many-body spectra of cubic SrVO3 and orthorhombic CaVO3. Both systems are found to be strongly correlated metals, but not on the verge of a metal-insulator transition. In spite of the considerably smaller V-O-V bond angle in CaVO3 the LDA+DMFT spectra of the two systems for energies E<E_F are very similar, their quasiparticle parts being almost identical. The calculated spectrum for E>E_F shows more pronounced, albeit still small, differences. This is in contrast to earlier theoretical and experimental conclusions, but in good agreement with recent bulk-sensitive photoemission and x-ray absorption experiments.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
