The paper is devoted to study the problems of relationship between Church and Grand Prince’s power in Muscovy of early 16^th c.  The author focuses his attention on a person of Vassian Sanin, archbishop of Rostov (on the chair on 1506–1515).

The article examines the conflict between the episcopal nobleman Mikhail Okulov and hunters from the Mezen Incovy, which occurred in 1688. Thanks to the identified set of sources, it was possible to uncover a number of important phenomena of the daily life of the Russian North at the end of the 17^th century. These are the schism in the Russian Orthodox Church and the practice of combating Old Believers, the use of witchcraft in the hunting of Novaya Zemlya, as well as patronage in resolving judicial conflicts. The role of social interrelations in resolving conflict situations at the local (Okladnikova Sloboda, Mezen district) and regional (Kholmogory) levels is shown.

The history of the Peter the Great era has repeatedly attracted the attention of researchers. Many documents on this topic have already been introduced into scientific circulation, but they are still scattered and it is difficult to imagine the overall picture based on them. Fundamentally new data for the study of Peter's settlements is provided by the complex of parish and expense books of the Rostov Metropolitan Joasaph's monastery, which I have identified in the fund of the Monastery Order of the Russian Academy of Sciences (f. 237). As part of the archive file (d. 20), 25 documents related to the work of the kumpanstvo from 1697 to 1700 have come down to us. They allow us to comprehensively examine the mechanisms of its operation and cover a fairly wide range of issues: financing the construction of ships, the organization of shipbuilding management in Voronezh, the interaction of the leadership of the Rostov Shipyard with government officials, the circle of persons involved in the construction of the fleet, the stages of construction work and the daily life of representatives of the shipyard at the Voronezh shipyard. Using a specific example, the author reveals the role of the Church in fulfilling the most important state tasks set by Peter I.

The article is devoted to the problem of typology of old Cyrillic printed publications and the use of their individual types in the pedagogical process in the XVII – XVIII centuries. Due to the multifunctionality of old printed books, which is a consequence of medieval syncretism, only the nature of the notes left on them by generations of owners, readers, contributors, etc. can show for what purposes certain publications were used. These problems are considered in the context of the controversy between I.V. Pozdeeva and N.P. Kiselyov about the significance of books published in the 17th century. in Russia, for Russian culture in general and for education in particular.

The article considers the perception of the secret instructions of the first chief of gendarmes A.Кh. Benkendorf by the provincial gendarme officers of the 1820-1830s.

The author examines the ideas of the opposition public about the political role of the clergy during the First Russian Revolution of 1905-1907. The activity of a number of priests in the revolution (especially in its initial period) led to a serious revision of the intelligentsia's view of the political possibilities of church representatives. However, subsequent events led the opposition to disappointment in their new ally.

The article examines the extent to which scientific and technical progress accelerating during the First World War led to “communication revolution” that radically accelerated diplomatic correspondence channels, thereby ensuring a new speed and quality of foreign policy decision making. The focus is on the development of the communication mechanisms between the Plenipotentiary representation of Soviet Russia in Berlin, which operated from April to November 1918, and the Kremlin. These mechanisms represented a unique combination of both old means of communication – diplomatic mail – and new technology – teletype. Based on the analysis of their practical use, a conclusion is made that Soviet diplomacy mastered technical innovations “on the fly” within a few months, which was an important factor for ensuring a “peaceful breathing space” for Soviet Russia.

The article analyzes the inspection journey of K. E. Voroshilov to the Far East in 1931. During the trip, Voroshilov visited military and industrial facilities in the Volga region, the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East. Based on archival documents, the author proves that the main purpose of his journey was to evaluate the process and results of industrialization and militarization of the USSR in defense preparations against the aggression of imperialist powers.

The article considers strategies of interaction of historians with ideological processes, that occurred in Soviet historical science in the early 1930s. It compares the approaches of S.A. Piontkovsky and N.L. Rubinshtein. Piontkovsky is known for his tactic of active participating in these processes, while Rubinshtein follows a passive approach that involves maximizing the use of authoritative quotes.

The article reconstructs the history of the fight against the epidemic of «social diseases» (pulmonary tuberculosis, syphilis and gonorrhea) from the point of view of eyewitnesses - doctors and organizers of the soviet health care who worked in the Ural Oblast at the turn of the 1920-1930s, based on materials (articles, notes, reports) published on the pages of «Ural Medical Journal» (1928-1931). Research methods: content analysis of publications, problem-chronological, «subjective-historical» (from the standpoint of the feelings and moods of contemporaries). The increase in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was mainly provoked by the conditions of work, life and life of the urban and factory population (dusty and cramped industrial premises and dwellings, overcrowding, scarcity and monotony of nutrition, damp and humid air, lack of heat and sunlight, etc.). Favorable conditions for the spread of venereal diseases created a lack of elementary ideas about sexual hygiene among the population (especially in rural areas), the availability of casual intimate relationships (mainly «on the street»), a disregard for one’s own health, late appeal for qualified medical care and quack methods of treatment. The scale of the incidence of «consumption», «lues» and gonorrhea in the Urals exceeded the average russian indicators, and therefore, to combat «social diseases», a system of specialized health care institutions is being formed: tuberculosis dispensaries and sanatoriums, on the one hand, and venereological units, points and dispensaries – on the other.
