A NEW CONCEPT OF THE HUSSITE MOVEMENT IN THE MEDIEVAL CZECH КINGDOM IN L. P. LAPTEVAʼS HISTORIOGRAPHICAL WORKS OF THE LATE 1980S–1990S

State University, L.P. Laptevа (1926–2016), devoted to various aspects of the Hussite movement, which were published at the turn period of modern Russian history: in the late 1980s – 1990s. The author analyzes a new (at that time) concept of the Hussite movement in the medieval Czech Kingdom, which L. P. Lapteva tried to popularize in the USSR (and then in Russia) and considers the strengths and weaknesses of this interpretation of the Hussite movement in Russian historical literature. The first generation of Czechoslovak Marxist historians of the 1950s – early 1960s considered the Hussite movement an “early bourgeois revolution”. But in the mid 1960s this assessment of the movement was revised, and by (“intra-feudal revolution”). Historians of Czechoslovakia attributed both the Hussite movement and the Peasant War in Germany in 1525 to intra-feudal revolutions. L.P. Lapteva noted that, from the point of view of Czechoslovak historians, both of these phenomena were the predecessors of bourgeois revolutions. She also noted the disadvantages of this new concept of the Hussite movement. L.P. Lapteva drew attention to the fact that Czechoslovak historians could not give a precise definition of the term “revolution”, which they considered as the opposite of evolution, that is, as a leap in the development of society. In her opinion, Czechoslovak historiography did not develop a clear definition of the initial stage of the Hussite movement, the starting point of which dated back to 1399–1400. The author of the article supports and argues L. P. Lapteva’s concept with additional historical facts.

BORDER CITY OF BREST IN THE INTERWAR YEARS
UDC: 07.00.03
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Luciána Hoptová;
The city of Brest, which celebrates its 1000th anniversary this year, during its historical development witnessed a number of events that had a direct impact not only on the history of Belarus, but of the whole world. This city at different times bore different names – Berestye, Brest, Brest-Litovsk, and others. This was mainly due to the fact that the city in the process of its historical development was an integral part of various state units. Poland can be attributed to one of such states. In February 1919, the Polish government established power in the city of Brest- Litovsk. However, the city became part of Poland only after the signing of the Riga Peace Treaty in March 1921. Since 1923, the city had the official name of Brest-on-the-Bug (Polish – Brześć nad Bugiem). The power of Poland in the city remained until the beginning of the Second World War, i.e. until September 1939. After the Red Army liberated the territory of Western Belarus, the city of Brest, as well as other Belarusian cities and municipalities that were previously controlled by Poland, became part of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of the development of the city in the so-called Polish period (1919–1939). The analysis carried out is based primarily on documents and materials from the State Archive of the Brest Region, which were published in 2009. The publication contains 187 documents and materials relating to the development of the city of Brest in 1919–1939.

The article discusses the activities of a well-known figure in the education of the Mari ASSR N. P. Ventsenostsev, who in 1943–1946 was a Director of the Mari State Pedagogical Institute named after N. K. Krupskaya. In the complex and difficult stage of Institute development, he made a great contribution to the training of teachers for the Republic, the restoration of the University after the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against the Nazi invaders. The paper identifies the main milestones in the biography of a prominent teacher, and emphasizes the period when he held the position of Director, taking care of the needs of the Institute both in economic and scientific- educational sphere. Good deeds are not forgotten. In the mirror of history, they are reflected after many decades. N. P. Ventsenostsev began to work as the Director of the Mari State Pedagogical Institute named after N. K. Krupskaya in Kozmodemyansk. It was a time in the life of the Institute, when it was forced to evacuate from Yoshkar-Ola due to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. Material, educational base was strongly weakened and continued to deteriorate. Still, there were not enough training areas, offices. Great difficulties the Institute experienced with fuel, with electric lighting, with educational literature. The financial situation of teachers and students was also difficult. Despite the difficulties of wartime requirements for students did not decrease. Students used every opportunity to get solid and in-depth knowledge at the Institute. N. P. Ventsenostsev paid a lot of attention to subsidiary plot, all this required a lot of effort from the director. To solve many issues related to the activities of the Institute, the Director often had to go on business trips.

UDC: 02
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Tatyana A. Petrova;
The biography of this or that character, the analysis of the author’s concepts give characteristic of the person from the position of morality, cultural development, relationship with society. At the same time the experience of saving the memory of the figures of the library and information cycle is taken into account, therefore, for our research, the name of Petr Leontyevich Klementyev (31.10.1903–05.11.1949), a professional who worked for 10 years in the Republican scientific library (Yoshkar-Ola) from 1939 to 1949, was taken. His name was forgotten for decades. But in 2018 it was 115years since his birth, and we considered it necessary to recall this person. The personalities who made history were at all times among all nations. Library history is written by the work and deeds of employees, who are characterized by high creative activity, creative search, and interest in the development of a common cause. Strictly speaking, Petr Leontyevich Klementyev had all these qualities. In order to study the proposed topic, we considered it necessary to turn to one of the methods of modern humanitarian science – hermeneutics. In addition, methods of frontal selection of information, a comparative analysis of archival and published documents, a cross-examination of documents, a comparative-historical method and a cause-and-effect analysis were used. We studied written sources – official, narrative, personal. From public documents resolutions, orders, reports, protocols, official correspondence were studied. Among private documents autobiographies and memoirs were used. It should be said, that there were few documents, we had to collect information bit by bit, to generalize it, to analyze. Archival documents since 1801 (158 cases from 18 funds), funds of People's Commissariat of Education of the MASSR, of the MASSR Republican Scientific Library, of the Executive Committee of the City Soviet of People’s Deputies of Yoshkar-Ola, of Presidium of the Supreme Council of the MASSR, the personal record of P. L. Klementyev, materials of Republican newspapers of that period (8), the published sources (25), materials of regional archives (21), evidence of descendants were carefully studied. Beyond that consultations with experts were held, business trips to Zvenigovo, Oktyabrsky, Shelanger, Krasnogorsky were undertaken. The genealogic tree of the Klementyev family (since the end of XVIII century till present days) was made.
WILHELM KUBITSCHEK – AN AUSTRIAN SCHOLAR OF CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY
UDC: 930(092)
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Tomáš Klokner;
The paper provides a brief biography of the Austrian professor Wilhelm Kubitschek (1858–1936), whose scientific interests in the field of ancient history were extremely diverse. Most of his work was devoted to the field of numismatics, though he also dealt in studies of ancient chronology, geography, economic history and Greek and Roman epigraphy. He is, therefore, rightly considered to be one of the last Austrian polymaths. He left a strong imprint in the studies of antiquity which we should not forget about even more than 80 years after his death.

UDC: 347.23
Section: LAW
Authors: Lyubov E. Bagaeva; Zarina K. Kondratenko;
Introduction. At the end of the last century, a previously unknown mechanism for the sale of state and municipal property – privatization – was introduced into Russian civilian circulation. The privatization process that has been going on for thirty years continues to this day, in connection with which the topic under investigation does not lose its relevance. The purpose of the study is to identify the actual legal problems of privatization as a special way of managing municipal property. Materials and Methods. The theoretical basis of this article is the scientific work of Z. K. Kondratenko, S. V. Novikova, N. P. Sedova, I. V. Smirnova, L. N. Sheremetyeva and others. The regulatory framework of the study consists of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal laws, decrees of the President of the Russian Federation and decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation, as well as regulatory acts of local governments governing privatization legal relations. General scientific methods of cognition are used in the work: analytical, dialectical, logical, historical, as well as special scientific methods: system-structural, formal-legal, interpretation of legal norms. Results of the research, discussion. The article analyzes the stages of development of relations of privatization in the Russian Federation and the formation of the legal framework governing these relations from the end of the last century to the present. The inconsistency of some approaches to the definition of privatization is justified; Signs of privatization legal relations, including the privatization of municipal property, are systematized. The presence of flaws in the norms of the Russian privatization legislation, the complexity of the application of the rules in practice necessitate the improvement of civil law regulation of privatization processes, legal support for the protection of interests of privatization subjects of municipal property. Conclusion. The authors conclude that it is necessary to systematize legislation regulating the legal relations of privatization of state and municipal property, bringing privatization norms into a single regulatory act that takes into account the peculiarities of privatization of various objects of public ownership.
NEGATORY ACTION IN RUSSIAN CIVIL LAW
UDC: 347.23
Section: LAW
Authors: Zarina K. Kondratenko; Dmitry S. Polushin;
Introduction: Russian science and legislation do not pay serious attention to issues related to the negatory action. Therefore, there is a need to consider these issues, taking into account the latest achievements of civil science and the positions of modern judicial practice. Purpose: consideration of the structure of a negatory action, as one of the main ways to protect property rights, search for problems related to the legislative regulation of this structure, as well as ways to solve them. Materials and methods: The methodological basis of this study consists of general (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and special (historical, systemic, comparative) research methods. Results of the research, discussion: Negatory action, appearing in Roman law, was widely used in the Roman-Germanic legal systems. The subject of negatory protection is the owner or another person who owns the property on the basis provided by law or contract. The respondent in a negatory action is a person who creates a subject of obstacles to the effectuation of right of ownership, not related to deprivation of possession. The subject of a negatory action is a substantive action for elimination of violations that are not deprivation of possession, or actions that create a real threat of the occurrence of such a violation. The negatory action in Russian law is not subject to limitation of action. This is due to the fact that violations that are not related to deprivation of property are of a continuing nature. The structure of a negatory action is enshrined in the legislation of many foreign countries. The structure of a negatory action used in the Russian civil legislation is imperfect and does not meet modern scientific achievements in the field of civil law, as well as the provisions of judicial practice. Therefore, authors propose to make appropriate changes in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

UDC: 342.55
Section: LAW
Authors: Tatiana N. Mikheeva; Anastasiya Yu. Stepanova;
In the Russian Federation, there are regulatory legal acts of the federal, regional and local levels. For the functioning of a single legal space, the observance and protection of the rights and freedoms of a person and citizen, the state represented by the competent authorities carries out control over the regulatory legal acts of each level. Local government, as the level of public authority closest to the population, is obliged to observe and take into account the provisions of both federal and regional legislation in the process of municipal lawmaking. For this purpose, the competent state authorities exercise control over municipal legal acts. The aim of the research is to study and analyze the judicial practice of regional constitutional justice bodies in the field of municipal legal acts. The following research objectives were set: to characterize the circle of subjects of public authority authorized to exercise control over municipal legal acts; to determine the position of the constitutional (statutory) courts of the subjects of Russia among the subjects of control over municipal lawmaking; to analyze the decisions of the bodies of constitutional justice made in respect of municipal legal acts; to develop proposals for improving municipal lawmaking. In the process of research, the following methods of cognition were used: the formal legal method, analysis, synthesis. It is found out, that the norm control on an ongoing basis is carried out by several state bodies, while the judicial bodies do not exercise periodic control over municipal legal acts. The resolutions of the regional constitutional justice bodies issued in connection with legal uncertainty as to whether various municipal legal acts comply with the Basic Laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation are given. It is revealed that the presence of a regional constitutional justice body has a positive effect on municipal lawmaking, since the legal sense of the provisions of municipal legal acts established by constitutional (statutory) courts of regions allows maintaining and developing a single legal space.
