The purpose of this study is to analyze an internal labor migration in 1945-1953 (till the Stalin’s death) in USSR. The research is conducted based on Molotov Oblast (modern Perm Krai) archive data related to the period. The migration in the region was conditioned by evacuation of large metallurgic, mechanical engineering, timber production facilities away from front line over 1941-1945. In addition to State Archive of the Perm Krai records the relevant files of Perm State Archives of Social and Political History were analyzed.

The main migration patterns are described in the article in an attempt to identify key factors for return migration. As a result of analysis of an extensive data array (mostly presented by the letters, acts and statements of All-Union Communist Party Bolsheviks and Communist Party of the Soviet Union), it is shown that the unsuitable living conditions and social difficulties faced in host region served as a root cause of return movement. The research introduces new unpublished archive documents that clarify overall character of the internal labor migration in USSR after the end of WWII.

The article analyzes the documents deposited in the State Archives of the Perm Krai in order to reveal their information potential, determine the completeness, representativeness, reliability and possibilities of use in the study of migration processes in the region and the country as a whole.

Referring to Perm Zemstvo, this article considers the role of out-of-school activities of Zemstvo establishments in overcoming relapses into illiteracy, i.e. the loss of literacy skills and the return of the state of illiteracy. The Zemstvo leaders themselves, who were closely connected with the organisation of public education, were among the first to pay attention to this problem. The article highlights two main areas of activity of the Zemstvo in this field based on the analysis of materials of the Zemstvo records management such as journals of the Perm Provincial Zemstvo Assembly, reports, and periodicals. The two areas are the organisation of activities to improve literacy and the creation of an infrastructure to fight and prevent illiteracy. The activities of Perm Zemstvo in this area were aimed at organising Sunday, revision, and other types of schools and classes, libraries, and public readings. It was Sunday and revision and extracurricular classes and other activities that helped to maintain and improve the existing literacy rate, as well as prevent the recurrence of illiteracy. The infrastructure consisted of organisational measures proper and forms of Zemstvo’s activity in adult education, institutions, specialists that were only being formed in the early twentieth century, i.e. “adult education specialists” (Rus. vneshkolniki) that were seen as necessary, and material objects. The study shows that, despite the low results in some areas, the activities of the Zemstvo to prevent and overcome relapses of illiteracy in general were a definite step aimed at solving important sociocultural problems and were essential for the development of extracurricular education in this historical period.

The article analyzes the educational and methodological foundations of teaching in the zemstvo schools of the Perm province in the second half of the XIX century. According to Regulations on the provincial and district zemstvo institutions, zemstvos could not influence the pedagogical side of education. Individual attempts of zemstvos to influence the internal, educational, side were suppressed, zemstvo decisions and resolutions were suspended or canceled as not included in the circle of affairs entrusted to them. However, the Perm Zemstvo, through the involvement of teachers in teaching “optional” subjects in zemstvo schools, allocations for the purchase of textbooks, manuals, visual and other educational materials, the introduction of teaching methods and technologies by Zemstvo teachers, largely contributed to changing the educational process in the region, raising the general cultural level of the population, developing creative abilities and improving its way of life.

The texts I have revised testify the line developed from the more “naïve” and ontologizing discourse of Ps.-Macarius to the discourse where the unity is spoken of as a phenomenon revealed for intellectual abilities, which suggests an indication of unity in a certain respect and preserves from interpreting this unity as a merge of unified natures. For the latter we can distinguish the strategy of cognition / recognition, which Maximus the Confessor and Symeon the New Theologian adhered to. According to this strategy, by the properties displayed by incandescent iron, we can discern the nature of fire revealed in iron, and, in the same way, we can conclude that human is god (of small letter) on the basis of that he manifests himself as God, that is, exposes the divine features.  

I show that Gregory of Nyssa used significant points from a passage of Porphyry’s Isagoge while developing his doctrine of the general and the particular.
