Abstract:
This article examines the Russian government’s state policy on the formation of a network of stationary settlements on Kalmyk lands in the second half of the 18th-19th centuries. The author explores its aims, character, and results. In the end, the author comes to the conclusion that the settlers did not have a major impact on the economic scheme of life of the Kalmyk people, its lifeway and culture and that the Kalmyks, likewise, had little impact on them as well. The events in Kalmykia once again substantiated the axiom that it is impossible to achieve changes in the scheme of life of nomads through just settling with them sedentary landowners or via incentive, much less administrative, measures.

Abstract:
This study looks into the history of the Jewish community in Ukrainian governorates within the Russian Empire in the 19th century. The article examines the social-economic state of the Jewish community in Ukrainian governorates in the 19th century and analyzes preconditions for the creation of national Jewish public organizations in the Russian Empire in the early 20th century. At the turn of the century, there formed a specific social structure of the Jewish population in Ukrainian governorates within the Russian Empire. Even a superficial analysis and comparison of the social structure of the Jewish and other ethnoses lets us draw a conclusion about the prevalence of representatives of the merchant, craftsman, and usurer social groups among the Jews of the region. The prevalence of Jews within the non-productive sphere led to interethnic conflicts with representatives of the Ukrainian and Polish ethnoses.

5. Igor' A. TveritinovHistory and Historians in the Context of the Time, 2014, Vol. (13), № 2, pp. 92-100.
Abstract:
In this article, the author examines the term “memoirs” and cites existing classifications of memoir literature. The article proposes the author’s concept for classifying the reminiscences of participants in and witnesses of the peasant movement in Ukraine in the early 20th century. The author notes that memoir literature dedicated to the peasant movement can be examined through the prism of the proposed classification scheme, which will help get an answer to a number of questions posed in the procedure for analysis of reminiscences – the authorship-attribution of the source, the memoirist’s world-perception and views, the degree of proximity to events described, the degree of competence and logicalness of judgments, the author’s expression, operant motives for writing a memoir work, and the specific, genre, and stylistic nature of reminiscences – as well as identify their content fragments.
