Khareva M. I. Keywords: Fyodor Abramov, Nikolai Fyodorov, kinship, patrophication, Pelageya, Alka	«A Tale of Mother and Daughter» by Fyodor Abramov in the Context of Philosophical Ideas of Nikolai Fyodorov Many critics have analyzed the images of the main heroines in Fyodor Abramov's novels Pelageya and Alka, yet their interpretations are similar in many respects. A new reading opens up when we turn to the philosophical ideas of Nikolai Fyodorov, alongside with Abramov's diary entries and preparatory notes for his novels. The author created the characters of Pelageya and Alka in the spirit of Fyodorov's ideas, endowing them with strong personalities, passion for life, and unwavering resistance to death. The study denostrates that through these vibrant female characters Abramov in his own way interpreted eternal problems such as the conflict of generations and the confrontation between town and countryside.

Based on a wide range of archival sources and periodicals, it explores the administrative and financial problems that led to the construction of new university buildings being delayed for almost a decade, with construction only beginning in 1988. In many ways, the difficulties were rooted in the fact that funding for culture and education was allocated on a residual basis.
Golubentseva A. O. Keywords: notarial offices, notarial departments, Olonets Province in 1917–1918	The Fate of the Notarial Profession in the Olonets Province, 1917–1918 Based on archival documents, this article examines for the first time the process of eliminating the pre-revolutionary notarial system and establishing Soviet notarial departments in the Olonets Province in 1917 and 1918. It has been established that the delay in the process of abolishing the notarial system compared to the central provinces was due to the later recognition of Soviet power in the Olonets Province, the inconsistency of the central authorities, and the actions of the Council of Commissars of the Union of Communes of the Northern Region. This delayed the establishment of new notarial departments, which was unexpectedly interrupted by a decree of the People's Commissar of Justice of the RSFSR of December 19, 1918.
Popov D. A. Keywords: Karelian Adventure, Finnish intervention, South Karelia, northern Karelian volosts, food situation, I. A.

Vlasova A. A. Keywords: student corpus, student text corpus, PACT, educational analytics, grammatical errors	Verb Tense Choice Errors in French-Language Student Writing: A Corpus Study Studies of learning French as a foreign language, both in foreign and Russian contexts, consistently demonstrate difficulties in selecting appropriate verb tense forms. A combined qualitative and quantitative analysis of 2,772 errors from the PACT corpus identified that 84.3% of these mistakes involved incorrect tense agreement. The main problem appears to stem from an incomplete understanding of the tense-aspect system, which requires the acquisition of complex grammatical skills.
