Martin Folkes (1690-1754): Newtonian, Antiquary, Connoisseur
'Oxford University Press (OUP)', 2021Co-Authors: Roos, Anna MarieAbstract:Martin Folkes (1690-1754) was Newton's disciple and President of both the Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries. Astronomer, mathematician, art connoisseur, Voltaire's friend and Hogarth's patron, his was an intellectually vibrant world. Folkes’s travel diary, manuscripts, correspondence with fellow antiquarians such as William Stukeley, and numismatic works permit my reconstruction through Folkes’s eyes of what it was like to be a collector and patron, a Masonic Freethinker, and antiquarian and virtuoso in the days before 'science' became subspecialised. Folkes’s virtuosic sensibility and attempt to unify the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Society also tells against the current historiographical assumption that this was the age in which the ‘two cultures’ of the humanities and sciences split apart, never to be reunited. In Georgian England, antiquarianism (early archaeology) and 'science' were considered part of the same endeavour

Chigirin Freethinkers in Search of the Peasant Truth
'Ural Federal University', 2020Co-Authors: Мауль, В. Я.Abstract:The article was submitted on 06.02.2020.This article examines one of the most important events in the lives of S. Shutenko and F. Chepurnoy, two ordinary peasants of Chigirin uyezd, Kiev province, in the nineteenth century. The Chigirin Freethinkers’ drama was connected with peasant unrest in left-bank Ukraine between the 1870s and 1880s. A number of comprehensive works have turned to their biographies (B. G. Litval and D. P. Poida). In this article, the peasants’ views are analysed through the prism of their tragic lives and dreams about the peasant truth, which resulted in their exile to Siberia. They served their first exile together in Yenisei province from 1882 to 1887. Chepurny served another exile in Irkutsk province from 1895 to 1900. There is little information about Shutenko’s later life. The research refers to unpublished archival documents from the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation and the state archives of Irkutsk, Tomsk and Krasnoyarsk. The author mostly focuses on judicial and investigation materials, as well as official correspondence between different state bodies. Also, the author refers to the memoirs of such revolutionaries as L. G. Deutsch and V. D. Debogory-Mokriyevich, both of whom were involved in peasant unrest in Chigirin. The reason for peasant unrest was discontent with the agrarian reforms in former state properties in right-bank Ukraine. Peasants perceived the agrarian reforms through the prism of their traditional worldview. They did not doubt the good intentions of the tsar, who granted the true peasant will. They treated the content of the agrarian reforms as treason on the part of officials and landowners, who they blamed for distorting the tsar’s will. The intentions themselves seemed to comply with peasants’ interests. As a result of peasant unrest, the religious teaching of Stundism gained in popularity. The article demonstrates how Stundism significantly influenced peasant estimation of agrarian changes on state properties in the southwestern part of the Russian Empire. The author concludes that Shutenko and Chepurnoy’s tragic destinies may be viewed as a result of peasant unrest in the post-reform Ukrainian village.Статья посвящена изучению важнейших событий из жизни двух обычных крестьян Чигиринского уезда Киевской губернии в XIX в. С. К. Шутенко и Ф. А. Чепурного. Жизненная драма чигиринских вольнодумцев была связана с крестьянскими волнениями на Правобережной Украине в 1870–1880-е гг. Фрагментарно к событиям их биографий обращались авторы нескольких обобщающих сочинений (Б. Г. Литвак и Д. П. Пойда). В статье взгляды крестьян анализируются в ракурсе их трагической судьбы и мечты о крестьянской правде, обернувшихся для них ссылкой в Сибирь. Первую ссылку (с 1882 по 1887) они отбывали в Енисейской губернии. Вторая ссылка в Иркутскую губернию (с 1895 по 1900) затронула Ф. Чепурного. Сведения источников о дальнейших испытаниях С. К. Шутенко малоинформативны. Источниками для научного анализа стали неопубликованные архивные документы из фондов ГАРФ и государственных архивов Иркутской, Томской областей и Красноярского края. Среди них преобладают судебно-следственные материалы и официальная переписка различных государственных органов. Также используются мемуары революционеров, таких как Л. Г. Дейч и В. Д. Дебогорий-Мокриевич, причастных к крестьянским волнениям в Чигиринском уезде. Причиной крестьянских волнений стало недовольство аграрными реформами в бывших казенных имениях Правобережной Украины. Земельные перемены были восприняты крестьянами в рамках традиционного мировоззрения. Они не сомневались в добрых намерениях правящего царя, который даровал настоящую крестьянскую волю. Не устраивавшее их содержание аграрных реформ сельские жители считали результатом «измены» со стороны чиновников и землевладельцев, которых обвиняли в искажении волеизъявления царя. Сами эти намерения представлялись соответствующими интересам крестьян. В обстановке крестьянского недовольства популярность получило религиозное учение штундизма. В статье показано, как штундизм во многом повлиял на общую оценку крестьянами аграрных перемен в казенных имениях Юго-Западного края Российской империи. Делается вывод, что трагическую судьбу Шутенко и Чепурного можно рассматривать как результат крестьянских настроений в пореформенной украинской деревне
