Barbenko Y. A., Kondratenko G. V. "The Chinese in the Ussuri Region" by V. K. Arseniev and "Chinese otkhodnichestvo in the Far East..." by F. V. Solov'ev: the study of the Chinese in the Russian Far East between expertise and science	download russian text
The subject of the study is the correlation of expert and scientifc forms in the ethnographic and historical works of the Far Eastern authors of the XX century: Vladimir Arseniev and Fyodor Solov'ev. The existing tradition of evaluating Vladimir Arseniev's research does not give a clear qualifcation of his non-fiction works. The authors formulate an idea about the features of expert and scientifc forms of knowledge and presentation of research material in order to be able to evaluate the texts under study. The main research technique used by the authors is a matching search, we compare real texts with a set of characteristics of the ideal image of texts of expert and scientifc styles. The authors came to the conclusion that "The Chinese in the Ussuri Region" by V. K. Arseniev can be qualifed as an expert text, and "Chinese otkhodnichestvo in the Far East ..." by F. V. Solov'ev as a scientifc text with elements of expertise. Arseniev gave his text the features of expertise consciously, and Solov'ev, apparently, accidentally when he deviated from the standards of scientifc style.

Environmental problems are an integral part of the development of society. Changing ecological habits allows you to minimize the damage done to the ecology of the planet and prevent the situation from worsening. The article is aimed at studying the environmental habits of young people. The authors conducted ten interviews. During the interview, three major topics were raised: attitudes towards environmental problems, understanding of eco-habits, and, in fact, the formation of eco-habits. It was found that adolescents consider environmental problems to a greater extent as some event removed from them in time. At the same time, they understand the importance and responsibility for the current ecological situation of the currently living population, including their own. Despite the fact that not many of the respondents can clearly articulate the concept of "environmental habit", however, among adolescents there is an awareness of the importance and signifcance of this phenomenon for the outside world and society in particular. Among the factors infuencing the formation of eco-habits, many indicate not only parental authority and family values, but also their own environment (schools and various public organizations, friends, classmates), and even trends.

The article examines the history of the territorial dispute in the South China Sea through the prism of the China’s and Vietnam’s interests. It contains the positions of the parties concerning the confict as well as the bilateral confrontation and refects the current state of the problem. The article is based on the analysis of previous researches and fndings of Russian and foreign authors.
