The article addresses the core anthropological concepts of Carl Du Prel’s philosophy and explores the significance of those concepts for the Russian spiritualism of the late 19th – early 20th century. The Du Prel’s theory built up upon the concept of Duality of the Human Being. Du Prel insisted on simultaneous co-existence of two subjects – one pertaining to the sensible world and the other related to the extrasensory (‘the transcendental subject’) – that are divided by the ‘perception threshold’. He argued that in dormant and somnambular state the threshold would shift and thus enable the Transcendental Subject to act in the Extrasensory World. Du Prel believed that the human evolution is not over yet. He suggested that one could estimate what the new form of the human life would be judging by the conditions in which the transcendental subject comes out. Like many other spiritualists, Du Prel foretold the upcoming dawn of a new era where the boundary between science and religion on the one part and the Sensible and Extrasensory World on the other part will vanish. Anthropological doctrine of Du Prel correlated well with the views on the future human being held by the Russian spiritualists, and therefore he became one of the most reputable authors for them

The article reviews contemporary church building practices in Udmurtia. Stylistic tendencies in the church architecture are considered. Two approaches could be identified in church design and construction, representing two different creative methods of morphogenesis rendered in Russian by two stylizing-related terms: stilizatorstvo (faithful to the original) and stilizatsiya (less faithful to the original). These two concepts, used in the evaluation of the 1830s – early 20th century architecture, present two ways of interpreting historical architectural prototypes.

During the salvage ethnography period in the early 20th century, the adoption of scholars by tribes provided those scholars with access to Indigenous Knowledge and garnered their support of Indigenous agendas at a time when there were few Indigenous scholars. Adoptive practices and protocols today raise complex questions that have very real legal, political, and cultural repercussions. The introduction of enrollment cards and blood quantum—how are we to make sense of old adoption protocols of Indigenous Nations outlined in traditional narratives such as Creation? The answer for Haudenosaunee communities lies in two of the core narratives: Creation and Great Law. What do these narratives illuminate regarding adoptive cultural practices that today can be utilized in an ever changing political, legal, and culture framework using the long-understood notion of Good Mindedness?

Deals with the problem of study and preservation of the monuments representing the church architecture in the town of Bogorodsk and its immediate environs. Most of the churches have lived through numerous destructive processes that were rooted in religious or atheist beliefs of different periods including blasphemous attitude to holy places.
