The article deals with the problem of assessing the
quality of land settlements of Krestetsky uyezd in
Novgorod province since the time of cadaster
descriptions of Novgorod land to fieldworks of
Russian soil scientists. The comparative aspect studies
information of cadastres in the middle of the XVI
century, Economic notes to the General landsurveying

about the settlements having existed in the territory for
centuries, with the description of land quality and
fertility was compiled. The analysis revealed that

composition of soils in Krestetsky uyezd within the
same soil type was very diverse. General land

was especially strengthened by the prevalence of
certain soils in the region. However, at the micro level

The article deals with the problem of transgression of
Kazakhs of Bukey horde on the territory of Lower
Volga frontier. Transgression of the frontier territory is
a way to adapt to the new conditions of existence. The

Chronological frameworks of the article cover the period from 1865 (the date of the creation of the Western-Siberian military district) to 1906 when the Siberian military district has been divided up into Omsk and Irkutsk districts.

They are the features of the regional climate, the features of the officer personnel formation in the district, the features of its class structure (which is a source of replacement of the organized units’ staff, district subunits and a mobilization resource in case of the war beginning) and some organization issues of the military’s everyday life in Western Siberia. The authors pay a special attention to the problems of character training, the organization of the service arm and the troop training in the Siberian military district. They also underline a low level of literacy among the district population and the staff of the district divisions and units. The main idea of the article is that the government has paid little attention to the military component of Western Siberia development from the earliest times up to now

For some of the Eastern countries - Turkey, Iran,
China and Japan - XIX century passed under the sign
of reform. Studying these countries today is important
and relevant. Such an experience could be a tool for
analyzing the reform aspirations of modern mankind,
which is especially valuable for those situations which
are determined by the trend of rapid economic and
technological progress. Hence, there is a certain
increase in interest of turkologists in recent years to
study reforms in Turkey deeply, especially the period
of the so-called "beneficent reforms" ( "Tanzimat-i
hayriye"), which lasted for more than thirty years -
from 1839 to 1876

This article analyses the state religious policy in regard
to the Russian Orthodox Church in the first post Great

life during the above-mentioned period in the

This article presents the results of the content analysis
of the US National Security Strategies published in the
period 1991-2010. The emphasis is on identifying the
role of non-governmental organizations in building of
the US political strategy, as well as considering the
evolutionary path of NGOs during various presidential
administrations of the United States. The conclusion is
drawn that during the considered period nongovernmental
organizations became an integral part of
the US foreign policy doctrine. NGOs have become
one of the most important instruments of the "soft
power" of the United States, primarily with regard to
the spread of democratic foundations and civil society.
The results demonstrate the difference in approaches to
the "soft power" between the democratic and
republican administrations of the United States of
America
