Singing Off the Road to Life: The Threat of Sonic Delinquency in the Early Soviet Union
The Russian Review, Volume 85, Issue 1, Page 7-22, January 2026.Abstract During the New Economic Policy, Bolshevik activists and the public alike shared a fixation on singing criminals and young delinquents. It saturated stories of criminality and moral or social reform, from newspapers to sociological literature and even one of the first Soviet sound films.

The Martyrdom of Nadezhda Kurchenko: Soviet Hero Cults and the Spiritual Turn in Late Socialism
The Russian Review, Volume 85, Issue 1, Page 69-87, January 2026.Abstract This article argues that the spiritual turn in Soviet atheism under Brezhnev provided a meaningful solution to the problems of producing heroes when self‐sacrificing martyrs were losing their appeal. To support this claim, I examine the story of Nadezhda Kurchenko, a nineteen‐year‐old flight attendant killed by two hijackers on an Aeroflot ...

Demographic situation in Saratov oblast
Population, 2021 The article summarizes the results of the reproduction and migration development of Saratov oblast n in the 20th — early 21st centuries. The origin of demographic waves in the age and sex structure of the population of the region over a century is substantiated. It is shown what demographic and social consequences led to such development of the region,

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.The absorption coefficient spectra of healthy and cancerous kidney tissues were reconstructed from the absorption spectra of tissue components using constant weights. Both reconstructions allowed to calculate the concentrations of the tissue components and a comparison between the healthy and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma kidney showed an increase ...

Anisotropic glass-like properties in tetragonal disordered crystals
, 2008 The low temperature acoustic and thermal properties of amorphous, glassy materials are remarkably similar. All these properties are described theoretically with reasonable quantitative accuracy by assuming that the amorphous solid contains dynamical ...

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.The broadband absorption coefficient spectrum of the rabbit lung was reconstructed from the absorption spectra of tissue components. The similar accumulation of melanin and lipofuscin was retrieved from the broadband baseline in the absorption coefficient spectrum, and the calculation of the absorption fold ratios for proteins, DNA and hemoglobin ...

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.Line‐field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC‐OCT) is used to determine the human skin in vivo optical properties (OPs) modifications caused by biocompatible optical clearing. After a prior calibration using a phantom with determined OPs, a theoretical model is applied to mean in‐depth intensity profiles of 3D LC‐OCT images acquired during ...

Scattering of phonons on two-level systems in disordered crystals
, 2008 We calculate the scattering rates of phonons on two-level systems in disordered trigonal and hexagonal crystals. We apply a model in which the two-level system, characterized by a direction in space, is coupled to the strain field of the phonon via a ...
