Nation or muslim community. Islamic world in search of identity
Resumo
The article studies the ideology of nationalism and Islamism as factors in the self-identification of the Muslim East. The author notes that nationalism and Islamism are united by their opposition to Western culture and values, to the concept of globalization. They are a protective shield against Western socio-cultural and economic expansion. However, this common objective of both ideologies does not eliminate the inherent contradictions between Islamism and nationalism. Both state nationalism and Islamism are obsolete in a globalizing world. The future belongs to Neo-nationalism, which is a synthesis of ethnicity and self-identity, which manifests itself in the growth of ethnic consciousness, a desire for territorial and ethno-cultural autonomy, in the aspirations of political leaders, who advocate the preservation of identity and the simultaneous access to the global world.

Holy Women in the late Byzantine
Resumo
The focus of study is Hagiography, i.e., writings on the lives and miracles of saints, in the late Byzantine. The attitude of Byzantines toward female saints reflects their general ambivalence about women. The numbers of female saints provided with vitae are very low. The author shows that a definite transformation in type of female saint occurs over time, and explores the vitae of two Byzantine holy women - Matrona from Сhios who entered monastic life, and Xenia Irina, married woman, who attained sanctity without ever having taken monastic vows.
