Frank William Walbank (1909–2008) was one of the most eminent British historians of ancient civilization and its culture in the second half of the Twentieth and at the beginning of the Twenty-First Century. As an investigator he belonged to the Cambridge school of ancient studies. Only one part of F. W. Walbank’s work is briefly examined in this paper that is his interpretation of Polybius’ “Histories” as a main narrative source on the Hellenistic and Roman history from 264 to 146 B. C. His monumental “Historical Commentary on Polybius” in three volumes (1957–1979) resulted from more than thirty years of detailed and careful research of the historical and historiographical problems raised in Polybius’ work. Alongside the Büttner-Wobst text and A. Mauersberger’s “Polybios-Lexikon”, F. W. Walbank’s “Commentary” is now an indispensable base for everyone who studies various aspects of Polybius’ text. Writing a commentary culminated in his Sather Lectures on Polybius (1972) which is the best introductory study on the famous Greek historian, his work and his concept of history.

The article gives the most important examples of classicism in the culture of Saratov province namely in architecture and education. The author focuses his attention on the activities of Ivan F. Sinaisky (1799–1870) as a teacher in Greek both in Gymnasium and in Orthodox Theological Seminary in Saratov. Works translated by I. Sinaisky from Greek, his manuals and dictionaries for those who learned Greek, as well as his articles on Greek and Greek authors are being considered in the context of Russian and European classicism.

The author of this article examines only one part of Professor A.S. Shofman’s work, that is the history of classical scholarship at Kazan and shows that the series of A.S. Shofman’s studies on individual classical scholars – F.G. Mishchenko, M.M. Khvostov, V.I. Modestov – contains detailed consideration of their views on
history, methods of their historical and philological research, their personal portraits as well as his own treatments of the things they wrote about. It is argued that in A.S. Shofman’s view the majority of the historians at the University of Kazan had strong political opinions and social attitudes and these found expression in their inter-pretations of the past. The article gives a lot of examples to show that A.S. Shofman considered the development of classics and classical scholarship at Kazan from the beginning of the nineteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century as an indivisible process on the one hand and as an important and significant part of classical studies and historiography at the Russian universities as a whole on the other hand. The author comes to the conclusion that to study the work of the past historians at the University of Kazan was for A. S. Shofman not only intellectual and professional, but also personal duty, for it was an acknowledgement of the debt he owed to his predecessors in the ancient history and classical scholarship at Kazan.

The article deals with one of the most important aspects of classicism in the Russian culture of the second half of the 19th century, namely classical education. The author focuses on two short stories by A.P. Chekhov, i.e. “A Classical Student” (1883) and “The Tutor” (1884) which are analysed in the context of classical education system in Russia of that time. These works can be regarded as comments in the extensive public debate about the reform of public education launched by count Dmitri Tolstoy in the early 1870s. Such classic philologists as A.I. Georgievsky and Professor P.M. Leontev as well as M.N. Katkov, an influential Moscow journalist, were enthusiastic supporters of the reform. On the contrary, the famous scientists D.I. Mendeeleev, V.I. Vernadsky and well-known Russian professors of philology V.I. Modestov and V.I. Tchvetaev opposed any innovations in education. In the short stories “A Classical Student” and “The Tutor” by A.P. Chekhov one can see an ironic take on the negative aspects of teaching Greek and Latin in gymnasium within the system of classical education created by D.A. Tolstoy, the Minister of National Education. In both works there are a lot of details related to the personal, though not always positive, experience of their author as a student of Emperor Alexander Gymnasium in Taganrog. Nevertheless,
classicism in the field of education created a cultural ground for abundant results in literature, art, and humanities in the late 19th – early 20th centuries. An impressive boom in the studies of antiquity in Russia at that time would have been impossible without classical gymnasium with its ancient languages.

In the article Anton Chekhov’s short story “A Classical Student” (1883) is being considered in the context of the classical education system in Russia of that time. We can regard this work as well as his short story “The Tutor” (1884) as remarks in extensive public discussion around a college reform launched by count Dmitri Tolstoy in the early 1870s. In “A Classical Student” there are many details which are connected with personal and not always positive experience of its author as a student of Emperor Alexander’s Gymnasium in Taganrog.

In his work “Chekhov’s Art: A Stylistic Analysis” (1942) P. Bitsilli gives us no simple and clear answer to the question about the main idea of Chekhov’s “Gusev”. But P. Bitsilli’s observations on this short story and his research methods as regards to the writer’s prosaic works, particularly his comparative method, means of stylistic analysis and investigation of Chekhov’s prosaic texts as a rhythmic structure, as well as his idea about monas and principium individuationis concerning Chekhov himself and his works – all these together form a reliable basis for us to study “Gusev” as a whole and perfect work of art. The idea of thе short story, as the author of the article argues, is that the Everyman, who is mortal and exists in this world, as a rule does not suspect that he has a vocation to comprehend and understand the eternal, infinite and beautiful cosmos in order to reflect it in works of science, philosophy, art or religion and in this way to overcome death.
