Dear friends, colleagues, and our followers!

We are happy to present you the second issue of the magazine this year.

We have ten new authors having joined us this time – from the well respected scientists and cultural figures to scholars.

The articles of our regular and new authors, including ones from Buryatiya and Kalmykia, are quite appealing to the audience.

Most of the articles are very recent, including those that had been written especially for the current issue of our magazine.  Within short time all the works will be uploaded to the Russian Science Citation Index database.

Let us remind you that we keep accepting materials for the next issue that is going to be issued this autumn in the beginning of September.

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact the Chief Editor or to place feedback on the internet page.
