“…The promotion of the Russian language continued further in the later years of Brezhnev's rule when Russian language education started as early as nursery school. Russification also extended into other domains; according to Kreindler (1989), Russian came to be used ever more extensively in “party and state offices, in publishing and in the economy” (p. 56)…”

Using the 2 theoretical lenses of representation (Barthes, 1977) and ownership of language (Higgins, 2003), this article offers a critical analysis of representations of Russian speakers in 9 widely used Russian language textbooks aimed at university‐level learners. Particular attention is paid to representations of Russian speakers other than white Orthodox Christian ethnic Russians. Findings indicate that there are virtually no representations of such “other” speakers in the materials under investigation. This absence is framed as an erasure (hooks, 1992), a violent removal that significantly misrepresents the actual diversity of speakers of Russian and restricts putative ownership of the Russian language. The authors argue that not only is this inaccurate portrayal pedagogically problematic; it is also politically so, as it coincides with a rising tide of ethnic Russian nationalism in the Russian Federation. The article ends with a call for more accurate portrayals of the actual diversity of users of Russian.

“…During the reclamation of virgin and fallow lands, Akmolinsk (named Tselinograd since 1961) became the administrative and cultural centre of the Virgin Lands area [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. People of different professions voluntarily and forcibly came to the reclamation of virgin lands from every corner of the former Soviet Union, which radically affected the epidemic situation in the city [13].…”

The paper notes that after the establishment of the Virgin Lands area, specialists from all republics of the former Soviet Union came to the reclamation of virgin lands. Intestinal diseases, like other infectious diseases, were widespread among the local and arriving population. The authors have shown that large epidemic outbreaks of intestinal infections were possible in organized and unorganized collectives of residents of Tselinograd in case of violation of sanitary and hygienic regulations. Attempts, made by the city’s health authorities, did not always lead to an improvement in the quality of medical care. The authors emphasize that the shortage of specialists and healthcare institutions, violation of the treatment regimen, and other reasons influenced the deterioration of the epidemiological situation. The authors pay attention to the main directions and specific actions of the city administration to carry out epidemic control measures on the example of the sanitary service of Tselinograd during the difficult period of reclamation of virgin lands in Kazakhstan in the 1970s.

“…The Virgin Land development campaign (1950s-1960s) became a historical project of the twentieth century, a kind of socio-economic breakthrough, during which dramatic changes took place in the economy, education, culture and healthcare of Kazakhstan in a short time [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The purpose of this article is to study the state of the dermatovenereological service in the Tselinny Kray, to show the reasons for the weak development of healthcare in the first decade of this project, to consider the measures of the regional and local authorities to improve the situation in this matter.…”

This article deals with the organization of dermatovenereological services for the population in 1962–1963 in the Tselinny kray. The authors analyze the complex of reasons that led to the weak development of this area of medicine in the northern regions of Kazakhstan. The measures of regional and local executive authorities for the development of medical services for the population are considered. A sharp increase in the population of virgin lands put on the agenda the issues of accelerated development of medical services, the construction of dispensaries, hospitals and clinics. The authors emphasize that the fight against the growth of dermatovenereological diseases caused by the beginning of mass migration of people to the development of virgin and fallow lands became an important area of health development. The authors conclude that notable successes in the development of the dermatovenereological service in the region, however, did not fully solve the emerging problems of disease prevention and treatment, which in turn led to the periodicity of updating this issue.
