Abstract:
Social status played a huge role in the society of pre-revolutionary Russia, reflected in almost all aspects of life. Formed over centuries, the legislation of the Russian Empire has allocated four basic classes: nobility, clergy, urban inhabitants and rural inhabitants (farmers). By the late XIX – early XX centuries the social structure, in general, had finished its formation, but not in all regions this process went evenly. The article analyses, by the example of Tobolsk province, the estate composition of its residents in the late Imperial period. On the basis of the legislative acts, historical documents and bibliographic works, it was reflected the dynamics of demographic development (population, marriages, deaths, natural and artificial growth, life expectancy), changes in the number and position of basic social categories (commoners, merchants, military, clergy, peasants, exiles, etc.). The study has involved techniques and methods of interdisciplinary, local, systemic, structural-functional, diachronic, problem-chronological approaches. As a whole, the obtained results allow estimating the impact of the Russian economic recovery on the development of the social structure of the studied area in the designated time frame.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the fighting in the Kuban region which developed on the southern wing of the Soviet-German front in August 1942. Their beginning had a significant influence on the course of the Battle of Caucasus. During these fights the German Army Group “A” strived to defeat Soviet troops in the Kuban steppes and break through the Caucasus Mountains to the Black Sea coast. The Red Army troops retreated, trying to keep the forces and take advantageous lines for defense. The author has analyzed the combat instruction of the opposing sides, has compared various data on the number of land, air and naval forces of the USSR and the Axis. The special attention is paid on the evaluation of their composition, combat qualities and capabilities. This made possible to take a fresh look at the Soviet-German confrontation in the Kuban.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the Kalmyk Red Army servicemen who had been awarded the Order of Glory during the Great Patriotic War. This military decoration was known as the “Soldier’s” Order and granted only to privates and non-commissioned officers (as well as to junior lieutenants of the air force) for bravery in action. Due to the fact, those engaged in military logistics could not receive this Order Red Army soldiers viewed it as the highest esteemed reward. Using a wide range of sources the author has compiled a list of the Kalmyk Cavaliers of the Order of Glory alongside with their short histories of military service. Commendation lists that had been digitized and posted on the open-access website OBD “Podvig naroda” (People’s Deeds of Valor) served as the basic source for compiling the list. It should be noted that battlefield scribes and record keepers unfamiliar with the spelling of Kalmyk personal and family names, names of villages and districts introduced significant distortions to the records so that one and the same person could be referred to in 5 documents variously. Besides, the search was dramatically complicated by the absence of the tool “nationality” within the OBD “Podvig naroda” search engine, and in fact, the Kalmyk Cavaliers of the Order of Glory had to be looked up “manually.” Databases of only five regions have been subject to thorough studies (the Kalmyk Republic, Rostov, Astrakhan, Volgograd, Stavropol Regions) with nothing but Kalmyk names being the search criteria. Had there been people bearing fully non-Kalmyk family, personal and patronymic names, they are not represented in the final list.
