Since then diplomatic relations between the two countries have been parts of the foreign policy of both countries. In the following half a century, especially Russia had interfered in the historic destiny of Denmark, whereas Denmark tried to interfere in the development of Russian agriculture and industry in the beginning of the 1900s.

The problems of church unity and canonical autocephaly are of great importance in modern social and religious life and Inter-Orthodox relations. Attempts to resolve these tasks in our days invariably turn into confrontation and overly politicization. To overcome competently the existing differences in the Orthodox world on the subject of allowing autocephaly it is necessary to follow positive examples from the church history.

This paper analyses his views on the nature of the Bulgarian Greek Church conflict and the ways of its overcoming, reflected in the homilies, addressed to the students of the divine school, the future Church pastors.

Bezrukov A.N. The ontology of the rhizome of meaning in Venedikt Erofeev’s drama experiments

This article analyses the unfinished tragedy “Dissidents, or Fanny Kaplan” by postmodernist writer Venedikt Erofeev. The drama manifests a special hierarchy of values being destroyed by reality. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that the text of the play has not yet been considered in the mode of the level layout in actual connection with the conceived V. Erofeev triptych. The format of the triptych allows the author to overcome the boundaries of the semantic range and connotative substitution. The writer moves from the integrity of the reflection of life to the variative self-destruction, to the loss of the most important ontological components of life, i.e. the category of faith. The conclusions indicate the rhizome character of the meaning which ontologically cannot be completed. The reception of the play “Dissidents, or Fanny Kaplan” verifies the objective idea of V. Erofeev’s creative landmarks.
