One of the problems of tax policy of the Russian Federation is the relation between the tax system and tax-related budget settlement. There are several traditional sources of tax reimbursement: revenue, expenses, financial result (pre-tax profit, taxable profit, retained earnings). Under these conditions, it is hardly possible to estimate unambiguously the tax burden on the taxpayer's activities. Moreover, direct by their economic nature taxes are subject to indirect taxation. 1. Налоговый кодекс...

The paper examines the concept of translation strategy and aims to develop a typology of its possible forms from the perspective of a needs-tailored approach to translation. It begins with a brief review of positions on translation strategy articulated by Russian and inter­na­tio­nal translation scholars, demonstrating the lack of consensus in the field. The study then subjects the theory of translation strategies developed within the communicative-functional app­roach, conceptually close to the...

This article examines linguocultural and linguistic research on the Kashubian substra­tum, drawing on materials collected by Russian scholars, primarily those affiliated with Saint Pe­tersburg academic institutions, from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. These materials, derived from recordings of native speakers’ oral speech as well as from written, lexicographic, and ethnographic sources, constitute an invaluable empirical foundation for the study of Kashubian. The article offers an...

In modern Finnic onomastics, the study of the pathways and mechanisms through which foreign borrowings are adapted in closely related languages has gained particular signifi­cance. Drawing on material from the Votic and Ingrian anthroponymic systems, this article examines the phonetic and morphological transformation of personal names of Christian origin. The study aims to identify the typological features of adaptation mechanisms and to distinguish between universal and language-specific characteristics...

The article examines Osip Mandelstam’s last poem, recorded from the poet’s voice in a transit camp. Two main tasks are pursued: the verification of authorship and the reconst­ruc­tion of the original text. The poem is analysed against the background of the Russian poetic tra­dition and within the context of Mandelstam’s late work. It is argued that the extant re­cord is not a fragment of a lost text, but a complete poem—a one-line epigram. Rhythmic and phonetic analysis brings this poem close to...

The universally recognized position in both Russian and global Chekhov studies is that the artistic detail, as a linguistic-poetic device, micro-image, a means of conveying factu­al/con­ceptual/subtextual information, is a particularly significant feature of Chekhov's idio­lect. The aim of this article is to identify and describe the linguistic-poetic techniques of intro­ducing details into the text, their actualization or elimination, the evolution of meanings, and the functions of illustrative...

The Easter archetype, with its main idea of the resurrection, focuses on the spiritual reality of the Heavenly World, which requires the transformation of the soul, while the Christmas archetype carries the idea of the incarnation of God, and hence there is a need for this type of literature which refers to earthly change and earthly joy. Varlamov’s short story is distinguished by an appeal to the plot of the prodigal son, according to I. A. Esaulov, that is Easter-oriented at its core, with a three-part...

The author considers a lengthy program of research (that will be continued in a series of articles) on the artistic geography (geopoetics) of Alexander Galich, one of the brightest representatives of the author’s (bard’s) song of the 1960s—1970s. The construction of Galich poetic world actualizes the opposition of the center / periphery, while Moscow (or another capital replacing it) acts as the frequency expression of the structural center, and the periphery can be represented as a) the Russian...
