Nina Vladimirovna Braginskaya (born May 15, 1950) is a Russian cultural historian, scholar of antiquity, translator, publisher and commentator on Greek and Latin authors, the heritage of Russian scholars of antiquity (O.M. Freidenberg, Ya.E. Golosovker, V.I. Ivanov). Doctor of Historical Sciences (1992). Leading researcher at the Institute of Higher Humanitarian Studies of the Russian State University for the Humanities (since 1992), professor at the Institute of Oriental Cultures and Antiquity of the Russian State University for the Humanities (since 2003). Head of the scientific and educational center for ancient studies IVKA. Member of the editorial board of the historical journal Arbor mundi.

N.V. Braginskaya - E.I. To the brewer:

Dear Efim Iosifovich, back in the spring I was amazed to find on the RSUH website the “Code of Ethics and Official Conduct of Teachers and Other Employees of the RSUH” approved by order of February 26th. This code was discussed by the anti-corruption commission, in which, except for you as its Chairman, there is not a single teacher. And these administrators, Vice-Rector Volkov, heads of accounting, legal personnel, property, regional and other departments, must consider cases of violation of ethics and rules of conduct by teachers and impose disciplinary sanctions. That's how I see this picture.

The minutes of the commission meeting in the same section of the website say that in February it was decided to submit this Code for discussion by the Academic Council. According to information from the secretariat of the Academic Council, the Code was never discussed. Meanwhile, when concluding contracts, the Human Resources Department offers to sign a document confirming familiarization with local regulations, including the Code.

Meanwhile, local regulations adopted without observing the procedure for taking into account the opinions of the representative body of employees established by Article 372 T of the Code are not subject to application. Federal Law of June 30, 2006 No. 90-FZ “On amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, recognition of certain regulatory legal acts of the USSR as invalid on the territory of the Russian Federation and invalidation of certain legislative acts (provisions of legislative acts) of the Russian Federation” (as amended by December 18, 2006, April 20, 2007).

Frankly, among the compilers of the code, I did not find a single person who even remotely possessed such moral authority as to allow him not only to dictate ethical standards by order, but even to propose them for consideration.

The Code of Ethics contains unconstitutional norms that limit human rights, for example 2.1.13-15, as well as meaningless norms, for example, to comply with laws and other regulations of the Russian Federation (2.1.5). Laws do not need to be protected by a code of conduct; they have more effective protection mechanisms.

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that teachers convicted of forging their qualifying papers, dissertations, and assisting others in such forgeries are honored professors of the Russian State University for the Humanities and occupy leadership positions, although not only is the immoral side of their activities obvious, but its corruption component is also likely. The Code says nothing about this topical problem for our university, and you, as its Chairman, are not taking any measures.

But the point is not only in the legal, ethical and linguistic level of the text of the Code, and not only in the way it is imposed by administrators on teachers and other employees.
The fact is that before my gray hair, I myself chose which standards to follow, and I will continue to do so. I am ready to discuss with my colleagues those actions of mine that they consider unethical, and listen to their opinions. But by its nature, ethics is subject to codification, much like inspiration. A person’s inner beliefs can be influenced, they can and should be educated, but they cannot be prescribed. Listen to me at least as a translator and commentator of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics: ethical standards cannot be imposed, like laws or traffic rules. This is a fallacy, and although various authorities persist in it, they do so in vain. Still, ethics cannot be imputed. Or it's not ethics.

Thus, no code orders either you or the Institute of History and Archives to stand up for Sergei Vladimirovich Mironenko, your colleague, a worthy man, when an attack began on him because of the well-known incident with the falsification of the “feat of the 28 Panfilov men.” But they “came” for the professional honor of historian-archivists. If they didn’t stand up, it means they didn’t stand up, it’s a matter of conscience. But your statement on behalf of the Russian State University for the Humanities, and therefore mine and my colleagues, about the readiness of our university to participate in a propaganda watch in defense of the “correct myths”, this can no longer be allowed. No, Efim Iosifovich, at least don’t decide such things for us. The unwritten code of ethics does not allow this.

Best wishes,
N. Braginskaya.

Last week, the grand opening of the exhibition “Metropolis” took place at the Central House of Artists on Krymsky Val. Favorites." The exhibition brought together paintings, photographs, graphics, sculpture and other works by leading Russian artists from the Moscow League of Cultural and Artistic Workers "Metropolis".

The exhibition featured works by the vice-president of the Metropolis League, head of the Art Design Educational Center of the Russian State University for the Humanities, member of the Union of Artists of Russia Galina Viktorovna Volkova.
The exhibition works were produced and designed by ProLab.

At the opening, the president of the league, Alexander Yakovets, noted that the exhibition provided an opportunity to gather authors from various areas of creative activity with their vision, emotions and palette of current topics, which they could not ignore and left for themselves, for the viewer, as a “fragment of the reality” of their lives. A. Yakovets emphasized that Metropolis unites more than a hundred artists from all over Russia. He wished the exhibition participants further creative success and fruitful cooperation with the league, and the guests of the event - pleasant emotions from their work.
In her speech, the head of the Art Design Training Center, Galina Volkova, thanked all participants in the exhibition, as well as all visitors for their support, since support and participation are very important for every creative person. She noted that she has been a member of the league since its inception and the formation and development of the union took place before her eyes. Galina Viktorovna noted that the success of the league largely depended on the skill and energy of its creators - Alexander Yakovets and the untimely deceased Georgy Ulanov.
Galina Viktorovna also presented an advance copy of her new album “Sensations”, which is in print, bringing together the author’s photographic works over several years. The design of the publication was created jointly with the league.
She noted that the authors of the league are regular guests and participants in exhibitions at the Russian State University for the Humanities - many university offices are decorated with works by the authors of Metropolis, since the experience of established artists has a beneficial effect on young professionals.
The rector of the Russian State University for the Humanities, corresponding member, also spoke at the opening. RAS Efim Pivovar, who emphasized that the university has been implementing the principle of education through art since its creation, therefore much attention is paid to the development of artistic practices: “We are glad that colleagues from Metropolis choose the audiences of the Russian State University for the Humanities for filming, that our university gives them inspiration . Undoubtedly, the league’s undertakings can be called life-affirming, despite any life circumstances - they do not have the pursuit of accusations that is widespread today, but they have a desire for life and light.”
The Chairman of the Metropolis Coordination and Trustee Council, sculptor Sergei Gai, thanked those present for the warm feedback on the works, and also spoke about the history of the exhibition. The idea and concept of the event belonged to the untimely deceased Georgy Ulanov, the president of the league, but the plan was realized after his death. He noted that the authors themselves chose the works for the exhibition, so it turned out to be very personal.
Chairman of the Moscow Union of Designers Alexander Faldin congratulated the organizers on the successful exhibition in one of the main exhibition halls in Russia. Alexander Faldin presented the Metropolis League and its president with an honorary diploma for their contribution to the development of photographic art.

This book is the result of Galina Viktorovna’s long and hard work together with the Moscow League of Cultural and Artistic Workers “Metropolis”.

The presentation was opened by the rector of the Russian State University for the Humanities, corresponding member. RAS Efim Pivovar, who congratulated Galina Viktorovna on this significant event, noting that the Art Design Center always pleases with its works. He explained how long the project took to prepare and how much effort was put into its implementation: “I watched from the sidelines and saw how difficult it was to choose the best from a huge number of materials.” The rector also noted that the work was produced and published entirely in Russia, which is undoubtedly a reason for pride.

Speaking at the presentation, Director of the Educational and Scientific Center for Visual Anthropology and Egohistory, Honored Professor of the Russian State University for the Humanities N.I. Basovskaya spoke about her long-term friendship with Galina Viktorovna and how the project developed: “What was initially just a hobby for a person who does many other things, before my eyes turned into a passion, and then into a profession. And this transformation is an encouraging example for many people.” She also noted that now it is necessary to rely on eternal values, such as the beauty presented in this work.

Director of the Institute of Mass Media N.K. Svanidze drew attention to the fact that the collection of photographs turned out to be “internally free.” In his opinion, the author of the photographs has this inner freedom, and she likes everything she sees.

Galina Viktorovna was also congratulated by the director of the Institute of General History of the Russian State University for the Humanities, member of the supervisory board of the Russian State University for the Humanities, academician A.O. Chubaryan. He described the publication of the collection as an extraordinary event both for the university and for the humanities in general. Alexander Oganovich noted that design is now an entire scientific direction, and such projects help instill in young people a taste for art, life, and beauty.

Director of the Museum Center of the Russian State University for the Humanities, Deputy Director of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. A.S. Pushkina I.V. Bakanova paid special attention to the fact that “a person lives and feeds on impressions,” and admitted that the exhibition and collection aroused a lot of positive feelings in her. She emphasized that a photographer and a teacher are a rare combination in one person, and noted the special “photo narrative” in the collection. Irina Viktorovna also pointed out the importance of the release of this album as a cultural heritage and source of inspiration for RSUH students.

Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Director of IAI A.B. Bezborodov called the collection “a work of art, a very multifaceted source of positive feelings.” He congratulated Galina Viktorovna, as well as the staff of the Faculty of Art History. Alexander Borisovich also said that this event is the result of a creative synthesis that underlies the university with an extraordinary educational process. According to him, thanks to the efforts of Galina Viktorovna and her team, the university preserves traditions and uses new technologies to teach students creative specialties.

Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Director of the Institute of Economics and Management N.I. Arkhipova noted how the title of the collection of photographs corresponds to its content: “Each photograph here is truly a feeling, a personal attitude towards the image of the artist himself, this is empathy.” She noted that each frame of the album is capable of evoking a lot of emotions in a person, touching the soul, and once again congratulated everyone on the release of the collection.

Vice-Rector for International Innovation Projects V.I. Zabotkina emphasized that each photograph in the collection carries a whole picture of emotions conveyed by the author, and also noted that the album is a reflection of the author: “Every meeting with Galina Viktorovna is always a pleasant surprise, it’s always a lot of emotions.”

Many more warm words were addressed to the photographer. Galina Viktorovna herself thanked everyone present for the congratulations and support that she received throughout the preparation of the collection, and also invited everyone to the presentation of the collection “Sensations” at Mosfilm on December 18. Everyone was also given copies of the album signed by the author.
