    Editorial notes:

    • Text prepared electronically using a word processor compatible with Microsoft Word 97 or higher (in *.doc or related format). The electronic version should be accompanied by the study saved in pdf (with embedded fonts). For Hebrew texts, the fonts BWHEBB, BWHEBL, BWTRANSH should be used, and for Greek texts BWGRKL, BWGRKN, and BWGRKI. If the author uses an unusual font (e.g. Old Church Slavonic), please send it along with the text.
    • Suggested text format: Times New Roman font, size 12, spacing 1.5, no special formatting or options for splitting ( transferring words).
    • Bibliography (alphabetical) and footnotes in the Chicago Author-Date style Chicago: autor-data (PL). Only the Latin alphabet may be used in bibliographic footnotes and bibliography.
    • Transliteration rules for the most commonly used alphabets: - transliteration of Cyrillic alphabet, Russian and related languages: rules-transliteration-Cyryllic,
      - transliteration of modern Greek: rules-transliteration-Greek,
      - transliteration of biblical Greek: rules-transliteration-biblical-Greek,
      - transliteration of Hebrew: rules-transliteration-Hebrew.
    • Quotations are written in two ways: sections of text no longer than 4 lines are enclosed in quotation marks and written in a simple font (without italics); longer quotations should be separated from the main text and written starting from a new paragraph; omissions in the quotation are indicated with: (...), and inverted commas within inverted commas as follows: “«writing»”.
    • Titles and abstracts in English must not contain words written in a non-Latin alphabet. Transliterations of titles in Russian must be provided and a Latin alphabet notation (transliteration) of individual words must be used if they appear in article titles.
    • Words in foreign languages and the motto are written in italics.
    • Transcriptions or transliterations of foreign spellings used in the text should be described indicating the specific character conversion system used. However, with the exception of non-Russian titles, titles and abstracts in English, the bibliography and bibliographical footnotes, the editors recommend that all texts be given in their original spelling.
    • Abbreviations should be described accurately the first time they are used (please follow current conventions). 
    • All tables, figures and photographs as well as appendices should have a title (heading) and indicate the source basis (e.g. archives, survey results, name of the collection or set). These details should be included in the article file. Figures and photographs should be submitted as a separate file in graphic format (with resolution no less than 300 dpi), with only a reference in the text.

    The publisher does not charge any fees from authors for published texts.

    No royalties are paid for published texts due to the non-commercial nature of the journal. The Editorial Board reserves the right to correct or shorten the text.

    The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject articles that fail to fulfil the editorial requirements.
