Abstract. This article is focused on the history and characteristics of the First Indochina War (1946–1954) as a stage in the decolonization of French Indochina. It examines the causes, main stages, and outcomes of the conflict, interrelating military, political, and international factors. The study shows that the victory of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was determined by a combination of the people's war strategy, political mobilization, and the influence of the Cold War-era international situation. The author concludes that the war played a significant role in the collapse of the French colonial system and the formation of an independent Vietnamese state during the new geopolitical reorganization of the postwar world.
Keywords: First Indochina War, decolonization, Viet Minh, Democratic Republic of Vietnam, national liberation movement, international relations, Geneva Conference of 1954.

Abstract. The populist “Going to the People” of 1874 was the first major political-eschatological movement in the post-reform Russian Empire. This paper is the second of a proposed cycle of articles about eschatological aspects of revolutionary populism of the 1870s. Mass movements or sects often contain eschatological views and attempt to hasten the end of the old world and the coming of a new age. This article examines how the populist movement of the early 1870s became the first major eschatological- political sect in Russia. The eschatological attributes of the populist sect included a strict code of beliefs and behavior for adherents, a harsh division of people into categories of saved and damned, demonization of all external and, especially, internal enemies. The revolutionary populists went through a complex process of radicalization in numerous self-education circle. The article’s theme is relevant in studying the process of the radicalization of participants in contemporary extremist and terrorist movements.
Keywords: eschatological movements in Russia, Populist “Going to the People” of 1874, revolutionary populism, radicalization process, revolutionary sectarianism, historical mythmaking.

Abstract. The transformation of mass consciousness can occur under external pressure. The Soviet government, having come to power, aimed to radically transform Russian society and, in the long term, global society as well. To achieve this goal, a wide range of advertising and propaganda tools were employed, including posters, films, theatrical performances, educational lectures, and other ones. These methods of conveying ideologically significant information proved highly effective; however, they did not actually penetrate into the homes of Soviet citizens, were not constantly in their sight, and therefore did not become part of everyday life. One solution to this problem, as envisioned by the Bolsheviks, was the production of propaganda porcelain, which was intended to become accessible to broad segments of the population and to contribute more effectively to the creation of the ”new man”.
Keywords: propaganda on porcelain, sculpture, image of women, avant-garde art, painting, Red Army, Lenin.

Abstract. This article presents a historiographical overview of German studies of Russo-Hanseatic relations. Using Rostock as an example, the author shows that, despite the existence of common analytical models (autonomy, legal pluralism, conflict management), specialized studies on this city's role in trade with Russian lands are virtually nonexistent. The evolution of approaches is revealed: from early source studies to socio-structural analysis and digital methods. The paper substantiates the potential of the Rostock archives for future research and stresses the limited inclusion of materials on Rostock in the study of eastern trade relations.
Keywords: Rostock, Hanse, Russo Hanseatic relations, German historiography, Novgorod, source studies, urban law, urban autonomy, conflict management, digital history.
