Medieval London during the plague (1348–1351): Some aspects of social life
Аннотация
The article examines certain aspects of the social life of the City during the period of the plague (1348–1351) based on the documentation of the London Magistrate. It is shown that the Black Death dealt the most severe blow to the capital’s guilds, depriving them of workers and temporarily disorganizing production, which affected both the quality of manufactured products and relations inside trade and craft corporations, contributing to their further decline. Being unable to cope with the growth of social activity of journeymen, apprentices and servants, the masters were forced to appeal to the authority of the City administration, demanding from it the confirmation of previously established restrictive measures. Another important aspect of everyday life in London was overcoming such consequences of the crisis as the growth of crime and the restoration of shaken public mores, which were also fought through attempts at greater regulation and prohibitions. However, these measures did not bring tangible results.

I. F. Pavlyukov (Agapov) – the forgotten leader of Tsaritsyn’s Bolsheviks in the October Revolution of 1917
Аннотация
The article is devoted to the study of the life path and revolutionary activity of Ivan Fedorovich Pavlyukov (Agapov), the undeservedly forgotten leader of the Tsaritsyn Bolsheviks. He came to the leadership of the Bolshevik faction in the local organization of the RSDLP in JulyAugust 1917 during the imprisonment of S. K. Minin and Ya. Z. Erman. It was he who led the creation and arming of the Red Guard detachments, and then the establishment of Soviet power in Tsaritsyn. The leadership of the RCP(B) accused him of indecision. S. K. Minin tried to consign his role in the October events to oblivion. This work was completed by I. V. Stalin’s chekists, who accused I. F. Pavlyukov of Trotskyism. He was subjected to repression and, apparently, disappeared in Stalin’s dungeons. Ispart’s materials contain his memories of the October days in Tsaritsyn, which we publish in the appendix to the article.
