With the second issue of Scando-Slavica for 2018, we are happy to offer our readers a new collection of articles in Slavic studies. The topics addressed include classical and modern Russian literature, modern Russian grammar and lexicography, and language attrition with special emphasis on Polish. In her contribution, Mayya Kucherskaya discusses Nikolaj Leskov’s short story Vladyčnyj sud (Episcopal Justice, 1877) and its relationship to events that took place in Kiev at the end of the 1840s and the beginning of the 1850s. Basing its analysis on recently discovered archival documents, the article sheds new light on Leskov’s creative use of documentary material, and also traces the evolution of Leskov’s views on the relationship between the Christian and Jewish faiths. Pavel Uspenskij offers a new reading of Osip Mandel′štam’s late poem Na otkosy, Volga, chlyn′, Volga, chlyn′, written in July 1937. Without neglecting the insights gained from earlier biographical interpretations of the poem, Uspenskij’s detailed analysis of Mandel′štam’s use of folkloric traditions shows that the poem can be understood as a poetic text in itself – even without external reference to the biographical context or intertextual allusions. Elena Pavlova’s article discusses the relatively new trend of including references to current political events in Russian women’s popular fiction. According to the author, this growing politicization reflects a new wave of interest in both domestic and international politics among the general public in Russia, but also the increased commercial potential signalled by the development of this formerly more apolitical literary genre with its traditional focus on entertainment. Paola Bocale presents a detailed linguistic analysis of the Russian polyfunctional deictic word tam ‘there’, exploring its semantic and pragmatic features in order to establish its function as a marker of irrealis in contexts describing hypothetical situations, unrealised or future events, negations, commands, etc. Her findings indicate the existence of a connection between irrealis and the spatial notion of distance not only in Russian, but also in other Slavic and non-Slavic languages. Further developing their conception of Russian case as the nominal equivalent to mood, Elena Lorentzen and Per Durst-Andersen analyse the important distinction between the modern Russian locative and accusative cases in both spatial and temporal contexts. Through a detailed analysis of juxtaposed contrastive case constructions, the authors reach the conclusion that within the prepositional case system of Russian the locative can only be applied to the

随着 2018 年第二期 Scando-Slavica，我们很高兴为我们的读者提供斯拉夫研究方面的新文章集。讨论的主题包括古典和现代俄罗斯文学、现代俄罗斯语法和词典编纂，以及特别强调波兰语的语言磨损。在她的贡献中，Mayya Kucherskaya 讨论了 Nikolaj Leskov 的短篇小说 Vladyčnyj sud（Episcopal Justice，1877 年）及其与 1840 年代末和 1850 年代初发生在基辅的事件的关系。文章基于对最近发现的档案文件的分析，对列斯科夫对文献材料的创造性使用有了新的认识，并追溯了列斯科夫对基督教和犹太信仰之间关系的看法的演变。Pavel Uspenskij 提供了对 Osip Mandel'štam 已故诗歌 Na otkosy 的新解读，Volga, chlyn', Volga, chlyn'，写于 1937 年 7 月。 Uspenskij 对 Mandel'štam 对民俗传统的使用的详细分析表明，这首诗可以被理解为诗歌文本，而不会忽视从早期对这首诗的传记解释中获得的见解本身——即使没有外部参考传记背景或互文典故。埃琳娜·帕夫洛娃 (Elena Pavlova) 的文章讨论了在俄罗斯女性流行小说中引用当前政治事件的相对较新的趋势。根据作者的说法，这种日益增长的政治化反映了俄罗斯公众对国内和国际政治的新​​一波兴趣，但也反映了这种以前更加非政治性的文学类型的发展所表明的商业潜力的增加，其传统的重点是娱乐. Paola Bocale 对俄语多功能指示词 tam 'there' 进行了详细的语言分析，探索了它的语义和语用特征，以便在描述假设情况、未实现或未来事件、否定、命令、等等。她的研究结果表明，不仅在俄语中，而且在其他斯拉夫和非斯拉夫语言中，虚幻和距离的空间概念之间存在联系。Elena Lorentzen 和 Per Durst-Andersen 进一步发展了他们将俄语格作为语气的名义等价物的概念，分析了现代俄语处所格和宾格在空间和时间语境中的重要区别。通过对并列对比案例结构的详细分析，
