Письма во власть как modus vivendi российской профессуры и как константа русской культуры (междисциплинарный социолого-историко-филологический взгляд)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the interdisciplinary study of “letters to the authorities” of the Russian scientific and pedagogical community in the XVIII–XXI centuries. The phenomenon of constant is postulated in the conditions of the two-hundred-year history of the relationship between the Russian government and the Russian scientific and pedagogical community as a consequence of tradition and mentality within the framework of Russian linguoculture. The constant epistolary formats are analyzed — letters to the tsar (XVIII — early XX century), letters to leaders or the head of state (XX — early XXI century), letters to the press, so-called “open letter” (XX — the beginning of the XXI century), letters on the Internet — blogs and posts as a stylistic continuation of the “open letter” (the first quarter of the XXI century).
