It is difficult to imagine the history of literature devoid of such mode of research expression as monography. It is still a popular form of synthetic expressions (after all the history of literature is condemned to synthesis). At the same time, however, a literary historian can base his actions less and less often on the theoretical-literary reflection. What vectors could turn us today towards a contemporary reading of literary texts – the reading which is far not only from ingenuous naivety but also from dangerous confidence in the power of individual research concepts? Some contemporary postulates of reading ethics give answer to these questions. They induce us to be distant towards any theoretical-literary or ideological prejudices and hence to the responsibility for the research method and the language describing a work of art. It seems that a thought which returns in the reflection of literary studies about the subjectivity of reading, about the necessity of considering the sphere of values in the process of reading (which modern ethics of reading calls for) induces to turn towards interpretation, return to the author and to axiology.

The article shows that from the 19th century until now, reflections has been appearing on a form of adequate monographic depiction on Ludovit Stur (1815-1856), the main personality of the Slovak national revival. According to the author's opinion the biggest problem of the already existing monographs was that they provided only a one-side ideological explanation, but Stur's various activities cannot be reduced to one common ideological platform. The result of such reduction is a constant feeling of non complexity, dissatisfaction, and tendentiousness of both cultural interpretations and interpretations of literary scholarship concerning Stur's impact. The author suggests respecting Stur's ambiguity in his works and also positive, semantically unreduced quality. He also proposes resigning on seeking of common variable quantity in the series of Stur's cognitive mistakes and discontinuities unlike he rather recommends an approach that introduces Stur's work and life as an artistic project, as directional performance, in which ascetic love to excellence is to dominate over.

The genre of monograph based on the paradigmatic link between the artist’s life and work, dating back to Giorgio Vasari’s ‘Lives of the Artists’, had already fossilised and experienced a decline in the 20th century. Nevertheless, the turn of the 21st century in Latvia marks a period of unprecedented flourishing of the genre which invited to examine also historical precedents over the 20th century. More thorough publications were only to emerge since the 1920s in Latvia. In 1925 the Independent Artists’ Association started to publish a series of monographs ‘Latvian Art’ (on Alfreds Plite-Pleita, Janis Rozentals, Rudolfs Perle); after a break, their initiative was taken up again in 1938 (on Jazeps Grosvalds, Karlis Miesnieks, Karlis Zale). A considerable shift emerges in the focusing largely on the stories of success - the fortunes of romantic victims of adverse conditions, society’s indifference or their own addictions are replaced with largely praising, optimistic narratives about the artists being rooted in their native land, overcoming numerous difficulties only to express the national spirit, more or less echoing the authoritarian mood of the 1930s. After the Soviet system was established, the first monographic publications appeared in the early 1950s. The most acceptable artists were the classics of the late 19th and early 20th century (Karlis Huns, Julijs Feders, Janis Rozentals) whose art was genetically linked to realist traditions and Russian art. In the following decades, more and more artists were included in ‘the progressive stream of Latvian art’ by detecting ‘humanity’ and a ‘realist approach’ in their heritage. From the 1970s some monographs stepped back from the double trap of belletrist and ideological superficiality towards the tradition of the catalogue raisonné. Fluctuations between individual aspirations and determined, collective worldviews and psychological priorities typify the artists’ monographs published in Latvia; a general democratisation and ‘collectivisation’ of the genre in the 20th century spearheaded popular editions with reduced scientific content that had two main tasks: firstly, the preservation of the most valuable in the national art heritage and secondly, picking out the ‘progressive’ elements from this heritage according to certain ideological requirements.

The memorial paper written to the 100th anniversary since the birth of O.M.Bogolyubov, a distinguished Ukrainian historian of science, contains an account of his life, scientific and teaching work, contributions in the development of studies on the history of mathematics in Ukraine. Also, details and a chronology of the rise and institutionalization of the history of mathematics on the territory of Ukraine, on the Academy grounds, are given. Details of Bogolyubov's work at the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (where he came in 1962) are narrated in keeping with the chronology: 1963-1974 - when he worked in the sector for history of natural science and technology at the Academy's Institute for History; 1962-1963 and 1974-2004 - when he worked in the Academy's Institute for Mathematics. His teaching work began while he was a university student. He taught in the Kiev Institute for Civil Construction Engineering during 25 years. Also, in 1975, when working in the Institute for Mathematics, he launched the scientific seminar on history of mathematics and mechanics, having great importance for fostering his disciples and, in this way, establishing his academic school. Bogolyubov could contribute significantly in science history of mathematics and applied mechanics by scrutinizing earlier publications (from XVIII century and on). As a result, novel and unknown materials were brought to scientific circulation, about the logic and continuity in the development of mechanisms in the worldwide context, the respective roles of national and foreign scientists, unknown biographic data about most distinguished ones.
