Abstract: The subject of this research is the potential of pedagogical pseudonomastics (science on the pseudonyms the participants of pedagogical process) as an instrument of interdisciplinary analysis of pedagogical history of white émigré of the 1920’s – early 1930’s. The object of this research is the system of pseudonyms presented in the émigré publishers dedicated to pedagogy and cognate areas. Leaning on the modern research of pseudonyms of the white émigré, the authors suggest a so-called “pedagogical filter” that allows among the fictitious names identifying those belonging to prominent pedagogues and find out the scope of works published by them. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that the authors are first to formulate the subject and objectives of pedagogical pseudonomastics as a possible instrument for studying pedagogical history of white émigré, and determination of new data complementing biography and bibliography of the Russian pedagogues abroad. The conclusion is made on importance of the factor of fictitious name for specifying the role of author within the émigré pedagogical space, as well as for understanding of editorial policy of those who covered the pedagogical theme of publishers and hierarchy of presented genres therein. The new archival documents, pseudonyms and their attributions are introduced into the scientific discourse.

Abstract: The subject of the research is Bakhtin heritage reception in Russian literary studies of the late 1980s - 1990s. That was the period when researchers came close to the problem of so called 'disputed texts' using new approaches of literary studies and other humanities. The object of the research is the polemics about the authorship of Medvedev-Voloshinov corpus of texts. The authors of the article analyze arguments of protagonists and opponents of the point of view that the texts were written by Mikhail Bakhtin. Based on the traditions of academic literary studies, experience in textual analysis, and case studies technique, the authors offer a complex method of viewing the aforesaid problem in the historico-literary and sociocultural terms. Keeping in mind that for many decades there has been a tradition to think of Bakhtin as the author of 'the disputed texts', memoirs published in 1990 and a great number of researches including those that were not so famous allow the authors of the article to conclude that already in late 1990s a Russian expert in Bakhtin studies N. Nikolaev offered a model and text analysis methods that proved the authorship of Mikhail Bakhtin.
