Annotation. The article is devoted to the dichotomy of “friends or foes” in the Russian North. The category of “otherness” is considered separately on terms of social relationships. The objects of the study were non-indigenous residents of the North Russian villages, the subject – their place in the rural society. The main sources were the modern author’s field data collected in 2007-2016 in the Arkhangelsk and Vologda Regions, as well as in the Republic of Komi, and as the supporting data – the materials of Prince V.N. Tenishev’s Ethnographic Bureau (the turn of the XIX – XX centuries). The author identifies two main categories of “foes” in the village: people born outside the village, but residing there permanently, and arriving to the village for a short period of time. A comparative analysis of pre-revolutionary materials and Soviet historiography, as well as modern field data was conducted. The article puts forward a hypothesis about the existence of internal “foes” in the North Russian village, but conclusions are made about the readiness of the North Russian rural society to welcome visitors to their surroundings. The paramount role in this is played by the willingness of the “foe” to follow generally accepted social norms of behavior in the given community. The issue of the role of internal and external “foes” in the integration and self-organization of rural society in the Russian North is also brought up.

Keywords: the North of European Russia, peasantry, rural community, social norms of behavior, strangers, newcomers.

Abstract. Science has so far recognized only four types of natural universal fields: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak nuclear fields. It is assumed that in addition to biochemical processes and genetic programs in a living organism, a specific biological field could act an active role. That would be an ultraweak “fifth field”, providing a delicate interaction with four known fields. This hypothesis is confirmed by the results of medical trials. The very small fields lead to better results in treatment than those used in the traditional practice. Biological systems are not subject to simple logic that the stronger stimuli, the better results.

Keywords: neurons, ligands, neuropeptides, the emotions, the brain, the bio-field, nuclear field, electromagnetic energy, quantum physics, the universe.
