Dear colleagues and friends,

Now I am collecting the most significant papers (and book chapters)
on 'structure of history' (periodizations, classifications,
geographical factors, etc) for the 2nd volume of the Almanac in
Russian devoted to theoretical history and related fields.

I would be grateful for suggestions of new materials (both recent
and classical, but the Braudel's paper on Longue Duree is already
published in Russian) in addition (substitution?) to the first
collected materials (see below).

thank you in advance
Nikolai Rozov
