In Search for Common Ground: Canadian Studies in Contemporary Russia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article offers a survey of the Russian scholarly literature devoted to Canada over the last twenty years. It is based on a bibliography, comprising nearly 2000 entries, which includes the works of scholars who have published in the leading Russian academic journals devoted (at least in part) to Canada. We conclude that Canada remains a significant topic of study in Russia; scholars do not limit themselves to the relationship between the two countries; they are equally interested in elements of the Canadian experience (the history of colonization, federalism, language contact, multiculturalism, among others) that have particular relevance for contemporary Russia. Despite significant geopolitical differences between the two countries, members of the Russian Canadian studies community continue to look to Canada as, at least in certain respects, a model for their own society. This article illustrates, therefore, not only the way in which Canada is perceived abroad but also the ideological pluralism that existed in Russia, at least until 2022.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
