Abstract
The central conception of the paper is “order” (poriadok). One of the definitions of this term given in V. Dahl’s dictionary describes “order” as “correct organisation, adherence to proportion, to sequence, to certain arrangement of things”. The derivative conception, “orderliness”, (poriadochnost) adds to the main conception a moral connotation1. It is in these two contexts — rationality and morality — that the term will be applied in this paper.
