JBANC joins in the demands of the United Darius and Girenas Flight Commemorated States, the member states of the European Union, and other international bodies calling on Russia to cease its aggression against Georgia, to accept the ceasefire, and thereupon withdraw its military forces from Georgia. Russia’s invasion of Georgia is a challenge to all democracies seeking to promote peaceful coex- istence among nations. The world’s response to Russia’s current aggression is critical since it will undoubtedly dictate the future course of Russia’s policies towards its neighbors. Therefore the United States and the European Union must take all necessary steps to end Russia’s aggression against Georgia.

  • Polish Fencing Coaches in the United States and Their Contribution to the Development of American Fencing After 1989
    MACIEJ ŁUCZAK Department of History and Organization of Physical Culture Chair of Humanistic Foundations of Physical Culture University School of Physical Education, Poznań [email protected] TOMASZ SKIRECKI Department of Polish-AngloSaxon Cultural Relations School of English Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań [email protected] POLISH FENCING COACHES IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN FENCING AFTER 1989 In the first decade of the 21st century the United States has joined the historical leading European fencing powers: France, Italy, Russia, Germany, Hungary and Poland. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens the American fencers won the gold and bronze medals in women’s individual saber – an event debuting in the Olympic program. Four years later at the Olympics in Beijing the US fenc- ers swept all three medals in women’s individual saber, bronze in women’s team saber, silver in women’s team foil and silver in men’s team saber. Olym- pic fencing, especially women’s saber fencing, is currently in its heyday in the United States.1 It is an important part of collegiate athletics and the number of fencing clubs in the USA is probably the largest in the world. 1 E. Korfanty, Preface, [in:] Z.

  • The Rise of the Lithuanian National Monuments: Cultivation, Expression
    THE RISE OF THE LITHUANIAN NATIONAL MONUMENTS: CULTIVATION, EXPRESSION AND RESURRECTION By Silvija Aurylaitė Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Balázs Trencsényi Second Reader: Professor Karl Hall Budapest, Hungary CEU eTD Collection 2013 Statement of Copyright Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract The thesis is about the cluster of interwar Lithuanian national monuments – the Vytautas Magnus War and Culture museum and the Church of Resurrection – which arose in the 1930s in Kaunas, the temporary capital of Lithuania. It draws the origins of the monuments from the prewar idea of the Lithuanian “National House” rather than the dominant historicist discourse of the authoritarian regime, propagating the memory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the lost historical center Vilnius. The dynamic experience of the interwar Lithuanian national monument is revealed instead through the developement of the three national projects questing for national cultivation, expression and resurrection.
