The Earthquake Engi- neering Research Institute initiated this series to preserve the recollections of some of those who have pioneered in earthquake engineering and seismic design. The field of earthquake engineering has undergone significant, even revolutionary, changes since individuals first began thinking about how to design structures that would survive earthquakes. The engineers who led in making these changes and shaped seismic design theory and practice have fascinating stories. Connections: The EERI Oral History Series is a vehicle for transmitting their impressions and experiences, their reflections on the events and individu- als that influenced their thinking, their ideas and theories, and their recollections of the ways in which they went about solving problems that advanced the practice of earthquake engi- neering. These reminiscences are themselves a vital contribution to our understanding of the development of seismic design and earthquake hazards reduction. The Earthquake Engi- neering Research Institute is proud to have part of that story be told in Connections. The oral history interviews on which Connections is based were initiated and are being carried out by Stanley Scott, formerly a research political scientist at the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. Scott has been active in and written on seismic safety policy and earthquake engineering for many years. A member of the Earth- quake Engineering Research Institute since 1973, Scott was a commissioner on the Califor- nia State Seismic Safety Commission for 18 years, from 1975 to 1993. In 1990, Scott received the Alfred E. Alquist Award from the Earthquake Safety Foundation. Recognizing the historical importance of the work of California’s earthquake engineers, Scott began recording oral history interviews with Henry Degenkolb in 1984. Their success let him to consider such interviews with other older engineers. He consulted Willa Baum, Directory of the University of California at Berkeley’s Regional Oral History Office, a division of the Bancroft Library. Since its inception in 1954, the Regional Oral History Office has carried out and otherwise promoted oral history interviews on a wide range of major subject areas in science and technology, natural resources and the environment, politics and government, law and jurisprudence, and in many other areas. Scott was encour- aged to proceed, and the Regional Oral History Office approved an unfounded interview project on earthquake engineering and seismic safety. All of Scott’s subsequent interviews were conducted while he was employed by the Institute of Governmental Studies at U.C. ix Untitled-4 9 29/09/2005, 6:59 Berkeley. Following his retirement from the University in 1989, Scott has continued to pursue the oral history project. For a time, some expenses were paid from a small grant from the National Science Foundation, but Scott has done most of the work pro bono. Scott has attempted to include a selection of senior earthquake engineers who have been active observers of and participants in the earthquake safety effort. In addition, he has included nonengineering professionals in related fields (geology and geophysics) who have made significant contributions to the body of knowledge in earthquake engineering. The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute learned of Scott’s interview series, and reviewed of a number of the early interview transcripts. EERI’s interest in preserving these recollections led to publication of this Oral History Series. The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute was established in 1949 as a membership organization to encourage research, investigate the effects of destructive earthquakes and the causes of building failures, and bring research scientists and practicing engineers together to solve challenging engineering problems through exchange of information, research results, and theories. In many ways, the development of seismic design is part of the history of EERI. EERI Oral History Series Henry J. Degenkolb 1994 John A. Blume 1994 Michael V. Pregnoff and John E.

Wheeler x Untitled-4 10 29/09/2005, 6:59 Foreword The first two-thirds of Egor Popov's oral history is based on four face-to-face interviews conducted in 1996. After that, however, health problems forced me to stop interviewing, whereupon we dropped the project. Several years later he approached me again, asking for help in completing what he called his autobiogra- phy, but doing so without further recorded interviews. We agreed to cast the new material in the dialog format typical of recorded sessions, but in fact we worked separately. That is how the final third of the history was done—Popov would draft sections and send them to me for editorial review. I would edit and ask questions, to which he would respond. A good deal of the material covering his first 24 years on the University of California at Berkeley faculty was prepared or revised that way. All the subsequent portions of the oral history dealing mostly with his last 30 years in Berkeley were initially prepared by Popov, working alone, and then sent to me for editing and raising questions.

    Situne Dei Årsskrift för Sigtunaforskning och historisk arkeologi 2014 Redaktion: Anders Söderberg Rune Edberg Magnus Källström Elisabet Claesson Utgiven av Sigtuna Museum SITUNE DEI Med Fornkåre genom Ryssland 2013 Rapport från den fortsatta färden med en kopia av en vikingatida båt Lennart Widerberg 1 I Situne Dei 2013 berättade jag om expeditionen med Fornkåre, en kopia av en vikingatida båt, från Sverige till Ryssland. Med start i Uppsala gick färden förbi Sigtuna och Stockholm. Vidare via Kökar, Helsingfors, Viborg och S:t Petersburg. Därefter på Neva, Ladoga och Volchov fram till målet, den gamla staden Novgorod, av vikingatidens skandinaver kallad Holmgård. Sammanlagd färdtid var 23 dagar (Widerberg 2013). Sommaren 2013 fortsatte färden från Novgorod söderut, först över den grunda slättsjön Ilmen, därefter på floden Lovat (fig. 1). Varför åka båt på Lovat? Floden är omtalad i den fornryska krönikan (också kallad Nestorskrönikan) som en del av “Vägen från varjagerna till grekerna”, dvs från Skandinavien till det bysantinska riket. Många forskare har dragit slutsatsen att svenska vikingar brukade färdas genom Ryssland med båtar och skepp längs detta stråk medan andra har ifrågasatt om det verkligen varit möjligt att ta sig fram på detta sätt. Figur 1. Fornkåres sjö- och flodfärd 2013 startade i Novgorod och avbröts strax söder om Velikie Luki. Den slingriga färdsträckan var ca 410 km. Avståndet fågelvägen är ca 260 km.

Fornkåre är 9,6 meter lång, byggd av mig som en trogen kopia av ett arkeologiskt fynd från Roslagen, den så kallade Viksbåten.

  • The German 290Th Infantry Division at Demyansk by Henning Nagel and Vance Von Borries
    The German 290th Infantry Division at Demyansk By Henning Nagel and Vance von Borries During September 1941 the summer advance into the Soviet Union by German Army Group North had largely ended. In the north, units of the Army Group’s 18th Army laid siege to Leningrad while to the east and south they stood against Soviet efforts to relieve the great siege. To the south, 16th Army entered the Valday Hills region, taking Demyansk on September 8th thereby securing Army Group North’s southern flank and establishing a link with its neighbor, Army Group Center. By the end of November the 16th Army conducted little more than local actions and the campaign in the area settled in to static warfare. The main German effort had shifted south to Army Group Center in front of Moscow. Yet, as Army Group Center began to close around Moscow, it too lost momentum and shifted to the defensive. Then the Soviets struck. What began as a limited counter-offensive against Army Group Center in December grew by January 1942 into a general strategic offensive that threatened to expel the Germans from much of the Soviet Union. Practically all German divisions in Russia were caught up in the winter campaign and at times each would find itself thrown back on its own resources. Little else would be available. In the Demyansk/Valday area all German divisions worked together and each played an important role, sometimes critical, in withstanding the Soviet tide. The story of the 290th illustrates how these divisions held together. The 290th Infantry Division (ID), part of 16th Army’s X.Army Corps in the Valday region, had been formed in March and April 1940 in the Munsterlager Troop Maneuver Area from newly trained north German personnel.

  • Scandinavian Influence in Kievan Rus
    Katie Lane HST 499 Spring 2005 VIKINGS IN THE EAST: SCANDINAVIAN INFLUENCE IN KIEVAN RUS The Vikings, referred to as Varangians in Eastern Europe, were known throughout Europe as traders and raiders, and perhaps the creators or instigators of the first organized Russian state: Kievan Rus. It is the intention of this paper to explore the evidence of the Viking or Varangian presence in Kievan Rus, more specifically the areas that are now the Ukraine and Western Russia. There is not an argument over whether the Vikings were present in the region, but rather over the effect their presence had on the native Slavic people and their government. This paper will explore and explain the research of several scholars, who generally ascribe to one of the rival Norman and Anti- Norman Theories, as well as looking at the evidence that appears in the Russian Primary Chronicle, some of the laws in place in the eleventh century, and two of the Icelandic Sagas that take place in modern Russia. The state of Kievan Rus was the dominant political entity in the modern country the Ukraine and western Russia beginning in the tenth century and lasting until Ivan IV's death in 1584.1 The region "extended from Novgorod on the Volkhov River southward across the divide where the Volga, the West Dvina, and the Dnieper Rivers all had their origins, and down the Dnieper just past Kiev."2 It was during this period that the Slavs of the region converted to Christianity, under the ruler Vladimir in 988 C.E.3 The princes that ruled Kievan Rus collected tribute from the Slavic people in the form of local products, which were then traded in the foreign markets, as Janet Martin explains: "The Lane/ 2 fur, wax, and honey that the princes collected from the Slav tribes had limited domestic use.
