  • Ideological and Real Socialism of My Soviet Childhood, Schooling, and Teaching: Multi-Consciousness1
    ISSN: 2325-3290 (online) Ideological and real socialism of my Soviet childhood, schooling, and teaching: Multi-consciousness1 Eugene Matusov University of Delaware, USA Abstract Through my autobiographical reflective ethnography of my Soviet childhood, schooling and teaching, I try to investigate the phenomenon of political multiple consciousness that I observed in the USSR and its development in children. In my analysis, I abstracted eight diverse types of consciousness, five of which are political in their nature. Eugene Matusov is a Professor of Education at the University of Delaware. He studied developmental psychology with Soviet researchers working in the Vygotskian paradigm and worked as a schoolteacher before immigrating to the United States. He uses sociocultural and Bakhtinian dialogic approaches to education. His recent books are: Matusov, E. (2017). Nikolai N. Konstantinov’s authorial math pedagogy for people with wings, Matusov, E. & Brobst, J. (2013). Radical experiment in dialogic pedagogy in higher education and its Centauric failure: Chronotopic analysis, and Matusov, E. (2009). Journey into dialogic pedagogy. Introduction Famous Soviet comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky commented in one of his 1970s monologue that it was very difficult to learn what exactly a Soviet person thought on any issue. He suspected that the answer could be given only through a physiological examination of the person’s body, “A person who says ‘yes’ undergoes a careful examination to check if behind this ‘yes’ is lurking hidden ‘no’. The exact answer can be achieved only by a urine test, which is very difficult to obtain from the person” (Zhvanetsky, 2001, p. 175, translation from Russian is mine). For the purpose of this investigation, I define a type of political consciousness heuristically as somewhat consistent subjectivity.

  • British Perfidy in Greece: a Story Worth Remembering - Ed Vulliamy and Helena Smith
    British perfidy in Greece: a story worth remembering - Ed Vulliamy and Helena Smith An account of the time in 1944 when the British Army, at war with Germany switched their allegiance, opening fire upon – and arming Greek collaborators with the Nazis to fire upon – a civilian crowd in Syntagma Square. “I can still see it very clearly, I have not forgotten,” says Titos Patrikios; “the police firing on the crowd from the roof of the parliament at the top of Syntagma Square in Athens. The young men and women lying in pools of blood, everyone rushing down the stairs in total shock, total panic.” And then came the defining moment: the recklessness of jeunesse, the passion of belief in a justice burning bright: “I jumped up on the fountain in the middle of the square, the one that is still there, and I began to shout: “Comrades, don’t disperse! Victory will be ours! Don’t leave. The time has come. We will win!” “I was,” he says now, “absolutely sure, profoundly sure, that we were going to win”. But there was no winning that day; just as there was no pretending that what had happened would not change the history of a country that, liberated from Adolf Hitler’s Reich barely six weeks earlier, was now surging headlong towards bloody civil war. Seventy years may have passed but time has not diminished how Titos Patrikios felt that day. Nor has it dented his recollection of events. Even now, at 86, when he “laughs at and with myself that I have reached such an age”, the poet can remember, scene-for-scene, shot for shot, what happened on the central square of Greek political life, on the morning of December 3, 1944.

(Z) Continental Congress issues first naval signal in­ structions, regarding the manipulation of sails and the positions from which the ensign and other national flags are flown. 1777 Maritime Committee of the Continental Congress orders commander of an American Squadron to take his force to the British West Indies, formulate such signal pro­ cedures as rrequired to control his ships in battle, and intercept a British merchant fleet leaving Jamaica. 1797 CAPT Thomas Truxtun, USN, issues first known American signal book using numerary system. Ten pennants, made of combinations of red, white, blue and yellow bunting, with flags for repeaters, are used. The volume contains approximately two hundred and ninety signals. (Fog signals are indicated by gun and musket fire, and night signals by lanterns and gunfire.) The Navy officially accepts CAPT Truxtun1 s visual signaling system. 180Z The signal book of Commodore John Barry, USN, and CAPT James Barron, USN, replaces Truxtun1s signal book. This was known as the Barron Signal Book. It was basically the same as CAPT Truxtun1s but more efficiently organized. 1813 Barron Signal Book is revised; substituting flags for pennants and adding shapes. 18Z4 Secretary of the Navy officially assigns responsibility for Naval Communications to the Board of Commissioners. 1847 Navy adopts the Rageus and Black Semaphore Dictionary.
