Lithuanian Synagogues: from the First Descriptions to Systematic Research
arts Article Lithuanian Synagogues: From the First Descriptions to Systematic Research Vilma Gradinskaite Independent scholar, 05224 Vilnius, Lithuania; [email protected] Received: 4 March 2020; Accepted: 15 May 2020; Published: 21 May 2020 Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the development stages of synagogue research methodology in Lithuania during the four major historical periods of the country—Lithuania in the Russian Empire (1795–1918), Vilnius Region in the interwar period and the independent Republic of Lithuania (1918–1940), the Soviet period (1940–1990), and the independent Republic of Lithuania restored in 1990. Each chapter of the article deals with the issues of synagogue research, heritage conservation and management, while the part about the restored independent Republic of Lithuania and modern days includes topical issues related to synagogue restoration, commemoration and putting them into operation. The study uses two different sources: archival materials and publications. Written sources and publications are reviewed in chronological order and start from the end of the 18th century. The study employs several research methods—the historical descriptive method, the comparative method and the analysis method. Keywords: Lithuania; synagogues; conservation; restoration; renovation; rebuilding; management; commemoration 1. Introduction The article presents several fields of study: (1) a review of the first descriptions of synagogues in Lithuania; (2) an analysis of the development stages of synagogue research methodology in Lithuania; and (3) a brief reference to synagogue restoration, renovation, rebuilding, commemoration and putting into operation—topics which are currently particularly live in Lithuania today. It is not possible to understand the existing trends in synagogue research in Lithuania without considering the country’s past—the times of the Russian Empire, the interwar period and the Soviet period. -

Perception of Local Geographical Specificity by the Population of Podolia
88 ЕКОНОМІЧНА ТА СОЦІАЛЬНА ГЕОГРАФІЯ PERCEPTION OF LOCAL GEOGRAPHICAL SPECIFICITY BY THE POPULATION OF PODOLIA Oleksiy GNATIUK Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine [email protected] Abstract: The article reveals the perception of local geographical specificity by the population of Podolia. Attention is focused on five elements of the local geographical specificity: natural, historical and cultural monuments; prominent personalities; trademarks and producers of goods and services; the origin settlement names; figurative poetic names of settlements. The tasks were the following: to determine basic qualitative and quantitative parameters of regional image-geographical systems, to find the main regularities of their spatial organization, and, finally, to classify administrative-territorial units of the region according to the basic properties of image-geographic systems using specially worked out method. Analysis made it clear that the population of Podolia is characterized by a high level of reflection of the local geographic specificity. Local image-geographical systems from different parts of the region have different structure and level of development. In particular, image-geographical systems in Vinnytsia and Ternopil oblasts are well developed, stable and hierarchized, in Khmelnitskyi oblast it is just developing, dynamic and so quite unstable. To further disclosure the regularities and patterns of local geographical specificity perception, it is advisable to carry out case studies of image-geographic systems at the level of individual settlements. Key words: territorial identity, local geographical specificity, geographic image UDC: 911.3 СПРИЙНЯТТЯ МІСЦЕВОЇ ГЕОГРАФІЧНОЇ СПЕЦИФІКИ НАСЕЛЕННЯМ ПОДІЛЛЯ Олексій ГНАТЮК Київський національний університет імені Тараса Шевченка, Україна [email protected] Анотація: У статті розглянуто сприйняття місцевої географічної специфіки населенням Подільського регіону. -

Regional Fish-Based Biostratigraphy of the Late Neogene and Pleistocene of Southeastern Europe
Vestnik zoologii, 51(5): 375–392, 2017 DOI 10.1515/vzoo-2017-0045 UDC 551.7(82+9):567.5(47) REGIONAL FISH-BASED BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATE NEOGENE AND PLEISTOCENE OF SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE О. М. Kovalchuk National Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine, B. Khmelnitsky st., 15, Kyiv, 01030 Ukraine E-mail: [email protected] Regional Fish-Based Biostratigraphy of the Late Neogene and Pleistocene of Southeastern Europe. Kovalchuk, О. М. — Th is paper presents analytical results of the study of numerous freshwater fi sh fossils from almost 40 localities in the territory of southeastern Europe. It has been established that freshwater fi shes can be regarded as parastratigraphic group suitable for biostratigraphic studies. Ten ichthyofaunal assemblages have been distinguished and characterized in the paper. Th ese assemblages represent successive developmental stages in freshwater fi sh communities within southeastern Europe during the late Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene. Indices of evolutionary transformations (extinction rate, origination rate, taxonomic rotation) for ichthyofaunal assemblages have been calculated, and their trend is discussed herein. Key words: freshwater fi shes, faunal assemblage, evolution, Cenozoic, Eastern Europe. Introduction Th e modern zoogeographical structure of freshwater ichthyofauna of the Northern hemisphere was formed in general terms during the late Cenozoic (Sytchevskaya, 1989). Restoration of the key stages and features of this process is impossible without a detailed study of numerous fossil remains of bony fi shes, originating from alluvial deposits of heterochronous localities. Th e historical and faunal analysis of paleoichthyological material from the south of Eastern Europe allows us tracing the temporal change in the groups of freshwater fi sh, to determine the time of appearance of individual modern taxa and their groups in the paleontological record, to fi nd out the centers of their origin and ways of distribution, as well as to indicate some regional features of the formation of their ranges in time. -
Researching Your Lithuanian Roots
RESEARCHING YOUR LITHUANIAN ROOTS Judy Baston [email protected] Since its founding 20 years ago, LitvakSIG’s translation activities have taken place through geographic- specific Research Groups whose primary purpose is to identify, collect and translate data from available records for Lithuania. A number of towns now in Belarus and Poland but with records in Lithuanian Archives also fall under our aegis. Looking forward, LitvakSIG will be translating more records from the Lithuanian State Central Archives, including country-wide lists such as: Emigration to Eretz Israel; Evacuees to the USSR during World War II; Jewish Volunteers in the Lithuanian Army; JDC Lithuanian Survivors List. LitvakSIG is an independent organization whose database and discussion group are hosted by JewishGen. Each organization has its own, separate administrative and fundraising structure. How to find out what records exist for your towns * In LitvakSIG, towns are organized into District Research Groups for the purpose of getting records translated. To find out what District your town is in, download and check the LitvakSIG Shtetl List It will show you the current spelling of the town and what District the town is in. https://www.litvaksig.org/information-and-tools/shtetls/ * On the website for Miriam Weiner’s Routes to Roots Foundation, search the archival database for the town and also for the Uyezd (District) that the town is in. These searches will provide information on what records exist and what archives they are in. http://www.rtrfoundation.org/search.php * Browse the Index of Records in the Kaunas Regional Archive and the Inventory of Jewish Vital Records in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA), which are on the LitvakSIG Members Page. -

In particular, the following stages of this process are highlighted: the emergence of the first cities and Greek colonial cities, the emergence of ancient Russian cities as defense and artisan centers, the strengthening of urban development under the influence of the development of manufactory production, transport routes, rapid urban development under the influence of industrialization, the formation of agglo- merations and the modern period the development of urban settlements, which is characterized by the phenomenon ofdeurbaniza- tion. The main factors that had an impact on the formation of urban settlements in each period were identified, the largest cities that were formed at the time. The periods of prosperity and decline of cities, causes of urbanization, suburbanization anddeurbanization, transformation of functions of cities in the modern period and their role in resettlement systems are revealed.
