His enthusiasm for the complexities of Russian culture and of Russian Orthodoxy has been accompanied by a strong interest in crucial moments of transition, when Russian civilization was considerably transformed as a result of either internal conflicts or external confrontations. He has been lauded by students and alumni alike for his cogent lectures and insights, as well as for his warmth, humor, and accessibility. Professor Goldblatt has visited Russia many times in the past and has previously joined alumni twice on the Waterways of Russia trip. There is no doubt that he will bring to this journey a passion for the changing tides of Russian history, a love for the unique beauty of Russia’s countryside and its small towns, and an enthusiasm for the rich artistic legacy of its great cities.

    Mikhail Gorbachev and the NATO Enlargement Debate: Then and Now 443

    Mikhail Gorbachev and the NATO Enlargement Debate: Then and Now 443 Chapter 19 Mikhail Gorbachev and the NATO Enlargement Debate: Then and Now Pavel Palazhchenko The purpose of this chapter is to bring to the attention of research- ers materials relating to the antecedents of NATO enlargement that have not been widely cited in ongoing discussions. In the debate on NATO enlargement, both in Russia and in the West, the issue of the “assurances on non-enlargement of NATO” giv- en to Soviet leaders and specifically Mikhail Gorbachev in 1989-1990 has taken center stage since the mid-1990s. The matter is discussed not just by scholars, journalists and other non-policy-makers but also by major political figures, particularly in Russia, including President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. In the West, there has recently been renewed interest in the subject following the publi- cation of some declassified material by the National Security Archive, a Washington, D.C., non-profit organization with a somewhat mislead- ing name. While some of the aspects of the discussion of the “assurances” are similar in Russia and the West (conflation of fact and opinion, of bind- ing obligations and remarks relating to expectation or intent) the sub- text is different. In Russia most commentators accuse Gorbachev of being gullible and naïve and blithely accepting the assurances instead of demanding a binding legal guarantee of non-enlargement. In the West, the subtext is more often of the West’s bad faith in breaking what is supposed to be an informal “pledge of non-enlargement” given to Gor- bachev.

    Tact in Translation Negotiating Trust by the Russian Interpreter, at Home

    Tact in Translation Negotiating trust by the Russian interpreter, at home and abroad Eline Helmer University College London Anthropology of Russia and Interpreting Prof Anne White Dr Seth Graham Declaration I, Eline Helmer, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Eline Helmer 2 Abstract Being the only conversational participant with the ability to follow both sides of a cross- linguistic dialogue gives the interpreter the power to obscure or clarify. Because of heightened mutual dependency, all interpreters need trust to perform their roles. They actively build trust, both between self and client and between clients. In academic linguistic contexts, trust is often regarded as based on impartiality: the more objective and invisible the interpreter, the better and more professional he or she will be. In practice, this approach is not always possible, or desirable. The trust relationship between client and interpreter can also be based on closeness and personal interdependence. Interpreting po-chelovecheski (lit. ‘approaching someone in a humane way’) is a colloquial way for Russian interpreters to describe this approach. This thesis explores the negotiation of trust by Russian interpreters. The Russian translation market’s unregulated character, and historical framing of ‘the foreigner’ as someone to be protected and mistrusted, make for an interesting case to study face-to-face interpreting at all levels of the international dialogue. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with interpreters from St Petersburg, Moscow and Pskov, I argue that becoming ‘someone’s voice’ presents a specific caring relationship.

It is a serial cultural property that has eight component parts, all of which are linked to the worship of a sacred island that has continued from the fourth century to the present day. These component parts include Okitsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, which encompasses the entire island of Okinoshima and its three attendant reefs, located in the strait between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula; Okitsu- miya Yohaisho and Nakatsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, located on the island of Oshima; and Hetsu-miya of Munakata Taisha and the Shimbaru-Nuyama Mounded Tomb Group, located on the main island of Kyushu. Okinoshima has unique archaeological sites that have survived nearly intact, providing a chronological account of how ancient rituals based on nature worship developed from the fourth to the ninth centuries. It is of outstanding archaeological value also because of the number and quality of offerings discovered there, underscoring the great importance of the rituals and serving as evidence of their evolution over a period of 500 years, in the midst of a process of dynamic overseas exchange in East Asia.

VOLGAOLGA DREAMREAM August 2 to 12, 2013 featuring Temple Professor Therese Dolan Dear Temple Alumni and Friends, Cruising the network of rivers, lakes and canals that runs between Russia’s two great cultural capitals has always been an excellent way of seeing the Russian countryside and visiting the cities of the “Golden Ring.” Aboard the deluxe, modern M.S. VOLGA D REAM, we will take a late summer sojourn that will begin in St. Petersburg and then travel along the “Blue Road” to end in Moscow. With us throughout our journey will be Temple art historian Therese Dolan, a perennial favorite among Temple alumni travelers. Byzantine icons, Renaissance painting, Baroque palaces, masterpieces by the French Impressionists—we will explore them all in her company and with the help of a team of expert guides and lecturers. C We will spend two full days in St. Petersburg, Peter the Great’s visionary “window on the West,” and then cruise through the heartland of Mother Russia, where daily life goes on at the measured pace it has kept for generations. Villages of traditional wooden houses, onion-domed churches and fortifi ed monasteries dot the banks. For this journey we have chartered the most deluxe small ship cruising Russia’s waterways. The M.S. VOLGA D REAM also features the lowest passenger density, so there will be plenty of space and time to compare notes on what we have seen with other like-minded companions. This thoughtfully crafted itinerary features nine UNESCO World Heritage sites.
