A Sentinal Appeared Carrying One of Goering's Fine Leather Cases. 'I
A sentinal appeared carrying one of Goering’s fine leather cases. ’I felt you should see this, sir.’ He opened it to reveal the big- gest collection of pills I had ever seen in my life. There were approximately twenty thousand pills in the case that Goering claimed were for a heart ailment. He would take them by the handfull, 20 in the morning and 20 at night. They were Paracodin a German syn- thetic drug used when morphine was not available. Also found among his clothes and personal effects were several ’tiny vials of Potas- sium Cyanide’. Examined each vial had enough cyanide to bring in- stant death to a dozen men. One of these vials, Goering managed to keep concealed for over a year until he committed "suicide with it only hours before he was to be hanged. "As well as his ’secret weapons’, Herr Goering’s valuables listed on the inventory and deposited under lock and key in the Gun room, were: 1 gold Luftwaffe badge; 1 gold Luftwaffe badge with diamonds; 1 deskwatch; 1 travelling clock by Movado; I large personal toilet case; 1 gold cigarette case, inlaid with amethyst and monogrammed by Prince Paul of Yugoslavia; 1 silver pill-box; 1 gold and velvet cigar-case; 1 square watch by Cartier, set with diamonds; 1 gold chain, gold pencil and cutter; 3 keys; 1 emerald ring; 1 diamond ring; 1 ruby ring; 1 semi-precious buttons; 1 small eagle with di- amond chips; 1 diamond A/C brooch; 4 cuff-links with semi-precious stones; 1 gold pin (evergreen twig); 1 pearl stick-pin; 1 gold stick- pin with swastika of diamond chips; 1 watch fob (platinum, -

International Register (Updated March 5, 2021)
Last updated: March 5, 2021 © Mark L. DeBard, MD, Registrar & International Lilac Society Freek Vrugtman, Registrar Emeritus Assistant Registrars: Claire Fouquet, David Gressley, Tatyana Polyakova International Register and Checklist of Cultivar names in the Genus Syringa L. (Oleaceae) (“Work-in-Progress” Lilac Register) For information on title, copyright, address, table of content, acknowledgements, historical overview, and introduction see Introductory Pages. RELEASE NOTE: This release includes updates to the main Register PDF and Excel files, including a massive revision to the Russian cultivar information as a result of a detailed review by our Assistant Registrar, Tatyana Polyakova. In particular, the Latvian cultivars have been updated and many Kravchenko cultivars from Uzbekistan have been added or revised. Also, multiple cultivars from Kazakhstan as well as those of Makedonskaya and Ihara have been updated or added. In addition, the Registrars have decided to maintain the British English format of cultivar names, based on 40 years of tradition and worldwide usage of the names, while converting the text to American English. This primarily affects abbreviations in the cultivar names, such that in British English, Dr, Mr, Mrs, and Ms are all written without periods after them, but in both British and American English, Mons. and Pres. do have periods. There are actually rules governing this. This release is the basis for the identically dated printed hardcopy release of the Register. It has 3561 entries including 1223 registered lilacs (in bold), 640 more with established but non- registered names, and 669 more with non-established names. There are 1025 entries with synonyms or rejected or unacceptable names. -

Marcelline Hutton Resilient Russian Women in the 1920s & 1930s The stories of Russian educated women, peasants, prisoners, workers, wives, and mothers of the 1920s and 1930s show how work, marriage, family, religion, and even patriotism helped sustain them during harsh times. The Russian Revolution launched an economic and social upheaval that released peasant women from the control of traditional extended fam- ilies. It promised urban women equality and created opportunities for employment and higher education. Yet, the revolution did little to elim- inate Russian patriarchal culture, which continued to undermine wom- en’s social, sexual, economic, and political conditions. Divorce and abor- tion became more widespread, but birth control remained limited, and sexual liberation meant greater freedom for men than for women. The transformations that women needed to gain true equality were post- poned by the pov erty of the new state and the political agendas of lead- ers like Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. -

Polar Honours of the Russian Geographical Society 1845–1995
The Journal of the Hakluyt Society December 2008 Polar Honours of the Russian Geographical Society 1845–1995 by Glenn M. Stein, FRGS & Lydia I. Iarukova, Director, Russian Geographical Society Museum Abstract This paper presents, for the first time in English, an overview of Russian polar exploration and research (almost exclusively Arctic) through a study of medals awarded by the Russian Geographical Society, their recipients and achievements, during the period of 1845–1995. Introduction The Imperial Russian Geographical Society (IRGS) was founded in St Petersburg on 6 August 1845 and was subject to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Society was composed of four departments: Physical Geography, Mathematical Geography, Statistics, Ethnography. As an incentive to those active in the geographical sciences, soon after the IRGS was founded a competition was organized and medals of the Society were awarded to explorers and researchers for geographical discoveries and investigation, including prominent work in the polar regions. The Society encouraged all persons in Russia interested in the geographical sciences to freely take part in the exchange of ideas and the start of useful public enterprises. Goals were set, the means of achieving them were discussed, and the results obtained were worked up and published. Already completed works were assessed. By 1970 it had published more than 2000 volumes of geographical literature, including the annual Zapiski (since 1846) and Izvestiia (since 1865). The advent of the First World War and the Russian Revolution caused a serious disruption in the issuance of medals. After the formation of the Soviet Union, the Society changed its name in 1926 to the State Geographical Society, and in 1938 to the Geographical Society of the USSR. -
