I from KAMCHATKA to GEORGIA the BLUE BLOUSE MOVEMENT FROM KAMCHATKA TO GEORGIA THE BLUE BLOUSE MOVEMENT AND EARLY SOVIET SPATIAL PRACTICE by Robert F. Crane B.A., Georgia State University, 2001 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 2005 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2013 i UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH DEITRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Robert F.

At its peak the group claimed more than 7,000 troupes and 100,000 members. At the same time that the movement was active, the Soviet state and its citizens were engaged in the massive project of building a new society reflecting the aims of the Revolution. As Vladimir Paperny has argued, part of this new society was a new spatial organization, one that stressed the horizontal over the vertical, the uniform of the hierarchical, and the collective over the individual. Relying on David Harvey’s revision of Henri Lefebvre’s spatial theories, this dissertation explores the role of the Blue Blouse movement in the production and reproduction of this new Soviet space, examining the spread of the movement across the material space of the Soviet Union; the production of a discursive space on the pages of Blue Blouse, the movement’s magazine; and the collective imagining of space on the stage during Blue Blouse performances. A detailed discussion of the Blue Blouse movement in Kharkiv, then capital of the Ukrainian SSR, examines the role that place, language, and nationality played in the new Soviet space. The concluding section deals with the displacement of the Blue Blouse from the center of the do-it- yourself theatre movement as its magazine was closed, its lead organizer arrested, and its work discredited. By aggressively promoting geographic and ethnic diversity in its bid to stretch iv “from Kamchatka to Georgia,” the Blue Blouse enabled participation in a shared spectacle, which imagined a citizenry appropriate to this new state. v TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE .................................................................................................................................

  • "Spotlight" Interview with Christina Crawford
    H-Ukraine H-Ukraine "Spotlight" Interview with Christina Crawford Discussion published by John Vsetecka on Tuesday, July 6, 2021 H-Ukraine “Spotlight” Interview with Christina Crawford Dr. Christina E. Crawford is Assistant Professor of Modern and Contemporary Architecture in the Art History Department at Emory University and faculty of Emory’s Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program. H-Ukraine: Not only are you a historian of architecture, but you are also a licensed architect and urban designer. You have produced designs and plans for a number of buildings and municipalities both domestically and internationally. What drew you to architecture as a profession, and what made you decide to teach architectural history? CC: I have always loved buildings and dreamed about becoming an architect from a pretty young age. I grew up in Maine in a house built in 1825 that provided countless spooky corners to explore and that sparked my imagination about who and what inhabited it before me. In college, I double majored in Architecture and Russian & Eastern European Studies (I’ll explain that below). I crafted a senior project that worked for both majors: a written thesis about the construction of the first line of the Moscow Metro in 1935, and a design for a contemporary Moscow Metro station. The project won a big prize at graduation—validation to pursue these disparate interests in tandem—but it took me a long time to figure out how to make a career of it. After serving as a Vice Consul in the US Consulate in St. Petersburg, Russia for a year (interviewing for and adjudicating US visas, a truly awful job), I went to architecture school at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) and then practiced as a licensed architect in Boston for nearly a decade while also teaching architectural history as an adjunct at Northeastern University—really, just for fun.

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

    Anthropogenic transformation of the ecosystem This article examines the current state of Ivan Dudin the groundwater system monitoring in the Nov- Alexander Shebesta gorod region. The groundwater monitoring observations serve as the basis for prediction assessment of water resources. The efficiency of THE GROUNDWATER water resource management largely depends on MONITORING the comprehensiveness and reliability of infor- mation on the groundwater condition. IN THE NOVGOROD REGION The existing groundwater monitoring sys- IN THE SYSTEM tem has proven to be incapable of fully imple- menting its functions. It requires a fundamental OF REGIONAL NATURE reorganization and further development at the MANAGEMENT contemporary scientific and technical level, since groundwater resource management is impossible without a quantitative forecast of groundwater condition and properties. From the perspective of rational Nature management, the leading ecological function of underground hydrosphere is carried out by fresh underground waters. Rational Nature manage- ment underlies the sustainable development of the Northwest region, which is economically viable for the European territory of the country. Key words: groundwater monitoring, aquifer system, water resources, nature management, sustainable development. Within the nature management structure of the North-western region of the Russian Federation, water resource management is of special importance. Water resource management should be performed in the framework of the adopted Concept of transition of the Russian Federation to sustainable development of 1996, the federal law on environmental protection of 2002, the Water code of the Russian Federation of 2006, and the subsoils law and it should be of targeted nature giving priority to utility and drinking water supply. Groundwater, being a part of both water resources and subsoils, is a val- uable deposit, the use of which is increasing every year in the socioeconomic sphere, mainly, within drinking and utility water supply.
