Not naming any names, but striking an unusually critical tone, Ambassador Taylor said on May 21 he had expected his term would be a time for consolidat- ing democracy and economic develop- ment in Ukraine, rather than conflict. “I had come from some exciting places, UEFA.com such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Jerusalem, Brazillian striker Jadson nets the deciding goal for Shakhtar Donetsk in overtime and I was ready for some less exciting against Werder Bremen to win 2-1 in the UEFA Cup final at Sukru Saracoglu time and more working time,” he said.

    LEOŠ JANÁČEK Born July 3, 1854 in Hukvaldy, Moravia, Czechoslovakia; died August 12, 1928 in Ostrava Taras Bulba, Rhapsody for Orchestra (1915-1918) PREMIERE OF WORK: Brno, October 9, 1921 Brno National Theater Orchestra František Neumann, conductor APPROXIMATE DURATION: 23 minutes INSTRUMENTATION: piccolo, three flutes, two oboes, English horn, E-flat and two B-flat clarinets, three bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, organ and strings By 1914, the Habsburg dynasty had ruled central Europe for over six centuries. Rudolf I of Switzerland, the first of the Habsburgs, confiscated Austria and much surrounding territory in 1276, made them hereditary family possessions in 1282, and, largely through shrewd marriages with far-flung royal families, the Habsburgs thereafter gained control over a vast empire that at one time stretched from the Low Countries to the Philippines and from Spain to Hungary. By the mid-19th century, following the geo-political upheavals of the Napoleonic Wars, the Habsburg dominions had shrunk to the present territories of Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, a considerable reduction from earlier times but still a huge expanse of land encompassing a great diversity of national characteristics. The eastern countries continued to be dissatisfied with their domination by the Viennese monarchy, however, and the central fact of the history of Hungary and the Czech lands during the 19th century was their striving toward independence from the Habsburgs. The Dual Monarchy of 1867 allowed the eastern lands a degree of autonomy, but ultimate political and fiscal authority still rested with Emperor Franz Joseph and his court in Vienna.

    TARAS BULBA NICOLAS GOGOL Ediciones elaleph.com Editado por elaleph.com Traducción de J. Pérez Mauras ã 1999 – Copyright www.elaleph.com Todos los Derechos Reservados TARAS BULBA I -A ver vuélvete... ¡Tiene gracia! ¿Qué significa ese hábito sacerdotal? ¿Así visten ustedes, tan mal pergeñados, en su academia? Con estas palabras acogió el viejo Bulba a sus dos hijos que acababan de terminar sus estudios en el seminario de Kiev y que entraban en este momento en el hogar pater- no, después de haberse apeado de sus caballos. Los recién llegados eran dos jóvenes robustos, de tímidas miradas, cual conviene a seminaristas recién salidos de las aulas. Sus semblantes, llenos de vida y de salud, empezaban a cubrirse del primer bozo, aun no tocado por el filo de la navaja. La acogida de su padre les había turbado, y permane- cían inmóviles, con la vista fija en el suelo. -Esperen ustedes, esperen; déjenme que los examine a mi gusto. ¡Jesús! ¡Qué vestidos tan lar- gos! -dijo volviéndolos y revolviéndolos en todos 3 NICOLAS GOGOL sentidos. ¡Diablo de vestidos! ¡En el mundo no se han visto otros semejantes! Vamos, pruebe uno de los dos a correr: seguro estoy de que se enreda con él y da de narices en el suelo. -Padre, no te burles de nosotros -dijo por fin el mayor. -¡Miren el señorito! ¿Por qué no puedo burlar- me de ustedes? -Porque, porque... aunque seas mi padre, juro por Dios, que si continúas burlándote, te apalearé. -¿Cómo, hijo de perro? ¿A tu padre? -dijo Ta- ras Bulba retrocediendo algunos pasos asombrado.

Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

  • FC Shakhtar Annual Report Season 2009|10
    www.shakhtar.com FC Shakhtar Annual Report season 2009|10 The season 2009/2010 turned out to be interesting and eventful. I think the fans will remember it for many years to come. WE HAVE CONSTRUCTED DONBASS ARENA – THE STADIUM IS OF A HIGH EUROPEAN STANDARD. IT MEETS THE AIMS AND AMBITIONS OF OUR CLUB. Donbass Arena was constructed for Shakhtar to play there and for the spectators to eagerly come and support their team. I think we managed to achieve this. Before the opening of Donbass Arena I had supposed that 30–35 thousand spectators were a real number for an ordinary game of the Ukrainian Championship. The first year of the stadium’s operation proved it. Shakhtar won the gold medals of 2009/2010 Ukrainian Championship. It is the fifth champion’s title of our team. This time Shakhtar starts the most prestigious European club tournament from the group stage. The Club’s management and fans are looking forward to the successful performance of our team. I’d also like to say that we are very grateful to the head coach, Mircea Lucescu, for the team he’s created. Over the last 6 years, we’ve won 4 championship titles, the UEFA Cup, and we are showing spectacular football of high European standard. Today we all believe in our team and this means for We BELIEVE in our team us a lot more than just words. with our whole HEARTS We believe in our team with our whole hearts and know, whoever our team plays against, we may expect victory.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Leoš Janáček – Taras Bulba, Rhapsody
    PROGRAM NOTES Leoš Janáček – Taras Bulba, Rhapsody for Orchestra Leoš Janáček Born July 3, 1854, Hochwald (Hukvaldy), Northern Moravia. Died August 12, 1928, Moravska Ostravá, Czechoslovakia. Taras Bulba, Rhapsody for Orchestra Leoš Janáček loved all things Russian. He formed a Russian Club in Brno in 1897, visited Russia twice in the early years of the twentieth century, and even sent his children to Saint Petersburg to study. Of the Russian writers he admired, including Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, it was the novelist and playwright Nikolai Gogol he loved most. Janáček considered writing music based on Gogol's tale of Taras Bulba as early as 1905, although a decade passed before he started work on it. He completed the score three years later, the day before his sixty-first birthday. Still, Taras Bulba is one of Janáček's "early" compositions. Taras Bulba is Janáček's first significant orchestral work. Like Jenůfa, which was premiered in 1904 but didn't come to attention in the larger music world until it was staged in Prague in 1916, Taras Bulba would wait to find its audience. When it was finally performed for the first time in January 1924, Janácek left the hall as soon as the piece was over (the concert was billed as an early observance of his seventieth birthday and he didn't want to celebrate until the actual day arrived) and he failed to hear the enthusiastic crowd calling for him. The violent, bloody story of Taras Bulba is one of Gogol's most enduring and influential works. Ernest Hemingway called it "one of the ten greatest books of all time" (although Vladimir Nabokov, normally a Gogol admirer, likened it to "rollicking yarns about lumberjacks").
