Ljubov Kisseljova. Russian History and Culture in Jaan
ACTA SLAVICA ESTONICA II. Труды по русской и славянской филологии. Литературоведение VIII. Jaan Kross and Russian Culture. Tartu, 2012 RUSSIAN HISTORY AND CULTURE IN JAAN KROSS’S NOVEL “THE CZAR’S MADMAN”* LJUBOV KISSELJOVA “The Czar’s Madman”, one of Jaan Kross’s most famous novels, was published in 1978 and has been translated into many languages. It first appeared in Russian print in 1980 in the journal “Druzhba Narodov” («Дружба наро- дов»), and as a separate publication in 1984, as translated by O. A. Samma1. This article is concerned with an aspect of this large and complex text that on first glance appears peripheral, but which is closely interwoven with the no- vel’s primary theme: the fate of Estonians under foreign oppression. The point, perhaps, is not so much in the historical era described by Kross, when Estonia was incorporated into the Russian empire and was divided between two Baltic provinces, Estonia and Livonia, where the aristocracy consisted of Baltic Ger- mans, while Estonians were, on the whole, peasant serfs. First and foremost, Kross is interested in how the Estonian nation springs forth from a downtrod- den, illiterate people caught between two foreign and antagonistic powers (their Baltic landlords and their Russian governors). Thus, along with the protago- nist, who is based on the real historical figure of Timotheus Eberhard von Bock, a Livonian nobleman and colonel of the Russian Guard who was imprisoned in the Schlüsselburg fortress by Emperor Alexander I in 1818 for his “outrageous” letter, there appears a fictional narrator, Estonian Jakob Mättik, the brother * The article was written under the research theme TFLGR 0469 “Reception of Russian Literature in Estonia in the 20th Century: from the Interpretation to Translation”. -
TAIVE SÄRG (Tartu) the EARLY HISTORY of ESTONIAN SPEECH PROSODY STUDIES 1. Introduction This Paper Presents an Overvie
Linguistica Uralica XLI 2005 2 TAIVE SÄRG (Tartu) THE EARLY HISTORY OF ESTONIAN SPEECH PROSODY STUDIES Abstract. The paper provides an overview of research on Estonian speech prosody from the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century, focusing on the discovery of three levels of word stress and quantity. The priests of mainly German origin founded Estonian linguistic tradition. The lexical stress on the first syllable was probably known before it was first mentioned in the grammar (Stahlen 1637); the existence of secondary stress was clearly stated by J. J. A. Hirschhausen (1827). Till the 19th century it was difficult to realize that the duration was not a correlate of stress in Estonian. The Estonians’ per- ception was of utmost importance in discovering the three quantity degrees, as the (supposed) first recording of three quantities in vowels (”Agenda Parva” 1622 by unknown author, presumably of South-Estonian origin) as well as their theoretical description (Masing 1824) were given by native speakers. Keywords: Estonian, prosody, word stress, word quantity. 1. Introduction This paper presents an overview of research on Estonian speech prosody from the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century, focusing on the discovery of three levels of word stress and quantity.1 The notions of syllables having primary, secondary, and weak stress and short, long, and overlong degrees of quantity (Q1, Q2, Q3)2 were discovered by the 1820s and are still used, though discussions about their details continue.3 The article analyses early written texts in Estonian (since the 13th century), early Estonian grammars (published since the 17th century) by non-Estonian priests, writings of Baltic-German Estophiles and of the first 1 See also: Ariste 1939, 1984; Kask 1958, 1970; Lijv 1962; Pikamäe 1959. -

Research Article
RESEARCH ARTICLE Are folklorists studying the tales of the folk? Jürgen Beyer Abstract As has been pointed out in recent studies, collections of pre- industrial folklore found in folklore archives were made under the influence of certain presuppositions, which gave rise to important biases in the assembled material. For all practical purposes, however, many scholars continue to base their research on these materials only. The article suggests studying folklore preserved in other institutions in order to break this deadlock. Many folklorists hold that folklore is an oral tradition characterised by variation (see Kaivola-Bregenhøj 2000). While I agree with including variation in a definition of folklore, I do not see any need to stipulate exclusive orality. Variants do not only arise in oral tradition; they also arise during the process of copying written texts, as medieval philologists well know. If certain types of folklore circulate within certain groups, this is something folklorists can and should study – regardless of whether they are dealing with the songs of drinking societies in Cambridge colleges or with letters of proclaimed heavenly origin spread primarily in less educated and less well- off circles. There is no need to label some kinds of folklore as being more “folklike” than others. Unexpected Behaviour of the “Folk” While investigating the spread of so-called heavenly letters among nineteenth- century Estonian peasants and townspeople, I chanced upon a document in the Estonian Historical Archives at Tartu, which may serve as a useful reminder that scholars ought reflect on what the object of folklore studies should be. The earliest-known heavenly letter in the Estonian language dates from 1822, when the enlightened pastor and rural dean, Otto Wilhelm Masing, printed such a text in his short-lived newspaper Marahwa Näddala=Leht (Estonian weekly) as a warning against what he regarded as superstition. -

ESTONIA, LATVIA and LITHUANIA Introduction
Extract from World of Freemasonry (2 vols) Bob Nairn FREEMASONRY IN ESTONIA, LATVIA AND LITHUANIA Introduction This paper discusses Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania together as they were all encompassed within an area called Livonia from 1796. Livonia was within the Russian Empire until the end of World War I, when it was split between the newly independent states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. In 1918–1920, both Soviet and German troops fought against Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian troops for control over Livonia, but their attempts were defeated. Polish forces also attempted to gain control over Lithuania and disputes over Lithuanian independence were finally settled by the League of Nations in 1924. Estonia Estonian History Estonia was settled near the end of the last glacial era. German invasions began in the 13th century and Estonia became a battleground for centuries where Denmark, Germany, Russia, Sweden and Poland fought their many wars over controlling the important geographical position of the country as a gateway between East and West. A timeline of Estonian territorial history is shown at the end of this section1. The Roman Iron Age in Estonia is roughly dated to between 50 and 450 AD. With the rise of Christianity, centralized authority in Scandinavia and Germany eventually led to the Baltic crusades. The east Baltic world was transformed by military conquest. First the Livs, Letts and Estonians, then the Prussians and the Finns underwent defeat, baptism, military occupation and sometimes extermination by groups of Germans, Danes and Swedes. Estonia remained one of the last corners of medieval Europe to be Christianized. -
