Pushkin wanted to write an historical novel along the lines of Waverley by Sir Walter Scott. Yes, the Captain's daughter, of the story of the same name, succeeds in telling her version of the Pugachev rebellion to the empress regent, Catherine the Great, with such powerful effect that she succeeds in clearing the name of someone very dear to her.

It is a different kind of character building, which I was not familiar with. Born in Moscow, Pushkin published his first poem at the age of fifteen, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Imperial Lyceum in Tsarskoe Selo. Very helpful for a newbie to Russian stories. These stories are so famous it would have been impossible for them to live up to their reputation - another argument for reading classics as a teenager, because you experience them fresh without so much that came after. When I was young, handsome, famous and rich and had a half crazed belief in my good luck, I lost a fortune in Monte Carlo on roulette and so I can see with the authority of an expensive experience that there is no better piece of fiction to cure you of the habit of gambling than The Queen of Spades.

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.

Obtained and translated for CWIHP by Malgorzata K.

He notes that this is especially seen in Sino-Japanese relations and recent visits by Japanese politicians to China. Original Language: Polish Contents: English Translation Secret Telegram No. 901 From Moscow to Warsaw, January 21, 1974 Szyszko From Kowalczyk's conversation with the Deputy Director in the Far Eastern Department of Foreign Ministry – Dubrovsky 1. Recently, the Soviets have been increasingly following China's international activities. Its nature is becoming brutally anti-Soviet. [Chinese] are increasingly trying to involve various elements and centers in the capitalist countries, as well as those of the Third World. This is taking place in the U.S., Japan, and the FRG. The Chinese are reactivating the activities of pro-Chinese groupings in the communist and workers' movement (the latest example is the FRG). The main task of these groupings is to currently strengthen socialist elements in these countries and to bring about an internal coup, while at the same time to undermine the position of the Soviet Union and the CPSU. According to Dubrovsy, the Chinese are outright assuring the governments in some of these capitalist countries that these Maoist groupings will be loyal to the authorities and are not directed against them.

  • Consciousness and Revolution in Soviet Philosophy
    CONSCIOUSNESS AND REVOLUTION IN SOVIET PHILOSOPHY This is the first critical history of the philosophical culture of the USSR, and the first substantial treatment of a modern Sovi- et philosopher's work by a Western author. The book identi- fies a significant tradition within Soviet Marxism that has pro- duced powerful theories exploring the origins of meaning and value, the relation of thought and language, and the nature of the self. The tradition is presented through the work of Evald Ilyen- kov (1924—79), the thinker who did most to rejuvenate Soviet philosophy after its suppression under Stalin. Professor Bak- hurst sets Ilyenkov's contribution against the background of the bitter debates that divided Soviet philosophers in the 1920s, the "sociohistorical psychology" of Vygotsky, the controver- sies over Lenin's legacy, and the philosophy of Stalinism. He traces Ilyenkov's tense relationship with the Soviet philosophi- cal establishment and his passionate polemics with Soviet op- ponents. This book offers a unique insight into the world of Soviet philosophy, the place of politics within it, and its prospects in the age of glasnost' and perestrdka.

Exploring works by Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Faddei Bulgarin, I view tropes such as spending, counterfeiting, hoarding, and gambling, as well as plots of mad or blocked ambition, in relation to the cultural and economic history of Nicholas I’s reign and in the context of the importation of economic discourse and literary conventions from abroad. Furthermore, I consider the impact of culturally and economically conditioned affects—ambition, avarice, and embarrassment—on narrative tone. From the post-Revolutionary French plot of social ambition to

  • Piling Technologies in Ukraine: Some Recent Developments
    Proceedings of the First International Conference on Press-in Engineering 2018, Kochi Piling Technologies in Ukraine: Some Recent Developments George MESHCHERIAKOV Chief process engineer, EC Transzvuk, Odessa, Ukraine Michael DOUBROVSKY Professor and Head of Sea and River Ports Department, Odessa National Maritime University, Odessa, Ukraine. Director, International Press-In Association. Email: [email protected] Olga DUBROVSKA Senior Project Engineer, DeepOcean, Haugesund, Norway ABSTRACT The first part of the paper sets the actual scientific task to develop the integrated piling process aimed at the automated construction of pile foundations and sheet pile walls for civil and industrial buildings/structures. The technology is based on the application of the Modular Aggregative Piling System (EC Transzvuk), intended for pressing into the ground precast pile elements by a flow-production method with the highest possible performance at the lowest cost of labor. High productivity of piling works is provided by non-stop operation of the equipment, due to the integrity of the basic non-interruptible automated process: pile installation – piling machine displacement. The second part of the paper considers some recent innovations of piling technologies developed to simplify tubular piles press-in installation by prevention of the soil plug formation. One of the proposed approaches uses separate (step-by-step) driving of pile tip (shoe) and pile shaft concentrating energy of pile driving machine on tip or on shaft. Another approach is based on alternate driving of tubular pile and internal core avoiding formation of soil plug at the pile tip. Key words: Coordinate piling method, Automated piling system, Process modeling, Piled cluster, Mono-piled dolphin 1.

We can find remarkable considered as a neutral language background. However, several deviations between the LM and occasional iambs of the poet’s works demonstrate that poet’s prose is somehow different from prose. The extensive studies of M.

The paper talks about the rhythm of prose that the difference between the poet’s prose and the prosaic written by the poet and the reflection of the poetic rhythm in the one consists in a distribution of occasional iambs. In the prosaic text. We use the probability model built on the base of the rhythm of prose and compare the model with the rhythm of “pure” prose, there is a coincidence in the indexes of the LM prose. and occasional iambs, in the poet’s prose, there is a deviation between them.

Russia Eternal: Recalling The Imperial Era In Late- And Post-Soviet Literature And Culture Abstract The return of Tsarist buildings, narratives and symbols has been a prominent facet of social life in post- Soviet Russia. My dissertation aims to explain this phenomenon and its meaning by tracking contemporary Russia’s cultural memory of the Imperial era. By close-reading both popular and influential cultural texts, as well as analyzing their conditions of production and reception, I show how three generations of Russian cultural elites from the 1950s until today have used Russia’s past to fight present- day political battles, and outline how the cultural memory of the Imperial epoch continues to inform post- Soviet Russian leaders and their mainstream detractors. Chapters One and Two situate the origin of Russian culture’s current engagement with the pre-Revolutionary era in the social dynamic following Stalin’s death in 1953.

Pushkin: The Invention of Russian Literature Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) was an acknowledged genius , the No. 1 writer during his lifetime, not because he wrote best-sellers (although he did), but because his work, and his personality and life, exemplified qualities that brought him recognition and fame . Pushkin traced his lineage to noble families and was the great grandson of Peter the Great’s Abyssinian general, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, born an African prince . Pushkin was the Russian Byron , the Russian Mozart of poetry. After graduating from the elite Lycée, at age 21, the publication of his first major poem, Ruslan and Ludmila (1820), created a sensation , especially when he was exiled to the south at the same time for circulating poems about freedom . In 1826, back in St. Petersburg, where the Emperor Nicholas I was his personal censor, Pushkin became a professional man of letters and established a literary journal. His greatest work, the novel in verse Eugene Onegin (1833), was acclaimed as “an encyclopedia of Russian life ” and was made into a beloved opera by Petr Tchaikovsky in 1878. Students copied his bawdy poetry in their albums. His reputation with women made mothers fear for their daughters. His marriage to the beautiful Natalia Goncharova led to a duel over her honor, in which he was killed . Since then, his stature in Russian literature has only increased and he is Russia’s national poet , a literary saint with statues throughout Russia and streets named after him in every town.
