Russia As a Bogeyman in Poland's 2019 Domestic Political Wars
Russia as a Bogeyman in Poland’s 2019 Domestic Political Wars PONARS Eurasia Policy Memo No. 615 October 2019 Alexandra Yatsyk1 University of Tartu (Estonia) Poland will hold general elections on October 13, 2019. Recent exit polls suggest that the ruling right-wing, conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party will maintain its dominant position. A key aspect to unravel is the indirect impact of Russia on the Polish political milieu in this year’s European (May) and national (October) elections. This is particularly significant because the PiS party has extensively instrumentalized Russia-linked factors in its narrative battles. The party’s primary political opponents are the Civic Coalition (KE) electoral alliance and Donald Tusk himself, the founder of the Civic Platform (PO) party and the current president of the European Council. For this brief examination, clusters of PiS policy positions were grouped under a “Russian threat” theme. From this context, discourses in PiS campaigns about the “Smolensk tragedy”—the 2010 plane crash that killed 96 members of the Polish government including President Lech Kaczynski—stand as the prime case study of efforts to discredit and delegitimize the liberal part of the Polish elite through political manipulations of an emotional, unsettled, national chronicle that may or may not involve Russia. For his part, Tusk has accused PiS of having pro-Kremlin positions and of pursuing illiberal policies that could lead to a “Polexit” from the European Union, potentially triggering the EU’s further disintegration. In these charged political races, Russian factors have emerged as both opportunities and challenges for political actors amid a storm of accusatory narratives about governance, corruption, and allegiances.

Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 42. 322 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8071-4. This thesis is an intellectual biography of the Swedish statesman Johan Skytte (1577–1645), focusing on his educational ideals and his contributions to educational reform in the early Swedish Age of Greatness. Although born a commoner, Skytte rose to be one of the most powerful men in Sweden in the first half of the seventeenth century, serving three generations of regents. As a royal preceptor and subsequently a university chancellor, Skytte appears as an early educational politician at a time when the Swedish Vasa dynasty initiated a number of far-reaching reforms, including the revival of Sweden’s only university at the time (in Uppsala). The contextual approach of the thesis shows how Skytte’s educational reform agenda was shaped by nationally motivated arguments as well as by a Late Renaissance humanist heritage, celebrating education as the foundation of all prosperous civilizations. Utilizing a largely unexplored source material written mostly in Latin, the thesis analyzes how Skytte’s educational arguments were formed already at the University of Marburg in the 1590s, where he learned to embrace the utility-orientated ideals of the French humanist Petrus Ramus (1515–1572).

Hellerstedt Eighteenth Century the to Antiquity Late from Virtue Ethics and Education Edited by Andreas Hellerstedt Virtue Ethics and Education from Late Antiquity to the Eighteenth Century Virtue Ethics and Education from Late Antiquity to the Eighteenth Century Knowledge Communities This series focuses on innovative scholarship in the areas of intellectual history and the history of ideas, particularly as they relate to the communication of knowledge within and among diverse scholarly, literary, religious, and social communities across Western Europe. Interdisciplinary in nature, the series especially encourages new methodological outlooks that draw on the disciplines of philosophy, theology, musicology, anthropology, paleography, and codicology. Knowledge Communities addresses the myriad ways in which knowledge was expressed and inculcated, not only focusing upon scholarly texts from the period but also emphasizing the importance of emotions, ritual, performance, images, and gestures as modalities that communicate and acculturate ideas. The series publishes cutting-edge work that explores the nexus between ideas, communities and individuals in medieval and early modern Europe.

The Annual Tartu Conference on Russian and East European Studies
3. Annual Tartu Conference on Russian and East European Studies Network Leader: Viacheslav Morozov, University of Tartu Main Participating Institutions: Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies, University of Tartu, Estonia (main organiser); Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Uppsala University, Sweden; Global Europe Centre, University of Kent, UK; PONARS Eurasia (USA); participants from around 290 institutions worldwide. The Annual Tartu Conference on Russian and East European Studies is a venue for academic discussion of the fundamental cultural, social, economic and political trends affecting all aspects of people’s life in Russia and Eastern Europe. Its key aims are: - to provide a platform for a high-quality academic discussion involving scholars from Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, as well as participants from leading research institutions from all over the world; - to provide opportunities for academic socialisation of early career scholars and other participants from within the region, many of whom do not have enough resources to travel to large academic conferences in Western Europe and North America. Inaugurated in June 2016 as the flagship event of the Horizon 2020 UPTAKE consortium, the conference was initially supported by the European Commission, but became a self-standing academic event from 2019 onwards. Every year, the conference hosts more than 200 participants who come from all over the world. The greatest number, however, are scholars from Central and Eastern Europe and post- Soviet Eurasia, which reflects the conference’s role in promoting high-quality scholarship. We estimate that around 25% of all proposals come from scholars who have taken part in the conference before, meaning that it does function as an established network in the region and beyond.

The Sacred Pilgrimage the Concept of Truth in the Life and Work of Lars Skytte Karl Gustel Wärnberg
The Sacred Pilgrimage The Concept of Truth in the Life and Work of Lars Skytte Karl Gustel Wärnberg Master’s Thesis, spring semester 2017 Department of History of Science and Ideas Uppsala University Supervisor: Professor Magnus Nyman Abstract Karl Gustel Wärnberg, The Sacred Pilgrimage: The Concept of Truth in the Life and Work of Lars Skytte, Uppsala University: Department of History of Science and Ideas, Master’s thesis, spring semester 2017 This thesis studies the life and work of Lars Skytte (1610-1696), a Swedish Ambassador to Portugal who converted to Catholicism and became a Franciscan theologian, in relation to the concept of Truth. For Skytte, Truth and Catholicism are synonymous. The thesis focuses on his semi-autobiographical book Peregrinatio sancta fratris Laurentii a D. P. Sueci (1658). As a sort of intellectual biography, this study aims at situating Skytte within the context of post- reformation rhetoric and theological thought. The main question guiding the thesis is in what way Lars Skytte argues for the Truth of the Catholic Church, as opposed to what he terms ‘schismatic’ and ‘heretical’ movements. Following a set of identified arguments for the Catholic Church as the religio vera, the thesis looks at how they are employed in various ways to answer the overarching question. Keywords: Lars Skytte, Vasa, Catholicism, Trent, Intellectual History, Protestantism, Luther, Calvin, Polemics, 17th Century, Religion, Franciscan, Sweden, Truth Table of Contents Introduction 1-11 Purpose 1 Material 2-4 Theoretical Framework 5-8

On the Identities of Livonian Nobility in the Seventeenth Century*
Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2012, 1/2 (139/140), 13–32 Swedish or Livonian patria? On the identities of Livonian nobility in the seventeenth century* Pärtel Piirimäe The concept of fatherland or patria became a popular catchword in the political rhetoric of the early modern period. It was used in a broad vari- ety of meanings. The rulers could call upon their subjects as “true patri- ots” to make sacrifices for the community, including the ultimate sacrifice of dying for the fatherland. A reference to the interests of patria could be used for the justification of political innovation by the government, but it could also be employed to legitimize resistance to the government. In all these contexts, patria is used when the duties towards the community as a whole – in contrast to narrow self-interest – need to be emphasized. In recent years a number of scholars have profitably followed the concept of patria in these various contexts, providing a better understanding of early modern political morality, especially with regard to the ideas about the content and limits of political obligation.1 In this paper, rather than going into the intricacies of political moral- ity, I am looking at the usage of the concept patria from a different per- spective. Namely, the rhetoric of patria also points to the extent of politi- cal obligation in the spatial sense: when one refers to patria as an object of commitment, one has a distinct geographical space in mind. Thus the usage of patria gives us information about the identities of early modern people. It is clear that early modern individuals – not unlike the contem- porary ones – identified themselves with various communities, from one’s * Research for this article has been supported by the Program "Nordic Spaces" and the Target Financed Program No.
