  • Report No. 2: the Instigators Are Getting Away
    The Gongadze Inquiry An investigation into the failure of legal and judicial processes in the case of Gyorgy Gongadze Supported by: • The International Federation of Journalists • The Institute of Mass Information • The National Union of Journalists of the UK and Ireland • The Gongadze Foundation Report no. 2: The instigators are getting away 1 Introduction This second report on the case of Gyorgy Gongadze, commissioned by the International Federation of Journalists, the Institute of Mass Information (Kyiv), the Gongadze Foundation and the National Union of Journalists of the UK and Ireland, updates our first report published in January 2005.1 It reviews developments in the investigation of the case between January and September 2005. Our main conclusion, set out in the last section, is that the investigation of the process by which Gongadze’s murder was ordered has suffered serious setbacks. Progress has been made in bringing to trial interior ministry officers who allegedly participated in Gongadze’s kidnap, and were present when he was murdered. But the investigation’s failures with respect to the links between these direct perpetrators and those who ordered the murder are so blatant and numerous that they can most likely be explained as the result of continued political interference and resistance. Senior political figures have stated publicly that the instigators of Gongadze’s murder are known to investigators, but no details have been made public; this has left the impression that these statements were part of the “public relations management” of the investigation, which was meanwhile directing its focus away from the instigators. Our most serious concerns relate to the case of General Olexiy Pukach, who was named by the general prosecutor’s office as the ringleader of the gang that killed Gongadze.

    History of the Origin of the Bogurodzica Song. A Musical Monument of 1407 Ivan KUZMINSKYI History of the Origin of the Bogurodzica Song. A Musical Monument of 1407 Giesmės „Bogurodzica“ kilmė – 1407 m. muzikinis paminklas Ukraine P. Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music, ul. Architektora Gorodeckogo 1-3/11, 01001 Kyiv, Ukraine Email [email protected] Abstract In Polish musical historiography, the song Bogurodzica is considered to be the oldest artifact of Polish song culture written in a staff notation. This article attempts to study the history of this song’s emergence and distribution not only against the background of Polish musical culture of the late 14th– early 15th centuries, but also under the conditions of the Kievan Rus’ and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Firstly, the article presents the main written sources of the Bogurodzica in the 15th–16th centuries and analyzes the title, verbal text and the plot of the Bogurod- zica as well as the origins of the melody. Secondly, the text focuses on Ruthenian Court Musicians of the King Władysław II Jagiełło, musical contacts between the courts of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas and the great masters of the Teutonic Order, the place and meaning of the Mother of God churches in the Kievan Rus’, battle prayers to the Mother of God in the Ruthenian princely environment, singing to the Mother of God before battle in the Kievan Rus’ and the Ruthenian cult of the Mother of God in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This research provides new grounds to consider the Bogurodzica as a piece of work of the ancient Ruthenian culture and suggests that eventually it could be included into the contemporary musical historiography of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania.
