    Szymon Askenazy As a Diplomat of the Reborn Poland (1920–1923)

    Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej ■ LII-SI(3) Marek Kornat Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences Szymon Askenazy as a diplomat of the Reborn Poland (1920–1923) Zarys treści: Studium jest próbą opracowania działalności dyplomatycznej Szymona Askenazego po odrodzeniu państwa polskiego, a zwłaszcza najmniej znanej karty, jaką była jego walka o kształt granic odrodzonej Rzeczypospolitej w Genewie 1921–1923. Był to jeden z najgorętszych okresów w historii dyplomacji polskiej. Askenazy reprezentował interesy odrodzonej Polski, będącej jego ojczyzną z wyboru. Jego działania nie spotkały się jednak z powszechną aprobatą głównych obozów polityki polskiej. Był też rzecznikiem koncepcji podwójnej świadomości Żydów: żydowskiej i polskiej. Jego zdaniem Żydzi zachować winni swoją religię i kulturę, ale zarazem “niechaj połączą to z poczuciem polskości i patriotyzmu polskiego”. Outline of content: The study is an attempt to describe the diplomatic activities of Szymon Askenazy after the revival of the Polish state, and especially their least known chapter, which was his struggle for the shape of the borders of the reborn Republic of Poland in Geneva, 1921–1923. It was one of the hottest periods in the history of Polish diplomacy. Askenazy represented the interests of the reborn Poland, his chosen homeland. However, his actions did not always receive general approval of the main camps of Polish politics. He was also a spokesperson for the concept of Jews’ double consciousness: Jewish and Polish. In his

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees adds to that 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), 100,000 refugees and asylum-seekers (UNHCR 2014). The armed conflict is of continued relevance to Russia, Europe, as well as the United States. During the first 10 months,

    Red Cardell Par Jacques-Olivier Badia, publié le 29/10/2010 Le mot « éclectisme » n’a rien de vain pour Philippe Pagès. Qu’on en juge : depuis le début pas si lointain de la saison, Le Bijou aura programmé conte et chants africains, le flamenco alternatif d’Equidad Barès, les provocations craspouètes de Didier Super, de la musique kurde, de la chanson dite française et en tout cas toulousaine à bretelles (d’accordéon), Didier Labbé jazzant comme jamais, la fureur tzigano-croate de Zaragraf, le délicat Bertrand Belin, du reggae-blues nonchalant avec Kilembé et les corsitudes d’Alba. Il y fallait bien un peu de celtitude, pour le côté ethno-régional, et de rock pour faire bon poids. C’est chose faite avec la venue cette semaine de Red Cardell, trio breton qui vint déjà dans les lieux au temps lointain où l’on pouvait y danser – une lurette, et belle… Paint it red On se disait bien, aussi, que ça faisait penser à quelque chose malgré la débagoulade de notes tombées d’un accordéon à l’accent lointainement celtisant : le riff blues-rock, les paroles en angliche, le côté mauvais garçon mid-sixties… Mais il fallut arriver à la fin pour comprendre : « I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black », ça vous rappelle quelque chose ? Pas exactement les Rolling Stones pour autant (qui, à notre connaissance, n’y ont jamais chanté « we used to dream about the revolution »), mais le même esprit et la même famille – de Bretagne en Grande-Bretagne, n’est-ce pas… Le ton, en tout cas, était donné face à un public acquis d’avance, la famille au premier rang, une poignée de vieux fans braillards au fond, ici et là quelques-uns qui se souvenaient encore de Red Cardell version 93.
