Two bells with elements of the town’s coat-of-arms are associated with Przemyśl: a bell from the town-hall (?) founded by the town Mayors, Czehowicz and Grzybowski, from 1740 and a bell from 1878, cast in the presence of Mayor Walery Waygart by the bell-founder Jan Jaroszewski. Another interesting item is the finely ornamented bell from Daromin near Sandomierz, made in 1935 by Ludwik Felczyński in Przemyśl, probably ordered by the contemporary Pope, Pius XI. The exposition is supplemented by documents and archive records relating to the Felczyński family, who have been connected with the bell-founding craft, since 1808 in Kałusz, and since 1915 in Przemyśl. Currently, the Felczyńscy family bells are manufactured in two bell-founding plants in Location: ul. Władycze 3, 37-700 Przemyśl, Przemyśl and in Taciszów near Gliwice.

Because the substratum displayed certain ecological similarity with carbonate rocks, we made comparative analysis of the species list. The total of 28 rare and very rare (in Belarus scale) bryophyte species were recorded, of which 3 species were included in the Red Data Book of Belarus; 3 species had a conser- vation status at the European level. Key words: bryophyte flora, concrete fortifications, carbonate rocks, comparative analysis 1. Introduction These constructions occur more often in the western part of the country. Older fortifications, built before the First In general, within a region, bryophyte floras retain World War (WWI), were the most interesting to us, in more ancient features than vascular floras.

  • Analysis of Military Landscapes in Lviv Region (Ukraine)
    Ukrainian Journal of Ecology Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 2020, 10(6), 305-309, doi: 10.15421/2020_297 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Analysis of military landscapes in Lviv Region (Ukraine) V.I.

Accepted 21.12.2020 The article analyzes the military landscapes, and a special role is given to the monuments of the military group of Lviv region. The role and significance of military landscapes in the formation of the historical and cultural heritage of Ukraine, which reflects the peculiarities of the formation of modern natural conditions of its specific regions, are considered. A chronological table is formed, their classification according to the time of origin, formation and origin of military landscapes of Lviv region. Key words: military landscapes; fortifications; natural landscapes; defensive towers; defensive shafts; mounds; wall; Lviv region. Introduction Military landscapes include complexes of military origin - ancient fortified settlements and fortresses, ditches and ramparts, mounds and more. Over time, the number of landscapes of military origin becomes smaller, which gives fewer opportunities to study their impact on nature and assess their historical value (Antonyuk, 2010). It is in Ukraine that the densest network of long-term border fortifications (SFS) built between the First and Second World Wars, known as the “Stalin Line” (old border) and the “Molotov Line” (new border), has been preserved.

Started by the Germans with the complic- ity of the Soviet Union, it led to unimaginable destruction and millions of deaths. Later, it brought many nations under Soviet domination for almost fifty years and left the world divided in the Cold War. Poland fell victim to the aggression of both totalitarian systems, German national socialism and Soviet communism. The Ribbentrop-Molotov pact entered into by the Third Reich and Soviet Union on 23 August 1939 was the prelude to a global conflict, started on 1 September 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland, the first country to demonstrate ac- tual armed resistance against the aggressor, ending the string of Berlin’s peaceful con- quests.

Maria Szonert-Binienda, Esq.* On April 13, 1990, after five decades of lies and cover-ups, the Union of Soviet Republics put forward a Communiqué on Katyn that stated: “The archival materials that have been discovered, taken together, permit the conclusion that Beria and Merkulov and their subordinates bear direct responsibility for the evil deeds in Katyn Forest. The Soviet side, expressing deep regret in connection with the Katyn tragedy, declares that it represents one of the most heinous crimes of Stalinism.”1 This announcement of profound historical significance was made in the midst of turbulent demise of the mighty Soviet Union. Thus the world that was rejoicing in the prospects of democratic Russia was eager to close the books on Katyn and once again brushed aside the cry of the Katyn victims for justice.
