Ma órjás koponyaként a hegy ormán mered, Féreg lakja s féregnél rusnyább ember-kukac. A toronyba fel! Ha ott címer után kutatsz, Felirást is találhatsz - tán épp egy hős-nevet, Tűnt hadak rémét, melyet a múlt fátyla befed, Mint begubózott hernyót szőlőlevél-kupac. Athén jeleit véste itt falba a görög, Itt verte bilincsekbe az olasz a mongolt, A Mekkából érkező itt namáz-dalt mormolt. Ma fekete keselyűk szállnak e sír fölött, S miként ott, hol egykoron gyilkos dögvész tombolt, E bástyák ormán a gyász lobogója örök. (Adam Mickiewicz: A balaklavai várromok.

The Influence of Major Geopolitical Factors on a Region's Tourist Industry and Perception by Tourists
Cactus Tourism Journal Vol. 12, Issue 2/2015, Pages 22-32, ISSN 2247-3297 THE INFLUENCE OF MAJOR GEOPOLITICAL FACTORS ON A REGION'S TOURIST INDUSTRY AND PERCEPTION BY TOURISTS. CASE STUDY: CRIMEA Constantin Ștefan1 Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania ABSTRACT Periodically certain countries or regions of the world are affected by various types of political unrest, such as wars ‒ including civil, revolutions, power struggles etc. In some cases, these regions have significantly developed tourist industries. In case these political events are violent, the result is predictable: a complete or almost complete halt of tourism in the region, most often accompanied by the destruction of the tourist infrastructure. But when these events are not violent, the effects on tourism may vary. As of 2015, the Crimean Peninsula is one of Europe's geopolitical hotspots and one of the world's disputed territories. This reputation comes from the fact that in March 2014 the territory switched sovereignty from Ukraine to Russia, following what many other states have qualified as an invasion and/or an illegally-held referendum. The purpose of this article is to examine the effects this series of events has had on the area's tourist industry. The article features the results of a research based on a survey, which was meant to evaluate the respondents' perception of the region. This survey was conducted among subjects from numerous European and former Soviet countries. The results have shown that there are certain differences in the perception of Crimea between Europe and the former Soviet states. These differences have the potential to shape the tourist industry of the region in the near future. -
Romanov News Новости Романовых
Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №128 November 2018 - Part 1/2 7 In the memory of Emperor Alexander III In 1894, Alexander III became ill with terminal kidney disease (nephritis). Maria Feodorovna's sister-in-law, Queen Olga of Greece, offered her villa of Mon Repos, on the island of Corfu, in the hope that it might improve the Emperor's condition. By the time that they reached Crimea, Alexander was too weak to travel any further, so they stayed at the Small Palace in Livadia. Recognizing that the Emperor's days were numbered, various Imperial relatives began to descend on Livadia and also the famed clergyman John of Kronstadt, who administered Communion to the Emperor. On 21 October, Alexander received Nicholas's fiancée, Princess Alix, who had come from her native Darmstadt to receive the Emperor's blessing. Despite being exceedingly weak, Alexander insisted on receiving Alix in full dress uniform, an event that left him exhausted. Soon after, his health began to deteriorate more rapidly. After a sleepless night on November 1st the Emperor knew that his time was almost up. At 10 in the morning all the family gathered around the Emperor seated in his favourite armchair, who spoke a few kind words, kissed all who were present; not forgetting to congratulate Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna's on the occasion of her thirtieth birthday. At 11 morning, the situation was described as: "(The) activity of the heart continues to diminish. Shortness of breath is increasing. Fully conscious." In the presence of Father John of Kronstadt, Alexander took communion at 11.30. -

The Muddled Legend of Yalta

Artemisia verlotiorum (Asteraceae) in the continental part of Ukraine: now in Kyiv. Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 76(1): 3–8. Abstract. Colonies of Artemisia verlotiorum (Asteraceae), an alien species of East Asian origin now widespread in many countries of the world, were found in 2018 in Kyiv in the Syrets Arboretum (Syretskiy Dendropark) and in a nearby abandoned plant nursery and greenhouses. At present, three clonal colonies have been revealed. Most probably rhizomes of that species were initially introduced to Kyiv with soil and/or imported trees and/or shrubs. However, one colony (along the wall of the administrative building of the arboretum) most probably emerged from seeds dispersed by wind from the main (supposedly initial) colony in the abandoned nursery. Before our find in Kyiv, A. verlotiorum was reliably known in Ukraine in Crimea (reported since the 1920s), Transcarpathia, and from Lviv (recent records, to be discussed in detail in a forthcoming article). Most probably A. verlotiorum is spreading in Eastern Europe mainly by rhizome fragments with soil and plant material. Other alien taxa of the Artemisia vulgaris group (especially A. -

DSCH Journal No. 34
WRITING ABOUT SHOSTAKOVICH Correspondence between Shostakovich and Vera Dulova from Our Heritage by Ye. V. Dulova translated Anthony Phillips n 2006, Our Heritage (Nashe nasledie, nos. 79–80) published Shostakovich’s letters to Vera Georgievna Dulova for the first time, together with her reminiscences of the composer, as well as the photo-journalist Viktor Akhlomov’s Iaccount of his experiences photographing Shostakovich (the latter article will appear in the next edition of the DSCH Journal). Here we present the first translation of these letters. ‘Every note I have written has in it a drop of my living blood.’ Dmitri Shostakovich’s correspondence with Vera Dulova Vera G. Dulova Issue no. 74 of our journal recently acquainted readers with the remarkable Dulov family. That publication devoted sev- eral pages to Vera Georgievna Dulova (1909–2000), a great harpist and founder of an internationally celebrated school of performance on the instrument. Fate brought Vera Georgievna from an early age into a close and long-lasting friendship with Shostakovich. Her niece Ye. V. Dulova had unique opportunities for personal contact and was able not only to hear her aunt’s spoken reminiscences but was able also to preserve the brief notes Vera Georgievna jotted down on paper, including some actual memorabilia comprising letters and postcards the composer addressed to her. The present account emerged in a somewhat paradoxical manner and reflects the fact that Vera Dulova[1] never produced any written memoirs. Her memories, she used to say, were ‘engraved in the heart.’ On tragic subjects (with which the 20th century was liberally endowed) Vera Georgievna was reticent.
