W instynktach tych ludzi leży życie nienormowane, nieukrócone, jak w ich pra- gnieniach i tradycjach leży podnieta do czynów wychodzących poza spokojne, regularne, ciche i pracowite wytwarzanie i zjadanie chleba. Dla wszystkich takich natur Ukraina była ziemią marzeń. Wyrazy: step, Kozak, czu- mak, porohy, futor, jar, czajki, miały szczególny urok i pociąg.

B.P. – Nazwa „Kresy” ma stosunkowo niedługą historię, pojawiła się w wydanym w Krakowie w 1854 r. rapsodzie rycerskim „Mohort” Wincentego Pola.

Ziemie „ukrainne” w terminologii uży- wanej w I Rzeczypospolitej to ziemie na pograniczu ze światem zewnętrznym, czyli w obecnym znaczeniu „kresowe” – dlatego też Ukrainą w XVI w. nazywa- no województwa kij owskie i bracławskie, a w XVII w. dodatkowo Wołyń i Podole. W XIX w., w następstwie rodzenia się ukraińskiej świadomości narodowej, Ukrainą zaczęto nazywać także obszar zaboru austriackiego, obejmujący dawne województwo lwowskie – czyli Galicję Wschod- nią. Ukraińcy protestują niekiedy przeciw określaniu ich kraju mianem Kresów. Jednak nazwa ich państwa ma swój początek w przestrzeni semantycznej czasów I Rzeczypospo- litej, bowiem powstała na wspólnym obszarze politycznym Korony i Wielkiego Księstwa (w dzisiejszym sensie: polsko-litewsko-ukraińskim) dla określenia terenów wspólnego pań- stwa, przylegających do wrogich terytoriów zdominowanych przez Moskwę, Tatarów i Tur- cję (pomij am tu skomplikowane wewnętrzne relacje pomiędzy tymi trzema podmiotami).

  • Note-Worthy Music Stamps, Part 17
    F.A.P. December 2OO8 Note‐Worthy Music Stamps, Part 17 by Ethel Bloesch (Note: Part 17 describes stamps with musical notation that were issued in 2007) Ethel Bloesch has been a member of the Fine and Performing Arts Philatelists for over thirty years. Her annual article on musical notations has been a highlight of our December Journals since 1993. At that time she was asked to continue the work of Jacques Posell, whose articles on this topic had appeared since 1963. She began collecting music stamps in 1972 when she was given a Vaughan Williams stamp that had actual notes from his Sea Symphony. As any librarian would, she did a literature search (before the days of Google) on stamps with music notation. This led her to a lifelong friendship with Jacques Posell, a member of the Cleveland Orchestra and the recognized authority on this philatelic topic. It was Jacques who introduced her to the Fine and Performing Arts Philatelists. In 2002, Ethel retired after 32 years of dedicated service to the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Iowa. As an administrator devoted to the needs of the School, Ethel developed and maintained strong ties with the Iowa library community, national LIS organizations, and University of Iowa administrators, librarians, and faculty. She also found the time to mentor hundreds of students and to contribute her annual articles to the FAP Journal. Ethel’s love for music is evident in her thorough and knowledgeable articles.

It presents stories about cooperation in different fields, examples of how partner towns, villages or local institutions can grow and develop together. It proves that cross-border cooperation is a tremendous force stimulating the develop- ment of shared space and building ties over the borders. I wish all the partners involved in the projects persistence in reaching all their goals at the final stage of the Programme and I would like to congratulate them on successful endeavours in bringing tangible benefits to their communities.
