  • „Lublin Jest Dla Mnie Zachwycającym Miastem, Żyje Na Swoją Miarę, Czego Dziś Nie Można Powiedzieć O Wielu Miastach
    „Lublin jest dla mnie zachwycającym miastem, żyje na swoją miarę, czego dziś nie można powiedzieć o wielu miastach. Spokojny, równy rytm, wschodnie podglebie, naznaczone religijną i narodową tolerancją. (…) Im więcej poznaję ludzi (…), tym wyraźniej czuję odruch przywiązania, skurcz gardła podobny do zakochania się w Krakowie (…)”[1]. Tak o Lublinie pisał Gustaw Herling-Grudziński po wizycie, którą złożył z okazji zamknięcia sesji poświęconej „Kulturze”. Spokój, rytmiczność, być może pewna powolność w życiu miasta dla wielu Lublinian nie jest ani źródłem zachwytu, ani powodem do odczuwania dumy, stanowi raczej miarę jego prowincjonalizmu, a brak rozmachu oznacza nudę i gnuśność. Pomysł przygotowania przekazanej czytelnikom publikacji nie miał nic wspólnego z zamiarem dyskutowania o tym, czy Lublin jest prowincją, czy też nią nie jest, ale wynikał z przekonania autorów tekstów, że jest on jednym z mateczników kultury alternatywnej i warto, w formie książki, ocalić w ludzkiej pamięci lubelskie, alternatywne praktyki, ich inicjatorów i uczestników. Odegrały one znaczącą rolę w przemianach polskiej rzeczywistości stając się nośnikiem krytyki i kontestacji oraz obszarem identyfikacji postaw indywidualnych i społecznych, tak ich twórców jak i publiczności. Jako miasto akademickie Lublin sprzyjał rozwojowi kultury studenckiej i stanowił magnes dla młodych teatrów, które mogły tutaj okrzepnąć w ramach organizowanej w latach 1966 – 1974 Lubelskiej Wiosny Teatralnej i później, w latach 1976 – 1981, w Konfrontacjach Młodego Teatru, najważniejszej

  • Karty Slovanských Bohyní Baba Jaga
    KARTY SLOVANSKÝCH BOHYNÍ BABA JAGA Nechat jít, katarze, osvobození, roztržení pout, pouštění, transformace, stařena Baba Jaga přichází, aby ti do života pomohla integrovat její kvality. Ovládá všechny přírodní síly, divoké a nezkrotné, ale umí být i laskavá. Je svobodná, protože nenáleží žádnému muži a jako čarodějnice může být klidně i ošklivá. Je nespoutaná a volná. Má přístup k prameni živé a mrtvé vody, vyzná se v lese, poslouchají ji vládci noci, smrti a znovuzrození. Nepotřebuje nikomu nic dokazovat. Je jako mystická šamanka, která ti pomáhá najít skrytou moudrost a čistou pravdu. Někdy je potřeba věci nejdříve pustit, aby se mohly transformovat. Dovol si prožívat její kvality, například ve fázi stařeny během tvého menstruačního cyklu. BELA Voda, emoce, léčení, čištění, podvědomí, přijetí, čistota Bela k tobě přichází a nese poselství, že je čas ponořit se do svých vnitřních vod a přijmout, přeléčit a pustit zadržované emoce nebo situaci. Je tvým podvědomím, hlubokým a neprozkoumaným. Možná tě právě v tuto chvíli přemáhají emoce. Abys mohla vykročit vpřed, musíš stará zranění, která tě drží v uzavřeném kruhu, přijmout a s láskou pustit. Vnímej Belinu přítomnost na březích vodních toků, kde jí můžeš o svých starostech povídat. Ona poslouchá a léčí. Nebo si doma připrav solnou očistnou koupel. Dovol si vše procítit a odevzdat. Pak si do koupele můžeš přidat bylinky a vůně, aby pronikly do celého tvého těla. Nezapomeň, že pro vodu neexistují překážky, umí je obtéct, podemlít, prosáknout, dokud nedosáhne svého cíle. Využij jejích kvalit. DEVANA Lov, nezávislost, ochránkyně zvířat, panna, iniciátorka, divokost Devana přichází z divokých lesů a přináší ti luk a šíp, aby ses mohla postavit na vlastní nohy a už nikdy nebýt na nikom závislá v tom, jak hrdě kráčíš svou cestou divokosti.

Like the Romance and Germanic peoples, they are related by area and culture, not so much by blood. Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors. Slavic Runes were called "Runitsa", "Cherty y Rezy" ("Strokes and Cuts") and later, "Vlesovitsa".

  • Becoming Soviet: Lost Cultural Alternatives In
    BECOMING SOVIET: LOST CULTURAL ALTERNATIVES IN UKRAINE, 1917-1933 Olena Palko, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History December 2016© ‘This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition any quotation or extract must include full attribution.’ Abstract This doctoral thesis investigates the complex and multi-faceted process of the cultural sovietisation of Ukraine. The study argues that different political and cultural projects of a Soviet Ukraine were put to the test during the 1920s. These projects were developed and executed by representatives of two ideological factions within the Communist Party of Bolsheviks of Ukraine: one originating in the pre-war Ukrainian socialist and communist movements, and another with a clear centripetal orientation towards Moscow. The representatives of these two ideological horizons endorsed different approaches to defining Soviet culture. The unified Soviet canon in Ukraine was an amalgamation of at least two different Soviet cultural projects: Soviet Ukrainian culture and Soviet culture in the Ukrainian language. These two visions of Soviet culture are examined through a biographical study of two literary protagonists: the Ukrainian poet Pavlo Tychyna (1891-1967) and the writer Mykola Khvyl'ovyi (1893-1933). Overall, three equally important components, contributing to Ukraine’s sovietisation, are discussed: the power struggle among the Ukrainian communist elites; the manipulation of the tastes and expectations of the audience; and the ideological and aesthetic evolution of Ukraine’s writers in view of the first two components.

Since this year the feast fell on a week day, the community agreed to have the celebration with the parishioners on a Sunday before, which was on 11th September. It was a grace for us that we had a morning schedule which is unusual for us as normally our Sunday Masses are at 16h00. For this Sunday, we started at 09:30 with a Procession around Zarevbrod village while carrying the Pieta Statue and praying the Rosary; we came to Above: Parishioners with Sr. Quirina, OSB caring the Statue of the Pieta for the procession gather in the church for the Holy Eucharist, where our in Zarevbrod Bishop Jordanov Christov Petko, OFM was the main celebrant and Fr.

Our two communities were honored to have three visiting sisters at this occasion, mainly: Sr. Raimunda Gaudes da Silva, OSB who was on her vacation with us from Rome; Sr. Elisabeth-Magdalena Zehe, OSB who came from Tutzing Priory, Germany, to observe the progress of the formative activity of Novice Nadia Ruzhina, (the Novice spent her 2½ months formative activity in Bulgaria.) After the Mass, we had a programme and later we had lunch for all.

Nie zważając na mróz obok plansz wystawowych zebrała się znaczna liczba ludzi – Ukraińców i Polaków. Wśród zebranych konsul generalny RP Jarosław Drozd, konsulowie: Marcin Zieniewicz i Jacek Żur, duchowieństwo różnych obrządków z biskupem Leonem Małym na czele, przedstawiciele rady wojewódzkiej i miejskiej, zastępca mera Lwowa Wasyl Kosiw, ukraińska inteligencja z poetą Romanem Łubkiwskim i prof. Leonidem Zaszkilniakiem na czele. Przyszli również przedstawiciele praktycznie wszystkich polskich organizacji działających we Lwowie i prasy lwowskiej. Organizatorem wystawy poświęconej wydarzeniom Powstania Styczniowego na ziemiach prawobrzeżnej Ukrainy, była warszawska Fundacja „Polonia – Ruthenia”. Na miejscu, we Lwowie, inicjatywę wsparł konsulat generalny RP, władze miejskie i wojewódzkie.

Wielu najlepszych synów narodu ukraińskiego zginęło w tym powsta- niu lub trafiło na zesłanie na daleką Syberię. Wielu powstańców po upad- ku powstania znalazło schronienie w Galicji, także we Lwowie. Również wielu Polaków, Ukraińców, a nawet Niemców i Austriaków z Galicji po- szło do oddziałów powstańczych i walczyło w ich szeregach przeciw- ko wojskom carskim.
