An Old Believer ―Holy Moscow‖ in Imperial Russia: Community and Identity in the History of the Rogozhskoe Cemetery Old Believers, 1771 - 1917
An Old Believer ―Holy Moscow‖ in Imperial Russia: Community and Identity in the History of the Rogozhskoe Cemetery Old Believers, 1771 - 1917 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctoral Degree of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peter Thomas De Simone, B.A., M.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas Breyfogle, Advisor David Hoffmann Robin Judd Predrag Matejic Copyright by Peter T. De Simone 2012 Abstract In the mid-seventeenth century Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow, introduced a number of reforms to bring the Russian Orthodox Church into ritualistic and liturgical conformity with the Greek Orthodox Church. However, Nikon‘s reforms met staunch resistance from a number of clergy, led by figures such as the archpriest Avvakum and Bishop Pavel of Kolomna, as well as large portions of the general Russian population. Nikon‘s critics rejected the reforms on two key principles: that conformity with the Greek Church corrupted Russian Orthodoxy‘s spiritual purity and negated Russia‘s historical and Christian destiny as the Third Rome – the final capital of all Christendom before the End Times. Developed in the early sixteenth century, what became the Third Rome Doctrine proclaimed that Muscovite Russia inherited the political and spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire as passed from Constantinople. In the mind of Nikon‘s critics, the Doctrine proclaimed that Constantinople fell in 1453 due to God‘s displeasure with the Greeks. Therefore, to Nikon‘s critics introducing Greek rituals and liturgical reform was to invite the same heresies that led to the Greeks‘ downfall. -
A Haif-Democratiic Russia Will Always Be a Half-Aliy to the United States
A Haif-Democratiic Russia Will Always Be a Half-Aliy to the United States MICHAEL MCFAUL AND NIKOLAI ZLOBIN T he improvement in Russian-American relations is one of the few positive fac- tors in the muddled picture of international relations today. Russian president Vladimir Putin's support for the American struggle against international terror- ism has elevated communications between two former enemies to a new level Politicians on either side of the ocean are calling the. United States and Russia "allies ." Noting the decisiveness with which President Putin supports the United States and Washington's extremely positive reaction to this, many Russian politi- cians and public figures have begun speaking openly of Russia's entry into West- ern organizations and unions. Membership in the World Trade Organization is discussed in Moscow as an obvious reward that Russia should receive for sup- porting American military actions; entry into the European Union is brought up as a relatively near goal, and so forth. The hopes are great, but do they reflect reality? Inflated expectations and skewed assessments of the speed and character of Russia's integration into the West are dangerous. It is true that the new situation brings forth many hopes, but it also provides the groundwork for possible future disillusion. Russia's drive toward integration must be welcomed, but without open discussions concerning the entire range of problems hampering the development of relations between Russia and the West, Russian and American officials are simply exaggerating unrealistic expectations, the collapse of which could seriously complicate relations in the future. This is a replay of the situation ten years ago, when an absence of pragmatism led to the appearance of hopes that were never realized. -

The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre's 1923 And
CULTURAL EXCHANGE: THE ROLE OF STANISLAVSKY AND THE MOSCOW ART THEATRE’S 1923 AND1924 AMERICAN TOURS Cassandra M. Brooks, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Olga Velikanova, Major Professor Richard Golden, Committee Member Guy Chet, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Brooks, Cassandra M. Cultural Exchange: The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 105 pp., bibliography, 43 titles. The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge. -
A Little Polish Lesson
Chapter 1 A little Polish Lesson This thesis studies aspectual pairing in contemporary Polish. The purpose of this chap- ter is to set the stage for the work that follows. We begin in Section 1.1 by introducing the reader to some basic concepts of Polish aspect at the level of verb.1 We hope this section will give readers with no previous knowledge of Polish some grasp of the role verbs play in the Polish aspectual system. We also want to convey a sense of why it is that many linguists regard the Polish aspectual system as complex, even somewhat mysterious. By the end of the section the reader will be acquainted with some notions that play an important role in this thesis (for example, what aspectual pairs are) and will have a basic awareness of some of the issues that make the study of Polish aspect difficult and controversial. We conclude the section by briefly sketching the central claim of the thesis: namely that the vast majority of Polish verbs really do come in as- pectual pairs, and that far from being a mysterious process, aspectual pairing in Polish is simple and regular, and gives rise to a semantically significant verb classification. Following this, in Section 1.2 we discuss in detail the evolution of the Polish aspec- tual system. Although the argumentation in this thesis is synchronic, we feel that a diachronic perspective on aspectual pairing in Polish is crucial for a full understanding of the issues involved. In particular, we feel that a diachronic perspective enables us to see how the kind of verb classification we shall propose later in the thesis could have arisen; this section supplies the necessary background information. -

Polish Katarzyna DZIUBALSKA-KOŁACZYK and 1 Bogdan WALCZAK ( )
Polish Katarzyna DZIUBALSKA-KOŁACZYK and 1 Bogdan WALCZAK ( ) 1. The identity 1.1. The name In the 10th century, individual West Slavic languages were differentiated from the western group, Polish among others. The name of the language comes from the name of a tribe of Polans (Polanie) who inhabited the midlands of the river Warta around Gniezno and Poznań, and whose tribal state later became the germ of the Polish state. Etymologically, Polanie means ‘the inhabitants of fields’. The Latin sources provide also other forms of the word: Polanii, Polonii, Poloni (at the turn of the 10th and 11th century king Bolesław Chrobry was referred to as dux Poloniorum in The Life of St. Adalbert [Żywot św. Wojciecha]) (cf. Klemensiewicz : 1961-1972). 1.2. The family affiliation 1.2.1. Origin The Polish language is most closely related to the extinct Polabian- Pomeranian dialects (whose only live representative is Kashubian) and together with them is classified by Slavicists into the West Lechitic subgroup of the Slavic languages. It is less closely related to the remaining West Slavic languages, i.e. Slovak, Czech and High- and Low Sorbian, and still less closely to the East and (1) Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk (School of English at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań) is Professor of English linguistics and Head of the School. She has published extensively on phonology and phonetics, first and second language acquisition and morphology, in all the areas emphasizing the contrastive aspect (especially with Polish, but also other languages, e.g. German, Italian). She has taught Polish linguistics at the University of Vienna. -
