    March 2013 from Alex Havard. View it in your browser. Dear Friend of HVLI, There have been a number of exciting developments since our November Newsletter. November: A presentation at the International Association of Students in Economic and Commercial Sciences, (AIESEC), St. Petersburg, Russia event. I gave a lecture in Saint Petersburg at the AIESEC event “You Lead 2012″ (a European Union University youth organization). This was a great opportunity to spread the Virtuous Leadership message to some 300 Russian students. The AIESEC network includes 86,000 members in 113 countries and territories. It is the largest student-run organization in the world, being present in over 2,400 universities across the globe. AIESEC is supported by over 8,000 partner organizations that look to AIESEC support in the development of talented individuals who are focused on personal growth. December: Leadership talks to the Nikea Publishing Company, Moscow, Russia. In December I gave a few Virtuous Leadership talks to the staff of the Nikea Company, which is the leading Orthodox Publisher in Russia. This was a Christian audience and we had a wonderful and constructive discussion about the last chapter of my book Virtuous Leadership. Nikea is located in the very heart of Moscow, right beside the Kremlin walls… Nikea is preparing a new Russian edition of both Virtuous Leadership and Created for Greatness. That will be a way to penetrate the hearts of Russian Orthodox believers. January: Virtuous Leadership seminar for Leroy Merlin, Moscow, Russia. I presented the first Virtuous Leadership seminar that I have given in French to the Russia-based Members of the Board of Leroy Merlin in Moscow.

  • Trauma and Memory: an Artist in Turmoil
    TRAUMA AND MEMORY: AN ARTIST IN TURMOIL By Angelos Koutsourakis Konrad Wolf’s Artist Films Der nackte Mann auf dem Sportplatz (The Naked Man on the Sports Field, 1973) is one of Konrad Wolf’s four artist films. Like Goya (1971), Solo Sunny (1978), and Busch singt (Busch Sings, 1982)—his six-part documentary about the German singer and actor Ernst Busch, The Naked Man on the Sports Field focuses on the relationship between art and power. In Goya, Wolf looks at the life of the renowned Spanish painter—who initially benefited from the protection of the Spanish king and the Catholic church—in order to explore the role of the artist in society, as well as issues of artistic independence from political powers. In Solo Sunny, he describes a woman’s struggle for artistic expression and self-realization in a stultifying world that is tainted by patriarchal values; Sunny’s search is simultaneously a search for independence and a more fulfilling social role. Both films can Film Library • A 2017 DVD Release by the DEFA be understood as a camouflaged critique of the official and social pressures faced by East German artists. The Naked Man on the Sports Field can be seen this way as well, and simultaneously explores questions of trauma and memory. The film tells the story of Herbert Kemmel (played by Kurt Böwe), an artist uncomfortable with the dominant understanding of art in his country. Kemmel is a sculptor in turmoil, insofar as he seems to feel alienated from his social environment, in which people do not understand his artistic works.

Built to counter the American F-15 Eagle, the Flanker is a twin-engine, supersonic, highly manoeuvrable air superiority fighter. The Flanker is equally capable of engaging targets well beyond visual range as it is in a dogfight given its amazing slow speed and high angle attack manoeuvrability. Using its radar and stealthy infrared search and track system, the Flanker can employ a wide array of radar and infrared guided missiles. The Flanker also includes a helmet-mounted sight that allows you to simply look at a target to lock it up! In addition to its powerful air-to-air capabilities, the Flanker can also be armed with bombs and unguided rockets to fulfil a secondary ground attack role. Su-27 for DCS World focuses on ease of use without complicated cockpit interaction, significantly reducing the learning curve. As such, Su-27 for DCS World features keyboard and joystick cockpit commands with a focus on the most mission critical of cockpit systems.

  • Babi Yar, the Tragedy of Kiev's Jews
    Brandeis Graduate Journal http://www.brandeis.edu/gradjournal 2004, Volume 2 All Rights Reserved Babi Yar, the Tragedy of Kiev’s Jews Victoria Khiterer Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Department, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University The mass murder of European Jews by the Nazis gathered momentum in September 1941 at the ravine of Babi Yar in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, then in the Soviet Union, which had just been occupied by the German Army. Here is where the Nazis had their first experience with luring tens of thousands of Jews into a trap from which escape was practically impossible and death almost certain. In a few days the Nazis killed over a 100 thousand Jews, practically the entire Jewish population of Kiev at that time. A careful examination the events surrounding the Babi Yar massacre provides insight into the development of the tricks used by the Germans during the Holocaust to entice Jews to leave their homes and go to the designated gathering places from which they were ushered to their execution. In spite of the importance of Babi Yar as a testing ground for the Nazi’s vile chicanery and limitless cruelty, surprisingly little serious scholarly research been published about these tragic events at the end of the summer of 1941. My article uncovers details essential to understanding the actions of the Jewish victims, their German executioners as well as the local collaborators who assisted the Nazis. The sparse literature about the horrifying events at Babi Yar includes George St. George’s1 book “The Road

  • Years of Stagnation (1969–1985) Cultural Policy the Cultural
    CHAPTER TEN YEARS OF STAGNATION (1969–1985) Cultural Policy The cultural Thaw that began after Stalin’s death did not give way to a summer. The campaign of harassment against the Nobel prize-winner Boris Pasternak and his novel Doktor Zhivago in the late 1950s showed that the Party had no intention of relaxing its ideological monopoly, and the fall of Nikita Khrushchev in 1964 meant a serious setback for all hopes of liberalisation. Two trials in the mid-60s imposed further boundaries on the freedom of writers. The future Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky was sentenced to internal exile for ‘parasitism’, while Andrey Sinyavsky and Yury Daniėl, who had dared to publish uncensored works in Western Europe under pseudonyms, received seven and five years hard labour, respectively, for ‘anti-Soviet behaviour’. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, hailed as a great bearer of truth on his debut in 1961, found himself five years later deprived of the opportunity to conduct his examination of Stalin- ism in public. The year 1970 saw the fall of the last bastion of the Thaw, the magazine New World (Novy mir), when its editor-in-chief Aleksandr Tvardovsky was forced to resign. In the field of children’s literature, events were not quite so spectac- ular. The magazine Youth did suffer a setback in 1969, when a number of prominent figures from the Thaw years were purged from its edito- rial team, but, on the other hand, Youth could by then no longer be seen as a forum for youth literature. Nor did the wave of emigration in the 1970s and 1980s have the same devastating effect on children’s literature as it had on adult writing; Anatoly Kuznetsov, Anatoly Gladilin and Vasily Aksyonov had already given up writing for young people before they decided to leave the Soviet Union.

  • Who Is a Holocaust Perpetrator?
    ©Copyright 2012 Or Rogovin Created in the Image? Holocaust Perpetrators in Israeli Fiction Or Rogovin A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Naomi Sokoloff, Chair Leroy Searle Adam Rovner Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Comparative Literature University of Washington Abstract Created in the Image? Holocaust Perpetrators in Israeli Fiction Or Rogovin Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Naomi Sokoloff Near Eastern Languages and Civilization This dissertation studies aesthetic, political and ethical dimensions of the representation of Holocaust perpetrators in Hebrew and Israeli fiction published since the mid-1940s. Drawing on recent scholarship by Holocaust historians, such as Christopher Browning and Daniel Goldhagen, and on classical and post-classical theorists of narrative, such as E. M. Forster, Wayne Booth, and James Phelan, I examine modes, models, and possibilities applied in the treatment of Nazis, Nazi collaborators, and Germans in this fiction. My dissertation demonstrates that in Hebrew and Israeli fiction published before the mid-1970s, the dominant – but not exclusive – mode of characterization renders Holocaust perpetrators as relatively simple, stereotypical, and marginal characters. In contrast, as of the mid-1980s, the dominant mode of perpetrator characterization in Israeli fiction renders Nazis and Germans as significantly more complex, nuanced, and central characters, and the conventional boundary between them and their Jewish victims is blurred. These observations are based on a comprehensive survey of the major Hebrew and Israeli texts responding to the Holocaust, and more specifically on Ka-Tzetnik’s Salamandra as a case study of earlier writing, and on David Grossman’s See Under: Love and A.
