  • The Case of Pavel Florensky
    MATHEMATICS AS THE KEY TO A HOLISTIC WORLD VIEW: THE CASE OF PAVEL FLORENSKY Vladislav Shaposhnikov* It is well known that Pavel Florensky highly praised mathematics through- out his life. Let us take his letter of 12 November 1933 to his daughter Olga as an example: «Mathematics should not be a burden laid on you from without, but a habit of thought1: one should be taught to see geometric relations in all reality and to discover formulae in all phenomena»2. But God is in the details, the saying goes, so it is worth specifying Florensky’s ideas on the subject. In this paper, I will attempt to reconstruct the main strands of his rather ambitious project concerning mathematics. A body of literature on the topic is far from being rich and exhaustive. Around 1987, some of Aleksei Losev’s amazing reminiscences of Pavel Flo- rensky were recorded and eventually published in 1990. Losev talked about “identity of philosophy and mathematics” in Florensky and insisted on Flo- rensky’s “great discovery” that mathematical objects are perceptional and alive3. The discussion was initiated by 1985-1989 publications by Sergei M. Polovinkin on Florensky’s «philosophical-mathematical synthesis»4 and by Sergei S. Demidov (joined in the 1990s by Charles E. Ford) on Florensky’s place in the history of mathematics5. I have been taking part in the discussion * Associated professor, Faculty of Philosophy, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia. 1 The previous part of the sentence is given in Avril Pyman’s translation.

  • Number 120 the Western Borderlands of The
    NUMBER 120 THE WESTERN BORDERLANDS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, 1710-1870 Edward Thaden Colloquium Paper presented June 30, 1980, at Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies The Wilson Center THE WESTERN BORDERLANDS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, 1710-1870 I The Podolian cycle of Wlodzimierz Odojewski chronicles the futile efforts of two young noblemen in the extreme southeastern corner of interwar Poland to fight during 1943-44 for what they thought was the Polish cause. A P~lish trilogy on this theme, published in 1962, 1964, and 1973, reminds us of the fascination the borderlands, or kresy, have had for Poles and of the domination they and other non-native elites and rulers once exercised over a vast region stretching from the Gulf of Bothnia in the north to the Dniester River in the south and from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Dnieper in the east. Great Russians, Poles, Germans, and Swedes competed for the control of this area since the thirteenth century. In it the major religions of Europe--Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism--clashed. Its indigenous population consisted of Estonian, Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Belorussian, Polish, and Ukrainian peasants, who were generally serfs or at least economically dependent on landowners alien to them in language and culture. Only in certain areas of Finland and P·oland did the peasants speak the language of the local nobility. Between 1710 and 1815 the Russian Empire annexed western borderlands that, in 1815, accounted for about one-fifth of the land area of European Russia exclusive of the Caucasus. From the very beginning Russian rulers and their officials wanted to bring this area closer to the rest of the empire, and under Catherine II and, again, under Nicholas I a concerted effort was made to introduce Russian laws, institutions, and language.

  • About the Project
    Introduction About the Project This handbook is the fruit of the cooperation of a Polish-Czech-German team of re- searchers that has been working together for more than ten years. Starting on the in- itiative of Prof. em. Reinhard Ibler in May 2010, when specialists in Jewish literature, history, and culture from the universities of Giessen, Lodz, and Prague first met, the project has produced nine workshops and six publications to date. Researchers from Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan joined the project in 2015. Our group consists mainly of Slavicists and comparative literature researchers who decided to explore the East-Central European literatures about the Holocaust and persecution of Jews during World War II, first by a chronological approach and second in terms of aesthetics.1 Throughout our meetings, we noticed a gap between the literary production of the Slavonic countries where the Holocaust mainly took place and recognition of these works outside this community. We want to increase the visibility and show the versa- tility of these literatures in the academic representation of the Holocaust in the arts. Mainly émigré authors (like Jerzy Kosinski, for his Painted Bird, 1965) received interna- tional attention because there was no language barrier right from the beginning. The underrepresentation is clear from the numbers: the Reference Guide to Holocaust Lit- erature (Young, Riggs, 2002) presents 225 authors but only two of them were of Czech origin, three of Slovak. For Polish the situation looks slightly better: 23 authors. In Ho- locaust Literature. An Encyclopedia of Writers and Their Work (Kremer, 2003), out of 312 entries, we count 31 Polish, 3 Czech, and not a single Slovak entry.

  • Trip to Siberia
    Glaukopis, no. 4 (2006): 74-96. The Fate of the Siberian Exiles: On the methodology of studying ethnic cleansing in the Soviet-occupied Polish lands 1 In September 1939 Hitler and Stalin jointly invaded Poland. Having conquered the state, both dictators applied terror toward its citizens. The Nazis and the Communists aimed “to completely suppress the political and sociocultural life of the Polish people forever,” according to Tadeusz Piotrowski (p. 1).2 Members of the elite, Christians in particular, were exterminated (e.g., in Katyn3 and Palmiry). The population experienced a variety of repressive measures, including deportations. Tadeusz Piotrowski selected about a score of recollections by Polish Christians to illustrate Stalin’s “ethnic cleansing” campaign in the Eastern Borderlands between 1939 and 1941.4 Unlike the contemporary Polish accounts available at the Hoover Institution,5 most of these depositions were written well after the Second World War. Therefore they reveal not only the ghastly Gulag experience of the Polish deportees but also their post-Soviet travails. Many of the authors were children during their ghastly exile to the Soviet Union, which gives their recollections a special twist. Many of them refer to their experience as “the Siberian Gehenna.” Members of the broadly understood elite were targeted first, for example Mr. Borkowski who had been “chairman of a rural co-operative and commandant of an army [mounted] reserve called Krakus” near Rożyszcze (p. 20). Community leaders of all levels and kinds as well as their families were earmarked for arrest and deportation. In some instances the arrest of the victims was carried out in a calm and orderly manner.
