Dostoevsky in Context Edited by Deborah A Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02876-0 - Dostoevsky in Context Edited by Deborah A. Martinsen and Olga Maiorova Frontmatter More information DOSTOEVSKY IN CONTEXT This volume explores the Russia where the great writer Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–81) was born and lived. It focuses not only on the Russia depicted in Dostoevsky’s works, but also on the Russian life that he and his contemporaries experienced: on social practices and historical developments, political and cultural institutions, religious beliefs, ideological trends, artistic conventions, and literary genres. Chapters by leading scholars illuminate this broad context, offer insights into Dostoevsky’sreflections on his age, and examine the expression of those reflections in his writing. Each chapter investi- gates a specific context and suggests how we might understand Dostoevsky in relation to it. Since Russia took so much from West- ern Europe throughout the imperial period, the volume also locates the Russian experience within the context of Western thought and practices, thereby offering a multidimensional view of the unfolding drama of Russia versus the West in the nineteenth century. deborah a. martinsen is Associate Dean of Alumni Education and Adjunct Associate Professor of Russian and Comparative Litera- ture at Columbia University.

  • Fyodor Sologub - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Fyodor Sologub - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Fyodor Sologub(1 March 1863 – 5 December 1927) Fyodor Sologub was a Russian Symbolist poet, novelist, playwright and essayist. He was the first writer to introduce the morbid, pessimistic elements characteristic of European fin de siècle literature and philosophy into Russian prose. <b>Early Life</b> Sologub was born in St. Petersburg into the family of a poor tailor, Kuzma Afanasyevich Teternikov, who had been a serf in Poltava guberniya, the illegitimate son of a local landowner. His father died of tuberculosis in 1867, and his illiterate mother was forced to become a servant in the home of the aristocratic Agapov family, where Sologub and his younger sister Olga grew up. Seeing how difficult his mother's life was, Sologub was determined to rescue her from it, and after graduating from the St. Petersburg Teachers' Institute in 1882 he took his mother and sister with him to his first teaching post in Kresttsy, where he began his literary career with the 1884 publication in a children's magazine of his poem "The Fox and the Hedgehog" under the name Te-rnikov. Sologub continued writing as he relocated to new jobs in Velikiye Luki (1885) and Vytegra (1889), but felt that he was completely isolated from the literary world and longed to be able to live in the capital again; nevertheless, his decade-long experience with the "frightful world" of backwoods provincial life served him well when he came to write The Petty Demon.

  • The Formation of Latvian Literary Identity at the End of the Nineteenth – the Beginning of the Twentieth Century: Overlapping Vectors of Reception
    MAIJA BURIMA The Formation of Latvian Literary Identity at the End of the Nineteenth – the Beginning of the Twentieth Century: Overlapping Vectors of Reception The issue of national literary identity is a complex problem that is related to a common view of discourses of culture and social anthropology. Literary identity is a system of codes that may refer to just one particular national literature and express both its canonical features and processes in its periphery. Literary identity is changing in time. It depends on the poetic style of writers and affects the readers’ understanding of culture. Latvian literary identity is closely related to the processes of the history of Latvian literature. The formation of modern Latvian literature dates back to the early nineteenth century, however, the origin of really balanced search of form and content is most often attributed to Juris Alunāns’ poetry collection Dziesmiņas, latviešu valodai pārtulkotas (Songs translated for the Latvian language) that was published in Tartu (Dorpat) in 1856 and contains Alunāns’ translations from different languages of the poetry by Horace, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich von Schiller, Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Heinrich Heine, etc. This collection is noteworthy for crystallizing of an important concept of Latvian literature of the mid-nineteenth century, i.e. for a young national literature to develop its identity, a thorough study of classical literature and the improvement of Latvian literary language were needed. These features are manifest in the genre, form, and content of two fundamental texts of the second half of the nineteenth century: the Kaudzītes brothers’ novel Mērnieku laiki (1879) (Times of Land Surveyors) and Andrejs Pumpurs’ epic Lāčplēsis (1888) (Bearslayer).

  • The Astronaut's Legal Status
    The Astronaut’s Legal Status Yuri Baturin1 Doctor of Law, Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Sciences, Pilot-cosmonaut of Russia, Chief researcher, S.I. Vavilov Institute for the History of Science and Technology of RAS (Moscow, Russia) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1481-5369 Baturin, Yuri (2020) The Astronaut’s Legal Status. Advanced Space Law, Volume 5, 4-13. https://doi.org/10.29202/asl/2020/5/1 The article proposes to define the concept of “astronaut” through the four elements — specialty “astronaut,” astronaut’s qualification, profession “astronaut” and “astronaut” as the occupation. In this case, it is possible to define the concept of “astronaut” through the labor function of the astronaut. The legal status of an astronaut is considered as a generalization of practical activities in the field of manned astronautics. On the basis of spaceflights experience, additional rules concerning the rights and duties of the astronauts are proposed. A significant list of problems of the astronaut’s legal status, which are still pending, is given. It is also proposed to introduce an international component into the astronaut’s legal status, and not only to use the full range of rights and privileges of astronauts, which are provided for by international law, but also to empower the cosmonaut with the authority of a state representative at a foreign or international manned space object. Keywords: astronaut, astronaut’s labor function, professional activities of an astronaut, astronaut’s rights and obligations, astronaut’s legal status, contract for undertaking of a space mission, space law. Received: March 01, 2020; accepted: April 07, 2020 Introduction Now that the International Space Station is up and running and multilateral cooperation has become the norm, we sometimes forget how long and hard was the road to smooth cooperation in this strategic area affecting the interests of many countries.

  • Nivkhi on the Social Organization of the Gilyak, 1995 B Y Bruce Grant
    AF T E RW O R D: AF T E R L I V E S A N D AF T E RW O R L D S Nivkhi on The Social Organization of the Gilyak, 1995 B Y Bruce Grant B Y T H E A D V E N T of World War II, the lives of most Gilyaks had changed dramati- cally. The Soviet government officially recognized the use of their self-designation, “Nivkh,” and in the Soviet drive to create proletarians from primitives, the idea of “Gilyak” came to take on pejorative connotations of all things past. That the gov- er nment embraced the name “Nivkh” as a hallmark of native self-determination, but simultaneously forbade Nivkhi to speak the Nivkh language, was only one of many contradictions between tradition and modernity that their belonging in the new Sovi- et Union had set before them.1 For the new Nivkh society, one of the greatest legacies of the post-World War II period was the widespread integration of women into the workforce. Before the war, efforts to recruit women into Sovietized native institutions such as clan councils foundered on the reluctance of Nivkh men and women alike. With the conscription of Nivkh and Russian men to the war front, women all over Sakhalin and the Amur had to take the work of the fishing collectives into their own hands. During my own fieldwork on Sakhalin in 1990, one woman explained to me, I was 10 when the war started. I had only been in school a year but our mother had no money, so I started working on the kolkhoz.

Mirrors in Russian Decadent and Symbolist Prose: Valery Briusov and Dmitry Merezhkovsky Abstract Examining mirror imagery in the prose works “In the Mirror” by Valery Briusov and The Resurrected Gods: Leonardo da Vinci by Dmitry Merezhkovsky, both published in 1902, this article situates the Russian Decadent and Symbolist associations of the mirror in the pan-European literary and philosophical context. The mirror constitutes the threshold of manifold oppositions, including life and art, life and death, and reality and dream or imagination. It is a realm of alternative reality, magical and seductive, as in Briusov’s story, or potentially both demonic and divine, as in Merezhkovsky’s novel.

  • Writing a New Self and Creating a Sense for Emotional Belonging: the Case of Nadezhda Teffi, a Russian Writer in Interwar Paris
    Writing A New Self and Creating a Sense for Emotional Belonging: The Case of Nadezhda Teffi, a Russian Writer in Interwar Paris Natalia Starostina, Young Harris College When considering the great upheavals of twentieth-century European history, the experience of Russian émigrés in interwar France may strike the historian as a dramatic, sudden, and deep change in luck.1 Many Russian émigrés who ended up on the shores of the Seine after 1917 were the members of the Russian intellectual and political elites who had enjoyed the life of prestige, wealth, refined social and cultural opportunities in tsarist Russia. For many Russian émigrés, life as they knew it was turned upside down when they left Russia. They had to begin their life anew, to rebuild their identities, and to reinvent the self. The experience of women émigrés was especially difficult. Many women had lost their relatives and husbands during the First World War and the Russian Civil War, and many needed to 1 Héléne Menegaldo, Les Russes à Paris: 1919-1939 (Paris: Autrement, 1998) and “L’émigré russe en ses divers avatars,” in Figures de l’émigré russe en France au XIXe et XXe siècle.
