FRl EDt1AN PROPOSAL TO ESTA RL ISh ON THE CAMPUS OF TEL AVIV UNIV ERSITY AN INTERHATIONAL YOUNG LEADERSHIP HOUSE (a la International House adjacent to Columbia University) l. CONCEPT In the post-philanthropic period, 35 years after statehood, in thinking of what the relationship of concerned Diaspora Jews must be to Israel, one of the clear factors is the necessity of learning the history, geography and sociol­ ogy of Israel in depth by living there for extended periods of time, and by learn­ ing the Hebrew language, so that a genuine approach between Israeli and Diaspora Jew becomes possible instead of a superficial structured stylized dance between ''sabra" and "visiting miss ion member." This was the essence of my talk at the 20th Anniversary banquet of the Y.L. Cabinet in Washington on May 21, 1983. If the above is true for Jews in general, how much more so is it relevant, nay crucial , for the trained, elite, leadership man -and-woman power represented by the phrase "Young Leadership Cabinet graduate. " That latter person is the finest human leader-type produced by the American Jewish community . By any definition, inc1uding all such criteria as ideological commitment, financial generosity, sense of responsibility and power of persuasion , the Young Leadership graduate, man or woman, is the epitome of what can be achieved through years of training, confer­ ences , missions overseas, visits to other co1T1T1unities, reading,exposure to the influence of top Israeli and American government officials.

  • Jewish and Roma Diasporas in Post- Soviet Georgia by Myr Hansen (University of Washington | Tacoma)
    Hansen: Identity and Integration | 1 Identity and Integration: Jewish and Roma Diasporas in Post- Soviet Georgia By Myr Hansen (University of Washington | Tacoma) Despite evidence of the existence of Jewish communities in the Republic of Georgia as early as the sixth century B.C., and historical accounts of Roma in the Caucasus by the 1700s, there are relatively few formal ethnographic accounts of either group within Georgia (Dymshits, 1999, p.118-119 and The Georgian Times). There are a number of reasons for the relative scarcity of ethnographic information regarding Jews and Roma in Georgia; among these issues is an antiquated model of diasporic studies that has only recently begun to change. Traditionally, ethnographic studies of diasporas have taken into considerable account the geographical and/or temporal “homeland” of the given diaspora; and while it may be true that diasporas generally do share a common geographical or historical homeland – and, indeed, the definition of their cultural identity must imply that commonalities found among members of the same culture are homological, rather than analogical, and are derived from some shared cultural ancestry – it is not always possible to define the geographical or temporal boundaries of such a homeland. Jewish and Roma diasporas represent two classic examples of this phenomenon. The Roma and Jewish diasporas are two groups that do not fit the general model of a diaspora as proposed by many ethnographers. Though it may be suggested, according to genetic evidence, that the Roma are descended from a culture that existed in India several centuries ago – and the Jewish diaspora have recently reclaimed their homeland in the State of Israel - both of these groups have, throughout history, been better understood as cultures that do not have a homeland (Marushiakova and Vesselin, 2001; Blady, 2000).

  • Literary Mythologies of Destruction and the Performance of Russian
    The Homeland Is Death: Literary Mythologies of Destruction and the Performance of Russian-ness in Soviet/Post-Soviet Punk Rock Counter-Cultures By Matthew Tappert Submitted To Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: András Pap Budapest, Hungary 2016 Abstract The 1980s and 1990s were a time of rapid proliferation of identities throughout the former Soviet Union as citizens of all ethnic backgrounds and on all points of the political spectrum attempted to make sense of the Soviet legacy. Although many of the new nationalists spoke in terms of revival of a pre-Soviet national identity and pride after decades of suppression under the socialists, this view has been challenged both by scholars of nationalism who emphasize its artificial and imagined character and by scholars of Soviet politics and culture who have recently drawn greater attention to the ambiguities and contradictions of late Soviet life, pointing out the ways that ideology was performed and subverted in the post-Stalin period. This thesis contributes to both nationalism studies and the study of late Soviet aesthetics and culture by exploring the relationship between the Siberian anarchist counter-culture of the 1980s and the crypto-fascist National-Bolshevik Party of the 1990s and 2000s. By studying the textual and non-textual content of the manifestos and actions of these communities, it attempts to find the thread of continuity between their forms of left-wing and right-wing resistance, ultimately locating it in specifically Russian literary mythologies about suffering and sacrifice which were coming back into prominence in the later decades of the USSR and which were operationalized by radical nationalist movements after its collapse.

  • Going Up/Aliyah to Israel (On the Structure and Origin of the Expression)
    saqarTvelos mecnierebaTa erovnuli akademiis moambe, t. 13, #3, 2019 BULLETIN OF THE GEORGIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, vol. 13, no. 3, 2019 Linguistics Going Up/Aliyah to Israel (On the Structure and Origin of the Expression) Lali Guledani* and Tamari Lomtadze** *Ilia State University, Tbilisi, Georgia **Akaki Tsereteli State University, Kutaisi, Georgia (Presented by Academy Member Avtandil Arabuli) ABSTRACT. In the 20th century, after the establishment of the state of Israel, the Jews started hoping that they would go back to their historical homeland. In their speech the expression “Aliyah to Jerusalem” appeared. If in Georgia the word “Aliyah” was used to denote moving to Israel, in Israel the parallel expression “going up to Israel” appeared. It is noteworthy that the Jews use the word “going up” to denote returning/moving/arrival in Israel or Jerusalem when they speak Georgian but in any other cases when they speak about arriving in another country, they use relevant higia' – “He - הגיע words. In the Hebrew language another verb is used to express this idea (the verb has arrived”). The Hebrew word “Aliyah” is a highly significant lexical unit in the new history of the people having a distinct fate. That is why, it was spread in Georgia as well. However, in order to express the distinctive historical, religious and geographical meaning that is related to the return of the Jews according to their beliefs the Georgian Jews living in Israel used a Georgian verb form asvla “to go up” (which should be a Hebrew loan translation) in parallel with the term “Aliyah”.

C/83-4 RUSSIAN NATIONALISM AND POLITICAL STABILITY IN THE USSR Dina Rome Spechler Tel-Aviv University Visiting Scholar Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Visiting Scholar Center for International Affairs Harvard University Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 and Center for International Affairs Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 June 1983 S RUSSIAN NATIONALISM AND POLITICAL STABILITY IN THE USSR* The last decade and a half has witnessed an extraordinary resurgence of Russian nationalism in the USSR. Expressed first in literary, artistic, and scholarly works and in the dissent of intellectuals, it soon became a mass phenomenon, both welcomed and encouraged and at the same time carefully monitored and curbed by portions of the political establishment. Unlike the previous upsurge of Russian nationalism, that which occurred during World War II and the immediate postwar years, this one was not initiated from above, by the top leader or leadership, but from below, by discontented citizens and concerned elites. Also unlike the Russian nationalism of Stalin's day, the contemporary movement has to a significant extent been aimed at fundamentally altering official policies and values. It is the contention of this essay that this widespread, sustained expression of intense Russian nationalist sentiment, the orientation of much of this sentiment against the political and ideological status quo in the USSR, and the high-level support which manifestations of this sentiment have received, have major implications for the stability of the Soviet political system. After indicating what is meant by the terms "political stability" and "nationalism," the essay will provide a brief chronological account of the Russian nationalist movement.

Russia Eternal: Recalling The Imperial Era In Late- And Post-Soviet Literature And Culture Abstract The return of Tsarist buildings, narratives and symbols has been a prominent facet of social life in post- Soviet Russia. My dissertation aims to explain this phenomenon and its meaning by tracking contemporary Russia’s cultural memory of the Imperial era. By close-reading both popular and influential cultural texts, as well as analyzing their conditions of production and reception, I show how three generations of Russian cultural elites from the 1950s until today have used Russia’s past to fight present- day political battles, and outline how the cultural memory of the Imperial epoch continues to inform post- Soviet Russian leaders and their mainstream detractors. Chapters One and Two situate the origin of Russian culture’s current engagement with the pre-Revolutionary era in the social dynamic following Stalin’s death in 1953.

  • Christian Democracy in Russia
    Religion, State and Society, Vol. 20, No. 2, 1992 Christian Democracy in Russia RICHARD SAKWA Christian Democracy has emerged as one of the major currents in post-communist life. This article will examine the role of Christian Democracy in Russia, placing it in the broader context of European affairs and discussing the main programmatic points and the role of the movement in Russian politics. The paper will focus on the activities of the Russian Christian Democratic Movement (RCDM), by far the largest and most influential of the numerous Christian Democratic parties and movements. Russian Christian Democracy has a distinctive approach to such issues as the reconstruction of the Russian state, democracy, nationalism and the relationship with the West, and the role of Christian politics under post-communism. However, while much of the activity is both Christian and democratic, it is by no means clear that it adds up to Christian Democracy. Christian Democracy and Post-Communism The Christian Democratic movement spread throughout Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, partially as a response to the rise of socialisist parties, but more broadly as an element in the rise of parliamentary party politics. The first formal Christian Democratic party was established in Italy in 1919, and everywhere Christian Democracy was an element in the opposition to socialism in western continental Europe. In the postwar years the Christian Democratic (DC) party in Italy and the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Germany dominated the politics of their respective countries. Christian Democratic parties have also been important in Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Austria and Switzerland, although everywhere in the 1970s there was a significant weakening of their position.
