Abstract:
The problem of perception of Russian politics in Galicia during the First World War by participants in military operations is considered. The relevance of the study is due to the interest of modern society in historical sources of personal origin. The novelty is determined by a wide corpus of diaries and memoirs of participants in hostilities, un-published archival ego-documents introduced into scientific circulation. Based on new sources, the actions of the Russian authorities and the army in Galicia in 1914—1916 are interpreted. Plots are revealed that are not recorded by officials in official documents. Unjustified decisions of the local administration, bureaucratic confusion and arbitrariness are analyzed. The degree of influence of official Russian propaganda on the position of combatants and Galicians is determined in the study. Different points of view among Russian society on the organization of governance in Galicia and the national and confessional policy pursued there are revealed. The diaries and memoirs of the combatants made it possible to look at the events that took place in Galicia from the perspective of an eyewitness, shedding light on the features of everyday life, both of the local civilian population, and of military units, and of the medical service who found themselves in the conquered territories.

Abstract:
In the process of survey writing, the main stages of creation and narrative features of the diary were investigated. It has been established that communicative guidelines and authorial conceptuality had influenced the poetics and typology of the diary. Despite the fact that some scholars recognize texts of this type as «works of art» and the analyzed work does not have a traditional diary composition, we classify this text as a diary-fixation of events, where the author is a combatant, eyewitness and participant in events, in some detail (in facts, documents, evidence) reflects the realities of war. At the same time, it is a socio-political diary, deliberately written by the author for publication. Focusing on a wide readership, publishing parts of the diary on social networks and online publications in the absence of objective information about the war led to the format of the presentation, genre features, influenced the chronology, lack of confession and privacy in the text, intimate moments and more. In addition, the diary clearly demonstrates the decline in the era of postmodern metanarrative (J.-F. Lyotard), in particular in the literature of non-fiction. The peculiarities of manifestation in the diary of artistic and publicistic origin are revealed and analyzed, among which there are the propaganda components, historical appeal, archetypes of Cossacks, critical attitude of reflection of the realities of war, usage of the spectrum of journalistic genres (article, obituary, portrait essay, etc.), essay type, presentation of humor and sarcasm, image system, etc. The text raises pressing social issues caused by the war: the development of the Ukrainian army, lack of national consciousness, etc., intensified social dialogue, the formation of public opinion, and self-determination of every Ukrainian. The artistic principle is implemented in the elements of lyricization, the aesthetical value of the diary (reflection of several emotions), compositional features (exposure, development of action, culmination, etc.), the system of images, and more. In general, artistic and publicistic components are harmoniously synthesized with the documentary component of the text.

Abstract:
The capture of the town of Rahovo in Bulgaria (now Oryahovo) on November 9, 1877 does not belong to the significant events of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878, but in the history of Romania, where this war is treated as a war for independence, it is interpreted as “an important moment of the operation to encircle the Plevna Ottoman grouping” and is on a par with the capture of Grivitsky redoubt No. 1 on August 30, 1877. There is a widespread claim in historiography that the Romanian detachment stormed Rahovo. The study of published documents, primarily the multi-volume “Collection of Materials on the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 on the Balkan Peninsula”, as well as the diaries of Russian officers who participated in this war, allows us to show how factual errors and historical myths arise. The article shows that the Russian-Romanian detachment solved a tactical problem — Rahovo was liberated from the Turks, and a Romanian garrison was located in it. But the fortifications and the city were not taken during the fight, the Romanian troops could not defeat the Turks in battle, and entered Rahovo only after the Turkish garrison had left it. The statements about the storming of Rahovo as well as Grivitsky redoubt No. 1 by Romanians refer to the same hoax, deliberately created in 1877 for the glory and growth of popularity of Prince Charles in Romania, to strengthen the authority of his dynasty.

Abstract:
The article deals with how Muscovy, in the XVth – early to mid-XVIIth centuries, changed the ethnic composition of the Siverian Lands and the Upper Oka Principalities – the then eastern territories of Rus-Ukraine – due to large-scale ethnic cleansing and their subsequent settlement by Muscovites. It is shown how, in the course of expansionist practices at the dawn of the Russian Empire formation, modern methods of hybrid war arose, with its propaganda, seizure of territories, looting, extermination and deportation of people. There is an analysis of the insufficiently researched events of the late XVth to early XVIIth centuries in eastern Rus-Ukraine, in the Siverian Lands and on its eastern border – in the Upper Oka Principalities. These territories, which, along with other Ukrainian lands, previously belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and were occupied by Muscovy in the course of two wars, were inhabited by Sevryuks and minor communities – Mtsenskians, Lyubuchans, Kozelskians and others. The article’s task is to trace the rhetoric of Moscow’s ruling circles with regard to substantiating the imperial expansion, as well as to study actions of the conquerors from the point of view of identifying their ethnic component, including ethnic cleansing carried out by them. Sources of the study are ambassadorial documents, chronicles, memoirs and diaries of foreigners. Methodology of this historical and anthropological investigation includes achievements of scholars in studying ethnocentric conceptions (Justin Stagl, Anthony Smith, Oleksiy Tolochko) and the behavior of war people in pre-modern times (Philippe Contamine, Natalia Yakovenko). Result. During Muscovite-Lithuanian wars, with the first of which (1486–1494) undeclared, Moscow, for justifying its actions, widely used extensively deception and information sabotage (accusations of intimidating Orthodoxy, etc.), statements about the alleged patrimonial right to the former Ancient Rus lands. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between the conquerors and the local population, in which the own-alien contraposition is displayed. Attention is drawn to the cruel, even for the Middle Ages, Muscovite practices in relation to aborigines: looting, terror, murders, taking prisoners, and even enticement of local princes to their side, annexation and colonization of lands. During the second war (1500–1503), only the lands of the princes, whom Moscow lured to its side by lavish promises and deception, escaped plunder. After the annexation of Sivershchyna, Muscovites started to populate these territories on a mass scale, which, along with the oppression of autochthons, caused dissatisfaction among the latter. Attention is also drawn to the peculiar separatism of Sevryuks, who, during the Time of Troubles in Muscovy in the early XVIIth century, have given support to False Dmitrys, chieftain Bolotnikov and other impostors. To this, Moscow authorities responded with brutal terror, in the course of which the rebels were dealt with in the most terrible way. It resulted in devastation of Sivershchyna, while the remains of aboriginal population were assimilated. Conclusion. The comparison between Russia’s expansionist practices of today and five-to-three hundred years ago, including the great-power demagogy of Russian rulers, as justification for conquest, as well as the predatory behavior of Russian subjects, demonstrates a significant similarity. This indicates that the emergence of the current ideology of Rashism and Rashist practices goes back to old times, when the future Russian Empire just began to come into being.

Abstract:
The article raises the problems of the Mennonite community's reflection on the reforms in Russian Empire as well as the modernization of social, political and economic environment in 1861–1914, during the First World War, the recurring power changes and political anarchy in Ukraine during the Civil War. The author examines the Mennonites' attempts to adjust the changes in reality, the cause-and-effect relationships of arising social crisis which ultimately led to the destruction of the ethnoreligious community's canonical foundations. The research bases on the testimonies of the eyewitnesses (given in their diaries), memoirs and other published materials. The author examines the gradual deviation processes among the Mennonite society that were transforming the fundamental statements of the congregations’ doctrine and their moral norms and traditions. It is analyzed whether the Russian-Ukrainian Mennonites remained an ethno-religious conglomerate or lost their inherent values. As a result it has been proved the following: the Mennonites in Russia in a short period from the beginning of the reforms of the 1860s – 1870s to the beginning of the 20th century, went from a close-knit religious community to an opened and spiritually weakened unification. During the period of “challenges and reactions” of the First World War and the Civil War, the leaders of the community were unable to maintain the unity and cohesion, a complex of moral and ethical markers, pacifist views, social institutions, which led to a deformation of values and disorientation in further actions. Only a small part of the Mennonites society was able to organize itself and, thanks to the support of the Canadian Mennonites communities, it emigrated in 1923–1926 and thus avoided the Bolshevik regime repressions. Key words: the Mennonites, World War I, Civil War, Makhno, identity.

Abstract:
Among wartime and postwar Americans, North and South, an appetite to narrate their experiences of preserving Union or achieving state sovereignty is reflected in their many accounts of the coming of the Civil War, its fighting, and its aftermath. Private letters from the home front and front line were regularly written and received; despite shortages of paper and ink, diaries and journals were diligently kept, recording experiences at both local and state levels; and memoirs and reminiscences, usually written many years after the events they describe, were produced for regional, national, and even international literary markets. These eyewitness accounts from a wide range of historical actors offer scholars, students, and general readers a remarkably detailed, intimate, and valuable glimpse of lived experience during four years of fighting that shaped a nation.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT On July 10, 1941, the German 100th Light Infantry Division rolled into the Ukrainian Jewish shtetl of Zinkiv. Over a three-day period, this division committed gratuitous acts of violence and abject terror. While the total number of murdered Jews was relatively small, the author uses the corpus of pre-invasion orders and daily military objectives and reports in official war diaries, as well as eyewitness accounts to examine how and why these frontline soldiers perpetrated the “Holocaust by Bullets”1 during the initial phase of the Operation Barbarossa campaign in “the murky world where combat and ideology meet.”2

Abstract:
Abstract As the Thirty Years’ War was the greatest demographic crisis in Europe between the Black Death and the two World Wars, it is unsurprising that the conflict created the greatest number of refugees in the continent’s history prior to the twentieth century. However, the limited scholarship on displaced persons between 1618 and 1648 has been exclusively based on micro-level eyewitness accounts, diaries, and memoirs. This article broadens the scope of studies on refugees during the Thirty Years’ War beyond such individualistic sources through an examination of their treatment in newsprint, a source base which has hitherto been entirely overlooked. A case study based on over 200 newspaper reports allows this article to examine how the frequency of appearances of refugees in newsprint, as well as the language and vocabulary used to describe them, can provide a valuable insight into the experiences of displaced persons and the attitudes of contemporaries in mid-seventeenth century Europe.

Abstract:
This chapter studies George Frost Kennan's diaries that the historian Frank Costigliola published in 2014. Kennan has long been renowned for having formulated the containment doctrine that guided American policymakers as they lurched through the Cold War, as well as for his significant role in shaping US foreign policy as both a diplomat and thinker. Over many decades, biographers, foreign policy hands, politicians, intellectuals, and journalists have showered Kennan with praise and hailed him as the prime example of a grand strategist. For all the scholarly disputes about Kennan, there is general agreement that he was correct about many of the most vital issues of his time, and his “realism” has often been treated as a model from which subsequent American policymakers departed at their peril. Still, as Kennanologists have long known, there is more to the story. His acclaimed 1951 study, American Diplomacy, included disparaging statements about democracy, and his writing exhibited nasty, misanthropic, and aristocratic currents. The chapter then considers the relationship between Kennan's personal prejudices and his political ideas.

Abstract:
Abstract ITS provides snapshots of some of the most vivid and poignant moments of twentieth-century European history. To illustrate this variety, this chapter introduces four separate sets of documents. Doing so gives a sense of the range of ITS holdings and the uses to which they can be put, and also indicates that ITS contains a huge variety of source material that allows us to approach ostensibly well-known pasts from a fresh perspective. They are: the newspaper Polish Jew, produced in New York between 1942 and 1945; the eyewitness accounts of Auschwitz provided by inmate-physician Dr Otto Wolken to the Polish Mission of the UN War Crimes Commission after the liberation of the camp; the case of Natalia Skibińska, a Polish girl whose whereabouts were traced by the Child Search Branch, leading to an intense correspondence between her, her mother, her German foster parents and ITS; and the postwar statements given to war crimes investigations teams by British POWs who had been held in camp E715 at Monowitz, or Auschwitz III, where they witnessed the Nazis’ slave labour and murder policies at first hand.
