Ismailova, Zarema Ramazanovna. "MEMOIRS OF MAGOMED EFENDIEV IN THE CONTEXT OF DAGESTAN MEMOIR LITERATURE OF THE XX CENTURY." Herald of the G. Tsadasa Institute of Language, Literature and Art, no. 24 (December 16, 2020): 71–77. http://dx.doi.org/10.31029/vestiyali24/10.
Full textAbstract:
Magomed Efendiev is the only author of memoirs about L. N. Tolstoy in the Dagestan memoir literature, because there are no other Dagestan memoirists in the literature about L. N. Tolstoy. M. Efendiev's memoirs contain many interesting details about the great writer and his family. In addition, the memoirs of Magomed Efendiev are also interesting in terms of a new look at the work of L. N. Tolstoy, in particular, for example, the similarity of some scenes of the trial in the novel «Resurrection» by L. N. Tolstoy and some aspects of the biography of M. Efendiev himself. Despite some controversial points, these memoirs are of undoubted value both for Dagestan literature in general, and for literature about L. N. Tolstoy.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, the author offers fragmentary memories about Olha Petrivna Drahomanova-Kosach on the eve of the 170th anniversary of her birth. The methodological basis of the work is the complex approach to understanding Olena Pchilka’s personality in the light of the memories of her relatives, acquaintances, and colleagues. The relevance of the article is caused by the increasing interest of scholars in such memoirs in general and the need to study the life of Olena Pchilka as a writer, scientist, editor, publisher and an active public figure in particular. The author portrays Olha Drahomanova-Kosach emphasizing the basic human qualities of her character and with the aim of a further perspective of compiling her biography. The materials of the study will also help to deeper estimate Elena Pchilka, who is traditionally until nowadays, regarded only in the context of researching the life and literary activities of her daughter, Lesia Ukrainka. Keywords Olena Pchilka, biography, memoirs, contemporaries, family, portrait.

Full textAbstract:
The key goal of this paper is the reconstruction of key moments in Stanislav Krakov?s (1895-1968) biography. He was a famous Serbian man of letters, prominent interwar journalist, war hero and finally an emigrant publicist. The paper is based on personal testimonies, biographical notes, archive material from Stanislav Krakov Collection kept in the Archives of Yugoslavia, documents from the National Library of Serbia and the Yugoslav Cinematheque, periodicals and contemporary newspapers, as well as on testimonies of Krakov?s contemporaries. This paper shows the life of Stanislav Krakov from his early life circumstances: volunteering in the First and Second Balkan War, participation in the World War I as an officer, concluding with the perilous journey through Albanian mountains to the Adriatic Sea, and breakthrough on the Macedonian Front in 1918 via Kaymakchalan. Wounded and decorated several times, he did not stay in the army. He dedicated himself to literature and journalism. The stressful and jagged atmosphere in interwar Yugoslavia Defined Stanislav Krakov. While being a kind of a Balgrade dandy he was also a prominent patriotic figure - a decorated young veteran, editor of Politika and editor- in-chief of Vreme newspapers, writer of war novels, travel memoirs, theater critic, and so on. Family and ideological connections with general Nedic determined his journalist career and personal life during the World War II - when he was the editor of Obnova and editor-in-chief of Novo Vreme - as well as after it. As a collaborator, after the WWII, this well-known hero of the WWI and the Balkan Wars passed away as a fugitive and emigrant, never bringing to an end the intended monograph about general Nedic, nor his own memoirs.

Full textAbstract:
This article provides a new scientific analysis of the biography of Abdulla Avloni, an enlightened poet, playwright, journalist, scientist, statesman and public figure who lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Those who were shot, family members were politically persecuted as relatives of the enemy of the people. Most writers, scientists were forced to change their biographies, to hide their genealogy. In works of art, the aristocracy is portrayed in a negative light. The article analyzes the changes made to Abdulla Avloni's biography for political reasons on the basis of scientific sources and memoirs.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the second part of a comprehensive study of the book of memoirs by E. B. Khalezova as a work of non-fiction and a historical source. The goal is to show how the history of the family-related community of the Russian scientific intelligentsia is reconstructed in a memoir-autobiographical text. The significance of such works for the study of the history of the Russian family and the dynamics of family forms is determined. According to a number of literaryn characteristics, the work correlates with the family chronicle genre. It contains historical and biographical information about the Starynkevich and Borneman families, who were of noble origin. The history of parental and reproductive families is based on the biography of the prominent scientist I. D. Borneman-Starynkevich and the autobiography of her daughter. With all the differences, both families can be attributed to the type of “maternal family”. This source contains valuable information on the history of the families of the Russian intelligentsia. It also contributes to the understanding of how various communities called “family” change during a person's life and in the course of global and local historical processes.

Full textAbstract:
The episodes proposed in the article from the memoirs of Sergei Vasilievich Sazanov refer to 1918–1921 and cover the details of Sazanov’s life in Altai during the Civil War. The presented «ego-document» reveals the everyday life of the Civil War, given through the prism of perception of an ordinary participant in the events, in this case, a peasant-otkhodnik of the Tambov province. The memoirs of S. V. Sazanov are valuable as they show the transformation of an ordinary, civilian person in the conditions of hostilities. The choice of one of the opposing sides (mostly forced), the manifestation of human qualities in extreme circumstances, the interweaving of domestic, everyday (work for the family) and emergency (the arrival of a punitive force, the threat of execution, etc.) are the content of the presented episodes from the memoirs. It makes these materials a valuable historical source, and publication can help in developing layers of historical problems that were previously ignored by historiography. The publication of memoirs is preceded by an introductory article, which presents a brief biography of S. V. Sazanov and reveals the value of memoirs for military anthropology.

Full textAbstract:
The article reconstructs details of the biography of the poet Vladimir Yevgenievich Schirovsky (1909‒1941) based on archival sources. Until today, only the memoirs of his sister-in-law, Aleksandra Dorrer, served as the source of his life’s details. The facts presented in her memoirs had undergone only partial documentary verification. The article establishes Vladimir Schirovsky’s exact date of birth, clarifies the dates and the crucial milestones in the lives of his father, Yevgeny Schirovsky (1850‒1918), and his maternal grandfather Erast Yezhov (1842 – after 1887) using historical records from the Moscow University archives and identifies Schirovsky’s family ties with the noble families of the Yezhovs, Savitskys, Vasilkovskys, and Akaro. Yevgeny Schirovsky, assigned to the lower class of the meschane (urban petit bourgeois) as an illegitimate child of a noble, built an exceptional career as a civil servant. At the peak of his career between 1897 and 1906, he successively held a provincial governorship of the Łomża Governorate, the Kielce Governorate, and the Radom Governorate of the Congress Poland, having risen to the rank of the Privy Councilor (but not to the rank of a senator, as incorrectly thought before based on Aleksandra Dorrer’s account). Yevgeny Schirovsky’s father, Aleksey Kozmich Schirovsky (1805 – after 1869), and grandfather Kozma Alekseyevich Schirovsky (1771‒1849), both physicians who worked at the Mariinsky Hospital for the poor in Moscow alongside Mikhail Andreyevich Dostoevsky, the father of Fyodor Dostoevsky, belonged to the closest circle of friends of the Dostoyevsky family.

Full textAbstract:
The article hightlights Mykhailo Tarnovskyi (1865–1943) biography and science activity in the spheres of genealogy, biographic, historical, Shevchenko studies, ethnography. He belonged to the old noble Tarnovskyi family, was born in 1865 in the Kachanivka estate — the famous Ukrainian historical culture centre. His uncle, the Kachanivka estate owner — Volodymyr Tarnovskyi, was the founder of the Museum of Ukrainian Antiquity and well-known philanthropist. Mykhailo Tarnovskyi graduated Kyiv Real School in 1884, he was awarded a diploma in higher education in Switzerland. At the beginning of the 20th century he was a governmental official in Kyiv. In the Soviet Ukraine he worked as a photographer. For many years he researched genealogy and history of the Tarnovskyi family. He was the author of the first article about the Kachanivka estate in 1915 and described the Tarnovskyi family tree. He searched for the materials about members of the Tarnovskyi family and Taras Shevchenko in the Ukrainian museums and archives, recorded the memoirs of his relatives. He wrote the researches down, but his manuscripts were printed by his daughter Iryna Tarnovska only in 1997. We should admit, that it happened to be important publication in use for modern historians. There are still unpublished Mykhailo Tarnovskyi’s manuscripts and photographic works. The author is going to conduct investigation of Mykhailo Tarnovskyi life and science heritage.

Full textAbstract:
While legal papers and case decisions have been the traditional focus of judicial biography, the family papers of Justice John Marshall Harlan the Elder demonstrate the importance for understanding a judge's conception of the polity of shifting our sights to the household. Historians of the 19th century have overestimated the distance between the private and the public spheres. The memoirs of Harlan's wife Malvina offer us unparalleled, and hitherto neglected, testimony. Her depiction of the antebellum Harlan household shows its two hierarchies based on assumptions of fundamental differences—those of gender and of race—and both positing a benevolent white male paternalist at their apex. Malvina Harlan's memoirs indicate the lifelong persistence of this paternalism in her own relationship with Justice Harlan and in his relationship with a black servant. These patterns of hierachy, separation, and mutual devotion were essential to Harlan's understanding of his family identity and personal duty. His famous dissents in favor of black civil rights protections and his lapses from his color-blind rule have their roots in this paternalism even as Harlan came to embrace the racial egalitarianism of the Civil War amendments.

Full textAbstract:
The article addresses the problem of mastering the anthropological approach and the biographical method in studying the events of early Soviet history. This research aimed to reconstruct the life path of a member of the Central Committee of the Baltic Fleet (Tsentrobalt), one of the leaders of the Socialists-Revolutionaries Maximalists Pavel Agafangelovich Krasnopyorov, who was born in Sarapul Prikamye. The study relies on official documents, periodical press of the Russian Civil War period, sources of private origin, including protocols of the Red Guards and Red Partisans committees, publication in such Soviet, Red Army and party newspapers as Volya, Truzhenik and Borba, memoirs of Krasnopyorov’s wife A.D. Krasnopyorova-Egorova-Zamytskaya, memoirs of prisoners of the Death Barges P.M. Nevler and A. Ralnikovs and others. Many of sources were first introduced into scientific discourse. The materials and conclusions were compared with historiographic results obtained by other authors. The analysis of historical evidence revealed how Krasnopyorov, who was born in a poor peasant family in the village Chernovo in Arzamastsevsky volost, Sarapul uyezd, Vyatka governorate, Russian Empire, rose to become a statesperson and a party leader at the regional level. Commissioned by Tsentrobalt and Petrosoviet, he actively contributed to the establishment of Soviet power in the Kama region and was killed by his enemies during the Izhevsk-Votkinsk Uprising in October 1918. The findings can be useful for those who study biographies of historical figures of the same period, helping to understand and evaluate their place and role in the socio-political process without bias.

Full textAbstract:
The work deals with the questions of the biography of the outstanding Russian scientist-humanitarian, academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences A. N. Pypin (1833–1904). The purpose of the study is to identify and summarize materials about the Saratov period of the scientist’s life, to present the history of his family, to reveal the role of his father and mother in intellectual and spiritual development. The study of a wide range of memoirs, documentary and epistolary sources resulted in establishing that the history of the noble family of the Pypins dates back to 1791. The ancestors on the father’s side, N. D. Pypin, were clerical workers, on the side of the mother A.E. Golubeva they were priests. It is shown that A. N. Pypin was brought up in a religious family, with high moral ideals, in the atmosphere of love and care. The role of parents in the formation of his humanitarian interests is significant. It is noted that the love of books and reading that distinguished Alexander Nikolaevich from an early age came from his family, from his mother, and was a natural necessity for all younger family members. Parents formed a picture of the world of their son by various means. If the mother did so through literature, primary educational knowledge, then the father formed it by means of contact with real life. He introduced his son to the world of peasant life, of serfdom. According to the scientist, N. D. and A. E. Pypins had a significant impact on the formation of his personality, influenced the choice of life priorities. The paper publishes for the first time the primary source about the birth of A. N. Pypin, the record in the metrical book of Saratov Church of the Holy Saviour, the formulary lists of his great-grandfather, grandfather and father.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Giovanni Maria Visconti, member of a prominent family of the Milanese patriciate, had an important career in his order as a teacher and spiritual director, and a valuable role in the internal government of the Society, between Milan and Genoa. After the death of Anton Giulio Brignole Sale, he was charged by his superiors with the task of writing a hagiographic biography of this famous man of letters and politician (son of a Genoese duke) who, after a long cursus honorum in the public offices of his republic and during a period of political crisis of the Genoese state, decided to end his career to become a diocesan priest, and, some years later, a member of the Society of Jesus. The work was published in 1666, with the title Alcune memorie delle virtù del padre Anton Giulio Brignole (Some memoirs of the virtues of Father Anton Giulio Brignole). It is an interesting book especially because the author, while describing Brignole Sale’s life and heroic virtues, also explained his transformation from the role of Catholic statesman to the role of religious preacher.

Full textAbstract:
Why women do not have their history? Memories of Aleksandra Piłsudska and their role in development of a legend of Józef PiłsudskiA research on women biographical sources belongs to the wide cultural context, and is aiming at collecting and recording of the history and social memory of women. It is not a simple collecting of women’s figures but shows their picture in several contexts, including national, political, social history as well as history of everyday life.Memoirs of Aleksandra Piłsudska are first of all a record of life of Józef Piłsudski and a presentation of his ideas. They show a woman hidden behind a biography of her husband, describing with respect his achievements and sharing his beliefs. She appears as a modest woman, discrete in describing family life and husband’s betrayals, maternity matters. At the same time she is looking for equality, partnership and friendship with Józef Piłsudski.In Memoirs we can also find fragments of a great history of women. Histories of revolution of 1905 and the First World War are very important for political, social and military activity of women.

Full textAbstract:
Memoirs about the professor of the Moscow Theological Academy and Moscow University Ivan Vasilyevich Popov (1867–1938) continue the series of publications of separate chapters of the book of memoirs of Pavel Sergeevich Popov (1892–1964) “Images of the past. Memories from university, gymnasium and childhood years”. Immersion in the text of memoirs opens up for us today a wide cultural, historical and existential context, which allows us to take a fresh look at the intellectual heritage of Russian thinkers – the heroes of P.S. Popov’s memoirs. With each new deciphered page of manuscripts of memoirs, the sides and facets of P.S. Popov’s writing talent are fully revealed to the reader. A “smart” chronicler, demonstrating the ability to subtly and extremely reliably reveal the appearance and character of his colleagues, their manner and style of behavior, scientific strategies and features of the movement of thought, the sphere of professional, friendly and family communication, to expose internal and external ideological ties, Popov knows how to subordinate details of the image of the accurately grasped dominant of the personality, its main content, psychologically conditioned motive and aspirations in scientific programs and research. This is how a gallery of portraits of Russian philosophers is compiled, behind each of which, thanks to a stereoscopically recreated figure, the observer will always be able to see not so much an outline of an intellectual biography but a “living face”. In this case, it is thanks to the detailed portrait characteristics that we get the opportunity to discover I.V. Popov not only as a strict rational “theologian”-positivist, as he reveals himself in his works, and as P.S. Popov knew him as a teacher and researcher of medieval philosophy, but also as a deeply and sincerely believing person who, like a true Christian, never talked about his faith, did not put this truly intimate side of his life on display.

Full textAbstract:
The paper considers repressions and Holodomor as a kind of literary practice and traumatic experience in the works and biography of the Ukrainian diaspora writer Olha Mak. The analysis covers fiction, memoirs, and journalistic texts, in particular the memoirs “From the Time of Yezhovshchyna”, the essay “Capital of Hungry Horror”, and the story “Stones Under Scythe”, considered in the context of the fi ction and documentaries of the postwar Ukrainian diaspora. In this case, the writing appears to be a vital natural resource for recreating the memory, where one’s own individual experience becomes a material, an object for self-refl ection. The process of writing is associated with moral and ethical duty of witnessing the past; it has a powerful therapeutic meaning and protects from immorality integrating individual experience and history into collective, social, cultural, etc. The memoir “From the Time of Yezhovshchyna” by Olha Mack, dealing with the theme of Soviet terror and repressions, is a peculiar form of re-experiencing a personal tragedy associated with the arrest and deportation of the author’s husband. It shows the self-denial of the Soviet human, the wife of the ‘enemy of people’, and records her traumatic experience and memories.The Holodomor theme, elaborated by Olha Mack in various genres and forms, was not only a material, an object of research, but also a part of her personal biography and family history. The Holodomor in the perception of Olha Mack symbolized the threat to social, national (spiritual) life connected with various social, cultural, and mental illnesses; hence, it involves the idea of eliminating Ukraine not only as material and spatial entity, but also as abstract and spiritual one. The story “Stones Under Scythe”, dedicated to the memory of the Holodomor, is considered as a kind of the classical bildungsroman genre’s variation. Its conceptual fi gures are images-archetypes of the child-victim, the female martyr, the great mother. The Holodomor (both physical and spiritual, which destroys the foundations of national dignity, national solidarity and so on) in the story by Olha Mack is not only the topic, but also a continual metaphor and key motive.

Last year, 2019 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of Fyodor Dostoevsky's eldest daughter, Lyubov, and research about her life, which is very interesting and difficult, can be a modest gift for the anniversary of her birth on the eve of a much more solemn celebration - the 200th anniversary of the writer in 2021. Beloved by Lyubov Fyodorovna and her parents, Italy is becoming a defining not only in the creative work, but also in the life of the writer. Having left in 1913 once again for treatment in Europe, Lyubov Fyodorovna does not assume that she will never return to her homeland and will spend the last two years of her life in the country of the great Dante. In 1920, for the upcoming centenary of her father, she published a book of memoirs about him, which brought her long-awaited fame. The article is a biography of Lyubov Fyodorovna Dostoevsky, daughter of the great Russian writer F. M. Dostoevsky. The article quotes the correspondence of L. F. Dostoevskaya with her family, the memoirs of her contemporaries, and previously unpublished documents about her years of study at the gymnasium.

Full textAbstract:
The proposed review examines the book of A.A. Gaponenkov “Philosopher in the Province. S.L. Frank and his entourage during the years of the revolution and the Civil War in Saratov. From the annals of the events of 1917‒1921” published in late 2019 by the Saratov State University. A distinctive feature of the publication is the “annalistic” format for presenting the materials. The squalls of the philosopher’s and his family’s life in Saratov and the German Volga colonies are recreated on the pages using various sources providing the “the word” to these times. Such sources include archival materials, memoirs, correspondence, diary entries and legislative acts. The study combines successfully several genres: a historical chronicle of the events of the revolution and the Civil War in the province, a monograph on the history of the emergence of humanities in the regions, a biography of Frank and his family 1917‒1921, as well as local history research. This allows us to recommend the work of A.A. Gaponenkov to everyone, who is interested in the biography and work of S.L. Frank, as well as those, who are studying the formation and development of domestic humanitarian knowledge in the regions.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the letters of A. Chekhov’s friends, the writer M. Kiselyeva and her husband A. Kiselyev, Head of Zvenigorod zemstvo, to Chekhov. In chronological order this collection covers the most significant period of Chekhov’s biography, from 1886 to 1900, and unfolds many aspects of his life in the Babkino area and Zvenigorod zemstvo. There were many persons who came into different contacts with Chekhov (their notes, though not found and studied so far, do wait in the wings; in particular, one source is P. Arkhangelsky’s memoirs). There were many epistolary and memoir documents (contemporary writers’ letters, the young Chekhovs’ letters, N. Golubeva’s (M. Kiselyeva’s sister) notes, and many others). The Kiselyevs’ 109 letters can be regarded valuable in terms of their deliberate mundane character as there are more ‘non-literary’ letters but at the same time they are not trivial at all. This fact enables the researcher to have a different perspective on somewhat pragmatic (A. Kiselyev’s stories about the zemstvo’s everyday routine; M. Kiselyeva’s stories about her mystical visions; their complaints about their financial and health problems) and linguistic (word play, puns, vivid descriptions, life events presented as jokes) character of the Kiselyevs’ correspondence with Chekhov, and to extend the borders of the writer’s biography. Thus a different understanding of Chekhov’s storylines can be suggested. These letters also reveal some aspects of the life of Chekhov and his family members; they enable the author to interpret variously literary legacy of various writers, to consider the stories of their works’ creation, the characters’ prototypes and artistic forms from a different angle.

The early Soviet period in the life of Grigory Kondratievich Ozhigov (Ozhegov) (1878-1935) is reconstructed within the author’s paper. A native of a Vyatka peasant family, a worker at the Izhevsk defense factories, a Socialist-Revolutionary militant, as well as a member of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the first convocation, who was at party work in the Baltic States and Finland, Orzhigov had a varied career The authors through their work have introduced into scientific use new sources analyzed in the context of the theory of social adaptation, through anthropological approach as well as historical-biographical methodology. Of greatest interest are the materials of the: Revolutionary Civil Council of Izhevsk (1918), Soviet commissions on the affairs of former Red Guards and Red partisans (the 1930s), and the autobiography and memoirs of G.K. Ozhigov himself . The documents of the private origin fund of the Ozhigov family are stored in the Central State Archive of the Udmurt Republic, and are of a complex nature. The study of the biography of Ozhigov, who had turned out to be among the most revolutionary-minded citizens, as shown in other empirical material, does explain why he supported the left-wing radical societal project in Udmurtia. A region by the beginning of modern times which has been the largest agrarian and industrial region of Russia, while largely preserving its traditional way of life.

This document, never published before, is a valuable source of information about Karol Monné’s youth, the circumstances in which he got his education, his social and professional activities before he settled permanently in Przemyśl, and above all, his failed marriage to Wanda’s mother – Kordula Wentz. The author pays particular attention to Joanna Przybysławska, with whom Karol became involved after parting with Kordula, as well as to his children from that relationship. The published source can be treated as an important contribution to the biography of Karol Monné, which has not yet been developed.

The questions of the content and genre poetics of the works of the Khabarovsk writers V. V. Sukachev (“At the hearth”) and T. I. Gladkikh (“Amur Cossacks Korenevs”) are considered. The relevance ofthe study is due to the value of the literary and regional studies material for the formation of a holistic picture of the national historical and literary process. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the work of the named authors has practically not been studied, and their works, considered in the article, for the first time became the subject of literary study. Attention is paid to the themes and problems of the works that reveal the tragic events of the national history of the twentieth century: the deportation of the Russian (Crimean) Germans in 1941; post-revolutionary fate of the Amur Cossacks. The experience of analyzing the genre specificity of works connecting family chronicle, parable, fictionalized biography, memoirs is presented. Comparative analysis of the works made it possible to reveal the commonality of the organization of plot and compositional elements inherent in the genre of family chronicles. Particular attention was paid to the specificity of the author’s approach in the artistic processing of historical and biographical material (methods of aestheticization and fictionalization of documentary material, the embodiment of the author’s image, describing the fate of generations, creating the image of the “ancestor”, the use of symbolism). In the process of analysis, the idea was substantiated that the works have a pronounced value component, asserting the absolute value of the human person.

The article analyzes the monograph of the Polish historian Jaroslaw Durka, "Janusz Radziwiłł (1880-1967). Political Biography", translated into Ukrainian from the Polish edition, published in Warsaw in 2011. J. Durka is a Doctor of Historical Sciences and researcher at the Kalisz Academy President Stanislaw Wojciechowski, an author of numerous publications related to the Radziwiłł family. The book describes the political biography of one of the brightest figures of Polish conservatism, Prince Janusz Radziwiłł, a parliamentarian of the Second Polish Republic [II Rzeczpospolita], an aristocrat, a person whose life absorbed all the significant events of the social and political life of Europe at the end of the 19th century – the 1960s. The monograph uses a vast source base, which includes documents from the Central Archives of Modern Records, the Central Archives of Historical Records, and the Central Military Archive (Warsaw), state voivodeship archives, in particular, Częstochowa, Kalisz, Katowice, Kraków, the Ossolinski National Institute in Wrocław, etc. The research examines publications from interwar periodicals, oral testimonies collected directly by the author, memoirs, published documents, etc. The author of the monograph highlights the traditions of the Radziwiłł family, the formation of Janusz Radziwiłł’s worldview and his political career, paying attention to his activities during the First World War, focusing on Janusz Radziwiłł's public and charitable activities in interwar Poland, the life of the last owner of the town of Olyka during the Second World War. One of the chapters draws attention to the final period of the life and activity of Janusz Radziwiłł, which he spent under the supervision of the special services of the Polish People’s Republic, practically outside of politics. J. Durka’s monograph, translated into Ukrainian, reveals little-studied pages of the history of Poland and Ukraine at the end of the XIXth – the first half and middle of the XXth century, prompting researchers for new scientific studies in the field of historical biography.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The article analyzes the biography and diplomatic activities of Nikolai Vasilievich Novikov (1903–1989), a Soviet diplomat who represented the USSR in Cairo and in Washington during World War II and took part in the efforts to establish a new system of international relations at the beginning of the Cold War. Methods and materials. The article is based on published texts by Nikolai Novikov himself, diplomatic documents, periodicals, and materials from his personal archive, deposited in the Archive of the European University at St. Petersburg by the diplomat’s family. Analysis. The authors examine Novikov’s biography, the reasons for his rapid career in the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, his relations with Soviet foreign policy managers, and the circumstances of his resignation at a relatively young age. Special attention is paid to Novikov’s activities in the United States in the context of the emerging Cold War, the place of Novikov’s note (cable) in the process of shaping Soviet approaches to relations with the United States, and his own attitude to these approaches. Results. Novikov’s contribution to the shaping of the postwar world is underappreciated, as are his attempts to resist the changes that were breaking Soviet-American cooperation in the international arena. In fact, the strategic concepts formulated by Novikov in a memo to Molotov were the basis of the official Soviet interpretation of the causes and nature of the Cold War and were included in Soviet school and university textbooks on universal history and the history of international relations. Authors’ contributions. A.I. Kubyshkin analyzed the most important stages of Nikolai Novikov’s diplomatic activity and the general situation in relations between the USSR and the USA during the Second World War. He assessed Novikov’s activities from the political leadership of the USSR and foreign countries in which the Soviet diplomat worked. He also examined the most important aspects of the activities of Soviet diplomacy reflected in Novikov’s memoirs and carried out their internal criticism as a historical source. I.I. Kurilla processed the archive of Nikolai Novikov and identified and analyzed the corpus of sources of personal origin. He also analyzed the contents of Nikolai Novikov’s personal diaries, reviewed the personal contribution of N.V. Novikov in developing a strategy in relations with the United States in the initial period of the Cold War, and compared the contents of the “long telegram” of J. Kennan and the “Novikov telegram”.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes a case of applying biographical method to the study of the memory policy. The research featured archival sources, personal documents, and published family memoirs of foreign citizens repressed in the 1930s. The paper demonstrates advantages of using the method as part of interdisciplinary approach in a hybrid methodological complex and describes various techniques of the hybridization procedure. The hybrid methodological approach made it possible to reconstruct a person's life path against the background of the historical situation in the country, to understand the context of their lives, their meanings and goals in specific historical conditions. The comparative analysis of the biographies resulted in a typical biographical situation and a typical life path of a repressed foreigner in Russia. Against the background of the typical fate of repressed foreigners, each individual biography emphasizes both the striking similarity of the scenarios and the unique experience. The biographical method proved efficient in studying the memory policy, embodied in different scenarios. The author believes that Russia needs to develop a policy of memory as it could bring to harmony various narratives and meanings, thus strengthening the civil solidarity.

The aim of the study was to find the birthplace of Elena Ivanovna (Dmitrievna) Dyakonova, known to the whole world under the name of Gala Dali. Documented sources about the woman’s city of birth have not been found so far, which led to the emergence of conflicting information. To achieve this goal, the author is looking for indirect documents confirming that Gala Dali was born in Kazan. For the first time, the problem is investigated based on archival data of her parents ‒ father Dmitry Ilyich Gomberg, who studied at the Imperial Kazan University from 1892 to 1895, and mother Antonina Petrovna Dyakonova. Analysis of documents found in the State Archives of the Republic of Tatarstan, articles by D. V. Malinovsky, grandson of the adopted son of D. I. Gomberg, memoirs and historical data helped to clarify the situation about the place of birth of the muse Dali and the plight of her family. The key research method is source study analysis of office documents, their comparison with historical data about everyday life and facts from the biography of Gala Dali. As a result of the research search, the place of birth of Elena Ivanovna/Dmitrievna Dyakonova was determined ‒ the city of Kazan, as evidenced by direct and indirect facts from the biographies of the parents and Gala herself, as well as the difficult life situation of the woman’s parents, their connection with revolutionary activities and mentioning in police circulars. This explains the reason why the woman did not like to remember the story of her birth and created numerous myths about the city of birth, family and living conditions. The data obtained can be used for further reconstruction of the history of the Gala family and her biography. Keywords: myth, Gala Dali, Kazan, city of birth, revolutionary activity, clerical documents of the fund of the office of the Imperial Kazan University of the State Archives of the Republic of Tatarstan, fear

Full textAbstract:
Bárbara Virgínia was a forerunner film director in Portugal and the Festival de Cannes. Starting artistically as a diseuse and actress, she directed a feature film and a documentary in her youth, in 1946. Bárbara emigrated to Brazil in 1952 to work on radio and television, the country where she settled, formed a family, eventually abandoning the stages, and died in 2015. For this socio-biography, we collected and analysed public and private memory documents, a research interview and conversations with her family. To construct our analysis and strengthen a feminist perspective, we used Portuguese cinema’s History and memoirs. We both avoided mythologising and aimed at unveiling the patriarchal gaze which shapes some literature about Bárbara Virgínia. We built our questioning and analysis from Linda Alcoff’s and Teresa de Lauretis’s gender studies, from the sociology of culture by Pierre Bourdieu who Bev Skeggs borrowed for her intersection of class, gender and coloniality, alongside historical and social research about both countries’ context. The paper focuses on the artistic and familiar roles played by the filmmaker, and proposes an interpretation aimed to contribute to a fine knowledge about gender and class barriers to cultural and professional practices at that time, while it also discusses the erasure of memory about Barbara Virginia.

The article contains new facts that clarify or complete some particulars in the biographies of 13 persons from Dostoevsky’s milieu. Some facts derive from documentary sources discovered through archival research: Aleksandr Isaev’s metric records, the birth and death in Darovoe of the infant Simeon, the illegitimate son of Mikhail Dostoevsky, the first marriage and divorce of Dostoevsky’s son Fyodor Fedorovich, the death of the writer’s sister-in-law Sof’ia Constant, and an excerpt from the memoirs of Ekaterina Alexandrovna, wife of Konstantin Pobedonostsev, about her acquaintance with Dostoevsky. The combination of archival research and textual analysis of the writer’s manuscripts and correspondence allowed us to suppose his possible acquaintance with Fyodor Bychkov, the founder of the grammar school for boys in St. Petersburg where the writer’s son was later enrolled, and with the aspiring writer Lydia Lamovskaya. Finally, the article investigates the name “Lizaveta Kuzminichna” recurring three times in different Dostoevsky’s autographs. The name works as a code for the writer’s unidentified personal associations going back to his childhood in Moscow, and is linked to his parents’ friends, the Shchirovsky family. These examples show that even today, archival work, search for new factual sources, and “small observations” over the texts remain fruitful and promising methods for research of both biographical and interpretative nature.

The paper examines the main stages of the life path, scientific and socio-pedagogical activity of Pavel Aleksandrovich Preobrazhensky, a teacher, historian and public figure who lived in Samara at the turn of the 1920 centuries. The biographical study was built with the involvement of archival materials, published sources and memoirs of P.A. Preobrazhenskys students. The author notes the circumstances of the formation of the character and life principles of the future teacher, and the significant role of the family and the father-priest in this. The half-century pedagogical practice of P.A. Preobrazhensky left a memory of him not only in the hearts of the students, but also among their parents and colleagues, as evidenced by the statements given by the author. The paper also examines socio-cultural activities of P.A. Preobrazhensky, who during his life was a member of many scientific and cultural societies and actively worked in the field of education and dissemination of scientific knowledge among the Samara population. The author highlights the university period in the biography of Pavel Aleksandrovich, noting that it was the heyday of his scientific and teaching career. It was during this period that his life was filled with various types of activities scientific, teaching, administrative and social.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores biography and various aspects of public activity of the Russian refugee from Lithuania, lawyer, professor of Russian language and literature at the University of South Florida Anatole Sokolsky (1993–2006). Memoirs and articles published by him in the USA were used as the basic empirical material and the documents from the Lithuanian Central State Archive and private collection of the Sokolsky family served as auxiliary sources for the research. There is a lack of studies that analyze the history of representatives of Russian intelligentsia who were forced to escape Lithuania in the period of World War II (from 1939 to 1945) because of the danger of the Soviet regime. Publications by Sokolsky do not represent an example of professional literature, but it allows us to find out more not only about personal destiny and worldview of the author, the results of his social activities in favor of the Russian diaspora, but also about the life of Russian intelligentsia in the periods of interwar, World War II and emigration to the West.

This article considers a significant period in the biography of Nikolai Mikhailovich Yadrintsev. In the high summer of 1874 in St. Petersburg the famous publicist got married to Adelaide Fedorovna Barkova. The authors emphasize that with the beginning of his family life N. M. Yadrintsev intensified his creative activity, having a reliable rear and household arrangements.
Guided by the first biographical information and appealing to sources of personal origin (letters, memoirs, autobiography), the authors have proved that in the surviving materials there are obvious inaccuracies in determining the exact date of marriage. Only with a thorough analysis of extant written sources the correct date of the wedding can be established.
In general, the authors conclude that the wife played a significant role in the life of Nikolai Mikhailovich. Outstanding, sociable, responsive and intellectually gifted A.F. Barkova wholeheartedly shared any of her husband's endeavors. Analyzing the autobiographical notes the authors state that after the wedding the destiny of N.M. Yadrintsev changed, he felt a burst of energy in his activity.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of L.N. Tolstoy’s multilingualism on the basis of unexplored from a scientific point of view “Mournful list…” The author of the article focuses on the peculiarities of the use, the meaning and the functions of foreign language inclusions in this work by Tolstoy. The article analyzes word formation, including the combination of different languages in phrases or words. In this regard, problems arise in identifying languages in foreign inclusions and choosing a translation based on authentic grammatical forms. The author of the article proposes possible solutions in each case. The appeal to manuscripts and various publications of the “Mournful list…” contribute to the restoration of the original spelling of some foreign language inclusions and the definition of the meaning nearest to the author’s intention. The research also appeals to the diaries of the writer and the memoirs of his family members. The ideological content of the “Mournful list…” is interconnected with the works of L.N. Tolstoy of the 1880s, which are identical in theme and problematic. Thus, the paper clearly shows the value of the “Mournful list…” not only for the biography, but also for the work of L.N. Tolstoy.

Full textAbstract:
The family home related to childhood and growing up is a model of culture and a fundamental matrix for shaping of human personality. In literature and the arts it makes an important point of reference in biographical and reminiscence-based narrations. All images from childhood are subject to diverse mechanisms of individual and collective memory and are used to work out certain events in the subconsciousness, thanks to the oneiric activity of the mind. The experiences from childhood should be interpreted taking into account the cultural images and patterns, e.g. a family home representing Arcadia, childhood as a land of happiness. From the psychological perspective, the elderly often come back to the time of childhood and show a tendency to reproduce the past events and writing memoirs. Particular events may be subjected to all kinds of transformations because of the subjective perspective, tendency to idealization and selective memory. spent her childhood in Russowo, school years in Kalisz, then she made her home in a Warsaw tenement house. Many times she visited the places she knew from her childhood, as documented in her Dzienniki. Her visits were of real character (travels to Kalisz), imaginary (when writing the novel Noce i dnie), of reminiscent character (a hot summer in Russowo), oneiric ones (during the war she dreamt of a full larder in Russowo), intuitive ones (she dreamt of coming back to her family home shortly before her death). Everything that has been left from her past life, transformed and confronted with reality, helps understanding her struggles and affections, her identity and helps making her biography.

Full textAbstract:
Referring to regional material, this article actualizes the tradition of studying the biographies of historical figures in the context of an institutional concept, which makes it possible to describe and explain the controversial facts of political history of the new time in the era of mass social movements. The authors aim to reconstruct the later imperial period (until October 1917) of the life of Grigorii Kondratyevich Ozhigov, a representative of the national revolutionary cohort, who took an active part in the events that occurred in the Urals, Ukraine, the Baltics, Finland, and other areas of the former Russian Empire in the late twentieth century. Methodologically, the work relies on the modernization paradigm, the “new social history”, and related everyday discourse, including the anthropological approach, historical, and biographical methods. Since G. K. Ozhigov’s biography studied by a few Ural historians is replete with inaccuracies, the study is based on sources which have never been referred to previously, including official documents, periodicals, sources of personal origin, autobiographies, and memoirs by Ozhigov himself. The documents kept in the fund of the Ozhigov family of the Central State Archive of the Udmurt Republic are characterized by a complex nature. The study demonstrates that Ozhigov, who came from a peasant family, a worker of Izhevsk factories, managed to rise first to the interregional, and in 1917, to the all-Russian level, reaching the status of a member of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the first convocation. In the political sphere, he passed a difficult path of evolution from a militant of the Ural Lbovtsy partisans during the First Russian Revolution of 1905–1907, to a member of the RCP(b) and an active participant in the implementation of the project of the proletarian state.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the history of business and friendly relations between F. M. Dostoevsky and M. I. Semevsky, an employee of the “Vremya” journal and the editor of “Russkaya Starina”, the largest historical journal of the 19th century. Semevsky most likely met Dostoevsky in the early 1860s, when the former became a contributing author of the “Vremya” journal and wrote two large-scale historical essays for the publication: “Tsarina Praskovya” and “The Mons Family.” Dostoevsky was familiar with Semevsky’s works even prior to their personal meetings and intended to polemize with his concept of Peter's time, as evidenced by the surviving sketches of the writer's critical review. The idea of a polemic was rejected when Semevsky became the author of the “Vremya” journal. Its editors, the Dostoevsky brothers, appreciated his cooperation and, as confirmed in the fee book, paid him more than many other authors. The meetings of Dostoevsky and Semevsky were reflected in the epistolary legacy and in the notes of Semevsky, which he wrote in the autumn of 1866 after the trial of the revolutionary Nikolai Ishutin. In November 1876, Semevsky gave Dostoevsky the documents for “A Writer's Diary”, requesting him not to identify the source. The communication between Dostoevsky and Semevsky in the last year of the writer's life is mentioned in the memoirs of E. N. Opochinin. The article provides an overview of Dostoevsky's letters of 1854‒1879, published in “Russkaya Starina” in 1883‒1885, as well as of memoirs of various persons about Dostoevsky, published during the life of the editor and after his death. Archival documents revealing new facts of the biography of Dostoevsky, Semevsky and their contemporaries were used and introduced into scientific circulation in the study.

Full textAbstract:
Just recently, the autobiography of Susanne Bonhoeffer, the younger sister of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, has been rediscovered. She has bequeathed an excellent and extensive description of her family’s life and reveals new insights about the Bonhoeffer family and the history of her time. Her work will be a substantial contribution to further research. As the editor of this challenging project, I would like to investigate how this text may affect our perception of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s biography and theology. A lot of information about Dietrich Bonhoeffer is offered in the autobiography of his sister Susanne – last but not least about his time in prison, when Susanne was sent by her family to visit him every week and support him as far as possible. Besides, her biographical accounts often contain theological insights – e.g. when Susanne relates how Dietrich supported her on the occasion of her confirmation. Most of this confirms the image which has been established by earlier publications, especially those of Eberhard Bethge. This is not surprising, since Bethge extensively made use of the manuscript of Susanne. However, even if our perception of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is hardly altered by the material of Susanne, it is deepened in many ways. It helps us to understand more fully the personality and character of Dietrich Bonhoeffer – and indirectly, it sometimes also allows to draw conclusions regarding his theology. In this article, I investigate the most relevant passages with reference to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and show what conclusions we can draw from this about his life and faith. The new primary source material of Dietrich’s sister Susanne was made available to the public in October 2018; it is here for the first time presented to an English speaking audience.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the investigation is justified by the lack of research into the first two decades of the life of the outstanding Ukrainian musician of the first half of the 20th century, Viktor Stepanovych Kosenko — an extremely important time when the foundations of the worldview and aesthetic beliefs of the future composer were laid. During this period, Viktor Kosenko, together with other family members, was in Warsaw, where he received a thorough general and musical education.
The situation of another "white spot in domestic musicology" related to the artist's biography was created due to the lack of materials and documents, as well as the artist's personal belongings related to this period. The socio-political circumstances of Soviet Ukraine, in which Viktor Kosenko found himself in the 20s of the 20th century, became an obstacle to the preservation of sources and information of the relevant time.
It has also been established that the composer's biography, which has been repeatedly reproduced in reference books and studies, is artificially constructed by him "at the demand of time". The scientific novelty of the study is the introduction into wide circulation of the socio-worldview and cultural panorama of the initial period of the artist's life. Therefore, the actual goal of the article is the reconstruction of the circumstances of the first twenty years of the composer's biography. The methodological basis of the research is the cultural-historical, biographical, as well as the method of source analysis, used to reproduce the initial period of V. S. Kosenko’s life path.
Thanks to little-known publications of memoirs of the artist's contemporaries, as well as archival findings of modern scientists, it was possible to restore some facts of Viktor Kosenko's biography. The study focuses on the peculiarities of the educational and pedagogical process in the Warsaw Suvorov Cadet Corps, where the future composer studied. Emphasis is placed on the influence of many traditions, both national and social-worldview, with which Viktor Kosenko could come into contact during this period of his life. The atmosphere, traditions, way of life, as well as artistic impressions that formed the personality of the young musician and possibly influenced his further musical life are also considered.
Conclusions. The multinational and multicultural environment of the earliest period of Victor Kosenko's life in Warsaw probably left an impression on the artist. Being at the intersection of cultures and traditions — a military and artistic environment with their inherent worldviews, a change in artistic and sociopolitical orientations at the border of the 19th and 20th centuries, the presence in everyday life of several national traditions (officially declared Russian, urban culture of Warsaw, preservation of Ukrainian origins in the family circle, a diverse circle of teachers and fellow students, etc.), could not but influence the growth of the creative personality of the Europeanized composer, who was open to other cultures. Tracing multi-level and multi-vector influences on the formation of creative ideas and their further specification looks like a promising direction for further research of the artist's creativity.

Full textAbstract:
The article aims to find out how the story of Dasha, described by Shmelev in the letters to O.A. Bredius-Subbotina in 1941–1942, was reflected in the writer’s work. The letters, the memoirs, and the historical materials allow us to reconstruct the biography of D.V. Zamotina. D.V. Zamotina’s letter to I.S. Shmelev dated May 1, 1937, from the archive of the Alexander Solzhenitsyn House of Russian Abroad Archive is introduced into scientific circulation. The article proves that the Zamotin family significantly contributed to the preservation and transfer to the national archives of the writer’s prerevolutionary heritage. The story of Dasha is comparable with his stories “The Grapes” (1913), “In the Manor” (1914), novels The Story of a Love (1927), and The Heavenly Paths (1937, 1948). The article notes the similarity of the portraits of the heroines, their social status, the individual details, the scenes, the images, and the motifs. The article takes into account modern literary works, which analyze the considered images and the motifs. The results show that Dasha Zamotina is the embodiment of the “Shmelev’s girl.” In conclusion, the article considers the work of the writer as a whole, highlights his favorite characters, and notes the similarity of pre-revolutionary and emigrant pathos — “organic democracy”; for this reason, Dasha can be called the Muse of Shmelev with a capital letter.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The publication is dedicated to the famous teacher and scientist-archeologist Tatyana Nikolaevna Troitskaya (1925–2018). The purpose of this work is to supplement her biography with information relating to lesser-known periods of her life and work in the Bashkortostan Republic following on from unpublished archival documents and memoirs of T. N. Troitskaya. Results. Analysis of the available sources and literature made it possible to study the time and circumstances of Tatyana Nikolaevna’s stay in the Republic of Bashkortostan. In 1941, it was the first time she was in Birsk, where she was evacuated to with her family after the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. There T. N. Troitskaya finished school and was accepted into the Birsk Pedagogical Institute, where she studied for a year and a half before re-evacuation in 1943. The second time she came to Ufa was in 1955 when she was sent to the Institute of History, Language and Literature, where she worked until 1956. T. N. Troitskaya’s research activities coincided with the beginning of systematic archaeological research in the region, making her involved in the formation of academic archaeological science in the Bashkortostan Republic. In 1955, Tatyana Nikolaevna took part in the excavations carried out by the Bashkir archaeological expedition on the territory of the Gafuri region of the Bashkortostan Republic. In the course of fieldwork, several monuments of the Kara-Abyz culture were studied there, one of which, the Mikhailovskoye settlement, was studied under the guidance of T. N. Troitskaya. The materials and results of excavations of this monument are still used by scientists studying cultural genesis and ethnic processes in the Southern Urals and in the Urals in the early Iron Age. Conclusion. Despite the fact that T. N. Troitskaya lived in Bashkortostan for a short period of her life, this time as a whole was of great importance for her life experience. Tatyana Nikolaevna herself later recalled that it was in Birsk that she realized herself as a future teacher, and in Ufa she came to understand the priority for her teaching activity over research.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes how the authorship of two poetry collections “Fol’kloristy” (1922) and “Temy” (1924), published in Petrograd-Leningrad in the early 1920s under the pseudonym Golubchik-Gostov, was established. The authors of the article managed to find the descend-ants of the poet Lev Mikhailovich Goldyonov, who was published under this pseudonym. And he left no other traces of his literary activity. The article presents the memoirs of Maria А. Khorosheva, Goldyonov’s grand-niece, which briefly tells about the history of the poet and his family. The photographs of the poet, his family members, and a number of documents are presented as illustrative material. In addition, the article attempts to recon-struct initially the poet’s biography, to recreate Lev M. Goldyonov’s social circle in Petro-grad-Leningrad, at the same time the article provides biographical and historical-literary comments on a number of poems in the collections. Let us explore the Goldyonov’s relation-ship with Leonida Matveevna Kimstach (according to oral testimony of relatives, a close Goldyonov’s friend), to whom a number of poems from the collection “Temy” are dedicated. For the first time, the article examines the poetic’s peculiarities of Golubchik-Gostov’s collections, the connection of Goldyonov’s poems with the literary context contemporary to him, a version of the origin of the poetic pseudonym is proposed. The article establishes that the strategy of Goldyonov’s literary self-presentation is an example of a marginal implementation of the experience of avant-garde poetry and the means of its promotion. The article makes an attempt at the true scale and creative legacy of the forgotten poet. The authors of the article present only the initial results of the archival research undertaken.
