Full textAbstract:
Karol Anton Medvecký, a Catholic priest, politician and folk educator with an interest in ethnography, was an important figure in Slovak modern history and was a participant in important turning points in Slovak society at the beginning of the 20th century.

The second part describes the work of Slovak historians about this personality, his life and work. The author analyzes and evaluates the previous works of Slovak historiography on K. A. Medvecký, which were professional studies, articles and review papers in proceedings, dictionaries and lexicons. He states that a professional historical biography about K. A. Medvecký has not yet been written.

Parting with a villain? Yuan Shikai in light of new research Yuan Shikai, the military strongman of late Qing Empire, talented administrator and reformer, crucial figure during the 1911 (Xinhai) Republican Revolution, president with dictatorial power and, finally, a self-proclaimed emperor, is the most controversial figure of 20th-century China. After his death during the civil war that his actions provoked, historiography (communist and non-communist) portrayed Yuan as traitor and chief villain. In following years Yuan was almost unanimously denounced by Soviet (S.L. Tikhvinsky, O. Nepomnin) and Western (L. Sharman, E. Hummel) historiography. His first biography, written by Jerome Ch’en in 1960, fully upheld this portrait. Significant studies (1968 and 1977) of Ernest P. Young, based on important primary sources, went unnoticed at the time. It was also the case with Stephen McKinnon’s volume on Yuan as brilliant Qing official in Tianjin and Beijing between 1901 and 1908. During the two last decades of the 20th century some smaller studies changed this unfavorable portrait. In the eyes of Marie-Claire Bergère, Madleine Ch’i, Luke Kwong and Henerietta Harrison, Yuan appears as a far-sighted statesman and defender of Chinese raison d’état. The last biography written by Patrick Fuliang Shan portrays Yuan as an extremely power-hungry and astute politician and as a conservative reformer and modernizer, at the same time. His political failure was both his personal tragedy and a catastrophe of the Chinese nation.

Full textAbstract:
Статья посвящена теме, актуальной для изучения биографии видного представителя правящих кругов поздней Российской империи, министра финансов и председателя Совета министров В. Н. Коковцова, его деятельности по организации Русско-японского общества в Петербурге (Петрограде) в 1911–1917 годах и руководству этой ассоциацией. Обширная современная историография, ставящая своей задачей оценку личности министра, его исторической роли и проводимой им политики, по существу исключает этот сюжет из своего проблемного поля. Между тем политическая биография Коковцова оказывается неполной без комплексного изучения указанной деятельности, сочетавшей секретную и публичную стороны и ставшей постоянным поприщем экс-министра после его отставки. Развернувшись на фоне русско-японского сближения накануне и в годы Первой мировой войны, она отразила как сложную динамику самого этого процесса, так и специфику понимания его Коковцовым, сумевшим благодаря своему административному опыту и личному авторитету привлечь к этой работе многих представителей политической, деловой, культурной элиты как в столице, так и за ее пределами. Целью организации стало развитие не только торговых, но и культурных связей между двумя странами, что отразилось в контактах Русско-японского общества с Японо-русским обществом в Токио, также представленным ведущими японскими политиками и придворными. Дипломатические способности и личные качества В. Н. Коковцова и здесь сыграли во многом определяющую роль. Автор ставит задачу включить данный сюжет в круг историко-биографических исследований на основе введения в научный оборот соответствующих источников — как архивных документов, так и материалов периодики начала XX столетия, не интерпретировавшихся прежде историками. The article focuses on the investigation of a prominent representative of the ruling eliteof late Imperial Russia, a minister of finance and a chairman of the Ministerial Council V. N. Kokovtsov and his role in the foundation of the Russo-Japanese Society in St. Petersburg (the then Petrograd) in 1911–1917. When attempting to assess the minister’s personal and professional qualities, his role in history, and his policies, modern historiography often neglects this episode in the minister’s life. However, without due consideration of the aforementioned activities, performing which Kokovtsov managed to juggle secrets and publicity and which became his primary concern after retirement, the minister’s political biography seems incomplete. Kokovtsov’s interest in the matter can be traced back to Russo-Japanese rapprochement before World War I. Due to his administrative experience, his personal authority and credibility, Kokovtsov managed to recruit numerous members of the political, religious and cultural elites both in the capital and elsewhere. The organization promoted the development of trade and cultural cooperation between the two countries, hence the cooperation with the Japanese-Russian Society in Tokyo and with leading Japanese politicians and courtiers. V. N. Kokovtsov’s personal qualities and his diplomatic abilities were a valuable asset. The author of the article underlines the importance of investigating archival documents and periodicals of the early 20th century, which have never been investigated before, in order to shed light on the underinvestigated but undoubtedly important episode in Kokovtsov’s biography.

Altynbaeva, Gulnara M., and Ludmila E. Gerasimova. "The image of P. A. Stolypin in A. I. Solzhenitsyn’s works." Izvestiya of Saratov University. Philology. Journalism 22, no. 2 (May 23, 2022): 238–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.18500/1817-7115-2022-22-2-238-244.
Full textAbstract:
In the article the image of P. A. Stolypin is analyzed on the material of The Red Wheel, Diary R-17, memoires and essays by A. I. Solzhenitsyn. The authors trace the course the writer took while working on the artistic presentation of the image of one of the most prominent Russian state figures of the 20th century; they show Solzhenitsyn’s artistry in endeavoring to reveal to the reader all the “prominence”, “expressiveness” of this great person, as well as the significance of Stolypin’s destiny for the future of Russia. The authors of the research observe how in The Red Wheel Stolypin’s destiny is linked to that of Russia, following Solzhenitsyn in comprehending Stolypin as a “doer” responsible to Russia. In the course of the research Stolypin’s chapter with reviews in August 1914, has been analyzed in detail. This enabled the authors to grasp Stolypin’s image as the focal one in The Red Wheel, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, as Solzhenitsyn’s favourite character, conveyed realistically, and, at the same time, personally, compassionately, through “the dialectic of the soul”. The reader perceives a straightforward, strong-willed, dynamic, determined and ethically wholesome politician. The storylines of Guchkov, Bogrov, Nikolas II are essential to understanding Stolypin’s image. Focusing on these characters, the authors of the article show Stolypin’s role in their destinies. In The Red Wheel the artistic image of Stolypin is created by complex forms of inner monologues, quotes, free indirect discourse, the alternation of scenes and reports (summaries of events), by the abundance of the author’s “insertions”, by the multiple functions of irony. In the process of research the texts of P. A. Stolypin’s speeches were drawn upon, his children’s reminiscences, his biography, historians’ opinions. The chosen historical context provided a valuable insight into Solzhenitsyn’s historical method and the writer’s historiosophic reasoning.

Full textAbstract:
On several occasions in the early twentieth century, advocates of urban planning proposed significant measures for altering the layout of Toronto streets. Planning historians often have proposed that an interest in beautification was superseded by a focus on efficiency by the 1920s, but Toronto's plans largely were lost amidst private development processes and business cycles. Confusion over planning priorities, the short-term perspectives of politicians, and a lack of urgency also impeded city and regional planning. Toronto experienced less planning initiatives than major United-States cities.

Full textAbstract:
The contribution gives a brief historical insight in the beginning and the drastic change of biographical thinking particularly in the educational sphere. Biography is a theme addressed by German educational sciences ever since its historical beginnings in the late 18th century. The discovery of the autonomous, educated, middle-class subject is rooted in that interest in biography, which also shaped the process of “biographisation” of the lower social strata a century later. Even post-modern and post-structural criticism of the ‘subject’ towards the end of the 20th century has a lasting influence on educational science. Understanding the historical background and the consequences of this threefold change of ideas in the concept of “biography” in the German tradition is the aim of this article.

Full textAbstract:
A concept of a collective house that would include apartments and a wide array of communal facilities was a topic of intensive debate in Czechoslovakia throughout the 20th century. This topic was popular not only among architects, but most importantly among feminists, social activists, sociologists, politicians or businessmen. Debaters projected onto these houses their ideas of a future political and social system of Czechoslovakia. For some, shared living was a way to facilitate the arrival of communism, for others it represented a means to develop liberal capitalism. This article presents the political framework behind the idea of collective housing in Czechoslovakia.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of article is to describe the role of ethics and morality in foreign policy and diplomacy. The article is theoretical. The introduction defines the concept of morality and presents the main research questions and hypotheses. The first part of this text presents general moral criteria for determining what human actions are right and what are wrong. Also presented are the types of motivations that most often affect politicians when making certain decisions in diplomatic activity. The second part of the article presents three profiles of famous politicians who in the 20th century acted in accordance with the voice of conscience and moral principles in their foreign policy. They are Mahatma Gandhi, India’s social leader in 1920–1948, Willy Brandt, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1969–1974, and Jimmy Carter, U.S. President in 1977–1981. Using theoretical analysis, the generalisation of scientific facts and research findings, the author, on the basis of the reflection method, has described and analysed the motives that guided the three politicians in making difficult political decisions in specific historical situations. Understanding such motives is important because the measures adopted on the basis of them have had consequences not only for politicians but also for citizens and, sometimes, even for the entire world. As a result of the analysis, in the case of Gandhi, the following hypothesis has been confirmed: The voice of conscience to which politicians heed and its meaning are mostly associated with the historical and cultural context, unique for each country. In the case of Brandt and Carter, the author has verified the hypothesis that very often conscience and career motivation propose the same way of acting, which is why we cannot exclude career motivation in such a situation. Keywords: morality, conscience, policy, diplomacy, foreign policy, sociology of morality.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is devoted to the strokes of the biography of the Serbian Army Colonel A. Srb, which is incorporated into the key events of the political history of Serbia and Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, and he himself was not just a participant in them, but also had some influence on them. A participant in the 1903 Coup and all the vicissitudes of the Serbian politics at the beginning of the 20th century, an active member of the organization "Unification or Death", who arrived in 1916 with Fr. Corfu to Russia to recruit the Serbian Volunteer Corps, became a witness and participant in the difficult events of 1917. The study of his biography, replete with white spots, allows a deeper understanding of the context of the seething political life that took place both in Serbia and Russia.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the concept of difficult/dark heritage from a theoretical perspective known as the biography of things. First, I analyse Polish archaeological research on difficult/dark heritage. Second, I describe in greater detail the biography of things as a tool for studying relationships between people, things and places. The last part of the paper is a case study presenting the biographies of three objects found in the grounds of a prisoner-of-war camp in Czersk. I aim to prove the following theses: 1) archaeologies of the recent past cannot be understood simply as the archaeology of martyrdom; 2) material culture from the recent past allows us to create different kinds of narratives connected with dark heritage.

Full textAbstract:
The Archives of the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum in London are a veritable gold mine of primary sources for persons wishing to write the biographies of Polish politicians, soldiers, diplomats, writers, painters of the twentieth century. The same is true of monographs about formations and units of the Polish Armed forces and the battles of the Second World War. Moreover, the sources available can enrich the biographies of British and other allied commanders, politicians and diplomats, something which unfortunately many foreign historians fail to take into account when researching their topic. The papers presents the complexity of undertaking research taking as an example the biography of General Władysław Anders (1890–1970). The sheer volume of primary sources available at the Institute make this a monumental task necessitating strict inner discipline not to be overwhelmed by it. This may in part explain why to date there is no single volume biography of the General encompassing his entire life and the many faceted aspects of his activities.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of the article is to consider the constitutional project under study, which is practically not mentioned in modern historical and historical-legal science. This project was developed by A.P. Rudanovsky at the beginning of the 20th century and published in 1905. The authors define the structure of the project and the mechanisms of public administration embedded in it. A comparative analysis of the document with other drafts of the basic law of the early 20th century, proposed by Russian liberal scientists and politicians, is carried out. The specifics of the mechanisms of public administration embed-ded in the project are revealed; it is proposed to classify the project as so-called "individual" or "private", which helps to understand the atmosphere of intellectual search in the field of constitutional law-making of the early 20th century. As a result, the authors conclude that a broader consideration of such sources reveal a certain category of private and individual projects, whose appearance is associated with the atmosphere of expectation of change in which the Russian intellectual and political elite lived at the beginning of the 20th century.

Any historical figure whose biography includes the fact of being born or educated in a particular city is considered to become a kind of city symbol. For Saratov in the second half of the 20th century, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin has become such a symbol. And this is not surprising, because one of the most important events of the second half of the 20th century is the first manned flight into space, to which the above lines from the poem “Great News” by Saratov poet Isai Tobolsky are dedicated. Despite the universalization of the image of Yu. A. Gagarin, the city of Saratov becomes a landmark in the biography of the spaceman. Exactly here in Saratov the fateful landing place is located. Many iconic objects of worship and reverence appear in the city - not only the streets are named after him, but also the technical school where he studied. There are excursions to “Gagarin’s places”. The goal of this article is to find out how glorification at the regional level becomes the basis for the formation of the city’s image

At the turn of the 20th century, the interest in John Amos Comenius’ legacy was on the rise. While various basic monographs and studies were published at the time, his biography still contained a lot of uncertainties and the list of his works was incomplete. In addition to histori-ans, some teachers who admired Comenius engaged in searching for new facts that would con-tribute to answering some issuable questions. One of them was František Slaměník, the founder of the oldest Comenius Museum. This paper focuses in detail on Slaměník’s reports from his private travels abroad to places linked to Comenius’ life. Slaměník’s texts are interesting evi-dence of comeniological discourse in the Czech lands at the last quater of 19th century with overlap to the beginning of 20th century.

In spite of overwhelming agreement between scientists and scientific agencies around the world that anthropogenic climate change is currently occurring, many American citizens and politicians alike continue to doubt its validity. In this article, we examine 21st-century media reporting and 20th-century cinematic examples that provide possible reasons for why this is the case, especially foregrounding Western cultural perceptions and connotations of the Arctic region, which have constructed an intellectual framework that resists scientific findings of anthropogenic forcing of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
Philosophers in Central Europe are highly dependent on the Western European tradition of philosophy, while politicians in the region tend to use arguments that are often foreign to the ones used in Western Europe. The philosophical tradition of Central Europe is dependent on Western European tradition – it would be impossible to speak about any kind of distinct regional philosophical paradigm. The situation with political self‑understanding in the region is very different. The politicians in the region are aware of the various differences between the two cultural and political traditions. Today these differences have become especially clear in various disagreements between politicians from the Visegrád Group and their colleagues in Western Europe. Politicians from Central Europe propose their own understanding of the meaning of Western civilization. This phenomenon can be described as a new political Messianism. The old Messianims of the 19th century today are being replaced by new consciousness of the specific mission of the region. Conservative politicians propose an understanding of the region which is based on cultural differences from Western Europe. Various conceptions about the singular identity of the region that were developed in the ninth decade of the 20th century by Czesław Miłosz, Milan Kundera and György Konràd today are gaining a new political significance.

Full textAbstract:
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Paris was home to scores of bronze foundries making it the primary European center for the production of artistic bronzes, or bronzes d’art. These foundries were competitive, employing different casting methods—either lost-wax or sand casting—as well as closely guarded alloy and patina recipes. Recent studies have demonstrated that accurate measurements of the metal composition of these casts can provide art historians of early 20th-century bronze sculpture with a richer understanding of an object’s biography, and help answer questions about provenance and authenticity. In this paper, data from 171 20th-century bronzes from Parisian foundries are presented revealing diachronic aspects of foundry production, such as varying compositional ranges for sand casting and lost-wax casting. This new detailed knowledge of alloy composition is most illuminating when the interpretation of the data focuses on casts by a single artist and is embedded within a specific historical context. As a case study, compositional analyses were undertaken on a group of 20th-century posthumous bronze casts of painted, unbaked clay caricature portrait busts by Honoré-Victorin Daumier (1808–1879).

Full textAbstract:
The article aims at providing an adequate linguistic and sociocultural description of rhyming slang based on the use of the names of prominent British government and public figures and politicians, who were widely represented in the British media at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, and are thus included in modern cultural collective memory of the carriers of the English lingual culture. The rhymes contain precedents of onyms − the personal names of well-known, fashionable, popular, or scandalous politicians. The noted tendency of the preferred creation of new rhymes, exploiting the precedent onyms, has become dominant in the development of rhyming slang at the turn of the century. The emergence of rhyming slang units based on the use of the precedent names of politicians and statesmen is a relatively new and insufficiently studied phenomenon while onomastic rhymes that exploit the names of celebrities from the world of cinema, pop music, popular culture and sports are more common and are better studied. The article contains the rhymes that have not yet been recorded in authoritative slang dictionaries. They surely deserve linguistic and sociocultural descriptions.The authors focused on a special and research-promising layer of vocabulary that reflects the sociocultural and historical items in the context of the so-called cultural literacy and is of certain value from the point of view of culture-oriented linguistics, cross-cultural communication and the general study of culture.The results of the research can be useful and interesting for specialists who develop topics of cross-cultural communication, culture-oriented linguistics, linguistic culturology, euphemy, contrastive linguistics of the English and Russian languages.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the conception of the author’s death that was prevalent in the second half of the 20th century, the author’s biography always intervenes indirectly in the canonisation process, either a priori, as an additional argument for canonisation (e.g. participation in the national movement), or a posteriori, when the canonised author acquires, according to Yuri Lotman, the right to a biography. Moreover, biography becomes a significant factor in cases of revising and rewriting the canon, especially when it is related to political changes in society, e.g. in forming a Socialist Realist canon or the case of its radical deconstruction. The focus on biographical texts and authors’ biographies increases significantly in the 21st century, when literature itself tries to erase boundaries between fictional and biographical, and literary scholars discuss whether it is possible to separate the author from his or her work in the contexts of the historical memory and cancel culture. In this theoretical and historical framework, I discuss the role of the biography in the canonisation and decanonisation of a writer, and consider how these processes and the shift in the cultural paradigm influence interpretations of writers’ biographies.

We consider the history of studying the history of Kurds in Russia in the early 20th century. The plans of cooperation between the Russians and Kurds against the Ottoman Empire are analyzed. We consider the socio-political and research activities of Russian politicians and scientists in the framework of solving the Kurdish issue. Research on Kurdistan, which began in the 19th century, continued and developed in Russia. Along with military and strategic studies, there were studies of Kurdish clans and Kurdish society. In addition to Russian scientists, Russian diplomats also contributed to the development of Kurdish studies. Before World War I, Russia tried to establish consulates and shopping centers in Kurdish cities. In the early of 20th century in Russia, Kurdish studies were developing rapidly, which was due to both the international situation and the activity of well-trained specialists-orientalists. Often they, like V.F. Minorsky and I.A. Orbeli, combined official (diplomatic) and research activities. Active role in the formation and development of Kurdish studies played N.I. Marr and A.S. Shamilov, who had no formal linguistic education and has been at the epicenter of political processes in the Soviet historiography and linguistics (repression, criticism of “marisma”). Despite the complex political processes of the early 20th cen-tury, it was during this period that the main ideas about Kurdish history and the Kurdish language were formed, and the main scientific schools were formed, which were developed after 1945.

Full textAbstract:
Professor N.F. Katanov (1862-1922) is one of the outstanding national scholars, representatives of Russian scholarship, education and culture of the 19th-20th centuries. His life’s journey and legacy reflected important events and trends in domestic and world oriental studies and Turkic studies. Stages of his biography and a huge creative heritage are interesting and outstanding, instructive and tragic at the same time. He became the personification of two worlds in Russia - European and Asian. The biography and heritage of N.F. Katanov are of academic and especially scientific and educational, humanistic interest. His life and works should not be perceived only in the system of coordinates of the history of Russian and European oriental studies. It is necessary to take into account the broad socio-political and socio-cultural context of the development of Oriental studies, including Turkic studies, as well as Russian society and the state in the second half of the 19th - the first quarter of the 20th century.

Full textAbstract:
Biographies and Pen-Sketches are two separate branches and lots of these two are available in Urdu Literature as well as writings about these two categories but this article is an effort to find sketches of personalities related to the authors of biographies without whom the author's personality cant be revealed fully. These people may be the author's relatives, friends, peers, observers and other persons who has been with him/her at various stages of author's life. Amongst them may be their parents, children, spouse and other relatives as well as other in the same profession. A good biographer takes are of all the aspects, requirements and dimensions from start to end of an autobiography. A person is central to an autobiography can't be highlighted completely unless different aspects of his/her life are described with reference to other related people. This article focuses on the personalities around the central-to-a-biograpgy person and describes them in the light of various biographies in which he/she is talked about. To support this argument, examples are also taken from the biographies written after the selected biography so that it can be proved that biographers can also tell the importance of presented sketches of other personalities. Although these sketches are not written with any such plan, as compared to formal pen sketches, even then these can be considered important and complete to some extent and are comparable to pen sketches.

Full textAbstract:
This text is an attempt to lucidly present the intellectual biography and theoretical work of Immanuel Wallerstein, the main architect and exponent of world-systems analysis. Given that the entire Wallerstein’s work has been devoted to understanding the reality of the modern world-system as the fundament of every prudent action, this paper should simultaneously be read as a homage to one of the greatest names of the 20th century sociology, and as a reflexion on chaotic present and uncertain future of the world we live in. Having in mind his wide range of scholarly interests and a gargantuan oeuvre left as a legacy, we have selected four main topics discussed in Wallerstein’s work. After a concise review of Wallerstein’s intellectual biography in the introduction, the first part focuses on the methodological and epistemological postulates of world-systems theory. The second part discusses the issue known as the “long sixteenth century”, that is, the genesis of the capitalist worldeconomy, which is also the topic of the first volume of Wallerstein’s most important work The Modern World-System. The third part reviews the historical trajectory of antisystemic movements, from the Old Left in the 19th and the first part of the 20th century, to world revolution of 1968 as a turning point in their development, to modern varieties of these movements. The fourth part discusses the issue of rise and fall of the United States of America as a hegemonic power of the world-system.

Full textAbstract:
Politicians all over Europe used to write about their lives, and keep doing so. Like other well-known persons they are “unusual biographical subjects”, because the biographical activity concerning their lives often starts while they are still alive. (Frank 1999). On the one hand, classical autobiographies written by politicians themselves (and their co-authors or ghost-writers) are published widely and are not only an important part of the memory politics and the construction of national history, but also a contribution to the stabilization of gender conceptions.(Depkat 2014, p .247-265; Ulbrich, Jancke and Bosch 2013, p. 5). Often the (auto)biographers intend to contribute to political and historical analyses. On the other hand, life writing has changed and diversified rapidly during the 20th century. The widespread desire for authenticity and truth seems to be enormous, so we can see a process of democratization, including a change of the concepts of private and public spheres. Nowadays everybody is entitled to present his or her life in public.(Ulbrich, Jancke and Bosch 2013, p.5). Life writing took place not only in hard copy, but in many different media, like radio, film, tv, blogs, facebook and other new social media. So it seems a good moment to look at the (auto)biographies and memoirs in the political area during the 20th and the beginning of the 21th century.

Full textAbstract:
In the mid-19th century, it was generally held by administrators and politicians that institutional confinement was the answer to many social problems. However, there were those both within and outside psychiatry who were concerned about what they perceived to be the limitations of the asylum system given that mental illness was poorly categorised – for example, it was uncertain whether alcohol abuse was an illness – the treatments unproven, and there were likely to be adverse effects of long-term institutionalisation. The size of institutions was questioned, as was the role of the private sector and whether the mentally ill could be entrusted to the care of poorly regulated facilities. This paper examines some of the expressed concerns about care of the mentally ill throughout the second half of the 19th century by reformers and psychiatrists with reference to the culture and management of institutions and private facilities, the exploitation of vulnerable people, and the emergence of home-based care provided by experienced and skilled nurses.

Full textAbstract:
Gareth Stedman Jones has written a scholarly and interesting biography of Karl Marx, framed by the plausible idea that the ‘authentic’ Marx needs to be recovered from layers of 20th-century misinterpretation. The book focuses more on the political context than the intellectual content of Marx's ideas, and its treatment of the latter has some limitations. Not least, the author underestimates the complexity, interest, and relevance, of certain elements of Marx's thought.

This paper is divided into 4 parts. The first deals with the definition of specialties and traces its roots from the early 20th century in the United States of America with the formation and growth of Specialty Boards. The second is a reflection on the scene in Singapore from the 1960s to the present, describing the change from public healthcare institutions run by the civil service to the autonomous restructured public service hospitals towards the end of the 20th century. The third section deals with what the 4ps have expressed about changes necessary to the Singapore system in the 21st century. The 4ps are the politicians, the payers, the patients and the public. It is about value for money, better coordination and better communication. Finally, just what is Internal Medicine – its competencies and its practice. A review of the systems in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA is presented. The idea of the “hospitalist” is discussed. Concluding remarks deal with the viability of Internal Medicine because of low reimbursement, administrative burdens and brief patient visits.

Full textAbstract:
The number of English-language biographies of Arab subjects is tiny compared to the number of English-language biographies of North American and European subjects. I argue that this discrepancy is due to three main factors: the preponderance of historians of Europe and North America in history departments in the English-speaking world; the limited crossover market for serious biographies of Arab subjects; and difficulties arising from access to, and the style of, the Arabic sources. A fragment from the life-story of Fawzi al-Qawuqji, an early-20th-century Arab nationalist and soldier, is introduced as a way of pointing to the challenges of using Arabic memoirs to craft a biographical narrative in English.

The article examines the cultural policy of the Russian right-wing parties and unions of the early XX century. Attention is drawn to the perception of the leaders of monarchical organizations of the processes that took place in various spheres of the cultural life of the Russian Empire.

The efforts of the right-wingers in popularizing the spiritual, scientific and cultural heritage, historical achievements of the Russian people, glorification of its heroes are shown. The specifics of cultural events held by monarchists are revealed. It is proved that the leaders of the Russian right-wing parties focused their efforts not only on criticizing the processes and phenomena in culture and art that disturbed them, but also sought to reverse the situation in this area themselves.

A new field of joint activity under the ministerial program “SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF SCIENCE” could become in the years 2022–2023 press studies (more broadly media studies) focused on media addressed to women and their public perception. Attention should be given to the publications appearing in the 19th–20th-century traditional press as well as on the 20th–21st-century audiovisual media, both classic and digital. When examining their social perception, one should not forget about the use of spoken accounts that fit into the oral history research area, about egodocuments and intimism so important in biography, as well as about traditional and digital press photography.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I aim to determine the place of Marxism in Polish literary studies of the 20th century. The starting point is (1) Czesław Miłosz’s comment on the identity of Marxism and structuralism; (2) the absence of the term ‘Marxism’ in the names of Polish workers’ parties and pro-Marxist academic discourse (except an insignificant short period directly after the Second World War when Marxist rhetoric prevailed). Referring to political history, I suggest an explanation of this state of affairs, revealing the function of Marxism under different names in philosophical texts from the beginning of the 20th century. To support my argument, I draw on documents from the newly discovered archive of Dawid Hopensztand. I use this archive to reconstruct his social biography and justify the main thesis about the permanent presence of Marxism in the works of such thinkers as Leszek Kołakowski, Zygmunt Bauman, and even Czesław Miłosz.

At the present stage, historians are actively discussing the problems of relationships and mutual influences of history and biography. In our opinion, this is explained by noticeable changes in historical science, which have caused significant reorientations of research interests, the discovery of new subjects and topics of biographical research, as well as new directions and methods. Taking these factors into account, this article attempts to consider some of the most frequently discussed theoretical and methodological problems, including the modern ideas of historians about biography, its goals and objectives, the role and significance of biographical research for historical science. If you look closely at the history of the twentieth century, the Kazakh intelligentsia has given birth to many outstanding, bright personalities, and one of them is Khairetdin Bolganbaev. In this regard, in the article, based on the biographical method, the authors identified the place and role of Kh. Bolganbaev in the reconstruction and development of Kazakh society at the beginning of the 20th century.

The article highlights the formation of Slovakia’s highest representative bodies from the mid-19th century to the second half of the 20th century. The article then goes on to describe the process of drafting the Constitution of the Slovak Republic of 1 September 1992 and the importance of the fundamental structure of the parliament and the reasons why the authors of the final draft of the constitution, as well as the MPs who adopted it, turned out to be supporters of unicameralism. The main focus of the deliberations is devoted to the proposals to establish a second chamber of the Slovak Parliament, which were put forward mainly between the years 2000 and 2008. The basic solutions contained in the drafts authored by Slovak political parties, individual politicians, non-governmental organisations or governmental documents indicate the fundamental reasons for putting forward such a concept, which, since the establishment of the Slovak Republic in 1993 until present day, has not enjoyed the interest of politicians from both the governing and opposing political parties.

"Published in 2012, Medusa is the fifth novel by Ricardo Menéndez Salmón, a young Asturian author and an important novelist in the panorama of contemporary Spanish literature. Although the novel plot would seem quite simple – a PhD candidate is writing a thesis on the iconography of evil in the 20th century and ends up reconstructing the biography of Prohaska, a young German who, thanks to his passion for drawing and photography, becomes a propagandist of the Nazi regime – the work results from a complex stratification of different genres and levels of reading, such as the narration of the main historical events in the 20th century; the reflections about existence and the characteristics of human nature; the value of the written word, literature and art as a manifestation and expression of a reality in which time and its passage are essential, captured and therefore communicated to catch the essence of memory and its legacy."
