The article examines the features of memoir narration in the memoirs of Boris Egorov, distinguished by both a special interest in personal history, inscribed in the general historical course, and the need to return again in memory to previously visited significant places. A passionate love of memories is combined in the author’s biography, marked by an unquenchable thirst for wandering, with a fondness for travel. Memories become a journey through the places of personal memory and appear as a journey into the depths of personal history. As a historian of Russian culture, one who professionally deals with the past and interprets the events of the image/svg+xml past, the author of the memoirs clearly understands that these events will certainly leave a mark, if not in documents, then in the human soul, so that the past continues to live in the present and to influence it. Memories of Boris Egorov are a way not only of reproducing, but also transforming pictures of the past, highlighted in the memory of the memoirist: the uniqueness of personality and the uniqueness of private biography allow us to see and comprehend everything that happened in the life of society and individuals in a new way.

Political memoirs form an accessible primary source for the political scientist, but there is considerable disagreement about their usefulness and reliability. Memoirs can be classified firstly according to whether their chief focus is the ethos, the doctrines, or the policy making of political parties, and secondly according to the principal means employed in their compilation - such as diaries, private and official papers, or personal reminiscences. Examples of these different types of memoir written by members of the Thatcher Government are analysed to demonstrate their uses and limitations.

The work examines the features and historical and cultural significance of memoir prose, theoreti-cal and methodological approaches to the study of the genre. Based on the work of A. Urusova, an attempt was made to identify the aesthetic beginning of the memoirs in the totality of their dis-tinctive features: personal experience (through the prism of the author’s individual perception), factuality, retrospectiveness, authenticity, as well as a comprehensive and new look at the work of the Karachay writer, characterized by a non-standard set axiological models of self-expression, a tendency towards clairism, modality. Because of the study of the text of A. Urusova’s book “Yomur tanyshlany sagynyu” (“Memories of contemporaries”, 1975), which reflected the histori-cal fate of the Karachay people through the prism of the activities of passionaries, the concept of historical and typological study of the memoir genre was substantiated, the features of the style and language of memoirs, principles images, the role and place of memoirs in the cultural life of the people and era are revealed. The theoretical significance of the work is in deepening ideas about various literary phenomena, in particular the genre of non-fiction prose - memoirs. Research methods: cultural-historical, descriptive-functional, biographical, historical-typological.

The article about evaluating the importance of the memoires as a source of the history of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1917–1921. Under the conditions of the Civil War, those sources that appear to be more “objective” than those of personal origin lose some of their significance. The normative documents were often a “declaration of intent” and the actual policies were often very different from what was proclaimed in the laws. The old system of office work was destroyed together with the old state apparatus, the new one was just beginning to be created, which could not but affect the quality of information reflected in official documents. In such circumstances, the information contained in sources of personal origin acquires special meaning. They give us the opportunity to see the events through the eyes of their immediate participants and witnesses, to understand their motives and feelings. Of interest are both the memoirs of archpriests, priests and laymen, and the memoirs of those who implemented anti-religious policy. The comparative analysis of various narratives in sources of personal origin and comparison of such memories with the data of archival documents allows specifying important details of the history of the Russian Orthodox Church at the beginning of the 20th century. The memoirs are an important source on the history of the repressions against believers; they also provide valuable information about the political stance of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Stanisław Pigoń’s (1885–1968) Memoir as a Text about Education This article is a reflection on Stanislaw Pigoń’s memoirs: Z Komborni w świat. Wspomnienia młodości [From Kombornia into the world. Memoirs of youth]. This primary source is of a high pedagogical value. I analyze various threads of this memoir from an educational angle. The memoir allows to see how Pigoń’s values were built by his parents during his childhood and then further developed by him in his adult life in academia. I show the role of those values in creating his own character and personality. Pigoń’s memoir causes readers to rethink their own values, it inspires efforts at personal improvement, and it has a deep pedagogical message.

This article delves into the abundant war memoir literature originating from the countries of former Yugoslavia, which has been driven by various wars and the inclination of soldiers, officers, and generals to extol their wartime accomplishments. The prevalence of this literature is especially noteworthy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the most represented memoirs hailing from World War II, followed closely by those concerning the Yugoslav Wars. These memoirs offer diverse perspectives, reflecting the authors’ personal experiences and thoughts during war. While these memoirs do provide rich insights, a critical approach is essential given the inherently political nature of these works. As a valuable source for understanding military history, memoirs play a crucial role in shaping the comprehension of the past. The article underscores that, despite potential biases, the memoir literature presents opportunities for further research and for expanding knowledge about the war in Sarajevo, particularly when complemented by other military sources and archives.

The article studies the private documents of jurors of the Russian Empire such as diaries and memoirs and analyses them as a complex of historical sources containing unique information about the course of the trial and the work of the jury. The pool of documents included two diaries and eight memoirs. The author evaluated the authorship, purpose, place of creation of these documents as well as their content and cognitive value. It is noted that the memoirs under the study share the features which are characteristic of most memoirs of the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries: they were originally aimed at publication and intended primarily for contemporaries; the time gap between the original events and the “memories” of them was relatively short (from several months to several years). The selected documents are primarily the ones belonging to jurors who participated in the metropolitan district courts trials. This fact narrows our understanding of the work of jury in the Russian Empire in the 19th century down to metropolitan provinces.

The history of wars and military conflicts belongs to the current topics of scientific research in modern historiography. An important place in their study belongs to historical sources, in particular memoirs. This article is devoted to the study of the formation and combat path of the Ukrainian self-defence legion based on the memoirs of its members. It is noted that Ukrainian military memoirs of the Second World War are characterized by the political and ideological views of the authors, in addition to the typical separation of memories according to the social characteristics of the memoirist. It has been established that the concept of Ukrainian military memoirs is quite conditional. According to the authors, the main feature of assigning memories to this type is the presence of the idea of struggle for Ukrainian statehood. The article presents a short historical tour of the Ukrainian self-defence legion, the main focus is on highlighting its combat path based on the memories of the participants. It was noted that the memoirs of the legion members were published abroad, primarily in the countries of North America, given the forced emigration of the authors. The authors elaborated and included in the research the memoirs of O. Horodyskyi, M. Karkots-Vovk and K. Hirniak, published at different times in the second half of the 20th century. It has been established that the authors of memoirs mainly describe events that they directly witnessed. Each of the authors provides a description of the events and draws conclusions not only by observing certain processes, but also expresses his attitude and gives an assessment of the events. At the same time, the value of memoirs has been noted as historical sources containing information that is almost never found in official documents. Among it, first of all, it is worth highlighting everyday aspects, the morale of the military, relations with the command, etc. It has been established that Ukrainian military memoirs dedicated to the Ukrainian self-defence legion not only describe the history of this military formation, but also highlight broader issues of the Second World War. The article notes the need to adhere to a critical analysis of memories, because they contain a significant influence of the authors’ personal experience, and, accordingly, subjective assessments of events and phenomena.

Four published memoirs refute culturally dominant ideas about severe mental illness as personal weakness, as something shameful, and as a condition that necessarily leads to isolation and disenfranchisement. The narrative structure and content of the memoirs reveal that people’s experience differs from the hegemonic discourse: while narrating symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and acceptance of the illness, all four authors present themselves as accomplished, self-possessed, and socially integrated. Their memoirs, and the act of narrating their experiences with mental illness, challenge the established cultural discourse of mental illness as limitation. The narratives help change that discourse and our social attitudes toward people with mental illness.

The memoirs of Salomea Regina Pilsztyn née Rusiecka can be called a Baroque novel and, at the same time, is a remarkable monument of Belarusian and Polish literature. The work is a vivid manifestation of the self-identification of the author, who not only tries to see her life path in the context of her contemporary era but also records the memories of her life, recording the movements and experiences of her own soul. Here, the memoir genre gradually begins to dissolve in the narrative strategies of a prose work. War should be considered in memoirs as an artistic image and a phenomenon of everyday life. The discourse and historiosophy of the image of war as a history of everyday life in the memoirs of Salomea Rusiecka become the heart of his narrative strategies. War is one of the most important artistic concepts of this work. The poetics of the image of war in the text is based on a realistic presentation of events and details. War, captivity and death, blood, and suffering in the memoirs of Rusietska de Pilschtyn appear as indispensable and integral details of the history of everyday life of people and peoples of the Baroque era. The author of the memoirs created a memorable image of the war of the Baroque period giving remarkable evidence of the birth of her objectification: the narrator presents herself as a direct participant in the war events – both as a witness of particular historical processes and as involved in the space of war through her personal reflection.

Political terror was a distinctive phenomenon of the Soviet era, affecting broad segments of the population of the USSR. In addition to the official traditional sources on the history of this period (statistics, personal files of prisoners, court materials, periodicals), sources of personal origin play an important role – diaries, letters, interviews and memoirs of prisoners of camps and special settlers. Of particular interest among other sources of personal origin on the history of repression in the USSR are collections of memoirs of the repressed. The largest collection of memoirs is presented on the resource of the Sakharov Center "Memories of the Gulag and their authors". The texts of memoirs posted on this electronic resource have become the main source of this research. Based on the materials of the resource, a full-text thematic collection of memoirs was created and analyzed using the methods of content analysis, network analysis and statistical analysis. A comparative analysis of the reflection of camp life on the pages of memoirs of male and female prisoners is carried out. The analysis suggests that men and women converge in the fundamental aspects of the perception of camps: regardless of gender, the camp stage of life became the most traumatic and was remembered by former prisoners in similar tones. At the same time, neither the gender of the authors of the memoirs, nor the profession, nor the age at the time of arrest, nor the number of years that prisoners were forced to spend in camps globally affect these general perception trends. There are particular features inherent in individual subgroups, both among women and men, of the perception of camps, but in general the perception is the same, and it is the general features of the perception of camp life that are brought to the fore, overshadowing the particular elements. This can serve as a confirmation of the thesis that the collection of memoirs collected and studied in the framework of this study is a mass source.

Memoirs of Wirydianna Fiszerowa as a valuable source of historical data The purpose of this article is to present the work of Wirydianna Fiszerowa, entitled Dzieje moje własne i osób postronnych. Wiązanka spraw poważnych, ciekawych i błahych (Memoirs of myself and others. A mixture of serious, interesting and trivial matters). This incredible story of life in face of the constant threat of war and of living through several political upheavals, all intertwined with personal dramas of an 18th-century woman, makes Fiszerowa's diary unique in the context of Polish memoir writing. The correlation of history and individual experiences of Wirydianna Fiszerowa herself are inseparable elements forming the narrative space of her diary. Thanks to this, Fiszerowa's memoirs are a very important source of historical data, as well as a valuable collection of universal values for future readers. The connection between memoirs or autobiographical literature and history is another issue on which this study is focused. The author of this article aims to present that old literature plays a fundamental role in understanding history, and therefore aids in the interpretation of texts from remote epochs and different cultures.Keywords: history; diary; memoir; autobiography; war; woman;

Although only a decade in age separates each one from the next, the women whose life stories are discussed here represent three distinct Holocaust generations of Hungarian-speaking women. I aim to examine the recently published memories/memoirs of these three women whose narratives are all centered in the Holocaust when the deportations began in Hungary in 1944. Their personal stories are placed within a larger socio-historical context, but treat matters which come within the personal knowledge of the writer and therefore offer precisely the kind of alternative micro-history often provided by women’s narratives. All three authors also have in common that they left their homeland as young adults and hence their stories arguably belong more broadly to the most important subgenre of life writing today. While such writing is produced by both genders, writing by females predominates. My aim is, in part, to examine in the texts under discussion the three autobiographers as self-historians in their retrospective and crafted stories told (and retold) in different contexts, so that their life stories are not merely a recapitulation of past events but rather their creation of personal narrative identities.

Unusual for traditional literary criticism, the article examines the problem of genre attribution of memories that have existed for a long time (from the seventeenth – eighteenth centuries) as a form of presentation in Russian literature. This genre type turns out to be a conditional focus of the history of civilization, as well as a concentrate of thought and feeling of an individual member of society. But the tactics and possibilities of a comprehensive examination of memoirs have not yet been identified. As a result, the most highlighted thesis of consideration is the following: in the process of assessing the informational richness of a memoir text, its characteristic individual tonality should by no means be considered a disadvantage. On the contrary, personal judgments contained in memories increase their value as historical information.

Biographical literature and memoirs play a significant role in shaping our understanding of history. They provide valuable insights into the lives and experiences of individuals, shedding light on the social, cultural, and political contexts of a particular time and place. This holds true for any region, including Kashmir.In the context of Kashmir, biographical literature and memoirs offer glimpses into the lives of notable individuals, their struggles, achievements, and contributions to the region's history. These accounts can range from political figures and leaders to artists, scholars, and everyday people who have made an impact on Kashmiri society. One prominent example of biographical literature in Kashmir is the "Rajatarangini" (The River of Kings), written by Kalhana in the 12th century. It is a historical chronicle of the Kashmir region, encompassing the lives and reigns of various kings and rulers. While not strictly a memoir, it provides valuable biographical information about the rulers and their achievements. In addition to historical chronicles, there are personal memoirs written by individuals from Kashmir. These memoirs offer personal accounts of their lives, experiences, and the socio-political climate they witnessed. They provide insights into the lived realities of people in Kashmir and can help us understand the impact of various historical events and conflicts on individuals and communities.Overall, biographical literature and memoirs contribute to the collective memory and understanding of Kashmir's history, allowing us to explore the human dimension of historical events and gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse perspectives and experiences within the region.

The personal experiences of individuals who lived through the catastrophes of World War II, the Holocaust and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution have been told in many recent memoirs, greatly expanding our understanding of these historical events. In addition to the experiences of the narrators, the fate of their family members, friends, colleagues and entire communities who were all impacted by these events are also illuminated in these accounts. The two memoirs by George Pogany (b. 1928) cover his life since the early 1930s in Hungary, the Holocaust, communism, his escape to the West in 1956, his settlement in England, resettlement in Holland and his years as an international management consultant in several countries. Few memoirs transmit so vigorously the sweep, resiliency, and duration of the author's life and reflections as in Pogany's exceptionally detailed and insightful twofold memoir.

The artist Moisey Fradkin (1904–1974) was a bright talented person in a brilliant galaxy of Ukrainian artists of the late 1920s – mid 1930s. He was a direct participant in the process of forming a special national “face” of graphic art. His works, which were exhibited at numerous foreign exhibitions in Europe and the United States, were noted as “strong and magical.” However, the further Fradkin’s creative destiny was not triumphant – after a very bright surge of original talent, his art was muted in the Procrustean bed of the Stalinist ideology, from about the end of the 1930s to the 1960s. He did not lose his skills, but only at the end of his life, full of wise experience, Fradkin again acquired bright energy and youthful enthusiasm in his work. Fradkin was a widely educated person, he taught at the Kharkiv Art Institute, was an active illustrator, author of easel compositions and graphic miniatures-exlibrises, worked in the field of industrial graphics for many years, headed the section of decorative and applied arts of the Kharkiv Club of Exlibrisists, collected a huge library. He and his wife, H. Krieger put together a unique collection of paintings, graphics and decorative and applied arts (more than 4000 items), which was later inherited by the Kharkiv Art Museum. The museum’s archives contain scattered sheets with fragments of Fradkin’s memoirs about his years of study at the Kharkiv Art College-Institute, which emotionally describe the time of the rapid reform of art education, which was full of contradictions. The article is based on these, not completely deciphered notes, and on the personal memoirs of the author of the article, who was familiar with the artist in the last four years of his life.

“Memories of Russian officers as a source on the history of Russian-Turkish war of 1828–1829. (On an example of A.I. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky and F.F. Tornau)”. In the article is made a comparative analysis of the memoirs of officers of various links of the Russian army on the Russian-Turkish war of 1828-1829. A.I. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky had little personal experience of participation in the immediate life of troops in a campaign in 1829. Therefore his generalizing opinion, as a manager, paradoxically combined with the low informativeness. F.F. Tornau has passed campaign in 1829 at the lowest officer posts of the General Staff. Therefore, his memories more deeply and versatile. Informative component of sources is divided us into four blocks. A significant place in the memoirs is given to life of the rearward and the army. However, it is mainly the life of the officers. Soldier's everyday life in these memoirs practically not displayed.

This article is based on our Memoir Pedagogy Reading Circles research. Using an interpretative sociological case study methodology, we facilitated two groups that read and discussed women’s memoirs as living texts of society, culture, and history; we read the self and the social through the personal narratives of violence, survival, and resistance. e themes that emerged from this collective e ort were a pedagogy for learning and unlearning, a pedagogy for engaging with others, a pedagogy for social justice, and a pedagogy for reclaiming a history. We conclude that, while the contexts, settings, and geographic regions changed in the memoirs, the presence of structural violence was constant. As a pedagogy, the memoir reading circles provided a consistent grounding that helped the participants collectively recognize and negotiate the meaning of the universality and uniqueness of experiences of patriarchy, racism, colonialism, culture, and capitalism as well as the implications of silence, hope, resistance, survival, community, and arts for social transformation.

The study analyzes the memoirs of the Baltic German Herbert von Blankenhagen (1892–1985) “On the Edge of World History. Memories from the old Vidzeme 1913–1923” (Am Rande der Weltgeschichte: Erinnerungen aus Alt-Livland 1913–1923, 1966), especially emphasizing one of their aspects – the depiction of Latvia’s nature and the people of Latvia, without critically delving into a detailed assessment of social and political developments. The author of memoirs, who is actually the only narrator in the literary work, as it turns out, is not only an attentive characterization of social conflicts but also an excellent observer of Latvia’s nature endowed with literary talent, an analyst of Latvians and their domestic life, psychological developments. The author’s narrative clearly reveals all the poetic elements of memoirs as a specific genre – facticity, fictionality and also metafictionality as a particular literary form of memories. However, he uses all the mentioned poetic outlines to evaluate personal experiences and historical processes from his a German-Baltic baron, point of view, as a representative of his native Livonia. The research provides a brief insight into German-Baltic literature, mentions its most important writers (Bernewitz, Josephi, Hubatius-Himmelstjern, etc.), as well as describes the problems of memoir literature, focusing especially on the works of Tartu University scholars. Blankenhagen, as the narrator of the text of the memoir, mercilessly depicts the repressions of the Bolsheviks while at the same time treating with respect the Latvian peasants who do not participate in terrorist actions. The article presents a description of Latvians as an ethnos: they are described in a metafictional literary form as honest and efficient people who do not rob manors but still fight for the establishment of their independent state. However, even this fact does not cause the German-Baltic baron to hate Latvians but is perceived with understanding, distancing himself from any ethnic segregation. The position of the narrator as the author himself in the memoirs is unchanged – it is a humane attitude towards his contemporaries and the masses of people involved in historical events characterized by the spirit of the Enlightenment.

The research paper explores the personal texts of Ukrainian vocal artists of the second half of the twentieth century as written cultural and historical sources that reflect personal perceptions of events, recording them subjectively in various forms of artistic and figurative generalizations (letters, memoirs, diaries, interviews, etc.). The texts by Ukrainian vocal artists of the 1950s–1970s— Borys Hmyria, Bohdan Hnyd, Lilia Lobanova, Yevhenia Miroshnychenko, Kostiantyn Ohnievoi, and Klavdia Radchenko—expand the current understanding of the vocal and performing details of their professional activity. The diaries of L. Lobanova and K. Radchenko significantly complement the picture of their vocal and performing activities. B. Hnyd’s memoirs, based on diary entries and edited in the late 1990s, also provide a deeper insight into the causes and consequences of dramatic socio-cultural events of the 1970s in the country’sleading opera company. For the sake of completeness and objectivity, the memoir texts of other participants and witnesses of these cultural and artistic events were quoted. Analyzed methodological approaches to the personal texts of memoir nature of Ukrainian opera artists of the 1950s–1970s ensure the study of these texts with regard to the features of historical cultural process. This enables the researcher to reconstruct previously unknown or little-known processes of cultural development of the era and to form an unbiased vision of the cultural and artistic institutions (in particular, of the Kyiv Opera).

Abstract Within Pietism the concept of "conversion" played an important role in the life of the individual believer. The author studies the way Moravians spoke and wrote about conversion, and what this meant for the constitution of their personality, as well as the community. The main source form thousands of memoirs (Lebensläufe), written by individual Moravians and preserved as manuscripts in various Moravian archives; hundreds were published in Moravian periodicals. The Moravian understanding of conversion was expressly oriented against every notion of "sanctification". The author argues that conversion was both an individual as well as a communal experience. Individual Moravians were shaped by the vocabulary and framework established by previously published memoirs; on the other hand, individuals also affected the development of memoir-writing with their own, personal interpretations of religious life. For Moravians conversion was a lifelong pilgrimage on precarious terrain. The journey did not lead toward personal perfection, but, as the author explains, toward a radical acknowledgement of human imperfection.

This article traces the convoluted route by which Vladimir Dzhunkovskii's personal papers, originally deposited in Pushkinskii dom in the early 1920s, and his voluminous memoir, acquired by Vladimir Bonch-Bruevich for the State Literary Museum (GLM) in 1934, came to reside in what is now the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF). It also opens windows on little-known aspects of Dzhunkovskii's early life, examines his reasons for writing his memoirs, explores the question of his missing diary, and sheds light on Dzhunkovskii's contacts with Soviet authorities and his consultations for the OGPU. The article shows how Dzhunkovskii's papers, memoirs and persona became issues in the infamous Akademicheskoe delo in 1929 and figured in “museum politics” during the mid-1930s.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The paper considers the ways of authors’ self-representation concerning the presentation of the figure of the ruler in Russian memoirs of the 18th century. The memoirs of the 20s – 50s tend to combine personal and impersonal narrative with the predominance of the latter. This combination makes the view of events seem objective. Memoirists do not make value judg-ments about rulers and describe only facts. However, even in an impersonal narrative, mem-oirists, being former participants or witnesses of the described events, cannot avoid making judgments about various figures of their era. In the 60s and 70s, authors mostly used personal narrative and noticed any shortcomings of the reigning characters. In some cases, memoirists justify and explain them by the harmful influence of the courtier environment or do not rec-ognize them as particularly serious. In other cases, shortcomings in public administration or wrong actions of the monarch are seen as a direct consequence of his personality. Memoirists, whose personal formation, as a rule, was in the time of Peter the Great (Neplyuev, Shakhovskaya), think about the figure of the sovereign as of an absolute super-personal value. Obviously, this personal value came to be devalued in the minds of people of the post-Petrine era and/or those personally affected by the rule of a monarch (Dolgorukaya, Minikh). The process of memoir individualization occurs during this period simultaneously in two direc-tions – of the subject of the utterance and the object of description.

His research, as well as the research of many other scientists, was interrupted by the Great Patriotic War. In the 1990s, the scientist’s son, K. A. Smirnov, compiled memoirs about his father, in which he describes the scientist's attitude to the war, and gives the facts of the archaeologist’s biography in connection with military events. These memoirs are supplemented by the letter from A. P. Smirnov to Kazan archaeologist A. M. Efimova. The documents allow to reveal the facts of A. P. Smirnov’s personal biography, and have an important social significance, reflecting the tragic events of the wartime through personal history.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article examines the everyday and cultural traditions of the Russian population of interwar Сhisinau based on sources of personal origin. There were selected and analyzed unpublished memoirs of contemporaries who belonged to the noble and intelligent urban stratum, kept in the personal funds of the National Archives of Republic of Moldova. The range of topics and plots is very wide, but Russian problems are implicitly present in all memoirs. Describing everyday habits, leisure, professional occupations, social activities of the Russian-speaking intelligentsia of those years, the authors reflect the world outlook and opinions inherent in their ethno-cultural environment. The studied memoirs show that the everyday life and culture of the Russian population of the 1920s and 30s reflected continuity with those that were characteristic of the previous decades. During the period when Bessarabia was part of Royal Romania, the Russian community, being in new social and ideological conditions, tried to preserve their religious and cultural forms of everyday life. However, while remaining outwardly unchanged, many traditions were filled with a different content moving from social to private life. These personal documents and memoirs allow us to focus on the key topic in ethnology: investigation of the daily life of the Russian population in Bessarabia during the interwar period, less studied in historical discourse.

The author introduces two personal memoirs of the contemporaries about Vladimir Solovyov into the scientifi c circulation, presenting them as complete texts published for the fi rst time. In their time those texts escaped the attention of V. Solovyov’s philosophic legacy and personality researchers because they were published in newspapers. One of the memoirs belonged to the publisher Longin F Panteleev (1840 – 1919), and the other one – to Agrafena M. Panyutina (nee Obolenskaya, 1860–1936), who was the cousin of Praskovya V. Trubetskaya – the wife of V. Solovyov’s close friend S.N. Trubetskoy. The memoirs provide new data pertinent to the personality and views of V. Solovyov. They are especially valuable in terms of Solovyov’s personal contemplation of Orthodoxy, which is still one of the most debatable issues for the researchers of the philosopher’s views.

Abstract
The purpose of the article is to analyse and review the views of foreign scholars on the problem of memoir sources, their interpretation as ego-documents; to clarify modern theories and discourses on the motivation and vectors of internal narration; studies on the interpretation of self-presentation, the construction of plot structures in memoirs/autobiographies; to highlight the interplay of social construction on memory and understanding your own self. Methodology. The principles of historicism, objectivity, multifactoriality, systematicity, socio-cultural, anthropological, and critical-analytical approaches were followed in the course of the study. The methods of historiographical analysis and synthesis, comparative studies, scientific criticism, systematic and analytical, and historical and comparative methods were used. The scientific novelty lies in the disclosure of the conceptual approaches of foreign humanities to the study of the source potential of memoirs, event reflection display problems, memory in written self-presentation. It is found that historical science, sociology, philology, and psychology are actively appeals to memoir/autobiography studios as a unique source of personal experience, imagination, and demonstration of the variability of representation of the past.
Conclusions. So, memoirs serve as a tool for studying socio-cultural components, historical context, and identity. Today, ego-history is gaining popularity through the dissemination of interventional autobiographies, which are used by historians themselves, constructing history in real time in the first person. Thus, ego-documents significantly expand the scope of academic discourse and demonstrate the relationship between the individual and the collective. A distinctive feature of the contemporary views of American researchers and authors is the identity, the unification of the terminology of memoir and autobiography, that is, the emergence of a hybrid form. Memoirs are an expression of a substitute tradition in relation to the official tradition, giving autonomy to an individual vision. Memoirs play a social role in historical reconstruction. Memoirs/autobiographies are sources of "authentic" knowledge of everyday life on a certain continuum, the history of imagination and values, as opposed to abstraction. The meanings of the experience are merged into semantic formats and organised into vectors of autobiographical narrative. The historian who works with ego-documents as written codes in the course of research gains new knowledge that reveals the specifics of unknown facts and destroys the stability of already conventionally or factually formed opinions, i.e. initiates revisionism of information and a revolution in already established statements that are equated with canons.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The development of genetic science brings forth a third group besides the healthy and the ill: the high-risk group who carries certain disease-related genes. In the era of genetics, people try to assess risks with statistical numbers and eliminate risks by Western medical measures. In this context, personal genetic risk narratives (usually in the form of memoirs) emerged in Great Britain and America in the 1990s. The thesis has a close reading of three British and American genetic risk memoirs and wants to find the characteristics and values of the new genre. The memoirs are featured by their vivid description of the narrator’s difficult and complex situation in face of genetic risks. In an era when the body is dominated by statistical numbers, these narratives make personal meaning of impersonal statistics. Genetic risk narratives express a strong belief in genetic technology and Western medical myth. However, the narrative divergence and self-contradiction in the memoirs exposes the limitation of genetic determinism and thus deconstructs the Western medical myth.

The article looks into the poetic style of the new book of memoirs of Mikhail Atamanov “Ulon-vylon Daurkae: todevayonyos” (The World of My Life-Being: Memoirs) in the context of the development of non-fiction literature in the Udmurt literary process at the turn of the century. The focus is on the artistic features of the genre of memoirs in the works of a Finno-Ugric scholar, essayist, publicist, missionary, translator of the Bible and liturgical literature into the Udmurt language, compiler of the national epic “Tangyra”. The main theme of the memoirs is the theme of motherhood and fatherhood, the image of a small homeland, the ethnic history of the Udmurt people, the path to Christianity. For Mikhail Atamanov, the source for creating the memoirs was his studies in linguistics, ethnography and expeditions to the Udmurt ethnic groups along with his personal life experience. Special poetry to the leading images of the memoirs, the portraits of the parent home and small homeland, is created by a deep knowledge of folklore, folk traditions, the bearer of which is the author of memoirs. In addition to that, Atamanov’s book is significant for the theme of road, which is not so notable at first sight. It is associated with his life experience, personal becoming, his studies, work, spiritual and scientific growth. It is worth noting that the theme of continuity of generations, inherited memory of the public, common closeness with the ancestors is also topical in the memoirs. One of the burning issues of the book is the theme of the nation’s future. The author is overly concerned about the globalization processes in the world, he is hurt by the fact that the current generation of Udmurts doesn’t much care for keeping the Udmurt language and traditions of the nation.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In Notes from the Dead House, fictional narrator Aleksandr Petrovich Gorianchikov appears as wife murderer in the preface and as a political prisoner in the memoirs. In the preface, Gorianchikov experiences moral anguish over his crime. But the memoirs actively employ social analysis to shift the burden of guilt from convicts onto the social structure. This authoritarian structure, which divides society into an underclass of ignorant “children” ruled by violent “fathers,” notably excludes women. The murder of a second wife in an inset tale brutally enacts this exclusion: while Gorianchikov's social analysis helps him understand many of the prisoners, it cannot account for the convict Shishkin's murder of his wife Akulka. Gorianchikov's personal guilt for murdering his wife constitutes a response to—and a repetition of—the moral bewilderment that emerges out of Akulka's death. Seen in this light, the formal tensions between preface, memoir, and inset tale are motivated by and demonstrate a conflict between social analysis and individual responsibility.

The author analyzes the memoirs of Ibrahim Makhmudovich Makhmudov (1893-1970), an Astrakhan Yurt Tatar, one of the active builders of the Soviet system in the Tatar villages of the Astrakhan region. Shortly before his death, in 1969, I.M. Makhmudov completed a handwritten version of his memoirs, in which he reflected aspects of the daily life of the Muslim community of the Yurt-Tatar village of Zatsarevo in 1900-14. Based on the personal observations, Makhmudov compiled memories of the last decade and a half of the quiet life of the Tatar-Muslim community of a provincial Russian town before the turbulent events of wars and revolutions that ended with the establishment of Soviet power. The author of the memoirs, as an eyewitness and bearer of cultural tradition, comprehensively and deeply, sometimes scrupulously, covers the events of the early 20th century in a closed Muslim community - the mahalla. However, his assessments to these events and lifestyle area also assessments of a Soviet party leader, who both was an atheist and a person with a huge life experience in the struggle for the ideals of Soviet power as well as a convinced supporter.

Few economists choose to write memoirs, and of those who do most adopt the "logic of my contributionsŁ approach. Tibor Scitovsky, Hungarian-born theorist who spent most of his career at Stanford and Berkeley, instead left us unpublished recollections, many of his childhood, others bearing on his personal philosophy (and shift therein) - of teaching, of the role of economic theory, of its imperfections. By their nature these Memoirs give us glimpses into his nimble, original thinking, without being weighed down with considerations of priority, answering critics, and so on. The paper tries to capture this spirit, frequently in Scitovsky's own words.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article analyzes how narratives about the COVID-19 pandemic are beginning to memorialize lives lost in the crisis. It juxtaposes the author’s personal experience of the loss of family members with emerging memoirs by South Asian women to explore the diversity of genres like the lyric essay and the graphic memoir that memorialize lives lost to COVID-19. While acknowledging that the current pandemic and its effects are far from over, the essay argues that these memoirs are a conscious attempt to mourn and thereby restore the humanity of lives robbed of traditional acts of remembrance due to the isolation and bureaucracy of laws governing COVID-19 deaths and funerals. These texts by Barkha Dutt, Kay Sohini, and Jhumpa Lahiri are exceptional because the great majority of deaths during this time have been consigned to erasure, lack of documentation, or censorship. These texts are resisting the dominant trend to leave the pandemic behind and resume normal lives. By committing to grief instead of a facile recuperation, these memoirs are not just charting a private path of healing but also transforming private grief into a statement of shared suffering and solidarity, even when the pandemic has affected individuals differently based on stratifications of race, class, and privilege.

The article is devoted to the reviewing of theoretical aspects of nonfiction literature. Similar in semantic content, but not identical terms as nonfictional literature, nonfictional writing, literature of fact, factography, fiction-documentary literature, fiction-documentary prose, fiction-documentary writing, literary nonfiction, literature of non-fiction, nonfictional prose, factual narrative, which have become commonly used in American, Spanish, Ukrainian, French, Slavic terminology, are analyzed. All these terms refer to a set of texts written on the basis of real events without the use of fiction. Typical features of this type of literature are the synthesis of documentary components and fiction, veracity, factuality, authenticity, objectivity, the use of real names, dates and geographical indications. At the same time, the reflection of real events and their participants is presented through the prism of the author’s self, and therefore subjectivity, personal component, merging of images of the author and the narrator are added to the leading features of nonfiction literature. The article focuses on the main structural and typological branches of nonfiction literature – historical nonfiction, literary biography, fictional journalism and memoirs. In compiling this classification, the main object of the non-fiction narrative was taken into account in the first place; sources of documentary information; varieties of author's presence in the text (in particular, as an outside observer, witness or main character); subjective factor of personal participation in the events described in the work, or personal acquaintance with the direct participants in the events; genre-typological characteristics of nonfictional works. The article highlights the main typological characteristics of each type of non-fiction, analyzes their genre system, presents the characteristics of varieties and subvarieties. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of memoirs, which is a complex and multilevel type of non-fiction, which, in turn, consists of several subvarieties – the memoirs, the autobiography, the diary, the epistolary. The article differentiates the subvarieties of memoir literature, considers options for the synthesis of its types and forms.
