In order to understand Moscow’s decision to deport the Chechens and other North Caucasians in 1943-4, it is essential to analyze the situation as it presented itself to the Soviet leadership during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The topics covered in this chapter include an in-depth analysis of the functioning of Chechen society and politics, including the role of traditional clan and family structures; the difficulties of the various state mobilization campaigns, namely the effort to mobilize soldiers for the Red Army; the situation in the Chechen-Ingush republic during World War II and the phenomenon of desertions and anti-Soviet rebellions.

Definition Of

The first part of the paper introduces the definition of the term Silesian harm and describes ways in which it can be observed among Upper Silesians. Further, the author elaborates on how the phenomenon emerged during the interwar period and how it was strengthened during and after the World War II, which led to exacerbation of national and ethnic conflicts in Upper Silesia. One of the effects of the World War II, was the invasion of the Red Army on Silesian lands and a wave of hatred, which led to the tragedy of the civilian population, referred to today as the Upper Silesian Tragedy. In the end, mechanisms of strengthening and consolidation of the sense of harm and abuse among the population of Upper Silesia are studied. The role of the Silesian harm in the process called 'the Upper Silesian awakening' has been scarcely studied in scholarly literature before, but its evolution indicates that the role it plays among the indigenous population of Upper Silesia has changed. Silesian harm is no longer seen as a stigma, but it has become a motivation for social and political action and participation.

В статье исследуется актуальная на сегодняшний день проблема изучения опыта ведения боевых действий в годы Великой Отечественной войны. Акцентируется внимание на участии в оборонительных действиях частей народного ополчения в ходе Московской битвы, в том числе на Рязанском участке обороны, на основных направлениях деятельности чрезвычайных органов управления на территории Рязанской области по формированию и обеспечению подразделений народного ополчения. Опыт и проблемы применения последних рассмотрены на примере и в сравнении с ополченческими формированиями других регионов, так же ставших местом сражений Московской битвы. На основе изложенного в статье материала сформулированы выводы и обобщения по предлагаемой теме. В ходе боевых действий под Рязанью непосредственное участие в защите оборонительных рубежей, разведке противника и охране важных объектов города принимали подразделения 1-го Рязанского добровольческого рабочего полка. Как составляющая часть народного ополчения Рязанский добровольческий рабочий полк под руководством опытного командира И. Н. Ромадина смог стать реальной силой и во взаимодействии с регулярными частями Красной армии сыграл важную роль в обороне города Рязани. В статье использованы материалы мемуаров участников событий, архивных документов, научных научно-популярных изданий современных авторов, региональных энциклопедий и справочников. The article treats an issue of undisputable relevance, namely, the issue of investigating warfare activities and operations in World War II. The article focuses on the role of the Home Guard in protecting the Ryazan defense area and other defense areas during the Battle of Moscow. It also focuses on civil defense activities of the Defense Committee of the Ryazan Region. The article assesses civil defense activities and operations of the Ryazan Defense Committee and compares them with those of other regions which were also involved in the Battle of Moscow. On the basis of the assessment, the author formulates some observations and conclusions. The First Ryazan Home Guard Unit was engaged in the protection of defensive lines, safeguarded important municipal facilities, was engaged in intelligence operations. The Ryazan Home Guard Unit led by an experienced military officer I. N. Romadin was an important asset in civil defense and helped the Red Army troops to protect Ryazan. The article uses memoirs written by the participants of the events, archival materials, regional encyclopedia and reference books, and popular scientific papers written by modern authors.

The Relationship

John Cranko's dramatic and theatrically powerful Antigone (1959) disappeared from the ballet repertory in 1966 and this essay calls for a reappraisal and restaging of the work for 21st century audiences. Created in a post-World War II environment, and in the wake of appearances in London by the Martha Graham Company and Jerome Robbins’ Ballets USA, I point to American influences in Cranko's choreography. However, the discussion of the Greek-themed Antigone involves detailed consideration of the relationship between the ballet and the ancient dramas which inspired it, especially as the programme notes accompanying performances emphasised its Sophoclean source but failed to recognise that Cranko mainly based his ballet on an early play by Jean Racine. As Antigone derives from tragic drama, the essay investigates catharsis, one of the many principles that Aristotle delineated in the Poetics. This well-known effect is produced by Greek tragedies but the critics of the era complained about its lack in Cranko's ballet – views which I challenge. There is also an investigation of the role of Antigone, both in the play and in the ballet, and since Cranko created the role for Svetlana Beriosova, I reflect on memories of Beriosova's interpretation supported by more recent viewings of Edmée Wood's 1959 film.

Mayer Kirshenblatt remembers in words and paintings the daily diet of Jews in Poland before the Holocaust. Born in 1916 in Opatóów (Apt in Yiddish), a small Polish city, this self-taught artist describes and paints how women bought chickens from the peasants and brought them to the shoykhet (ritual slaughterer), where they plucked the feathers; the custom of shlogn kapores (transferring one's sins to a chicken) before Yom Kippur; and the role of herring and root vegetables in the diet, especially during the winter. Mayer describes how his family planted and harvested potatoes on leased land, stored them in a root cellar, and the variety of dishes prepared from this important staple, as well as how to make a kratsborsht or scratch borsht from the milt (semen sack) of a herring. In the course of a forty-year conversation with his daughter, Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, who also interviewed Mayer's mother, a picture emerges of the daily, weekly, seasonal, and holiday cuisine of Jews who lived in southeastern Poland before World War II.

This paper explores the link between explicit Luxembourgish language policy and the actual practices as well as expressed attitudes of a group of speakers of Luxembourgish, with the aim of studying the role of World War II in the advancement of Luxembourgish as Luxembourg’s national language. The first two sections introduce the theoretical approach of the paper and provide an overview of the history and present situation of Luxembourg and Luxembourgish. The following two sections present the findings of a sociolinguistic study of language choice, language values and identities, and linguistic (in)security among a group of Luxembourgish letter-writers, as well as recent interview data provided by the sole surviving correspondent. The final section brings together these results and the claims made regarding the role of World War II in the changing status of Luxembourgish and points out the complexity of this discussion.
