September 1932 marks the hundredth anniversary of the opening of b. Alexandria Theater, now the State Drama Theater. This jubilee takes place on the 15th anniversary of October, coinciding with the beginning of the second five-year plan, the five-year plan for building a classless society, the five-year plan, which should eliminate the remnants of capitalist elements not only in the economy, but also in the minds of people.

Abstract On JNER’s 15th anniversary, this editorial analyzes the state of the field of neuroengineering and rehabilitation. I first discuss some ways that the nature of neurorehabilitation research has evolved in the past 15 years based on my perspective as editor-in-chief of JNER and a researcher in the field. I highlight increasing reliance on advanced technologies, improved rigor and openness of research, and three, related, new paradigms – wearable devices, the Cybathlon competition, and human augmentation studies – indicators that neurorehabilitation is squarely in the age of wearability. Then, I briefly speculate on how the field might make progress going forward, highlighting the need for new models of training and learning driven by big data, better personalization and targeting, and an increase in the quantity and quality of usability and uptake studies to improve translation.

As a complementary piece to her preceding article on the formative significance of The Seagull to Stanislavsky's early thinking, Bella Merlin here looks at the play in the context of Stanislavsky's later work, when he was developing the Method of Physical Actions – an approach to a text which placed improvisation and the physical exploration of a scene at the centre of the actor's rehearsal process. This was in some ways a contravention of what was becoming codified in the West (through limited material being available in translation) as the psychological basis of the system. In 1995, Bella Merlin undertook a ten-month course of actor-training at the State Institute of Cinematography in Moscow, where she worked with acting ‘master’, Albert Filozov, who had trained with Mikhail Kedrov, one of the first developers of Stanislavsky's work following his death in 1938. Here, she examines the roots of Filozov's training and the nature of the Method of Physical Actions in theory and in practice. Bella Merlin trained as an actress in Britain and Russia, and has worked extensively in theatre and television. She is currently a lecturer in Drama and Theatre Arts at Birmingham University, where her area of research is acting processes and the psycho-physical nature of performance. This article is based on a paper delivered at the ‘Flight of the Seagull’ conference at the Alexandrinsky Theatre, St Petersburg, in November 1996, to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the premiere of The Seagull.


limited to the desirable speed for attaining it and methods for doing so. Doubtless this was how it appeared at the outset to those involved. In retrospect, however, we can see that this distinction between ends and means is too simple. The reality is that ends and means rarely form a simple hierarchy or are easily separable. Means must be designed with the end in view; if the objective is not clearly perceived, then the design of policy will incorporate unforeseen distortions which may limit or even prevent attainment of the given goal. Means which turn out not to lead to the designated objective will have some other outcome instead. When ends and means prove incompatible it may suddenly transpire that the means are more precious than the original end, attainment of which is deferred or abandoned. Of course in many cases there will be several different routes to the same destination and, under these conditions, the choice of route will rest primarily on considerations of speed and economy of effort. But in other circumstances what is apparently a choice of means to an end will turn out to involve the choice of ends as well. Here different means incorporate different objectives and may be taken to stand for them; they become just as charged with value (or its opposite) as the goals to which they correspond. In theory Bolshevism was directed towards a classless society in which the state was to have 'withered away', coercion being replaced by voluntary association and co-operative creativity. Yet the circumstances of international and social conflict prompted the Soviet regime, from its first moments, to resolute measures of governmental and social coercion. These measures prompted deep divisions within Bolshevism. What was at issue was the appropriateness of such methods on grounds both of expediency (the regime's survival) and of principle (the regime's permanent objective of a socialist society). The question of expediency was settled in the sense that the regime survived. The question of principle remained unresolved. Was coercion a temporary expedient and the state no more than a necessary evil in the course of struggle for the realisation of human freedom? Or should Bolsheviks attach a positive value to their refinement and extension? And if coercive disciplines and authoritarian centralisation were to become the central themes of Bolshevik practice, what kind of society would result - a society capable of evolving towards the goals originally defined, or some more primitive and limited variant, or even a reversion to something completely antithetical to communist ideals? It was Bukharin who revealed most clearly the closeness of these issues to the debate over 'primary socialist accumulation'. He had broken with the left during the period of reassessment immediately following termination of the civil war, and became a leading exponent of the theory and practice of NEP as a possible road to socialism. He criticised both Preobrazhensky's concept of primary socialist accumulation and Stalin's subsequent attempt to secure a temporary 'tribute' from the peasantry - the former on the grounds that it would require widespread coercion to prevent peasant withdrawal from the market, losing the goodwill of the peasant masses without whom socialism could not be built in Russia; the latter because Stalin's policies for grain requisitioning initiated in the spring of 1928 amounted to 'military-feudal exploitation' of the village [e.g. Cohen, 1975:160- 73, 306- 7]. In neither case

Against a widespread misunderstanding, Marx and Engels did not consider ideology as a mere form of consciousness expressing an underlying economic interest. They developed a critical approach that saw ideology as an alienated socialization from above, which is to be overcome in a classless society. It is also shown that their ideology-critical approach was not restricted to a critique of “false consciousness” but was mainly interested in unveiling the real “inversions” in the societal relations of class societies: the division of manual and intellectual labor; the fetishism of the commodity, money, and capital; and finally in the detached position of the state emerging together with class antagonisms as the “first ideological power” (Engels) over society. Marx and Engels thus anticipated a materialist concept of the ideological that was later developed explicitly in theories of hegemony and of ideology (e.g. by Gramsci, Althusser and the Berlin Projekt Ideologietheorie [PIT]).

W 2011 r., z okazji zbliżającej się, setnej rocznicy wybuchu powstania wielkopolskiego, Archiwum Państwowe w Poznaniu przystąpiło do rejestrowania i digitalizacji dokumentów dotyczących powstania, znajdujących się w zasobach Archiwum. Szczególnie interesujący jest zespół nr 884: Związek Powstańców Wielkopolskich, w którym zgromadzono dokumenty niemal wszystkich związków kombatanckich zrzeszających weteranów wielkopolskich wydarzeń z lat 1918–1919. Zachowany materiał, zebrany w 402 j.a. (13 960 rekordów spisu), choć nierówny merytorycznie, pozwala zorientować się wielokierunkowo w realiach środowiska w okresie (zwłaszcza) międzywojennym. Spis zespołu został zakończony i jest gotowy do udostępnienia w sieci. Polish Association of the Veterans of National Uprisings 1914–1921 and the Association of Greater Poland Uprising Veterans 1918–1919 in the light of the materials of the State Archive in Poznań In 2011, to celebrate the upcoming one-hundredth anniversary of the Greater Poland Uprising, the State Archive in Poznań began registering and digitalizing documents regarding the uprising, found in the collection of the Archive. Fond no. 884: “Association of Greater Poland Uprising Veterans” is particularly interesting. It includes documents on nearly all veteran associations uniting veterans of the events in Greater Poland in the years 1918–1919. The preserved material, collected in archival unit 402 (13 960 records on the list), though of varying quality, allows one to gain some knowledge on the operation of the community, especially in the interwar period. The inventory of the fond is now complete and ready to be shared on the Internet.

The 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University (UKSW) archive is a good moment to reflect on its operation. Its annual reports enable us to recognize the scale and quality of the archive’s operation. Reports prepared between 2003 and 2015 for various purposes and authorities show how the archive has fulfilled its basic duties. The quality of UKSW’s archive is monitored by the State Archive in Warsaw.As ainter-faculty unit of UKSW, the archive also comes under the authority of one of the University’s deputy vice-chancellors.The archive mainly reports to these principal bodies on an annual basis.The archive holds the records of the Warsaw Theological Academy which was later transformed into UKSW.

The essays contained in this and the October 2003 special issues of theJournal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Erawere originally delivered at a conference sponsored by Indiana State University, the repository of the Debs papers and site of his house, now a national landmark. Intended to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Debs' first run for the presidency, the conference themes of socialism and dissent attracted a diverse group of scholars, intellectuals, and activists. Their contributions help us gauge the state of the field. They also suggest new departures in the study of socialism.
