The letter from the poet, the founder of Russian futurism David Davidovich Burliuk (1882– 1967) was written on August 3 of 1923. His addressee was Aleksander Alekseevich Cherdantsev (1871–1943). The letter is kept in the collection of the writer, local historian and a collector of documentary materials Alexander Kuzmich Scharts (1906–1986) in the Ural Writers Museum. The content of the letter is associated with a famous episode of the biography of David Burliuk, his lfe in 1915–1918 in the village of Buzdak near Ufa. Here he created more than 200 paintings. Also he was the active member of the Ufa art circle (1913–1918) at the provincial museum (he communicated with local artists, organized exhibitions). In 1918 Burliuk traveled from Siberia, then emigrated first to Japan (1920) and then to the USA (1922). His paintings remained in Buzdyak. Some of them after 1918 ended up in museums (mainly the Ufa Art Museum) while the other part was scattered. The fate of the abandoned paintings was worried Burliuk. He established correspondence with A. A. Cherdantsev and then replaced him as director of the museum Ylius Yulievich Blumenthal (“My dear, old, but forever young friend, David Burliuk!” Moscow, 2018). Obviously this letter was only a bit in the correspondence which was conducted in 1923. The letter is important for determining the degree of involving of the poet and the emigrant artist in the cultural life of Ufa and more broadly the Soviet Union in the 1920s. This demonstrates his attitude to his own artistic heritage. The letter in an allows to reconstruct some contexts that were not disclosed in the previously published correspondence of Burliuk.

Edith and E. F. Penrose returned to the USA in 1946 to serve Winant, now the US representative on the UN Economic and Social Council during the first sessions of the United Nations in New York. Edith supported Eleanor Roosevelt as chair of the Commission for Human Rights in drawing up the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As tensions rose between the Soviet Union and the USA Winant resigned. Penrose moved to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton to write Economic Planning for the Peace before becoming professor of Geography and International Relations at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore where Edith took an MA and PhD on economic aspects of patents under Fritz Machlup. Edith’s son David rejoined the family and Edith had another son, Perran. In the autumn of 1947 Edith and her husband were shaken by Winant’s suicide followed by the death of their son, Trevan.

Draft Resolution

The resumed 30th session of the Economic and Social Council (ESOSOC) was held in New York on December 21 and 22, 1960, under the presidency of Mr. C. W. Schurmann (Netherlands). At the beginning of the 1135th meeting, the President read a note from the Secretary-General concerning the projected working agreement between the United Nations and the International Development Association (IDA), and introduced a draft resolution co-sponsored by Denmark and Japan callingon the President to negotiate with IDA with a view to drafting such an agreement. Mr. Makeev, speaking for the Soviet Union, stated that his government could not favor the draft resolution unless the proposed agreement included a provision recalling the terms of Article 58 of the Charter, relating to the coordination of the activities of the specialized agencies; the President replied that, although he was authorized to negotiate with representatives of IDA, he could not impose conditions. The delegates of China and New Zealand stated that they supported the draft resolution, and added that the essential point was to ensure liaison between the various organs dealing with development. The representative of Afghanistan likewise voiced support, pointing out that the draft resolution in essence merely requested the President to negotiate with representatives of IDA. The draft resolution was adopted without dissenting voice with the understanding that the President would take into account the observations of the members of the Council in the course of the negotiations
