This article analyzes how the Poles and Jews who disappeared from the western Ukrainian city of L'viv as a result of the Second World War are remembered in the city today. It examines a range of commemorative practices, from monuments and museums to themed cafes and literature, and analyzes how these practices interact to produce competing mnemonic narratives. In this respect, the article argues for an understanding of the city as a complex text consisting of a diverse range of mutually interdependent mnemonic media produced by a range of actors. The article focuses in particular on the ways in which Ukrainian nationalist narratives interact with the memory of the city's “lost others.” The article also seeks to understand L'viv‘s memory culture through comparison with a range of Polish cities that have faced similar problems with commemorating vanished communities, but have witnessed a deeper recognition of these communities than has been the case in L'viv. The article proposes reasons for the divergences between the memory cultures of L'viv and that found in Polish cities, and attempts to outline the gradual processes by which L'viv‘s Polish and Jewish pasts might become more widely integrated into the city's memory culture.

In the present article author’s considerations on a fundamental economic problem are carried out, and results and conclusions, arising out of author’s investigationsр, are discussed. The problem of the depreciation of fixed assets has always been central to the accounting science, the economy and society. The article attaches importance to fundamental scientific research works, emblematic for the Bulgarian accounting science in its classical (pre-Second World War) period, during which the theoretical and methodological bases of the problem of the depreciation of fixed assets were developed. The article highlights, analyzes and summarizes views of distinguished theoreticians of the depreciation problem, that have most substantially influenced the process of developing and systematizing specialized accounting knowledge on depreciation. On the bases of the retrospective comparative analysis, it is argued that the foundational research and conceptual ideas of the classical period and later, have contributed to a considerable expansion and enrichment of the system of knowledge in this scientific field.

The conclusion examines the situation after the Second World War. It shows how the linguistic turn in analytic philosophy ended and how the social democratic settlement in Western Europe gave birth to the new linguistic turns known as structuralism. The author explores the former by examining the career of Richard Rorty and the latter by looking at how Roland Barthes combines ideas from Saussure with a project for a radical analysis of French everyday life in the Mythologies. The book concludes with a review of how the various linguistic turns overinvested in the idea of language.

Operational research is a scientific discipline that appeared in Great Britain on the eve of the Second World War. Bomber Command’s Operational research section began its studies in September 1941, using civilian scientists to analyse the bombing operations. Two potentially conflicting goals were pursued, one intended to maximize the offensive power against Germany, the other striving to minimize bomber losses. This article uses the Operational research performed during the conflict to illustrate the choices made by Bomber Command between those two possibilities, concluding on a clear priority in favour of the offensive.

A number of the conflicts that wracked European countries under Axis-power occupation during the Second World War can be understood as civil wars. This analytical prism should be seen as complementing rather than replacing the more conventional pairing of collaboration and resistance. The three European cases from this period that best fit conventional notions of civil war in terms of the intensity and duration of fighting among co-nationals are Greece, Yugoslavia, and Italy. A comparative analysis can yield insights into the complex interplay of historical continuities and ruptures, and of nationalist and internationalist frames of reference, in shaping the agendas and choices of participants in these violent struggles.

A remembrance of the experience of Baghdad during the Second World War, is presented mainly from the vantage of the book sellers’ market of Suq Al Sarai, located in the centre of Baghdad near Al-Sarai and Al-Mutanabbi streets. The Suq, long the locale of cultural exchange and a foundry for Iraqi intellectual life, experienced the war in a unique way, with shortages of paper and accessibility to foreign books, journals and voices at the fore, rather than the absence of foodstuffs and other necessities of everyday life made short due to the war. The author notes how the violence and the attendant dislocation brought to this home of ideas and comity was to see itself repeated with even much greater bloodshed in a further violent clash during 2007.
