Abstract. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have strong traditions of musical bands that date back to princely and Cossack times. The task of their orchestras is to boost the morale of servicemen, to strengthen the power of the Ukrainian army by means of musical arts, as well as to perform at festive events (both at the local and the state level). However, despite the importance and diversity of creative and educational activities of the Military Orchestra Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, no comprehensive study of historical aspects of the functioning of music and military bands in national musicology has been conducted. The purpose of the article is to analyze the historical process of the formation of traditions of professional training of members of military musical bands at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries in the Ukrainian lands, as well as ceremonial and social functions of their concert activity. Research methodology. The overview is based on historical, structural and systemic methods. Results. Traditions of military orchestral training in Ukraine have deep historical roots and are based on multicultural principles. Traditions of performance and training in military musical bands of the Armed Forces of the independent Ukraine were formed on the basis of the three lines of continuation: princely and Cossack music­artistic formations and bands of the time of liberation movements (LUSR — Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, UIA — Ukrainian Insurgent Army), which represent their direct national line; Russian military orchestras with the participation of Ukrainian specialists; and multinational Austrian and Polish military music bands in Ukrainian territories. All of them together formed the basis on which the Ukrainian military and musical tradition was based, absorbing all the most relevant and productive aspects of the experience gained. Novelty. The activity of centers in which members were trained for existing military orchestral groups in the Ukrainian lands, as well as ways in which such training was performed, and the development of professional training of musicians were considered. Practical significance lies in the consideration of prospects for further detailed study of the functioning of separate bands, their repertoire, instruments, ceremonial and social functions, achievements of particular individuals in the field of performance, pedagogy and conducting. Conclusions. In the activity of military orchestras in the Ukrainian lands at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries we can see a combination of military­ceremonial and social palace­concert functions, wide involvement of all segments of the society in concert touring, which completely dictates the rich repertoire. From LUSR schools and guilds, professional training of musicians was gradually transformed into the activities of specialized training units at the military formations, cadet schools and trumpet schools, institutions at music societies and professional music training in conservatories.

Coups D'etat

At the beginning of this study of military dictatorship and the political role of the intellectuals in Latin America, Florestan Fernandes (1970: 1) makes the following statement: “The idea that Latin America is a region in which the coups d'état are a political routine has become a commonplace.” Without doubt, such an opinion is justified and also explains—at least to a certain extent—the wealth of “routine” verdicts on the function of the military in Latin America. A contradiction, however, seems evident at this point: while the number of publications on the political and social position of the armed forces is rapidly increasing (McAlister, 1966; Rouquié, 1969), there is an evident lack of comprehensive analyses that go beyond detailed description, and which explain in a reliable and sound manner the phenomenon of the cyclically increasing militarization of politics. It cannot be overlooked that research on the role of the military in Latin America is in a really critical situation which calls for a reexamination of the facts according to new criteria.

The geopolitical security condition of Eastern Europe has undergone a drastic shift from Communist to Democratic ideology. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Poland immediately joined the Western alliance, which led to the massive structural changes of the country. The shift has had an enormous impact on Russia where it has made various confrontations to regain its influence in the region. Russia continues to increase tensions by increasing the military capabilities of Kaliningrad Oblast, which is directly bordered by Poland. In response, the Polish government made efforts to modernize its military as part of the Defense White Book 2013 to improve its military capabilities in response to Russian military presence in Kaliningrad Oblast. The role of the global players (EU, NATO, and the USA) is key important to the security stability of the region. Poland on its four pillars specifically calls the alliance with the USA and becomes a member of NATO as an important factor in the formulation of its defense policy, in which Poland could increase the capabilities of its Armed Forces.

Resumen: La motivación y finalidad principal de este proyecto comprende dar más visibilidad a la figura del traductor o intérprete de guerra en zonas de conflicto armado, principalmente en el territorio de África del Norte y Asia Menor. Se trata de una figura no solo útil sino imprescindible en zonas lingüística y culturalmente dispares de la española, en este caso. Gracias al sustento de un trabajo empírico detallado, mediante entrevistas a intérpretes, cuestionarios a militares y encuestas a estudiantes de Traducción, se han analizado los distintos tipos de perfil según los requisitos de la misión, los cuales se analizan y comentan en este trabajo; así como la perspectiva de las Fuerzas Armadas Españolas en cuanto a la figura del intérprete y su relevancia en el contexto de mediación. También se tiene en cuenta la ética del intérprete y cómo esta se ve afectada por factores externos, pudiendo dar lugar a errores de interpretación que resultan negativos para la misión. Mediante todo este análisis, se busca recalcar la necesidad de invertir en una formación de calidad para los intérpretes de guerra, de establecer un sistema de reservas de intérpretes con experiencia dispuestos a acompañar a contingentes españoles al extranjero, y de ampliar el contenido de los códigos deontológicos para que estos sean más específicos y contemplen una mayor cantidad de situaciones y enfoques, con el fin de proporcionar al intérprete un apoyo institucional a la hora de resolver una situación sin verse desamparado. Por último, se realizan propuestas con el único fin de buscar mejoras en la situación de los estudiantes interesados en los perfiles de traductores e intérpretes de guerra de cara al futuro.Abstract: The motivation and aim behind this project is to give more visibility to the figure of the war translator or interpreter (T/I) in armed conflict zones, especially in Northern African territory and Middle Asia. The presence of the war T/I is not only useful but indispensable in areas linguistically and culturally distant from the Spanish one, in our case. We supported the entire project on a detailed empirical study comprising interviews to linguists, questionnaires to members of the military, and a survey conducted on Translation students; thanks to all of which we were able to clarify the diverse profiles of T/Is according to the requirements of the mission; as well as the perspective of the Armed Forces on the presence and relevance of T/Is in these peculiar contexts as mediators. We also considered the ethics of the T/I and how it can be influenced by external factors, thus resulting in misinterpretations with negative consequences for the mission. Through this entire analysis we wish to stress the need of investing in a good quality academic and professional training for war T/Is, as well as the establishment of an official pool of interpreters to travel with the Spanish contingent overseas, and finally, to broaden the content of codes of practice in order to comprise possible scenarios and give specific guidelines to interpreters in need of settling a situation without being distraught. Finally, we venture into several proposals addressed to those Translation students who may be interested in the figure of the war T/I in the future.

In modern national linguistics there is a set of works devoted to the description of language personalities of representatives of certain professions. However, in the last decades due to the increase of interest in the military sphere names of cadets, soldiers and officers are in the researchers’ attention centre. We also analyze names of objects of a material environment, it allows to conduct fully studying of language personality of the representative of the Armed Forces of Russian Federation as the ratio of motifs and ways of the nomination will allow to reveal features of the language personality of Russian personnel in mediated communication. We analyze the motivation features of the official names of the Russian military equipment and armor. We consider chrematonyms in terms of their belonging to humorous means of communication in military sphere. We prove application of humorous names by specifics of national character of the Russian personnel. Material of article is the corpus in the form of the glossary in the Internet and also results of the military personnel survey. The new empirical material introduction for scientific use allows to make objective and reliable conclusions on the nature of the humorous nomination in the sphere of military equipment and armor. Research material can be used both in military education, and in an elective course of onomastics in civil university.

The military had been concerned about military patriotic education for a long time when Putin's Patriotic Education Programme was published. As soon as the collapse of the Soviet Union occurred, followed a few years later by the creation of the Russian armed forces, they had already been developing patriotic education programmes aimed primarily at youth, aided by veterans of local wars, both volunteers and recruits. The aim of this article is to show that the military version of patriotic education aims openly to encourage military service, and that the Russian state will try to enlist veterans of the Afghanistan and Chechen wars in activities linked to military patriotic education and its spread in military and civilian spheres. Our hypothesis is that the determination to bring veterans together around a common project has two aims: (1) to federate veterans around the authorities and (2) to channel a population that escapes government control and some of whose excesses on their return to civilian life (violence towards the population in the context of their function, for veterans of the Interior Ministry in particular) have darkened the image of the ministries known as the “power” ministries.

The article is devoted to the problem, related to the personnel of the Galician military forces of WUPR formation in November and December of the year 1918. Being based on the rich historical data the conclusion has been made that on the territory of the WUPR during the first four months of its existence two general and a number of local partial mobilizations of male population were taken. It made possible for the Military Forces to be provided with human resources to a greater or lesser degree. The mobilization process as a complex of all necessary actions both in the center and periphery was not always well-organized, effective and well-planned, had certain differences in different districts, indicating a number of problems with readiness of men to defend the republic with arms as well as with their trining, equipment and use of recruits that was connected with state discipline violation, acute deficit of authority staff, improper work of the expected organs, their miscalculations and loss of control over the part of the Ukrainian territory, and the last but not the least the complexities of the state and military construction in the WUPR. With time and experience mobilizing structures that lacked professional training and responsibility fulfilled their tasks at the more or less satisfactory level resulting in the number of Military Forces of not less than 11-12 thousand members. At the same time negative phenomena connected with the work of state structures as to organization and conducting of the forced mobilization of men to the troops at the level: center – military region – military district – community. Lack of the patriotic learning of the adults also produced its negative effect. Avoiding mobilization, deserting military forces were a usual thing. Key words: WUPR, State secretary of military affairs, community commissar, mobilization, recruits, training, organizational problem.
