This chapter turns to the critical watershed in Leontiev's life: his existential crisis on his sickbed in Salonika. Following his physical recovery and what he styled his “inner rebirth” and “violent ...conversion to personal Orthodoxy,” Konstantin Nikolaevich Leontiev spent a year in the Orthodox monastic community on Mount Athos seeking ordination as a monk. As he was aware, this was a particularly bad moment for a serving Russian diplomat to be there. This was because it was at the height of a passionate religious dispute between the Greeks and Bulgars, which meant that his presence on the Holy Mountain was bound to be interpreted by the former as Pan-Slavist intrigue. Indeed, it caused a furore in the Greek Press in Constantinople.
In his first travelogue titled Cestopis obsahující cestu do Horní Italie a odtud přes Tyrolsko a Baworsko, se zwláštním ohledem na slawjanské žiwly roku 1841 konanau a sepsanau od Jana Kollára, Ján ...Kollár describes his travel through Croatian regions and short sojourns in Zagreb, Karlovac and Rijeka. Using four dominant themes, namely, historicism, Pan-Slavism, the bourgeois elite and the Croatian folk, the author of the article analyzes the Croatian motifs in Ján Kollár's travelogue, and demonstrates that the Croatian episode functions in it as a separate thematic and stylistic piece and somewhat of an introduction to the principal part of the travelogue in which Kollár intends to collect evidence of the ancient Slavic settlement of Apenine peninsula and about the Slavic roots of Italian culture thus placing the Croatian reception of this work in the context of the influence of Kollár's ideas in ninteenth-century Croatia.
Thank you, our Stalin, for a happy childhood." "Thank you, dear Marshal Stalin, for our freedom, for our children's happiness, for life." Between the Russian Revolution and the Cold War, Soviet ...public culture was so dominated by the power of the state that slogans like these appeared routinely in newspapers, on posters, and in government proclamations. In this penetrating historical study, Jeffrey Brooks draws on years of research into the most influential and widely circulated Russian newspapers--including Pravda, Isvestiia, and the army paper Red Star --to explain the origins, the nature, and the effects of this unrelenting idealization of the state, the Communist Party, and the leader.Brooks shows how, beginning with Lenin, the Communists established a state monopoly of the media that absorbed literature, art, and science into a stylized and ritualistic public culture--a form of political performance that became its own reality and excluded other forms of public reflection. He presents and explains scores of self-congratulatory newspaper articles, including tales of Stalin's supposed achievements and virtue, accounts of the country's allegedly dynamic economy, and warnings about the decadence and cruelty of the capitalist West. Brooks pays particular attention to the role of the press in the reconstruction of the Soviet cultural system to meet the Nazi threat during World War II and in the transformation of national identity from its early revolutionary internationalism to the ideology of the Cold War. He concludes that the country's one-sided public discourse and the pervasive idea that citizens owed the leader gratitude for the "gifts" of goods and services led ultimately to the inability of late Soviet Communism to diagnose its own ills, prepare alternative policies, and adjust to new realities.The first historical work to explore the close relationship between language and the implementation of the Stalinist-Leninist program, Thank You, Comrade Stalin! is a compelling account of Soviet public culture as reflected through the country's press.
This article centres around the Czechoslovakian perception of holiday travel to
Yugoslavia in the 1920s with particular attention to the typology of Czech tourists. It has been
shown that travel to ...Yugoslavia was very popular among the middle classes who had enough
time and money. The wealthier classes preferred France. The main selling points travel agents
and hotel owners used to promote travel to Yugoslavia were affordability, service targeted to
Czechs and Pan-slavism. The idea of a mutual Slavonic tradition had been in existence since the
19th century. Evidence would seem to show that the most significant factor for repeat travel was
affordability. Conservative Czech tourists remained loyal guests of Yugoslavia during the 1920s
and 1930s.
Iako se periodni sustav elemenata (PSE) u Hrvatskoj predaje od 1888. godine, 20 godina od njegova otkrića te devet godina nakon početka redovite nastave kemije na zagrebačkom sveučilištu, standardnim ...je dijelom kemijske naobrazbe postao tek stotinu godina nakon otkrića. O Mendeljejevu se pretežno govorilo s panslavističkih pozicija, kao o "slavenskom Newtonu", što je više odmagalo nego pomagalo razumijevanju značenja i razvoja periodnog sustava.
