U radu se temeljem arhivskih
izvora analizira obnova samostana i crkve sv. Marije u Zadru.
Samostan i crkva su tijekom
angloameričkog bombardiranja Zadra porušeni 1943./1944., a
ondašnje vlasti su ...1945. nisu
uspjele u svom naumu da svu imovinu i kompleks samostana sv.
Marije stave pod privremenu državnu
upravu. Od 1948. godine uz pomoć i inicijativu tadašnjeg
vodstva Jugoslavenske akademije
znanosti i umjetnosti započete su pripreme za obnovu. Crkva
sv. Marije je do 1959. uglavnom
obnovljena, ali samostan nije pa su 1960. sestre benediktinke
uputile molbu za obnovom. Obnovu
su priječile gradske vlasti pod izgovorom da je prema novom
urbanističkom planu na tom
mjestu planirana gradnja muzeja. Nakon godina pregovora s
gradskim i republičkim organima
dozvola za obnovu je ipak dobivena 1968. godine. Gradnja
obnove samostana trajala je do 1970.

Benedictine nunnery and church
of St Mary in Zadar were among the last historical and cultural monuments that
were renovated after the bombing of Zadar in the Second World War. Based on the
archival documents, the author analyses the renovation of the nunnery and church of St
Mary in Zadar. Immediately after the ending of the War, in 1945 new communist regime
did not succeed to expropriate all the possessions and nunnery of St Mary, and
putting them under provisional state management. Since 1948 the management of the Yugoslav
(Croatian) academy of sciences and arts started preparations for the renovation
of the nunnery and church, this renovation was completed by 1959, and mostly
financed by funds from the Academy. In 1960 Benedictine nuns wrote an appeal to the National Committee of the municipality of Zadar, but the answer was
negative since according to the urbanistic plan this location was prevised for the building of four new museums. Because of this, Benedictine nuns, together with
the Diocesan Ordinariate, represented by – at that time young – auxiliary
bishop Msgr Marijan Oblak, started long negotiations with municipal and republic authorities in
order to achieve a compromise solution regarding the renovation of the nunnery.
Unfortunately, negotiation with the municipal authorities was not successful,
so this question of the Benedictine nunnery renovation had to be further discussed
at the highest level between ecclesiastical institutions (Episcopal Conference and
Episcopate of the Social Federative Republic of Yugoslavia) and republic
institutions (Executive Council of the Socialistic Republic of Croatia). Moreover,
even the Vatican diplomacy, that is pope Paul VI, had to intervene to stimulate
these processes. After years of negotiations with municipal and republic
authorities, with constant intermediation of the Academy and its Institute in
Zadar, the situation regarding the renovation improved and the final agreement was
settled in 1965 (i.e., 1967). This agreement regarding the renovation of the
nunnery included the establishment of a permanent exhibition of the sacral art
within the monastery complex. Nuns returned to the renovated nunnery in 1970, that
is after 26 years of “exile”. Finally, the building of the museum for the
permanent exhibition of sacral art was finished in 1972, and the exhibition was opened for the public in 1976.
Dr. Viktor Ružić član je ugledne
riječke/sušačke hrvatske obitelji čiji su članovi pobornici pravaštva. Temelj
istraživanja je Ružićev tekst „Moje uspomene“ nastao 1968. koji doprinosi
stvaranju ...slike o njegovoj osobi i političkim događajima u kojima je uzeo
učešća. Njegovu mladost obilježava borba protiv mađarizacije, dolazak Frana
Supila, Riječka deklaracija 1905. i nastanak Hrvatsko-srpske koalicije. U
politiku se uključuje 1918. ulazeći u narodno vijeće Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba.
Tijekom talijanske okupacije Rijeke i Sušaka (1918.-1923./1924.) upozorava na
postupke iredentista te probleme pri uspostavi vlasti Kraljevstva SHS, osobito na uvođenje oblasti što je izazivalo sukobe između
hrvatskih političara i centralističkog režima u Beogradu. Važni su podatci o
izborima u Sušaku tijekom dvadesetih godina 20. stoljeća. Politički zenit dr.
Ružić doživljava tridesetih godina 20. stoljeća kada je obnašao dužnost bana
Banovine Savske i ministra pravde u vladi dr. Milana Stojadinovića. Nakon
vojnog poraza Kraljevine Jugoslavije 1941., tijekom talijanske
okupacije/aneksije dr. Ružić je interniran u Italiji, a u doba njemačke vojne
uprave od 1943. do 1945. sa skupinom građanskih političara pomaže stanovništvu,
ali se ne pridružuje antifašističkom pokretu na čelu s komunistima. Zato su
1945. protivnici višestranačkog sustava i pluralizma mišljenja „montiranim“
sudskim postupkom isključili dr. Ružića iz javnog života.
PhD. Viktor Ružić was a member of
distinguish Croatian family from Rijeka/Sušak who were supporters of The
Croatian Party of Rights. Fundament of research is Ružić’s text My memories he
wrote down in 1968 and which contributes to make picture upon his person, state
and legal events he participated. His adolescence was marked out by struggle
against “hungarisation”, arrival of Frano Supilo, The Rijeka Declaration in
1905 and emergence of The Croato-Serbian Coalition. He joined politics in 1918
becoming member of The National Council of Slovenians, Croats and Serbs. During
Italian occupation of Rijeka and Sušak (1918-1923/1924) he was warning upon acts of Italian irredenta and
problems of establishing administration of The Kingdom of SHS, particularly
implementation of districts that erased collision between Croatian politicians
and centralised regime in Belgrade. Notes about election in Sušak during third
decade of 20th century are important. PhD Ružić passed through his political
zenith during fourth decade of century when je hold governor’s position (ban) of The Banovina Savska and
minister of justice in government of PhD Milan Stojadinović. After military
defeat of The Kingdom of Yugoslavia 1941, during the Italian
occupation/annexion Ružić has been internmented in Italy and during German
military government 1943-1945 he was helping inhabitants of Sušak with group of
civil politicians, but he hadn’t joined anti fasict movement leaded by
communists. Therefore, opponents of polyparty system and pluralism of opinion
eliminated PhD Ružić from public life in a show trial 1945.

Chang Kia-ngau was a Chinese banker and a high rank official in the Nationalist Government before the end of World War II. During the latter part of the Sino-Japanese War (1943 to 1945), he had lived ...in US and served as a government sponsored researcher focusing on the problems of economies and reconstructions of China during the postwar period. In September 1945, he was assigned as the Chairman of the Economic Commission of the Northeast Headquarters of the Nationalist Government, which was one of the positions to negotiate with the Commander of the Soviet Red Army in Manchuria about the restoration of it from Russia to China. Supporting the Army of the Chinese Communist Party to gain controls of parts of Manchuria and expelling the US influence from it were the main strategic targets of the USSR during the early postwar period. Meanwhile, obstructing the entrance of the Nationalist Army into Manchuria deliberately and hoping to sign an agreement with Her about the Sino-Soviet Economic Cooperation in Manchur
Focusing on one of photography’s birthplaces, Paris and the Cliché of History tells the story of how photographs came to be imagined and deployed as documents of the past. It uncovers the changing ...conventions that drove the formation of public photo archives, the inclusion of photos on the pages of illustrated books, their place in historical exhibitions and public festivals, and the organization of amateur photo contests to document Paris. It explores how contemporaries looked at photos, new and old, through the lenses of war, occupation, urban renovation, and other traumas. From this point of view, Paris and the Cliché of History offers new versions of familiar stories about Haussmannization, the professionalization of history, the cultural effects of World War I, and the 1944 Liberation of Paris as well as the first in-depth accounts of the 1951 celebration of Paris’s birthday (the Bimillénaire de Paris) and the 100,000 photographs submitted to an ambitious effort to document the city for the future: the amateur photo contest “This was Paris in 1970.” It calls for historians to pull the curtain on using photographs as transparent windows onto the past and proposes a historical methodology that registers photographic production, circulation, and preservation as part and parcel of history itself. Ultimately the book presents a compelling argument for the importance of this history of photographs to the story of Paris since 1860 and to arguments about its reduction to a museum city, or merely an image, since the 1960s.
As World War II ended, few Americans in government or universities knew much about the Soviet Union. As David Engerman shows in this book, a network of scholars, soldiers, spies, and philanthropists ...created an enterprise known as Soviet Studies to fill in this dangerous gap in American knowledge. This group brought together some of the nation's best minds from the left, right, and center. And this broad network, Engerman argues, forever changed the relationship between the government and academe, connecting the two in ways that still matter today.
The neutrality pact between Japan and the Soviet Union, signed in April 1941, lapsed only nine months before its expiry date of April 1946 when the Soviet Union attacked Japan. Japan's neutrality had ...enabled Stalin to move Far Eastern forces to the German front where they contributed significantly to Soviet victories from Moscow to Berlin. Slavinsky suggests that Stalin's agreement with Churchill and Roosevelt to attack Japan after Germany's surrender allowed him to keep Japan in the war until he was ready to attack and thus avenge Russia's defeat in the war of 1904-1905. The Soviet Union's violation of the pact and the detention of Japanese prisoners for up to ten years after the end of the war created a sense of victimization in Japan to the extent that there is still no formal Peace Treaty between the two countries to this day.Slavinsky draws on recently opened Russian archival material to demonstrate that the Soviet Union was passing information about the Allies to Japan during the Second World War. He also persuasively argues that vengeance and the (re)acquistion of land were the primary motives for the attack on Japan. The book contains empirical data previously unavailable in English and will fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of Japan, the Soviet Union and the events of the Second World War.

"For Russians the Second World War was one of both national liberation and imperial expansion; it was also the dominant memory in the lives of three generations of Soviet citizens. Lovell's decision ...to take it as his starting point enables him to shine an innovative and penetrating light on many aspects of Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia often ignored in general studies. This is a very valuable book for those seeking to understand today's Russia." -Geoffrey Hosking, Emeritus Professor, University College London "An extremely sure-footed and gracefully written interpretation of the last sixty years of Soviet/Russian history. Lovell exhibits much razor-sharp wit and insight, although almost never at the expense of his subjects. He views Soviet leaders and ordinary citizens from the standpoint of a western observer, but also steps back to observe himself observing his subjects, a perspective all too rare in textbooks." -Lewis Siegelbaum, Michigan State University.
