He delineates the process of Nekhludov building up identity and fundamental transformation of his conceptualization in various terms of multi­layered narratives. Tolstoy describes the panorama of long spiritual wandering caused by two different selves’ never­ending conflicts from the standpoint of lyrical aesthetics. Based on different criteria for literary purposefulness and aesthetics, critics bring about extremely opposite evaluations on this work. Despite of heated arguments, it seems to be very refreshing that Tolstoy’s creative attempt to put together ideas and aesthetics cohesively. On top of that, he tries to merge together literary themes and social reformative thoughts, and it is well established. \u0000In this masterpiece, Tolstoy strives to make elaborate analysis of Nekhludov. The fable of ‘Buridan’s donkey’ epitomizes his real characterization. This rhetoric properly symbolizes Nekhludov’s essential personality, which shows his indecisiveness not making final decision with self­autonomy between two equal values for his own destination. Looking forward to the following stage, Nekhludov still can not bring up strong confidence in his capability and authenticity. Tolstoy delineates ‘allegory of the river’, through which he figuratively suggests Nekhludove ultimately comes up with his true identity, exerting himself to fulfill his inborn values and gifted talents. \u0000In the process, Nekhludov lays out well articulated criticisms on absurdity of given circumstances and irrationality of administrative systems. During this process, he is criticized as a dreaming anarchist, but never distracted on his way to his purpose­driven journey, closely influenced by Henry Thoreau’s hypothesis ‘good soul’s prison’. He keeps on revealing permeated falsehood and hypocrisy in social system with his full swing effort and reformative will. In so doing, unconsciously he redeems himself with well­deserved sound belief in him, then, he achieves his resurrection with his own individual self­autonomy and willingness.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"5 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140410301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Czech complex predicates are composed of so-called ‘Verbe support(fr.)’ in the verbal part and predicative nouns in nominal part. This type of construction can be found inter-linguistically in many of languages, such as Czech, English and Korean that are typologically different. The study of the complex predicates lies in the question of ‘to what extent can the syntactic and semantic properties of multi-word units be deduced from the properties of their respective parts.’ This study examines the fundamental grammatical properties of Czech complex predicates, the lexical and semantic properties of the Verbe support as a functional category and the predicative nouns as a semantic core of the construction, based on their complex interaction in the frame of the constructions with light verbs.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"2004 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140416332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the main trends in Russian cinema over the past two years, the first thing to be noted is its relationship to contemporary Russian society and history. Many of the Russian films that received high praise at home and abroad, were selected for prestigious international film festivals, including Cannes and Rotterdam, and were presented at major Russian film festivals or won prizes. In this article, we will focus on Kirill Serebrennikov's The Wife of Chaikovsky, which was selected in competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022, The Bullfinch(2023), directed by Boris Hlebnikov, one of the most important auteurs of contemporary Russian cinema, which was the opening film of the 2023 Moscow International Film Festival, Fairy Tail(2022), which had its world premiere at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, by Alexander Sokurov, who is considered a master not only of contemporary Russian cinema but also of world cinema, and finally, The Camel's Wayh, by Vitaly Suslin, who is one of the most Russian filmmakers of his generation and has built a unique body of work based on a very Russian setting. The second major trend in contemporary Russian cinema that I will discuss is the emergence of Russian regional cinema. I will analyze the film Pardon(2023), directed by Ainur Askarov from Bashkortostan, Plague(2023), directed by Yakutian director Dmitry Davydov, one of the most highly regarded films by international critics, and Aita (2023), directed by Yakutian director Stepan Burnashev. Contemporary Russian cinema is characterized by diversity, locality, and the presence of female directors. In other words, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian cinema has achieved unprecedented diversity, and not only central filmmakers centered in Moscow and Petersburg, but also local filmmakers including Yakutia are actively producing works.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"23 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140409528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After independence in 1991, Croatia sets priorities to complete the identity of pure Croatian people, which is different from Serbian, and to recreate the Croatian language for this purpose. The core of Croatian language policy is generally described as ‘Croatian purism’. Croatian purism, led by only fighting spirit, is, in principle, to remove all elements that undermine Croatian purity. The ideology that extremely emphasized the purity of the Croatian people in Croatian history comes from Ustasia. The Croatian Independent State (Nezavista Država Hrvatska: NDH), which was a practical aspect of Ustasia, implements ‘language purism’ according to the principle of ‘blood and language’. The situation and development method of the two-lingual purism are very different, but in ‘Croatian purism’ unique to fighting spirit, some aspects of NDH's ‘blood and language’ ideology appear. This study studies NDH's linguistic purism based on Ustasia’s racial ideology and ‘Croatian purism’ based on the romantic nationalism of ‘one language = one territory’ from an ethnolingustic perspective.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"4 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140413769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In early 1984, after verifying the trip’s authenticity, the ROK government began to seek information about Kim Il Sung’s itinerary through its diplomatic missions. Despite domestic and international assessments that Kim Il Sung’s visit to the Soviet Union was a failure, the ROK government saw gains in the acquisition of modern weapons and the recognition of the hereditary succession. In East Germany, for example, a treaty of friendship along with an economic and scientific agreement was signed. However, only ceremonial and formal events took place in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Hungary with Yugoslavia and Romania simultaneously criticizing the United States and the Soviet Union, emphasizing the possibility of non-aligned countries. Kim Il Sung’s diplomatic trip intensified the ROK government’s sense of crisis regarding its northern policy. In 1984, the ROK government’s European relations were characterized by proxy diplomacy—sending delegations to Western Europe to try to strengthen ties with Eastern Europe and increasing cultural and sports exchanges with Eastern Europe. Eventually, coinciding with the international transformation of the Cold War system, all of the Eastern European communist countries that Kim Il Sung had traveled to participated in the Seoul Olympics and achieved high rankings.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140414797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All of these books reveal the erudition and wisdom of their authors, who were among the leading European nobles, clergy, and intellectuals of their time. Emperors and Empires of the East was so popular that German and French translations appeared within a year or two of its Hungarian first edition in 1906. Few writers of the time were as knowledgeable and experienced in traveling and writing about Korea and Japan, and he strived to write about them fairly and objectively, without prejudice or preconceptions. In this book, Vay appears to have had a positive vision for the future of Korea and its people. The book was so authoritative that it attracted the attention of the European upper class and intellectuals, and it can be assumed that it helped to shape their views of the Orient and Korea. When Emperors and Empires of the East was published in 1906, the publication of the book was announced in Hungarian newspapers and book reviews, and many favourable book reviews were published. His other book, In the Eastern Hemisphere, published in 1918, deals specifically with the Catholic situation in Korea at the time, and it is significant in the history of Korean Catholicism that the Benedictines’ decision to enter the Korean mission stemmed from Bishop Vay’s lecture on Korea at the Berlin Missionary Conference in 1905.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"38 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140414024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Starting from the original form of black and white with basic meaning in folksongs, I analyzed the symbolism that contains various expanded meanings. In other words, starting from the conceptual meaning of black and white, we looked for usage cases that spread to thematic, connotative, social, emotional, reflective, and collocational meanings, and classified the various semantic symbols expressed by color words. The classification method was divided into positive and negative meaning symbols depending on whether the color's meaning was positive or negative for the individual or society, and the expanded meaning belonging to each was presented and classified. I wanted to find out whether the black and white colors used in the folk songs of the two countries have common positive and negative meanings, and if specific meaning symbols appear for one people, what the reason is. The direct goal of the study was to understand the universal and general meaning symbols of color, but behind the scenes, it was expected that each nation would have individual and unique meaning symbols. As a result of the study, the original black and white colors were common to both ethnic groups, but the derived meanings had both similarities and differences. It can be inferred that cultural and environmental factors such as the religion, history, and living environment of the two peoples may have had an influence in the background.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140412397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Siberia is perceived as a place where shamanism originated. However, as Eliade’s theory of shamanism has been recognized as a representative research methodology, empirical research on the origin and specificity of Siberian shamanism has been stifled, and the concept of shamanism has become ambiguous, resulting in a distortion of the origin and nature of Siberian shamanism. The shamanism of Siberian ethnic minorities is a religious phenomenon that has become embedded in the archetypal structure of their emotions, psychology, and consciousness in the process of interacting with the surrounding natural environment and human and social environment, as a holistic way of life that includes rituals, rituals, myths, moral ethics, and ecological life philosophy, as well as artistic systems. During the Soviet period, shamanism and the traditions and customs of Siberian ethnic groups were increasingly usurped by social reform and Russification policies under atheistic socialism. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, writers from ethnic minorities who sought to see their culture through their own eyes, rather than relying on the findings of Western or Russian researchers, emerged and produced literature that expressed their traditional shamanic worldview. It can be said that conditions have been created for the study of Siberian shamanism to be illuminated by literature. This paper examines literary texts about the Siberian Ebenki people to explore the shamanic worldview and ecological ideas of this Siberian ethnic minority.","PeriodicalId":142621,"journal":{"name":"East European and Balkan Institute","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140415052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
