There were many papers dedicated the sense of taste, and these discussed socialist-period tastes, culinary practices, and typical and non-typical menus at home and outside the home. The visual medium was approached using the contexts of fashion, interiors, and souvenir production, with or without an ideological aura. Discussions confi rmed the main thesis of the organisers that in ethnology the role of refl ection and personal experience is growing, and that obtaining analytic memoirs of those scholars who lived in the socialist period is also gaining importance, so that generations of younger scholars are provided with the context of the socialist epoch.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130206240","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}

Much more information contain reports of the Russian diplomat Vasily M. Tyapkin, who visited the burial of Kings Jan II Kazimierz and Michał Wiśniowiecki in Rzeczpospolita (1674, 1676). A unique example in Russian diplomatic practice of the age, these recordings expanded the ideas of the anatomical aspects of the funeral ritual, its public character, the use of state symbols, military paraphernalia, music, etc. Many of the things listed by the resident were used later in the Western-style funerals of Peter the Great’s associate Franz Lefort, in the “sad ceremonies” as a whole of the eighteenth and partly nineteenth centuries. This Moscow diplomat’s information also complements sources, in particular, on some aspects of the action with the heart of King Michał. The thoroughness of fi xing all the procedures suggests that Tyapkin used some ready-made sources of information, which really existed. Tyapkin’s reports, which were abundant in details, anticipated many innovations of Peter I and his followers, showed that Peter’s reforms of the funeral ritual could have a Polish-Lithuanian source.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115407309","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}

Various points of view have been expressed on this issue for a number of years. V. Ilić is recognised mainly as a romantic with some authors noting inherent features of classicism, aestheticism, and symbolism in his work (Dragiša Živković and Dragiša Vitošević), some noting a closeness to realism and a break with romanticism (Jovan Deretić), and others recognising and at the same time denying Ilic’s belonging to any of these trends (Milorad Pavić). The syntheticity of Ilic’s talent is also noted, although the question of its nature is not considered (Regina Friedrikhovna Doronina). In this article, the starting point is the romantic principle in Ilić’s poetry and, owing to the spirit of the times, the further gradual overcoming of his romantic aspirations. Rejecting the subjectivity of romanticism, the poet turns to the early experience of his father, the famous poet Jovan Ilić, that is, to the experience of “objective lyrics” of the 1820s–40s. The appeal to antiquity, to the cult of tangible beauty, the perfection of the art form brought V. Ilić closer to the Parnassians, which naturally led the Serbian poet to symbolism. At the same time, V. Ilić, in the spirit of the modern development of national literature, also turns to realism, including “folkloric”, to a critique of the social foundations of the surrounding reality, to the social landscape. However, in general, the landscape descriptive lyrics of V. Ilić, often perceived as a manifestation of realistic tendencies, mean at the same time a return to the ancient idyll, and thus the approach to poetry of the Parnassians, who were close to the static idyllic landscape. In the landscape poetry of V. Ilić, his highest creative achievement, a synthesis of subjective and objective principles, modernity and antiquity, national traditions and experience of modern Western European literature, is manifested.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115669848","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}

Dragomirov to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces in the South of Russia General Anton I. Denikin of December, 1919. The source covers the events of the Civil War in Ukraine and the views of the leadership of the White Movement in the South of Russia on a number of issues of policy and strategy in Ukraine. The letter was found in the Hoover Archives of Stanford University in the USA in the collection of Lieutenant General Pavel A. Kusonsky. The document refers to the period when the white armies of the South of Russia after the bright success of the summer-autumn “March on Moscow” in 1919 were stopped by the Red Army and were forced to retreat. On the pages of the letter, Dragomirov describes in detail the depressing picture of the collapse of the white camp in the South of Russia and talks about how to improve the situation. Dragomirov saw the reasons for the failure of the White Movement such as, first of all, the lack of regular troops, the weakness of the officers, the lack of discipline and, as a consequence, the looting and pogroms. In this regard, Dragomirov was particularly concerned about the issue of moral improvement of the army. Part of the letter is devoted to the issues of the civil administration in the territories occupied by the White Army. Dragomirov offers both rational and frankly utopian measures. However, the thoughts of one of the closest Denikin’s companions about the reasons what had happened are interesting for understanding the essence of the Civil War and the worldview of the leadership of the anti-Bolshevik Camp.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121848703","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}

Ulyanov served more than ten years in Poland. He was one of the most famous public figures of the Don Region in the mid-nineteenth century. Ulyanov was an officer of the headquarters of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich and was captured by the Poles during the November Uprising of 1830–1831. He wrote a number of manuscripts about Poland and made translations from Polish into Russian, most of them remained unpublished during his life. Among the most interesting materials, there are, in particular, his “Notes” about the Polish captivity, which were published by the famous Don Region historian Khariton I. Popov in the early twentieth century, in regional editions. Later they were forgotten. In the article, for the first time in historiography, an attempt was made to systematize Ivanov’s materials related to Poland. Both published and unpublished documents from the State Archive of the Rostov Region (GARO) have not yet been put into scholarly circulation. The author analyzes the circumstances of appearance of these materials, Ulyanov’s biography and his thoughts. The author concludes that Ulyanov’s work is interesting both as evidence of contemporaries, containing factual material about Poland in the years of 1830–1831, and as a cultural phenomenon as such. It is considered to be unique, because it is the first Polish-Russian translation made by a Don Region author. Also, it was an expression of a certain concept of Russian-Polish relations, formed under the influence of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich. This concept assumed friendship and cooperation between the two nations, but under the condition of the Russian domination over the Poles.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"44 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132064451","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}

Two weeks’ series of the reality show Prostřeno! (Laid Out! – original British version is Come Dine with Me) have been analysed, together with the related online discussions. TV media and the online environment make it possible for speakers to use the interactive texts, normally constructed as acts of private communication in public settings. The choice of communicative strategies still depends on the particular type of medium and the situational context which it creates. Participants in reality TVs who construct communicative acts in face-to-face interaction with others react to the social context established by the show: each contestant is highly motivated by his/her wishes to win, and therefore is making an effort to convince all participants of his/her positive face. Since the contestants might be threatened by the loss of face resulting from open confrontation they usually avoid direct attacks; they prefer slander, which is a part of the show and the act that the contestants are incited to carry out. The online discussions are a medium of anonymity which encourages interlocutors to evaluate and criticise openly. Since such an environment protects users from the potential loss of their own face, viewers of the reality TV use it to threaten the face of the contestants with gossip or harsh and rude vocabulary. The analysis of the corpus confirmed the hypothesis that if the interlocutors can communicate anonymously, their verbal aggressiveness increases.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131168915","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}
