Turning to the works of Andersen and Perrault, amongst others, Schwartz transformed not only the original plots, but also the very fi gurative poetics of their works. A hypothesis is advanced on the infl uence on these poetics of the motifs and images of E. T. A. Hoffmann and German Romanticism in general. In part, such an infl uence became possible since the literary author’s fairy tale itself was formed largely thanks to German romanticism. However, it is also necessary to take into account the close creative interaction of Schwartz with the artistic association of the “Serapion brothers.” Special attention is paid to the poetics of urban topos in the fairy tales “Doll City”, “Adventures of Gogenstaufen”, and “Shadow”, where the romantic tradition inherent in such authors as Andersen, Hoffman, and Odoevsky is traced. Using the historical poetics method, the comparative historical method, and comparative analysis in the works of Schwartz, the principle of romantic duality is revealed: the interaction of shadow and light, the motif of illusion, and the style of phantasmagoria. The motif of vampirism in the literal and allegorical sense is also separately touched upon, with reference to the peculiarities of this motif in the poetics of Romanticism.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"4 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":"128473197","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}

The main features of the socialist movement in Bulgaria are highlighted and the penetration of socialist ideas into the socio-political environment of the country is presented. The attitude of the Bulgarian socialists to the national question and the issues of war and peace during the Balkan Wars and the First World War are considered. Bulgarian socialists are presented as consistent internationalists and pacifists who did not change their positions even under the influence of the outbreak of the First World War. The problem of the imitativeness of Bulgarian socialism is analyzed as an integral part of the issue of Russian or Western European influence upon Bulgaria. Despite the fact that Todorova does not deny the prevalence and cultural influence of the ideas of Russian populism in Bulgaria, she comes to the conclusion that both Western European and national historiography tend to exaggerate the Russian influence on the formation of the Bulgarian socialist tradition. Features of the two political generations identified by Todorova that operated in Bulgaria during the period under consideration are presented and the typical places of education of Bulgarian socialists are revealed. Analyzing a large volume of historical sources, the author uses the biographical method to acquaint readers with numerous socialists forgotten or bypassed by the national communist historiography. Considering the individual experience of socialists, Todorova demonstrates the various paths that led people to this political camp. Attention is paid to the women's socialist movement in Bulgaria and the history of women's participation in the social and political life of the country.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"288 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":"124154169","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}

Between its first removal from Hungary to Austria (1205) and its latest return there from USA (1978), the chief symbol of Hungarian statehood had spent some 135 years abroad, that is, roughly a sixth part of the whole period. The longest foreign stays took place in the sixteenth, twentieth and fifteenth centuries (1551–1608: 57 years in Vienna and Prague, 1945–78: 33 years in Austria, Germany and USA, 1440–63: 23 years in Austria). The longest journey was made after 1953, when it was transported from Germany to Fort Knox, Kentucky. Ten out of the eleven foreign stays concerned Austria and seven the city of Vienna, a clear indication of the extent to which the history of Hungary had been interlocked with that of Central Europe. On five occasions, the crown was taken abroad because of an acute danger of war (1241: Mongol Invasion, 1663 and 1683: Ottoman Conquest, 1703: War of Independence of Francis Rákóczi II, 1945: World War II).

The Greek population arrived in this region in the second half of the nineteenth century. The first settlers fled from the Ottoman Empire to Russia and historical memory of these events is still preserved. The Pontic funeral and memorial rites are structurally similar to the East Slavic and Greek ones. Some Pontic death-related lexemes are similar to Greek, while others differ (for example, the Pontic verb monázo ‘to keep vigil over a dead body’). A number of ritual elements (such as throwing flowers behind a funeral procession or distributing gifts at a funeral) were borrowed by the Pontians from their Eastern Slavic neighbours. Of particular interest is the use of objects associated with the deceased in magical rituals. One Pontic funeral tradition is the special way of decorating the funeral dish (kukía). The article also describes the changes in funeral rituals during the Soviet era, such as the increased role of ritual specialists and the custom of reading the Psalms for the deceased at home.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"115 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":"131834495","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}

A brief outline of the history of the village is given, and the main difficulties arising from conducting a remote survey are described. These include the rapid fatigue of informants, the active role of the \"guide\" in the process of conducting interviews, and the difficulties with conversations on topics that are related in some way to the organization of space in the village. After that, the phenomena of the traditional spiritual culture of Koljnof collected during the survey from the field of calendar and family rites, as well as folk mythology, are considered. Calendar rites are most fully represented here, with a number of important terms in the field of family rites and several epics in the field of folk mythology being recorded. In general, the remote survey, despite its limitations, is a viable method of preliminary study of the traditional folk spiritual culture of a particular village. The collected data show that the village of Kolnof is part of Northern Burgenland for a number of reasons. In addition, the collected material allows us to verify some fragments of the tradition of the nearby Koljnof Croatian village of Unda resulting from Hungarian influence, including the rounds of boys on St. Lucia’s Day and the rounds of girls on Trinity.","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":"130922885","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}

The lexeme is analyzed in the intralanguage aspect, when its semantics are analyzed against the background of the Slovak substantives chvíľa ‘minute’ and okamih ‘moment, instant’ – and in the interlanguage, its structural and semantic correlates are established in German and Hungarian, which are adjacent to Slovak and have been in contact with it for a long time within the common state. In the first part, based on the analysis of the indicators of the logDice association measure, the combinable properties of the nouns chvíľka, chvíľa, okamih are revealed. It is shown that chvíľka semantically occupies an intermediate position between chvíľa and okamih, it tends to designate situations with minimal internal tension and at the same time carries in its meaning this super-brevity, and also has a fairly strong connection with mental verbs. In addition, chvíľka is characterized by the designation of everyday time. Next are considered the structural and semantic correlates of chvíľka in German and Hungarian. The German language has a system of substantives similar to the Slovak with a common meaning of short duration, when the indicators of exact vs inexact time are consistently different, in parallel with which there is an opposition of an ultra-short vs non-ultra-short segment. In the Hungarian language, exact and inexact tenses differ within the framework of hyper-brevity, and accumulate in lexemes with the meaning of non-hyper-brevity. It is shown that in the German language the main semantic equivalent for the Slovak chvíľka is primarily Augenblick ‘moment, instant’, in case the over–brevity of the situation or the contrast of its change is emphasized, and Weile ‘a short period of time, a minute’ – in situations that do not involve radical changes. If the locutor is asked to wait, the German equivalent is the lexeme Moment ‘moment'. At the same time, the full German correlate for chvíľka, diminutive Weilchen, in the bulk of uses is translated into Slovak by the non-diminutive chvíľa. In Hungarian, chvíľka in interval use correlates with the lexemes pillanat ‘moment, instant’ and perc ‘minute’, when fixing a certain state – with perc, and in the framework of constructions with the meaning of preceding or following – with same temporal adverbs.","PeriodicalId":412661,"journal":{"name":"Slavic World in the Third Millennium","volume":"10 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":"131998252","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}
