The Political Activity of Mazovian Dukes between the 13th and 15th Century

Author(s): Waldemar Graczyk / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2015

According to some historians, Mazovia once had a separate political existence, with a different form of economy, a social structure and customs that differedfrom those of the Crown, a separate dialect, and its own laws. One of theoutward expressions of its separate existence was its own dynasty. To defend its independence, Mazovia entered into feudal contracts with Bohemia and Kazimierz III the Great. Mazovian dukes also paid homage to Władysław Jagiełło, not only as an acknowledgment of dependence, but also of certain obligations the dukes took upon themselves. After the death of Władysław Jagiełło, a group of Lesser Poland lords proposed the candidature of Siemowit V as king of Poland, and Mazovia had a chance to play a more significant role in Polish politics. It should be stressed that while Siemowit IV still enjoyed popularity on the political scene, his sons, particularly after they divided their patrimony among themselves in 1434, very soon lost significance. The period of the greatest regional disintegration of Mazovia began and the province soon lost any political significance.

At present, urban spaces are not associated with the common use of horses. However, as history proves, they were also the arena of their extensive and multi-directional use. Silesia is not the exception here. Współcześnie przestrzenie miejskie nie są kojarzone z powszechnym użytkowaniem koni. Jednak, jak dowodzi historia, one również były areną ich rozległego i wielokierunkowego wykorzystania. Śląsk nie jest w tym przypadku wyjątkiem.

«This house is mine and mine it isn’t» — Tariverde Germans and their heritage

Author(s): Ilie Iulian Mitran / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2018

Tariverde and Cogealac, two rural settlements that are situated a few kilometers inward from lagoon area, both of them having an interesting history, marked by several dramatic shifts within their de-mographics, along with a post-1990 era which became synonymous with a general desire to mimic ur-ban comfort, which heavily distorted the architectural heritage left behind by past generations. A high-ly particular note which marked the development of these two settlements was the presence of Ger-man settlers, and Kashubians –only in Tariverde, that settled here in the 19th century, leaving a still-visible contribution to the place’s architectural landscape. Tariverde, named Dorotea in the past, has its most iconic building (Saint Peter and Paul Church) erected by the Lutheran Germans that settled about two centuries ago into the village. Nowadays, both Tariverde and Cogealac still preserved certain archi-tectural relics, but the way in which they present themselves today is rather different than in the past. Due to the semi and quasi-urbanization that occurred in both places, by this we specifically point that the settlements started to use various amenities that were usually found in urban centers. Besides the amenities, the newly-constructed homes were less caring of the way in which they were contrasting the already-existing structures, thus numerous oddities started to appear as a result of the uncontrolled manner in which the new was pushing for more territory in the detriment of the old. The current paper will analyze the manner in which the architectural landscape of both settlements had evolved over time, the novelties that become more present from the 1900s to the present, and the relics left behind by the German settlers.

Nuntași (Duingi) vernacular Village Church – Digital Reconstruction

Author(s): Ilie Iulian Mitran / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2018

Nuntași, formely known as Duingi, is a village located in the north-eastern corner of Constanța County, nearby the great lagoon area. Some of the settlement’s notable architectural heritage sites are comprised of a few slightly well preserved vernacular homes, and the old village church. The old village church, still in use until this day, is situated within the village’s central axis, which also encompasses a few other important buildings, such as the school, the kindergarten, the pharmacy, and the local cultural center. The building is representative for the old vernacular Christian architecture of Ottoman Dobruja, having a rectangular layout, no towers, and having low height. The church, as it is today, was subjected to a few interventions that sought to do some well-needed improvements.

Формирование российскими историками представлений о «крымской весне» 2014 года в учебных пособиях для общеобразовательных учреждений

Author(s): Ivan Vladimirovich Savitskiy / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2 (171)/2018

The article is the first special study of the issue of 2014 “Crimean Spring” events’ presentation as a practical problem of school pedagogics. The author analyses educational literature and discussions conducted by educators and historians on the ways of presenting the events of 2014 within school history lessons. The factual materials on the event in focus together with methodological support are demonstrated. The author came to a conclusion that historians specializing in the history of XVII–XVIII centuries prevail among the authors of schoolbooks written about the “Crimean Spring”. Among educators covering the topic are educators of patriotism and religious traditions inspired by traditional conservatism. The most challenging problems are the terminology, didactic materials, and the issue of the cause and effect relationships between the “Crimean Spring” and the anti-constitutional coup in Kiev. The authors are prone to underestimate the role of the local non-governmental organizations in the struggle for self-determination of the Crimea. As a result such approach creates an impression of the fight waged by the external forces for the possession of the peninsula.

Apariţia şi evoluţia târgușorului Păcurari

Author(s): Andrei Melinte / Language(s): Romanian Issue: X/2017

The emergence and the evolution of Moldavian boroughs in the second half of the 18th century represented an element of modernism for the Romanian society of that time especially if we consider both social and economic aspects. In this context, special attention is given to the boroughs that appeared near the large cities. In most cases, they had an economic role, connecting the centre and the newly formed outskirts that afterwards developed socially and economically. Such a case is represented by the Păcurari borough, which appeared in the western periphery of Iași. For the most part, its history is found in original documents which make the mission of discovering it both beautiful and difficult.

The stock of local acts, books and other documents produced in parishes of the diocese of Tarnów since 1992 to the Diocese of Rzeszów and located in the resources of the Diocese Archive in Tarnów is substantial. Metric books (baptized, married and deceased) cover the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Some of them refer only to the nineteenth century. Moreover, documents from the departments of the deacon and canonical visits allow us to draw up an account of the history of particular parishes and deanships over the centuries. They provide valuable source material for research not only in the history of the Church, dioceses, but also in other departments of science. They are also an indisputable proof of the religiousness of the Diocese and the work of the clergy among the faithful.

Often the description is long, more or less detailed or even tedious.

Author(s): Ecaterina Oprea / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2018

The interest in studying interethnic relationships hasappeared in Romanian interwar historiography simultaneously with the formation of a new state, Greater Romania,and the revival of revanchist tendencies in Europe after theWorld War I. The interwar historiography only indirectlystudies the interethnic relationships, that is why the authorpays attention to the ethnic minorities from the Romanianspace. Interwar researchers underlined the disadvantageoussituation, throughout history, of the Romanians from theprovinces that belonged to empires and other states – Transylvania, Bukovina, Bessarabia, Dobruja. The ethnic minorities from these provinces were quite numerous, enjoyed thesupport of the imperial administrations to the detrimentof the Romanian majority. The relationships between Romanians and minorities and between the ethnic minoritygroups themselves were formed depending on these privileges. The differences in social, economic, political positions between the ethnic groups caused dissatisfaction inthe society. The studies needed to demonstrate the fact thatthe Romanians had rights to the territories that were part ofRomania. Interwar researchers also studied the interethnicrelations between the Romanians and the groups of the ethnic majority from the Ukrainian and Balkan spaces

Author(s): Mečislav Borák / Language(s): Czech Issue: 03/2018

The political repression of the Great Terror cost the lives of three-quarters of a million innocent people, while hundreds of thousands of others were subject to prison or correctional labour camps. Among those executed were hundreds of Czechs, Czechoslovak citizens and inhabitants of the Czech lands. The largest mass execution of persons of Czech origin on the territory of the USSR took place on St. Wenceslas’ Day, 28 September, 1938 in Zhytomyr. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of those executions we are reprinting editorially revised selected chapters from the book Zatajené popravy (Secret Executions) by the late historian Mečislav Borák. The text is supplemented by archival documents acquired from archives in Ukraine.
