Cruelty towards animals is most openly discussed in opinion journalism which often condemns hunting and calls for respect for non‑human beings. This article examines the theme of hunting in opinion journalism of a Russian writer Viktor Astafyev. In his essays Astafyev emphasizes a fundamental difference between hunting as a necessity (for taiga residents hunting is a means of survival), and poaching. It is also worth noting that for Astafyev hunting is something that gives a sense of unity of man and nature. In the essay Осенью на вырубке (In the autumn on the logging, 1974) the protagonist and his friend embark on a hunt but soon he finds that trophies are of no value to him and do not provide satisfaction. The greatest pleasure is in the opportunity to commune with nature. In the essay Разговор со старым ружьeм ( Conversation with an old shotgun, 1997) Astafyev already at the outset describes hunting as “wandering with a shotgun” („таскаться с ружьeм”), which clearly defines his attitude to hunting. The writer introduces in the text many humorous parables that intensify ridiculousness of situations that the protagonist finds himself in. The purpose: the funnier and more absurdly the „hunter” looks, the nobler and wiser the nature is in the eyes of the reader.

This article is the second part of a study devoted to the rethoric and function of Adam Mickiewicz’s annotations to his poetic works – Konrad Wallenrod (1828) and Part III of Dziady (1832). These works evocatively connect history and current politics, and their annotations continue and further develop Mickiewicz’s strategies from his earlier poetic works. In the annotations to Konrad Wallenrod, the poet eruditely relates to the historical realities of the depicted world, strenghtening the credibility of the plot and displaying the authority of a refined historian. In the annotations to Part III of Dziady, Mickiewicz supplements literary fiction with accounts of a scholar, political expert, and witness familiar with the realities of the Russian state. Thus, he puts himself in the role of a story-teller commemorating his fellow countrymen’s plight, an analyst exposing the essence of the political system of the tsarist Russia, and a participant of historic events who emphasizes Poland’s historical rationale.

According to Saul Friedländer, kitsch has an aesthetic and an ethical dimension. The short essay Joe Alex and kitsch [Joe Alex i kicz] is an attempt at a description of the crime novels of Maciej Słomczyński as a peculiar representation of kitsch in both dimensions.

Svaki jezik mora u lingvistici imati svoje ime. Nazivi koji pišu u današnjim ustavima hrvatski jezik, srpski jezik, bosanski jezik nisu za lingvistiku prihvatljivi jer „sva tri imena trenutno označavaju jedno te isto, a budući da različita imena sugeriraju različitost, iz toga proizlaze problemi” (Raecke 1996: 22).
