The study examines the demythologization and remythologization of the Bulgarian-Russian and Bulgarian-Soviet relations in 1989–2019 in the context of the politics of history pursued in Bulgaria. It reveals the role of myths in politics of history for creating identities by maintaining certain interpretations in view of the new geopolitical orientation of the country after the end of the Cold War. The author analyzes the accumulated Bulgarian historical literature, which includes not only academic but also journalistic and parahistorical works. She points out the public reactions, fuelled by certain interpretations of some key moments of the Bulgarian-Russian and Bulgarian-Soviet relations. These are the character of the Russo- Turkish War of 1877/78, the role of Count Ignatiev and the character of the national holiday March 3, the Bulgarian-Soviet political and economic relations, and in particular – the Stalinist repressions, the occupation regime 1944–1947, the Soviet decisions of the debt crises of the 1960s and 1970s. It is concluded that after 1989 the demythologization of the Bulgarian-Soviet and Bulgarian-Russian relations took place as a moment in the development of the Bulgarian historical science. And to a large extent, the one-sidedness that turns this demythologization into a new remythologization is due to the use of new historical interpretations as an element of memory policy to overcome the communist past and “Sovietophilia”, as well as the politics of history to overcome “Russophilia”.

The present paper investigates the biographies of actors published in the periodical press of Greece and Greek communities abroad, from the independence of the nation state (1830) to the 1930’s. One of the main bibliographical and historiographical problems a researcher of the history of Greek Modern Theatre has to face is the insufficient –almost non-existent– information about the fleeting work of actors. The current research aims at contributing to the history of acting and finding answers to questions such as: how the profession of the actor in Greece and in Europe evolves during the 19th century and how this significant change is reflected in the Greek periodical press.

Historians have pondered the methods and means for the inclusion of a territory with various systems of social organization into the structure of the Russian Empire. In this regard, a special interest is represented by the study of the Russian Empire’s policy in relation to the Muslim religious elites of Central Asia. In the past, Muslim religious elites played a significant role in the public life of the people of Central Asia. The leading role in economic and religious life of the region was played by the ulama, whose highest layer was represented by “holy groups” or sacred lineages as descendants of the Prophet Muhammad or the first four Caliphs. Some “sacred lineages” fulfilled important religious and social duties in pre-Soviet Central Asian society (before 1917) and were held in very high esteem by everyone. Members of these lineages performed religious services at ritual celebrations, acted as healers, and helped settle disputes. Some were also the caretakers of Sufi shrines. The sacred lineages formed part of the Central Asian aristocracy called oq suyak (white bone) in contrast to the qoracha (black, common people). To understand the place of the religious elite, it is necessary to take into account that the ulama, most of whom were from “sacred lineages,” monopolized the possession of knowledge of Muslim laws, and of the resolution of legal and religious issues.

This article offers a close reading of personal memoirs about coming of age in Żółkiew in Eastern Galicia and about transitions on the way to immigration to Mandatory Palestine before WWII. It focuses on gaps in the fragmentary autobiographical texts written by Shimon Samet, a native of the town, who became an accomplished professional journalist in Israel, and reconstructs missing pieces of narrative about Samet’s brother and about the Zionist micro universe of transition and training sites in Galicia of the early 1920’s. It points to significant explanatory possibilities gained by identifying such gaps in personal and commemorative narratives.

During the long nineteenth century, Poland was divided among the Russian, Habsburg, and Prussian empires. The partition produced regional diversity in political culture and in institutional and economic development. We examine how the cultural legacies of the empires have influenced the propensity of Poles to cast a ballot in parliamentary elections since 1989. Polish National Election Study individual-level data are used to assess whether higher levels of electoral turnout in Galicia are indeed a legacy of the Habsburg rule. Our results confirm that, even after controlling for socio-demographic factors, there is a positive, substantive, and significant effect on turnout of living in the ex-Habsburg part of Poland. This effect can be explained by the frequency of religious service attendance and by ideology. Inhabitants of Galicia not only attend religious services more frequently and are more conservative than their counterparts in the rest of Poland, but also the more frequently they attend church and the closer to the radical right they place themselves, the more mobilized they are to vote. The impact of the legacies of the empires on political behavior in Poland seems persistent.

The article summarizes material on the training of Russian engineers and technicians in higher and vocational secondary educational institutions from the end of the XIX century to 1945. The development of the domestic higher and vocational secondary education can be considered as a single process having certain stages of development. During the Great Patriotic War, engineers and technicians taught in educational institutions, and engineers worked in the power industry whose professional becoming was connected with the pre-revolutionary period of Russian history, as well as numerous specialists trained in the pre-war years. This problem is relevant, its research potential has not been exhausted, but scientific publications are not enough nationwide. The authors come to the conclusion that in the late XIX and early XX century in Russia the basis for the quality training of power engineers was laid largely contributing to the development of the electrical power industry. The Soviet government since its very establishment, in connection with the implementation of plans of the State electrification of Russia and the industrialization of the country, paid great attention to the organization of personnel for power plants. However, the quality of training specialists was rather low due to the implementation of the forced model of economic development, which in its turn negatively affected the quality of energy enterprises organization. A forced model of training engineers and technicians was used in 1941— 1942 in relation to the growth of energy capacities necessary for the work of defense industry. Since 1943, despite the difficulties of wartime, the government took measures to arrange the work of universities and technical school, to establish the living conditions of teachers and students. As a result, in 1941—1945, educational institutions trained engineers and technicians who organized an uninterrupted supply of electricity to the defense industry and population, thereby making a significant contribution to the Victory.

The article reviews military missions of 16th border battalion during First World War. It starts in the 1916 in Dobrudja, then during the period 1916 –1917 conducts operations in Romania and in 1918 at Macedonian front. In two years, in campaigns and battles, the company traveled over 2000 km. There is no other border formation with such a long battle route. The various geographical conditions for conducting the combat operations, the different enemies and combat tasks require the battalion to use various tactical options, which is not typical for the regular military formations. A unique combat experience has been gained that hasn't been studied for more than 100 years.
