"Свешената книга" в романовата структура на "Хайка за вълци" от Ивайло Петров - релации и трансформации

Author(s): Zapryan Kozludzhov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Ivailo Petrov's novel 'Wolf Hunt' is a dramatic saga with a story covering a long and contradictory period of Bulgarian history, from the first years after World War II to 1965. The fates of Ivan Shibilev, Mona Zhendo, Kalcho, Nikolin, Stoyan Kralev and their sons and daoughters intertwine and grow apart in passions and conflicts. This book is the story of people who are born during a totalitarian regime or die, frequently because of what they love. The hunt is the symbol of their thirst for revenge, the Old Testament 'an eye for an eye', with the outcome/redemption being presented as a pain of the soul caused by the loss of human happiness. The study discusses the presence of biblical motifs and images and the manner in which the author of the novel works with them. The moral categories through which each individual considers his/her life are skilfully woven in the book by the careful use of biblical symbols and messages. The characters in 'Wolf Hunt' fully experience the passions and sufferings of the Old Testament characters, thereby redeeming the original human sin.

(Ne)legitimni revizionizam: pravo i (pseudo)istoriografske revizije na zapadu i istoku

Author(s): Vladimir Petrovic / Language(s): Serbian / Publication Year: 0

The contribution is analyzing the legal aspects of historiographical revisionism, in an attempt to highlight the role of the courts in delineating between legitimate historical reevaluation of the past and the denial of essential historical facts, the latter being referred to as negationsim. The experience of Western countries in combating negationism through criminalisation of various forms of denial of mass crimes or through the civil litigation is juxtaposed to the confused postotalitarian dynamics in Eastern Europe and its anarchic reception in the region of the former Yugoslavia.

1917-2017: Уроки столетия для России и мира

Author(s): Konstantin Lobanov / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 12/2016

В сознании россиян 1917 год связывается, прежде всего, со столетием Февральской революции и последующими за ней октябрьскими событиями. И не случайно. Ведь тысяча девятьсот семнадцатый справедливо считается переломным моментом новейшей истории, после которого Россия и мир уже не могли быть прежними и начали развиваться по новой социальной траектории. Многие государства под влиянием идей русского революционизма и практики постреволюционной модернизации развернулись от дикого капитализма к социальной ориентированной экономике, отказались от авторитаризма и формальной демократии в пользу открытой и диверсифицированной системы власти и управления, перестали подавлять личность и предоставили людям больше прав для самореализации. Все это стало возможным благодаря глубокому осмыслению русского опыта, его творческой переработке в сферахэкономического моделирования, государственного строительства и социальных взаимоотношений. А что же россияне? Как у них обстоит дело с рефлексией? Иначе говоря, усвоили ли они собственный опыт, извлекли ли уроки из своего прошлого?

1943-2018: Sedamdeset pet godina ZAVNOBiH-a (Antifašističkog vijeća narodnog oslobođenja Bosne i Hercegovine ) i nenaučene lekcije

Author(s): Asim Mujkic / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 1/2018

Ovaj tekst nudi uglavnom kratak pregled izvora moderne bosanskohercegovačke državnosti koja se danas obilježava, barem na jednoj trećini njezina teritorija kao 25.11. – Dan državnosti. Ovaj praznik referira na prvo zasjedanje AVNOBiH-a koje se održalo u Mrkonjić Gradu na slobodnoj teritoriji 25.11.1943. Ovo zasjedanje se razumijeva kao utemeljujući revolucionarni događaj moderne bosanske države, a u isto vrijeme je, kako ću tvrditi, finalna faza u realizaciji ljevičarskog koncepta pluralne, multietničke republike nasuprot uobičajenom modelu monoetnički homogenizirane jedno-nacionalne države.

1943-2018: Seventy-five Years of ZAVNOBiH (The Anti- Fascist People’s Liberation Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Unlearned Lessons

Author(s): Asim Mujkic / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

This text intends to offer a rather brief review of the sources of modern Bosnian statehood that is celebrated, at least in one third of this country as Statehood Day – November 25. This Day refers actually to the First session of ZAVNOBiH (Session of Anti-Fascist People’s Liberation Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina) that was held in Mrkonjic Grad on free territory on November 25, 1943. This Session is perceived as the founding revolutionary event of modern Bosnian polity, and at the same time it was, as I will argue, the final phase in realization of Leftist concept of a plural, multiethnic Republic contrary to a common pattern of monoethnically homogenized one-nation-state. Furthermore, this concept is genuine and significantly different from typical communist but also from liberal federalist solutions. In fact, Communist federalist solutions for the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia failed with the collapse of communism, exactly because they strictly followed the structural model of one-nation-one-state. The Yugoslav, the Soviet and the Czechoslovak republics of their respective federations were indeed molded on one-ethnic-nation state model. Had Bosnia been internally federalized in 1940s, had Bosnia been reconstituted as some kind of union of its one-ethnic-nation-regions or entities, it would have had collapsed overnight just as communist federations did, as the framework changed from socialism to capitalism. The same would have happened had Bosnia, as a whole, been constituted as one-nation-state.

1945 IN CROATIA

Author(s): Zdenko Radelic / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

The author presents the basic contours of 1945, which was marked by the end of the war, the collapse of the Independent State of Croatia, the establishment of Federal State of Croatia as a component of Democratic Federal Yugoslavia and the seizure of authority by the Communist Party of Yugoslav (KPJ). After the end of a liberation and civil war, the KPJ took power into its hands and created the essential prerequisites for the federal reorganization of the Yugoslav state and the revolutionary change of society in compliance with its revolutionary and federalist ideas and through the application of experiences from the USSR. The emphasis is on the most important moves by the KPJ in the first year of its rule and the fate of the main anti-communist forces in Croatia.

V Prahe sa konalo zasadanie ÚV KSČ, na ktorom vyvrcholili rozpory medzi reformným a konzervatívnym krídlom vo vedení strany. Vedúci predstaviteľ konzervatívneho krídla, prvý tajomník ÚV KSČ A. Novotný odstúpil a na jeho miesto zvolili (5. januára) na návrh J. Lenárta slovenského reformného komunistického politika, dovtedajšieho prvého tajomníka ÚV KSS A. Dubčeka. Tejto „výmene stráží“ na čele KSČ predchádzali dve dôležité udalosti. Prvou z nich bol telefonický rozhovor, ktorý mal prvý tajomník ÚV KSČ a prezident ČSSR A. Novotný s generálnym tajomníkom ÚV KSSZ L. Brežnevom dňa 7. decembra 1967. Počas tohto rozhovoru Novotný požiadal Brežneva o návštevu Prahy. Cieľom pozvania bolo získať Brežnevovu podporu na pripravovanom plenárnom zasadaní ÚV KSČ, ktoré malo rozhodnúť o výsledku dlhšie trvajúceho zápasu vo vedení KSČ a o personálnych zmenách v niektorých najvyšších straníckych funkciách.
