KLEINREESINK, ESMERALDA. "MILITARY AUTOBIOGRAPHIES: ENCOURAGE, DISCOURAGE OR IGNORE?" CONTEMPORARY MILITARY CHALLENGES, Volume 2019, issue 21/2 (June 12, 2019): 105–18. http://dx.doi.org/10.33179/10.33179/bsv.99.svi.11.cmc.21.2.5.
Full textAbstract:
Of every 6,000 soldiers deployed, one publishes an autobiographical book about their experiences shortly after the war. Military memoirs are therefore an inescapable consequence of deployments. How should defence organizations react to these soldier-authors: should they be encouraged, discouraged, or ignored? A substantiated answer to that question is given in this article by providing a profile of all writers of military Afghanistan memoirs from seven countries (the US, the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, Belgium and the Netherlands) and the kind of plots they write. A small majority write positive plots. The negative ones specifically deal with disillusionment about the care the defence organization or society at large provided, and experiences with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is interesting that it proves to be possible to predict whether a writer will write a positive or a negative plot based on the type of work they do and whether they still work for the defence organization. Military organizations interested in getting positive books published are advised to particularly encourage writing by individually deployed personnel who work in combat support positions and are on active service.

This article is intended to approximate arrangements for features characteristic writing of Prus, from the publication of monographs, which appeared in the last decade, after 2006, because they are not as well known as the earlier comments on writer’s idolect placed even in studies Bystroń or Bachórz. Notes on writing of Prus has been divided into several thematic areas: vocabulary topography (depicting the formation of landscape, the author’s preferred method of constructing space and filling it with specific object), color names (the world of colours, which enabled the writer to expose an entire palette of colour and shade names), floral vocabulary, used by the writer, war and military (this article contains an overview of the functions of military language within nomina militaria in the works of Bolesław Prus for example) and trade vocabulary.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Vegetius was regarded as the most authoritative writer on Roman military institutions in particular and upon war in general. His appeal was both historical and practical; his anti-mercenary fervour impressed Italian humanists in the fifteenth century,- his aphoristic wisdom was incorporated by Machiavelli into his own work and was, in turn, further disseminated by the many military writers who fell wider Machiavelli's spell. Nevertheless, Vegetius's reputation was increasingly under threat. The accumulation and publication of materials relating to modern warfare and to technologies unknown to the ancients was developing apace, and even writers who believed that classical military institutions remained relevant to modern warfare now had at their disposal a range of ancient authors largely unknown in the Middle Ages. Scholars were becoming simultaneously more aware of Vegetius's shortcomings and more sophisticated in their handling of historical sources. Yet, despite this, Vegetius enjoyed hisgreatest (though short-lived) triumph early in the seventeenth century when he was translated, paraphrased and illustrated by Johann von Wallhausen as an indispensable source forall practical military men.1

Full textAbstract:
Memory is one of the key concepts in A. Platonov’s creativity. The writer also implements the mnemonic function of literature in his military stories. The article analyzes representations of memory mechanisms in Platonic military prose in the context of the «memorial turn» of modern humanitarian knowledge. The article considers the possibility of applying to it the approaches developed in the «memorial studies» in relation to various forms and types of memory, the dynamics of the interaction of remembering and oblivion, individual and collective, communicative and cultural memory, ways of memorization. Memory appears as a meaningful and multi-valued cultural and psychological phenomenon expressing the anthropology of war. The range of manifestations of memory in the form of private and social experience, cultural and historical traditions is diverse. The writer's military prose can be seen as a metaphor for a battle, coupled with heroism and tragedy. Within the individual and in society, different layers of memory, memory and forgetting collide. The concept «consolation» is closely connected with memory. The stories also show the trials of memory. To express the mnemonic, the writer used the concepts «аnguish», «grief» and « suffering». Platonov’s arguments were built in two directions – from the point of view of the limited possibilities of the individual’s memory and in the aspect of the «eternal memory» that overcomes it. Mnemotopics of stories offers ways for salvation by memory in the form of communication between present and former generations, the living and the dead. The writer's perception of the memorial as an important factor of citizenship is significant.

Montesquieu and Roman Military Discipline: Opinions,Interpretations, and SourcesSummaryMontesquieu’s influence on the development of modern public lawis undisputed, but he also played a very important role in shaping theperception of the Roman art of war. Like Machiavelli, he devoted a considerable amount of attention to Roman disciplina militaris. His comments were quite general, but they exerted a substantial influence onthe opinions of scholars of military discipline. Along with Lipsius andMachiavelli, he was one of the most cited authors, and his perceptionof military discipline was even reflected in some of the arrangementsemployed in the French army under the First Republic. Research on thereception of Roman ideas on the art of war usually stops at the MiddleAges, but Montesquieu’s work as a writer and his impact on later scholarsare the best justification for studying his opinions on this issue.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to examine the employment of the military metaphor by the management thinker and writer Lyndall Urwick who in the twentieth century developed and articulated his ideas over a 60-year period, arguably the longest continuous period of any management writer of his day. Design/methodology/approach This study draws on published research into Urwick as well as upon the breadth of his published writings over a 60-year period. It offers a contextualised explanatory analysis of his military theory ideas and explores their lack of traction by reference to British military, economic and social history. Findings The study reveals the wartime context that surrounded the emergence of his ideas and motivated Urwick’s faith in the military approach to management. This stood in contrast to the countervailing forces of the post-war decline in British industry and a populist mythology of British Army mismanagement and failure in the Great War. Originality/value In this case of a management idea’s failure to gain traction, the importance of the congruence between management theory and societal beliefs emerges as crucial to the likely uptake of new management thinking.

Full textAbstract:
?The Belgrade Paper?, the organ of the Military General Government for Serbia, was issued from December 1915 to October 1918 and was the only periodical in occupied Serbia. After an initial hesitation, even some Serbian authors eventually accepted the cooperation with the journal, publishing their poetry and prose in it. Certain renowned names include Isidora Sekulic, Bora Stankovic, Milica Jankovic and Milorad Petrovic Seljancica. However, for the most part, its contributors came from the ranks of the so-called minor writers, and to some of them, the poems and short stories published in ?The Belgrade Paper? were the only works that they printed. Among them is also Hristina Petkovic, author of three short stories - Nina, Poverty and The Confession. An analysis of these stories can reveal that they essentially belong to the poetics of the so-called trivial literature, with pronouncedly amatory and partly social topics, especially focusing on the fate of the woman in collision with the patriarchal mentality. Owing to the archival materials from the Archive of Serbia and the Austrian State Archive, the paper demonstrates that the author is in fact the wife of Serbian poet Vladislav Petkovic Dis.

Full textAbstract:
Alejandra Basualto is a little studied yet significant Chilean prose writer and poet whose first short story collection, La mujer de yeso (1988), exemplifies the redefinition of the woman writer that occurred in many female- authored fiction texts published during the Pinochet regime. Exemplifying the aesthetic of censorship and silence characterizing her entire short story collection, analyses in this article of “La espera” and “1954” reveal how Basualto undermines the repressive hierarchies defining Chilean politics of the dictatorship era as well as the national literary establishment through what I call her aesthetic of silence and censorship. The art of censorship recalls the context of dictatorial repression Basualto confronts in this
 collection, while the aesthetic of silence points to the dialogue with international feminist thought perceptible in the compilation. In these two short stories, creative women protagonists challenge institutional power structures by assuming the feminized positions of vulnerability and silence. Basualto incorporates literary strategies like metaphors, mythical allusions, and ellipses to create an intricate textual dynamic representing repressive military tactics like censorship and disappearing dissidents. A story inscribed on a tortured and repressed female body longing to create, an extended metaphor for the Chilean nation and its writers, “La espera” showcases artists’ frustrated attempts to create during the regime while representing the psychological despair of Chileans suffering due to the “disappearance” of their loved ones. The focus on women and writing in “1954” depicts women authors’ need to identify female literary models and to imagine belonging to same-sex writers’ communities to succeed as authors despite the male-dominant literary establishment, traditional gender roles, and military and self-censorship.

Full textAbstract:
The Life of Alexander Nevskii is written in two styles: a hagiographic style and a secular style. Scholarly views are divided over whether the Life was written by one person in two different styles or by two persons, either a hagiographic writer and secular editor or a secular writer and hagiographic editor. The present article hypothesizes that the Life was probably written initially in a secular style as a military tale (the “wolf”) in the second half of the thirteenth century. This military tale was the foundational layer for the subsequent writing of the Life. Some time later, probably in the second half of the fourteenth century (before 1377), an ecclesiastical redactor edited the text of the military tale adding phrases in a hagiographic style (the “sheep’s clothing”), thus creating a chronicle tale about the life of Alexander Nevskii. In the second half of the fifteenth century, a further editing took place as anti-Tatar interpolations were added, thus creating the First Redaction of the Life of Alexander Nevskii. Following a text critical analysis, this article reconstructs the First Redaction of the Life, in which the two styles are delineated. Then the article provides a translation into English of the hypothetical version of the non-extant military tale about Alexander Nevskii.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe Romanian writer Nikolae Milescu (Nikolai Gavrilovich Spafarii) was the author of several books designed for the tsar and the Russian court in the 1670's. Working under the patronage of Tsar Aleksei's favorite, Artamon Matveev, Spafarii composed an account of exemplary monarchs from the past called Vasiliologion. He presented ancient and Biblical monarchs as just and wise but also as great conquerors and builders of cities, even when they were pagans. His portrait of Russian monarchs was closer to traditional Orthodox conceptions, but still stressed military victory and building. Spafarii was one of the first writers in Russia to introduce the Aristotelian political terms, monarchy and aristocracy.

Full textAbstract:
With few exceptions, African countries have suffered perennial bad governance, bloody civil wars, and coups-d’état. The continent suffocates in the grip of political elites and military juntas. Capitalism as an economic system empowers a few who lord it over the weak majority. The ruling class also contributes to the suffering of the masses by flagrantly looting the nation’s treasury and flaunting it while the majority of the populace wallow in abject poverty. African writers problematize and diagnose this scenario and the Weltschmerz bedevilling African socio-political life, in a bid to offering lasting solutions, in the process experimenting with ‘home-made’ as well as ‘imported’ ideologies in the struggle for the African utopia. Vincent Egbuson, a ‘new-generation’ African writer, is indubitably a committed writer. In confronting the African socio-political malady in Womandela, he has adopted divergent ideologies to sharpen his social vision. The purpose of this study is, accordingly, to scrutinize the ideological bent of Egbuson’s novel and to determine its efficacy against the backdrop of the socio-political reality of contemporary Africa.

Democratic development for more than 14 years was seen walking "back and forth", one reason is the slow process of the professionalism of the Indonesian National Army (TNI). In history, that the lack of military professionalism has resulted in the birth of military force against civilians, and military involvement in politics, it ultimately undermined democracy that aims to strengthen civil society. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the process of democratic development through the realization of military professionalism. The research method used was qualitative method through the use of primary data (observations and interviews) and secondary data (media and documents). Democratic development aims to generate social and political conditions better, one that supports that effort is the creation of military professionalism. But today, it is appeared several groups trying to restore military strength in practical politics. Based on the discussion, the writer concludes that efforts to build democracy in Indonesia met with resistance. This is due to the persistence of the effort to bring the military back into the world of practical politics.

The article is a review of the book by the famous Russian writer Zakhar Prilepin Some will not go to hell. Its plot is based on personal impressions that the author received during his stay in the ranks of the DPR militia for several years. The genre originality of the book is a combination of an obvious journalistic style of presentation of dramatic events and an original attempt to create a portrait of the leader of the Donetsk people’s Republic, Aleksandr Zakharchenko. Zakhar Prilepin was close to him, enjoyed his trust, often met with him and discussed not only the military situation around the Donbass region, but also the possible prospects for the region’s existence in the near future. The book contains many unexpected observations, exceptional details and information that turns it into a literary document of the time. In fact, the writer reveals a truly phantasmagoric picture of the semi-peaceful-semi-military existence of the inhabitants of the self-proclaimed Republic.

“The curiosity of the public about things medical is probably greater than on any other single subject—except perhaps sex.” This quote by Frank Gill Slaughter, M.D., is indicative of the foresight, intuitiveness, and intelligence of one of the medical profession's most prolific and successful surgeon writers. His primary genre was historical fiction, and he incorporated medical and surgical history into nearly all of his writings with a “surgeon-hero” consistently the lead character. Slaughter published 65 books between 1941 and 1987 and sold 75 million copies in 23 languages. Slaughter received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1930 and completed general surgery training at Jefferson Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1934. He moved to Jacksonville, Florida, in 1934, where he would remain for the rest of his life, excepting military service in World War II. He became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons in 1938 and was certified by the American Board of Surgery in 1940. Slaughter died in 2001 at the age of 93. This contribution examines the keen intellect and prolific authorship of this important and significant surgeon writer and medical novelist.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In Romans’ view, Caius Julius Caesar was not only a writer, a politician, a triumvir, but also a visionary, a general, a founder and a revolutionary of military art and politics. Through his wars, Caesar brought a new perspective as the creator of a true reform of political and military affairs. A brilliant mind, Caesar made of the military art a political platform, his political consecration being actually his military glory, the war with the Gauls. By inspired military manoeuvres and a well planned strategy, Caesar conquered the entire Gaul, a very large and resourceful territory. The conquest of Gaul gave Caesar the opportunity to conquer Rome, as the sole leader, with a new redoubtable political actor on his side, the army. Alea iacta est and the Rubicon was crossed by the founder of a new political and military power, the empire. The commander of the army, imperator, also becomes the political commander of the Republic, transformed by Caesar into an empire. By the civil war, Caesar accomplished the revolution of military and political affairs, changing the army from an institution of power into a political institution, a government partner of the supreme military leader who became Rome’s too, a fact carried out by his heir, Augustus. Caesar turned the war into a political affair, dominating his political and military opponents through ambition, consistency, intelligence, acumen, charisma, the qualities worthy of a world military leader.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the socio-political activities of the writer F. Kryukov and the evolution of his views. While working as a history and geography teacher, he sharply criticized and publicly evaluated the capabilities of the state education system. During the 1905 revolution, he was a Deputy of the 1st State Duma, the founder of the party of People's Socialism, and opposed the participation of the Cossacks in suppressing the revolution. During the Stolypin reaction, he published his stories about the Cossacks in the neonational magazine “Russian Wealthˮ and was criticized by V. I. Lenin. During the First world war, Kryukov acted as a supporter of “war to the bitter endˮ and became a supporter of conservative political views. After February, he re-entered political life. In April 1917, he was a delegate to the Military Congress in Novocherkassk and a candidate for the Constituent Assembly from the Don Army. Kryukov did not accept the October revolution and the idea of social equality and categorically condemned it. He became a Deputy and Secretary of the Military Circle and editor of the newspaper “Don Statementsˮ, where he published more than 30 articles and essays about the White Movement and the Cossacks. His journalism of the period demonstrated the ultra-pedigree position of the representative of the vendean part of the Cossacks. Kryukov became a counterrevolutionary, abandoning the people's socialist ideals. This transformation of worldview values was logical, since it was based on the Cossack self-consciousness and self-perception laid down from childhood and youth. At every stage of evolution as a politician, Kryukov was a prominent figure in public life, which makes him one of the most prominent figures of the Don land.

Archibald McLean qualified in Sydney in 1910 and in the following year joined Douglas Mawson’s Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–1914). He took a full part in the expedition and was forced to stay an extra year when Mawson failed to return to the base before the ship left. During this time he edited the expedition newspaper, The Adelie Blizzard. His writing impressed Mawson who invited him to work on the book about the expedition. This necessitated visiting England to liaise with publishers and promote the book. He was in England when the First World War broke out and he was commissioned in the RAMC and sent to France. He was invalided out of the army in 1916 and returned to Australia where he obtained his MD for his research in the Antarctic. Then he joined the Australian Army Medical Corps and returned to France where he won the Military Cross and he also suffered gassing. During the war, he developed TB and was unwell when he returned to Australia.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to the similarities and differences of the American writer Joseph Heller’s novel “Catch-22” and prominent Uzbek writer Shukhrat (Gulom Aminov)’s novel “Shinelli yillar”. While comparing these two novels, we can see some similar war actions at the same time it is clearly evident the differences between works. As a member of the Beat Generation and the post-World War II era, Heller developed a very satirical approach towards institutions, particularly the national government and the military. He was deeply cynical of war, which was best exemplified by the "black humor" of Catch-22, and he explored the difficulties of Jewish experience in postwar America. However, Shukhrat’s involment in the Second World War, seeing the ruined cities and villages, defeat and victory, prompted him to record a great novel by “Shinelli Yillar” in 1958.

Full textAbstract:
Good generalship requires imagination in the sense of foreseeing what the probable moves of the enemy may be; good military historiography requires not only imagination but the actual study of the documentary sources on each side. It is well known that military, like diplomatic history, is too often presented only from one point of view. A certain bias is unavoidable when the author is familiar with the movements of an army on one side of the hill but can only guess at those of the enemy on the other; an accurate picture of any war, campaign, or battle cannot be presented by a writer who is limited to the records, official and unofficial, available at one G.H.Q., but has nothing more than the conjectures of Intelligence as to what went on at the other.

Full textAbstract:
Quite aside from its historical significance as one of the first prairie-generated series to reach national radio and as the definitive work that launched Gowan's career as a radio writer, Gowan's Building of Canada series (1937-38) raises a number of important questions about defining historicity within the context of historical dramatic writing. Where Merrill Denison, an often progressive writer of contemporary stage plays, chooses to celebrate the conventional values of male pioneer adventure, empire-building, war and military glory within the context of his seminal historical radio series, The Romance of Canada (1931), Gowan's Building represents a more complex attempt to reconcile her vision as a trained historian, concerned with the objective chronicling and analysis of the male-dominated world of wars, economy, politics and public life, with her vision as a social activist playwright committed to interpreting the human world through the focus of her socialistic, pacifistic and feminist convictions.

The article demonstrates the fact that the duality of human consciousness is connected by mutual projections with the topography of the Georgian Military Road and the model of the universe and also forms the system of narrators / characters and the structure of the novel as a whole, including the number of stories and the partition of the novel into two parts. The sources used by the writer in the formation of the narrative structure of the novel are reconstructed. The numerological code of the novel is considered, the language bases of the conceptual system are analyzed. The embeddedness in the conceptual system of the trinomial name of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov is demonstrated. The vertical and horizontal spatial orientation of the Georgian Military Road allows discovering the topographic connection of the road with the dual reality of Lermontov, in which the opposite poles of good and evil, divine and evil turn into one.

The Sulu Sea, one of Indonesia's seas located in the strategic area of ALKI II (Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lane), directly borders Malaysia and the Philippines. As a busy trade route, the sea is also vulnerable to threats such as maritime piracy. This research aims to see Indonesia's maritime security strategy in the Sulu Sea over maritime piracy cases in the area during 2016. In this research, the writer uses the Maritime Security concept proposed by Chris Rahman to explain Indonesia's maritime security strategy in the Sulu Sea. The author using three variables, including (1) security of the sea itself: conservation and protection; (2) ocean governance; (3) maritime border protection; (4) military activities at sea, and (5) security regulation of the transport marine system in their correlation with each other. The author then concludes that out of five variables, only two are suitable and effective for implementing piracies in the Sulu Sea, namely maritime border protection and military activities at sea.

AbstractEquestrian ballet was a spectacular genre of musical theater popular in the Baroque court. A phenomenon with military roots, the ballet communicated both the might and grace of its organizers, who often played starring roles. This essay explores the ballet’s centrality by tracing the itinerant opera singer and writer Margherita Costa’s use of the genre as a means of securing elite patronage: from an elegant manuscript libretto presented to Grand Duke Ferdinando II de’ Medici and later revised in print for Cardinal Jules Mazarin in Paris, to occasional poetry written for the Barberini in Rome, and even burlesque caricatures.

In the article the author studies the identity that was referred to by the name rus’ in the earliest chronicles of Kievan Rus’. The analysis is based on the ideas and reconstructions of Alexei A. Shakhmatov, who proved that the famous Tale of Bygone Years (1100s) had included some earlier chronicle or annalistic texts composed in the 11th century. According to Shakhmatov, the Tale originated from the so-called “Initial Composition” written in Kiev in the 1090s. The author shows that the writer or writers of the “Composition” placed Rus’ in the world history according to the eschatological schemes of Byzantine chronicles. They understood Rus’ as a Christian people and as a powerful state, and tried to “expand” its identity over local communities. The earlier texts, which can be dated back to the mid-11th century, considered Rus’ in a different way: their authors’ efforts were to specify its identity in relation to other ethnic or political groups, stressing its military victories and ignoring religious boundaries. The author of the article concludes that the intellectuals of Kievan Rus’ were able to propose a variety of distinct “strategies of identification” and “ethnic projects”.

Full textAbstract:
Mishima Yukio's dramatic suicide half a century ago ensured that his name would forever be associated with a certain fanatic imperialism, and largely fulfilled his own wish that he would die as a military man. And yet, he was until the end foremost a literary artist, concerned with the critical reception of his written works and preoccupied with his lasting reputation as an author. This paper examines Mishima’s portrayal of the celebrity writer, as well as the potentials and limitations of literature as presented in his oft-neglected modern noh play Genji kuyō (Devotional offering for Genji, 1962). It positions the play within the long history of prayers for Genji monogatari (The Tale of Genji, ca. 1008) that began in the twelfth century in response to the perceived ambiguous morality of the author Murasaki Shikibu (d. ca. 1014). Mishima's Genji kuyō provides a pointed criticism of readers, as well as anxieties regarding a writer's life and literary recognition. Though Mishima himself famously disowned it after its initial publication, Genji kuyō offers critical insights regarding the writing and reading of literature.

Viktor Astafyev was an outstanding Russian writer and a representative of ”village prose”. In his oeuvre, along with works on the question of “man and nature”, we may find numerous important works concerning the subject of war. Astafyev fought in WWII, which left him with some unhealed wounds. In his novels about this 'Great Patriotic War', the dominating pacifist humanism triggered the first depiction of German soldiers through the prism of Christian mercy in Russian literature. The attempt to analyze the novel The Cursed and the Slain is very relevant in light of our present reality, full of news of new military conflicts, including that in eastern Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
Terminological stylistics is one of the most relevant areas of linguistics in the 21st century. The subject of the study, according to A. Kryzhanovska, is “using multidisciplinary terminology in its definitive sense, the author’s creating the necessary and special words on models of the real terms, introducing redefined terminology in the arsenal of artistic means.” In modern Ukrainian linguistics, as you know, there are no comprehensive studies on using the terms in styles unusual for them, including the belles-lettres. Today, in Ukrainian terminology, there are only a small number of works that deal exclusively with some aspects of the functioning of special words in journalistic and belles-lettres styles that are specific to this type of vocabulary. The article continues the cycle of publications in the field of studying the specific functioning of military terminology in the writings of the writers from different countries of the world. The investigation is aimed at studying the peculiarities of the structural-component organisation of the military terms in the language of the work by W. Scott “Ivanhoe”, in particular, the word terms and phrase terms have been analysed. The authors of the study present the main problematic ideas existing at the present stage in the circle of narrow specialists, which are terminology. The relevance of the paper, first of all, is due to the lack of comprehensive studies on the peculiarities of using the military terms in the works by Walter Scott and the need for linguistic analysis of the texts, in particular the novel “Ivanhoe”, which is a pearl of world literature. The paper gives the main thoughts on defining the concepts “word term”, “phrase term”. The authors’ classification of the military terms which Walter Scott successfully introduced in his fiction work is represented on the basis of the generally accepted in modern Ukrainian linguistics. The military terms of the above mentioned work are analysed, and the specifics of their use is defined, their structural-component organisation in the prose work of the prominent writer Walter Scott is determined. The investigators in their article define the main characteristics of the military terms that function in the analysed fiction work, present these units determine their grammatical categories and structure. The word term and phrase terms, which include military terms, which are introduced into the language of the text by the author, are investigated. The function of this vocabulary taking into account the subject area, the ideological content, the purpose of the work, the creative idea of the author is determined. The quantitative characteristics of the military terminological units of Walter Scott’s novel “Ivanhoe” have confirmed the opinion of most linguists regarding the benefits of the multi-component terms over the word terms. This phenomenon is due to the fact that such units, which have a large number of components, allow describing in more detail, describing the concept of a particular industry, in particular military affairs. Introducing such multicomponent terms is absolutely justified in fiction texts, because the author must take into account the fact that the reader of his work may not only be a person who has special military training, but also be a representative of another profession, or the reader does not have any specialty, education, etc. This can complicate the reader’s understanding of the work, so the true artist takes on such multicomponent terms in his text to create the most vivid and understandable image.

Full textAbstract:
The works of F. M. Dostoevsky, representing one of the peaks of Russian and world literature, consistently attracts attention not only of literary critics, but also a range of specialists from other subjects in humanities. It appears that it may in no small way be explained by the fact that Dostoevsky was not only a writer, but also a thinker. Moreover, it is possible that as a thinker Dostoevsky exerted and continues to exert even more influence than as a writer, despite the conventions of such division. Dostoevsky's artistic and ideological synthesis and evolution reflected an epoch characterized by a combination of traditional and modernized principles. It is important to reconstruct the logic of Dostoevsky's ideological and worldview evolution, and to consider this issue in terms of the philosophical and worldview reference frame. A crucial link in the worldview`s evolution of Dostoevsky came to be a transition from early to mature writings, developed during Siberian period, i.e. serving his sentence in prison, in exile, and military service under the verdict of the court in the case of Mikhail Butashevich-Petrashevsky. This very period is chosen by the author as a subject of the paper`s research.

Full textAbstract:
The confrontation between the writer Leo Tolstoy and the priest John of Kronstadt was not just a conflict of two personalities, even if they were outstanding. It was a struggle between two worldviews, two concepts of perception of history and religion, and, finally, the place of historical Russia in the life of all mankind. L.N. Tolstoy was in many respects the ideological leader of the part of intelligentsia that was looking for a way to rebuild society and change personality by way of abandoning old traditions and institutions, in the new understanding of Christianity, in tough opposition to the everything bureaucratic, police, military, in search of an ideal man freed from the usual social order. John of Kronstadt led the way for as if another Russia – one that sought to follow the path already known in Christianity as the way through humility and repentance, and saw a spiritual rebirth of society and nation in following the traditions of Orthodoxy and autocracy. The dispute between an outstanding preacher and a great writer was not purely religious or even religious-philosophical. It was also a political clash: the struggle for the minds, for the souls, for history.

RETRACTEDIn this article the writer analyses the development peculiarities of the Tajik-Russian geopolitical relations during the establishment of Tajikistan foreign policy up to the commencement of multi-vector «open doors» policy in 2003-2004. Since the establishment of peace and stability in Tajikistan beginning from the year of 2000 the socio-economic development issues have been set as prior actions. To boost the economy, attraction of foreign investments, creation of new jobs and improvement of life standard of population were the issues to address. Political leaders of Tajikistan had no right to waste time making no headway. The country inevitably faced the issue of diversification of interstate and foreign economic relations, including outside the CIS. The article highlights that the foreign «open door» policy declared at the turn of2002-2003 implied mandatory modernization of the Tajik-Russian cooperation through strengthening its economic and human dimensions, adjusting the strategic partnership and alliance between the two states to the new global political realities. As to the geopolitical and military-political priorities, which Tajikistan had firmly adhered throughout the entire 1990th since its Independence, they actually remained unchanged even after 2002. The author points out the long-term Russian presence in the form of a large scale military base and military infrastructure on the territory of Tajikistan. The Republic is one of the most consistent, active and disciplined members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. During the first decade of the XXI century the political leaders of Tajikistan had been receiving offers from foreign non CIS countries with regard to deployment of military facilities on a fee basis on the territory of Tajikistan which were not even considered by the Government. Thus, the multi-vector foreign policy of «open doors» has been reflected in diversification of the international relations of Tajikistan, in demonopolization of trade and economic priorities, in attraction of foreign investments and military-technical assistance from the third countries (other than CIS and CSTO countries) but completely preserving the geopolitical and military-political priorities established until 2002.

Full textAbstract:
The early 1960s marked a period of intellectual and literary ferment in Taiwan. The East-West Controversy, which had its roots in the debate that took place in the middle of the last century regarding the continued validity of the Chinese tradition in the face of western military and economic superiority and in the controversy regarding westernization as the road to modernization in the 1930s, had broken out afresh. Creative writers, musicians and painters were experimenting with new forms and new techniques. As early as 1954 the writers of modern Chinese poetry had started the search for a more contemporary expression of their art form; and modern poetry societies, each with its own philosophy on how modernization should take place, had come into being. Writers of fiction who up till then had been almost exclusively concerned with the Sino-Japanese War; the mainland before the communist takeover in 1949, or the various aspects of the struggle against communism, were moving away from this kind of “propaganda-motivated writing” towards the production of “pure literature.” However, there were few modern Chinese creative writers of stature on whom either the poet or fiction writer could model himself. This was because of the ban imposed by the government in Taiwan on the works of writers prior to 1949 due to the association of many of them with communism or with ideologies unacceptable to the authorities. This meant that they had to seek for inspiration in the works of western writers which could be found in translation or in pirated versions of the original texts in the major cities of Taiwan. The traditionalists viewed this growing trend with alarm as did those writers who were closely associated with the Kuomintang. The latter had formed themselves during the early 1950s into three writers' associations, the China Association of Literature and Art, the Chinese Youth Writers' Association, and the Taiwan Women Writers' Association.

It aimed at showing that the myriads of challenges of the Nigerian socio-political enclave have not escaped the creative consciousness of the emergent African (Nigerian) writer and critic. It was discovered that the text under study carefully mirrored the present society from the Marxist viewpoint, highlighting attendant problems such as marginalization among the rank and file of the military, poverty, corruption, unemployment, insecurity and leadership ineptitude. In the light of these potent issues presented, the paper sought to educate and appeal to the masses’ conscience to perceive revolution as an alternative means, towards the total restoration of change in human society.

The Argentine history of the last quarter of century has been influenced by the conditions of fact established by the information that accompany the process inaugurated by the Military Meeting in March, 1976. All of us share in our biography this experience: we were influenced, in any way, by his consequences. Furthermore, we might assure that the national identity recognizes this milestone as variable of our biography’s configuration. The statement of our life registers in or from the same one. Some prominent people, figures, and some groups recognize a particular value in their statements. They constitute recollections, they recover ideals and valorize themselves in certain system of values and of beliefs. Nevertheless, for those that must recover his biography from the absence, the plot becomes more complex: the value that for all it represents does not manage to re-put the sense to the silence, to the absence, to the disappearance. Andrés Cuervo’s El retrato postergado weaves with cuts and voices that serve to the recovery of this another statement, which returns the familiar image of Haroldo Conti, father, friend, writer, scriptwriter; already not politician, already not militant, already not banner of all, but experience of few ones.

Full textAbstract:
Kelly Devries in “Catapults are not atomic bombs”—and in fact, of almost all of those who have joined the fray to, once and for all, kill off simplistic technological determinism—may have thrown out the baby with the bathwater. One aspect linking most of these anti-determinists is their temporal focus which is almost exclusively on pre-industrial revolutions in military technology. Furthermore, their views of the importance (or more accurately, the lack thereof) of technology in war is one that has ceased to apply to the world since the mid-nineteenth century. Technological determinism is not a disease of bad historical writing, but something that must be carefully applied in studying the technological systems of armed forces, regardless of time periods or geographic locations. We need to apply a definition of determinacy related to the systems theory that French writer Jacques Ellul proposed in The Technological Society. Here examples of military systems since the Industrial Revolution are covered and then this systems approach is applied to the pre-modern period. The approach moves us away from the radical assumptions of earlier determinists to show that technology is determinant, but only one of the many determinant factors that influence battles, campaigns, and wars. The study of military technology is central to any study of war, and we must not be afraid to move beyond a merely descriptive approach that appears to be promoted by the anti-determinists.

Full textAbstract:
The present article deals with the comparative analysis of the methodological bases of depicting the authenticity, features, and character of ideological-thematic reflection of the Second World War events on the pages of the novel by Russian writer Vasily Grossman (1905-1964) «Life and Fate» (1960), the masterpiece by the American novelist James Jones (1921-1977) «From here to eternity» (1953) and the work by the Hungarian novelist Imre Kertész (1929-2016) «Fatelessness» (1975). The novels' authors did not need to interpret historical events by other people's memories and strive for a documentary. The original document in the novels was the life and unique memory of the writers themselves, and not only in the sense of the artistic reproduction of the true sides of the survived and seen, but also in terms of serious thoughts about the relationship of the past with the present in their moral, social, philosophical and ethical aspects. The article highlights the events and circumstances that predetermined the formation of features of the writers' worldview and led to the writing of the novels on military topics. The novels «Life and Fate», «Fatelessness», and «From here to eternity» can be considered as deeply personal works by the writers who have not declared, magnified the events of the history in context, but through the image system of the novels deeply examined, analyzed their roots. The authors of the novels have shown the history of the 20th century not on the background of exaggerated, politically agitating, heroic pictures, but from the point of view of the true significance of historical events for modern society. Keywords: documentary, historical memory, regime, literary tradition, writer’s consciousness, historical concreteness.

The article explores the Caucasian theme in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s fi ction and non-fi ction writings. The paper is based on a set of biographical, historical-cultural and historical-literary sources of the writer’s knowledge of the Caucasus. The article shows Fyodor Dostoevsky’s works were marginally affected by the information on the Caucasus and on the Caucasian wars the writer has at his disposal. The writer referred to characters’ military service in the Caucasus several times in his fi ction works, however, such detail never had infl uence on their development. In Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novels, the Caucasus is a stable topos of romantic literature but it often has pejorative overtones. The present study shows a paradoxical discrepancy between the volume of the writer’s knowledge about the Caucasus and the prominence of the Caucasian theme in his works. To further understand this discrepancy, it is important to consider the theme of the Caucasus in the context of the writer’s geopolitical views. Fyodor Dostoevsky appears to have little interest in the ethnocultural features of what he saw as a peripheral region of the Russian Empire. In Fyodor Dostoevsky’s world-view, the Caucasus had no symbolic capital and therefore was only represented using one simplifi ed feature.

Full textAbstract:
“Catch-22” is considered one of the American writer Joseph Heller’s greatest novels. It was published in 1961. Joseph Heller combined the irrational sensations, the mocking and satirical tones to describe a collapsed and degenerate world in the postmodern condition. Through the living background of an American military unit of World War II, the author reflected some absurd problems such as: the distortion of justice, the influence of greed, and the issue of personal integrity. This article focuses on analyzing the absurdity of character imagery and reality that is automatically accepted and followed in postmodern condition. As a result, readers can gain a deeper insight into the novel and seek empathy in the perception about the absurd, which is becoming normal in recently.

Full textAbstract:
This essay reconstructs the involvement of Nicola Chiaromonte in the Spanish Civil War. For very short this experience was in fact an episode of great importance for his biography(life experience). Chiaromonte was an anti-fascist which was exiled in France. In August 1936 Chiaromente went to Madrid convinced that the defense of the Spanish republic coincides with the beginning of an international mobilization against Fascism. There he becomes a bomber with the air squadron organized by his friend the writer Andre Malraux. At the end of November he returned to France because he feels exhausted revolutionary hopes that had animated the popular resistance to the military coup, also because of the increasingly important role assumed by the Communist International in the republican camp.

Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, a Polish writer and politician, fought for the good of his homeland throughout his life. The knowledge gained at the Knight's School allowed for many years to perform the function of Adam Czartoryski, adjutant general of the army of the Podolia region. During the deliberations of the Great Sejm, he actively joined in the efforts to strengthen the army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He took an active part in the battles in defense of the Constitution of May 3. Niemcewicz demonstrated the greatest military activity during the Kościuszko Uprising as Tadeusz Kosciuszko's adjutant. His memories of these events seem to be an important source for learning the final act of the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
