In the article, three versions of presentation of the past: the oral presentation, its transcription from the tape, and the narrator’s comments and additions to the version transcribed from the tape, are compared from the standpoint of narrated history research. The question is to what extent the information that is interesting for narrated history research varies in the different versions of presentation of these memories. The analysis reveals that the transcribing of an oral presentation does not in itself change the interpretation of the past. The difference in information results from the aims of the interviewer and the interviewee. The narrator offers an emotional adventure story, in which he as the first-person character comes out as a winner. The interviewer-historian, however, places the narrator’s everyday life more precisely in the temporal and spatial framework. This analysis draws the researcher’s attention to the importance of interpersonal relationships when remembering historical events. From the point of narrated history research, more attention could be paid to how (new) conditions make people behave and how this in turn affects the internal life of the community. This way, interest in the specific historical event fades, but there is room for discussion on people’s behavioural patterns in certain periods of time.

The University of Dorpat (now Tartu, Estonia) is one of the oldest universities in the Eastern Europe. It was founded by King of Sweden Gustav II Adolf in 1632. After a long break in operating due to the long wars the University resumed its activities in 1802, already under the Russian rule. The University was organized on the German model and in comparison with other universities existing in the Russian Empire, it featured the atmosphere of freedom of thought and research, especially in the first decades after the reopening. At the University of Dorpat studied representatives of many nationalities, including Poles. Historians have often tried to determine the national composition of students. In the holdings of the Historical Archive in Tartu is preserved rich documentation of the university from the years 1802–1918, being now the fond. No 402. 14-piece-inventory developed in German and Russian facilitates access to the fond. The fond contains a lot of data on students: their personal affairs, collective lists (of students, the enrolled, graduates, lists of people liable to military service, hand-written curriculum vitae) and materials relating to student organizations (corporations, special interest groups). Unfortunately, in none of these types of sources one can find information about the nationalities, so in many cases the nationality of individual students could be determinated on the basis of the unreliable criteria such as the following: names, religion, place of birth. Therefore, any attempt to determine the exact national composition of students in Tartu is always subject to a certain margin of error.

History of the Faculty of Polish studies at Tartu University Slavic Studies in Tartu (Dorpat) came to existence at the beginning of the 19th century when Russian language and literature started to be taught here. Other Slavic languages and literatures were gradually being included in the curriculum. Polish Studies were initiated in 1883 by a distinguished Polish linguist J. Niecisław Baudouin de Courtenay. In the article the author discusses gradual development of Polish Studies, expanding Slavic courses, contribution of particular famous scholars mainly from Poland in the inter-war period. The author lists the most important research topics and highlights the Tartu scholars’ special interest in Kashubian matters. Currently the Faculty of Polish Studies is supported by the Polish Ministry of Education which delegates Polish lecturers to run classes and enables Estonian students to undergo their training in Poland as well as participate in language courses. The author presented important publications from the field of Polish Studies published in Tartu.

Tadeusz Bulharyn (1789–1859), of Polish origin, was an offi cer in the Russian army and the French army, and at the same time one of the best-known writers in Russia during the fi rst half of the 19th century. He was a co-owner and the main editor of the daily Северная пчела [English: The Bee of the North] as well as the editor of a few other periodicals. In 1828 Bulharyn bought the Karłowo [Russian: Карлово] estate near Dorpat [Estonian: Tartu], where he moved with his family four years later. He lived in Livonia for almost 30 years. He described the region in his articles,sharinghis knowledge of the area throughout Russia. Bulharyn was impressed by the quiet and academic ambience of Dorpat. He also liked the town’s geographical location and communication system with Saint Petersburg. He praised the university of Dorpat, which he considered to be a model for other universities in the Russian Empire; Estonians and Latvians, whose customs were little known among Russian readers, also absorbed his attention. Bulharyn contributed to the cultural development of Livonia. He owned one of the biggest libraries in Livonia; he informed Livonians about the most important events, invited outstanding artists and urged the authorities to open new cultural institutions.

The article presents the Lithuanian expedition carried out in Livonia in the winter of 1579. On the basis of the itinerary [itinerarium] and iconographic and written sources it has been established that three regiments were to act in a coordinated manner to conduct the military action against the Russian Empire. All the three regiments were to set off from Kieś [Wenden] and through different ways reach Dorpat [Tartu] occupied by the Russians. The whole expedition included about 200 cavalry soldiers and about 400 common infantry soldiers [Polish: drab] along with several light artillery and a numerous lager. Owing to the activities undertaken by the three regiments, destructions were much more extensive, more loot was acquired and military successes were more significant – the castle of Kierepeć was conquered. The activity of three separate regiments confused the enemy and prevented them from undertaking the effective defence. The expedition was carried out from 16 February to 6 March, which also affected its outcome. The late winter provided the best conditions for the land communication, while the upcoming thaw made it impossible for the enemy to launch the counter-defence. It resulted in the safe return to Kieś and a lack of Moscovite units sent from Dorpat. To my way of thinking, the winter expedition of 1579 to Livonia was the best example of the manoeuvre art of the Polish-Lithuanian army in the 16th century. The routes of two regiments (the left one and the central one) ran close to each other, while the third one (the right one) had a totally different route entering the Russian lands from the back. The right regiment was commanded by the Oberst [Colonel] of Courland Jürgen Buttler, who conquered the castle of Kierepeć [Kirempe]. The main unit was commanded by Krzysztof Radziwiłł nicknamed “Perkūnas”, who plundered the vicinities of Dorpat. The analysis of the itinerary of 1579 prepared by Krzysztof Radziwiłł indicates that the mile recorded there corresponded to 8 kilometres. The average daily velocity of the expedition Kieś–Dorpat–Kieć amounted to 21.55 km, which corresponded to 2.7 miles. During the expedition the regiments covered from 250 to 310 km, which along with the return journey amounted to 500 km.

Der Artikel handelt vom litauischen Feldzug in Livland im Winter 1579. Auf der Grundlage eines wiederaufgefundenen itinerarium sowie von ikonografischen und schriftlichen Quellen konnte ermittelt werden, dass damals drei Regimenter gebildet wurden, die in koordinierter Weise eine Militäraktion gegen das russische Zarenreich durchführen sollten. Alle sollten aus Wenden aufbrechen und auf verschiedenen Wegen in das von den Russen besetzte Dorpat gelangen. Am gesamten Feldzug nahmen etwa 2000 berittene Soldaten und etwa 400 Schützen teil, dazu kamen einige leichte Geschütze und ein verhältnismäßig umfangreicher Tross. Durch die Operationen von drei Regimentern wurde der Bereich der angerichteten Zerstörungen erweitert, die Beute vergrößerte sich und man errang militärische Erfolge, vor allem durch die Eroberung der Burg Kirempe. Die Operationen von drei getrennten Gruppen verwirrten den Gegner und machten ihm eine wirksame Verteidigung unmöglich. Von Bedeutung war auch die Wahl des Zeitpunkts des Feldzugs (16. Februar – 6. März). Der Spätwinter ermöglichte die vergleichsweise besten Bedingungen für den Landverkehr, und das herannahende Tauwetter machte es dem Gegner unmöglich eine Gegenoffensive zu beginnen. So kam man sicher nach Wenden zurück, und es wurden keine Moskauer Einheiten in Richtung Dorpat entsandt. Der Winterfeldzug von 1579 nach Livland kann in meinen Augen als das beste Beispiel für die Bewegungskunst der polnischlitauischen Armeen im 16. Jahrhundert gelten. Die Marschwege von zwei Regimentern (des linken und des mittleren) verliefen nebeneinander, das dritte (rechte) hatte eine ganz andere Marschroute und drang gleichsam vom Hinterland in russisches Gebiet ein. Das rechte Regiment wurde vom kurländischen Oberst Jürgen Buttler geführt und eroberte die Burg Kirempe. Die Hauptmacht führte Krzysztof Radziwiłł „Piorun“, der die Umgebung von Dorpat plünderte. Eine Analyse des von Krzysztof Radziwiłł zurückgelegten itinerarium von 1579 zeigt, dass man die verzeichneten Meilen auf etwa acht Kilometer umrechnen muss. Die mittlere Tagesgeschwindigkeit auf dem Zug Wenden – Dorpat – Wenden betrug 21,55 Kilometer, was 2,7 Meilen entsprach. Die Regimenter legten im Verlauf des Feldzugs zwischen 250 und 310 Kilometern zurück, zusammen mit dem Rückweg waren es über 500 Kilometer.
