This essay will firstly address the extent of Stalin’s achievements in leading the course for domestic policy of the Soviet Union and its contribution towards maintaining the country’s supremacy in the world, for example the rapid post-war recovery of industry and agriculture, and secondly, the foreign policy including ambiguous relations with Communist governments of countries forming the Eastern Bloc, upkeeping frail alliances and growing antagonism towards western powers, especially the United States of America.   The actions and influence of Stalin’s closest associates in the Communist Party and the effect of Soviet propaganda on the society are also reviewed. This investigation will cover the period from 1945 to 1953. Additionally, other factors such as the impact of post-war worldwide economic situation and attitude of the society of Soviet Union will be discussed.

The study focuses on the themes of classical mythology in the Czech visual art with an emphasis on the period between the two World Wars. The depiction of classical myth in the work of modern Czech artists became not only a means of expressing their attitudes towards the tradition and the past, but was also a reflection of the current period’s events as well as the tool of perception of themselves in a modern society. Some Czech works of art inspired by classical mythology are very interesting examples dealing with conventional topics, but rendered with modern art forms. Moreover, they are very surprising in their contexts and meanings. The study deals with selected works of art on the theme of classical mythology, whose origin was influenced by the contemporary political environment. These works of art mirror the turbulent atmosphere of the first half of the 20th century, and show the myth in the original Czech (or more precisely Czechoslovak) context. Emil Filla, Alois Wachsman and Vladimír Sychra, prominent representatives of the Czech mythological painting, and other artists and their work are presented here.

The paper analyses the position of peripheral European literatures on the German publishing market during World War I. Statistical information retrieved from the records of publishing houses and advertisements placed in relevant journals confirm the claim that the smaller European literatures were brought to the centre of attention of German publishers and readership between 1914–1918. Moreover, specific books were frequently referred to as ‘Weltliteratur’ (world literature) by the critics and publishers. The term ‘Weltliteratur’ is analysed here in the context of World War I, because of the specific circumstances which contributed to the growing significance of smaller literatures inthe German book market at the time.

The work entitled “Reflections of an Unpolitical Man”, written during World War I, includes an essay against the Western states. Thomas Mann compares democratic countries and the societies created after the French Revolution with the German concept of society and a country based on conservative values. Equality is set against hierarchy, the individual against the community, and a secular perspective against a religious one. Defiance of the West is based on Protestantism. The references to Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, in agreement with Darwin's theory of evolution, are advanced by the West as an argument for the conflict between rationalism and irrationalism. At the end of Thomas Mann’s work, this conflict is solved by the “principle of irony”, which gives the author the opportunity to reconcile himself with the concept of democracy. This also dominated his future work.

Polscy lekarze ginęli od pierwszych dni września 1939 roku biorąc udział w walkach z Wehrmachtem jako zawodowi ofi cerowie oraz jako lekarze cywilni. W kampanii polskiej 1939 roku zginęło około 66 000 polskich żołnierzy i ofi cerów. Wielu z nich dostało się do niewoli sowieckiej i zostało rozstrzelanych w Katyniu, Charkowie czy Miednoje. Wśród nich znaczną część stanowili lekarze pochodzenia żydowskiego. W 1940 roku niemieckie władze okupacyjne rozpoczęły na terenach okupowanej Polski tworzenie gett przeznaczonych dla ludności żydowskiej. W obrębie zamkniętych dzielnic znaleźli się także żydowscy lekarze. Szacuje się, iż w murach największego getta – getta warszawskiego – znalazło się od 750 do 1000 lekarzy Żydów. Większość kontynuowała pracę na terenie getta. Warunki panujące w żydowskich szpitalach i przychodniach pogarszały się dramatycznie z tygodnia na tydzień z powodu olbrzymich niedoborów środków leczniczych i żywności. Niestety, z biegiem czasu leczenie ograniczyło się do podstawowych czynności pielęgnacyjnych, a szpitale i poradnie stopniowo zamykano. Mimo wszystkich trudności lekarze Żydzi pracowali z prawdziwym poświęceniem, nauczali na tajnych kursach medycyny, a nawet prowadzili badania nad przewlekłym głodzeniem, które nazwano wówczas „chorobą głodową”. Zarówno w trakcie masowych akcji deportacyjnych, jak i w późniejszym okresie, niektórzy żydowscy lekarze zbiegli z getta i ukryli się po „stronie aryjskiej”. Niejednokrotnie było to możliwe dzięki pomocy przedwojennych przyjaciół. Pozostali zginęli w gettach i obozach zagłady. Podobny los spotkał lekarzy z getta lwowskiego oraz wszystkich gett tworzonych na zajmowanych przez Niemców ziemiach. Literatura wspomnieniowa oraz powojenne relacje ocalonych pozwalają dziś na odtworzenie historii grupy zawodowej lekarzy urologów jako uniwersalnego przykładu losu ludności żydowskiej w Polsce podczas II wojny światowej.

Polish physicians died from the earliest days of September 1939, taking part in battles with the Wehrmacht as professional offi cers as well as civilian doctors. In the Polish Campaign 1939 about 66 000 Polish soldiers and offi cers were killed. Many of them got captured by the Soviets and were executed in Katyń, Kharkov and Miednoje. Th ere was a large part of Jewish physicians among them. In 1940, the Nazi authorities decided to establish a “Jewish residential districts” and forced all Jewish inhabitants to move there. When the Warsaw ghetto was sealed, there were between 750 and 1000 physicians among its Jewish population. Most of the physicians continued to practice their profession in the ghetto. Unfortunately the conditions of hospital care and outpatient treatment in the ghetto deteriorated virtually from week to week due to dramatic shortage of medical supplies and food. Over time, the scope of medical services off ered became limited to basic nursing tasks, and the number of hospitals and clinics dwindled dramatically. In this truly desperate situation, the ghetto doctors worked with fortitude, training medical students and even pursuing research on the eff ects of persistent starvation (which they termed “hunger disease”). During the mass deportations and in the period following them, some doctors managed to escape “to the Aryan side” and went into hiding thanks to the help of Polish doctors (usually former colleagues from the pre-war days.) Th e others, almost all of them, perished in the ghettos and concentration camps. A similar fate befell the doctors of the Lviv ghetto and all the other ghettos created by the Germans in occupied Poland. Literature of memoirs and post-war survivors relationships allow to create the history of a small professional group of urologists as a universal example of the fate of the Polish Jews during World War II.

Having hosted a large number of North Caucasian immigrants since the end of the 19th century, Turkey has always been a very important centre for the political activities of the Caucasian Mountaineers. eTh political activities of the Mountain immigrant community show some characteristic diefrences across Turkey, the Caucasus, and Europe. While these activities were sometimes limited only to the internal politics of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, some of them were focused on the liberation of the Caucasus, and some of them were related to both. eTh common point of all these activities is that they are the circles of a chain of nested individual events which seem to be completely irrelevant and independent from each other. Caucasian Mountaineers became a great power in the palace, army, and politics as soon as they have begun to appear in Ottoman social life. Many émigré leaders had joined the Ottoman opposition movement as decisive rulers during the revolutionary years. Association of Circassian Unity (Djamiyet-i Ittikhadiye-i Cherakise) that had been founded in Cairo in 1899, can be considered to be an example of early North Caucasian activism in the Ottoman Empire.1 hTe Caucasian Mountaineers who had decisive roles in the Ottoman and Russian revolutions, had always been in close communication and cooperation with each other. Magomed Bek Hadjetlashe (aka Gersh / Grigory Ettinger) who was a spy of the Tsar's secret police was a very striking example of this. He was exposing the regime opponents on both sides by manipulating the dissidents in both the Caucasus and 1 (39) 2022 pamięć i spr awiedliwość

THE NATURE OF COMMON SENSE AND HOW WE CAN USE COMMON SENSE TO RENEW THE WEST

Since most pressing today on a global scale is to be able to unite religion, philosophy, and science into parts of a coherent civilizational whole, and since the ability to unite a multitude into parts of a coherent whole essentially requires understanding the natures of the things and the way they can or cannot be essentially related, this paper chiefly considers precisely why the modern world has been unable to effect this union. In so doing, it argues that the chief cause of this inability to unite these cultural natures has been because the contemporary world, and the West especially, has lost its understanding of philosophy and science and has intentionally divorced from essential connection to wisdom. Finally, it proposes a common sense way properly to understand these natures, reunite them to wisdom, and revive Western and global civilization.
