In the collection of the Archeological Museum in Kraków there is a stone statue (inv. no: MAK/7911), belonging to examples of monumental statue sculptures. It was created by the Turkic - Mongol nomads who arrived in the Black Sea region in the mid-11th century, and were known in Europe as the Cumans, Kipchaks or Polovtsy. Details presented on the stone figure from the Krakow collection find their analogies in the material obtained from Polovtsian grave inventories. Dating of all the above described elements indicates the period from the mid-11th c. to the turn of the 13th and 14th century. Erecting figures representing images of women and men on older burial mounds served various functions in the Polovtsian culture.

The article is dedicated to the analysis and semantic interpretation of a monument referred to as the Zbruch Idol, discovered in 1848 near Liczkowce in the Ukraine. The author offers arguments in favour of the thesis that the artefact is a quadruple female made of stone by the Cumans in the late 13th/ early 14th century, and that the idol is a synthesis of the Turkish sepulchral sculpture.

A sculpture representing the so called “Polovtsian baba” (no MAK/7911;) was made available for a dissertation in the Stone Sculpture, Stucco and Ceramics Conservation Workshop in the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow (conservation no – 537), in order to carry out research and subject it to conservation treatment, which would allow the statue to be exhibited in the open air. The technical and plastic conservation was conducted in the years 2005-2007. Photographic and descriptive documentation was collected, and laboratory examination was conducted (including the following analyses: petrographic, chemical - of salinity and types of pigments and mortars, microbiological), technical treatment was applied to the statue and, to a limited extent aesthetic – plastic conservation was carried out. A metal construction was designed and made to stabilise the sculpture and to enable it to be permanently exhibited in the vertical position.

Uprising Berber population when Roman power was due to abuse of the local Roman authorities.

From Romans and Byzantines and Berbers took over the titulature and existence of sedentary settlements. During the Arab expansion of the semi-sedentary Berbers was a allies of the Byzantines. Their leader Kuseyla wanted to integrate into the Byzantine society. Berber nomads also raided the agricultural population of the provinces of Africa and Mauritania, without changing the normal lifestyle.

There is evidence (archaeological, historical, linguistic, iconographic, ethnological and other mentioned in this article) to show that the formation of the myth of the Amazons could be a result of observations of habits of Iranian nomads who used to live in the areas of the northern coast of the Black Sea and Central Asia in Antiquity. Some datum indicates that women from these communities (as in many other groups of nomads) had a much higher social status than in many settled communities such as the ancient Greeks and Romans. Women in the Iranianspeaking nomadic communities were likely to participate in hunting and, to some limited extent, in fighting. In addition, some of them might have become the heads o f these groups as queens (that is not as wives of kings but as independent rulers). All o f it influenced the imagination of people from Greek culture who had met the nomads. Stories about these warrior women spread into Greek ecumene, increasingly evolving and subject to distortion, thus affecting the myth of the Amazons. The Amazons in Greek mythology and art often have nomadic features - they ride on horseback, wear bows and “Scythian” costumes and weapons. Tales of warlike women did not only contribute to the mythology of the ancient world, but they were inherited by Turkic-speaking groups and are still present in the culture of Iran.

The text presents spiral knives, objects of clearly exceptional nature. The data, the map and table included here are meant to update information on the subject after 32 years. Identification of the specific regional groups and a metric analysis of the historical objects highlight the differences between the groups. The text also touches upon objects which are morphologically close to the spiral knives used by nomadic communities. A critical look at the theories in literature on the subject allowed to limit the functions to two, possibly mutually complementary.

Nomads are often perceived as people who do not have their own place in the world and who would nowhere feel at home because their home is in constant movement. However, starting from the analysis of the spatial practices within ‘the shepherd’s landscape’, in this article I point out that for Uriankhai people – nomads living in the Mongolian Altai – moving is such a kind of travelling that de facto is not travelling. Here, we are dealing with movement, which actually could be called ‘lack of movement’ because it is based on a constant circulation within one space that is called Altaj Delchij (the World of the Altai). From the statements given by Uriankhai people, Altaj Delchij could be analysed on two levels: as a mountain range (high, majestic mountains with snow-capped peaks) and as a powerful ‘force’ or a ‘spiritual entity’. What is crucial is the fact that the relationship between nomads and Altaj Delchij becomes a source of what I characterise as ‘Uriankhai identity’. It should be emphasised that Uriankhai people remain bound to Altai ‘by an umbilical cord’. This unusual relationship generates a unique sense of community and interdependence between people, place, and various entities and beings that inhabit ‘the Altai landscape’.

Based on study of archive records the author explains adoption and execution of the Act Nr. 74/1958 on the permanent settlement of nomads. The author also uses personal testimonies of nomads. In the introduction, the author analyzes potential reasons and causalities of the adoption of the Act. He assumes the Act was adopted upon the appeal from Slovak residents who had complained about the behavior of nomadic Roma. In the next part, he focuses on the execution of the Act itself within the Great Bratislava territory. In the connection with the Act implementation it was vital that State institutions resolve the accommodation, education, employment and health care of nomads. Basic requirement for the Act enforcement was the creation of the register of nomads. The registration took place in 1959 and stated that the number of nomads in Bratislava was 269. According to the archive records, testimonies and personal experience of the author, he makes a conclusion that prohibition of wandering had not have such a dramatic and traumatic impact as other authors describe. The nomads had undertaken the settlement well and persisted on solving their issues.

The Buryat-Mongols’ Way of Being and Their National Image of the WorldThe article focuses on the comparison of two main concepts in the national image of the world of the Buryat-Mongols as it applies to their way of being: the Man of the Steppes and the Man of Water and the Woods. The research is based on the theory of the well-known Russian scholar Georgiĭ Gachev, who connects types of landscape and natural environment to national images of the world. Dwelling around Lake Baikal on the one hand, and at flat steppe territories on the other hand is reflected in two alternative ways of living, as well as images of world and forms of imagination. The author of the article analyzes the two variants of identity, which have always been under the influence of certain geographical and climate factors, economic activities, as well as cultural and historic traditions of various Buryat-Mongol ethnic subgroups. Buriacko-mongolska droga życia i narodowy obraz świataArtykuł jest poświęcony komparatystycznej analizie dwóch podstawowych konceptów (hipostaz) buriacko-mongolskiego narodowego obrazu świata: człowiekowi stepów i człowiekowi wody i lasu. Analiza opiera się na teorii znanego rosyjskiego badacza Gieorgija Gaczewa, który postuluje istnienie wzajemnego oddziaływania między obrazami natury i narodowym obrazem świata. Życie wokół jeziora Bajkał z jednej strony i praca w bezkresnym stepie z drugiej znajdują wyraz w tych dwóch podstawowych formach istnienia, światopoglądach i formach wyobraźni. Autorka artykułu analizuje te dwie odmiany tożsamości, które podlegają wpływowi ze strony określonych czynników geograficznych i klimatycznych, aktywności ekonomicznej oraz historyczno-kulturowej tradycji różnych buriacko-mongolskich podgrup etnicznych.

Aviezer Tucker’s book The Legacies of Totalitarianism: A Theoretical Framework can be classified among works which settle with the totalitarian past and discuss the issue of the victory of liberal democracy in post-Soviet states after 1989. From the many issues examined in his book, I would like to focus here on the author’s interesting intuition that dissidents played an important role not only in the overthrow of communism (real socialism) but also in the preservation of the liberal democracy in Central and Eastern Europe, which, in his view, is now threatened by the demons of populism, nationalism, xenophobia, etc. The essential question is whether dissidents have managed to create such an institutional framework as will protect the society against the temptation of populism, by offering citizens – all social groups – a state with stable, effective structures, respect for individual freedom, and a sense of safety (including social security), or the institutional problems he mentions results from the negligence and desertion of the elites in the first years of the transformation –a state of things which has lasted until now?

Książka Aviezera Tuckera The Legacies of Totalitarianism. A Theoretical Framework wpisuje się nurt prac, które podejmują kwestię zwycięstwa liberalnej demokracji w krajach o totalitarnej przeszłości i postsowieckiej dominacji po 1989 roku. W tekście analizuję problemy, które można wskazać w kontekściesugestii autora, że dysydenci (i kategoria życia w prawdzie) odgrywali istotną rolę nie tylko w obaleniu komunizmu (realnego socjalizmu), lecz także pełnią ją w utrzymaniu zdobyczy liberalnej demokracji w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, która obecnie ma być zagrożona demonami populizmu, nacjonalizmu, ksenofobii. Zasadnicze pytanie mojego tekstu dotyczy kwestii, czy byli dysydenci potrafili stworzyć dobre i funkcjonalne państwa, czy też nowe elityzdezerterowały, pozostawiając instytucje państwowe na łup pasożytujących na nich nomadów, co prowadzi do sprzeciwu obywateli. Kwestia ta dotyczy, jak się wydaje, nie tylko krajów tego regionu, lecz także całej Europy.

Relations between the Roman Empire and Sasanian Iran in the 5th century were largely the result of settling disputes and cooperation in the face of the threat that resulted from the aggressive moves of the nomad community. A great influence on the internal policy, and later also external, of Sasanian Iran was exerted by nomads from Central Asia and especially the Hephthalites described in this text, whose influence on the Sassanids finally led to the reorientation of their foreign policy to the west, which resulted in the outbreak of a new great war in the Middle East.

Relacje między Cesarstwem Rzymskim a Iranem Sasanidów w V wieku były w dużej mierze wypadkową uregulowania spraw spornych i współpracy wobec zagrożenia, które wynikało z posunięć agresywnych społeczności nomadów. Wielki wpływ na politykę wewnętrzną, a później również zewnętrzną, Iranu Sasanidów mieli koczownicy z terenów Azji Środkowej, a szczególnie opisywani w niniejszym tekście Heftalici, których oddziaływanie na Sasanidów doprowadziło finalnie do przeorientowania się sasanidzkiej polityki zagranicznej na zachód, co zaowocowało wybuchem nowej wielkiej wojny na Bliskim Wschodzie.
