The study is concerned with selected specific features of Odessa’s urban environment dating back to the end of 19th century. After a brief outline of the demographic development of the city, the study focuses on one marginal group, the local Czechs, and then on one dominant urban ethno-congregational group, the local Jewish community. Czechs living in Odessa are taken as an example of a group that is nationally conscious, but numerically non-distinctive one whose minority life was rather at the level of informal activities. In contrary, the Odessa „Jews“ can be described as one of the most remarkable components of the city’s population for the period under review, population that was at that time undergoing the process of internal identity differentiation. While the Czechs represented only a minor element in the context of the transnational environment of the city, the significance of the Jewish intellectual life far outstripped the local context of the Northern Black Sea. In this context, it can be said that the importance of the Odessa environment at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is still not justly appreciated as a formative element in the ideological maturation and institutional formation of the Jewish modernity, especially the Jewish national movement.

It is provided information on the current state of Jewish settlements in Argentina and fixing their history in literature, music, cinema, documentary. It is emphasized that using historical research and direct contacts with the descendants of emigrants to Argentina could be very useful and actual for increasing the efficiency and development of Ukrainian-Argentine economic and cultural ties

The study is concerned with travelogue and proto-ethnographic works from the first half of 19th century that focus on the metropolis of the Novorossiya south, the then recently founded Odessa. The authors of these texts, Western European and Central European visitors to the city, perceived Odessa as a specific, architecturally and economically developing urban complex characterized by fast growth and increasing wealth. In addition to the general characteristics of the city, the researched texts also uncovered protoethnographically oriented information dealing not only with the various local ethno-confession groups but also with the everyday culture of urban residents. The authors of the works recognized Odessa as a city where a new social entity was being formed, a city whose inhabitants could be perceived as an autonomous and fullyfledged subject of meta-layered interest. In conclusion, the study formulates a thesis that this proto-ethnographic literature could correspond with the beginnings of the formation of “the Odessa myth” that was inspired by the initial rapid development of the city and a number of special turns of events that accompanied this development.

The article is based on archival materials from the collections of the State Archives of Odessa Region, Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (Kiev) and the Russian State Library (Moscow). These materials provide documental confirmation of the little-known facts of the biography of George Afanas`ev, the famous historian and educator, journalist, banker and diplomat, public and state figure. The represented source base allows to refine and supplement the information from the historiography about the life and work of Afanas`ev in the period of his stay in Odessa and activity in the Novorossiysky University. Some of these documents are published and introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

The purpose of this paper is to study the activities of the Georgian Consulate in Odessa (1918 – 1921), based on positivism methodology. This theme is carefully illuminated by us for the first time in historiography. The study made the following conclusions: 1) the foundation of the Georgian Consulate in Odessa was due to the long process of existence of the Georgian community in this city; 2) there were stages in the existence of the Consulate : September 1918 – March 1919 – the establishment of the Consulate, mainly for activities aimed at the transport intermediation for former soldiers and refugees, and economic cooperation; March - August 1919 – the activity in extreme conditions of Communist terror, and assistance to inmates; September 1919 – January 1920 – a break in the existence of the Consulate, which was closed by supporters of the Russian Empire restoration; January 1920 – February 1921 – activity in Odessa of “the Special economic mission of the Georgian democratic Republic”, which was actually a form of activity of recovered Consulat. The Georgian Consulate in 1918 –1921 in Odessa laid a solid ideological Foundation for the modern phenomenon – the establishment in 1998 of the Consulate General of Georgia in Odessa, which still operates today. Further Studios of this theme must be unfolded in the direction of expansion of the source base, study of Russian and Georgian archives, private family collections, which primarily should contain valuable sources for additional disclosure of the topic. The practical significance of the results achieved lies in the fact that the study can be used for the contemporary diplomatic service of Ukraine and Georgia, the formation of the policy of historical memory, with the aim of honoring anniversaries of events related to important aspects of the Georgian Consulate's activity in Odessa.

Odessa, as a port town, has been open to many foreign influences practically since its foundation in 1794. These would impact not only the area of economy, but also the realm of everyday culture. The character of the Odessa urban environment was therefore in many ways different from other cities of the Russian Empire at that time, and the lifestyle of its inhabitants took on a peculiar form in comparison to the rest of the empire. As a result of these specifics, Odessa became one of the first places in Tsarist Russia where modern tourism began to develop under conditions comparable to those in Western and Central Europe. Not only was one of the first tourist clubs in Russia founded here, Odessa was also probably the first destination of Tsarist Russia which was visited by an organized group of foreign tourists. Another aspect of the city’s attraction was the fact that it is located on the seashore in a climatically rather favourable area. Another reason determining the touristic appeal of the monitored locality lies in its spa tradition and in the fact that Odessa can be considered, at least from a historical perspective, as a spa town. It is argued in the text that all these local circumstances have influenced the fact that Odessa has become a ‘cradle’ of mass tourism in the Russian and later Soviet empire.

The objective of the submitted study is to point out the fact that examples of unusually mature protoethnological texts, which focus on the urban environment in a surprisingly modern way, could be found as early as in the mid-19th century. As an example for the aforementioned statement, a study from the year 1841 is analysed, which was written by Johann Georg Kohl (1808–1878), a German ethnographer and traveller. Kohl’s text deals with Odessa, a town which – due to its special features – drew attention of many Russian and foreign observers immediately after it had been found. Kohl’s hitherto unusual sensibility for the perception of the town as a specific social space resulted in an unusually modern synthesis. The texts of Kohl’s type can be viewed as valuable sources for ethnographically directed information which is relevant even today due to the diachronic analysis of populations thematised in them; in addition, those texts are important sources usable for the study of the history of European ethnology.

The author of the review analyses the book of professor Yaroslav Polishchuk Boundary Identity. Odessa of the XX Century. This geopoetical study opens before its reader the whole world of the history and art of the city which played an important role on the cultural map of Ukraine. Speaking about the identity of Odessa and its inhabitants nowadays, we have to say that there are a lot of representations of it. The struggle between the images of the imperiled province and the contemporary Ukrainian port center influences the cultural identification of the city. The review reveals all the ways in which the researcher tries to represent the original image of this metropolis in artistic works and visions.

This paper aims at sketching cultural portrayals of the Ukrainian city Odessa and the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, with reference to their current socio-political situation. Cultural visions of both places not only tend to have a lot in common, paradoxically due to the differences that they share but also the ones present in various texts of culture. Thus, both cities can boast their own myths. The symbolic space is approached among others through the prism of Vladimir Toporov’s theory. The city perceived by some researchers as a metaphor of culture functions as a kind of laboratory that fixates social and cultural changes emerging within the society on the microscopic scale. In addition, the current geopolitical situation of those places is mentioned with its war/conflict aftermath that contributes to certain city image.

Rola Domenico de Vivo w rozwoju filologii rosyjskiej i włoskiej w drugiej połowie XIX wieku O Domenico De Vivo (1839-1897) wiadomo niewiele. Był uczniem włoskiego lingwisty Giacomo Lignany.

The text presents three cases of criminal trials held in the 1930s against the Polish population remaining in Soviet Ukraine (regions of Vinnytsia, Odesa, and Kamianets-Podilskyi). All ended with sentences of death by firing squad. Years later, the murdered were recognised as victims of the totalitarian system, thus obtaining posthumous rehabilitation and symbolic sentence exoneration.

Tekst przedstawia trzy przypadki śledztw karnych toczonych w latach trzydziestych XX w. przeciwko ludności polskiej pozostałej na Ukrainie Radzieckiej (Winnica, Odessa, Kamieniec Podolski). Wszystkie zakończyły się wyrokami skazującymi na śmierć przez rozstrzelanie. Po latach zamordowani zostali uznani za ofiary systemu totalitarnego, uzyskując tym samym pośmiertną (symboliczną) rehabilitację.
