The aim of the article is to examine the significance of “lesser known mountains”, namely Castle Mount, Queen Bona Mount and Mount Grabarka in the cultural consciousness of people living in eastern Poland at the turn of the 20th century (Podlasie and Volhynia). In folk tales the symbolism of the mountains was associated with the extraterrestrial world. Mountains aroused fear; they were regarded as the abodes of evil spirits and places where souls of sinners did their penance and wandered. With time the symbolism of the mountains among people living in eastern Poland began to change. At the turn of the century attempts were made to rationalise the perception of nature as well as to tame it and subordinate it to humans. Examples of such an approach include Zygmunt Gloger’s ethnographic descriptions of e.g. Castle Mount near Drohiczyn. Queen Bona Mount was to be found in Podlasie and Volhynia. A literary illustration by Halina Micińska-Kenar, entitled Pod górą królowej Bony [At the Foot of Queen Bona Mount], explores fear of the unknown — a mountain dominating the town — as well as the path of humans’ spiritual development through overcoming their weaknesses and ascending the peak. Often mountains were also associated with divine locations. An example is Mount Grabarka (Podlasie), from which flows a holy spring, symbolising a holy place and a place of remembrance. An analysis of the symbolism of the mountains in Poland’s eastern region shows what places were and are regarded as mountains as well as why and what significance was attributed to these “smaller mountains” in the cultural consciousness of people living in these regions at the turn of the 20th century.

The Flying Dutchman (Letuchiy Gollandets) from the collection Wheel (Koleso) belongs to the forgotten part of Andrei Bitov’s memoir-like prose. This short story stands as an epitaph for a Soviet speedway rider Gennadiy Vyunov. In his story, Bitov adds some sacred value to both speedway and the particular rider, until the sport becomes a supernatural phenomenon. The given article aims at analyzing the story and the means used to conduct the sacralization process on various levels: the plot, the language, the complex of intertextual relations, and therefore, presenting the unknown side of the well-known author of Pushkin House.

A well-known Russian bard, Alexander Vertinsky, like many other representatives of the first wave of Russian emigration, left behind his unfinished memoirs in which he writes of over two decades of homeless wandering around the world (1920-1943). During that time he stayed, among others, in many European countries, the USA and China. And it was in Shanghai in the early 1940s that the singer began to write down his reminiscences. After returning to his homeland, Vertinsky continued his literary work, which undoubtedly left its mark on the content of memoirs. Nevertheless, the leitmotif of Vertinsky’s memoirs is both the image of old Russia scented with nostalgic feelings, and of Russian emigrants embodying his homeland.

In the present article has been analysed portrayals of older women which appear in the memoirs of the nineteenth century Russian women writers. J. Sushkova, A. Kern and A. Smirnova-Rosset in their memoirs most often depict remarkable family members such as grandmothers and aunts, family friends. They focus on the analysis of their personalities, spiritual values and kind-heartedness rather than their physical appearance and signs of physical aging. Among the old ladies portrayed in the memoirs we encounter pious women, wise, experienced, understanding and hospitable women as well as overbearing women or even hostile towards other people. It has been proved in the article that the old women’s behaviour was determined by their age, marital status, social position, their personal qualities and life experience.

Cтатья посвящена образам пожилых женщин, представленных в воспоминаниях русских дворянок XIX в. Старушки, выступающие в мемуарах Е. Сушковой, А. Керн, А. Смирновой-Россет — это чаще всего бабушки и тети авторов воспоминаний, приятельницы семей. Авторы воспоминаний обычно немного места уделяли внешнему виду своих героинь или чертам их физического старения; прежде всего их интересовали характер, достоинства сердца, духа, значит то, что самое ценное в человеке и навсегда остается впамяти следующих поколений. Среди старушек, представленных в мемуарах, были как богобоязненные, хорошие, снисходительные и гостеприимные женщины, так и не терпящие возражений, а даже враждебные по отношению к другим людям. В статье показано, что их поведение зависит как от возраста, семейного или общественного положения каждой из этих женщин, так и от жизненного опыта и черт характера.

Veniamin Korsak is a writer who represents the Russian literature of the first wave of emigration and is known primarily through a series of five autobiographical no- vels presenting the story of a simple man who went into German captivity during World War I and then returned to Russia, which was overwhelmed by civil war. Korsak’s works are a testimony of a “little man”, looking at reality through the prism of ordinary everyday affairs, instinctively trying to survive in the historical turmoil. This article is an attempt to show the specificity of this perspective on the basis of his novels.

This study focuses on the phenomenon of Jewishness and its representation in memoir literature. The author concentrates both on memoirs in the true sense of the word (recorded recollections) and on variations of the genre — e.g. memoir travelogues. However, she also takes into account texts in which distinctly fictionalised elements are discernible, and which can be classified within the genre of memoirs rather than that of the short story or novella only thanks to the author’s statement (usually presented in the introduction) that the described event belongs to his or her own personal recollections. The analysed texts demonstrate various degrees of playing upon national stereotypes, but it would nevertheless be inaccurate to term them anti-Semitic. However, in the concluding part of the study attention is drawn to Jaroslava Procházková’s pamphlet Český lid a český Žid (The Czech People and the Czech Jew), in which manifestly anti-Semitic propositions are put forth, intentionally accenting the stereotype of the Jew as a dishonest trader. The communication strategy in Procházková’s writing lacks literary ambitions, and the childhood recollection presented therein is entirely subordinated to the ideology of anti-Semitism.

This paper consists of three parts: 1. The current state of research on Ivan Lobojko’s memoirs (comments of Samuel Fishman, Abram Reytblat, Marya Prussak, Reda Gruskaite); 2. The biography of Ivan Lobojko (born 1786 in Charkov, died 1861 in Mitau) and his contacts with Polish scientists (the community of Vilnius University, Samuel Bogumił Linde, Joachim Lelewel and others); 3. Two approaches to the subject “Ivan Lobojko in the Polish scientific community on the basis of his memoirs” (I. Lobojko, Moi vospominaniya. Moi zapiski, ed. A.I. Rejtblat, Moscow 2013): a) the “external” method – “The Poles about Lobojko”, a comparison of Lobojko’s memoirs and Poles’ memoires (A.H. Kirkor, A. Malinowski, T. Dobszewicz), b) the “internal” method – “Lobojko about the Poles”, a reconstruction of the profiles of Polish scientists in Lobojko’s memoirs (Zorian Dołęga Chodakowski and others).

The article tries to summarise the forms and uses of memory writings (such as published personal diaries or memoirs), which have been written or „orally shared“ (in the case of oral history interviews) by former Velvet Revolution protagonists, university students in former Czechoslovakia. The author of this article tries to analyse and interpret them in the wide historical and historiographic context. The main aim is to assess, how these memory sources (and „student narratives“) are appropriated by „general“ Czech contemporary historiography and how they can also influence the „general“ collective memory of the Velvet Revolution in contemporary Czech society.

In his memoirs the author criticized the Russian Empire and noted its weak points, mainly bribery, the state of education, religious awareness and the condition of the Orthodox clergy.

Vasily Shulgin (1878-1976) was a Russian political activist of the beginning of the 20th century. He is also known as an active publicist and the author of several memoir books. Born in Kiev and considering himself a "little-Russian", Shulgin acted as a supporter of the unity of Ukraine and Russia and considered his native city as the cradle of "Russianness" as well as an integral part of the whole-Russian cultural circle. Shulgin's worldview, reflected in his memoirs devoted to the years 1917-1919, became the subject of this article.

Within 53 years, the Educational Academy of the Jesuit Fathers in Chyrów employed in total 353 teachers. Many of them worked for the school in Chyrów for many years, some devoted to the school 30 years of their lives. They accumulated professional experience but first and foremost, they educated the young generation. The teacher figure connects with school reality and so does the pupil community. The best remembered were the teachers who not only educated but also practiced their profession with passion and served as models to follow. They have been commemorated in the students’ diaries, memoirs and autobiographies. The survey is an attempt at presenting an image of the Chyrów teachers based on an analysis of the students’ memoirs. Their diaries unveil school reality frequently unavailable from other materials. They show a world experienced by the authors and as such, they can provide basic material for biographic research into the authors of the diaries as well as individuals referred to in the memories. Therefore, they help to create an image of the faculty of the Chyrów school as remembered by their pupils.

For 53 years, the Jesuit School in Chyrów (The Educational Academy of the Jesuit Fathers in Chyrów) would hire a total of 353 teachers. Many of them worked in the school in Chyrów for many years, some even 30. They would gain work experience there, but mostly committed to educating young generations. The figure of a teacher is part of the school life, just the student community is. Those of the teachers who pursued their profession with passion, rather than just teaching, and were role models, were memorized most effectively. They have been described in the pages of diaries, memoires and autobiographies. The present research aims to characterize the teachers of the school in Chyrów based on students’ diarist records. Diaristic sources allow us to discover school life unavailable in any other materials. They reveal the world directly witnessed by the authors and thus can provide the fundamental material for the biographical research on the memoirists as well as the people described by them. Therefore, they make it possible to represent the community of Chyrów teachers as covered in memoires.
