Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas „Vilniaus tekstas“ (sekant V. Toporovo ir J. Lotmano įvestu terminu) ir jo plėtotė nuo XVI a. ligi XX a. antrosios pusės. Plačiau aptariamas to teksto daugiakultūrinis pobūdis ir vienas iš jo esminių integruojančių elementų – miesto pasiilgimas, kurį patiria ir reiškia ne tik atskiri autoriai, bet ir ištisos etninės grupės – lietuviai, lenkai, žydai, baltarusiai.

The paper deals with the „Vilnius text“ (in the terminological sense introduced by Vladimir Toporov and Yury Lotman) and its development from the XVI c. up to the second half of the XX c. The author discusses its multicultural character and one of its essential unifying elements, namely, longing for the city, experienced and expressed not only by the individual authors, but by entire ethnic groups (Lithuanians, Poles, Jews, Belorussians).

The premiere of Sen [“A Dream”] by Felicja Kruszewska put on by the Reduta took place on 27 March 1927 in the Na Pohulance Theatre with stage setting designed by Iwo Gall and music composed by Edward Dziewulski. It was Edmund Wierciński’s directorial debut. The artist had been a member of the Reduta company, ran by Osterwa and Limanowski, since 1921. It was where he studied acting and directing. He gained some valuable experience in directing and staging when the Reduta toured the Eastern Borderlands in 1924. The company performed in halls unfit for the purpose and showed Schiller’s Wielkanoc [“The Easter”] outdoor more than a dozen times, which required numerous staging alterations. Wierciński was the one to make them, since he was the artistic director of the whole enterprise. In 1925 the Reduta moved to Vilnius. The company ceased to be a laboratory theatre it had been; as the only theatre in town it had to attract audiences; the methods of work changed, the number of premiere shows increased while the number of rehearsals and the amounts of time spent on thorough analysis of the dramas decreased; and the repertory now included best selling shows. The level of artistic quality lowered; and the search for novel means of artistic expression was replaced with naturalism. Wierciński would not accept it. His production of Sen was, as he put it, “a tempestuous and radical protest against the naturalism of the Reduta.” Girl, the protagonist of the play, has a dream that she has been entrusted with a mission to rescue her town from the Black Army. No one except for her sees the danger; no one understands her, and everybody is trying to set her back. The drama can be interpreted in various ways. In reference to the interwar period, the most viable reading is that it portrays Poland that has regained independence but is not able to really put it to her advantage, accepting the societal mediocrity and low morality. Wierciński wrung out the whole emotionally charged meaning of the text, thus putting on an expressionist show that relied heavily on deformation, caricature, mechanic movements, and repetitive gestures and sounds. Nothing looked onstage as it did in reality. Wierciński himself took on the part of Green Clown [Zielony Pajac], the most grotesque character of all. Most of the theatre reviewers criticised the drama, but they all agreed in their high appraisal of the theatrical production. Osterwa, however, deemed the show to be contrary to the Reduta values, which led to a split within the company. Wierciński with a group of other artists left the Reduta. The secessionists were then hired for a short period of time by the Nowy Theatre in Poznań, where Wierciński put on Sen again in September 1927. For the third time, he directed the play by Kruszewska at the Miejskie Theatres in Łódź in 1929. Wierciński was known to analyse his works thoroughly and eagerly. He considered Sen to be a necessary step for the development of theatre, yet he saw the pitfalls of venturing further in this direction, which might lead to the primacy of director and form over the creative potential of actors that would then be lost and unappreciated. All in all, Wierciński believed that the theatre should give precedence to the drama and playwright in determining the form of the play and that actors ought to be fully appreciated for their participation and involvement in the creative process. He followed these principles in his theatrical work more and more noticeably. His directorial debut was a spectacular protest that marked the beginning of an artistic journey from expressionism and dominance of form, through naturalism and socially engaged theatre, to the great poetic drama, from the primacy of form to a synthesis.

In December 1927, at the Polish-Lithuanian meeting in Geneva the state of war between the two countries was lifted. As a consequence of this meeting, both sides decided to take the necessary measures to establish bilateral relations in the future. The Polish government counted on constructive dialogue, which allowed to sign the agreement on launching the railway transport, postal and telegraph service, transit and local border traffic. The Lithuanian side did not recognize the need to establish the direct relations, and the note of losing Vilnius by Lithuania in 1920 was heard in the comments of Lithuanian diplomats. The Polish-Lithuanian negotiations started on 30 March 1928 in Konigsberg. Their pace aroused keen interest among the diplomatic missions and was extensively commented in the Polish and Lithuanian press. The Polish side greeted the beginning of the negotiations with great hope, counting on normalizing the mutual relations. However, with time it became obvious for the Polish delegation that reaching the agreement suggested by Poland would be impossible because of the unrelenting stance of Lithuanians. Signing an agreement on the local border traffic was the only result of the negotiations.

EN
The article presents the time spanning 1825–1828, when Julisz Słowacki studied at Vilnius University; it specifies and describes the places where he lived for longer periods of time. The article also describes the location of Belweder, the summer residence and garden of August Bécu, to which Słowacki often went for a stroll. The article fills some gaps concerning the poet’s student life. Thanks to discovering a copy of the diploma, the mark transcript and some information concerning the completion of studies, the author has been able to determine which students of the Faculty of Moral and Political Sciences received a monetary prize, who was awarded an honourable mention, what the subject of Słowacki’s final paper was and when Słowacki left Vilnius for good.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to establish which psychosocial factors at work are related to depression among female white-collar workers in Vilnius. Materials and Methods: The data was collected in a case-control study in 2002-2004. The cases were selected from patients treated at Vilnius mental health centers. The controls were randomly selected from employed Vilnius residents. A descriptive statistic and logistic regression was applied. Results: 3 psychosocial factors and possible confounders within the evaluated model were statistically reliable (model χ²: 44.47, p < 0.05 ). The adjusted odds ratio for uneven work distribution was 2.17 (95% CI: 1.38-3.51, p < 0.005), the odds ratio for possibility to control was 10.81 (95% CI: 2.13-54.71, p < 0.005), and the odds ratio for family esteem was 2.13 (95% CI: 1.01-4.59, p < 0.005). Conclusion: This study suggests that work distribution, possibility to control and family esteem, together with stressful life events and mental health disorders in the family, are related to depression among female white-collar workers.

Teatr na Wileńskiej 1824–1832

EN
The article presents episodes from the history of the theatre building, its location and attempts at organising theatre management in Vilnius in 1824–1832, a time when the poet Juliusz Słowacki was known to sit in the audience. Rivalry and feuds between the actors prohibited instituting an effective theatre management for many years, even though Projekt urządzenia Wileńskiego Teatru [“A Project of Organising the Vilnius Theatre”] had been in place since 1823. Some complications relating to the organisation of theatre seasons in Vilnius had their origins in the unpaid debt of a former theatre entrepreneur, Maciej Każyński. Due to the state of disrepair of the original building, it was decided to move the stage to the city hall.

“Wiadomości Literackie” addition to “Kurier Litewski” has been appearing in Vilnius between 1760–1763. The Editor in Chief of both titles was Franciszek Paprocki, Jesuit, professor at the Vilnius Academy and a prefect of its print house, publisher of the nation-wide popular calendars. “Wiadomości Literackie” were thought out to be as a small-format and small-volume addition and was supposed to acquaintance readers with the newest scientific achievements and interesting facts from the world all around. It printed news from the area of inter alia agriculture, medicine, hygiene, veterinary medicine, physics, meteorology, botany. As one of the few periodicals popularizing the scientific knowledge, it published original content, rarely using reprints of foreign magazines. Directed at the Academy students, it was in fact aimed at a wide range of Lithuanian nobility. The aim of the article is to demonstrate, that „Wiadomości Litewskie” played a role of science popularizer and can be counted among the group of magazines paving the way for future popular science magazines in Poland

The Jan Laski Society of Lovers of The History of Polish Reformation in Vilnius, established in 1916, played a significant role in the propagation of history of the Reformation in Polish lands. It owed its achievements to the intensive efforts of its members who organized numerous meetings and lectures and published books on the Evangelical-Reformed Church and the influence the Reformation had on national culture and language. Towards the end of its existence the Society doubled the number of its members, which clearly shows that it was growing in prestige and popularity.

The article presents so far an unknown Polish handwritten journal Jedność (Unity) published in 1862 in Vilnius. Only two issues of the journal have survived in the Lithuanian State Archives in Vilnius. It was published out of the Russian censorship, thus, its editors were anonymous and instead of printing they rewrote the journal by hand. The main subject were Polish-Russian relations. The journal aimed for the integration and social education of the Polish people

The Department of Law and Social Sciences was the one most numerously attended by students of the SBU. At the end of the 20s, being the first and the only one, the Department exceeded one thousand students. Despite so many students, it did not have an adequate number of posts for professors (they were created by the state authorities). For example, the SBU in the 1931/1932 academic year had 15 chairs, including 8 for full professors and 7 for associate professors, with only 10 professors employed at that time, and 12 during next year. According to the University’s documents, in the interwar period the general number of associate and full professors at the Department of Law and Social Sciences came to 15, while the whole USB employed 141 persons at these posts. Majority of the Department’s professors were lawyers and economists, and all of them were male. Since their prevailing attitude towards scientific, didactic and organisational duties was serious, they spent a lot of time at the University. For example, it was common that the Department scheduled to give classes for half a week. Majority of the Department’s professors, while performing different functions both in the Department and the UBS, were behaving in a responsible and moderate manner, although during elections for the UBS posts also political issues mattered, so on such occasions disputes were particularly bitter. Generally speaking, prudence and solemnity were the traits especially valued among professors – both in their bearing and attire. And such was the majority of professors employed at the Department, also in their private life. Occasionally, though, persons leading quite extravagant life could be found among them.

The aim of the article is to discuss the magazine Comoedia dedicated to art and culture. From the start, Comoedia attracted contributions from eminentfigures in letters and the arts.

The article presents a few excerpts from the lost memoirs of Gabriela Puzynina, which were copied by hand by Mieczysław Rulikowski during the Second World War in 1940. The original manuscript, kept in the Przezdzieckis’ Archive, was destroyed in 1944, so these nine sheets of paper (1–6, 12–13), found now in Rulikowski’s archives, in addition to several other quotations from the memoirs previously saved by Czesław Jankowski, are a confirmation of the memoirs’ existence. The discovered fragment of Puzynina’s notes relates to the Vilnius theatre of the 1850s and 1860s. It also describes the circumstances in which Puzynina’s dramas were staged and shows the life of Vilnius actors and their social circles. The document from the middle of the 19th century mentions lesser-known theatrical events and brings a few emotional portraits of people from the past.

The activity of Feliks and Rudolf Nowowiejski plays a significant part in the history and culture of pre-war Lviv and Vilnius. In the years 1906-1912 Rudolf was a chaplain and a secretary of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Lviv J. Bilczewski. At that time Feliks entered into cooperation with music circles of Lviv where the world premiere of the oratorio Znalezienie św. Krzyża [Finding of the Holy Cross] took place. Biographies of the two brothers are also associated with Vilinius. Rudolf for many years taught Latin in the J. Slowacki Lower Secondary School. Rela- tions of Feliks with that city are primarily associated with a rapidly growing singing movement there. Melody of the Rota was until 1929 the official bugle call of Vilinius. In organ and choral music of F. Nowowiejski one can find references to the most significant symbol of the city - Our Lady of Ostra Brama painting. However, the inspirations by Białowieża wilderness produced such works as Hejnał Prezydenta R.P [Bugle call of the President of the Republic of Poland] and the triptych Teka Białowieska.

After World War II documentation of archive of the Konwent Polonia was dispersed. Currently, it is gathered in three institutions: The Archdiocesan Archive of Warsaw, The Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius and The Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum in London. This study presents a Vilnius collection - both structure of the archival fond and the information value of gathered archival units. It is extremely useful for researchers - particularly in the context of the lack of online inventories, as well as factual mistakes committed during the archival description of the records gathered there. This archival fond consists of 404 units and it is one of the most important sources for the history of both the Konwent Polonia and polish fraternities. Especially that most of fraternities archives were destroyed, and the total number of members of all academic fraternities until the outbreak of World War II was at least over a twelve thousand.

The article is an attempt to present the impressions of Andrey Muraviev, religious writer, theologian, poet, playwright, church and state activist, from his stay in Vilnius in 1863, on the basis of his work entitled The Russian Vilnius. It consists of six essays on Vilnius religious monuments: the Chapel of Our Lady of Ostra Brama, St. Paraskeva Orthodox church, Orthodox cathedral of Our Most Holy Lady, Orthodox church of translation of St Nicholas’ relics, Holy Trinity cathedral, Holy Spirit church and monastery complex. The author was only interested in monuments which would document the city’s connections to Russia and Orthodox Christianity. His reflections might be considered as a literary justification for the program of Russification of the north-west country, developed by the writer’s brother, Mikhail, who went down in Polish historical memory as Veshatiel.

The article recalls a source from 1638 which has hitherto not been referred to in the subject-matter literature, concerning the history of two chapels at the cathedral in Vilnius: the chapel of St. Casimir founded by King Zygmunt III, and the chapel of the Immaculate Conception which was furnished as a burial chapel by Bishop Eustachy Wołłowicz (lit. Eustachijus Valavičius). The source is a diary from travels from Lublin to Vilnius (14 November–26 December 1638) written by Carmelite nuns when going to a new monastery founded by Stefan Pac (lit. Steponas Pacas) and his wife Anna Maria Ancilia née Rudomina–Dusiacka (lit. Ona Marija Ancilia Rudomina-Dusiackaitė). The memoirs were written by a nun, Mary Magdalene (Anna Żaboklicka) who described various aspects of their journeys as well as a visit to the Vilnius Cathedral organised by the Pac family. The nuns were particularly impressed by the chapel of St. Casimir. Thanks to the fact that the nun described the chapel in detail, it was possible to reconstruct the subjects of some paintings by Bartłomiej Strobel, and to additionally interpret several facts connected with the appearance of the altar with the reliquary of St. Casimir. Even though the description of the chapel of Bishop Eustachy Wołłowicz is not as detailed, it should be underlined that by inviting the nuns there, the Pac family wanted to emphasise their kinship with the monarch of Vilnius, who was commonly highly regarded.
