No full text(in English) This thesis examines the literary representation of the Bulgarian Rhodope region in the texts of local author Nikolaj Chajtov (1919 - 2002). His prosaic manifestation of regionalism is detailed, as is the artistic portayal of every day life in his writings. Chajtov's work illustrates how the region's inhabitants live in harmony with nature and rural traditions. This paper therefore also analyzes Nikolaj Chajtov's personal relationship with nature and folklore, looking at it in the context of the mystical connections that people may form with land and mountainous topography. Finally, the reception of Chajtov's work in the Czech Republic is detailed
Phirutne rromnǎ: lenqëre hakaja, dotǎ aj xod-aktualizàcia
No full textTill now, a state of nomadic Romani women has been described only from a position of an external observer. The author supposes that narrative sources should be used more actively. To actualize this concept he studies recollections of nomadic life, focusing on Romani women’s traditional ways of earning, such as fortune-telling and begging, and their main value – a family. The article shows how Romani women used to risk for husbands and children. They had to take the initiative and to show mother with every day to feed themselves and their relatives. At the same time, married Romani women lived at the mercy of patriarchy. That created the basic paradox of their lives. Gypsy fortune tellers had real economical independence. Outside of families they looked as free women, but inside they uncomplainingly received whipping. The author want to show subjects that are hardly shown in special literature at the moment. Particularly, he writes about the fact that Romani women have actively taken part in a fight against Nazism during the World War II. Another little known subject is women’s literacy. Though most nomadic Romani women couldn’t read, but indeed exclusions existed. It is interesting, too, such a fact as Romani women could get a high social status with an elderly age, so that men take into account their opinion in traditional court. Sometimes, as it can be seen from examples, families were named for female ancestors. The author studies also psychological possibilities used by Gypsy wives to affect their husbands’ decisions.Natalia Gancar
Kiśïniòvcura Rroma. Studia pala lenqëri història thaj aćara
No full textThe Kishiniovtsy Gypsy group consists of around 3000 people today and hasn’t been described in literature. Ancestors of the group were serfs in Bessarabia. They migrated in Ukraine after abolition of the serfdom in the Russian Empire (the 1861 year’s reform). Now they live in Ukraine and Russia. Until the very roam prohibition in October, 1956, the economic basis of the life of Kishiniovtsy consisted of the men’s domestic thievery and the women’s fortunetelling. By now the ethnic group has trade earnings. Kishiniovtsy didn’t avoid the massive deportations in Stalin’s period. Many were arrested in June, 1933 in Moscow and were deported to Siberia. Unlike most of Gypsy groups, Kishiniovtsy didn’t take an active part in the World War II. While the Russka Roma and the Ukrainian and South-Russian Servi joined the army and were even decorated, Kishiniovtsy always tried to avoid the mobilization. There are many facts about Nazi-genocide in the article. Kishiniovtsy are orthodox Christians. The Moldavian folklore is now forgotten by them. In everyday life the Kishiniovtsy usually sing the songs of Russka Roma. N. Bessonov described their nomadic life and clothing. He built genealogy of some families. Also there is information about customs and justice. Gypsy court in Kishiniovtsy’s dialect is called źudekàta (after Romanian judecată). As for the place of Kishiniovtsy in the Gypsy ethnic group’s hierarchy, they have strong positions. Kishiniovtsy retain their traditions speak their Romany dialect very good and are materially successful. Their problem is the reputation of “dangerous people”. In many aspects such point of view has lost its acuteness (though in conflicts Kishiniovtsy just like Krymy can still protect themselves). In the newest conditions some young people managed to finish school, training colleges and even enter a university, creating a new educated class. Today the legal education is one of the most prestigious. This Gypsy group have good perspectives in modern Russia.O endaj e Rromenqëro Kiśïniovconqëro adadives si grùpa andar pretele 3000 Ŵene thaj palem si bipinŴardo and-e studienqëri literatùra.

Русские поэты в зеркале стихотворений Николая Рубцова<br>(Russian poets in the mirror of poems by Nikolaj Rubcov)
No full textIn this paper the author briefly analyzes some poems by the North Russian poet Nikolaj Michajlovič Rubcov (1936-71), in which he is portraying or hinting at earlier Russian masters of poetry - Esenin, Puškin, Lermontov etc. It is pointed out that Rubcov shows a predilection for poets with a tragic fate and that his portraits provide a rather traditional view on these men, among whom Nikolaj Rubcov is trying to define his own position

Denmark and NATO 1948-1987
No full textHas a fundamental change taken place in Danish security policy in the course of the 1980’s? That may be the case according to the author, who is analysing various Danish foreign policy “games” in the post-war period: the foreign policy, the relationship to the Russians and the domestic influence on foreign policy. Until around 1980 it was still possible to classify Denmark as a loyal NATO ally. This has changed, according to Nikolaj Petersen, mainly because of domestic considerations in the wake of the breakdown of the traditional consensus coalition in the early 198Os
Nikolaj Leskov as a Literary Critic. The Case of the Russian Clerical Novel
No full textThe Russian writer Nikolaj Leskov is widely renowned as a portrayer of the everyday life of the Orthodox clergy; his literary works depict God’s righteous servants as well as the greedy, selfish priests. Notwithstanding being a significant part of his work and effective way to express his views, Leskov’s activity as a book reviewer is not as well-known. Leskov wrote numerous book reviews, mostly on novels featuring clergymen and the ordinary aspects of clerical life, where he analyses the artistic merit and ideological perspective expressed in a work; literary-aesthetic values were, however, at the centre of his critical evaluation and interest. This paper examines Leskov’s book reviews by focusing on their content, structure linguistic style, and the evaluation framework employed by the author for book critical assessment. The aim of the present investigation is to shed some light on Leskov’s critical strategies and compare his critical arguments as a reviewer with the way he describes clergymen in his own works
