Contemporary Russia: Mensch Putin
No full textDie ZDF-Doku „Mensch, Putin“ vom 17.2.15 zeichnet anhand von Stasi-Akten und Geheimdienst-Dokumenten ein ganz neues, sehr detailliertes Bild von Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin (62).
Schlug Putin wirklich seine Frau Ludmilla? Ließ er sich vom Schönheits-Chirurgen das Gesicht liften? Hat er im Wende-Herbst 1989 DDR-Demonstranten mit der Waffe bedroht?
Der Film aus der Reihe „ZDFzeit“ zeigt die Entwicklung des mächtigen Kreml-Fürsten vom kleinen Jungen, der sich in den Hinterhöfen Leningrads das Recht des Stärkeren erkämpfen muss und bei den Mädchen als schüchtern gilt, über den faulen, versoffenen KGB-Spion in Dresden, den Jung-Politiker Putin als zweitmächtigsten Mann in seiner Heimat St. Petersburg bis zum rasanten Aufstieg in den Kreml.
Interessant sind dabei vor allem die kleinen Details. Informationen, die bislang so noch nicht bekannt waren

Reviewer: Russian-Speaking Families and Public Preschools in Luxembourg: Cultural Encounters, Challenges, and Possibilities
Get PDFpeer reviewedIn the twenty-first century, multicultural encounters have become an experience that is familiar even to the youngest. In superdiverse trilingual Luxembourg, over 50% of the population are foreigners, and many of them do not speak the titular language of the country. Multicultural classrooms are studied very closely, but Russian-speaking students, a new but exponentially growing addition to the cultural mix, have not been studied yet in their journey of school integration. There is a gap between the parents and the teachers regarding perception of the content of the studies and family aspirations. Instruction in the Luxembourgish language, usually unfamiliar to Russian families, is not the only obstacle for a child to make good progress at school. The Slavic family group and the Cyrillic alphabet, different holiday calendar and traditions, as well as differences in behavioural patterns and educational models complicate the perception of implicit school rules both for the children and their parents. In this short ethnographic study, based on five in-depth semi-structured interviews with parents, qualitative data were analysed in order to single out the main challenges that Russian-speaking families face while adapting to the public Luxembourgish preschool, the first contact with Luxembourgish language and community life

Presenter: Designing a best practice digital workflow in times of war. Insights into the launching of the U-CORE project
Get PDFThis paper provides an insight into the ongoing interdisciplinary research aimed at designing a best practice digital workflow for the collection, research, and archiving of audio testimonies related to the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine. As the first and largest international documentation project of testimonies on this war, it serves as a continuous guide for similar smaller documentation initiatives. The documentation project, known as ’24.02.2022, 5am. Testimonies from the War’ originated as an ad hoc collaboration between loosely affiliated institutions in Luxembourg, Poland, Ukraine, and Great Britain in March 2022.1 It initiated with the development of a joint informed consent procedure and interview question catalogue. Nevertheless, we discovered differences in cultural translation, scholarly practice and disciplinary specialties in the implementation of our jointly composed procedure, which impact further decision making
100 Years of Russians in Luxembourg. The History of an atomised Diaspora
Get PDFThe historical work of the Russian-born migration researcher Dr Inna Ganschow describes the migrations from Russia to Luxembourg in the 20th and 21st centuries. The broad representation of the migration flows between the two countries is illustrated with a lot of data and facts and with numerous, often previously unpublished documents and pictures. A large number of individual and family fates are described, which can be traced to this day in the Luxembourg population. It is the first comprehensive publication on this subject. The book is based on several years of research carried out within the framework of the Center for Contemporary and Digital History of the University of Luxembourg (C2DH). Thanks to her language skills, the author was able to use Russian archives and gain new insights into, among other things, the history of the Luxembourg conscripts in Tambov. She also made contact with descendants of the emigrants in Luxembourg and discussed their history in numerous conversations, which are reflected in the book. The recent Russian emigration is also duly presented
Crafting a Best Practice Digital Workflow Amidst Conflict: Hands-On Solutions and Reflections on Ethics and Data Security
No full textThis short presentation delves into the ongoing interdisciplinary effort to create an efficient digital workflow for collecting, researching, and archiving born-digital audio testimonies from the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The U-CORE project aims to standardize, consolidate and archive the born-digital collected in Luxembourg, Poland and Ukraine data sets to facilitate ongoing and future research on the 400 testimonies. Three innovative approaches are presented. First, it includes an experimental research approach to engage with born-digital materials in the form of a preliminary qualitative analysis of the reflection of respondents on the digital display of their born-digital testimonies. Second, it displays a digital workflow developed within the project that guarantees interviewee security during war by means of encrypted recorders, secure external servers, and the two-factor identification media asset management tool CatDV. Third, the author reflects upon the ethical dilemma of compensating Ukrainian refugees for manual transcriptions of testimonies versus using automatic transcription software. Comparisons of AI-driven, manual, and mixed transcription methods are provided.
Lastly, the short presentations offers an insight into our discussions and negotiations on the final data repository and online platform for the testimonies to the 'Oral History digital' platform launched in 2023. U-AGR-7299 - INTER/NCN/23/17880643/U-CORE - VENKEN Machtel
Hands-On Solutions and Reflections on Ethics and Data Security for collecting, researching, and archiving born-digital audio testimonies from the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine
No full textpeer reviewedThis paper delves into the ongoing interdisciplinary effort to create an efficient digital workflow for collecting, researching, and archiving born-digital audio testimonies from the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Originating from a collaboration among institutions in Luxembourg, Poland, Ukraine, and Great Britain, '24.02.2022, 5am. Testimonies from the War' (WARTEST) faced methodological challenges in implementing a unified procedure due to cultural and disciplinary differences, as well as ethical challenges related to the collection and digital preservation of testimonies amidst conflict. The U-CORE project, initiated in January 2024, aims to standardize, consolidate and archive the born-digital data sets of WARTEST to facilitate ongoing and future research.
Using a digital hermeneutics approach, the paper offers an academic reflection on the ongoing key discussions and hands-on solutions related to the synchronization of metadata across the 400 testimonies. Three innovative approaches are presented. First, it includes an experimental research approach to engage with born-digital materials in the form of a preliminary qualitative analysis of the reflection of respondents on the digital display of their born-digital testimonies. Second, it displays a digital workflow developed within the project that guarantees interviewee security during war by means of encrypted recorders, secure external servers, and the two-factor identification media asset management tool CatDV. Third, the author reflects upon the ethical dilemma of compensating Ukrainian refugees for manual transcriptions of testimonies versus using automatic transcription software. Comparisons of AI-driven, manual, and mixed transcription methods are provided.
Lastly, the paper offers an insight into our discussions and negotiations on the final data repository and online platform for the testimonies. We display our experimental transfer of a part of the data to the 'Oral History digital' platform launched in 2023 and reflect upon our ongoing conversations with new Ukrainian digital repositories and platforms documenting the war.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
