    This article is dedicated to the legendary Russian museum figure Irina Antonova (20.03.1922 — 30.11.2020), who worked at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts for 75 years, 52 years of which as its director. The development of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts under the leadership of Irina Antonova is seen by the author of this article as part of the evolution of museum work in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The article emphasizes that the Pushkin Museum was often ahead of its time, laying the groundwork for major changes. For example, with the opening of the Museum of Private Collections as part of the State Museum of Fine Arts, the rehabilitation of private collecting in the country took place. The December Nights festival created by Irina Antonova in collaboration with the brilliant pianist Svyatoslav Richter in 1981 became a matrix of art festivals that took place in various museums of the country during the following decades. The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts was charged with promoting Western art in the USSR, of which it brilliantly took the advantage when started displaying works by Picasso, Matisse, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, masterpieces of drawing from the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Western European and American paintings from American museums and others famous exhibitions. This is the visible part of Irina Antonova’s dynamic activity. She approached academic work no less thoroughly, as well as the organization of study and cataloguing of the collection of the State Museum of Fine Arts. And, of course, much credit must go to Irina Antonova for preparing the program for the development and reconstruction of the Pushkin Museum, which has been repeatedly revised and is being finalized before our very eyes under the direction of Marina Loshak

    Assessing Conditions for Influence of Interest Groups in the EU. IHS Political Science Series: 2005, 106

    Full text link
    An important factor for the ability of interest groups to contribute to democratic decisionmaking is the balance between their input and the political autonomy of decision-makers. This article focuses on the results of four case studies of decision-making in the fields of IT and transport in the EU. These case studies show that private actors do contribute to decision-making, but they are less influential for EU politics than anticipated. Based on the case studies, this article assesses how and to what extent interest groups contribute to decision-making in the two sectors, in the context of the EU’s political structure and, notably, its alleged democratic deficit

    Irina Adelgejm - tłumaczka (nie tylko) noblistki

    Full text link
    This article presents Irina Adelgejm, an award-winning translator of many Polish works into Russian, including books by the Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk. It shows the way to becoming a translator, the first encounter with the prose of Olga Tokarczuk and further stages marked by successive translations of her texts. It is worth adding that these were not only the translation stages, but also scholarly ones. Irina Adelgejm owes her reflection on the autopsychotherapeutic potential of the word in literature to the book The Last Stories by Olga Tokarczuk, which in turn became the impetus for her to write a book of over 600 pages – Psychology of Poetics. Autopsychotherapeutic functions of a literary text (on the material of Polish prose in the years 1990–2010). In the article the word “way” is often used because it is a metaphor for the translation process: the desire to follow the author’s footsteps, to walk carefully, step by step, word for word. In this context, the subject of experiencing the translated text, assimilating it by the awareness of even false memories, translation difficulties resulting from, among others, this profound experience of reading, but also from working with the realities, and – which is extremely important – responsibility for the translated word, and the issue of translation ethics are analysed. The translator often remains invisible, but in the end it is he/she, not only the author, who authors the text and he/she who signs the translated content with his/her name. That is why it is so important that the thoughts of the author and translator are related, and that the original is accepted.W niniejszym artykule przedstawiona została Irina Adelgejm, uhonorowana nagrodami tłumaczka wielu polskich utworów na język rosyjski, w tym książek Olgi Tokarczuk. Ukazano drogę do zostania tłumaczką, pierwsze zetknięcie się z prozą późniejszej noblistki i dalsze etapy wyznaczane przez kolejne przekłady jej tekstów. Słowo „droga” pojawia się w artykule często, jest ono bowiem metaforą procesu przekładowego – chęci przejścia po śladach autora, przejścia uważnego, krok po kroku, słowo za słowem. Poruszono w tym kontekście temat przeżywania tłumaczonego tekstu, przyswajania go przez świadomość do fałszywych wręcz wspomnień, trudności przekładowych wynikających m.in. z tego właśnie głębokiego doświadczenia lektury, a także – co niezmiernie ważne – odpowiedzialności za tłumaczone słowo, a zatem – zagadnienie etyki przekładu

    Shifting responsibility for social services as enterprises privatize in Belarus

    Full text link
    In Belarus, divestiture of social assets, a misnomer for fringe benefits that comprise a part of wages, is needed to transform enterprises so they can function appropriately in a market economy. Maintaining supply of these services after enterprise divestiture is an important public policy problem in transition economies. These fringe benefits, issued mainly in the form of housing and kindergarten services, were cut by at least two-thirds as a proportion of employee remuneration between 1994 and 1995 because of the economic downturn. This report debates whether most of these fringe benefits should continue to be subsidized or receive preferential tax treatment. A strong case is made for some government funding of the public health and kindergarten services, and public utility and housing services divested by enterprises. The reasons for assigning services such as education and health to local governments is debated and financing arrangements such as revenue sharing are examined. Among the problems cited with the latter are interregional imbalances caused by unequal resources distribution, tax breaks given to agriculture which has reduced payments to rural local governments, the absence of close links between beneficiaries and payers justifying extrabudgetary funding, and inadequate subnational government taxation raising insignificant amounts of revenue. Where transfers to local governments are required, formula financing is suggested for unconditional grants to low-income local governments and conditional grants to support specific objectives.Municipal Financial Management,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform
