Women-translators in Russia
2011
The paper considers the history of women’s involvement in translation in Russia. The emphasis is laid on social issues of women translators’ work. The main problems discussed are as follows: How have women contributed to social and literary processes? To what extent were translational activities of women different and/or separate from those of men? Women participated in all major social processes in Russian and Soviet history. From the eighteenth century onwards to the present day, they have been involved in translational work and other types of social-systemic transfer (primarily from the West). Women played their role of translators in the same spheres where men did.

Oświata w warunkach polskiej sowieckiej autonomii w ZSRS w latach 1925-1939
2017
Oświata w stalinowskim Związku Sowieckim była jednym z najważniejszych narzędzi indoktrynacji obywateli wszystkich narodowości. Ponad 1,2 min. Polaków zamieszkałych w okresie międzywojennym w tym kraju zostało poddanych obróbce ideologicznej ze szczególną starannością. Uwarunkowane to było następującymi przyczynami: • obecnością w Związku Sowieckim stosunkowo licznej grupy komunistów polskich, zajmujących bardzo ważne stanowiska w partii komunistycznej i administracji sowieckiej; • obawami kierownictwa sowieckiego co do możliwości wybuchu nowej wojny polsko-sowieckiej; • koniecznością destabilizacji sytuacji wewnętrznej w II Rzeczypospolitej; • zadaniem stworzenia w ZSRS swoistego „polskieg…
The role of Finnish leftists in Soviet-Finnish artistic exchanges during the late socialist period
2020
The article examines artistic exchanges between the USSR and Finland from the viewpoint of the Finnish left. After WWII, Finland was in a difficult geopolitical position; although not occupied by the USSR, it received little support from the West and so remained an independent capitalist democracy, with little foreign leverage. The Soviet influence was felt in many areas, and throughout the Cold War, Finland received many more world-class Soviet artists than any other Western country. This was in part a consequence of Finland’s proximity to the USSR, but the Finnish Communist Party, a major domestic political force, also played a role. Immediately after the war, organizations associated wit…

2021
From Historical Legacy to Self-Determined Language(s) Policy? Literary Multilingualism in Lithuania and Latvia. The first part of this article looks at Soviet language(s) policy. Two further parts discuss language(s) policy and literary multilingualism in Lithuania and Latvia. The aim is not to provide a differentiated investigation, but to show similarities and differences as well as tendencies in the language(s) politics of the two states from the 19th century to the present in the mirror of literature and to explain them using case studies. In the fourth, concluding part, literary translation is highlighted as one of the formats for implementing multilingualism outside the text with part…
Intoa ja idealismia varhaisessa Neuvostoliitossa
2018
Vesa-Matti Lahden Siperia kutsuu! ja Julia L. Mickenbergin American Girls in Red Russia ovat taiten laadittuja tietokirjoja, jotka perustuvat osittain samoihin alkuperäislähteisiin. Lahden teos valottaa teollisen siirtokunnan elämää Siperiassa, Kemorovon kaivoskaupungissa 1920-luvulla, ja Mickenbergin kirja käsittelee amerikkalaisia naisia varhaisessa Neuvostoliitossa, osittain samaisessa Kemerovon siirtokunnassa. Myös amerikkalaisen toimittajan ja kirjailijan Ruth Kennellin hahmo yhdistää teoksia. Molemmat kirjat ovat kiinnostavia kurkistusaukkoja Neuvostoliiton ulkomaalaisten rakentajien arkeen. nonPeerReviewed
