Portret staruszki w rosyjskiej memuarystyce kobiecej XIX wieku
2016
In the present article has been analysed portrayals of older women which appear in the memoirs of the nineteenth century Russian women writers. J. Sushkova, A. Kern and A. Smirnova-Rosset in their memoirs most often depict remarkable family members such as grandmothers and aunts, family friends. They focus on the analysis of their personalities, spiritual values and kind-heartedness rather than their physical appearance and signs of physical aging. Among the old ladies portrayed in the memoirs we encounter pious women, wise, experienced, understanding and hospitable women as well as overbearing women or even hostile towards other people. It has been proved in the article that the old women…
Powstanie listopadowe we "Wspomnieniach" Nadieżdy Golicyny
2016
The article presents Nadezhda Ivanovna Golitsyna’s (1796—1868) memories of the Polish November Uprising. Golitsyna was a wife of a count Alexander Fyodorovitch Golitsyn (1796—1864), who was a high‑ranking Tsarist official. They lived in Warsaw, where the husband of the author of the Memoirs worked in the office of the Grand Prince Konstantin. Golitsyn was, most probably, a secret agent of the Third Division. After the outbreak of the November Uprising the Golitsynys, together with prince Konstantin’s troops, left Warsaw. The Poles’ struggle for independence is presented in Golitsyna’s Memoirs as a sudden and unexpected rebellion organised by a group of students against the Russian ruler. Go…
“Throwing into the Whirlwind Vortex”: Unaccounted Memoirs about Blok by S. Korenev
2021
The article examines certain plots of the “Blok theme” in the 1920s Riga periodicals, which had not previously attracted the attention of researchers. The Russian press of independent Latvia (1919 –1940) has preserved many tens, if not hundreds, of articles, correspondences, documents, poetic texts dedicated to A.A. Blok’s personality and works. Among them are memoirs of people who were familiar with the poet, met with him, listened to his speeches. However, most of these scattered memoirs remain forgotten and are not taken into account in the Blok studies. The author recalls the texts of V.V. Tretyakov, A.M. Perfiliev and republishes from the Riga newspaper “Slovo” a memorial article about…
