The article deals with the contributions of five women to the introduction of social casework in probation assistance in the 1960s. These women, including Ruth Bang and Dora von Caemmerer from Germany, Rosa Dworschak from Austria, and Cora Baltussen and Marie Kamphuis from the Netherlands, made significant contributions to the modernization of German social work and paved the way for group work in probation assistance. The women were part of a transnational European knowledge network and participated in international conferences organized by the United Nations' European Social Welfare Program. Ruth Bang was a influential figure in probation assistance and published numerous publications on social casework and supervision. The text describes the work of probation officers and their training in social casework. It is mentioned that supervision was considered the only way to properly learn casework. Ruth Bang and Dora von Caemmerer were two important individuals who taught casework and supervision in Germany in the 1960s. The training of Albert Bickel and Cora Baltussen, who were also active in probation assistance, is also discussed. Rosa Dworschak is mentioned as another important person who had a psychoanalytic approach to casework. The text describes the professional backgrounds of Cora Baltussen and Marie Kamphuis, two women who made significant contributions to the development of social casework in Germany. Baltussen was a Catholic entrepreneur who established further education programs for casework and supervision in the Netherlands. Kamphuis was a social worker who advocated for professionalization of social work and published a textbook on social casework. Both women had different approaches and were supported by different networks, but they contributed to establishing social casework in Germany. The article focuses on the early days of probation assistance in the Federal Republic of Germany. It is mentioned that there was a lack of competent teaching staff and foreign experts were in high demand. The United Nations, foundations, and political programs promoted professional exchange. During this phase, women played a crucial role in the development of theoretical concepts and their implementation in practice. It is emphasized that the United Nations made a significant contribution to networking and Europeanization. It is also mentioned that the English probation concept influenced the discourse on the design of probation assistance in the Federal Republic. [Extracted from the article]

The Kinder- und Hausmärchen of the Grimm brothers are by the far the most successful German book on the international stage. But at what point can its status as a best-seller actually be documented? Archival material that came to light in 2016, as well as other sources on its reception, demonstrate that the book became a sales success in Germany much later than previously thought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theodorе Dreiser was invited to the USSR to take part in the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution. His visit to the Soviet Union that lasted over two months (November 4, 1926 — January 13, 1928) has been documented and studied quite well: Dreiser's Russian diary that he kept during his travel was published almost 30 years ago, and four years ago its Russian translation appeared. Another source is Ruth Epperson Kennell’s book Theodore Dreiser and the USSR. A First- Hand Chronicle (1969). A number of studies and scholarly publications are devoted to Dreiser’s trip; however, new materials and documents that contribute to more detailed reconstruction of Dreiser’s Russian journey still are being found in the archives. New documents from the funds of the All-Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (VOKS) that highlight Dreiser’s stay in Leningrad (November 26 — December 2, 1927) are published in the Addendum to the article: a report submitted to VOKS by Sergei Trivas, officer for Anglo-American countries, who accompanied Dreiser as a guide and interpreter, and a letter of gratitude from Dreiser to Nikolai Derzhavin, VOKS representative in Leningrad.

The review focuses on the book On “El Tungsteno” by César Vallejo (Sobre “El Tungsteno” de César Vallejo) by Carlos Fernández and Valentino Gianuzzi, published in 2021 in honor of the 90th anniversary of the publication of the novel in Spain. César Vallejo at the turn of the 1920s–1930s collaborated with the USSR, and his novel El Tungsteno became one of the key texts of his creative biography, especially its Soviet page. The book reconstructs the history of the writer's work on the text, identifies possible sources of the novel’s idea, and studies the book's reception in Spain, Latin America and the USSR. The novel El Tungsteno is considered in the context of César Vallejo’s literary contacts with the Soviet Union, his activities in Spain, and interaction with publishers. The second part of the book contains reviews of the novel from Latin American, Spanish and Soviet periodicals, as well as prefaces to the Soviet and Ukrainian editions translated into Spanish. The book by C. Fernández and V. Gianuzzi makes a significant contribution to the study of the work of C. Vallejo, to the study of his Soviet literary connections, outlines further trajectories of development of César Vallejo studies and fills many gaps in Latin American literary studies in Latin America, Europe and Russia.

Erskine Caldwell became known in the USSR in the mid-1930s through the magazine publications of his short stories and the Russian edition of the novel Tobacco Road (1938). In his correspondence with the representatives of Soviet literary institutions — Sergei Dynamov, Timofei Rokotov, Mikhail Apletin — Caldwell often discussed his plans to visit the Soviet Union. Caldwell and the famous photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White, who became his wife in 1939, arrived in the Soviet Union after their trip to China in May 1941, and thus started their acquaintance with the Soviet Union in Alma-Ata. From Kazakhstan the American guests went to Moscow, had time to visit Ukraine, Tbilisi, Sochi, and on June 22 learned about the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. They stayed in the warring country until late September 1941. As eyewitnesses to historic events, Caldwell and Burke-White worked as war correspondents: they reported from the USSR for Life magazine and the newspaper PM. Caldwell's reports and Burke-White's photographs were also published in the Soviet press. Since July 1941, Caldwell conducted daily CBS live radio broadcasts from wartime Moscow. M. Burke-White held a photo session with Stalin, captured the historic visit to Moscow of Harry Hopkins, President Roosevelt’s personal advisor. The article, based on the American and Soviet press and archival materials, reconstructs the history of the American couple's stay and work in the USSR and evaluates their activities as writers and war correspondents in the historical, literary and political context of the first months of the Great Patriotic War. Caldwell’s interview with the American Ambassador Laurence Steinhardt for Life magazine, which didn’t pass the Soviet military censorship is published in the Addendum.

The corpus of archival materials documenting Erskine Caldwell's Soviet contacts in 1935–1943, including his stay in the USSR (May–September 1941) comprises documents from the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art and the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation. It is Caldwell's correspondence with the representatives of Soviet literary institutions — Sergei Dinamov, Timofei Rokotov, Mikhail Apletin, Boris Suchkov, Aleksandr Fadeev, as well as official correspondence of Soviet ministries and organizations (Union of Soviet Writers, People’s Comissariat for Foreign Affairs, Customs Department of the People’s Comissariat for Internal Affaris), Soviet officials (Solomon Lozovsky, Konstantin Umansky, etc.) and their correspondence with the American media (NANA, CBS, The Life, PM). The epistolary corpus helps to reconstruct Erskine Caldwell’s and Margaret Burke White’s stay in the USSR, provides details of their work there as war correspondents. The corpus of documents opens with the 1935 letter by Sergei Dinamov, editor-in-chief of International Literature magazine, who started contacts with Caldwell (since 1937 the correspondence was continued by Timofei Rokotov, who replaced Dinamov in International Literature) and ends with the telegram congratulating Caldwell on his fortieth birthday (Dec 16, 1943), signed by the representatives of the Union of Soviet Writers Aleksandr Fadeev, Mikhail Apletin and Boris Suchkov, the last editor-in-chief of International Literature. This telegram sent at the end of 1943, the year of the closure of International Literature and the year of the turning point in the course of the Great Patriotic War (Caldwell was a witness to its beginning) draws a line under this period in Erskine Caldwell's Soviet contacts.

With their collages, Hannah Höch and Max Ernst left their mark on dadaism and surrealism. Archival material, recordings and self-testimonies allow us to reflect on the collage technique of the two artists. Their complex and multi-stage working processes depend on third-party material, inspiration and planning in equal measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Mehler family was a distinguished German family from Bingen in the 17th and 18th centuries comprised of numerous rabbis and communal leaders. In this essay we draw attention to the physicians of the Mehler clan, a father and son in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Though graduating just forty years apart, they represent the transition of the medical training of students of Ashkenaz (Poland, Germany, and France) from Italy to Germany. Prior to the mid seventeenth century, a young Jewish student longing to attend medical school had essentially one option, the University of Padua. By the early eighteenth-century German universities began to welcome Jewish students. Our father and son physicians straddle this period and reflect the transition of Jewish medical training from Italy to Germany. We have identified some remarkable archival material allowing us to provide also an illustrated history of their medical careers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes Montenegrin public discourse in the first years after the Second World War in the context of the political conflict between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in 1948. The research has been based on archival material, daily press, and texts in literary journals, and is focused on the change of public discourse towards the ussr, conditioned by the political and ideological conflict between Yugoslavia and the USSR. The historical and semantic-pragmatic analysis of the text, as well as the analysis of lexical cohesion and taxonomy, indicate all changes in public discourse that result from the political conflict between the two countries. The critical analysis of public discourse points to the justification of the initial research hypothesis that political processes had a dominant influence on the formation of postwar public discourse in Montenegro.

This article focuses on the professional writing of women in the transformation phase around 1800. Referring specifically to the woman of letters Helmina von Chézy (1783-1856) and her family, which participated in the literary market over four generations, it asks how authors could use paper(s) as assets or resources. It is shown that writersʼ papers were collected and kept as material evidence of life, that they could be an indicator of financial status and provide insight into financial practices, and that they were used particularly to position oneself (as a writer) and to relate to others. Within changing personal and historical contexts, the writing work of family members was based ultimately, in varying forms and shapes, on the logics of their social relations, lived as well as negotiated and recorded on paper. Thus, the papers used and inscribed in the family can be conceptualized as a multi-perspective kaleidoscope, offering new views on central aspects and mechanisms of writerly economies.

Writer’s dating life is an important part of his literary work. It either inspires the author to literary feats, or makes him unable to work successfully. The love life of the 1961 Pulitzer Prize winner Nelle Harper Lee has always been a subject of interest for her biographers, since information about it was carefully hidden. Ms. Lee did not give interviews, did not speak publicly, and answered “Hell, no,” for all requests to help create an authorized biography of her. In March 2018, Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, & Rare Book Library (Atlanta, USA) bought six unique letters by Harper Lee. They were written in the period from 1956 to 1961 and addressed to Harold Gray Caufield, a New York architect, whose biography has not yet attracted the attention of researchers. The author of the article, having read Harper Lee's letters thoughtfully, made his own investigation to uncover littleknown details about Harold Caufield’s personality. What kind of relationship did Nelle and Harold really have? The article reproduces photos of the probable lover of Harper Lee for the first time.

The German National Library in Frankfurt am Main presents the multimedia touring exhibition "History and Memory" by the Federal Archives. The exhibition showcases German history through selected archival materials and provides information about the functioning and structure of the Federal Archives. Visitors can use interactive stations to learn more about the work of the Federal Archives. The study "Significance, Use, and Access to Textbooks at Universities" shows that the majority of surveyed teachers are aware of the regulation in copyright law, according to which a maximum of 15 percent of a protected work can be provided free of charge for teaching purposes. The study also shows that the majority of surveyed students and teachers would use open-access textbooks more if they were more widely available. The Bavarian State Library has the largest digital data collection of all German libraries with 2.75 million digitized works. The Bach Archive Leipzig has digitized and published valuable manuscripts from the archive of the Thomanerchor Leipzig. [Extracted from the article]

Якутская песенная традиция Мегино-Кангаласского улуса В статье изучаются песенные традиции Мегино-Кангаласского улуса Якутии. Нотные расшифровки народных песен данной локальной традиции начали издавать с конца 30-х гг. XX в., когда Н. И. Пейко и И. А. Штейнман провели экспедицию в этом улусе. 12 напевов представлены в сборнике С. А. Кондратьева (1963) и 2 - в сборнике «Саха народнай ырыалара» (1975). По изданным сборникам и статьям в советское время в Мегино-Кангаласском улусе бытовали разнообразные жанры традиционной якутской песенности и помимо дьиэрэтии ырыа и дэгэрэн ырыа, в том числе существовали сатирические песни, исчезающие в тот период хонсуо ырыата и энэлгэн ырыата и др. В четырехтомном сборнике «Саха народнай ырыалара» («Якутские народные песни») выявлены еще современные песни, а также песни в манере дьиэрэтии ырыа и дэгэрэн ырыа. Предложено также дополнить этномузыковедческие термины жанрами отчут ырыата (песня косаря), туойуу ырыата (воспевание возлюбленной), суктэр кыыс ырыата (песня девушки, выходящей замуж), кырыыс ырыата (песня-проклятие). По мнению краеведа Иннокентия Михайловича Сосина фольклорные очаги Мегино-Кангаласского улуса располагались вдоль речек или на больших ала-асах. В статье также проведен анализ якутских народных песен на стихи П. А. Ойунского в исполнении И. Н. Колосова. Выявлено, что все песни представляют собой варианты одного напева, а поэтическая структура идентична структуре якутского кругового обрядового танца ohyoxaй.

Wax seals embedded in protective wax cups are commonly found in German archives. In German, this seal cup is called a 'Siegelschale' or a 'Siegelschüssel', while in French the combination of seal and wax cup is termed a 'Scellage sur berceau'. For a long time, the cups were formed by hand, but in the 15th and 16th century the cups were mostly manufactured by using moulds. While the literature is either vague as to the method, or describes their production as a process of casting heated liquid wax, this article can bring new clarity by introducing a wooden tool from the collection of the Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv that was designed to press wax cups. Aside from notes left by the former owner of the piece, the German heraldist Otto Hupp, and the publication of a photo, no information on seal cup presses could be found. This article studies the matter, including the results of practical experiments with a 3D printed copy of the tool, and the identification of comparable pieces. The rediscovery of this tool contributes to our general knowledge of sealing procedures. In addition to offering information about technique and design, the authors hope to inspire further research in sealing and chancellery tools and facilitate the identification of other such tools in archival and museum collections.

Статья посвящена 75-летию со дня рождения и 25-летию со дня смерти тувинского профессионального композитора Хуреш-оола Кара-Саловича Дамба (1943-1993). Личность и творчество композитора представлены в работах музыковедов фрагментарно. Личный архив X. Дамба считался утерянным и только в 2015 г. был передан родственниками композитора в кабинет тувинской музыки Кызылского колледжа искусств им. А. Б. Чыргал-оола. Воспоминания земляков и коллег композитора (собраны в 2018 г. У. О. Монгуш) являются ценными свидетельствами для понимания его сложного характера. Для музыковедческого анализа избран № 2 - «Звенящая нежность» - из сюиты для фортепиано «Три танца», созданной в годы учебы X. Дамба в Новосибирской консерватории (1965-1972). Главной темой пьесы автор избрал тему вступления из музыки А. Н. Аксёнова, созданной в 1943 г. для первого в истории Тувы женского танца («Звенящая нежность»). Прием, который применил Дамба по отношению к материалу Аксёнова, можно оценить как пример вторичного переинтонирования тувинского мелоса. На основе новых архивных материалов и воспоминаний в статье предпринята попытка более адекватно представить образ творческой личности. Назрела необходимость специального монографического издания о жизни и творчестве композитора.
