The novel Andrićeva lestvica užasa by Svetislav Basara is a critique of social reality and the idea of collectivism, where the only Serbian Nobel laureate descends to the level of banality. The central themes in the novel are the depiction of social reality, that is, the social distaste and crisis of the identity of the Balkan man who is obsessed with the problem of Yugoslavia, Yugoslav nostalgia, nationalism, "Greater Serbian" chauvinism and "Serboparasitism". In the Bosch style, Basara in the novel presents a grotesque picture of the world with elements of Bakhtin's carnivalization. The aim of this paper is to present the carnival image of reality in the novel, as well as to emphasize the function of the grotesque. In addition, spatial schemes and body position in the novel are considered, as postmodernist emblems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with the features of party building and organizational and political activity of the two largest Slovenian political parties -- catholic and liberal in the central Slovenian region Carniola -- in the late XIX-early XX centuries. The comparison of their activities takes place in three aspects: professional field, work to attract the masses, the conclusion of political alliances. At the turn of the 80-90-ies of the XIX century, on the initiative of the Slovenian Catholics, a split occurred between them and the liberals, and both groups moved to formalize their parties. While Catholics relied on the support of the largest class of Slovenian society -- the peasantry, the social base of liberals was initially much narrower -- it included representatives of the Slovenian liberal bourgeoisie and the petty -- bourgeois strata of the city, in the villages-wealthy peasants and teachers. The Catholics were the first to unite and immediately began organizing mass meetings throughout the country and creating district party organizations. Their party gradually formed into a widely branched mass organization with a clear and well-thought-out organizational structure. The liberals, unlike the Catholics, did not pay enough attention to the formation of a serious political and economic organization, and they did not have the organizational resources to create it. They abandoned the idea of creating a mass party base in the villages, relying on a network of secret proxies in the communities. The Slovenian liberals did not manage to create a cohesive and organized party. The catholic party remained monolithic. The liberal party split in the early twentieth century. Both Catholics and liberals founded competing non-political organizations in all spheres of public life. Each of the parties had its own teachers', students ' and academic societies, publishing houses and printing houses, press bodies and financial institutions. Thanks to the vigorous activity of the Christian socialists who were part of it, the catholic party began to implement a broad social program aimed at the poorest segments of the population. Catholics founded catholic societies for workers and artisans, peasant cooperatives. The liberals did not have such achievements, but they achieved success in the field of municipal politics and financial enterprises. The success of the Slovenian parties directly depended not only on their program political settings, but also on how clearly they were able to form their structure and organize their activities. And in this area, the position of the liberals was much weaker. After the introduction of universal and equal suffrage in 1907, Catholics became the undisputed political leaders in the Slovenian lands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article continues the series on representations of the ancient urban spaces in the medieval literary tradition and deals with the analysis of two fragments of the 'Illustrated Chronicle Compilation of Ivan the Terrible' ('Litsevoj letopisnyj svod Ivana Groznogo', below -- LLS), which describe the construction of the legendary Troy by the order of King (or, in Russian, Tsar) Priam. The first of these descriptions is included in the Old Russian translation of the 'History of the Destruction of Troy' by Guido delle Colonne (Guido de Columna) and covers in detail the external and internal features of the ancient city, the specifics of its settlement and the occupations of the citizens. Such a 'rational' approach, that is associated with the didactic elements of Guido's Latin 'History' and partly preserved in the Old Russian tradition, contradicts the picture of the construction of Troy, which is contained in the second (as part of the LLS) work on the matter of Troy, that is the so called 'Povest' o sozdanii i poplenenii Trojskom' ('Tale of the Creation and Captivity of Troy'). The latter is an adopted version of the South Slavic 'Pritcha o Kralekh' and, unlike Guido's 'History', is characterized by an emphasis on the mythological (or even demonic, according to the Christian interpretation of this episode) origins of Priam's Troy. In the light of Guido's scholar reputation among western readers it seems strange that his 'History' was combined with the 'Povest'' within the LLS. The duality of such a view on Troy origins shaped by this textual combination is considered by the author in the context of the medieval reception of Trojan legends in Western and Eastern Europe. Special attention is paid to miniatures, which illustrate the episodes of Troy foundation in the LLS and include a number of visual codes that possibly influenced the reader's perception of the images.
