Sapiehowie to jeden z najpotężniejszych rodów magnackich Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego, wywodzący się z ziem dzisiejszej Białorusi i Rosji. Jeden z nich Iwan Sapieha był pierwszym wojewodą podlaskim. W 1512 r. został właścicielem wsi Dubno, gdzie od przełomu XVI i XVII w. funkcjonował zespół dworski, który na przełomie XIX i XX w. został zrujnowany i zapomniany. W latach 2006–2010 i 2013 przeprowadzono wykopaliskowe badania archeologiczne, m.in. dzięki dotacjom z Europejskiego Funduszu Rozwoju Regionalnego w ramach Programu Sąsiedztwa Polska-Białoruś-Ukraina INTERREG IIIA/TACIS CBC 2004-2006 oraz Ministerstwa Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego. Prace archeologiczne uzupełniono badaniami nieinwazyjnymi, geomorfologicznymi, przyrodniczymi, fotografią lotniczą oraz stosownymi kwerendami źródłowymi. Prace te przyniosły niezwykle interesujące rezultaty. Okazało się bowiem, że odkryto ukryte pod powierzchnią ziemi relikty tej rezydencji. W efekcie przeprowadzonych prac archeologiczno-architektonicznych można było zrekonstruować w znacznej mierze ten zespół rezydencjonalny składający się z pałacu, kaplicy, innych budynków pomocniczych, jak: karczma, oranżeria, lamus. Jednak najbardziej spektakularnym wynikiem było odkrycie pałacu, nazywanego Kamienicą Wielką. W trakcie badań rozpoznany został rzut kamienicy na poziomie parteru oraz zlokalizowany w piwniczce skarbczyk. Opisana Kamienica Wielka jest typowym dla XVII w. zespołem budynków dworskich. Jednak jest jednym z pierwszych na Podlasiu obiektów, które zostały odkryte w miejscu, gdzie na powierzchni ziemi śladami dawnej świetności były tylko ułamki ceramiki naczyniowej i gruz ceglany. Tak więc badania archeologiczne przywróciły do świadomości społecznej i wprowadziły do „obiegu naukowego” zapomnianą rezydencję Sapiehów, jednego z najznakomitszych rodów Rzeczpospolitej Szlacheckiej.

Podstawowym celem artykułu jest uzupełnienie wiedzy o działalności kolonii polskiej w Harbinie (Mandżuria) poprzez analizę niepublikowanych dokumentów archiwalnych dotyczących tego tematu. Dokumenty uzupełniają już istniejące publikacje, dotyczące roli Polaków w procesie planowania i budowy Kolei Wschodniochińskiej (KWŻD) oraz eksploatacji tej drogi handlowej z wykorzystaniem najważniejszego węzła kolejowego, którego architektami byli Polacy, Harbinu. Okres, którego dotyczy analiza, to koniec XIX – połowa XX w. Szczególna uwaga została zwrócona na dbałość Polonii harbińskiej o zachowanie tożsamości narodowej. Dużą rolę odgrywał przy tym Kościół katolicki oraz szkoły polskie założone w Mandżurii. Wartości, które towarzyszyły funkcjonowaniu instytucji edukacyjnych oraz religijnych oparte na zasadach tolerancji i akceptacji różnorodności oraz zaangażowanie Polaków w rozwój gospodarczy Mandżurii, mogą być ważnym elementem polskiego soft power wobec Chin i budowania wizerunku Polski.

The article is an attempt to assess the effects of the 2018 reform of local electoral law on a medium scale. The main goal is to investigate the consequences of these changes for the model of political rivalry. Through the use of a selection of quantitative methods, the authors verify hypotheses regarding the proportionality of local elections and the mechanical effect of the electoral system. The overall aim is to establish to what extent the new electoral system deforms the voting results when distributing seats among the electoral committees. Apart from the hypotheses, the authors also verify whether Łódź Voivodeship is a suitable case study and representative of national trends.

The article aims to show the integration processes in Southeast Asia, with regard to the participation of Russia, and to determine the reason why Russia takes part in them. Based on the demonstration of the international process, two theses have been proven: (1) The project of establishing a Greater Eurasia with the participation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and ASEAN is a grandiose and strategic goal for Russia. The project is supposed to recall the traditional policy conducted by Russia, consisting of it playing the role of a bridge between Asia and Europe drawing China’s attention to this alternative proposal to the Chinese concept of the Belt and Road Initiative. (2) Russia is a player in the geopolitical game in Southeast Asia, even though it is perceived as the closest ally of China. Under the circumstances, where the relations with the EU have been destabilised, it is in the interest of Russia to further the integration and stabilisation of the region with its more active participation. Russia’s more active participation in regional integration is hampered by its low level of economic cooperation with countries in the region and its image: the activities of Russia are still perceived through the prism of the actions and interests of China, its strategic ally both on a regional as well as global scale.

The importance of social responsibility has an everymore prominent position. This is since the world is increasingly interconnected and globalization is constantly moving forward. The aim of the paper is to analyse the activities of social responsibility of a selected company: Bosch, and then propose specific recommendations for further development of the company. It is based on analysis of company reports, interviews with managers and a questionnaire survey. The Bosch Group is a leading global supplier of technology and services. We focused on the plant in Jihlava, in the Czech Republic. The findings show that most employees know the concept of CSR and perceive it as a positive matter and want their employer to behave according to this concept. According to them, the greatest attention should be paid to the social pillar. The survey shows that the employees know the values of the company in which they work. In terms of communication with employees with regards to the activities of CSR, it is at a high level. Finally, recommendations are proposed, including ones concerning problems with transport, eco-labels, communication and employee support.

The article actualizes the issue of political correctness and the need to develop tools for its further study. Political correctness is considered in the context of gender studies and power relations. The concept of attitudes towards political correctness is revealed, and an attempt is also made to reveal the mechanism of the formation of linguistic attitudes in the mass consciousness through the prism of the concepts of Stephen Lukes and Patricia Hill Collins. The historical and theoretical foundations of the formation of intersectionality are also considered. Intersectionality is focused on the study of hierarchical differences between individuals and groups, depending on the complex intersections of their position in society, determined by many parameters. Respectively, the intersectional approach to the analysis of power and language allows us to solve a number of methodological difficulties associated with the combination of macro and micro levels, which makes possible the further empirical analysis of political correctness directly as a social phenomenon, while taking it out of the linguistic sphere. Political correctness is studied as a formal embodiment of intersectionality, taking into account all the features of cross-identity in linguistic practices. The use of the intersectional method makes it possible to reveal political correctness not only as speech prescriptions, but as a multi-component phenomenon that must be considered in close connection with various kinds of discrimination. The role of power, as the main element, in the mechanisms of interiorization of attitudes towards political correctness is revealed. We highlight the role of symbolic power in ensuring voluntary consent, which is the basis for political correctness and ensures its relatively stable nature. The possibility of using discourse analysis as one of the main methods of studying political correctness is substantiated.

This article analyses the parliamentary elections held in the Republic of Moldova in 2021, as a result of which the right-wing party, formerly in opposition, won, and was able to form its own single-party government with a parliamentary majority, which has not happened in Moldova exactly 20 years – since 2001. In this article the basic positions of the “left” and “right” political camps in the Republic of Moldova before the elections are analysed; as well as the mechanics of the electoral campaign and the voting process in different socio-geographical profiles. In 2021 The Republic of Moldova, for the first time in many years, faced the phenomenon of “overturning elections”; understanding the mechanics of which contributes to the development of a much better political and electoral process in general. At the same time, despite the special nature of the 2021 elections, the electoral political process in the Republic of Moldova continues to show several fixed tendencies, such as the geographical polarization of Moldovan voters residing in the EU or Russia, and the overall objective decrease of interest in the electoral process in general, regardless of the degree of the political and social representation of the political parties represented in the elections.

This article examines the phenomenon of solitary living as a consequence of the processes of individualization that are characteristic of the entire modern world. The urgency of this problem arises from the increase in the number of individuals who prefer to live alone. Although this trend is typical for Eastern Europe, as it is for the rest of the world, it is not widely considered in scientific circles. Whilst analyzing scientific literature in different spheres (philosophy, economics, psychology, sociology) and statistical data on solitary living, the author has come to the conclusion that to describe the phenomenon in a sociological vein, it is most appropriate to consider solitary living as a “solo-living” lifestyle. The article also examines the main studies of solitary living in Eastern Europe, and through such work, it was concluded that there is not enough research: current research mainly considers single living among the older generation, despite the fact that the number of young people who prefer this lifestyle continues to grow. In the course of the study, the author was faced with the problem of layering related concepts: solos, singles, solo-living, single-person households, and others. To avoid this problem, the author distinguishes between these concepts and makes an attempt to conceptualize the concept of “solo-living”, offers the author’s definition, and outlines further research prospects.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was one of the philosophic giants of the nineteenth century. Well versed in both ancient and more recent philosophical tracts, he rejected the individualism of Hobbes and Locke, as well as their notion that the state was an agency set up in the first place to protect life and property, and, drawing inspiration from Aristotle, outlined a vision of the state as an agency bound, in the first place, to protect the weak and the powerless. Hegel further rejected Kant’s individualistic ethics and counseled that ethical behavior had to be understood as taking place in a social context, with real duties toward other people. For Hegel, an individual had rights and duties within the context of the family, in the community, and, as a citizen, vis-à-vis the state. He emphasized the network of duties in which each individual finds himself, urging political moderation and concern for the good of the entire community. He has been condemned as a proto-totalitarian, lauded as a democrat of sorts, and described variously as liberal, anti-liberal, authoritarian, conservative-monarchist, and constitutionalist. This essay will argue that Hegel came to champion a constitutional-legal order (Rechtsstaat) under an autocratic monarch, with protection for liberal values. The absolute authority of the monarch, thus, was limited to those powers which he needed in order to advance and protect the interests of the citizens of the realm.

The absolute authority of the monarch, thus, was limited to those powers which he needed in order to advance and protect the interests of the citizens of the realm.","PeriodicalId":33400,"journal":{"name":"Eastern Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46990314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model of three-sector synergy in a contemporary state rests on cooperation between the first (state) sector, the second (commercial) sector, and the third sector – the civil one, also referred to as the non-commercial sector. The quest for an optimal solution and the establishment of mutual relations is underpinned by the concept of the reorganization of Russian society with regard to its political modernization; this is accompanied by a variant of social agreement that guarantees citizens equality before the law, and the protection of their rights along with simultaneous compliance with the law. What complements the image of Russia’s contemporary reality is the goal of non-governmental, non-commercial organizations – not only to survive but also to develop a modus vivendi in the circumstances of an authoritarian state.
