Abstract:This article examines the figure of an outstanding Polish philologist — Maria Renata Mayenowa (1908–88) — attempting to interpret her life trajectory with the help of sociological tools. It is argued that Mayenowa's biography is significant in the context of the history of Polish, as well as Eastern European intellectual thought, for several reasons. First, it can be helpful in the reconstruction of the Polish involvement in the development of social theory in the twentieth century. Second, it provides insight into Polish-Russian, and more broadly, Polish-Eastern European intellectual relations in the twentieth century. Finally, the third reason is the non-obvious forms in which the history of Eastern European Jewish elites, and in particular the Jewish bourgeoisie, manifested itself in her biography.

Abstract:Liudmila Ulitskaia's 2019 volume of stories, The Body of the Soul (O tele dushi), humanizes the end of life and counters harmful mythologies about ageing as well as dying in Russian culture. Ulitskaia, one of the nation's most prominent living authors, was the first woman to receive the Russian Booker Prize. The Body of the Soul repeats scenes and images from her previous fiction to explore how telesnost´ (corporeality) is its own cosmos of meaning. This contradicts assumptions dominating Russian culture over the past century and connects her older characters to the intelligentsia, which struggled to survive in the Soviet era and its aftermath. The Body of the Soul represents how the individual, often apolitical lives of older characters quietly contradict state ideals.

The texts attributed to Prince Andrei Kurbskii, notably his correspondence with Ivan IV and his History of the Grand Prince of Moscow , and to Ivan himself, first and foremost letters responding to Kurbskii, have long been central to historical analyses of Ivan’s rule and reign, providing unequalled evidence of Ivan’s political ideology in particular. Karamzin’s conceptualization of the two periods of Ivan’s reign, the ‘good’ Ivan of the reforms (1547–64) and the ‘bad’ Ivan’s reign of terror, the oprichnina (1565–72)
