History Politics of Belarus: Peripeteias of Evolution by A. M. Ponamareva

“…This situation persists despite the noticeable decrease of the Republic of Belarus leadership interest in accentuating the European component of national memory after the events of August 2020, and, on the contrary, a pronounced rapprochement with the Russian historical narrative (primarily with regard to the World War II). The author claims that in these conditions, an uncritical perception of common historical memory as an unshakable cornerstone underlying the unity of the Belarusian and Russian peoples may prevent Russia from adequately predicting possible changes in the geostrategic aspirations of its partner.…”

Diasporas and Armed Conflicts: beyond Being “Third Party” by I. D. Loshkariov

“…The first case is the emergence and functioning of the 1st Polish Corps in 1917-1918 in Russia, which was formed when the Polish population of Russia was separated from their territory of origin as a result of the First World War.

New Orleans as the city of misfit women in Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938) and The Flame of New Orleans (René Clair, 1941) by Taïna TUHKUNEN

“…Viewed as a strikingly un-American city where cultural codes mingle and mix without, however, engendering a “melting pot”, New Orleans offers an engaging backdrop for filmic fictions challenging the archetypal romantic image of the “Old South”.This article explores two such fictional female figures who defy the vision of the pastoral South rooted in 19th century plantation novels in William Wyler’s Jezebel (1938) and The Flame of New Orleans (1941), a movie made by the French filmmaker René Clair during his exile in the United States during the Second World War. In the former, a Southern Belle named Julie Marsden (Bette Davis) transgresses the Southern honor codes, while René Clair foregrounds a dubious French Countess, Claire Ledoux (Marlene Dietrich) whose arrival disturbs the gentry of the famous harbor city. …”
