The year 1914 and L'viv and Galicia

Because of the 100th anniversary of the begin of World War I there are more publications about this turning point in the history. I wrote an article about the meaning of the year 1914 for L'viv and Galicia. I also wrote about the meaning of Galicia for the states Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and Russian Imperium at that time. I've analysed the press and the memoires.

Jabłonowski as a military symbol of the region and his meaning for L'viv

Commemoration of cities' and villages' founders is a very important part of the local identity.

On July, 12 (2012) Kosmach (near to Ivano-Frankivsk, former Slanislawow) celebrated the anniversary of the establishment of the village Kosmach . On this occasion a conference was held. I was invited to give a speech and write an essay on Jabłonowski as a military symbol of the region and his meaning for the region.

Fluctuating memory

Collective, individual, cultural or communicative memory are very well known in the science. But what is fluctuating or ambiguous memory?

I came to this conclusion in regard to my analyse of monuments in L'viv between 1867 and 1939. "Ambiguous memory" means that the memory on one person or event is differential for different society groups and even individuals.
