Abstract:

The article aims to show how the works of Polish historians viewed the activities of Alexander
Nevski. Whether it was complete biographical information or only cursory, selected facts that have been repeated many times in numerous publications, bringing nothing to the knowledge of this extraordinary figure. It is important that the biography of Alexander Nevsky has not been published in Poland, and all information about him is scattered around publications on various topics.

Key words: Alexander Nevsky, Polish historiography, 19th–21st centuries, publications.

Author: Kościelniak, Karol — doctor of history, Associate Professor at the Faculty of History at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.

PHJ No 4 (36) 2022 – Y.M.Shepilova, Yu.P.Baskakova, E.I.Nosova, S.L.Itarilova. Technical and technological expertise and attribution of the portrait of S.A.Yesenin

Originally the portrait of S.A. Yesenin was attributed as a photograph dated by 1925. The portrait was not printed on photographic paper, but on typographic paper, since it is too thin and puffy, with no emulsion or barite layers. Microscopy of the image showed that the portrait was printed by phototype, i. e., it is a high-quality reproduction from a photograph. This portrait is one of a series of photos with S.A. Yesenin, made in Baku in photo studio of L.G. Bregadze in 1924. Thus it is revealed that the portrait of S.A. Yesenin under investigation is a reproduction of a photograph, printed on a sheet of offset paper, cut out from a book, brochure or magazine. The date of the portrait was revised: 1924, not 1925, as printed under the portrait.

PHJ № 1 (33) 2022 — T. V. Andreeva. IN THE SERVICE OF RUSSIA: STATESMEN OF SWEDISH-FINNISH ORIGIN IN THE 19TH — EARLY 20TH CENTURIES

The article examines the political and official biographies of dignitaries — immigrants from Finland, who were in the 19th — early 20th centuries members of the State Council, studied the factors of their career growth in the structure of administrative institutions of the Russian Empire, identified the main principles of the personnel policy of the imperial government in the context of the highest Finnish bureaucracy, determined the socio-political rationale for its service in Russia. It has been demonstrated that the appointment of representatives of the highest bureaucracy of Finland in different periods of Russian history as members of the State Council, heads of the most important Russian ministries, was determined by both objective political processes associated with a special Finnish imperial policy and subjective preferences and personal relationships of representatives of the reigning dynasty.

PHJ No 4 (36) 2022 – A.Yu.Stefanenko. Logging during the siege of Leningrad

The article dwells on the issues of labour organisation at forest camps during the siege of Leningrad. The extensive nature of timber harvesting has prevailed before the blockade and continued to persist during the siege. During the blockade, the city administration rejected to use only repressive methods and increased measures to motive workers by the food supply. Despite this, logging continued to be a problem due to the growing demand for wood for Leningrad industry.
