Message-ID: <THU.31.JAN.2002.221214.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I am not an "expert", but my guess would be that something of the kind might
have been in the Rdziwill family place, in Nyaswizh (which is now in
Belarus). These unbelievably rich and powerful magnates had a European-type
court, a theatre (probably the only one in the Polish kingdom at the time),
a green house with exotic plants, several parks (English, French and
Japanese style); they supported "arts" etc. There could be a kunstkammern
as well...

Message-ID: <FRI.1.FEB.2002.170136.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Hi, Seelangovtsy!

Can anybody give me any ideas for where I might go to find videotape copies
of pre-1985 Vremya broadcasts? (The earlier the better!)  Especially wanted:
Brezhnev era stuff, but 1982-1985 (pre-Gorby) will do as well. I don't need
a lot, just some very typical broadcasts from the time. Any format (VHS,
U-Matic, 1/2" videoreel) and any system (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) is okay.
Obviously, I'd like to not have to go to Russia and pry this stuff loose
from ORT.

Thanks in advance,
Rich Robin

Subject: Library Internship
Message-ID: <SUN.3.FEB.2002.111723.0000.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear all,

I am looking for an unpaid intership at a library in the UK, greater London
area. I am a part-time Master of Library Science student at the School of
Information Studies, Syracuse University,  U.S.A. I am in the Independent
Study Degree Programme which is a distance learning programme that combines
brief on-campus residencies with study over the Internet. This is my last
semester in the MLS programme. In order to complete the degree requirements
I have to do an internship of at least 150 hours under the supervision of a
qualified librarian.

I am originally Bulgarian, and I have been reading this list on and off for
some years to keep in touch with issues related to Slavic languages and
literatures. I would like to learn more about the field of Slavic
Librarianship and I thought that the internship requirement is a good
opportunity to do this. However, since I moved to the UK (from the US) just
a few months ago I do not have many professional contacts in this country.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and information about UK
libraries (Greater London area) with significant Slavic collections.

Thank you in advance,

Anelia Boshnakova

Dear Seelangers,

One of my colleagues is putting together a film festival and he'd like to
include at least two Russian films.  His theme, as he describes it, is
"decadence" which is taken

Satyricon)
>or form (late modernism, etc.), or even films dealing with themes of
exhaustion,
>the end of cinema or of an era...

Would anyone out there have any suggestions for us?  I'd appreciate any
thoughts sent to me at mfrazier at slc.edu.

Thank you,

sokurov's "dni zatmeniya" (days of eclipse, 1988) and "mother and
son" (1997) would probably fit that bill.

Zdrastvuy tovarish,

Speaking of broadcast archives, would anyone on the list know of a
source of archive audio from Soviet-era All Union Radio?   Either full
programs or simply sounders/jingles would be OK.  A few particular
"targets" are First Program's "Posledniye Izvestiya," "Mezhdunarodniy
Dnevnik" and that merciless early-morning exercise program (with the
lady playing the piano, long since replaced by more modern aerobics on
Radio Podmoskov'e).  I stumbled across a studio recording of the intro
to the "Pionerskaya Zor'ka" program on a well-known music site over the
weekend, and am wondering if they exist for other programs also.

Tnx in advance.

Subject: Inquiry: Funds for a Ph.D. project (Czech language in the US)
Message-ID: <MON.4.FEB.2002.074058.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANG members,

I have an inquiry regarding funding of my Ph.D. project.
The title of the doctoral dissertation is "Dealing with new communicative
situations in a new environment - language of Czech/Czech-American
communities in the USA."
I worked on the project in Lincoln, NE (December 2000 - August 2001), where
I also taught a course "Czech Immigrant Experience in the US" at the UNL -
History Department.
The purpose and aims of the dissertation are to collect, document and
analyze the level of preservation and maintenance of Czech language in the
USA throughout immigrant generations of Czech descent.
There has been done a significant amount of research in the field, the
project can be successfully finished.
I would like to ask you if you know and/or can suggest any potential sources
of funding, so I can finish the project.
Regarding this project; a successful communication has been established with
Dr. Marc Greenberg (Chair and Professor at the Department of Slavic
Languages and Literatures at the University of Kansas, Lawrence).


If you have any questions/or should I provide any additional information
regarding this project, I will be happy to do so.

Thank you for your time, ideas and replies to this inquiry.

Sincerely,
Veronika Zavrelova

Subject: "decadent" films
Message-ID: <MON.4.FEB.2002.075937.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

There is a 1989 (?) film "Gospodin oformitel'; the central character is a 19hundred and smth. artist, living between his artistic decadent world of St. Petersburg and the city's slums where he falls in love with a teenage girl dying from TB. When several years later he meets an exact copy of the girl (even the dresses in the closet are the same), who died, as the wife of some rich butthead, it is not really clear (either to the viewer or to the artist himself) what is real and what is the product of the artist's cocained mind.

I could not think of a better "sample" of decadence if this is treated as a particular (artistic) trend of a particular period.

Dear List Members,

I thought you might be interested in the regular update on the annual
Summer School of Russian Language and Culture program in Tver, Russia.
Please share this message with interested students and/or colleagues.

For full information please check the web presentation at:
www.volga.net
or request for information package.

THE 2002 SUMMER SCHOOL OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND AREA STUDIES

Dates: JUNE 18 - SEPTEMBER 7, 2002
Location: TVER, RUSSIA

NEW! Visit our Summer School picture archive and talk to our former
students: http://www.volga.net/sumscharch/archive.htm.
Check this site for program information and updates in the coming weeks.

The International Institute of Russian Language and Culture and Tver
State University, with support from the Tver InterContact Group, an
independent educational and consulting organization, announce the
opening of enrollment for the seventh annual Summer School of Russian
Language and Area Studies in Tver. The program features intensive
training in Russian language and area studies complemented by an
extensive excursion program, the opportunity to intern at a local
company or do research, a unique opportunity to live with a hospitable
Russian family, and the chance to meet Russian peers. Program
participants are sure to fondly remember their visit to the heart of
Russia.

In addition to the core classroom program, participants will have the
opportunity to visit workshops and studios where they will study Russian
folk art, songs, and traditional dances. Weekends feature excursions to
area museums and sightseeing trips to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the
ancient cities of Sergiev Posad, Torzhok, Ostashkov, and others.

The Summer School is held in Tver, an ancient city on the Volga River.
The city is located directly between Moscow (170 km) and St. Petersburg
(600 km). The numerous and convenient transportation routes to Russia's
southern and northern capitals make Tver an ideal place to learn about
Russian culture, both that of the capitals and that of the provinces.
Tver itself, with nearly 500,000 residents, has everything necessary for
an interesting and active sojourn: museums, galleries, theaters, concert
halls, sports facilities, and night clubs.

The Summer School is open to everyone: students and teachers,
professionals and amateurs, and tourists and experts of all ages and
interests from around the world. Do not make the mistake of seeing
Russia through a tour bus window. Russia can only be understood by
living it!  The Summer School offers education, entertainment, and
memories that will last a lifetime.

For more information about any aspect of the program, please contact

Another decadent suggestion--the Soviet film about Rasputin released around
1984, entitled, I believe, "Rasputin."

Yes, and THAT's the Klimov film whose title was transformed to
"Rasputin" in anglophone sources. So we've come full circle.

Dear colleagues,
Is there an on-line, readable, dictionary in pre-reform (1917) spelling?  I
just want to check, e.g., if a given word was spelled with e or with jat' of
blessed memory.  I don't need definitions.  And of course, I want to be able to
do this sitting at my computer instead of shlepping over to the library.
(Also, please don't bother telling me all the inferences that would permit a
reasonable guess--there were jat's pronounced as /jo/.)

I also put the same query about a year ago, had no responses at all,
and tried searching in the internet. What I finally got is an alternative
version of "russpell" (this is, in turn a Russian version of "ispell")
adapted for the old spelling. I forgot the web site address and the
author's name, but I am sure you can find them.
  As to the original question, I say, no. The author has made his software
freely available to the public via internet, but does not provide the
service "on-line". I vaguely remember he was a physicist living in the US.
  I have copied Romashkevich (7th edition) to digital
media and use it privately. It is much smaller than the one in the web
site mentioned, but serves my purpose. (His is not based
on a particular dictionary. I find it extremely inconvenient. And besides,
I don't need words of Soviet origin.)

  I have once written a software that converted new spelling back to
the old (in 1980s), but having lost the interest, I seem to have lost it. When
computer memory was scarce, you needed an efficient program, but these
days, you can open a whole list of word forms in another window of your
favorite word processor and search any one of them (a million word
forms occupy "only" 10 megabytes or less).

  A piece of advice. For most people, digitized Dal' suffices
in determining jat'. Your software assistant may be able to extract
the list of words from Dal'...

Good luck and cheers,

Tsuji

-----
P.S.
For those who use Microsoft's operating system, I say, you need
a unicode font to handle jat' and thita ("Palatino Linotype" is
most recommended. It comes with Office98 or later). Dal' uses
its own fonts (it uses vowels with stress marks, which is not
coded in ordinary Russian alphabet encodings).

I just dealt with this last week, to the chagrin of my techno-gifted
husband. I ended up having to install XSerif Old Russian, which allows me
to insert the jat by enter alt+0134 for the capital and alt+0135 for the
lower case jat.

I would be fascinated to hear how other people have made their computers
"Old Russian friendly."

Dear Colleagues,

A student of mine wants to study in St. Petersburg this summer, and has a
couple of concerns.  Since I have not been in the Venice of the North for
a decade, I thought I'd seek out some more recent experience.

His concerns, brought up by his native Russian parents, are two: he has
been told there is a serious drug problem at the U of St. P and he wonders
about staying there; he is worried about his outward appearance and the
fact that he's olive-skinned, has dark hair and eyes -- he wonders if
he'll encounter problems on the street.

Have you any information from your own students and their experiences (or
your own) that I can pass on to him?

Thanks,
Eloise

Your student will not have problems with drugs, because either he will
desire them and have no problems in obtaining them, or not desire them
and have no problems in avoiding them.

As regards his skin color, he is probably going to have at least one
or two encounters with the local militia.  They are especially "nice"
at metro station Chernishevskaya.  On Nevsky at night is another
danger spot.  In general, tell him to ALWAYS have his passport and
visa handy, as well as a look of naive innocence.  Be serious and
polite during all encounters with the militia; they will likely treat
you with more respect in return (unless they are drunk, which is
unlikely, but...).  An air of arrogance is a sure "invitation to a
beheading."

In general, if he keeps his wits about him, he should not have any
problems and will have an invaluable learning experience.  Who knows,
he may even learn some Russian.

He won't always have his passport, because it will be taken away
from him, as it is for all temporary residents, for registration at OVIR.
For this reason enough money needs to be changed straight
away to last for this period. It may be 3 weeks before he gets the
passport back. Meanwhile it is a simple matter to take a good
photocopy of the inside back page of the passport and also of
the visa which will probably be clipped inside, and carry that.

Hi,

What your student should be doing is researching this on the internet. That
is where the most up-to-date travel information is always located, though of
course not always reputable!

One site I would recommend is the St. Petersburg hostel:

http://www.ryh.ru/index.htm

I would also recommend going to the Lonely Planet website:

http://www.lonelyplanet.com

They have a section about travel in Russia, as well as a wonderful message
board system called the Thorn Tree, where one can post questions about
travel in various parts of the world. I have always found this a very
helpful resource, as lots of experienced travellers frequent the message
boards. Also, he will find information from people closer to his own age. :)

The other thing to do is to go to a bookstore and look at the travel guides,
which tend to have honest information about any dangers in travelling.
Again, I recommend Lonely Planet, though I'm also fond of the Rough Guide
series. He doesn't need to buy them, as the best use of these awful new book
superstores is to sit on their couches and read without necessarily having
to buy anything.

Hopefully the registration won't take three weeks, but in addition to the
photocopy of passport pages and the visa, it is highly advisable to have an
official letter (with all the usual stamps, seals, etc.) from the agency
handling the invitation and registration (a school?) that indicates the
passport has been taken for registration.  Hopefully that is standard
practice, but some organizations don't do it unless they receive a
request.  In general, the more documentation of that sort, the better.

Thanks for your replies to my questions about studying in St. Petersburg.

I should clarify one thing about the drug question: it was not that my
student is afraid of being dragged into a snake pit of drug use himself
(that can happen just as easily here) ;  his father had been informed that
the problem at St. Petersburg State was so bad it was affecting academic
life there.  Judging from your responses, he has been misinformed.

Thanks again.

If you mean "usable by computers" by "online" (I would have thought
"online" meant "wire-connected", i.e. accessible via LAN, telephone, etc.)
there are three or four CD-ROM versions in the market.

The one you will find at http://www.ets.ru may suffice your need.
(It is based on the 2nd edition, not Kurtene's 3rd edition, unfortunately.)

Cheers,
Tsuji

three stanzas of which form the epigraph to Part II of "Notes from
Underground").

Every text version and Internet site I've found has only the second,
later version of that stanza, which starts with the line "Ver', ia
vnimal ne bez uchastiia."  However, I don't have access to a "Polnoe

Message-ID: <MON.11.FEB.2002.232901.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues:
1) Has anyone ever gathered information on courses in Russian and other
Slavic cultures? If so, can someone please direct me to the source? If not,
is there any interest in an attempt to assemble such a source? (I. e., what
courses and kinds of courses are taught where and by whom (past and
present), catalog descriptions or course justifications for curriculum
committees, whether oriented to language or general humanities students,
high culture or byt, etc.)
2) I would appreciate it if someone in art history (Russian) or someone
knowledgeable could answer questions on ca. a dozen Russian paintings. This
request does not entail research or reference. The questions have to do with
statements about paintings which an art historian would be able to answer
off the cuff, and about which a generalist-culturologist would do well to
seek expert confirmation (or correction).
3) I dug out a batch of old Russian culture course outlines, exams, catalog
descriptions, and information handouts. Please let me know if they might be
helpful to you in your course planning, and I'll send them on. (Please
provide regular mail address.)

Subject: Frere Jacques
Message-ID: <TUE.12.FEB.2002.160708.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I would like to know whether the children's song
"Frere Jacques" has been translated into any of
the Slavic languages.  If anyone has any leads or
could actually even send me the words to the song
in any of the Slavic languages, I would be very
appreciative.

A note on the relative popularity of the song among
children in the country of translation would also be
helpful.

You can reply to me off list and I will post a summary
of any replies that I receive.  Thanks in advance for
your help.

Dear Mark,

The Czech version of Frere Jaques I know goes

Bratre Kubo, Bratre Kubo,
Jeste spis, jeste spis?
Venku slunce zari,
ti si na polstari,
Vstavej jiz, vstavej jiz.

(Sorry about the lack of hacky and carky.)

I believe it is or was pretty widely known among Czech children, because I
first found it in a children's music book. Interestingly, when I use it
teaching Czech, I find that American students don't know it.

Dear Mark,

this song is quite popular with kindergarten children in Slovenia.

It goes like this:

Mojster Jaka (title of the song)

Mojster Jaka, mojster Jaka,
al' že spiš, al' že spiš,
Al' ne slišiš zvona,
Al' ne slišiš zvona?
Bim, bam, bom. Bim, bam, bom.

I will also try to find the text in Serbian.

Regards, Zoran

Hi,

Here are a few sites which give the words to Frhre Jacques in a
variety of languages, including some Slavic:

http://www.laukart.de/multisite/songbook/french.html#GlossF
http://www.solca.com/music/jacques/

http://ingeb.org/Lieder/bruderja.html
http://www.eit.ihk-edu.dk/subjects/cpp/music/brotherj.html

For example, the Finnish:

Jaakko kulta, Jaakko kulta,
herdd jo, herdd jo!
Kellojasi soita, kellojasi soita!
piu pau pou, piu pau pou.

Dear Jack, dear Jack,
Get up, get up!
Ring your bells, ring your bells!
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong.

I want to remind people that the deadline for early registration for the
Global Interdependence and Language, Culture and Business conference in
Chapel Hill, NC (March 13-16) is Friday, February 15. The last date to
reserve a room at the Carolina Inn is Feb. 19; rooms may not be
available after then, and those that are will be significantly more
expensive.

There'll be a workshop about teaching Business Russian, and we've added
more presentations dealing with Russian language & cultural issues (two
are still pending). The preliminary program is available on-line.

Message-ID: <THU.14.FEB.2002.100744.0800.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,
  I am helping to market these CDs for my Russian colleagues; I only have a
few dozen copies, and expect them to sell out quickly, although we might be
able to acquire more from Russia if you need them.
   Yours, M. Levitt

==


A limited quantity of this new INTERACTIVE CD-ROM is now
available:

“TRADITSISONNAIA KUL’TURA STAROBRIADTSEV
(SEMEISKIKH) ZABAKAL’IA:
Spravochno-bibliograficheskii CD”

(The Traditional Culture of the Semeiskii Old Believers of
Transbaikal:
A Reference CD)

Compiled and edited by Dr. Vladimir Kliauz (Moscow, 2002).

This unique CD-ROM contains video clips, audio, photo, and
textual materials on the Semeiskie Old Believers of Transbaikal.
The CD,  which is all in Russian, includes:

·   complete texts of many rare and inaccessible primary and
    secondary publications on the Semeiskie;
·   videoclips of various holiday and other rituals;
·   a complete bibliography on the Semeiskie, including
    materials on their history, material culture, music,
    language and folklore;
·   folk songs (including lyrics) as well as other recordings;
·   an extensive photo archive (including icons)

Requires Win98 or 2000.

This would be a wonderful resource for a graduate class on
Russian folkore or the Old Believers.  If you need a larger number
than I have available, I can probably arrange for more to be sent
from Russia.

Please also forward this message to your librarian!

Send a check for $30 plus $2 for postage and handling (sales tax
will be deducted as applicable) to:

In a back issue of SEEJ (ca. 1963?) you will find an article by me on Denis
Davydov's Hussar style. The word has no "blank" meaning for me--for some
reason or other hussars had a greater reputation for being "udalye" than,
say, grenadiers or cuirassiers. I know this is true for English military
tradition, and probably also for French. I would appreciate it if you would
let me know what you come up with in response to your request. Cheers.

My ignorance shows, I'm afraid. Any help on any of these here would be
appreciated.
Feel free to write off-list at: frosset at wheatonma.edu.

(1) One of my students asked about the Russian version of Ovid's
"Metamorphosis." I assumed he meant Kafka's version, not a Russian one,
esp. since he says it has to do with beetles.
But am I missing something obvious here?  Besides some odd human
regressions in "The Cave," and perhaps some of Sadur's stories, is there
something we consider a Russian version of "Metamorphosis"?

(2) Can someone point me to a good source that *identifies* the "hex"
signs carved at the very edge of the long wooden eaves on Russian izbas
and churches? I've been looking, but haven't found anything except for a
reasonable description of the "gromovoj znak," which I now think I can
recognize. I can differentiate the other designs, I just don't know which
elements they evoke/invoke/protect against.

3) Students who took both the folklore and the lit class noticed
the coincidence between Gogol' and one of the devil's names "Gogol'"
(Ivanits' *Folk Belief,* Ch. 3 identifies the origin of the devil's
name from "gogol'" the duck. Presumably that is also the origin of the
surname).
I have not found anything that discusses this in relation to Gogol's name.
Again, what am I missing?
-- Was Gogol' aware of this ... I gather his knowledge of folk-lore was
purely second-hand?
-- Would Gogol' or any educated Russians or Ukrainians be aware of this
tidbit of popular belief?
-- Does anyone know when the Devil came to be called "Gogol"? I see why,
but do we know when?
-- Has this been addressed substantively anywhere in the literature on
Gogol?

Thank you so much,
-FR

There is a good chapter on them in Alison Hilton's book, Russian Folk
Art. Indiana U. Press.

My impression of Gogol is that he had a strong first-hand awareness
of lore. As to whether he knew this particular connection, I do not
know.

Christopher Putney's book _Russian Devils and Diabolic Conditionality in
Nikolai Gogol's Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka_ (New York: Peter Lang,
1999) has a lot of information not only about various forms of "chur" (I'm
not sure offhand if he discusses the particular one you mentioned in item
#2 of your e-mail) and definitely covers Gogol's folkloric background in
significant detail. I don't have it in front of me, but I seem to remember
Merezhkovskii's _Gogol' i chort_ discussing this as well, but I could be
misremembering.

I wouldn't call it THE Russian version of "Metamorphosis," but aren't there
beetles in Pelevin's "Zhizn' nasekomykh"?

      This is often what is repeated about Gogol and folklore.  I think the
truth is that he had an excellent knowledge of Ukrainian folklore and that
he drew upon it fairly consistently for most of his writing career.  This
is a question that an ethnographer should really handle in detail.

Has anyone a reliable date for the movie "Hudba z Marsu" ("Music from
Mars"), directed by Jan Kadar and Elmar Klos, for which the music was
composed by Jan Rychlik?  The Internet Movie Database at www.imdb.com has
1954, the commercially available videocassette has a copyright date of
1955, and the recent biography of Rychlik by Milan Krizek ("Jan Rychlik,
zivot a dilo", Jinocany: H&H, 2001) has 1953.  Apologies for cross-posting
-- please send replies privately.  Thanks in advance

Subject: jat' in Unicode (was Re: Jat' on-line?)
Message-ID: <TUE.19.FEB.2002.175029.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Sorry for the late response -- I'm behind on reading SEELANGS.

Unicode has not deemed jat' irrelevant.  Unicode's Cyrillic character codes
can all be found at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf .  The
capital jat' is 0462, and the lowercase one is 0463.  If you have Windows
2000 or later (maybe NT too -- I can't remember), everything's based on
Unicode, so you should have this letter without needing any special fonts.
You can also get a Unicode font and run it on earlier versions of Windows,
but you won't be able to get to all the characters through Character Map if
you have Windows 98, for example.

In Microsoft's pre-Windows 2000 fonts (before Microsoft adopted Unicode),
jat' is not included.

<Alt> + (some number) works for ASCII code numbers.  I don't know if Windows
2000 still supports them.  If you have any pre-Unicode font that includes
jat' (some font you downloaded, presumably), you can probably access the
jat' with an ASCII sequence.  Try opening that font in Character Map and
clicking once on jat'.  Then look in Character Map's "status bar" to see
what ASCII code shows up.

No. On most non-international setup, e.g. US version of Windows2000 Pro,
you cannot read Korean. And jat' is a rarity (neither Times New Roman nor
Garamond has one). It is one thing that unicode registers a particular
character and quite another that it can be found on your unicode font.

Cheers,
Tsuji

A follow up on my previous message, with thanks to Tsuji Yoshimasa for
pointing out what I omitted and assumed.

A full Unicode font, called "Arial Unicode MS", comes with Office 2000 and
2002, but it does not come with Windows NT, 2000, and later.  Microsoft's
latest operating systems have fonts based on the Unicode system but do not
include the full Unicode character set in any of its fonts.  (After all,
Arial Unicode MS is something like 23 MB!)

You can find out about downloading Unicode fonts for Windows at
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/fonts.html ( for other operating
systems, see http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/index.html ).  From there
you can download Arial Unicode MS and many others.

Many thanks to all who answered my question: in fact I've had a reply
directly from the composer's elder son, who has consulted his mother, pani
Olga Simunkova-Rychlikova, and they have concluded "that the music [for
the movie Hudba z Marsu] was composed in 1954, and [that] the film itself
appeared in 1955", the date of the copyright on the commercial
videocassette.

Dear colleagues,

Would anyone know about "drinking songs" in Russian?  I remember reading,
somewhere, that they did exist among sailors and "workers," but I have
never come across any.

Any information, especially as to where I might find words and music, would
be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

A simple internet search using the English term "Russian drinking songs"
yielded hundreds of hits.  I used www.Google.com, which is the search engine
of choice.

There are anumber of folks song archives on the internet and most drinking
songs are 'folk songs' (a generalizied statement which may not always be
true).  One website asserted that these so-called Russian drinking songs
were not true folk songs, but instead composed lyrics dating from the 19th
Century or during the Soviet era - or even from popular films.

Enjoy researching!

I've taught my students drinking songs several times -- they love them, even
though the language is usually somewhat archaic and difficult.

A list of застольные песни и тосты (drinking songs) with all the lyrics can
be found in the ever-useful "culinary encyclopedia" at www.km.ru. The URL
is: http://mega.km.ru/kitchen/content.asp?rubr=20901#stop (your browser may
incorrectly parse that address so you may have to cut and paste the entire
address into your browser).

You can then listen to most of the songs (REAL audio) at www.rbcmp3.com.
Follow this link:
http://www.rbcmp3.com/store/product.asp?dept%5Fid=15571&sku=15623

Which is one of the numerous folk albums they have there (there are others:
http://www.rbcmp3.com/store/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=15571). You'll find a play
list. You can listen to streaming versions by going to the bottom of the
page and clicking CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM. You can listen to
Калинка, Катюша, Стенька Разин (my favorite), etc.

Happy singing & drinking!

This statement assumes that there is a valid scholarly distinction to be
made between "true folk songs" and "composed lyrics dating from the 19th
C..."  I recommend an article by Alfred Senn "Folklore in Eastern Europe",
Annali Dell'Instituto Universitario Orientale, Napoli 1970.  Senn argues,
with many cited sources, that what we call folklore is simply ancient and
medieval high art (Aesop, etc.) that drifts down and spreads over the
centuries to the "folk".  I have read elsewhere that the European folk
fiddle--Hardanger fiddle, Ozarks fiddle, etc., is just 18th C. waltz music
played at a much faster tempo.  So the "true folk songs" not composed in
the 19th c. or later were just composed (by someone!) in the 18th C. or
earlier.  The status of folk song can be earned rapidly.  I have met
Americans who were surprised to learn that the "folk song" 'You are my
sunshine' was composed by a governer of Louisiana in the 20th C.

An "altar" (in English) is an object (жертвенник = zhertvennik; also
престол = prestol in the ecclesiastical sense, not as a throne); it
never denotes a space. I would immediately rule it out as a candidate
term on that basis. We never use it in the sense of Russian алтарь =
altar' for "восточная часть церкви, где находится престол, отделенная от
общего помещения иконостасом" = "vostochnaya chast' tserkvi, gde
nakhoditsya prestol, otdelennaya ot obshchego pomeshcheniya
ikonostasom."

Lauren Leighton originally asked:

> Please, someone, tell me the Russian and English terms for the space

Webster's dictionary contains the following definitions:

"iconostasis" (Eastern Ch.)
-- a partition or screen on which icons are placed,
   separating the sanctuary from the main part of the
   church. Also, "iconostas."
   [иконостас = ikonostas -- pbg]

"altar"
1. an elevated place or structure, as a mound or platform,
   at which religious rites are performed or on which
   sacrifices are offered to gods, ancestors, etc.
   [жертвенник = zhertvennik -- pbg]

2. (Eccles.) See "communion table."
   [престол = prestol -- pbg]

3. ... [three more irrelevant definitions omitted -- pbg]

"sanctuary"
1. a sacred or holy place.
   [святилище = svyatilishche, храм = khram -- pbg]

2. (Judaism)
        a. the Biblical tabernacle or the Temple in Jerusalem;
        b. the holy of holies of these places of worship.
           [святая святых = svyataya svyatykh -- pbg]

3. an especially holy place in a temple or church.

4. the part of a church around the altar; the chancel.
   [алтарь = altar'. -- pbg]

5-7. [shelter, refuge = убежище = ubezhishche in various
     senses -- pbg].

"chancel"
-- the space about the altar of a church, usually enclosed,
   for the clergy and other officials.
   [алтарь = altar' -- pbg].

This last term seems like a worthy candidate as well (I defer to those
more learned in the Eastern Rite), inasmuch as the word (according to
Webster) is derived from Late Latin cancellus "lattice, railing, or
screen before the altar of a church," from Latin cancelli (pl.)
"lattice, railing, grating."

Re: terms for the area behind the iconostasis of a Russian Orthodox
church.  There are several terms involved.
         Russ. altar' = sanctuary, chancel, bema:  the entire eastern
portion of the interior of a church behind the iconostasis, usually raised
above the level of the nave and separated from it by steps.  More
specifically, it is the central portion of that area, where the altar
(Russ., prestol, lit. throne) is located.
         Russ. zhertvennik = prothesis:  the area or room in the sanctuary
to the north (to the left as one faces east) of the main altar, where the
Eucharistic offering (prothesis), or sacrifice (zhertva) is prepared during
the first part of the liturgy.  Prothesis also refers to the table, or
credence, on which the offering is prepared.
         Russ. riznitsa = diakonikon, or diaconicon:  area or room in the
sanctuary to the south (right as one faces east) of the main altar where
vestments (rizy), liturgical vessels and books are kept, tended usually by
a deacon (d'iakon).
         Russ. nef = nave:  the central E-W aisle or part of the interior
of a church, at the eastern end of which is the altar and main apsida
(apse:  semicircular or polygonal eastern end of the nave; and side aisles
sometimes end in apses as well).
         Russ. soleia = the area in front of the iconostasis, frequently
raised above the level of the nave.  The middle part of the solea in front
of the royal doors, or tsar gates (tsarskie vrata) is called in Russian the
amvon (ambo).
         Russ. kliros = that part, or parts of a church where the divine
service is sung.  The choir (khor) -- sometimes two or more choirs -- may
stand to the sides of the solea, or on a balcony, or raised gallery or two,
variously at the back end (west) of the nave or over the wings of the
transept (the main cross aisle running N-S at right angles to the nave and
in front of the iconostasis, soleia and ambo.
         Terms are not always used with precision.  "Sanctuary" may refer
to the entire eastern end of the church, including the soleia in front of
the iconostasis.  "Tribune" may refer to (1) a balcony or gallery inside a
church from which the choir(s) may sing, or (2) all or part of the raised
eastern end of a church, especially the soleia.
         To answer your question more directly, I would ordinarily use
Russ. "altar'" and English "sanctuary" for the area behind the iconostasis.
         Hope this helps without overwhelming.
         Those who may pass behind the iconostasis include hierarchs,
priests, deacons, lectors (readers), and other persons in the employ of the
church such as janitors and bakers of the altar breads, although passing
through the royal doors themselves is a special function and privilege
typically limited to hierarchs, priests and deacons.  Others would
typically pass through the north and south side doors, if the iconostasis
has them.

There's a slight confusion here between Russian and English.  The English
"altar" is in Russian "prestol" (throne).  The Russian "altar'" is rendered
variously in English as "sanctuary," "chancel," or "bema."  The Russian
"prestol" refers to God's/Christ's throne.

On behalf of the members of St.Petersburg Typology Seminar, I
regret to announce that our colleague, Natalia A. Kozinceva, a
distinguished expert in functional typology and Armenian studies,
died in St.Petersburg on December, 28.

Elena Maslova


OBITUARY (from St.Petersburg Typology Seminar)

Prof. Dr. Natalia Andreevna Kozintseva
(26 July 1945  28 December 2001)

On 28 December 2001 the Institute of Linguistic Studies of the
Russian Academy of Sciences (ILI RAN) lost its leading
researcher, Doctor of Linguistics, Professor Natalia Andreevna
Kozintseva. An outstanding expert in language theory, linguistic
typology, and Armenian and Russian studies, she died at age 56
after a long battle with cancer.

Prof. Kozintseva had worked at the Linguistic Typology Workshop
since graduating from the Leningrad State University (Department
for Structural and Applied Linguistics) in 1970.

An expert in many languages, she focused on Armenian studies and
became virtually Russia's only specialist in the Armenian
Grammar. She authored sections on Armenian in almost all
collective monographs of the Linguistic Typology Workshop of ILI
RAN including: Typology of Passive Constructions (1974), Typology
of Resultative Constructions (1983), Verb Categories and Sentence
Structure (1983), Typology of Constructions with Predicate
Actants (1985), Typology of Iterative Constructions (1989),
Typology of Imperative Constructions (1992), Typology of
Conditional Constructions (1998), and Typology of Concessive
Constructions (to be published). She is also the author of the
monograph Modern Eastern Armenian (München, LINCOM EUROPA, 1995)
and had published more than forty books and papers on various
issues of the Armenian Grammar.

Prof. Kozintseva made important contributions to Russian studies
as well. She was an active participant in the writing and editing
of the six-volume publication A Functional Grammar Theory
(1987-1996) (ed. Prof. A. V. Bondarko) for which she wrote the
following sections:  Dependent taxis (on the material of
converbal constructions) (jointly with T.G. Akimova);
Aspectual-and-taxis situations (with temporal localisation) in
multipredicative co-ordinative constructions; Aspectual-and-taxis
situations without temporal localisation (iterative taxis)
(jointly with T.G. Akimova); Qualitative characterisation meaning
in constructions with verbal predicates (jointly with T.G.
Akimova). Another important publication in this area was her
monograph Temporal Localization of Action and its Relation to
Aspectual, Modal, and Taxis Meanings (Leningrad, Nauka, 1991).

In recent years Prof. Kozintseva turned her attention to the
subject of evidentiality. She published three papers on this
issue: Structural and typological characteristics of the category
of evidentiality/non-evidentiality  (Typolological and
Contrastive Methods in Slavic Linguistics, Moscow, 1993); The
category of evidentiality: problems of typological analysis
(Voprosy Yazykoznaniya, 1994, 1 3); and Perfect forms as a means
of expressing evidentiality in Modern Eastern Armenian
(Evidentials: Turkic, Iranic and Neighbouring Languages, Berlin:
Mouton de Gruyter, 2000). The collective monograph Typology of
Evidential Constructions that she was preparing for publication
at the time of her death remains unfinished.

The last event in which Prof. Kozintseva took a most active part
was preparing for publication the proceedings of the Verb
Categories and Sentence Structure international conference, held
in commemoration of the 95th birthday of Prof. A. A. Kholodovich
and on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Linguistic
Typology Workshop of ILI RAN (2001).

Apart from her fruitful research, Prof. Kozintseva lectured for
many years at the St. Petersburg State University. She taught
courses in Linguistic Typology at the Philological Faculty,
Russian Syntax at the Faculty of Journalism, and Armenian Grammar
at the Oriental Faculty. From 1998 to 2000 she spent some time at
Institut des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (Paris, France)
as a visiting professor.

Throughout her distinguished career Prof. Kozintseva spoke at
numerous conferences around the world, including St. Petersburg,
Moscow, Vologda, Kemerovo, Irkutsk, Yerevan, Tartu, Warsaw,
Krakow, Torun, Bratislava, Sofia, Prague, Paris, Montreal, and
Istanbul.

Saying our last farewell today, we grieve that death took her
from us prematurely when she could achieve so much more. Alas,
for some reason, it is the way of the world that those who still
have so much to say are destined to go. Natalia Andreevna
Kozintseva was a wonderfully kind, responsive and unusually
modest person who radiated light and warmth. To us at the
Linguistic Typology Workshop, she was the good angel. And in our
memories that is how she will always remain.

Many thanks to Jack Kollman for a convenient little dictionary. An
additional subtlety for translators - although in English (primarily
Catholic and Church of England usage) 'altar' is strictly the
eucharistic table, in colloquial Catholic use, at least in England,
'altar' may also sometimes be used to mean the sanctuary (i.e. roughly
the Russian altar'), perhaps because it is the area beyond what were
called the altar rails (now abolished in most churches). It is not
uncommon to hear of  altar-boys 'serving on the altar', odd though this
may sound to non-Catholic ears! A further complication to the geography
of sacred space in western Catholic churches is that whereas before the
Second Vatican Council the tabernacle was placed in the centre of the
altar, and the priest said mass with his back to the congregation,
nowadays the tabernacle is most commonly placed on the rear wall of the
sanctuary while the altar, minus tabernacle, is now in the centre of the
sanctuary and the priest says mass facing the congregation. The
differences in liturgical practice between the Latin-rite Catholic
churches and Orthodox churches is sufficient to make precise translation
of many terms impossible, and the Vatican II changes could also lead an
incautious translator into anachronism.

         I know of 3 video series with great footage of the physical
culture parades of the 1930s.

         The easiest to obtain (no guarantees) is probably "Red Empire," 7
tapes, 5 hours?, Granite Production for Yorkshire Television, hosted by
Robert Conquest, 1990.  See Part 3, "Class Warriors" (re: collectivization)
and Part 4, "Enemies of the People" (purges).

         "Stalin," in 3 hour-long parts, exec. producer Philip Whitehead,
written and produced by Tony Cash, Thames Television PLC, co-produced by
WGBH, Boston, 1990.  See Part 2, "Despot."  Companion book by Jonathan
Lewis and Philip Whitehead:  "Stalin:  A Time for Judgement," Pantheon
Books, 1990.

         "Stalin, the Red Tsar," in 5 parts (about 2 1/2 hours?), Channel
54, producer Paul Neuburg, Director Howard Ross, London Weekend Television,
1978.

         If anyone finds where and how to buy copies of any of these,
please advise.

> I believe the English is "altar", not sanctuary.

An "altar" (in English) is an object (жертвенник = zhertvennik; also
престол = prestol in the ecclesiastical sense, not as a throne); it
never denotes a space. I would immediately rule it out as a candidate
term on that basis. We never use it in the sense of Russian алтарь =
altar' for "восточная часть церкви, где находится престол, отделенная от
общего помещения иконостасом" = "vostochnaya chast' tserkvi, gde
nakhoditsya prestol, otdelennaya ot obshchego pomeshcheniya
ikonostasom."

Lauren Leighton originally asked:

> Please, someone, tell me the Russian and English terms for the space

Webster's dictionary contains the following definitions:

"iconostasis" (Eastern Ch.)
-- a partition or screen on which icons are placed,
   separating the sanctuary from the main part of the
   church. Also, "iconostas."
   [иконостас = ikonostas -- pbg]

"altar"
1. an elevated place or structure, as a mound or platform,
   at which religious rites are performed or on which
   sacrifices are offered to gods, ancestors, etc.
   [жертвенник = zhertvennik -- pbg]

2. (Eccles.) See "communion table."
   [престол = prestol -- pbg]

3. ... [three more irrelevant definitions omitted -- pbg]

"sanctuary"
1. a sacred or holy place.
   [святилище = svyatilishche, храм = khram -- pbg]

2. (Judaism)
        a. the Biblical tabernacle or the Temple in Jerusalem;
        b. the holy of holies of these places of worship.
           [святая святых = svyataya svyatykh -- pbg]

3. an especially holy place in a temple or church.

4. the part of a church around the altar; the chancel.
   [алтарь = altar'. -- pbg]

5-7. [shelter, refuge = убежище = ubezhishche in various
     senses -- pbg].

"chancel"
-- the space about the altar of a church, usually enclosed,
   for the clergy and other officials.
   [алтарь = altar' -- pbg].

This last term seems like a worthy candidate as well (I defer to those
more learned in the Eastern Rite), inasmuch as the word (according to
Webster) is derived from Late Latin cancellus "lattice, railing, or
screen before the altar of a church," from Latin cancelli (pl.)
"lattice, railing, grating."

Yet more nuances. Paul Gallagher suggests chancel as a translation and
quotes a Webster dictionary definition. BUT the advisability of using
this word would depend very much on the context of translation and the
intended readership. Chancel in English has a dated, perhaps C of E ring
to it, and is now more an architectural term that a liturgical one. The
authoritative and non-denominational Oxford Dictionary of the Christian
Church (1997) says of 'chancel' that originally it was applied to that
part of  the church now called 'the sanctuary', and is now normally
applied to the whole area of the main body of the church east of the
nave and transepts (i.e. it works with older West European church
architecture from Gothic onwards but is hard to apply to Russian
cross-in-square or wooden church configurations). Under 'sanctuary' the
same work says: ' sanctuary, Greek hieraticon or more commonly bema. The
part of the church containing the altar ... in Byzantine churches it is
enclosed by the iconostasis ...' .
So sanctuary gets my vote.

Thanks. This is precisely the kind of information I was hoping for when
I offered the term as a candidate and said "I defer to those more
learned in the Eastern Rite."

A small footnote to this discussion and to Will Ryan's previous note
in order to suggest the confusion that surrounds these terms among
many Protestants in the US.  In my own Methodist congregation (which
certainly has not forgotten its English origins), located next door
to the University of Michigan, 'chancel' seems to have primarily a
liturgical meaning for most younger members (below age 50), since it
is used exclusively among them to identify the Chancel Choir (one of
five choirs).  I think a sense of physical location has essentially
been lost for most of them.  And 'nave' has been completely replaced
by sanctuary, the term that identifies for all church members the
entirety of the worship area, from the stain glass window behind the
altar to the narthex (also a term that would provoke head-scratching
among the majority, I think--I haven't heard it used spontaneously in
years).  This does nothing to advance this very interesting
conversation, I know, but it does suggest how fluid the meanings of
these terms have become in the West.

Message-ID: <SUN.24.FEB.2002.134016.EST.>

Dear SEELangers,

Many of you are subscribed to the AATSEEL Newsletter.  Accordingly,
it was not unreasonable or inappropriate for Jerry Ervin to inquire
here into whether anyone had yet received the latest issue.

However, please note that Jerry is the only one who was asking the
question and Jerry is the only one whom your responses may benefit.
Accordingly, you should not be sending your replies back to the list.

Here's an excerpt from the SEELANGS Welcome message:

--- Begin ---

Personal Replies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because each message sent to the list address is distributed to
all list members, personal messages and replies should not be posted.
If you wish to reply only to the original sender of a post, make
sure your reply is directed to that person and not to the list
address (seelangs at listserv.cuny.edu).  If you wish to contact only
one subscriber, yet do not know that person's personal e-mail address,
do not use the list address to write him.  Instead make use of the
SCAN SEELANGS command or write the list owners for assistance.

Example:  SCAN SEELANGS Smith

VERY IMPORTANT:  When you just use the Reply feature of your e-mail
program while reading a SEELANGS post, your reply is directed back
to SEELANGS, *not* to the person who posted.  Your failure to
realize this fact is what gets most people in trouble when it comes
to sending personal replies to the list address.

--- End ---

Please, remain cognizant of where your replies are directed
and where they ought to be directed.

Because SEELANGS is a discussion list, and because the aim is to
encourage discussion, the list is configured such that replies to
posted messages are sent back to the entire list.  If you know how
to read a mail header, you'll note that the "Reply-To:" field in
most SEELANGS posts contains the list address, and that's the
mechanism used to define the default "Reply-To:" destination.

However, just for future reference, if you should ever post a
message to SEELANGS and wish for replies to be sent directly back
to you, rather than to the list, then you can override our default
simply by inserting your own "Reply-To:" in your outgoing message.
If you want to see an example of that, look at the mail header of
this message, as I've inserted my own pointing back to the list
owners' address.  Methods for doing this vary by e-mail client.
Consult the Help file of your own e-mail program for instructions,
if you're interested in learning more.

Finally, if anyone would like his or her own copy of our SEELANGS
Welcome message, which contains all our list guidelines, just send
the command:

GET WELCOME SEELANGS

in the body of e-mail to:  LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

You can also view it on-line at our Web site.  URL is below.

Thanks.

- Alex, list owner of SEELANGS    seelangs-request at listserv.cuny.edu

Subject: Language Planning in FSU
Message-ID: <SUN.24.FEB.2002.140611.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGERS,

I am currently teaching an undergraduate-level course at the University of
Texas on "Language Planning and Language Conflict in Post-Soviet Eurasia."
The course, designed for students with little or no background in
linguistics, deals with issues of language standardization and reform as
well as governmental policies regulating language use in different social
domains in the former Soviet republics and the Russian Federation.
        To help put a "human face" on the issues we are discussing, I have invited
students from the former Soviet republics (both titulars and non-titulars)
studying here at UT to come to our class to speak about the impact of
language policy in their own lives and those of their families and friends.
The visitors have been asked to comment on such  issues as education,
access to jobs, language use in various domains, attitudes toward the
official (state) language vs. minority or non-official languages, attitudes
toward language codification and reform, etc. I have actually been quite
successful in finding guest speakers from the former Union Republics here
at UT, and have already lined up visitors from Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus,
Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. I have had much
more difficulty, however, in finding visitors from the national republics
within the Russian Federation; thus far I have only been able to line up a
group of ethnic Russian students from various cities in the RF to talk
about their reactions to recent language planning initiatives concerning
the Russian language, for example the creation of the Council on the
Russian Language, the current debate concerning the legal status of Russian
within the subjects of the Russian Federation, the efforts of the Russian
government and certain international organizations such as the OSCE to
protect the status of the Russian language in the "Near Abroad," etc.
        It has occurred to me that perhaps SEELANGS listmembers could help us get
up-to-date, first-hand accounts of the impact of current language policies
in the national republics of the Russian Federation. In short, my request
is: if you know of any students from the national republics of the Russian
Federation studying at your institution or currently living in their home
republics who might be interested in answering some questions (via e-mail)
about their perceptions of current language planning issues, please ask
them to contact me at: cfwoolhiser at mail.utexas.edu. We would be
particularly interested in hearing from individuals from the following
republics: Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Chuvashia, Mordovia, Mari-El,
Udmurtia, Komi, Kalmykia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachai-Cherkessia,
Dagestan, Chechnya/Ichkeria, Tyva, Sakha, and Buryatia (representatives of
the smaller, "endanged" languages of the Russian Federation, with or
without titular administrative units, are also welcome to respond). If
these individuals are living in the U.S., they should be relatively recent
arrivals (no more than, say, 4-5 years), or should have at least visited
their home region in the last few years.

Many thanks!

Dear Dr. Favorov and Seelangs colleagues,

>Was not, however, able to find the promised updated 2002 panel info on the
>AATSEEL website.

You can find the current list of panels proposed for the AATSEEL 2002
meeting in New York, 27-30 December, at the following site:

http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~djb/aatseel/2002/call.html

AATSEEL welcomes new panel proposals until 1 August. We update the web site
Call for Papers continually as new panel declarations are submitted.

I will take this opportunity to remind AATSEEL members, and those
interested in joining AATSEEL, that you are welcome to submit individual
abstracts to the conference as a whole, even if you do not see an
appropriate panel listed in the Call for Papers. The Program Committee is
responsible for finding a suitable place for all abstracts accepted in peer
review. You are also welcome to organize entire panels and submit abstracts
together for a panel you shape as chair or organizer. In all cases, each
abstract will be subject individually to double-blind peer review.

If you need to update your AATSEEL membership for 2002, please see the
following site:

Subject: New book on women's history
Message-ID: <SUN.24.FEB.2002.230704.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

A new publication on East European women's history:

Gendernye istorii Vostochnoy Evropy
(Gendered histories from Eastern Europe)
Elena Gapova, Al'mira Usmanova, Andrea Peto eds.

Language: Russian; 416pp.
Publisher: European Humanities University, Minsk

The book results from the 1999 international conference "Writing Women's
History and History of Gender in Countries in Transition" which was hosted
by the Centre for Gender Studies at European Humanitites University in
Minsk. The volume comprises texts by 29 authors from 13 nations of Central
and Western Europe and USA and invokes that part of East European history
which can be described as the history of personal as the political or the
political as personal. The book's topics include:
oral history: memory, trauma, narrative;
imagined communitites: gender and nation;
the miserable and the powerless: practices of exclusion;
gender and law;
contemporary history of the gendered individual: rites of transition.

The book will be available in the US through East View Publications
(www.eastview.com).

Please, contact me (e.gapova at worldnet.att.net) if you would want to see the
table of contents, and I'll send it as an attachment (Cyrillic).

From AATSEEL at COMPUSERVE.COM  Mon Feb 25 17:23:53 2002
From: AATSEEL at COMPUSERVE.COM (AATSEEL)
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 12:23:53 -0500
Subject: AATSEEL NL 45.1 (responses)
Message-ID: <MON.25.FEB.2002.122353.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Many thanks to all who responded so quickly to my query over the weekend. 
No further responses are needed:  It appears that the issue started to
arrive around the country last week.  

There's no discernable geographical pattern:  It is mailed in Illinois and
has arrived at some addresses as far away as Oregon -- but has not arrived
in some locations just a few hundred miles away from the mailing point. 
(FWIW, I have not yet received my own copy here in Arizona.)

Also, my apologies to all (and especially to the SEELANGS list
administrator!) for not suggesting that responses be sent to me off-list. 
Perhaps, however, it has been of interest to the audience of SEELANGers who
are also AATSEELers to see the range of responses to the query.

Has anyone started using the new edition of Nachalo yet? If so, which
components of the set have you been able to get so far? Despite the
promotion at AATSEEL in 1999 and 2001, many of the items still appear to
be unreleased. Many thanks.

Dear SEELANGS Members and Friends

A New York publisher is looking for a scholar to write or edit a large
(300,000+-word) reference book on the Russian novel. The intended audience
is high school and college students, teachers and professors, general
readers, and librarians.

The ideal person will have a relevant Ph.D. and knowledge of the field,
at least some familiarity with subject encyclopedias, some
knowledge of the teaching of Russian literature in high school, excellent
writing skills and the ability to write for the nonspecialized reader, about
two years to work on the book, and a healthy respect for deadlines. If the
book is done as an edited, multicontributor work, the editor needs to have
the above qualifications as well as good contacts in the field or the
know-how to line up contributors. In addition, the person needs to have
good editing skills, be almost fanatically well organized, possess
exceptional managerial skills, and be patient and good-humored. Such an
editor is usually academic editor, managing editor, editorial assistant,
proofreader, accountant--and much more--rolled into one.

The author or editor will receive an advance against royalties, but please
keep in mind that this is not a position or a job in the conventional sense.

Interested members of the SEELANGS discussion list (or their colleagues) are
invited to send a letter and c.v.--preferably via email--to:

 Henry Rasof
 Publishing Consultant

Dear friends,

I need some help.  Our Russian historian just retired and I am having
trouble convincing his colleagues that Russia still matters, and I am going
to have to be creative in attempting to address what they see as their
needs.  So I am wondering if any historians out there could tell me:  would
we have a decent pool of candidates if we advertised for someone doing
comparative 17th-18th c. European history, Russia and something else
Western European, say France or Germany?  So someone who could do two
undergraduate classes/year, one in each area? Or, alternatively:  what
would be the chances of finding a Russian historian who could teach one
course/year in some aspect of women's history/gender issues in history?  It
seems to me both should be possible, but I'd very much appreciate any input
I can get on this before I return to this discussion.  Any responses can be
sent to me off-line at mfrazier at slc.edu.

Thank you!

Message-ID: <WED.27.FEB.2002.135131.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

The American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS has administered intensive Russian language study programs in immersion settings for American undergraduates and graduate students since 1976, serving more than three thousand students and faculty. The Russian Language and Area Studies Program provides approximately twenty hours per week of in-class instruction in Russian grammar, phonetics, conversation, and cultural studies at Moscow International University, Moscow State University, and the Russian State Pedagogical University (Gertsen Institute) in St. Petersburg. All classes are conducted in Russian by regular members of university faculty. 

A full-time resident director oversees the academic and cultural programs and assists participants in academic, administrative, and personal matters. Students may live with Russian host families or in university dormitories. Full time home-stay coordinators in each city arrange host family placements and assist participants with host family issues. During the academic year, students may participate in unpaid internships at local public schools, charities, and international businesses, depending on language level and other relevant schools. 

Academic Year students may choose to conduct independent research during the spring semester. Students are assigned a specialist from their Russian university faculty to oversee their research projects.

Participants are registered for academic credit at Bryn Mawr College. Graduate students receive the equivalent of 15 academic hours for one semester; 30 for the academic year, and 10 for the summer program. Undergraduates students receive the equivalent of 16 academic hours for one semester, 32 for the academic year, and 8 for the summer program.

Application Deadlines: Spring Semester: October 15; Fall/Academic Year Program: April 1; Summer Program, March 1.

Russian Film Symposium 2002.
http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu/.
Global Amnesia 1. Central Asian Cinema, 1990-2001.

Recently the former Central Asian republics of the USSR (Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) have been
discovered by international film festivals, both as discrete industries
and as a regional cinema. While some of this shared aesthetic practice
is rooted in the region's close ties to the Russo-Soviet empire (Russian
as the prevailing lingua franca, socialist realism as the dominant
aesthetic method, the Soviet establishment of national film industries
and training generations of filmmakers, etc.), other basic elements are
located in the region's history within non-Western cultural traditions
(Muslim, Persian, and Turkic). These traditions are marked, in part, by
a different conception of narrativity and the implementation of a
competing set of representational codes and systems.

Monday, 25 March - Friday, 29 March 2002, 6:00 - 10:00pm (films with
English subtitles; lectures in English)

The Russian Practicum, Columbia University
Summer Session 2002: June 10-August 2

The Russian Practicum combines courses in Russian language with content courses in Russian literature and specially designed research courses on
"Working in Russian Archives" and "Russian Internet Resources." Language and content courses can be taken in combination or individually.  The Practicum consists of two four-week sessions, running from June 10-July 5 and July 8-August 2.  Literature and research courses are targeted at upper-level
undergraduate and graduate students.  Language courses accommodate both undergraduate and graduate students with a variety of backgrounds and reasons for studying Russian.  Extracurricular activities will be provided to reinforce language learning and to give greater exposure to Russian culture. They include: weekly Russian language lunchtime conversation hour, visits to Russian art and manuscript collections in the New York area museums and libraries, a Russian film series and other cultural events.

The unprecedented opportunities to study abroad in Russia and to gain access to previously closed archival repositories make our program especially useful to students and scholars who would like an introduction to these newly available resources or who believe that they should strengthen their language
skills.  Our research courses "Working in Russian Archives" and "Russian Internet Resources" will demystify the intricacies of conducting research in
Russia and will enable students and scholars to lay the preliminary groundwork necessary to carry out productive research trips to Russia. Language and literature courses provide an opportunity to students who may wish to accelerate their study of Russian, or who have recently decided that they may want to major in Russian literature and language or regional studies but who have not yet gained the necessary course credits.

Cf. Lithuanian ilgas 'long' -- *ilga [re:ka] -> *vilga -> *vulga (regular
backing of front jer) -> volga, i.e. an ancient borrowing from a baltic
language?  The changes are identical to the conversion of prep. *in -> v

While we're waiting for the experts to chime in...

I found 180 hits on Яndex <http://yandex.ru:8081/> by entering the
following in the search window (including the quotation marks):
        "этимологический словарь" && волга

Note that Яndex, on receiving terms separated only by a space, searches
for those terms *in the same sentence.* This is different from the
practice of most US search engines. To search Яndex for two or more
terms *in the same document,* you must use the double ampersand.

A lot of these hits are chaff, and I don't have time to examine them
all, but several looked interesting. Here are a few:

An amusing ramble on the subject (I'm not qualified to evaluate it):
<http://www.nestor.md/Russian/Ehrlich2.htm>
Just search for "волга"; it's a little before the halfway mark, too long
to paste here.

Also entertaining:
<http://pechkin.rinet.ru/x/smp/works/lenin.html>
Ленин на протяжении своего земного жизненного пути многократно
переплывает туда и обратно священную славянскую реку Волгу, древний
Итиль, Ра, считавшуюся рекой между жизнью и смертью. Говорится, что
каждый раз, переплыв Волгу, Ленин как будто молодел и полнился новых
сил. Известно, что переплывал Ленин также и реку Мсту, выступавшую
антиподом Волги в более поздний период (название "Волга" происходит от
финского корня valkea, "белый", тогда как "Мста" -- от musta, "черный").
С мотивом переплывания Волги связаны, возможно, и монголоидное,
заволжское узкоглазие Ленина, тогда как по другому контексту оно же
может дополнительно указывать на связь с потусторонним миром.

A more serious approach:
<http://www.ssu.samara.ru/campus/RIO/Toponim/p03.htm>
ВОЛГА. В пределах Самарской области протекает на протяжении около 340
км., образуя большую излучину, называемую Самарской Лукой (см.)
Древнейшим, засвидетельствованным со второго века до нашей эры,
названием реки было слово Ра. Не исключено, что оно сохранилось в
современном мордовском наименовании реки Рав (Рава) По одной из гипотез,
основой этого названия реки могло быть древнейшее слово со значением
"спокойная река". Чуваши именовали реку словом Атал, татары - Идел,
башкиры - Идель, марийцы - Юл. Все эти названия были связаны со средним
и нижним течением реки и в переводе на русский язык, как полагают
некоторые исследователи, означают "река; великая (большая) река". Но
общепринятым названием реки как для большинства народов нашей страны,
так и для многих народов мира, стало слово Волга. Исследователи
неоднократно пытались разобраться в истории этого названия, ответить на
вопрос, почему Волга называется Волгой. К сожалению, приходится
признать, что и до настоящего времени однозначного ответа на этот вопрос
нет. Было высказано несколько предположений-гипотез, но ни одно из них
не обладает неоспоримой научной доказательностью. Подобное, кстати,
характерно для изучения происхождения названий многих крупных рек. Ведь,
чем крупнее река, тем, как правило, древнее ее наименование. А чем
древнее наименование, тем сложнее строго научное установление его
истоков. К числу таких сложных для объяснения названий относится и
речной гидроним Волга. Многие исследователи обращали внимание на то, что
Волгой именуется один из притоков Днепра, что Волга есть в бассейне
Вислы (Польша). В связи с этим высказывались предположения о том, что
Волга - славянское по происхождению название и связано с такими
нарицательными словами , как волглый, влага (древнерусское волога).
Возражая против такого объяснения названия, некоторые исследователи
считают, что корень волг - в значении "мокрый, влажный" - очень редко
встречается в славянских названиях небольших рек, а в названиях крупных
рек вообще не используется. В связи с этим было обращено внимание на
корень волг со значением "белый, светлый", распространенный в ряде
финно-угорских языков. С ним, в частности, связаны марийское волгыдо,
эстонское валге, карельское валги и др. С ним, как полагают, связано и
название реки Вологды, по которой поименован город Вологда. Противники
данной гипотезы указывают на то, что волжские финно-угры (мордва и
марийцы) Волгу не называют Волгой. Принимая этот факт, нельзя, однако,
исключить и то, что гидроним Волга мог возникнуть на финно-угорской
основе в верховьях реки, по крайней мере, севернее тех территорий, где в
настоящее время обитают мордва и марийцы. Высказывалась также мысль о
возможной связи названия Волги с балтийскими языками, к которым
относятся языки латышский и литовский. Отмечалось, в частности, наличие
в этих языках нарицательного слова валка со значением "текущий ручей,
заболоченное место, лужа". Допускается, что подобным словом могли
именоваться истоки реки. В русском употреблении валка изменилась в Волга
и распространилось на всю реку. Наконец, некоторые исследователи,
например, академик Б.А. Серебренников, полагают, что название Волга по
происхождению связано с древними и ныне не существующими языками. При
таком подходе вопрос о возможности объяснения происхождения и исходного
значения гидронима Волга отпадает сам собой, так как отпадает и
возможность обнаружения нарицательного слова, некогда ставшего основой
названия Волга. Таким образом, вопрос о том, почему Волга называется
Волгой, пока общепринятого ответа не получил. Вероятно лишь то, что
название возникло в верховьях реки. Одно из наиболее ранних названий
Волга - у Нестора в Повести Временных лет, то есть существует
параллельно в верховьях Волга у славян, внизу Итиль у тюрок.

Another opinion:

6. РЕКА ВОЛГА И РЕКА ВОЛХОВ
   В нашей книге [5] мы показали, что исторический Великий Новгород,
упоминающийся в старых русских летописях, -- это, по-видимому, не
современный Новгород на Волхове, а старый русский город Ярославль.
   Добавим одно полезное замечание. Современный Новгород стоит на реке
ВОЛХОВ. Это название реки действительно упоминается, хотя и очень редко,
в некоторых летописях, когда речь идет о Великом Новгороде. Но является
ли это доказательством того, что Великий Новгород, описываемый в
летописях -- это современный Новгород на Волхове?
   Оказывается, -- нет, не является. Летописные упоминания о Волхове не
противоречат отождествлению Великого Новгорода с Ярославлем. Дело в том,
что название реки ВОЛХОВ -- это, вероятно, всего лишь слегка искаженное
ВОЛГА. А Ярославль действительно стоит на реке ВОЛГЕ.
   По-видимому, при пересадке историками-политиками города
Ярославля-Новгорода с берегов Волги на запад, вслед за ним уехало и
название реки, превратившись в Волхов. Поскольку отождествление
Новгорода на Волхове с историческим Великим Новгородом было сделано,
вероятно, не ранее начала XVII века, то отсюда следует, что и ВСЕ
ЛЕТОПИСИ, УПОМИНАЮЩИЕ О ``ВОЛХОВЕ'', НА КОТОРОМ СТОИТ ВЕЛИКИЙ
НОВГОРОД-ЯРОСЛАВЛЬ, -- ОТРЕДАКТИРОВАНЫ НЕ РАНЕЕ XVII ВЕКА. Этот вывод
вполне согласуется с нашим общим выводом, сделанным выше: имеющиеся
сегодня редакции русских летописей восходят к XVII-XVIII векам. Не
ранее.
   Кстати, обратим внимание на простой, но очень полезный факт: слово
ВОЛГА означало, да фактически означает и сегодня, попросту
                ВЛАГА, ВЛАЖНЫЙ.
   Отсюда и известное слово ВОЛГЛЫЙ = ВЛАЖНЫЙ, ДО СИХ ПОР
РАСПРОСТРАНЕННОЕ В ПОВОЛЖЬЕ. Об этом слове упоминают словари Даля [21] и
Фасмера [22]. Да и вообще, практически во всех славянских языках это
слово ИЗВЕСТНО [22].
   А потому совершенно естественно, что МНОГО РЕК НАЗВАНО ПРОИЗВОДНЫМИ
ОТ ЭТОГО СЛОВА. И вот вам примеры, по Фасмеру, - Vlha = река бассейна
Лабы, Wilga -- река бассейна Вислы, тот же ВОЛХОВ на Псковщине и т. д.

Subject: Volga

Compare e.g. bulg. vlaga with Volga - it seams clear to me that we have two
different degrees of Ablaut, i.e. (§ is back jer)

bulg. vlaga < protoslav. valga (first a short, i.e. "Vollstufe", second a
long)
russ. volga < v§lga < vulga < ulga < protoslav. vlga (i.e. "Schwundstufe")
This "Schwundstufe" (sorry for the German termins) causes the vocalization
of v > u, thereafter you have the v-prothesis (like e.g. in _udra > vydra)
before u and then u > § > o.

That means, Volga ist "the wet one".

The baltic etymology proposed by Jues Levin is not plausible, because the
change in > v is another one than il > v, and there's no prothesis of v
before i.

    The AAASS Directory of Members contains an index of members by major
discipline (i.e. History).  With a little hunting, you can then look up each
historian with his/her area of specialization.  Good luck!
