"…the socialization of industry means by its very essence a transference of responsibility in economic leadership to science, to an extent quite unknown in capitalist economics." --EA Preobrazhensky Forward to the First Edition of The New Economics (1926) With the administrative takeover of the Russian Communist Party following the death of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin) (1924) in the mid-1920s, the militarized forced collectivization of the Russian peasantry in the early 1930s and the show trials and execution of virtually every leading member of the original Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) between 1936 and 1938 a blow was dealt to the aspirations of millions of class conscious working people, to the long struggle to transcend the dominion of capital and material accumulation over human life, and to the practice and discipline of scientific socialism. Evgeny (Eugene) Alexeyevich Preobrazhensky, ( (February 27, 1886 - July 13, 1937) was an early adherent of the Bolshevik faction of the RSDLP, from 1903, a candidate member of the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks elected at the Sixth Party Congress (July 1917), a leader of the party in the Urals at the time of the October Revolution, Communist Party secretary preceding Stalin, holder of key central offices during the early1920's, significant ones in the early 1930's, and a leading voice of the Bolshevik opposition in the 1920s. In the years immediately preceding Stalin's assumption of the party post 'General Secretary' Preobrazhensky served in its central secretariat. He was a self-described "professional revolutionary," and working-class militant, a party leader, organizer, functionary, educator, thinker and writer for the full extent of his adult life. He was also a prescient and scientifically disciplined political economist whose insights transcended the intense factional party debates of the Soviet Union during the New Economic Policy (NEP) period (approximately 1921-1928). Preobrazhensky's writings on a range of ...

Bibliography: pages 279-292. ; This study attempts to explore the ways in which Rosalie Van der Gucht influenced and contributed to Speech and Drama education during the second half of this century in the Cape. The writer takes the view that although Van der Gucht was not particularly original in her work - dramatically, socially or politically - she had an impact which is still felt in the Cape Province and beyond, because of her outstanding qualities as a leader, teacher and play director; effected through her special skills as a communicator. The chosen form is a critical biography, which makes it possible to investigate the impact of Van der Gucht's initiatives within the contemporary context. Given that there are only a handful of books which deal with the theatre of this period in the Cape, and they contain few specific references to Van der Gucht; the chief sources for this topic were unpublished written material, and interviews with Van der Gucht's past students, colleagues, friends and relations. Of special importance were Van der Gucht's unsorted collection of papers (bequeathed to the Human Sciences Research Council), the Little Theatre Press Cutting books and the University of Cape Town Archives. In Chapter One the formative influence of her parents, her education, and her first working years in England prior to the Second World War are traced. The following six chapters cover, decade by decade, the period from 1942 to 1971 when Van der Gucht was at the University of Cape Town, training aspirant Speech and Drama teachers, actors, and students taking general Arts degrees. Her influence upon the teacher and actor training courses, including a scrutiny of curriculum developments, is examined; as is her membership of the South African Guild of Speech Teachers and her foundation and leadership of Theatre for Youth which aimed to reach young people beyond the University. Chapter 8 covers the years after her retirement from the University, when she launched upon a second career as a play director, and attempts to pinpoint the chief characteristics of her directing. Chapter 9 deals with the events leading to her death in 1985 - which shed new light on Van der Gucht as a person. The conclusions drawn from this study pertain to Van der Gucht's quality as a person and teacher. The writer takes the paradoxical view that this woman of British origin and education; was, first and foremost, an educator of the traditional kind found in Africa: an oral educator, who used oral material, verbal communication and social situations to inspire and direct those with whom she worked to greater efforts for the benefit of their society, themselves and the discipline of drama. The study is intended to be a useful historical resource for students of drama and the theatre in South Africa.

Al-Amīr Amīn Mağīd Arslān (aš-Šuwaifāt 1868-Buenos Aires, 1943), who was known in Europe and Argentina as the Emir Emin Arslan, is a legend within the Arab Argentine community. He arrived in Argentina in 1910 as Consul General of the Ottoman Empire and did not leave the country, whose nationality he adopted in 1921. He became a respected writer and editor in Spanish, his fourth language, which he acquired at 42 years old, and joined the literary and political elite of the country. Arslan spent the first 25 years of his life in his native Mount Lebanon, more than a decade in Europe (Paris and Brussels) and more than three decades in Argentina. He published in Arabic, French and Spanish. The fate of the people of greater Syria was his main concern to the day of his demise. In this essay we deal with his political opinions during the three main parts of his life, including the less studied: the European one (1893-1910). ; Al-Amīr Amīn Mağīd Arslān (aš-Šuwaifāt 1868-Buenos Aires, 1943), que fue conocido en Europa y la Argentina como el emir Emín Arslán, es una leyenda dentro de la colectividad árabe argentina. Llegó a la Argentina en 1910 como cónsul general del Imperio otomano y no se fue del país, cuya nacionalidad adoptó en 1921. Se convirtió en un respetado escritor y editor en español, su cuarto idioma, que aprendió a la edad de 42 años, y se sumó a la elite literaria y política del país. Arslán pasó los primeros veinticinco años de su vida en su Monte Líbano natal, más de una década en Europa (París y Bruselas) y más de tres décadas en la Argentina. Publicó en árabe, francés y español. El destino de la gran Siria fue su principal preocupación hasta el día de su fallecimiento. En este ensayo examinamos sus opiniones políticas durante las tres principales etapas de su vida, incluyendo la menos estudiada: la europea (1893-1910).

For the last twenty years, contemporary military history, turning away from a traditional History of Battles, has been about witness accounts of participants in the Great War. There is a place for this approach that, although sometimes controversial, focuses on the lives of private soldiers and on their material and cultural constraints. On the other hand, biographical studies of military heads, in spite of a very recent renewal of interest, are largely neglected. The same applies to the study of senior officers belonging to the "second circle", who are mainly unknown to the public at large. And yet through their family and military history much is to be learned of this contingent and of the officers who rose after the disastrous defeat of 1870 and became the world first army following their 1918 victory.General Arthur Boucher biography is a detailed study of his atypical long military career and of his family life, and draws out the erudite character of his output as a military writer. It also brings to the fore some key events and important Third Republic generals, with whom General Boucher interacted. This study was made possible through researching public archives as well as some private archives made available by one of General Boucher's daughters.This research adds to what recent contemporary military history reveals about the lives of private soldiers during the Third Republic and the Great War with a better knowledge of officers who, thanks to their training and intellectual capacities, gave France victory over Germany during the Great War.This thesis about a senior officer known as the French army Great War "elder" throws a light on the life of senior officers and enriches the studies of 19th Century military elites. ; Depuis une vingtaine d'années, l'histoire militaire contemporaine, tournant le dos à l'histoire bataille traditionnelle, s'est intéressée aux témoignages des combattants de la Grande Guerre. Cette approche très riche, qui a fait l'objet de vives controverses scientifiques, s'est penchée ...

The article analyzes the biography of Russian full general A.A. Brusilov − the hero of World War I, whose name is associated with the term "Brusilov Offensive". The author exa-mines his views on the new situation which developed in Russia during the two revolutions of 1917, and then in the Soviet period. The author highly appreciates the theoretical preparation level of A.A. Brusilov, who got full military education in tsarist Russia; reveals the pre-sence of numerous analogous episodes in the biographies of A.A. Brusilov and A.V. Suvorov. He focuses on the similar origin of two Russian heroes, whose families belonged to the military dynasties of imperial Russia. The author concludes that the continuity of generations is very important in the issue of effective army's functioning. This tradition was preserved in the new Soviet state. ; В статье анализируется биография полного генерала русской армии, героя Первой мировой войны А.А. Брусилова, с чьим именем связан термин «Брусиловский прорыв». Автор оценивает уровень теоретической подготовленности А.А. Брусилова, получившего полное военное образование в царской России, выявляет наличие ряда перекликающихся моментов в биографиях А.А. Брусилова и А.В. Суворова, акцентирует внимание на схожем происхождении двух российских героев, чьи семьи принадлежали к военным династиям царской России. Автор делает вывод о важности преемственности поколений в вопросе формирования эффективно действующей армии, которая существовала в имперский период. Также эта традиция не была прервана при рождении нового советского государства.
