The Jewish nation-state has often been thought of as Zionism's end goal. In this bracing history of the idea of the Jewish state in modern Zionism, from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century until the establishment of the state of Israel, Dmitry Shumsky challenges this deeply rooted assumption. In doing so, he complicates the narrative of the Zionist quest for full sovereignty, provocatively showing how and why the leaders of the pre-state Zionist movement imagined, articulated and promoted theories of self-determination in Palestine either as part of a multinational Ottoman state (1882-1917), or in the framework of multinational democracy. In particular, Shumsky focuses on the writings and policies of five key Zionist leaders from the Habsburg and Russian empires in central and eastern Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: Leon Pinsker, Theodor Herzl, Ahad Ha'am, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, and David Ben-Gurion to offer a very pointed critique of Zionist historiography.

The purpose of the article is to study the development of the performance culture of orchestra conductors in the process of master's training in order to ensure the further successful employment of future specialists. Research methodology. The research used general scientific (generalisation, comparison, induction, and deduction) and empirical-theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis) to understand the literature on the article issue. System-structural analysis using a whole range of methods (semiotic, cultural, theoretical generalisation) enabled comprehensive understanding the stated issue. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the results obtained in the article is determined by the solution of an important scientific task, which consists in developing theoretical provisions and practical recommendations regarding the development of the performing culture of orchestra conductors in the process of master's training. The article further developed the study of the performance culture of orchestral conductors. Conclusions. It has been established that conducting is defined as one of the varieties of musical performance art, which expresses the art of managing a musical team. It has been found that orchestral conducting is based on a system of hand movements, which requires an orchestral conductor to have comprehensive education, musical and theoretical training, active will, good memory, fine hearing, synthesis of psychological and informational principles. It has been determined that the manual technique in the system of expressiveness of the orchestra conductor serves as a subtle and perfect channel for transmitting the dynamics of artistic feelings, the inner feeling of the artistic image, which is manifested in the gesture, look, and facial expressions of the orchestra conductor. It has been found that the performing culture of an orchestra conductor carries not only the worldview of the author, but also the style of an orchestra conductor, which is distinguished by perfect aesthetic views, interests, and tastes. It has been determined that the performance culture of an orchestra conductor at its highest level acts as the ability of an orchestra conductor to consciously assimilate, form, actualise, multiply, preserve, and transfer professional value to increase the effectiveness of conducting activity.
Key words: performance culture, orchestra conductor, orchestra conducting.

AbstractIn his autobiographical writings, the Russian-Jewish author and the founder of Zionist Revisionism Vladimir Jabotinsky constructed a retrospective self-image, according to which ever since becoming a Zionist early in the 20th century he exclusively clung to a Jewish national identity. This one-dimensional image was adopted by the early historiography of the Revisionist movement in Zionism. Contrary to this trend, much of the recent historiography on Jabotinsky has taken a different direction, describing him, particularly as a young man during the period of his early Zionism in Tsarist Russia, as a Russian-European cosmopolitan intellectual. Both these polarized positions are somewhat unbalanced and simplistic, whereas the figure of Jabotinsky and his worldview that emerge from reading his rich publicist writing in late Tsarist Russia present a far more complex picture of interplay between his deep ethnic-national primordial Jewish affinity, on the one hand, and an array of his different attachments to his non-Jewish surroundings including local, cultural, and civil identities, on the other. Focusing on Jabotinsky's unexplored journalist writings that address the Russo-Japanese war of 1904–1905, the article discovers a previously unknown identity pattern of the young Jabotinsky—his Russian state patriotism—and traces its relationship to his Jewish nationalism.
