Im Jahre 1999 hatte der damalige Ministerpräsident, Prof. Dr. Kurt Biedenkopf, zusammen mit dem Wirtschaftsminister, Dr. Kajo Schommer, ein Beschäftigungsprojekt für Langzeitarbeitslose initiiert und sodann durch die Beratungsgesellschaft McKinsey im Freistaat Sachsen in einigen Schwerpunktregionen umsetzen lassen. Dieses Projekt erhielt den Namen "Tätigkeit und Aufgaben Regionale Initiativen in Sachsen" – kurz TAURIS. Die Idee war, Langzeitarbeitslose gegen eine Aufwandsentschädigung in gemeinnützigen Bereichen tätig werden und sie hierbei eine Aufgabe außerhalb des eigentlichen Arbeitsmarktes wahrnehmen zu lassen.

Abstract. This article reports an investigation of secular humanism values in J.V. Goethe's Ifigenia di Semenanjung Tauris. The issues being investigated are: (1) the conflicts among the characters, and (2) the values of secular humanism in the conflicts themselves. This study adopts the theory of humanism that is the system of belief based on a faith in democracy, rationality, and human autonomy. The research uses descriptive qualitative method in which the data are in the form of text. The analysis shows that the conflicts are caused by personal will based on authority, religion, and revenge, and the rejection of the will based on humanity. Agamemnon and Thoas represent the authority to fulfill their will of human sacrifice in accordance with their religious teaching. On the contrary, Ifigenia represents the rejection of human sacrifice. The debate between the fulfillment of the will and the rejection of the will reveals the values of humanism. Key words: conflict, humanism secular, human autonomy
Patrice Dabrowski (2014): Poland: The First Thousand Years and Brian Porter-Szűcs (2014): Poland in the Modern World. Beyond Martyrdom and Anita Prażmowska (2013): Poland: A Modern History As a student at Berkeley, I was once a graduate assistant in a history of modern Europe lecture seminar. The professor was a West Europeanist, although the themes of the seminar bridged both East and West. Throughout the otherwise well-taught seminar, I was struck by the lack of attention on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or its various permutations after partition. Indeed, Poland offers perhaps one of the best case studies to explore major themes of modern European (and global) history. It was a place where Christianization, the Enlightenment, nationalization and industrialization all took root in various (frequently unexpected) forms. In the twentieth century, particularly, Poland was not only a case study: it was the central theater in Europe where ideologies of various stripe fought each other in word and deed. While the country is usually only treated as a side note in history lectures, three recent publications reveal how central Poland can be in understanding European history. Each book offers different approaches to the grand narrative of this region, and all are revisionist when compared to the traditional story told by conservatives in Poland, even if they vary greatly in the degree of revision. They represent in a nutshell the various ways in which Polish history is being interpreted by academics and the society at large. The first book, by University of Vienna researcher Patrice Dabrowski, takes the first thousand years of Polish history; the second, by London School of Economics and Political Science professor Anita Prażmowska, begins in the nineteenth century; the third, by University of Michigan professor Brian Porter-Szűcs, focuses primarily on the twentieth century. The authors' point of departure arguably frames the way in which they tell the story of Poland.

Auch nach mehr als 70 Jahren gehört die britische Appeasement-Politik zu den umstrittenen Themen der europäischen Geschichte im 20. Jahrhundert. Schon im Zweiten Weltkrieg als "Guilty Men" bezichtigt, und dann nach 1945 von Churchill wortgewaltig als Schwächlinge und einfältige Toren an den Pranger gestellt, gelten Neville Chamberlain und seine Mitstreiter seinen Kritikern als Politiker, die die wahren Ziele von Hitlers Außenpolitik nicht erkannten und so seinem Machtzuwachs nicht rechtzeitig Grenzen setzten. Demgegenüber verweisen seine Unterstützer auf die begrenzten Möglichkeiten der britischen Außenpolitik, die einen härteren Kurs der Eindämmung nicht zugelassen hätten. .
In the article is interpreted the ancient stories of M. Kostomarov's drama as a political allegory. It is shown that the ideological drama «Cremutius Cordus» is figurative of Nicholas' period, and historical drama «Greek's Tauris» – Khmelnitsky's period. In the context of problems is analyzed of poetry «Jupiter light float in the green waters of the Cimmerian». It is examined complex of social and moral-ethical components of the problems of the texts of "Cremutius Cordus" (tyranny, denunciation, internal freedom, public freedom, the role of the historian in society) and "Hellenes of the Tauris" (power, betrayal, dual political game, linguistic question, gender aspect, the spirit of the people). The problem of works can be traced in line with the ideological and aesthetic principles of Ukrainian romanticism, the ideology of the "Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood". It is analyzed relationship of ideological aspects and compositional features of texts. It is emphasized on the autobiographical features of individual images - the historian Cremutius Cordus from the work of the same name, the Shadow of the Ionian ("Jupiter Light floating through the green waters of the Cimmerian").
