Preparation For War Research Articles

РАЗКАЗИТЕ НА ЕЛИН ПЕЛИН В НЕМСКОЕЗИЧНОТО СПИСАНИЕ „DER BULGARIENWART“ В КОНТЕКСТА НА СЪБИТИЯТА В МЕЖДУВОЕННА БЪЛГАРИЯ

The third decade of the 20th century are considered in history as the time of preparation for the Second World War. Certainly propaganda is the way to reach the masses and the printed media was usually the tool to promote ideas to as many people as possible. In the periodical Der Bulgarienwart along with the publicistic texts there are many literary ones to find as well. The following article presents seven short stories by Elin Pelin, translated into German and published in the journal. By means of discourse analysis a first attempt is made to establish an interdisciplinary connection between the thematic scope of the short stories, the main translator Stefan Yovev‘ s views and the nationalsocialist propaganda ideas during the period.

Education in Times of War

The 15th issue of On_Education deals with the history and present of wartime education in different times, sociopolitical contexts and geographical spaces, such as Ukraine, Japan, Sri Lanka, Cyprus, post-socialist Poland, post-civil war Lebanon, post-apartheid South Africa or post-fascist Germany. The issue focuses on the different – often Janus-faced and highly ambivalent – roles and functions that education systems tend to play in societies’ responses to wars, in the preparation for war, as well as in the educational and sociopolitical dynamics that tend to shape educational systems before, during, and after wars (including so called ‘cold wars’). We have invited analyses of these complex issues from different methodological perspectives, disciplines, and research fields (such as philosophy, history of education, comparative education, and others).

러일전쟁 전후 러시아 극동총독부와 극동특별위원회의 설치와 해체

The Government-General of the Far East and the Special Committee for the Far East were established in 1903 led by the imperial powers within the Russian government. State Advisor Bezobrazov (А.М. Безобразов) diagnosed the weakening of power in the Far East and suggested the need for the establishment of the Government-General of the Far East. The reason was that first, conflicts between government departments and the inefficiency of the consultation system brought irresponsibility, and second, the lack of accurate information on the Far East and erroneous evaluation of the situation occurred. Imperial powers, including Bezobrazov (А.М. Безобразов), opposed bureaucratic forces, arguing that in order to avoid the Russo-Japanese War, war preparations should be strengthened in the Far East and a single independent organization should be established. As a result, Nicholas II accepted the imperial powers’ insistence and, on July 30, 1903, ordered the establishment of the Government-General of the Far East in the Senate, the highest authority for judicial and legislative powers. The Governor-General of the Far East was composed of the Governor-General of Priamour and the Governor-General of Lusun. Naval Admiral Alexeyev (Е.И. Алексеев) was appointed as the governor of the Far East. The Government-General of the Far East was an organization centered on the Governor-General of the Far East that encompassed the order and safety of the Far East. The Governor-General of the Far East could present his or her opinion directly to Nicholas II or through the Secretary General. Here, the Governor-General of the Far East had the powerful authority to command the Pacific Fleet and the Far East Army. The Governor-General of the Far East was in charge of not only the military commander of Priam, but also the military administration of the Manchurian Railway. On August 23, 1903, by order of Nicholas II, the Governor-General of the Far East was able to negotiate directly with the Ministry of the Army. In the end, the Government-General of the Far East was the body that oversaw the administrative system reorganization and economic development of the Russian Far East. The Special Committee for the Far East was an organization that provided administrative and legal support for the Government-General of the Far East and devised a plan for the development of the Far East. Above all, the Government-General of the Far East was established under the pretext of establishing a single independent organization to prepare for war in the Far East. In fact, the staff department under the Government-General of the Far East has established a “strategic action plan” in preparation for the Russo-Japanese War. The Special Committee for the Far East planned colonial management for the entire Far East, including Manchuria, by examining cases of colonization abroad. This fact meant that the Government-General of the Far East and the Special Committee for the Far East were established with the intention of carrying out Russia''s military response to Japan''s threat of war and promoting colonial management throughout the Far East in the future. Nevertheless, when Russia was defeated in the Russo-Japanese War, the Special Committee for the Far East was dissolved, and the Government-General of the Far East had no choice but to cease its activities.

Territorial Distribution of Soviet Industry in Context of Preparation of USSR for a Major War (Late 1920s — Early 1940s)

The author considers the complex process of preparing the USSR for war in the context of the implementation of “socialist reconstruction” (a term put forward by I. V. Stalin in November 1929), which meant a radical restructuring of the economic sphere and related institutions. The article poses a complex problem that presents a symbiosis of a number of topics — the NEP, industrialization, the construction of socialism in the Stalinist way, preparations for a big war. Comprehending the key trends in the evolution of the modernization breakthrough of the late 1920s — early 1940s, the author points to two stages. The first (actually continuing the NEP) was dominated by the principles of the planned use of resources, the content of the second was reduced to the next assault on socialism. The researcher comes to the conclusion that the damage caused to the national economy turned out to be significant and became the reason for the disproportionality of its development. The document presents evidence of the fallacy of the territorial organization of heavy industry and, above all, the military-defense complex on the eve of June 22, 1941. The cause of the catastrophe of the first period of the Great Patriotic War is revealed in the loss of the most important enterprises located mainly in areas close to the western border.

Artemidorus Interprets the Dream of Mordecai (Additions to Esther A and F)

Abstract The Alpha Text (AT) and Old Greek (OG) versions of Esther include six chapter-length passages—the “Additions”—not paralleled in the Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT) of Esther. In Addition A, Mordecai sees a dream marked by battle cries, confusion, thunder, earthquake, chaos, a pair of dragons, preparations for war, darkness and gloom, affliction and anguish, and an outcry to God from a frightened nation of righteous people. A small spring emerges from the outcry and turns into a mighty river, which consumes those held in esteem. Addition F offers a limited interpretation of several elements of this dream but leaves much of the dream uninterpreted. This paper offers a fresh perspective on the Addition A dream and its relationship to the plot of both AT- and OG-Esther in light of Artemidorus’s Oneirocritica, a second-century CE handbook of dream interpretation.

The legal nature of Russia’s financing of inter-state terrorism and its war with Ukraine

The article is devoted to the analysis of the legal nature of Russia’s financing of interstate terrorism and its war against Ukraine, which has already changed the history of the XXI century. It is noted that one of the most obvious features of this war was its intercivilizational nature, which necessitates a rethinking of all political and sociocultural processes not only in Ukraine and Russia, but also in Europe and the world, the need for fundamental renewal of worldviews and methodological approaches and categorical apparatus. The position that the above fully applies to the understanding of the problem of the legal nature of Russia’s financing of interstate terrorism and the war in Ukraine, which is the main goal of our study, is substantiated. The specific tasks of the analysis of the above problem are to clarify: the legal nature of Russia’s financing of interstate terrorism; legal bases and sources of financing of the Russian Federation war in Ukraine.
 The methodological basis of the study are the principles of objectivity and historicism; anthroposocio- cultural and axiological approaches combined with the methods developed by Samuel Huntington for the analysis of intercivilizational wars in his bestseller “Clash of Civilizations”.
 Based on the analysis of relevant regulations, doctrinal provisions and facts, the conclusion is substantiated that the leading form of financing Russian state terrorism against Ukraine during the preparation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and from the beginning of this war to full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine was Russia’s sponsorship of anti-Ukrainian terrorism. On February 24, 2022, this form gave way to direct budget funding by Russia for its terrorism against Ukraine. Russia’s source of funding for its war against Ukraine at all stages of the preparation and conduct of this war has been and remains the direct budgetary allocation of its State budget funds, obtained mainly from energy exports, primarily oil and gas.

Israel’s inter-war campaigns doctrine: From opportunism to principle

ABSTRACT What started as opportunistic operations has gradually given rise to Israel’s prevailing military doctrine of Inter-War Campaigns (IWC). This article provides a comprehensive analysis of a phenomenon that has shaped conflicts in the Middle East, one that has been overlooked in the literature. The IWC utilises advantageous conditions to formulate continuous military campaigns below the threshold of severe conflict. This article argues that the IWC creates and manages limited competitive conflicts intended to mitigate adversaries’ force buildup in preparation for war. It provides the first account of the doctrine’s development, analyses its enabling factors, and discusses its degree of success.

WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

War is a socio-political and ecological event, which is an extreme form of resolving socio-political, economic, ecological, religious, ideological, as well as national, territorial and other conflicts between states, people, nations, classes and social groups through military violence. The causes of war are as diverse as socio-political, socio-economic, and environmental problems that are perpetuated through violence, such as military-mediated violence. The result is a change in any sphere of public life - social, political, economic, ecological, spiritual, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Countries are moving to a fully military state. Modern warfare ensures the achievement of a set of goals not only through military armed violence but also through other means of war, such as scientific-technical, economic-ecological, diplomatic, ideological and then the nature and directions of the new world order. According to the modern view, war is a historical product of the emergence and development of the opposing forces in society. Throughout the history of mankind, war has been a constant companion of human life. There have been fair and unfair wars. Fair wars have often been a stimulus to social change, a new shift in social relations, and a shift in the direction of a historical progress in general. But in the age of modern nuclear war, when nuclear weapons of mass destruction were developed in the arsenal of means of warfare, war has become incompatible with the objective law of community development, with the goals of sustainable development of society, because the war itself and the process of preparation for war have a devastating impact on the sustainability of the environment. Because war causes mass migration of people, unemployment, poverty, socio-economic poverty, environmental degradation. People displaced by the war use unconventional food to save their lives in the form of pets, that destroys the natural environment - flora and fauna. Greenhouse gases emitted as a result of explosions are causing climate change, endangering many species, examples of which abound in war history, bringing the sustainability curve closer to the bottom. The soldiers and the population have to buy large reserves of water and food before the war, they are forced to change their mindset to adapt to new circumstances, focusing not on long-term sustainability but on short-term decisions, all of that causing depression, hopelessness. At this time, a great importance is given to the aspiration of mankind for peace or the salvation of the world; the more perfect the society, the more determined the goal is to move towards sustainability or preservation of the environment and life, which acts as a positive catalyst in their lives. Even an evil person by nature becomes a good rational being as a result of the influence of goodness, although the goodness manifested in actions against war, striving for peace, without this goodness cannot be transformed into harmony, but the main thing is striving for goodness both in the environment and in saving lives. Will there always be a dilemma in the development of humanity, mutual harmony, sustainability or confrontation? I am confident that humanity will show common sense and choose the path to perfection, good action that is sustainable development.

Evolyuciya germanskogo podhoda k upravleniyu gosudarstvennymi predpriyatiyami v konce XIX — pervoj polovine XX v.

The article deals with the emergency and development of German state-owned enterprises in 1871-1945. The authors consider the ways and methods of managing state-owned companies in the field of postal service, railways, gas and electricity supply, as well as forms of entrepreneurship that were created by the leadership of Nazi Germany to serve the needs of the state in preparation for World War II. The results of the study demonstrate that at the end of the 19th - first half of the 20th century the management of German enterprises in key industries was centralized by the government, both by the means of nationalizing the companies and acquiring the assets from private owners, as well as by establishing new state-owned companies.

Geopolitical imaginations of war preparations: visual representations of the Romanian armed forces’ military exercises

ABSTRACT This article develops our knowledge of war preparations in Critical Military Studies (CMS) by studying visual representations of the Romanian armed forces’ military training. It draws on feminist and critical military geography to examine geopolitical imaginations that shape, and are shaped, by actors, places, and landscapes of military exercises. While arguing that war preparations are (geo)political practices of power that produce identity, space, and violence, this article opens two new directions in the CMS literature. Firstly, it explores the role of ethnicity in constituting militarized masculinity within military alliances. Specifically, this article shows that exercises envisage the Romanian military as an actor that blends ancient Dacian heroism with technological prowess. This image helps both the Romanian armed forces and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to present themselves as strong and credible military actors. Secondly, it develops our understanding of the spatial construction of militarization. Specifically, it shows that military preparedness animates discourses of Easternness and Westernness, whose coexistence constitutes Romania as a key NATO ally while erasing its past (Socialist) support for peace, anti-militarism, and anti-imperialism. The article contributes to our geographical knowledge of the intersections between militarism, postsocialism and postcolonialism in feminist and critical military studies.

Territorial defense forces in hybrid warfare in the light of experience of the conflict in Ukraine

One of the experiences of the initial stages of the development of the eastern Ukraine conflict was the decision of the authorities in Kyiv to establish the so-called volunteer battalions (BTRO) and, among them, the territorial defense battalions. This article presents synthetically the tasks set for the above military formations. The authors consider which of the BTRO designed capabilities can be useful and effective against an aggressor using hybrid combat methods. They refer primarily to the course of events taking place during the conflict in Eastern Ukraine and the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. The authors discuss the capabilities of territorial defense subunits of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that can effectively defend against hybrid warfare. While looking to answer the question presented, materials and articles on current Russian war preparation and warfare concepts were analyzed. Attention was primarily paid to their practical application during the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea. Subsequently, documents and publications related to the creation and tasks posed to the Territorial Defense Battalions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were examined. Assumptions concerning their organization and functioning were considered in the context of achieving the designed operational capabilities. The summary presents the conclusions of the compilation of the above work. They concern particularly the concept of territorial application of the discussed military formations, the possibility of their establishing cooperation with regular subunits of the Armed Forces to supplement their ability to perform tasks, as well as issues related to cooperation with local authorities and communities.

Embodying Military Muscles and a Remasculinized West: Influencer Marketing, Fantasy, and “the Face of NATO”

Abstract In 2018, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) carried out Trident Juncture, its largest military exercise since the Cold War. The event was promoted on social media featuring Lasse Matberg as “the face of NATO.” Matberg is an Instagram influencer, model, and lieutenant in the Royal Norwegian Navy, with an impressive physique and Viking looks. He frequently appears on NATO’s social media accounts and lends his own platform to share activities such as working out with the Secretary-General. Drawing on the notion of “fantasmatic logics”, we study how visual narratives of influencer marketing can contribute to making war preparations appear normal, void of political significance and even desirable. The figure of Lasse Matberg is read in conjunction with international rearmament and increasing geopolitical antagonism bound up with ideas of “traditional masculinity” and “feminization.” We argue that the muscular yet ambiguously “soft” figure of Lasse Matberg projects a symbolic remasculinization of the West, operating through a fantasmatic logic that seemingly reconciles the contradiction between a West, which is imperial and militarily muscular on the one hand and caring, democratic, and progressive on the other. By shedding light on NATO's use of influencer marketing to promote a military exercise, this article contributes novel insights into the ways in which the figure of the NATO soldier and NATO military buildup are produced as appealing, allowing an ambivalent gendered geopolitical imaginary to emerge.

Brazilian military service and preparation for the Second World War

The aim of this work is to analyze the development of the Military Service in Brazil during the 1930s and 1940s and the consequences of this recruitment structure for the creation of an expeditionary army division to fight in the Second World War. The Brazilian Army aimed to democratize the call for military service and promote the selection of the best physical and instructional outcomes for the country in the case of an eventual war. However, with the dodging of the middle and upper classes to be recruited, both during the peace and the Second World War, the recruitment focused predominantly on the most impoverished and lowest educated groups of the society. Nevertheless, it provided a group of soldiers to be better prepared than that which originated from the Military Service. This paper concludes that the war experience, however, did not impact the improvement of the Brazilian military service in times of peace.

Political repressions of the Soviet era in the party historical politics of modern Russia.

The political repressions of the Soviet era became one of the traumatic events for society, despite the past years, the assessment of their causes and consequences remains an important element of political discourse. Although the state authorities condemn them and define them as a crime, they focus on the achievements of the Soviet era. Against this background, political parties, within the framework of forming their own memory policy, have proposed different approaches to this tragic event of national history. The author of the article analyzes the attitude of parties to the causes and consequences of political repression, highlights certain features of the image they have formed and differences from the generally accepted assessment, suggestions for comment. The main sources were the programs of the most popular parties, interviews and publications of their leaders. The main conclusion of the study is the lack of a unified approach of modern parties to the problem of political repression. We can conditionally distinguish two large groups. The first group (the Communist Party, "Motherland", "Communists of Russia") is characterized by the recognition of repression as falsified or overestimated in order to discredit I.V. Stalin, whose image these parties largely mythologize. If individual violations of the rule of law are recognized, they are explained by the supreme necessity (modernization, preparation for war, the fight against conspiracy). The second group consists of parties condemning repression as an unjustified crime against the people. This group is not homogeneous: some ("Just Russia", "United Russia", to some extent LDPR) believe that this topic has been studied as a whole and it is enough to maintain the current commemorative practice; others (PARNAS, "Yabloko") expand the scope of repression for almost the entire existence of the USSR, insist on large-scale de-Stalinization and decommunization, referring to the practices of the historical policy of the countries of Eastern Europe.

ФЕНОМЕНЫ ПОГРЕБЕНИЯ, ПОГРАНИЧЬЯ, ПЕРЕХОДА В КОНТЕКСТЕ ИЗОБРАЖЕНИЙ ДРУГИХ В ГРЕЧЕСКОЙ ВАЗОПИСИ

Greek perception of the Others was syncretic: real facts were mixed with fantastic ideas; in their view the Others lived on the outskirts of the oikumene, that is on the border with the other worlds – in the broad sense – real and fantastic, the world of alive and dead – this connected them with the phenomena of borders, transition, burial, etc. Due to this, the Others in Greek art were often represented in mythological subjects and as mythological characters. Also, some subjects where the Others were represented were connected with the phenomena of transition and burial – war, preparations for war, hunt, etc. Also, some details of such images were connected with these phenomena. The semantics of the Greek vase painting was controversial and multilayered therefore interpretation of many of such images is disputable. Besides, the phenomena studied might be examined in a more narrow or more broad sense. Moreover, the connection of many characters represented with the other world, other gods and myths is much more complicated and outgoes far beyond the borders of the thematic connected with the Otherness.

In the Matter of Nat Turner: A Speculative History. By Christopher Tomlins. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2020. 372 pages. Cloth, ebook. During the past decade, a resurgence of scholarship examining nineteenth-century politics and abolition has broadened to emphasize the actions of the enslaved and the articulations of Black political strategies. Though this literature lies beyond the conventional chronological boundaries of early American and Atlantic history, its robust ideas concerning political resistance and the afterlives of revolutions, as well as its assessments of commercial and cultural currents crossing the Atlantic, should be of considerable interest to scholars of early American history. In particular, recent work on the early nineteenth century using various modes of analysis—including speculation, literary history, and Black radical intellectual traditions—shows the myriad ways that slavery, resistance, and moral reform [End Page 135] shaped early American politics. Both the methods deployed and the historical trajectories uncovered by these scholars should prove generative for early Americanists and Atlanticists in future framings of their inquiries. Above all, recent scholarship has shown the vitality of Black political engagement. In In the Matter of Nat Turner, Christopher Tomlins uses a “speculative” approach, deploying a skillful reading and imagining of the sources, to offer a compelling retelling of Nat Turner’s life, beliefs, and intellect as well as the political significance of his rebellion. Tomlins begins with a treatment of how Turner appears in public memory, literature, and history. This approach allows the reader to think through the origins of the assumptions that shape how historians interpret Turner and the rebellion. For instance, as Tomlins shows, historians C. Vann Woodward and Eugene D. Genovese were influenced by novelist William Styron’s The Confessions of Nat Turner in that they acknowledged the significance of the rebellion but remained largely dismissive of Turner as a credible historical figure and depicted him as a “hate-driven madman” (22).1 Tomlins reads the mediated testimony of Turner’s court deposition as a window into his biblical hermeneutics. He depicts Turner as not a fanatic but as an evangelical Christian who experienced sanctification and daily edification in preparation for holy war and makes the essential intervention of taking the theological interpretations of the enslaved seriously. More specifically, he shifts the focus from the conventional emphasis on Exodus and the Old Testament to the book of Luke in the New Testament. This move—away from drawing parallels between the enslaved and Old Testament Israelites and toward recognizing the self-image of Nat Turner, enslaved rebel, as sacrificial Christ figure—invites a level of analysis and complexity that the field desperately needs to understand the spiritual dimensions of resistance. According to Tomlins, “Turner is living entirely in sacred space and time, beyond Armageddon, his calling—at last clarified—to fight the final battle against Satan” (61). For Tomlins, the profoundly spiritual dimensions of Turner’s vision expose the problems with how scholars usually conceptualize resistance, which typically refers to the range of responses enacted by the enslaved to challenge enslavers and slavery itself, rather than to the epistemological foundations of resistance and their implications for broader debates. As Tomlins shows, responses to Turner even among white Virginians were far...

Brazilian military service and preparation for the Second World War

The objective of this work is to analyze the development of Brazil’s military service during the 1930s and 1940s, as well as the impact of its recruitment structure on an expeditionary army division to fight in the Second World War. During this time, the Brazilian Army aimed to democratize the call for military service and ensure the best outcomes for the country in the case of an eventual war. However, with the middle and upper classes dodging recruitment, both in peacetime and during the Second World War, recruitment focused predominantly on the most impoverished and lowest educated groups of society. Nevertheless, the expeditionary forces constituted a better prepared group of soldiers than that of the existing military service. This paper concludes that the experience of war, however, had no broader impact on Brazil’s military service in times of peace.

The Doctrine of “The Russian World” as a Political Ideology of Russian Aggression Against Ukraine

The article analyzes the conceptual foundations of the geopolitical doctrine of the "Russian world", which has become a political ideology and the basis of Russia's hybrid aggression against Ukraine. The imperial essence of Putin's Russia as the successor to the Russian and Soviet empires has been revealed. The concept of "Russian peace" is understood as an important element of Russia's revenge policy towards Ukraine and Ukrainians. It is proved that the Kremlin leadership and their supporters in Ukraine actively use this doctrine to deny the modern ethnocultural reality, namely, do not recognize Ukrainians as a separate, original people, but only a sub-ethnic group of the great Russians. The basic elements of the "Russian world" are described, first of all, the Russian Orthodox Church, the information component, the Russian language, culture, education, science, and so on. The criminal role of the "Russian world" in the preparation and course of the undeclared Russian-Ukrainian hybrid war has been clarified. Those regions of Ukraine where the "Russian world" became most widespread and popular among the anti-Ukrainian local population later became either easy prey for the aggressor (like Crimea) or an arena of bloody confrontation (like Donetsk and Luhansk regions). Conversely, where pro-Ukrainian forces were in the majority, they were able to stop the offensive of the "Russian world" – and the so-called "Russian spring". It is proved that the leaders of Russia and their henchmen purposefully deny and ignore the modern ethnocultural reality and actively implement in the spiritual, informational, linguistic, cultural, educational and scientific space of Ukraine ideas and principles of the "Russian world", which ultimately weakens the Ukrainian state. nation and Ukrainian national identity. The ways of overcoming and final liquidation of ideas, ideological bases, ideology, and basic elements of the "Russian world" by the Ukrainian state are offered. First of all, it is the elimination of the so-called lines of demarcation in Ukrainian society, the acquisition of strategic importance of state significance by Ukrainian studies, including the Ukrainian "soft power" of conciliar, diplomatic and political nature and the building of the Ukrainian Independent Conciliar State on Ukrainian-centric principles. modern renewed nationalism and Ukrainian studies as an educational humanities discipline, integrative science and patriotic worldview).
