Report on the Petition of Ebenezer Prout
[Philadelphia, November 21, 1792
Communicated on November 22, 1792]1
The Secretary of the Treasury, to whom was referred, by the House of Representatives, the petition of Ebenezer Prout,2 respectfully makes the following Report thereupon.
The said petition seeks compensation for the services of the petitioner, as Clerk to Joshua Mercereau, Assistant Commissary of prisoners, and William Hunt, Assistant Commissary of Issues.
The accounts of the said Joshua Mercereau have long since been settled. They include no charge for pay to the petitioner, but allowances, it is represented, were made him for compensations to persons, whom he had employed to assist him. Regularly he was entitled to a Clerk. The allowance, at this day, of a compensation to a person, who may have acted in that capacity, would be a very inconvenient precedent.
It is also stated to the Secretary, from the proper Office, that William Hunt received pay for himself and clerks, up to the 31st of October 1779, which, it is to be presumed, included the petitioner. He is not intitled to depreciation, according to the established rules on that head.
The claim is barred by the Acts of limitation,3 and no special circumstances appear, to recommend an exception to their operation in favor of the petitioner.
Which is respectfully submitted,
Secry. of the Treasry.
November 21st 1792.

An announcement has been made by the Virgin Atlantic for the launch of three new ways to fly economy as part of a multi-million-pound investment in the cabin for the 21st-century passenger.
From spring this year Virgin Atlantic will introduce Economy Classic, Economy Light tickets and Economy Delight as it recognized that one size doesn’t fit all.
These three new ways to fly will be allowing the customers to choose the product that suits their travel style and budget, also never compromising on inclusive food and beverages, in-flight entertainment and unrivaled service.
Economy Delight will offer a priority check-in, a seat with 34-inch legroom and boarding with an advanced seat assignment.
Economy Classic will now offer free seat assignment which provides extra reassurance for families and groups that they can travel sitting together.
The new Economy Light ticket will always offer Virgin Atlantic’s lowest fare which will make long-haul travel accessible affordable for millennials, and customers traveling on city breaks.
Passengers will not be able to make changes to their bookings and will only be allowed hang luggage.
Craig Kreeger, chief executive of Virgin Atlantic, said: “We’re unveiling the biggest change to our Economy cabin in over a decade – launching three new ways to fly, and a host of innovations on the ground and in the air as part of a wider £300 million investment in our customers. We know that one size doesn’t fit all, and from spring our customers can afford to be choosy and still travel in the UK’s leading economy cabin.”

The St Matthew Passion by J S Bach is the featured work in Arun Choral Society’s next concert on Saturday, April 9 in Arundel Cathedral.
Composed in 1729, the work was first heard at the Good Friday service in St Thomas’ Church in Leipzig where Bach was cantor and organist.
Spokeswoman Drinda Gibbons said: “It is important to remember that the work was intended as an act of worship, with the congregation joining in by singing the many chorales which were based on hymns well known by everyone. The Society hopes to recreate this atmosphere by inviting the audience to join with the choir in some of the chorales during the performance.”
The choir will be joined in the first chorus of the piece by the boys of the Dorset House School choir. The Sinfonia of Arun will accompany the choir with soloists John McMunn, Evangelist, Frederick Long, Christus, Vanessa Bowers, soprano, Katie bray, contralto, Sam Furness, tenor and Gareth John, bass.
The concert begins in the Cathedral at 7pm and tickets, costing £15 and £12 (restricted view) are available from the Arun Choral Society box office 01798 831234 and online at www.wegottickets.co.uk
Further information about the concert and the choir can be found on the Society website www.arunchoralsociety.co.uk

Franz SCHUBERT (1797-1828)
Impromptus, D899, D935 (1827)
Amir Katz (piano)
rec. 27-28 February 2015, Funkhaus Nalepasstrasse Saal 1, Berlin, Germany
ORFEO C898151A [63:37]
Amir Katz is an Israeli pianist in his early forties. His recordings include Chopin’s Nocturnes, Ballades and Impromptus, and Schubert’s Die Schöne Müllerin, with tenor Pavol Breslik. The song-cycle is especially relevant to this project, as Katz sees Schubert’s eight Impromptus as a “drama in eight stages”, almost a set of lieder without a singer. In his informative and provocative notes, Katz makes the point that the pieces in what we know as the second set (D935) were originally numbered 5-8, reinforcing the idea that Schubert conceived the impromptus as a continuous composition. Katz is a little vague on what story he believes Schubert to be telling. The narrative seems to be about journeys and fathers but you need not accept Katz’s perspective to enjoy what he does with this wonderful music.
Many great pianists have recorded these pieces. Katz belongs with the best. His playing is marked by clarity, with taut rhythms and rather controlled rubato and pedal. He avoids sentimentality and is thoughtful as to detail. His Schubert is very much a classicist, albeit one bursting with the ardent drama of early romanticism. Katz’s interpretation emphasizes the kinship of the Impromptus to the world of Schubert’s lieder, reminding the listener of such dramatic songs as “Der Zwerg” or “Der Doppelgänger”.
To compare Katz to some well-regarded Schubertians, his Impromptus are somewhat less lyrical than those of Maria-João Pires, but often more heroic. András Schiff’s recent fine fortepiano recording is softer-grained, and with fewer flashes of virtuosity. Listen to Katz’s exhilarating conclusion to the set at the end of D142 no. 4.
Orfeo provides rich and detailed sound for this disc, which is an exemplary piano recording.
This engaging and thoughtful recording sits comfortably along the finest versions of the Impromptus.

Secy of State John Kerry is in the Middle East, looking to get consensus as to what to do about the situation in Iraq, which appears to include some growing sentiment that a change in leadership may be in order. Meanwhile, stateside, President Obama is at the White House holding a “Working Families Summit.” As you can surmise, if Dad runs a giant hedge fund, that working family is not the focus. This is more geared towards families with stagnate earnings and employment issues, with a political eye on the November elections and the Middle Class vote.

By JEFFREY BISHKU-AYKUL
Assistant to the Editor
Music Teachers of Hyde Park (MTHP) is organizing the three-part MTHP Artist Series concerts at The United Church of Hyde Park, 1448 E 53rd St., slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. this Monday, March 18.
The performances will be MTHP’s first in the building, and will benefit both the church and the organization, according to voice instructor and group president Andrea Holliday.
The series will take place alongside MTHP’s regular programming at Blackstone Library, 4904 S. Lake Park Ave. The group sought to also play in a more visible venue than the library.
“The building is a gem of a building, but it’s hard to see from the street,” Holliday said. Its basement is not a “glamorous” location for adult professionals to perform in, she added.
Library hours also led MTHP to schedule its regular concerts there at 6:30 p.m., an earlier time than ideal, according to Holliday and Sheu.
Although the series is not technically a fundraiser, Holliday said the MTHP wanted to support the church by increasing its visibility and that audience members will be invited to make donations to the church.
“The other thing is that 53rd Street is an important part of Hyde Park and we see this church struggling to maintain that building and not getting a lot of attention itself.”
MTHP approached Pastor Larry Turpin about holding the series at his church. The group will be using the space at a reduced rate.
“We work hard to keep [the building] up in good condition for our use and for the many organizations that do use it,” he said.
“We’re glad to welcome the community in, and so we’re just delighted to have an opportunity to show off the building and our piano and invite people in and welcome them.”
The church’s sanctuary houses a rebuilt Mason and Hamlin piano around a century old, according to Turpin.
Holliday says she visited the venue decades ago for performances by the ensemble Music of the Baroque, which her husband, musician Thomas Wikman, founded in 1971.
“It’s wonderful. It has a large capacity for seating,” she said, adding that “we got plenty of room for people and no matter where you sit in that church you can see and hear very very well.”
In addition to this week’s concert, two more are scheduled to take place at the church at 7:30 p.m. on both April 15 and May 20. April’s performances will feature pianists Alice Sheu and Laura Fenster as well as vocalist William Bouvel, while May’s will also include Sheu as well as Holliday, Wikman, violist Daniel Golden and clarinetist Bradley Brickner.
For more information about the series, call Andrea Holiday at 773-363-3526 or visit mthp.org.

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental illnesses in the U.S., affecting nearly 40 million adults, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only 36.9% of those suffering actually receive treatment. Generally, people with anxiety disorders are three to five times more likely to visit a doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric disorders than those who do not suffer from anxiety disorders. Furthermore, the discrepancy between people who receive treatment and those who seek medical attention is alarming. Additionally, the cost of treatment and medical visits can become quite high, especially for people who lack access to adequate healthcare coverage. Typical low-cost treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy can cost roughly USD 100.00 or more per hour. Plus, some healthcare insurers do not provide coverage for certain medications, making it increasingly difficult for people suffering from anxiety to manage their conditions. Consequently, many people have decided to turn to CBD or cannabidiol to suppress their anxiety disorders. CBD is a derivative of cannabis, but unlike its marijuana counterpart, the compound does not cause psychotropic effects on the consumer. Instead, CBD offers a relaxing effect in addition to a handful of therapeutic benefits. As such, it is now commonly being used for health and wellness purposes, however, researchers have determined that CBD can also be used to alleviate more serious medical conditions. Notably, medical practitioners have prescribed CBD to patients to better manage symptoms associated with severe conditions such as cancer, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and epilepsy. In particular, the use of CBD to relieve anxiety has become increasingly popular due to the sheer number of people suffering from anxiety disorders. And as a result, the global cannabidiol market is expected to increase from USD 303 Million in 2018 to USD 2.28 Billion by 2025 while registering a CAGR of 33.5%, according to data compiled by QY Research.
The human body has many different types of receptors that are attached to cells. CBD is thought to interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are most commonly found throughout the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, respectively. Although the exact method of how CBD affects CB1 receptors in the brain isn’t fully understood yet, researchers believe it may alter serotonin signals, according to Healthline. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in mental health as low-levels of serotonin are commonly associated with people who suffer from depression. In some cases, not having enough serotonin can also cause anxiety. For generalized anxiety disorder, the National Institute on Drug Abuse noted that CBD has been shown to reduce anxiety in animals such as rats. Moreover, according to other studies, test subjects were observed having lower behavioral signs of anxiety. Additionally, their physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as increased heart rate, also improved. Furthermore, researchers have also discovered that CBD can be used to treat other forms of anxiety such as social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. In 2011, a study concluded that people suffering from social anxiety disorder experienced reduced anxiety levels. On the other hand, multiple recent studies have shown that CBD helped manage PTSD symptoms such as nightmares and the replaying of negative memories. However, despite ongoing advancements within the CBD marketspace, researchers have noted that there isn’t enough evidence gathered from clinical trials of CBD to officially approve it as a medication for anxiety disorders. Regardless, consumers can simply purchase CBD-based products such as tinctures, beverages, topicals, and even flower at retailers and even online e-commerce platforms. “Evidence points toward a calming effect for CBD in the central nervous system. Interest in CBD as a treatment of a wide range of disorders has exploded, yet few clinical studies of CBD exist in the psychiatric literature,” according to an abstract of a study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine by researchers Scott Shannon, MD, Nicole Lewis, ND, Heather Lee, PA-C, and Shannon Hughes, PhD. “Cannabidiol may hold benefit for anxiety-related disorders.”

The aim of the thesis is to realize precise control of permanent magnet synchronous motor. On a motor's shaft a siren is mounted, which during rotation emits sound of exactly defined frequencies. Frequency converter with motion controller is used for motor control and rotor position is measured by incremental encoder. In the first part of the thesis procedures how to properly set frequency converter and motion controller are introduced. Then follows a description of a program which is responsible for the proper communication between the motor and motion controller.
For better understanding of permanent magnet synchronous motor’s operation, his role in modern electric drives and advantages and disadvantages are presented. Frequency converter and incremental encoder principle of operation is also explained.
Then follows a description of hardware components of the drive. Focus is mainly on frequency converter Danfoss FC 302 and motion controller MCO 305, which is characterized by high accuracy and dynamic capability. For every component some key technical data are given. Practical work with frequency converter, in which it is necessary to properly set number of parameters to establish correct operation of the drive, is presented. Software environment Aposs, which is responsible for the proper drive control is also described.
The last chapter introduces instructions how to use presented drive to generate the desired melody. Each user without a special knowledge can enter new program code for any optional song.

On Tuesday morning, NBC News reported that the Trump administration will seek to decriminalize homosexuality in “dozens of nations,” citing unnamed U.S. officials.
But LGBT and human rights groups largely responded with skepticism—both over the report itself and the sincerity of the Trump administration’s motives.
“If this commitment is real, we have a lot of questions about their intentions and commitments, and are eager to see what proof and action will follow,” said Human Rights Campaign senior international policy advocate Jeremy Kadden in a statement.
In addition to the Trump administration’s anti-LGBT domestic policies, Kadden pointed to the ongoing anti-LGBT violence in Chechnya—and the administration’s reported inaction in addressing it—as reason to approach the NBC News report with caution.
“Donald Trump and Mike Pence have turned a blind eye to a campaign of violence and murder targeting LGBTQ people in Chechnya that has stretched on for two years,” said Kadden. “They have turned away LGBTQ people fleeing violence and persecution and sent them back to countries that criminalize them, and have consistently worked to undermine the fundamental equality of LGBTQ people and our families here at home from day one.”
NBC News reported early Tuesday that U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, who is openly gay, would be launching the decriminalization campaign in Berlin on Tuesday night in conjunction with European LGBT advocates.
In a statement to The Daily Beast, a State Department spokesperson confirmed that the meeting between Grenell and “11 activists from different countries in Europe” took place—and that it “was an opportunity to listen to and discuss ideas on how the U.S. can advance decriminalization of LGBTI status and conduct around the world.”
“The United States continues to work to protect and defend human rights for all,” the spokesperson said. “Governments have an obligation to ensure that all people can freely enjoy the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms to which they are entitled.”
The State Department did not characterize this is as a change in position for the Trump administration, saying that “from [the] beginning of this administration,” the United States “firmly opposes criminalization, violence, and serious acts of discrimination such as in housing, employment and government services, directed against LGBTI persons.”
“This is not a policy departure,” the spokesperson stated. “It is longstanding and bipartisan U.S. policy.”
According to NBC News, the campaign will focus on countries where homosexuality is still against the law, primarily in the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean.
But in the immediate aftermath of the NBC News report, some expressed concern that these efforts would be focused more on Iran than on anti-gay countries that Trump favors—and that have closer relationships with the United States government.
“From the report, it does seem like it’s quite an instrumentalized move—if it’s true—around Iran,” Graeme Reid, director of the LGBT rights program at Human Rights Watch, told The Daily Beast. (Reid also told The Daily Beast that the NBC News report was “a surprise to everyone I know” and that there had been “no advance warning of it.”)
According to the NBC News report, the campaign “was conceived partly in response to the recent reported execution by hanging of a young gay man in Iran”—an incident that Grenell highlighted in a recent op-ed for the German newspaper Bild. That detail raised questions about this new campaign to decriminalize homosexuality—especially amid the administration’s continuing efforts to establish an anti-Iran international coalition.
Former CIA analyst and Obama-era National Security Council spokesman Ned Price tweeted that the Trump administration “will have to be as forceful with our adversaries, namely Iran, around which this policy is built, as they are with their friends and allies, including Saudi Arabia, [United Arab Emirates], and Russia.”
If the campaign is motivated in part out of a desire to persuade European nations to join in U.S. in opposition to Iran, Reid warns that it could actually backfire on LGBT people in the Middle Eastern country, who are already at risk of being killed due to their sexual orientation.
“Whenever gay rights are instrumentalized—either in a negative way or in a positive way, as in this situation—it often negatively affects LGBT people on the ground,” he told The Daily Beast.
Until the human rights community learn more about this reported campaign, Reid says he cannot say “categorically” that this is the motivation for it. But he would generally caution against using LGBT people as pawns within broader foreign policy initiatives rather than working to advance LGBT equality alongside a coalition of other countries.
When world leaders choose the former strategy, Reid told The Daily Beast, LGBT lives become “symbolic political terrain,” potentially putting them at further risk.
“For those people who are living under conditions in which same-sex relations are outlawed or there’s a public hostility toward LGBT people, that hostility can increase if this becomes a very politicized issue,” said Reid. “These issues issues need to be dealt with carefully and they need to be dealt with with strong international allies.”
According to a recent report from the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association, Iran is one of over 70 countries in which same-sex sexual activity is illegal and one of only four in which a death penalty for homosexuality is codified in the law and implemented at a country level. Also among those four, however, is Saudi Arabia—a country that, as NBC News noted, President Trump has “staunchly defended.”
Most notably, President Trump has largely stood by Saudi Arabia even in the face of the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, despite widespread condemnation from Republican senators. (Trump has also praised other leaders of countries in which LGBT people can be subject to severe penalties, like Egypt, as NBC News noted.)
The president’s record of praise for strongmen on the international stage is just one of many factors that has made human rights advocates skeptical of any new initiatives.
“It’s not an administration that’s known for championing human rights internationally in general, so it would come as a surprise if one issue is singled out as priority of the administration at this particular time,” he told The Daily Beast.
Other LGBT advocates highlighted what they see as the hypocrisy of attacking LGBT rights at home while rolling back protections domestically. GLAAD for example, pointed to the administration’s LGBT record at home to cast doubt on the reported campaign.
But Jerri Ann Henry, executive director of the LGBT conservative organization Log Cabin Republicans, told The Daily Beast that she found it “a little saddening to see everybody so negative about a really great thing.”
“I’m excited to see it,” she said. “Of course, I want to see follow-through on it.”
Whatever catalyzed the campaign, Henry believes that it is important for the LGBT community to stand in support of decriminalization efforts abroad, saying that “we need to be firm on that front.”
“In no way, shape, form, or fashion can I guess as to what has gone through the administration’s mind and what their motivation might be,” Henry said. “But whatever the motivation, it is still a good thing and I still think we should be celebrating that and taking a stand on this issue.”
At worst, Henry warns, greeting news like the Tuesday NBC report with immediate criticism could disincentive the administration from undertaking LGBT initiatives.
“If everybody attacks the president for doing a good thing, I see him having very little motivation to do that again,” said Henry.

In light of Russian propaganda, Haaretz is delving into the concept of Ukrainian nationalism, to better understand its historical and contemporary meaning, and find out where the Azov Battalion fits in
A little over a year ago, a robust public debate began in Ukraine surrounding the parade by ultranationalist groups in Kyiv commemorating the Ukrainian SS division known as the 1st Galician. Hundreds of people marched in the capital city center with the flags of the Ukrainian volunteer unit established in April 1943, as part of the Waffen SS.
Ceremonies and parades honoring the division had been held regularly in previous years in Lviv, but the demonstration in the capital aroused far more interest. Russian propaganda had a field day, blowing the event out of proportion. Israel and Germany issued condemnations, as did President Zelenskyy and his party members; Kyiv municipal authorities also distanced themselves from it.
This February, the “de-Nazification” of Ukraine became one of Russia’s leading excuses for its invasion. For years, Russian state broadcasts have been pumping messages about the “fascist regime” in Kyiv and aired torchlight parades in Ukraine honoring the nationalist Ukrainian leader in the 1930s and 1940s, Stepan Bandera. The campaign reached a fever pitch on February 21 in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech to the nation, in which he accused Ukraine of “the genocide of almost four million [Donbas residents] who didn’t agree with the coup … and rose up against a movement of nationalism and savage, aggressive neo-Nazism.”
It is not just homages to a Ukrainian SS unit or flag marches that fuel Russian propaganda. Upon the capture of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov boasted of the “surrender of the Azov Nazis,” and pro-Russian media outlets and Telegram channels shared videos showed the Ukrainian captives coming out of the plant taking off their clothes and allegedly revealing Nazi tattoos – a swastika, the numbers 14 and 88, the symbols of the SS, and the Black Sun symbol. Some Russian lawmakers are now calling to ban any exchange of the Azovstal prisoners for Russian ones, to have them tried and to overturn the ban on capital punishment.
In light of the Russian propaganda and Ukrainian counter-propaganda, Haaretz is delving into the concept of Ukrainian nationalism, to better understand its historical and contemporary meaning, and find out where the Azov Battalion fits in.
The two historical names most associated with the term “Ukrainian nationalism” are Stepan Bandera, leader of one of the factions of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (ONU) during World War II, and Roman Shukhevych, commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, the organization’s military wing. Since 2014, dozens of streets in Ukraine have been named after the two men, who are commemorated on boulevards in Kyiv as well.
Bandera operated underground for most of his life, and spent almost a total of a decade in prison – in Poland before the war, and during it in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Germany. In 1959, he was murdered by a KGB agent while living as an exile in Germany and became a national icon. In the Soviet narrative, and now the Russian, Bandera’s name symbolizes Ukrainian nationalists’ collaborations with the Nazis, and the expression “Bandera men” has become an insult. To some Ukrainian exiles and dissidents in the past, and some Ukrainians today, Bandera has become synonymous with a Ukrainian freedom fighter.
The truth, it seems, is in the middle. “Most collaborators, including those who helped the Nazis persecute the Jews in occupied Ukraine, were not Ukrainian nationalists,” says Andriy Usach, a historian at Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv and head of the After the Silence organization, which collects testimonies about World War II. “German researchers place the number of Ukrainians who participated in persecution of the Jews – those who served in the police, village leaders, and so on – at 30,000-40,000. I think the number was higher – up to 90,000 people. Most were not Ukrainian nationalists.
Most Ukrainian nationalists, for their part, were not collaborators and did not serve in the police," he says. "This does not negate the fact that among Ukrainian nationalists, some served in the police and took part in the Holocaust. This doesn’t mean that they killed with their own hands, but they guarded mass murder sites – which is to say, they bore direct responsibility for all the Jews of a given town who were murdered. This issue was not discussed for a long time. The number of Ukrainian historians who dealt with the subject can be counted on two hands.”
According to Yuri Radchenko, a Jewish Ukrainian historian and director of the Center for Research on Interethnic Relations in Eastern Europe, Bandera was just another local ultranationalist leader whose importance has been overblown, partly because the purging of alternatives in Soviet Ukraine. The OUN followed “a totalitarian-authoritarian ideology, with a significant antisemitic component and an affinity for Nazi Germany,” says Radchenko.
An example of this ideology can be found in the summary document of the OUN conference held in Krakow in April 1941, where the organization’s plan to achieve Ukrainian independence under war conditions was set. “The Jews in the Soviet Union are the most devoted supporters of the Bolshevik regime and the vanguard of Moscow’s imperialism in Ukraine,” states the section referring to Jews, adding: “The anti-Jewish sentiments of the Ukrainian masses serve the Moscow government to divert their attention from the real cause of the catastrophe and to direct them to pogroms against the Jews at a time of collapse. The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists fights the Jews as the bulwark of the Muscovite-Bolshevik regime, while reminding the masses that Moscow is the main enemy.”
In 1940, the OUN split into two factions – one led by Bandera, which was considered to be more radical, and the one led by Andriy Melnyk, considered to be more moderate, but also more antisemitic. According to Radchenko, Melnyk, as opposed to Bandera, had his signature on antisemitic flyers. According to the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center’s history of the Holocaust in Ukraine, edited by Holocaust researcher Karel Berkhoff, members of Melnyk’s OUN aided the Nazis after the conquest of Kyiv. They contributed greatly to the formation of the local police auxiliary, which threatened local residents with death if they did not hand over Jews, Soviet secret police members and communists, and served as translators for the SS Einsatzgruppen that carried out the murders at Babyn Yar, as well as many others.
For their part, the members of Bandera’s faction made up the two famous battalions, Roland and Nachtigall, which were established at the beginning of 1941 in advance of the German invasion of the Soviet Union and were trained by the Abwehr, German military intelligence. In the fall of 1941, the two battalions were broken up and reorganized into a single battalion of Ukrainian auxiliary police, the Schutzmannschaft, which fought against partisans in Belarus. Members of the OUN and UPA killed Jews without orders from the Nazis, mostly out of the belief that the Jews were active or potential collaborators with the Soviets, said Usach. For example, two incidents of executions of Jews in Ukraine by the Nachtigall are known. Roman Shukhevych was the deputy commander of that battalion. As for the Roland Battalion, no evidence exists that it participated in executions.
The attitude of the Ukrainian nationalists, especially the Bandera faction toward the Nazis changed over the course of the war. Their tensions with Germany erupted in the summer of 1941, when it became clear that the Germans had no intention whatsoever of promoting Ukrainian independence. Bandera was isolated from his supporters, and within a short time he was imprisoned. The tensions between the Ukrainian battalions and the German command led to their dissolution in 1942, and in 1943 the army of Ukrainian rebels headed by Shukhevych – which was partially composed of the former soldiers of the Roland and Nachtigall battalions – was fighting against everyone else: The Soviets, Germans, Jews, and Poles; based on some testimonies, dit id not show mercy for the Ukrainian rural community, either.
The antisemitic views of the nationalists may have softened during the war, but only in a minor way. “In 1942, there was a document in which Bandera’s men stated that the destruction of the Jews was a German matter, in which they were not taking part,” says Usach. “But at the same time, almost no Jews remained in Ukraine. Remorse was not voiced over previous statements on the. The OUN also never established a network to aid the Jews, in contrast for example to the Polish underground, which also had a lot of antisemites, and its members murdered Jews too.”
No longer antisemites
Bandera’s and Shukhevych’s controversial actions have served as a tool of anti-Ukrainian propaganda in Russia and put the patriotic segments of Ukrainian society in a sensitive position – between reappropriating nationalism and defensiveness. “In terms of public awareness, the only thing that is important about these two figures is that they fought for Ukrainian independence, period,“ says Vyacheslav Likhachev, a historian and public activist with Israeli citizenship who has lived in Ukraine for decades. “All the details that are important to other people are not important as far as the Ukrainian public is concerned, especially after 2014, when the attention to them became relevant based on the Ukraine’s struggle for independence.”
But in practice, the situation is much more complicated. The names Shukhevych and Bandera were at the center of a public dispute in Ukraine even before 2014. Declaring them national heroes and naming streets and other sites after them was a matter for debate and public and legal dispute since at least 2007, and still continues. A survey conducted last year by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation in cooperation with the Razumkov Center, a Ukrainian public policy think tank, showed that 46 percent of Ukrainians supported recognition of the soldiers of the Ukrainian rebel army as having fought for Ukraine’s independence. Thirty-two percent of respondents felt Stepan Bandera’s activities had a positive effect on Ukraine. As might be expected, support for the rebel army and Bandera was significantly stronger in western Ukraine compared to the center – and much more so than in the east and south.
Canadian journalist Michael Colborne, who monitors the far right in Ukraine and around the world, recently wrote a book on the Azov movement: “From the Fires of War: Ukraine’s Azov Movement and the Global Far Right.” He says that people who are active in the Ukrainian public sphere often promote the controversial figures, organizations and symbols linked to them. “They do so not because they are right wing-extremists or radical nationalists. They see the positive side of national liberation, but unfortunately don’t want to recognize or deal with the more complex sides of these movements and the horrors they took part in.”
Ukrainian political sociologist Volodymyr Ishchenko, a researcher at the Institute of Eastern European Studies of the Free University of Berlin, is more scathing in his analysis. The far right in Ukraine influences politics much more than one might conclude from its electoral size, said Ishchenko. The far-right Svoboda (“freedom”) party may have only won slightly more than 2 percent of the vote in the most recent parliamentary election and failed to pass the electoral threshold, but Ishchenko makes it clear that as far as he is concerned, the far right has managed to set the public agenda even without representation in the parliament.
“What was the goal of the radicals until 2014 – banning the Communist Party, the Russification of the OUN, has become mainstream, beginning in 2014,” he says. Since 2014, when Russia seized the Crimean Peninsula and the Russian-backed separatist war in the Donbas began, the far right has received support outside of parliament too, Ishchenko adds. “They received access to weapons, the possibility of shaping organized ideological groups, and in politics of this type they had no competitors.”
Ishchenko says that an example of this is the blocking of amendments to the constitution meant to grant a special status to the Donbas region, in line with the Minsk Protocol, which was supposed to end the Donbas war. In 2015, after parliament gave initial approval to the amendments, Svoboda activists held a violent protest next to the parliament building that ended in a grenade being thrown that killed four police officers who were guarding the building. In the end, the law failed to move forward. Another incident showing the far right’s influence on policy came in October 2019, when Azov veterans occupied the village of Zolote in the Luhansk region and refused to leave, in spite of President Zelenskyy’s intention to withdraw Ukrainian forces from the town to begin the implementation of the Minsk Protocol, says Ishchenko.
He says that according to polling, Ukrainians mostly approved of the Minsk agreements in 2015 and opposed the “no-surrender” campaign the right wing launched in 2019. “There is a pretty large gap between what Ukrainian society thinks and Ukrainian civil society thinks – that is, activists who voice their opinions on social media and go out and protest.”
Institutionalization and moderation
In his book, Colborne describes the Azov movement, which grew out of the battalion, as an umbrella organization under whose auspices there are different groups with varying degrees of closeness to itself. In recent years, this umbrella has become a place where the entire radical right in Ukraine moves. At the heart of the movement are the Azov Battalion and the National Corps party led by Andriy Biletsky, who previously stood at the head of the far-right organization Patriot of Ukraine, was one of the founders of the neo-Nazi organization the Social-National Assembly and has espoused white supremacist beliefs on many occasions.
Biletsky was the first commander of the Azov Battalion and continues to represent the unit in his public appearances, even though he is no longer officially connected to it. A long list of other organizations are linked to the Azov movement, whether officially or not, including ones involved in violence, including attacks on feminists, LGBTQ groups, communists and pro-Russian activists, says Colborne.
Feminist historian Marta Havryshko says that a few years ago, she participated in a meeting held by a LGBTQ group in Kharkiv and received to threats from the extremist Tradition and Order organization, which both Havryshko and Colborne say has connections to the Azov movement. Because of the threats, the location of the meeting was not made public and participants were only informed of the location at the last moment.
Tradition and Order activists went to a different location, where they expected the meeting would be held, with flyers and gas canisters, she says. “That is the atmosphere in which we needed to conduct the discussion. The organizers realized that it could spill over into violence. When this threat is constantly in the background, it is not a comfortable feeling.”
In spite of this, Colborne says that the Azov Battalion has undergone changes and become established over the years. In the first few years after it was founded, just a small minority of its soldiers had a connection to the far right; today, these numbers are even smaller and the use of neo-Nazi symbols among its members has been reduced greatly, he says.
The Azov Battalion and the entire Azov movement are almost completely untainted by antisemitism now, he adds. “Not only for Azov but for all the far-right movements in Ukraine, especially since 2014, antisemitism has lost its importance. When I compare this to what is happening with the extreme right in other countries in Europe, the level of antisemitism and the open antisemitic rhetoric there is much higher than anything I have seen in the right-wing movements in Ukraine in recent years.” White supremacy is also not an idea that the leaders of the far right, with Biletsky at their head, have been publicly endorsing in the past few years.
Nonetheless, besides for Ukrainian patriotism, the Azov movement and radical right in Ukraine in general have been left with a collection of conservative values that very much remind one of the ideologies the Kremlin relies on today: Opposition to feminism, hatred of the LGBTQ community and devotion to “traditional values.”
“What happened to Russia, and specifically to Putin, in recent years is growing much closer to the ‘Nazis’ against whom he claims he is fighting in Ukraine,” Colborne says. “There are differences between them, but they are much closer on the ideological spectrum that what any of the sides wants to admit.”

When it rains, it pours. ECM REI had to put out an announcement explaining that its website’s disappearance had been caused by unidentified technical errors caused by its service provider. Too many hits, perhaps? Bloomberg reported that the company’s share price finally rose yesterday after a five-day slump on news that bondholders had agreed on a restructuring consultancy (Ernst & Young).
While that’s at least positive, higher up on the same webpage, there’s news about Liverpool football club’s loan default agony and further wranglings over the demise of Lehman Brothers.
Today’s news, that ECM has delayed payment on a euro bond coupon, won’t come as a surprise, nor will its explanation that the decision was taken in light of ongoing restructuring talks. A vote on the new plan is scheduled for November 4.

Great recipe! Wish I would have doubled it as it is not a lot of stew. I also would cook the onion and celery a bit more than I did. Added some garlic powder. It other than that it was the best oyster stew I have had.
We loved it. First time I used flour, celery, and onions in the stew. My husband was impressed! Will make it again next Christmas Eve! Thanks for the recipe.
My oysters just melted into the stew, turned to liquid. What could have caused this to happen? The stew was not hot enough to boil. I used two pints of oysters and couldn’t find even one.
Hi Mitzi, hmm don’t know what happened there! Could be the variety of oyster? This stew is often served puréed, so it shouldn’t really make much of a difference in the taste.
Super simple and fast, excellent, we melted Swiss cheese (1/2 cup) right before severing. Was wondering if you could sub with lobster meat?
Hi, Belinda! Sure, I think you could swap in lobster meat. I think that would taste great. Enjoy!
I love this recipe but I offer a slight change to the above recipe by adding equal amounts of freshly grated Swiss and parmesan cheese (about a half cup of each) to the creamy soup mixture along with a splash of cooking sherry. Talk about the most elegant dinner soup that is beyond delicious and will have your guests demanding the secret ingredients to an old favorite!!!
If you find yourself, as I do, being an oyster stew fan but live with a family of non lovers you can still enjoy the wonderful taste. Whenever the occasion arrives of a family feast of potato soup I patiently await my plan. When the large pot of potato soup is just about done, I spring into action. Laddle a serving or two of the potato soup into a medium sauce pan along with some extra shallots and celery and a dollup of extra butter. Simmer until potatoes and celery are done. Add oysters (even canned oyster will do) and simmer until edges curl. Done. Ignore the rude comments about the smell like I do and enjoy this selfish moment. They don’t know what they are missing.
serve over mash cream potatoes and cream corn. unforgetable
I have had this recipie around for a long time but never used it until today. DELICIOUS BUT, cooking times left the celery and onion a bit crunchy even though finely minced. Next time I think I will cook them separately in a bit of butter and incorporate them into the rue when a bit softer. Great flavor.
I live in Louisiana. I have made oyster soup since grade school from my Mawmaw’s recipe. Much simpler, oysters, milk, butter, salt and pepper. It is soooooo delicious. Lick every drop out of the bowl good. Your article has me craving a bowl or two. :)
I agree with you, Cyndie. I use that very recipe, just like my mother did. Yummy!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!!! I am from Maine and I am very familiar with the simple version of oyster stew mentioned frequently above. Never could stand the stuff -boring, no flavor, thin. Didn’t really matter because when you have a delicious lobster and steamers at hand, who needs oysters? I moved to Virginia last year and there went my easy access to lobsters and steamers. Shucked oysters are easy to come by here, however, so I made the oyster stew version I grew up with – oysters and their liquor, milk, butter, salt and pepper. It was just as unappealing as I remembered. Tonight I came across your recipe and decided to give it a try. Oh my God! SO good! Made it according to your directions except I also added about a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. The flavors and the texture of the stew were phenomenal. I also discovered I have always been seriously overcooking oysters. Adding them in and cooking them gently for just a few minutes made a huge difference. Thanks to you, I can now say I love Oyster Stew! :-)
1 8oz can of whole oysters
1 can of mushroom soup
1 can of milk
This is as simple as it gets and oh so good.
Melt 1/4 to 1/3 stick of butter (prefferably unsalted) in a sauce pan just til barely bubbling. Add 1 eight ounce can of whole oysters with juice. I like to roughly break them up a bit between thumb and forefinger (have found 2 tiny pearls this way and sister has chipped a tooth on one because she doesnt check this way.) Add fresh ground pepper to taste, which for me is ALOT. barely bring to simmer. Add 1 can of campbells mushroom soup and 1 can of milk and heat stirring often.
You can play with sauted onion, celery whatever. I prefer it just as it is.
This was OK but not exceptional to my taste. The very first oyster stew recipe I invented (too lazy to look one up) is still the best I’ve tried: melt a half stick butter on medium to the point of just barely bubbling, dump in the entire jar of shucked oysters juice and all, stir it around until it turns opaque, then slowly stir in about two cups of half and half (doesn’t have to be precise, however liquidy you like it) until it is steamy, but not boiling. Add salt and pepper to taste.
It tastes exquisite just like that, but if you’ve tried it and want it a little thicker you can do what people have done for thousands of years: crumble a Ritz cracker into it. ;-)
This brings to mind MFK Fisher’s Consider The Oyster. Her writing made me want to try oyster stew despite disliking oysters. She made it sound wonderful.
No two ways about it, this is one of my favorite dishes. One option I would recommend is to serve it with a bottle of Tabasco on the table. I think that the addition of a little Tabasco crowns an already princely dish.
Well about the oyster stew I don’t know, but I know about oyster soup – simpy delicious!
You can try; here the recipe:
1 big chopped onion
2 chopped tomatoes
Olive oil just to brown onions
1 bay leave
Freshly ground black pepper
100grs shushi rice
Lemon juice green fresh chilies
3 tins smoked oysters
½ cup parsley and fresh coriander, minced
Make a stew with olive oil, tomatoes, bay leave and onions;
Add rice and water to cook;
When the rice is cooked, add the oysters and more hot water to make your soup;
Add salt and pepper and 1 or 2 finely chopped green chilies;
Switch off the fire. Add lemon juice, the minced parsley and fresh coriander.
Oyster stew is a New Years Eve tradition in my family, served with warm sourdough bread or rolls.
I make it much the same way, but add diced White Rose potatoes to celery and onion sauteed in butter – no flour roux here. Add milk, cream, oysters,fresh ground pepper and a shot of hot sauce … darn now I’m hungry!
I love a plate of nice fresh slurpy oysters! Or fat fried ones. My southern grandmother would agree with others that oyster stew does not involve flour; just cream/milk, butter, pepper and oyster liquid. This version sounds pretty tasty tho.
Definitely going to try this, I love oysters and can get them in my local market(I’ve even become quite a dab hand at shucking them myself). I love them raw and cooked with breadcrumbs, parsley (a splash of pastis)garlic and butter. This will add yet another way to eat them!
Interesting how comments are dividing up by region. I also remember a version of this stew that my grandmother made which I think was as the others from Georgia have said, just simple milk, butter, oysters. And I know that she used canned oysters. Probably some economic factors there as well. And I’m pretty sure I never ate it, although I might try it now that I’m older and a little more culinarily (is that a word) adventurous.
this looks lovely, but as others have stated, it is NOT oyster stew:-)Oyster stew is milk,butter, oysters, their liquor, and pepper. Perhaps some salt if needed. Nothing better than real oyster stew with freshly shucked oysters. I was born and raised in coastal GA, and we used to go out in a little flat bottom boat, pick oysters then come back and have an oyster roast, and with the leftover oysters make oyster stew. Ummm sooo good!

London, UK – IHTBB (It Has To Be Brilliant) has successfully made the transition from printer to full-service marketing agency integrating traditional print and digital channels to help their clients deliver compelling and engaging stories.
Responding to the changing landscape the London-based company were looking for ways to diversify and effectively help their major consumer brand and B2B clients deliver real value. They worked with Transeo Media to help implement their vision and added data-driven personalised multi-channel marketing automation to its portfolio of services.
Strategy Director, Tony Kenton said “Our new vision was simple. To help our customers sell as much of their product or service as possible. We euphemistically call it – selling fish. Of course, print is just one part of our customers’ needs and that is why we had to change. Their real need is to communicate intelligently and personally across all digital channels and print, utilising data to target content at every stage. The Transeo Media integrated solution and services enabled us to offer a complete solution. It has been essential.”
The IHTBB solution is based on EFI MarketDirect, a fully integrated platform to create highly personalised campaigns that uses CRM data to join up, personalise and measure automated marketing campaigns whether they be inbound, outbound using direct mail, web, email, mobile and even social media.
Brilliant decided to buy the software through Transeo Media.
Kenton continues: “To be clear. It is not just about software. While MarketDirect is tremendously easy to use and powerful, we went with Transeo Media because of the extra support and commercial training they provide. Over the years I have been involved in a number of big projects for major corporations and Transeo are the best I have worked with. They understand the importance of being timely, efficient and the use of best practices for client development. They have helped move our project along quickly whilst keeping it agile enough for us to provide a really competitive offering to the market. We would recommend Transeo Media to anyone."
Alex Granat, Commercial Director at Transeo Media commented “Brilliant have bucket loads of creative energy and major brand clients, and simply needed a solution to turn that energy into customer value. Being part of IHTBB’s transformation is something we are extremely proud of. We’re finding that all forward-thinking printers are recognising the need to diversify in order to meet the changing market. With MarketDirect we’re positioning ourselves with a range of solutions and services to help them easily rise to the challenge, and without breaking the bank.“
Kenton concludes “In these times of ever increasing change, having strong relationships in place to meet an evolving market is essential. Transeo Media doesn’t just supply and support customers with software, it supports them in making their solutions a successful part of their business.”

The political influence of peer groups: experimental evidence in the classroom
Hargreaves Heap, Shaun
Leon, Fernanda L.L. de
- Publisher: Oxford Economic Papers
People who belong to the same group often behave alike. Is this because people with similar preferences naturally associate with each other or because group dynamics cause individual preferences and/or the information that they have to converge? We address this question with a natural experiment. We find no evidence that peer political identification affects individual identification. But we do find that peer engagement affects political identification: a more politically engaged peer group encourages individual political affiliation to move from the extremes to the centre.
