Between 1949 and 1951, scholars from Harvard University's Russian Research Center conducted over 700 interviews with Soviet displaced persons and émigrés. Rather than audio record the conversations, which took place in Russian or Ukrainian, interviewers wrote detailed notes throughout the interviews and recorded their notes in English.The only surviving records are the non-verbatim transcripts of the interviewers' audio recordings. For the most part, contemporary Soviet historians use the Harvard Project transcripts as " depositories of fact. " In this article, I argue that when we read the transcripts closely and with a mind to their context, we can look beyond what the respondents recalled to examine how Soviet émigrés actively remembered the past. Framed as sources of oral history, the Harvard Project transcripts offer rich and novel insights into how post-World War II Soviet émigrés made sense of their pasts.

From the 1920s through the 1950s—a period we term “the Era of the Student Bureaucracy”—students in governance positions, newspapers, and other leadership roles greatly impacted the direction of higher education. During the Era of the Student Bureaucracy, students realized they possessed educational values that were in conflict with the faculty and administration. Student bureaucrats used their organizations to protect their educational interests and advocate for curricular and teaching reforms in the face of higher education’s reorientation towards research. The role the Harvard Student Council played in the creation of the Harvard Redbook serves as an exemplar of this national movement towards student bureaucratization, and suggests students made greater inroads in affecting institutional policy than has been previously considered in the historiography.

The Leontocephaline from villa Albagni as Demiurge The Leontocephaline from villa Albagni is a member of a sculpture archetype group, that represents the exalted god Ahriman's/Aion/Saturnus/Cronus in the Mithra cult. My thesis investigate how this image is a representation of a metaphorical gate between the world of the dead to the world of the living; as it presents of the body of the sculpture the celestial rode of the sole though the constellations as it was portrayed in Neoplatonist and Mithraism literature of the second to forth century, manly by Porphyry and Microbius. The statues were probably located in the Apse of Mithraeums, and were most likely intended to play an active role in the liminal ceremony of the promotion to the 'lion' rank in the Mithra order. Most likely, this statues actually bread fire from their mouth as a purification act in the ritual. An art history study of the Leontocephaline from villa Albagni can show that this statue represents a mediation between the cult of Mithra and the Neoplatonist environment, which governed the nobility of Rome in the Severic age. It withhold within it the Henotheism phenomena, and portrays the development which is portrayed by Jaime Alvar as to the distance between a Demiurge being to a very human like being, which reflect the increasing value of salvation all over the late antique period in the Mediterranean region. This sculpture and other of his kind introduce an opportunity to explore the reach diversity and religious tendencies of the second to forth century AD, which draw a direct rode toward religious in the formation of Mithra and Christianity.

In this study we propose a methodological framework for the examination of divided governments in multi-party political systems. We develop a scale of ideology for political parties in Latin America based on econometric correlations found in literature, apply the proposed scale of ideology for all political parties that have occupied at least one seat in one of the chambers of legislative power, or have occupied a prominent role in the presidential coalition, and compare the time series Presidential Coalition Ideology and the Legislative Average Ideology in the context of post-dictatorship Argentina (1983-2015). This research seeks to highlight important aspects of checks and balances strategies among coalition governments in Latin America, and establishes a methodological framework that can be further replicated to the analysis of other multiparty systems democracies.
