The third volume of “The Herald of Europe” offers its readers Victor Jaroshenko’s essay “Between the Blow and the Answer”; the essay published in “Modern Section “Life”” analyses the situation in the world after tragic events of September 11. Materials of the Russia-EU summit presented under the heading “Contemporary Archive” supplement V.Jaroshenko’s reflections. Search for philosophical roots of the Battle in a series of articles by Grigory Pomerants also refers to the essay in a specific way by posing various problems of Creation and humankind’s troubles. Articles by German scholars Gerhard Zimon and Gabriele Krone-Schmals present the view of the European science of Russia’s fate and predestination and are based on their authors’ speeches at the Berlin Forum. Jeff Michaels, an adviser in the NATO headquarters, reflects in his article on complex relations of Russia and the NATO. ╤ The section “Education” occupies an important position in the magazine; here Professor Theodore Shanin compares two academic educational patterns, those in Britain and in Russia. ╤ Jury Maletsky’s short novel “Smoked Beer”, Sergey Vasiliev’s poetry, prose by Zinovy Zinik “Emigration as a Literary Device”, Asar Eppel’s short story “Where They Dance and Sing”, “Canticles” by Vladimir Tuchkov and some fragments of Vyacheslav Pietsnkh’s essay “From Custin up to the Present” are published in our section “Literature”. ╤ “The History Section” includes materials of the XI Alexander Men’s memorial conference (“Address on Martyrs” by Metropolitan Yuvenaly and Vladimir Ilushenko’s article on Father Men’). We also publish Leonid Luks’ article on the totalitarian person in the XX century context (based on Russian and German materials). ╤ Under the heading “Bicentenary of Karamzin’s “The Herald of Europe” our readers will find an essay by Nikolai Tzimbaev “The Parks of Lodz” which they are sure to enjoy stylistically while making themselves familiar with the author’s ideas on the phenomenon of Europeanism and participating in the dialogue between him and philosopher V.Kantor. ╤ Materials presented under the title “Stepun in Germany” are an indubitable event in the history of philosophical thought. ╤ A set of unknown letters of Feodor Stepun taken from archives is published here, chosen and edited by Vladimir Kantor. ╤ The art of the cinema is what film critics Andrei Plakhov (“Michelangelo Antonioni”) and Alexei Medvedev (“When New Cinema Begins”) write about. Theatre performances and original productions are presented by two reviews published in the Section “Culture”: the one of Peter Brook’s “Hamlet” by Natalia Isaeva, the other of the three Lithuanian productions by Alena Karas’. ╤ Alexander Tyagny-Ryadno’s colors photographs of Portugal allow the viewer to feel the smell of an ocean and the spirit of travels and adventure. Tatyana Shcherbina’s essay draws one in the world of virtual archaeology while supplementing visual matter by novel images. We also mark such event in musical life as Krzysztof Penderecki’s visit to Russia by publishing Elena Karakoleva’s talk with the composer.
