The Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Kremlin's Policy of Remembrance
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)The first time I visited the Lenin Mausoleum was on an autumn day in 1971. Leaves blew over Red Square, and down in the sarcophagus Lenin was lying in dim illumination, immaculately dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and a red necktie. Despite his attire he made a dismal impression with his yellow, parchment-like skin. 20 years later Soviet society dissolved, without Lenin being offered a decent ... -

Sankthansaften: Visse dagers utvelgelse
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2014-06-24)I Norsk Lov fra 1687 omtaler trolldomslovene skumle aktiviteter som ble utført på bestemte dager i året. Disse dagene, som det finnes ni av i løpet av året, beskrives i loven som «visse dagers utvelgelse». I norske rettsprotokoller fra 1600-tallet kan vi lese om folk som har fått harde kroppsstraffer og kraftige bøter fordi de hadde vært ute om Sankthanskvelden for å samle urter, sopp og vann. -
