Judeo-Tajik is a Persian language spoken and written by Bukharan Jews in the 18th to 20th centuries. Bukharan Jews have lived in Central Asia, in areas currently in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, since antiquity, most recently in cities such as Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent, and Dushanbe. Due to immigration and language shift, Judeo-Tajik is currently endangered, spoken by small communities in Central Asia, Israel, and the United States.

History

During the second half of the eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century, political and territorial changes in Central Asia led to the gradual transformation of Judeo-Persian into Judeo-Tajik. Initially, this language was used by Bukharan Jews for communication within the family and community. In the late nineteenth century, however, Judeo-Tajik developed into a literary language thanks to the enterprise undertaken by Rabbi Shimon Hakham (1843–1910), the founder of a literary school in Jerusalem. The active members of this school published the first translation of the Bible into Judeo-Tajik. They also translated numerous other religious and secular works from Hebrew into Judeo-Tajik.

In the early twentieth century, this Jerusalem-based enterprise published important literary works written in Judeo-Tajik, dictionaries in various languages, and more. Most of these books were sent to Central Asia, where many Bukharan Jews still lived at the time. During this period, no books in Judeo-Tajik were published in Russia. A single newspaper, רחמים (Rahamim) (1910–1916) was published in the city of Skobelev in the district of Fergana and later in Kokand.

Following the rise of the Soviet regime, hundreds of schoolbooks were printed in Central Asia for a network of Jewish schools where classes were taught in Judeo-Tajik. Between 1920 and 1930, this language gave rise to works of poetry and prose, plays, the newspaper "Roshnaji" (Light) (1925-1930), whose name was later changed to "Bajroqi Mihnat" (1930-1938) (Workers' Flag), and socio-political reviews including "Hajoti Mihnat" (Life of the Workers), named later "Adabijoti Soveti" (Soviet Literature) (1930-1938). This was the golden age of Judeo-Tajik literature.

Up until 1928, these publications made use of the Hebrew alphabet (Rashi letters were used in handwriting, while square letters were used in print) and some Jews used the Arabic alphabet, which was used by local non-Jews at that time. These alphabets were briefly replaced by the Latin one, and, in 1938, the republics of Central Asia began transitioning to the Cyrillic alphabet. This change was not imposed on Judeo-Tajik, since the demise of Jewish culture (theaters, newspapers, literary reviews, museums, and so forth) during this period amounted to a death sentence for the literary use of Judeo-Tajik. In 1940, it became forbidden to publish in this language, and Jewish schools switched to teaching in Tajik, Uzbek, and Russian. For the following fifty years, Judeo-Tajik served solely for communication within the family and community. Only a small number of Judeo-Tajik publications appeared in Israel between 1950 and 1980.

Vereshchagin Vasily (1842-1904)

ALEJANDRO II CERCA DE PLEVNA 30 DE AGOSTO DE 1877

1878-1879

Tamaño - 60,5 x 202

Material - lienzo

Técnica - óleo

Número de inventario - Inv.2105

Adquirido por P. M. Tretyakov del autor a través de I. Tognolati. 1883

El cuadro de la serie Balkan dedicado a la guerra ruso-turca de 1877-1878 fue pintado en París. Refleja el evento conocido en la historia como el tercer asalto a Plevna. El ataque mal preparado, programado para coincidir con el onomástico de Alejandro II, con el fin de "complacer al soberano, darle Plevna", costó grandes pérdidas y provocó duras críticas en la sociedad.

En agosto de 1877, después de haber sido gravemente herido en el Danubio, Vasily Vereshchagin volvió al ejército. En este momento, se produce el tercer asalto a Plevna, donde muere el hermano del artista, Sergei, y su segundo hermano, Alexander, resulta gravemente herido. “... 15,000 personas fueron puestas bajo Plevna. ¡Solo Skobelev tiene 9.000!...”, recuerda el artista, que no participó del asalto por su lesión. Según estimaciones objetivas, tales bajas podrían haberse evitado si el comando no hubiera tenido prisa y preparado cuidadosamente la ofensiva. “... Una vergüenza y un pecado indelebles cayeron sobre la conciencia del emperador por el permiso criminal para asaltar Plevna en el día de su nombre. El asalto repelido terminó con el sangriento exterminio de miles de valientes en un momento en que el cumpleañero y su séquito vaciaban decenas de botellas de champán...!”, escribió Lev Zhemchuzhnikov.

La pintura representa a Alejandro II sentado en una alta colina rodeado de generales. Desde una distancia segura, el soberano observa la batalla, apenas visible en las nubes de humo que se desarrollan muy abajo. Ni la imagen en sí, ni el comentario del artista en el catálogo, a primera vista, contienen ni un indicio de la tragedia del evento. Mientras tanto, la inscripción simbólica en el marco "30 de agosto de 1877" conmemora simultáneamente el onomástico del emperador, el día de la muerte del hermano del artista, Sergei, y la fecha de la muerte de decenas de miles de soldados rusos más.

El contraste en la percepción de las enormes pérdidas de los rusos -familias desconsoladas y generales celebrando "en los huesos"- conmovió a los contemporáneos de Vereshchagin. Para ellos, la mención de la fecha en el título del lienzo fue suficiente para resucitar los hechos ocurridos. Con la muerte de su hermano menor, las pinturas de Vereshchagin sobre la guerra cambiaron mucho: adquirieron una sombra de profundos sentimientos personales del artista.

El lienzo se exhibió por primera vez en 1879 en Londres, luego en 1879-1880 en París y en 1880 en San Petersburgo. Además, la imagen continuó "viajando" por Europa como parte de las exposiciones individuales de Vereshchagin. También se mostró en Nueva York en 1888-1889.

Força Aérea acompanhou passagem de três navios russos ao largo de águas nacionais

A Força Aérea portuguesa acompanhou, na segunda e terça-feira, a passagem de três navios russos ao largo de águas nacionais.

Em comunicado, a Força Aérea avançou que "tem estado a acompanhar embarcações de bandeira da federação russa, tendo nos últimos dois dias monitorizados três navios".

Na terça-feira, a Força Aérea acompanhou o navio russo "ATLANTNIRO", "enquanto navegava fora da Zona Económica Exclusiva nacional, em direção a Sul, ao largo da zona de Coimbra".

"Apesar de se apresentar com uma configuração de navio de pesca, aquela embarcação está associada a atividades de investigação e pesquisa", lê-se na nota. Na segunda-feira, 2 de setembro, a Força Aérea "monitorizou outros dois navios de bandeira russa, enquanto cruzavam a Zona Económica Exclusiva nacional".

"Num voo que durou três horas e vinte minutos, os militares da Força Aérea acompanharam os navios-tanque "GENERAL SKOBELEV" e "YAZ", quando se encontravam a navegar fora do mar territorial português, seguindo em direção a Norte, e ao largo da costa portuguesa entre a Figueira da Foz e Viana do Castelo. De referir que aqueles dois navios já haviam sido monitorizados este ano, igualmente a cruzar o espaço marítimo sob responsabilidade portuguesa", é indicado.

As duas operações decorreram no âmbito de missões relacionadas com o Sistema de Fiscalização e Controlo das Atividades de Pesca (SIFICAP), que "suporta as ações de vigilância, fiscalização e controlo das atividades da pesca a nível nacional, sendo a Força Aérea uma das entidades competentes e participantes".

Este ano, a Força Aérea já realizou 15 missões de monitorização de navios de bandeira russa, tendo sido identificados mais de 20 navios daquela federação a cruzar o espaço sob responsabilidade nacional, é acrescentado no comunicado.

Januarius Aloysius MacGahan A Champion of Justice and Truth

Friendship and Valor in War

After joining the Russian army, Januarius Aloysius MacGahan forged sincere friendships with General Skobelev and General Gurko. He actively participated in all major battles for the liberation of Bulgaria, including the pivotal battles of Plevna and Shipka. His vivid descriptions of these battles stand as remarkable examples of journalism, capturing the intensity and heroism of the struggle for liberation.

Sacrifice and Service

Despite suffering a broken ankle, MacGahan remained steadfastly present at the frontlines throughout the Russo-Turkish War. His unwavering commitment to documenting the realities of war led him to Istanbul, where, exhausted and afflicted with typhoid fever, he passed away on June 9, 1878, at the age of 34. In his untimely death, MacGahan’s destiny became forever linked with the liberation of the Bulgarian people, a cause he served with unwavering dedication Sightseeing Turkey.

Investigating Atrocities

The reports on the April uprising in Bulgaria emerged from a conflict between the British government and the liberal leadership of the “Daily News,” led by Frank Hill, the chief editor. The “Daily News,” renowned for its well-organized foreign service, published a series of letters by correspondent Edween Pears, detailing monstrous atrocities in Bulgaria. These reports stirred doubts among the British public regarding the government’s Balkan policy.

Seeking Truth

To address public concerns and refute government accusations, the editorial board of the “Daily News” launched an inquiry, dispatching Januarius Aloysius MacGahan as a special commissioner to Bulgaria. MacGahan’s impeccable journalistic credentials made him uniquely suited for this mission. Simultaneously, the British government initiated its own official inquiry, led by Sir Henry Elliot and Walter Baring. Additionally, American Minister Maynard tasked General-consul Eugene Schuyler with investigating the atrocities.

Parallel Investigations

MacGahan’s investigation ran parallel to those of Schuyler and Baring. Schuyler and Baring, initially appointed to challenge MacGahan’s accounts, became supportive of his findings. While Schuyler’s report, published on August 28th, corroborated MacGahan’s observations, Baring, guided by a pro-Turkish stance, contradicted his earlier instructions to discredit MacGahan’s reports.

Legacy of Truth

Januarius Aloysius MacGahan’s legacy as a fearless journalist and advocate for justice endures. His courageous reporting and dedication to uncovering the truth about atrocities in Bulgaria not only galvanized public opinion but also reshaped diplomatic discourse. Through his unwavering commitment to truth and justice, MacGahan left an indelible mark on the history of journalism and human rights advocacy.
