Voivodeship
A voivodeship is the area administered by a voivode (Governor) in several countries of central and eastern Europe. Voivodeships have existed since medieval times and the area of extent of voivodeship resembles that of a duchy in western medieval states, much as the title of voivode was equivalent to that of a duke. Other roughly equivalent titles and areas in medieval Eastern Europe included ban (bojan, vojin or bayan) and banate. In a modern context, the word normally refers to one of the provinces ''( województwa)'' of Poland. , Poland has 16 voivodeships. Terminology A voi(e)vod(e) (literally, "leader of warriors" or "war leader", equivalent to the Latin "''Dux Exercituum''" and the German "''Herzog''") was originally a military commander who stood, in a state's structure, next to the ruler. Later the word came to denote an administrative official. Words for "voivodeship" in various languages include the uk, воєводство; the pl, województwo; the ro, voievoda ...

The Voyevoda (opera)
''The Voyevoda'' (russian: Воево́да ), Op. 3, is an opera in 3 acts and 4 scenes, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with a libretto written by Alexander Ostrovsky and based on his play ''The Voyevoda (A Dream on the Volga)'' (russianВоевода (Сон на Волге)italic=yes). The opera was composed between March 1867 and July 1868, and it received its first performance on 11 February S January 30/small> 1869 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. It was a benefit for Alexandra Menshikova. In the 1870s Tchaikovsky destroyed the manuscript full score of the opera, while recycling much of the first act in his ''The Oprichnik'' (1870–1872). The subject of ''The Voyevoda'' was thus left available to his former pupil Anton Arensky to compose as the opera ''Dream on the Volga'' in 1888. Decades later, during the Soviet period, ''The Voyevoda'' was posthumously reconstructed from surviving orchestral and vocal parts and the composer's sketches. Roles Instrumentation *''String ...

R-36 (missile)
The R-36 (russian: Р-36) is a family of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and space launch vehicles (Tsyklon) designed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The original R-36 was deployed under the GRAU index 8K67 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-9 Scarp. It was able to carry three warheads and was the first Soviet MRV (multiple re-entry vehicle) missile. The later version, the R-36M was produced under the GRAU designations 15A14 and 15A18 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-18 Satan. This missile was viewed by certain United States analysts as giving the Soviet Union first strike advantage over the U.S., particularly because of its rapid silo-reload ability, very heavy throw weight and extremely large number of re-entry vehicles. Some versions of the R-36M were deployed with 10 warheads and up to 40 penetration aids and the missile's high throw-weight made it theoretically capable of carrying more warheads or penetration aids. Contemporary U.S. miss ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Voyevoda (symphonic Ballad)
''The Voyevoda'', Op. 78, is a "symphonic ballad" for orchestra, written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1891. It is based on Alexander Pushkin's translation of Adam Mickiewicz's poem of that name. Tchaikovsky started work on the piece in September 1890, but did not finish it until close to the premiere over a year later. He was then actively engaged in finishing his last opera ''Iolanta''. The premiere of the ballad, which he conducted, took place on 18 November 1891, in Moscow. He was very dissatisfied with the work; even before the first performance he had decided it was mediocre at best and threatened to destroy the score. After the performance he declared "Such rubbish should never have been written". He carried out his threat the day after the first performance. However, the orchestral parts were retrieved by Alexander Siloti and the score was later reconstructed. Later, Tchaikovsky wrote to his publisher P. Jurgenson, "I do not regret ''The Voyevoda'' - it's got what ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
