Attack of the Airacobras
Focusing on the combat operations and daily life of one unit - the 9th Guards Fighter Division - Loza refutes the myth that the P-39 was used mainly as a "tank buster" or "flying artillery." Instead, its primary mission was to protect Red Army operations from aerial attacks by the enemy. So despite the occasional strafing of trains, truck convoys, and troops, most P-39 operations involved attacks on Luftwaffe bombers and dogfights with their fighter escorts."--BOOK JACKET.

Structural and Semantic Features of Place Names in Upper Lusatia (Eastern Germany).
Place-names make up a significant part of the onomastic lexical fund. Historically developed toponymic systems are usually heterogeneous and combine multi-language material, formed in the toponymy in different historical epochs. This article reflects the results of the analysis of structural and semantic features of oikonyms in historical and geographical area of Eastern Germany - Upper Lusatia. The author detects the ways of integrating the Lusatian oikonyms in the German language from the synchronic point of view. In turn, each way of integration is considered in this study diachronically.

The Role of Extralinguistic Factor in the Formation of German Toponymicon (On the Way of Example of Ideological Component in Northern and Eastern Germany from 1933 to the 1990s).
The article, which focuses on place names of Northern and Eastern Germany, conclusively shows that renaming is one of the most obvious symbols of social change and that toponymy plays an important political role under certain circumstances. The new paradigm of anthropocentric linguistics opens the way for interdisciplinary research and enables to make the most out of extra-linguistic factor in the analysis of extra-linguistic studies. The author examines the types of renaming, their specific features, which are characteristic of different periods. The general trends of oikonyms' renaming are also examined in detail. The author shows that place-names are cultural heritage; they serve as reference points in space and time. During its existence, they accumulate unique information about the history, culture and language of people.
