This text looks at intermediality (links between arts) as a foundation for narrative music, in a series of eight works entitled Wirkunst. The origins of the Wirkunst stem from other visual arts, literary or cinematographic works. Thus, the first part opens with semiotics theories on which my research is based. Then, I present the “musical interpretation’s grid of artworks” which I use to transform my perception of an artwork toward a musical work. Finally, I propose a definition of musical narrativity inherent to the Wirkunst with an emphasis on the field of perception and, more specifically, their many levels of reading, conceptual and sonorous.

This article elucidates the reconstruction of the Soviet security apparatus during World War II in what today is western Ukraine. In late 1943 to early 1944, six operational groups of the People’s Commissariat of State Security of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic headed to the Axis occupied territories with orders to re-establish contacts with Soviet secret agents and create a support infrastructure for the deployment of other operational groups, special purposes units, and individual agents, as well as to infiltrate organizations of Polish and Ukrainian nationalists. The essay examines Soviet special operations within the context of state efforts to project power into the Axis occupied territories. It sheds light on the objectives of Soviet security agencies and on the activities of individual units in the field.
