Из Улама про аутрич в 20х
From today's perspective Lwow may seem to have been a provincial city, but this is not so. Frequent lectures by scientists were held for general public, in which such topics as new discoveries in astronomy, the new physics and the theory of relativity were covered. These appealed to lawyers, doctors, businessmen, and other laymen.
Other popular lecture topics were Freud and phychoanalysis. Relativity theory was, of course, much more difficult.
Around 1919-1920 so much was written in newspapers and magazines about the theory of relativity that I decided to find out what it was all about.
