Through a generous act of internatioanal mediation, a note from the
center of Finland arrived on my account bearing news from Karelia
and points East.

Hi!
Dear Micle. Here is something about "predemetnaya deyatelnost" as I understand A. N. Leont'ev.

I think that "predmenost" as the characteristic of human activity is "object-relateness" (is it English?). Predmetnaya is probably "object-referred" or "object-related" (kak predemetno-otnesennaya").
Sorry for this remark - I am not so good in English but probably it will be of help.
