First of all, it concerns Russia, the USA andother big countries. And this may cause the most acute and undesirable consequences. It isnot accidental that at thevery start of the21st century the UN (UNESCO) declared about the dialogue of civilizations. Koffi Anan, the UN Secretary General, is sure that „the variety of ethnic groups and nations is the common possession, people are united by their common fate”. The Academician S. Kapitsa in his program „Obvious and Fabulous” (1999) made a statement that „…the 21st century will be a periodof national culture and languages developing”. Aliaksei Salamonau, PhD (Minsk), says „… Hu- man communities ought to continuously self-improve in their friendly compe- tition… The God’s predestination of every ethnos is to preserve and develop itself respecting the rights of other ethnic groups”. All this means that the majority of world-famous public figures, scien tists and writers think we must preserve centuries-old national communities together with their mother-tongues, life-style peculiarities, their adaptability to nature. We must support anddevelop their positive achievements in social life, na- tional clothing, etc. Undoubtedly, art is a particular sphere of culture.As far as we know, much is being done in this aspect by some West-European countries, for instance, by France. 7 HeraldAsviatsinski Why is the problem so topical? First of all, we ought to constantly encour- age progress, which is possible in case the whole mankind’s culture develops properly.And culture advances, only if each ethnic group preserves its peculi- arities and shares its national achievements with others. The Belarusian poet Mikola Husouski, the author of the poem written in Latin, „A Songto the Bison” said: „The state is based rather on the courage of spirit than on the physical strength, Greeks and Romans are good evidence of that. They were the strongest at the period of Renaissance.” But we confront great problems andhardships. At present we notice a gradual decrease in interest to scientific research in physics, mat hematics and other exact sciences, with an exception in some natural sciences – biology and bio- engineering. For instance, the Nobel Prize winner of 1991 Pierre Gillet de Gennet, a Frenchman, is sure that „…there is a quick decline in interest to sciences”. He also states that „…the theory of life emergence on the Earth inthe prime- val „super ocean” is not convincing”. By the way, most anthropologists consider that the theory of man’s apish origin is fully neglected. And even the idea of Neanderthal men is doubt ful, because these species were „dead-end” in their intellect develo pment. The human being, who is able to think andanalyze, originates from - - -, and this statement seems to be interesting and perspective. I would like to em- phasize that the interest in research, which is nowin decline, can be supported only by the improvement of the world culture. Some principles or laws of the national development can be formulated briefly in the following way: 1. To realize the possible laws of national development we can begin with the works of the 20th-century Russian geneticist Nikolai Vavilov, whose tragic life confirms the importance of his ideas anddiscoveries. In his opinion, nature

  • Measuring Language Attitudes. the Case of Trasianka in Belarus
    Measuring language attitudes. The case of Trasianka in Belarus Natallia Sender (Frankfurt/Oder) Abstract In contemporary Belarus there are currently two languages being predominantly used: Russian and Belarusian. Besides dialects and other varieties there is to be found a variety called Trasianka, which is widespread throughout the country. Trasianka can be considered as a variety built of elements from other varieties in Belarus, but mainly from Russian and Belarusian. Originally the term Trasianka stems from agriculture describing a 'mixed fodder of poor quality'. Language attitudes towards this variety have hardly been examined thus far. In a recent study based on the matched-guise technique, 227 Belarusian adolescents listened to and evaluated a female speaker reading the same text in Russian, Belarusian and Trasianka. When the speaker used Trasianka, she was given low ratings by test participants in matters of socio-structural issues such as profession and education. Regarding competence, the test participants assumed that the Trasianka speaker was less qualified, as shown by answers to a question on competencies in foreign languages. Finally, the test participants were more reluctant to accept the Trasianka speaker as a neighbor. With this responsiveness, they performed a bigger social distance. By these findings, there is ample reason to conclude that there are negative attitudes existing amongst today's population in Belarus regarding speakers of Trasianka. 1 Introduction When looking at the contemporary use of East Slavic varieties in Belarus the Russian language seems to be dominant in society at first blush. Russian can be found in state media, in the political area and in the economy.

  • Evolution of the Belarusian National Movement in The
    EVOLUTION OF THE BELARUSIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE PAGES OF PERIODICALS (1914-1917) By Aliaksandr Bystryk Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Advisor: Professor Maria Kovacs Secondary advisor: Professor Alexei Miller CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 Abstract Belarusian national movement is usually characterised by its relative weakness delayed emergence and development. Being the weakest movement in the region, before the WWI, the activists of this movement mostly engaged in cultural and educational activities. However at the end of First World War Belarusian national elite actively engaged in political struggles happening in the territories of Western frontier of the Russian empire. Thus the aim of the thesis is to explain how the events and processes caused by WWI influenced the national movement. In order to accomplish this goal this thesis provides discourse and content analysis of three editions published by the Belarusian national activists: Nasha Niva (Our Field), Biełarus (The Belarusian) and Homan (The Clamour). The main findings of this paper suggest that the anticipation of dramatic social and political changes brought by the war urged national elite to foster national mobilisation through development of various organisations and structures directed to improve social cohesion within Belarusian population. Another important effect of the war was that a part of Belarusian national elite formulated certain ideas and narratives influenced by conditions of Ober-Ost which later became an integral part of Belarusian national ideology.

The period of investigation coincides with Yeltsin’s presidency. The focus is on how the legitimation rhetoric was adjusted both to changing circumstances over time and to three main audiences: the Russian domestic population, the Russian domestic elites and the international community. In order to analyse the contents of the legitimation formula a framework was developed which divided the different arguments used by the Russian leadership into six main categories (democratic, national, charismatic, eudaemonic, external and negative arguments). The material selected for analysis had to relate to basic features of statehood.

  • Number 120 the Western Borderlands of The
    NUMBER 120 THE WESTERN BORDERLANDS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, 1710-1870 Edward Thaden Colloquium Paper presented June 30, 1980, at Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies The Wilson Center THE WESTERN BORDERLANDS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, 1710-1870 I The Podolian cycle of Wlodzimierz Odojewski chronicles the futile efforts of two young noblemen in the extreme southeastern corner of interwar Poland to fight during 1943-44 for what they thought was the Polish cause. A P~lish trilogy on this theme, published in 1962, 1964, and 1973, reminds us of the fascination the borderlands, or kresy, have had for Poles and of the domination they and other non-native elites and rulers once exercised over a vast region stretching from the Gulf of Bothnia in the north to the Dniester River in the south and from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Dnieper in the east. Great Russians, Poles, Germans, and Swedes competed for the control of this area since the thirteenth century. In it the major religions of Europe--Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism--clashed. Its indigenous population consisted of Estonian, Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Belorussian, Polish, and Ukrainian peasants, who were generally serfs or at least economically dependent on landowners alien to them in language and culture. Only in certain areas of Finland and P·oland did the peasants speak the language of the local nobility. Between 1710 and 1815 the Russian Empire annexed western borderlands that, in 1815, accounted for about one-fifth of the land area of European Russia exclusive of the Caucasus. From the very beginning Russian rulers and their officials wanted to bring this area closer to the rest of the empire, and under Catherine II and, again, under Nicholas I a concerted effort was made to introduce Russian laws, institutions, and language.

  • International Reports 2/2020
    KONRAD-ADENAUER-STIFTUNG 2|2020 INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Nationalism Nationalism Between Identity Formation, Marginalisation, and INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 2|2020 REPORTS INTERNATIONAL Isolation INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 2 | 2020 Editorial Dear Readers, “It is very important to us that together we find a strong response to the coronavirus. It knows no borders, it knows no nationalities.” These are the words of Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, with regard to the coronavirus crisis. The outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent sustained pandemic have created a new level of global emergency in early 2020. This includes the closure of borders and introduction of border controls within the European Union. Narratives of threat and crisis can play into the hands of populists, as has been the case during the coronavirus pandemic. Political actors, who assert that belonging to a nation or state is based on descent, seek to exploit such situations to rationalise their policies of exclusion and isolationism. Of course, nationalism can also come in other guises. The idea of national unity within a society can, in principle, serve as a cohesive element that creates identity in a positive sense. However, particularly for democracies, nationalists and populists who exaggerate the idea of national unity pose a real challenge. They follow a familiar pattern by looking for scapegoats and spouting supposedly simple solutions. Over recent years, many parts of Europe have also seen the rise of right-wing, populist, and Eurosceptic parties. These parties have their differences, particularly as regards their stance towards the EU, but they have been gradually gaining seats in national parliaments and the Euro- pean Parliament.
