Maturation and Integration Processes as Reflected in the Recreational Patterns Liza Rozovsky and Oz Almog The Department of Land of Israel Studies University of Haifa Abstract This article reflects on the process of coming of age among Russian Israelis who immigrated as older children or adolescents. It describes the culture of informal youth groups (tusovkas) of the 1990s that transplanted multiple elements of Russian subversive youth culture of the last Soviet and post-Soviet years onto Israeli soil. These groups - that flourished mainly in peripheral towns of Israel - served as both social safety net for alienated Russian teenagers and the bridge to their gradual acculturation. Entering adulthood, most tusovka members left the streets, completed their academic degrees, and moved to Central Israel in search of lucrative jobs and thriving cultural life. Although young Russian Israelis have adopted many elements of the mainstream lifestyle (particularly in the patterns of residence and entertainment), their social preferences and identity remain distinct in lieu of the lingering Russian cultural legacies. Introduction This article sheds light on the recent changes in the recreational patterns of "Generation 1.5" – Russian, Ukrainian and other former Soviet immigrants who immigrated in Israel along with their parents as preteens or young adolescents during the 1990s. Several factors shaped the recreational patterns of these Generation 1.5'ers during their initial years in Israel: the social characteristics of the Russian aliyah; the unique circumstances of their birth and socialization; and the policies of direct immigrant absorption first instituted in Israel during the 1990s.

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.

(Published for the American Society for Information Science by Information Today, Inc., Medford, NJ, 1998.). It includes items through 1994. An earlier version was published in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology vol. 30 (1995): 385-416. HISTORY OF INFORMATION SCIENCE Michael Buckland and Ziming Liu INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to provide a review of historical writings about the development of information science (IS) or certain aspects of it rather than to review historic events and figures in the development of IS. We have reviewed the available literature, preferring but not limiting ourselves to formal historical writing, the kind that professional historians produce. An earlier version of this review (BUCKLAND & LIU) appeared in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology, which has had two prior chapters dealing, in part, with the history of IS. In 1977, in the chapter entitled "History and Foundations of Information Science," SHERA & CLEVELAND included an historical introduction to the field, and some of the literature reviewed was about the history of IS. A significant part of the chapter by RICHARDS (1992) addressed the history of information science in the Soviet Union.
