MAN OF HOPE CENTRAL EUROPE No 2(XI)/2014 Price 19 PLN (w tym 5% VAT) 10 EUR 12 USD 7 GBP ISSN: 2083-7372 quarterly April-June A Tale of Three Maidans PUTIN’S POWERS Paweł Kowal Maciej Wapiński James Sherr Piotr Żochowski Andrei Tsygankov 2 (XI) / 14 / (XI) 2 ISSN 2083-7372 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT Dear Reader, Traditionally, on this page we share with you our overall interpretation of the situation in the region which, in a way, serves as the basis for editorial decisions as to which texts to include in an issue. Being a quarterly magazine we, fi rst and foremost, focus on the processes (more than breaking news stories), point to tendencies, provide deeper commentary and try to avoid simplifi ed interpretations of complex events. Being also a news journal we want to offer you stories that are relevant and refer to the current situation in the region. Finally, but also importantly, being a forum for dialogue we try to present different points of view and offer the perspectives from inside the region. In this issue, the texts have been selected based on the very same criteria as explained above. And yet now more than ever, as the events of the last few months have shown, we feel humbled with regards to any interpretation we can possibly offer to our readers on this page. Instead, we will share with you the belief that drives our everyday editorial efforts, in the times of peace or war. It is expressed in the words of the great Polish patriot and founder of the foundation that publishes New Eastern Europe, the late Jan Nowak-Jeziorański: “Peaceful relations are most effectively built at the citizens’ level.” In this very same vein, we hold today that the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe are interested in pursuing this goal, even when the contrary is assumed by politicians. We encourage you to keep this perspective in mind especially when reading the series of texts published in this issue, both on Ukraine and on Russia. Lastly, with the fast moving and dynamic course of events in the region (primarily Ukraine and Crimea), we are aware that some of the texts may already have some elements that will be out-of-date at the time of your reading. It is our hope, however, that you as a reader of New Eastern Europe will gain a deeper understanding of these events from a political, historical, cultural and social perspective that you won’t get from mainstream western media. That being said, we do invite you to also join us online, both on our website (www.neweasterneurope.eu, or www.readnee.com) and on our social networks (Facebook and Twitter), where we offer up-to-date commentary and analyses from the region.

  • Organized Crime and the Russian State Challenges to U.S.-Russian Cooperation
    Organized Crime and the Russian State Challenges to U.S.-Russian Cooperation J. MICHAEL WALLER "They write I'm the mafia's godfather. It was Vladimir Ilich Lenin who was the real organizer of the mafia and who set up the criminal state." -Otari Kvantrishvili, Moscow organized crime leader.l "Criminals Nave already conquered the heights of the state-with the chief of the KGB as head of a mafia group." -Former KGB Maj. Gen. Oleg Kalugin.2 Introduction As the United States and Russia launch a Great Crusade against organized crime, questions emerge not only about the nature of joint cooperation, but about the nature of organized crime itself. In addition to narcotics trafficking, financial fraud and racketecring, Russian organized crime poses an even greater danger: the theft and t:rafficking of weapons of mass destruction. To date, most of the discussion of organized crime based in Russia and other former Soviet republics has emphasized the need to combat conven- tional-style gangsters and high-tech terrorists. These forms of criminals are a pressing danger in and of themselves, but the problem is far more profound. Organized crime-and the rarnpant corruption that helps it flourish-presents a threat not only to the security of reforms in Russia, but to the United States as well. The need for cooperation is real. The question is, Who is there in Russia that the United States can find as an effective partner? "Superpower of Crime" One of the greatest mistakes the West can make in working with former Soviet republics to fight organized crime is to fall into the trap of mirror- imaging.

    THE GROUP OF TWENTY : A H ISTORY The study of the G-20’s History is revealing. A new institution established less than 10 years ago has emerged as a central player in the global financial architecture and an effective contributor to global economic and financial stability. While some operational challenges persist, as is typical of any new institution, the lessons from the study of the contribution of the G-20 to global economic and financial stability are important. Because of the work of the G-20 we are already witnessing evidence of the benefits of shifting to a new model of multilateral engagement.

  • What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic? (A Case Study Of
    FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE, 2017, NO. 13 WHAT MAKES A RESTAURANT ETHNIC? (A CASE STUDY OF ARMENIAN RESTAURANTS IN ST PETERSBURG) Evgenia Guliaeva Th e Russian Museum of Ethnography 4/1 Inzhenernaya Str., St Petersburg, Russia [email protected] A b s t r a c t: Using restaurants in St Petersburg serving Armenian cuisine as a case study, the article studies the question of what makes an ethnic restaurant ethnic, what may be learnt about ethnicity by studying a restaurant serving a national cuisine, and to what extent the image of Armenian cuisine presented in Armenian restaurants corresponds to what Armenian informants tell us. The conclusion is that the composition of the menu in these restaurants refl ects a view of Armenian cuisine from within the ethnic group itself. The representation of ethnicity is achieved primarily by discursive means. Neither owners, nor staff, nor customers from the relevant ethnic group, nor the style of the interior or music are necessary conditions for a restaurant to be accepted as ethnic. However, their presence is taken into account when the authenticity or inauthenticity of the restaurant is evaluated. Armenian informants, though, do not raise the question of authenticity: this category is irrelevant for them. Keywords: Armenians, ethnicity, ethnic restaurants, national cuisine, authenticity, St Petersburg. To cite: Guliaeva E., ‘What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic?
