  • Putin's Last Term
    January 2019 Putin’s last term Taking the long view By Ian Bond and Igor Yurgens Putin’s last term: Taking the long view By Ian Bond and Igor Yurgens Vladimir Putin has dominated the Russian political scene since 1999. But he is now in what should be his final term as president. He faces economic, social and foreign policy problems; and he has to decide what will happen at the end of his term of office. The performance of the Russian economy in recent years has been mixed. Inflation has fallen, foreign reserves have risen and the ruble’s exchange rate is relatively stable; but growth has been anaemic and real disposable incomes have fallen. Putin has set ambitious economic targets for his final term, but is unlikely to achieve them. Russia is not investing enough in education to enable it to modernise and diversify the economy. The oil and gas sector is too dominant. Structural reforms (such as moving investment from the defence sector to other, more productive areas) are not on the cards. Russia has suffered from demographic problems since the Soviet period. With a shrinking working- age population and an increasing number of unhealthy pensioners, Russia risks stagnation, while countries like China leap ahead. Putin has yet to give any hint of his thinking about his successor. He could find a trusted individual to take over as president; change the Russian Constitution to allow himself to run again; or create a new position from which he could still exercise power. But if he stays in power too long, Russia could become like the late Soviet Union – a system unable to renew itself.

Ometi kaovad just üksikliikmete nimed tihti olude sunnil meie ajaloolisest mälust pea täielikult. Et põlistada nende tublide eesti naiste mälestust, tänu kellele meie suurepärane organisatsioon - Naiskodukaitse, Saaremaal üldse loodi, on k.o. kogumiku koostaja püüdnud välja selgitada nende ni- med, et jäädvustada neid tulevastele põlvedele. Kui palju naiskodukaitsjaid aastatel 1925-1940 kohalikku ringkonda üldse kuulus, pole päris täpselt teada, ehkki erinevad allikad kinnitavad võrdlemisi üksmeelselt, et organisatsiooni likvideerimise ajal suvel 1940 kuulus sinna cà 900 naist. 2004. a. ilmunud kogumikus "Naiskodukaitse Saaremaa Ring- kond 1925-2001" suudeti neist ära tuua vaid 490 liikme nimed. Nüüdseks teame, et aastatel 1925-1940 kuulus 15 tegevusaasta jooksul NKK Saaremaa Ringkonda mingi aja jooksul teadaolevalt kokku ligi 1750 naist. Arvestused näitavad aga, et kui siia lisada needki, kes liitusid organisatsiooniga või lahkusid sealt organisatsiooni tegutsemise esimestel aastatel 1925- 1928 ja kelle nimedest paljud on veel teadmata, võib see arv suureneda isegi mitmesaja inimese võrra. K.o. kogumikku pole kantud mitte ühegi inimese nime, kelle liikmelisus pole kindlat tõendamist leidnud kirjalike andmete alusel.

A wide range of artisans were surveyed in the course of this research, from professionals who earn a living from handicraft to amateurs, small enterprises and handicraft instructors. The authors concentrate on the motifs and background of different categories of handicraft agent. Details of handicraft practice such as mastering spe- cific items, local peculiarities and materials used will be also explored. The analy- sis is predominantly based on the artisans’ views on proper ways of making handi- craft items, their marketing strategies and the needs of developing their skills. The study* demonstrates that artisanal initiatives support the material reproduction of cultural locations through constant renewal of heritage ideology and practice.
