  • Gender, Nation, and Modernity in Russia & Eastern
    1 Gender, Nation, & Modernity in Russia & Eastern Europe Hilde Hoogenboom RUSS294-01/WGST294-03 Spring 2005 [email protected] MWF 2:20-3:20 HUM212 REVISED April 27, 2005 MWF 12-1 office hours Course Description Amazons or Anna Kareninas? Strong woman or femme fatale? Baba Yaga or Cinderella? Do strong women produce weak men? Are gender relations in Slavic nations really traditional? Quite dysfunctional? The construction of gender as an important difference in Russian and Eastern European cultures became particularly evident in the nineteenth-century, with the confluence of questions about nation, history, politics, society, education, and culture. In these nations, feminism has long been associated with westernization, and Western views of gender and of gender in these nations are an intricate part of their and our gender discourses. During the past twenty years, with the disintegration of the Soviet empire and now the reintegration of a Russian empire, these issues have again brought gender to the foreground in debates about nation and society. Traditionally, Russia, Ukraine, Belorus, the Baltic nations (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and the former Yugoslavia have tended to compare their level of civilization and standard of living, partly reflected by status of women, with each other over against that of the West (Europe and America). Recently, the social and political gains women made under socialism have been seriously eroded by the transitions to capitalism and democracy. Since the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, women in all of these nations have created centers for the study of gender, many funded by Western governments and organizations in the quest to improve women’s representation in civil society and democracy through NGOs.

  • Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights
    OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Strasbourg, 15 April 2002 CommDH(2002)3 Original version CONCLUSIONS OF THE EUROPEAN OMBUDSMEN CONFERENCE Co-organised by MR. ALVARO GIL-ROBLES, COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS and Mrs. LEONARDA KUODIENE LITHUANIAN OMBUDSMAN Vilnius, Lithuania, 5 – 6 April 2002 CommDH(2002)3 2 In the framework of the Lithuanian Presidency of the Council of Europe, the Lithuanian Ombudsman and the Minister for Foreign Affairs agreed with the Commissioner for Human Rights, Mr. Alvaro Gil-Robles, to co-organize the next Ombudsmen Conference in Vilnius on 5 – 6 April 2002. The Commissioner for Human Rights would like to thank the Georgian Ombudsman for having consented to hold the meeting in Lithuania rather than in Georgia, as was previously decided during the Warsaw meeting on 28 and 29 May 2001. The theme dealt with at the meeting between the European Ombudsmen and the Commissioner was “The role of the Ombudsmen in the protection of human rights”. Four sessions took place and the European Ombudsmen arrived at the following conclusions, presented at the closing ceremony by the Director of the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights: 1. The participants attach great importance to the role of the Ombudsman in the protection of human rights. Indeed, human rights are not a luxury but a necessity for the enhancement of democracy. More than that, in our continent they form the basis, the common principles, and the constitutional heritage on which the Europe of tomorrow is being constructed. Protecting human rights is not an option, but the surest route to a common democratic stability.

  • Ohr on Wheatcroft, 'Challenging Traditional Views of Russian History'
    H-Russia Ohr on Wheatcroft, 'Challenging Traditional Views of Russian History' Review published on Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Stephen G. Wheatcroft, ed. Challenging Traditional Views of Russian History. Basingstoke and New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002. xxi + 234 pp. $70.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-333-75461-0. Reviewed by Nellie H. Ohr (Independent Scholar) Published on H-Russia (June, 2004) Notes from Down Under This collection arose from a series of conferences at the University of Melbourne, and the authors are all real or honorary Australians. The book provides a little something for everyone. For the student of medieval Russian or world history, there is David Christian's article on the Kaghanate of the Rus and the non-Slavic sources of Russian statehood. Two articles on the late tsarist period deal with the upsurge in mass executions after the 1905 revolution and the transfer of weapons-making expertise from Russia to the United States during World War I. Four articles on the Stalin period deal with the Soviet famine of 1932-33; patronage relationships between political elites and cultural figures; waves of mass killings during the 1930s; and the characteristics of victims of the Great Terror in Leningrad. Finally, three articles deal with more recent issues: the dissident roots of Glasnost; recent appropriation of historical patriotic narratives about the conquest of Chechnya; and the changing balance between organizational norms and personalist relationships in the Soviet power structure. While these articles are all interesting, and some are truly groundbreaking, the volume reads like a set of conference papers. Some articles assume a specialized knowledge of their narrow subject, and they vary in format from engaging narratives to reports with numbered paragraphs.

  • Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber)
    Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) LM (returnees – expired exit permit) Uzbekistan CG [2012] UKUT 00390(IAC) THE IMMIGRATION ACTS Heard at : Field House Determination Promulgated On : 4 July 2012 ………………………………… Before UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE GLEESON UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE KEBEDE Between LM Appellant and SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT Respondent Representation: For the Appellant: Mr S Vokes, instructed by Blakemores Solicitors For the Respondent: Mr P Deller, Senior Home Office Presenting Officer © CROWN COPYRIGHT 2012 COUNTRY GUIDANCE (1) Article 223 of the Uzbekistan Criminal Code (UCC) makes it an offence for a citizen to leave the country without permission – what is described as “illegal exit abroad”. The basic offence of “illegal exit abroad” is punishable by a fine or by imprisonment for between three to five years. (2) In specified aggravating circumstances (a physical breach of the border, conspiracy, or the exit abroad of a state employee requiring special permission) the penalty for “illegal exit abroad” under Article 223 of the UCC rises to five to ten years’ imprisonment. It is unclear from the evidence before us whether a fine will also be imposed. (3) Uzbek citizens are required to obtain an exit permit prior to leaving the country. However, Annex 1 to the Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 8, issued on 06.01.1995, provides that no penalties apply to someone who returns to Uzbekistan after the expiry of their exit permit. Normally, exit permits can be renewed at the Uzbekistan Embassy in the third country where an Uzbek citizen is living. (4) There are cases of Uzbek nationals, having left the country lawfully, nevertheless being charged with “illegal exit abroad” and prosecuted under Article 223 following their return to Uzbekistan with expired exit permits.

  • The Search for the Rule of Law in Russia*
    THE SEARCH FOR THE RULE OF LAW IN RUSSIA* JEFFREY KAHNt ABSTRACT There exists broad consensus in political science that the rule of law is as essential to a consolidated modern democracy as electoral politics or a robust civil society. Paradoxically, however, the rule of law as an institution has not been subjected to nearly the same rigorous study as those other popular variables. Although frequently used, the term is rarely defined. Political scientists declare the general importance of the rule of law, but reduce their focus to the "rules of the game" for political elites and the adoption of select laws and judicial institutions. Frequently, an instrumentalist metaphor is deployed: the law is a sword, or shield, or tool to advance democratic ends, by which the law's utility can be measured. This Article presents two related arguments against such approaches to the study of the rule of law in Russia. First, predictions about Russian democracy will be more prone to error if specialists on Russia urge the development of the rule of law but limit themselves to cramped understandings of the full parameters of this institution. Second, instrumentalist metaphors of the rule of law hinder our understanding of the importance of the rule of law for a would-be democracy like Russia. The rule of law is better understood there not as an instrument wielded by or against the state, but as a causeway. The primary value of this causeway stems from the security its existence provides citizens to move freely among state and non-state institutions in daily life, com- merce, and politics.

  • Evolution of the Citizenship Law and Policy in Kyrgyzstan from the Initial Post-Soviet to Present Day Concept Aziz Ismatov1
    Evolution of the Citizenship Law and Policy in Kyrgyzstan From the Initial Post-Soviet to Present Day Concept Aziz Ismatov1 Abstract This paper presents a narrative and a coherent discussion on the historical, sub-regional and political preconditions for the formation and evolution of the laws and policies regarding citizenship in the Kyrgyz Republic (Hereinafter; Kirgizia, Kyrgyzstan)2 The introductory part of this country study assesses objectively the historical stages the state had to undergo and serves as a guide to the next section, which is devoted to the citizenship laws in texts. This layout will enable the reader to understand the initial character or attitude towards the previous socialist order and the policy of multi-ethnicity, which was widely practiced in the former USSR. One of the main targets of the research is to demonstrate how Kyrgyz authorities constituted the initial body of citizens after gaining independence, whether they did it by implying a zero-option or using other principles. The section also aims to define the principles enabled for citizenship determination, such as jus soli and jus sanguinis. Through a case study of Tajik refugees in Kyrgyz Republic, this paper will demonstrate the practices of the conferral of citizenship upon a particular group by means of international treaty supported by the UNHCR. While discussing each actual situation, this paper examines whether the Kyrgyz parliamentarians consulted existing particular international norms while crafting laws relevant to citizenship or whether they implied other standards. 3 While analyzing rules and policies, which govern the naturalization, the research also focuses on such sensitive elements as language laws, ethnicity, and 1 Designated Assistant Professor, Nagoya University, Graduate School of Law 2 and the role that international norms have played to shape these laws and policies.

Wensierski, Hamburg: Spiegel Verlag, 1984. 189 pp. DM 16.00 These four West German paperbacks are invaluable sociological studies of "the alternative society" in East Germany. One volume has appeared each year since 1981. Sociological studies, yes; but not in an academic sense. What we have is skilful, readable journalism. Each volume is also a collaborative achievement. Peter Wersierski is a co-author of all four, Wolfgang Biischer of three. Four further names are involved. The first volume, the title of which can be translated as "Concrete is Concrete: a Critique of Civilisation in the GDR", is something of a mani­ festo ofthe ecological movement in the GDR, the eastern "Greens". The editors have succeeded in getting GDR citizens to write for this volume, describing their own situation. And most of them are people with strong church links. Dr Heino Falcke, Dean of Erfurt, is the star contributor, 350 Reviews especially with his address on the environment to the Church and Society Conference at MIT in Boston ("Critical Participation in Socialism as it is Practised: Science and Technology through Christian Eyes.") This book makes clear that concern for the environment and for more humane life­ styles is alive and well in the GDR, especially among critical Christians.
