    stress the import nce 2009 Social REPoRT “ We believe that charitable programmes are even more important today than they were during the pre-crisis period. So in the future, as each year throughout the Bank’s history, we will continue to render comprehensive support and financial assistance to essential projects, reaffirming our reputation of a socially responsible company.” Rushan Khvesyuk Chairman of the Executive Board, Member of the Board of Directors Message from Alfa-Bank management As a biggest financial institution in Russia, Alfa-Bank has always attached great importance to social and charitable activities. We are pleased to present our social report telling about some of our most significant events and undertakings in 2009. Alfa-Bank has a profound respect for the cultural heritage of our great country and endeavours to contribute to preserving it. For instance, we financed restoration work on a number of unique books in the Orenburg Universal Scientific Library named after N. Krupskaya, including Decrees of Ekaterina Alexeevna and Peter II published as early as in 1743 and works of Mikhail Lomonosov. In Nizhniy Novgorod, we sponsored restoration of Nikolay Koshelev’s canvas The Burial of Christ which was the ver y fir st ar t work in the collection of the regional museum. Alfa-Bank also covered the costs of restoring two pictures of the globally recognised artist Ivan Shishkin — Evening in a Forest and Evening in a Pine Forest belonging to the Tatarstan State Museum of Fine Arts in Kazan. Having supported initiatives aimed at preserving memory of our past for many years running, we also prioritise care for the young and talented, since they are our future.

Global Health Security: COVID-19 & Its Impacts Russia’s Domestic Politics and Foreign Policy By Chris Cheang SYNOPSIS COVID-19 in Russia coincided with the dramatic collapse of oil prices. Nevertheless, President Vladimir Putin remains in control of the country while no immediate change is expected from Russia’s current foreign policy stance towards the other major powers. COMMENTARY AS OF 10 May 2020, Russia has 209,688 COVID-19 infection cases, 1,915 deaths and 34,306 recovered patients. Moscow and the region it is in — the most populous city and part of the country — account for the largest number of cases. The lockdown announced in late March, initially for a week, was extended twice to 11 May. President Putin noted that “Russia has managed to slow down the spread of the epidemic, but we haven't passed the peak yet”. Predictably, the lockdown is unpopular. A gradual lifting of the restrictions will begin on 12 May. However, Moscow, the hardest hit, has extended its restrictions to the end of May. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin himself fell victim to the virus, informing President Putin on 30 April that he had been tested positive and would go into self- isolation.

SECTION 3: The Cold War at Home During the late 1940s and early 1950s, fear of communism led to reckless charges against innocent citizens.
