  • Parliamentary Elections 2021 Kazakhstan
    PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS 2021 KAZAKHSTAN Social media monitoring Final report (9 November 2020 - 9 January 2021) 8 February 2021 Bratislava Supported by INTRODUCTION Between 9 November 2020 and 9 January 2021, MEMO 98, a Slovak non-profit specialist media-monitoring organization, monitored social media in the run-up to the 10 January parliamentary elections in Kazakhstan. The monitoring included 48 different actors (political parties, politicians, media, and authorities) with accounts on Facebook and Instagram who produced a total of 29,342 posts on Facebook and 12,287 on Instagram. The posts generated as many 1,345,710 interactions on Facebook and 11,067,258 on Instagram. The main purpose of the monitoring was to determine the impact of social media on electoral integrity and the extent to which social media provide important information that voters need in their decision making.[1]While in general, for most people, television remains to be the primary source of information about politics, the growing relevance of social media inspired us to focus on Facebook and Instagram in our monitoring.[2]Such monitoring of social media was done for the first time in the context of the Kazakh elections. The monitoring also focused on how selected media report on candidates in their Facebook accounts and what topics and issues are discussed by political parties and selected media in the context of elections. As for the actual social media sample, we focused on official pages of political parties, individual politicians, media, and authorities on Facebook and Instagram. 1)2020 World Press Freedom Index from Reporters Without Borders ranks Kazakhstan as 157 (out of 180 countries), assessed as a country with ‘very serious situation’ (which is the worst category).

  • All Stalin's Men? Soldierly Masculinities in the Soviet
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository ALL STALIN’S MEN? SOLDIERLY MASCULINITIES IN THE SOVIET WAR EFFORT, 1938-1945 BY STEVEN GEORGE JUG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Diane Koenker, Chair Professor Mark Steinberg Associate Professor Mark Micale Associate Professor John Randolph ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the different but interconnected ways Soviet leaders and citizen-soldiers interpreted the Soviet war effort as a masculine endeavor. At the front, the entry of women into the ranks of combatants challenged not only men’s preeminence, but also official and popular narratives of a masculine ethic of national defense that stretched back to the Russian Revolution. The chapters of this dissertation explore the ways in which masculine values and priorities from the 1930s persisted in the Red Army despite the distinguished service of female combatants and divisions among male soldiers, commanders, and propagandists. Motives and actions such as hating and killing, comradeship and revenge, or serving Stalin and using skill, appeared as exclusively masculine in frontline culture, in contrast to depictions of vulnerable women as non-combatants and passive victims in the civilian realm. Analyzing Russian archival materials, military newspapers, and soldiers’ letters and memoirs, this study investigates the interaction and evolution of official and popular notions of soldiers and heroes as masculine subjects.
