" General information The 6th International Symposium on Graphene Devices (ISGD-6), the principal meeting addressing advanced graphene applications, is offering a unique forum to review the present status, the latest developments, future prospects and related fundamental studies, covering both state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical discoveries. ISGD-6 will be held at Conference center of ITMO University, St. Petersburg, Russia on 18-21 July, 2018. Saint Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia, and is considered by many to be Russia's most culturally and architecturally Western city. Once the capital of Russia, Saint Petersburg is home to a great number of world famous museums and historical sites, including the Hermitage Museum, Saint Isaac's Cathedral and the Grand Cascade at Peterhof. The venue continues a biennial series of symposiums initiated in Aizu, Japan (2008) and went through Sendai, Japan (2010), Saint Aubin, France (2012), Seattle, USA (2014), and most recently in Brisbane, Australia (2016).

    The Rise and Fall of Russia’s Soft Power Results of the Past Twenty Years Vera D. Ageeva Vera D. Ageeva, PhD in International Relations Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg, Russia Department of Political Science and International Relations Deputy Head of Department, Associate Professor Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po Paris), France The Centre for International Studies (CERI) Doctoral Student ORCID: 0000-0002-5419-0968 SPIN RSCI: 3009-1828 E-mail: [email protected] Tel.: +7 (812) 644-59-11*61415 Address: 123 Griboedov Embankment, St. Petersburg 190008, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Address: 27 Rue Saint-Guillaume, Paris 75007, France DOI: 10.31278/1810-6374-2021-19-1-118-145 Abstract The article examines the evolution of Russia’s soft power strategy over the past twenty years. The author analyzes the goals the Russian leadership set when starting this work, and shows that those goals were not limited to improving the Russian image on the world stage. The following periodization of Russia’s soft power evolution is proposed: the rise (2000-2007/2008), institutionalization (2007/2008-2013/2014), and tightening (2013/2014- till present). The article explores how Russian soft power changed during these periods: what tools were used, what role formal and informal institutions played, and what ideas and values were used as a foreign policy 118 RUSSIA IN GLOBAL AFFAIRS The Rise and Fall of Russia’s Soft Power narrative. The analysis of the evolution of the Russian strategy allows us to correlate different stages of its development with Joseph Nye’s concept, as well as to show the intermediate and final results of its implementation.

D. advisor at Georgia Tech, Phillip First. Phil was a wonderful advisor in that he would always keep one intellectually honest and on his toes. It was Phil’s foresight that gave me the unique opportunity to come to NIST to finish my graduate work. His understanding for interesting and exciting physics allowed me to stay at NIST for over 2 years. In these 2 years the work in this thesis could not have been possible without the help and guidance of Joseph Stroscio, my NIST sponsor. Joe was my day to day advisor during my time at NIST, and I would like to thank him for his infinite wisdom and patience. I would also like to thank my undergraduate advisor at Bradley University, Kevin Kimberlin, who always believed in me, even when I was an immature freshman.

    Research & Assessment Branch The Russian Chronologies July - September 2009 Dr Mark A Smith 09/13 RUSSIAN DOMESTIC CHRONOLOGY JULY 2009 – SEPTEMBER 2009 1 July 2009 The head of the commission for the Caucasus and first deputy speaker of the Federation Council, Aleksandr Torshin, criticises the assessment of the situation in the North Caucasus made by the human rights organization Amnesty International. 1 July 2009 President Dmitry Medvedev speaks at a state reception for graduates of military educational institutions in the Kremlin. He discusses military reform. 1 July 2009 Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Ivanov discusses with Vladimir Putin the development of seaport construction. Ivanov states: In 1998-99, of the total volume of import and export operations, 75 per cent of our cargoes were shipped through foreign ports, mostly Ukrainian and Baltic ones, and only 25 per cent through Russian ports. Now the proportion is as follows: 87 per cent of all cargoes are already shipped and processed through Russian ports, and only 13 per cent through foreign ports. I think that's fairly good dynamics, and in the foreseeable future we will completely get rid of dependence on foreign ports. This is very important from the economic point of view, and of course additional jobs. 1 July 2009 The head of the Rosnano state corporation Anatoly Chubays addresses the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs innovation policy committee. He discusses the need to develop an innovative economy in the Russian Federation. 1 July 2009 Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev says that alcohol abuse or poisoning causes each fifth death in Russia.

  • Announcement – Independent Print Ltd
    ANNOUNCEMENT – INDEPENDENT PRINT LTD Independent Print Limited acquires Independent and Independent on Sunday LONDON, March 25--Independent Print Limited, a company owned by the Lebedev family, has agreed to acquire The Independent and Independent on Sunday newspapers in a deal that will safeguard the future of the business. The agreement provides a commitment by the Lebedev family to invest in the newspapers, which are currently loss-making, and inject new energy and impetus into them. The purchase of the Independent newspapers follows the Lebedevs’ acquisition last year of a 75% shareholding in the London Evening Standard. Since then the Evening Standard’s circulation has risen from 250,000 to 600,000 and it is now read by 1.4 million Londoners daily, substantially increasing its commercial revenues. Evgeny Lebedev last month became Chairman of Evening Standard Ltd. Completion of the transaction is expected to take place in May 2010 following employee consultation and receipt of the relevant regulatory approval. In addition to the London Evening Standard, The Lebedevs also co-own, with President Mikhail Gorbachev, Novaya Gazeta, one of Russia's few pro-democracy newspapers. The paper has a reputation for independence and high-quality journalism. Anna Politkovskaya, whose fearless reports from Chechnya resulted in her assassination in 2006, worked for Novaya Gazeta. Alexander Lebedev said: "I invest in institutions which contribute to democracy and transparency and, at the heart of that, are newspapers which report independently and campaign for the truth to be revealed. I am a supporter of in-depth investigative reporting and campaigns which promote transparency and seek to fight international corruption.
