  • Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia
    A Trial in Absentia: Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia Author(s): Olga Bertelsen Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 3 (2016): 57–87 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ A Trial in Absentia: Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia1 Olga Bertelsen Columbia University, Harriman Institute Abstract This study explores contemporary Russian memory politics, and analyzes the ideological underpinnings of the 2011 Moscow court verdict that criminalized a Ukrainian scholarly publication, accusing it of inciting ethnic, racial, national, social, and religious hatred. This accusation is examined in the context of Russia’s attempts to control the official historical narrative. Special attention is paid to the role of Russian cultural and democratic civic institutions, such as the Moscow library of Ukrainian literature and Memorial, in the micro- history of this publication. Deconstructing the judicial reaction of Russian lawmakers toward the Ukrainian publication, the study analyzes the Russian political elite’s attitudes toward the “Ukrainian” historical interpretations of Stalin’s terror and other aspects of common Soviet history, and demonstrates the interconnectedness of the preceding Soviet and modern Russian methods of control over education, history, and culture. Language and legislation play an important role in Russian memory politics that shape the popular historical imagination and camouflage the authoritarian methods of governing in Russia. The case of the Ukrainian

Mientras, el favorito equipo de Rusia cayó a la cuarta plaza con diez puntos, tras su derrota final frente a la escuadra india (perdieron Nepomniachtchi y Svidler).

The island has been inhabited since before 6500 BC. In the 9th century, Norsemen established the Kingdom of the Isles. Magnus III, King of Norway, was also known as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103. In 1266, the island became part of Scotland and came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399. It never became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain or its successor the United Kingdom, retaining its status as an internally self-governing Crown dependency. http://iominternationalchess.com/ For a small country, sport in the Isle of Man plays an important part in making the island known to the wider world.

  • The Militarization of the Russian Elite Under Putin What We Know, What We Think We Know (But Don’T), and What We Need to Know
    Problems of Post-Communism, vol. 65, no. 4, 2018, 221–232 Copyright © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 1075-8216 (print)/1557-783X (online) DOI: 10.1080/10758216.2017.1295812 The Militarization of the Russian Elite under Putin What We Know, What We Think We Know (but Don’t), and What We Need to Know David W. Rivera and Sharon Werning Rivera Department of Government, Hamilton College, Clinton, NY This article reviews the vast literature on Russia’s transformation into a “militocracy”—a state in which individuals with career experience in Russia’s various force structures occupy important positions throughout the polity and economy—during the reign of former KGB lieutenant colonel Vladimir Putin. We show that (1) elite militarization has been extensively utilized both to describe and explain core features of Russian foreign and domestic policy; and (2) notwithstanding its widespread usage, the militocracy framework rests on a rather thin, and in some cases flawed, body of empirical research. We close by discussing the remaining research agenda on this subject and listing several alternative theoretical frameworks to which journalists and policymakers arguably should pay equal or greater attention. In analyses of Russia since Vladimir Putin came to I was an officer for almost twenty years.

A crowd of about 100 000 people had gathered to protest against electoral fraud in the Russian parliamentary elections, which had taken place nearly three weeks before. As more and more people joined the demonstration, their euphoria grew to fever pitch. Although the 24 December demonstration changed Russia, the period of euphoria was tolerated only until Vladimir Putin was once again installed as president in May 2012.

Autor: FIDE Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:13 pm Comienza la primavera del ajedrez Abril y mayo serán dos meses de mucho ajetreo para los principales jugadores cubanos. En casa tendremos el Memorial Capablanca y la gran final del Campeonato Nacional Publicado: Sábado 07 abril 2012 | 08:51:01 pm. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Un fuerte compromiso tiene ante sí el Gran Maestro (GM) cubano Leinier Domínguez (2730), quien participa desde hoy en la fuerte Liga Rusa de Clubes de Ajedrez. Este torneo, pactado a siete rondas por el sistema suizo, le brinda la oportunidad de topar con varios de los mejores trebejistas del mundo, algo que siempre viene bien. Además, se trata de una competencia por equipos con ritmo parecido al que tendrá la Olimpiada Mundial de agosto próximo en Turquía. En la Liga Rusa se inscribieron 20 selecciones, integradas por ocho jugadores, aunque solo jugarán seis en cada ronda. Leinier aparece en el San Petersburgo, precisamente uno de los más fuertes. Sus compañeros de batería serán el armenio Sergei Movsesian (2702), el ucraniano Zahar Efimenko (2695) y cinco rusos: Peter Svidler (2744), Nikita Vitiugov (2709), Vadim Zvjaginsev (2683), Ildar Khairullin (2626) y Maxim Matlakov (2632). Otra nómina de lujo presentará el equipo SHSM-64, actual campeón, con el italiano Fabiano Caruana (2767), el chino Wang Hao (2733), el húngaro Peter Leko (2720), el holandés Anish Giri (2717), y los rusos Alexander Ryazantsev (2710), Boris Grachev (2705), Vladimir Potkin (2669) y Evgeny Najer (2640).

  • Contextualizing the Decline of Post-Soviet Russian Parties of the Extreme Right Wing
    Toward an Uncivil Society? Contextualizing the Decline of Post-Soviet Russian Parties of the Extreme Right Wing ANDREAS UMLAND n this article 1 use some findings of research into non-Russian civil societies I and ultranationalisms, as well as selected examples of nonparty Russian right- wing extremism, to illustrate that the relative decline in radically nationalist party politics toward the end of the 1990s should riot be seen as an unequivocal indi- cation that "antiliberal statism" has lost its appeal in Russia.' 1 also attempt to show that the considerable diversification in the nongovernmental, not-for-profit sector of Russian society since the mid-1980s2 cannot be regarded as exclusive- ly beneficial in tercos of Russia's polyarchic consolidation and further democra- tization.3 Not only is a Russian "civic public"4 or "civic community"5 develop- ing slowly, but sorne of the more significant pre- and post-Soviet groups, movements, and trends within the Russian voluntary sector are unsupportive or explicitly critical of liberal democracy. A number of major nonstate institutions and networks in Russian society contain ultranationalist, fundamentalist., and protofascist6 subsectors whose nature casts doubt on the use of the construct civil society to designate them. These organizations' or groupings' primary functiion is less or not at all to enhance people's inclination and ability to participate effec- tively in political activities that could prmote further democratization. Instead, they provide a medium for the spread of radically particularistic world views, ascriptive notions about human nature, and illiberal and/or bellicose political ideas, as well as an organizational training ground for potential political activists holding such ideas.` The article is divided in two parts.
