Foundation for Visual Culture Nina Sosna Monumentality ephemerated Monuments, which are generally considered visual, become the object of visual research much less frequently than any other art form. However, closer investigation shows that monuments are an interesting model or even frame of analysis. They are quite peculiar, and paradoxical objects, as they controversially combine many different kinds of things: the immaterial traits of collective imaginaries and the heavy materiality of stone or bronze, fluctuations of memory and the conservation of ideology, object and remnant, arrested past and an attempt to change the future. 1. Russia is currently going through a period of instability that is caused, not only by today's situation of an almost uncontrolled globalized world economy, but also by the transitional form of (post)socialism.

Like honor guards in other countries, these uniformed sentries stand a silent watch over the memorial to those who paid the ultimate price in defending their country. In a recent interview in Russia’s main government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the new commander of the Presidential Kremlin Regiment, Major General Andrei Filyakin, describes the selection process, social background, and career prospects for soldiers assigned to this unit. The new commander points out that conscripts make up overwhelming majority of the servicemen in this regiment, and that they draw their new members from all over Russia. This regiment, however, is not a part of the Ministry of Defense, but belongs to the Federal Protective Service (FSO) [Федеральная служба охраны] which has the responsibility of guarding the Kremlin and several high-ranking officials.

  • A Turbulent Year for Ukraine Urbulent Was the Way to Describe 2009 for Ukraine, Which Plunged Into Financial Crisis
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2010 5 2009: THE YEAR IN REVIEW A turbulent year for Ukraine urbulent was the way to describe 2009 for Ukraine, which plunged into financial crisis. No other European country suffered as much as TUkraine, whose currency was devalued by more than 60 percent since its peak of 4.95 hrv per $1 in August 2008. In addition, the country’s industrial production fell by 31 percent in 2009. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko con- fronted the challenge of minimizing the crisis fallout, while at the same time campaigning for the 2010 presi- dential elections. Her critics attacked her for pursuing populist policies, such as increasing wages and hiring more government staff, when the state treasury was broke as early as the spring. Ms. Tymoshenko herself admitted that her gov- ernment would not have been able to make all its pay- ments without the help of three tranches of loans, worth approximately $10.6 billion, provided by the International Monetary Fund. Her critics believe that instead of borrowing money, Ms. Tymoshenko should have been introducing radical reforms to the Ukrainian economy, reducing government waste, eliminating out- dated Soviet-era benefits and trimming the bureaucracy. The year began with what is becoming an annual tra- Offi cial Website of Ukraine’s President dition in Ukraine – a natural gas conflict provoked by the government of Russian Federation Prime Minister President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at the heated February 10 meeting of Vladimir Putin.

  • Soviet Architecture in Central Asia, 1920S-1930S
    “Soviet Architecture and its National Faces ”: Soviet Architecture in Central Asia, 1920s-1930s By Anna Pronina Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Comparative History Supervisor: Professor Charles Shaw Second Reader: Professor Marsha Siefert CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2020 Copyright Notice Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The thesis “Soviet Architecture and its National Faces”: Soviet Architecture in Central Asia, 1920s-1930s is devoted to the various ways Soviet Central Asian architecture was imagined during the 1920s and the 1930s. Focusing on the discourses produced by different actors: architects, Soviet officials, and restorers, it examines their perception of Central Asia and the goals of Soviet architecture in the region. By taking into account the interdependence of national and architectural history, it shows a shift in perception from the united cultural region to a set of national republics with their own histories and traditions. The thesis proves that national architecture of the Soviet Union, and in Central Asia in particular, was a visible issue in public architectural discussions. Therefore, architecture played a significant role in forging national cultures in Soviet Central Asia.
