We are building a remarkable future of the city by the sea. Mariupol is famous for its notable industrial and maritime potential. The city has won the fame of Ukraine’s outpost, the city of changes, large-scale reconstruction, pilot projects and European level festivals. Behind it all lies its rich history, traditions and architecture. This is exactly why our international ideas competition is dedicated to the famous and legendary architect of Mariupol - Viktor Nilsen. It is not an easy task for you to propose a project that will change the «face» of the historical square of Mariupol. Nowadays it is called Vyzvolennia Square. This is a historical heart of our more than over 240 years old city. Earlier the site was a market place. Today we want to revive it and at the same time to append new bright colours into its present. Vadim Boichenko Let’s write a new history of Mariupol together and make the city inspirational Mariupol City Mayor and outstanding. Mariupol is the city worth living and being happy.

APPENDIXES 37 4 А. INTRODUCTION This competition is the first annual Viktor Nilsen Architecture Ideas Competition, established in the frame of the Mariupol City Urban Development program. Viktor Nilsen (1871-1949) — architect. Was born in a pastor family with Danish and German origins. Viktor graduated from the Institute of Civil Engineers in St. Petersburg. He was invited by the Mariupol administration as the City Architect in 1900. The architect’s status radically changed in 1917-1918. During the reign of the Soviet Union (the USSR) power the shutter to the architect crashed. Nilsen was treated as the successful representative of the Royal Era. Since 1935 the demolition of noblemen has started. The architect was devoiced of his professional practice and was forced to work at the technical department of the new Azovstal plant. In 1936 The Church of Kostiantyn and Yelena designed by Nilsen was demolished. Viktor Nilsen died in 1949. The most meaningful projects of Viktor Nilsen: Water Tower, Rybinsk (Russia), Kariakynsk specialized school, Rybinsk (Russia), Water Tower, Mariupol (Ukraine) The Radio Hub building, Mariupol (Ukraine) The Church of Kostiantyn and Yelena, Mariupol (Ukraine) The School of the plant «Nikopol», Mariupol (Ukraine) House of Nilsen, Mariupol (Ukraine) Old building of the Pryazovskyi State Technical University (PSTU), Mariupol (Ukraine) Warehouse #7, Mariupol (Ukraine) The School of the plant «Nikopol», 1912 5 Water Tower Warehouse #7 6 The Church of Kostiantyn and Yelena House of Nilsen Old building of the Pryazovskyi State Technical University (PSTU) 7 B.

  • The Donbas As an Intentional Community

    The Donbas As an Intentional Community

    THIS IS A DRAFT PAPER From Exit to Take-Over: The Evolution of the Donbas as an Intentional Community VLAD MYKHNENKO* International Policy Fellow The Central European University & Open Society Institute E-mail: [email protected] Paper for Workshop No 20. The Politics of Utopia: Intentional Communities as Social Science Microcosms The European Consortium for Political Research Joint Sessions of Workshops 13-18 April 2004 Uppsala, Sweden ABSTRACT: The Donbas – a large old industrial region in the Ukrainian-Russian Cossack borderland – constitutes a particular intentional community. According to earlier positive accounts, it was a space, the open steppe, a frontier land, a fugitive’s paradise, where the notions of and desires for freedom and dignifying labour had been realised. According to its current negative associations, the Donbas is an allegedly realised utopia of an ‘anti-modern’ community, dominated by a ‘criminal-political nexus’ of terrorising mafia gangs and political clans. The purpose of this paper is to compare the Donbas community, the evolution of intentions of its founders and of the images produced in the process of its construction, in three very different points in time – under the Russian Empire, under the Bolshevik Rule and Stalin’s Great Terror, and during the post-communist transformation. * I would like to express my gratitude here to the International Policy Fellowships, affiliated with the Central European University and Open Society Institute – Budapest, for their generous help, which has allowed me, among many other things, to work on this paper. 2 In both a geographical and symbolic sense, the Donbas constitutes a particular community, just as a nation, city, or village does.

Klitotekhnis, the student of MA-19 group, SHEI «PSTU» Mariupol is one of the biggest cities of Donetsk region which has a powerful economic and intellectual potential and international prestige. Mariupol was founded in 1778 in the center of Kalmius Palanka built by Zaporozhean Cossacks and was originally named Pavlovsk after the Russian throne’s heir. Today Mariupol is a unique city, as it is an industrial heart of the country, a port, a resort area and a multicultural center which combines identities of different ethnic groups, cultural traditions and educational tendencies. Mariupol is a cultural center of the Azov Sea region. There are monuments of history and architecture as well as numerous landmarks related to lives and activities of outstanding people of the past Mariupol is a transport hub of regional, national and international significance. Each day brings us positive changes, turning Mariupol into a city of European level which is open to all-round cooperation. The mission of Mariupol in Ukraine is to become an example of Ukrainian Priazovye, the heart of dynamic development of eastern Ukraine, its economic, social and multicultural center. Our task is to create a bright, attractive and immediately recognizable image of new Mariupol that will be known and loved both in Ukraine and abroad. The work was performed under the guidance of I.

Introduction The current environmental situation in Ukraine can be described as a critical, formed over a long period due to neglect of the objective laws of development and re- production of natural resources of Ukraine. There was a structural deformation of the economy of Ukraine, in which priority was granted to the development of raw materials extraction. Just this industry is considered to be the most environmentally dangerous. The main reasons which led to the threatening state of the environment are as follows: – outdated equipment and production technology, high energy intensity and material consumption of industrial processes, 2–3 times exceeding the same parameters of developed countries; – a high concentration of industrial facilities; – unfavorable structure of industrial production with a high contribution of environmentally hazardous activities; – the absence of proper environmental protection systems (sewage treatment plants, closed water cycle systems etc.), low level of operation of existing environmental objects; – lack of adequate legal and economic mechanisms which would encourage the development of environmentally sound technologies and environmental protection systems; – lack of proper control and monitoring of the environment quality. The iron and steel industry (including ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, cok- ing and rolling production, as well as related ancillary facilities and processes) is one of the most polluting industries which emissions from stationary sources of pollu- tion reaches up to 38% of the total amount of pollutants [1].

    Through Times of Trouble Russian, Eurasian, and Eastern European Politics

    i Through Times of Trouble Russian, Eurasian, and Eastern European Politics Series Editor: Michael O. Slobodchikoff, Troy University Mission Statement Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, little attention was paid to Russia, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. The United States and many Western governments reassigned their analysts to address different threats. Scholars began to focus much less on Russia, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, instead turning their attention to East Asia among other regions. With the descent of Ukraine into civil war, scholars and govern- ments have lamented the fact that there are not enough scholars studying Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. This series focuses on the Russian, Eurasian, and Eastern European region. We invite contributions addressing problems related to the politics and relations in this region. This series is open to contributions from scholars representing comparative politics, international relations, history, literature, linguistics, religious studies, and other disciplines whose work involves this important region. Successful proposals will be acces- sible to a multidisciplinary audience, and advance our understanding of Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. Advisory Board Michael E.

    OSW COMMENTARY NUMBER 174 1 Itial Phase As Being Beneficial (In Donetsk Regions, Oleh Tsaryov

    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 174 | 17.06.2015 www.osw.waw.pl The War republics in the Donbas one year after the outbreak of the conflict Tomasz Piechal More than one year since the first pro-Russian moves in the Donbas, separatists have taken control of parts of the Donbas and Luhansk oblasts but are still unable to form truly func- tioning administrative structures. The exercise of power by the central administration of the so-called ‘Donetsk People’s Republic’ (DPR) and ‘Luhansk People’s Republic’ (LPR) is restricted to resolving problems as they arise, while administration proper is the prerogative of the local authorities reporting to them which had been performing this function before the conflict broke out. The way the situation is developing and the fact that access to information is re- stricted make it difficult to determine the structure of the separatist government in more de- tail, precisely how it is organised, and what the internal hierarchy is like. The overriding goal of the governments of the DPR and the LPR is to maintain and develop their military potential. In effect, the lives of the so-called republics are subordinate to military goals. The Donbas separatism is a conglomerate of different groups of interests, with Russia at the fulcrum. Its representatives set the main tactical and strategic goals and thus have a decisive influence on the development of the situation in the region. Individual separatist groupings come into conflict, and some oligarchs linked to the former Party of Regions circles have also been making attempts to maintain their influence.
