  • Post-Soviet Civil Society in Transition: Leftist Social Movements in Lithuania
    POST-SOVIET CIVIL SOCIETY IN TRANSITION: LEFTIST SOCIAL MOVEMENTS IN LITHUANIA By Laura Daukšaitė Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Béla Greskovits CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2020 Declaration of Authorship I, the undersigned …Laura Daukšaitė…. hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. To the best of my knowledge this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted as part of the requirements of any other academic degree or non-degree program, in English or in any other language. This is a true copy of the thesis, including final revisions. Date: ……………………………………………………… Name (printed letters): ……………………………………………………… Signature: ……………………………………………………… CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The existing discourse on leftist movements in post-Soviet countries characterizes them as weak and isolated. This research analyzes the case of Lithuania, which has had parliamentary left parties since the democratic transition. Despite this, a new leftist movement recently began to emerge. Therefore, I answer the question, why has the political opportunity emerged for new leftist political groups despite the presence of the “old” left in the Lithuanian government? I analyze the case on several levels. Macro level analysis is based on European Value Study (EVS) 3rd pre-release of 2017 data, while for mezzo/micro level analysis I conducted 8 interviews with the members of the new leftist movement. The research reveals that a precarious society was formed by the losers of democratic transition and globalization.

  • Russia's Perspectives on International Politics
    Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 26, pp. 1‒24 Articles Russia’s Perspectives on International Politics: A Comparison of Liberalist, Realist and Geopolitical Paradigms* SHIN Beom-Shik The purpose of this article is to examine Russian perspectives on interna- tional politics. This study will focus on the following questions: What are the characteristics of the Russian understanding of major changes in international politics since the collapse of the Soviet Union; and, what are the implications of Russia’s perspectives on international politics for IR theory in the post-Cold War era? There are two approaches to analyzing Russia’s perception of internation- al politics. The first focuses on mapping foreign policy orientations in Russia and their influence on official Russian foreign policies. The second analyzes elites’ and masses’ perceptions of the general dynamics of international politics rather than foreign policies. When we examine discussions on the orientations of Russian foreign poli- cies, we discover a number of different schools. Scholars adopt different cri- teria for categorizing Russian foreign policy orientations. This categorization ranges from two orientations (Westernism / Eurasianism),1 three (Liberalist or Atlanticist or Liberal internationalist / Pragmatic Nationalist or Eurasianist / Patriotic Nationalist or Derzhavniki),2 four (Pro-Westernist or Moderate Liber- alist / Centrist or Moderate Conservatives / Neo Communist / the Extreme right Nationalist),3 to even five (Expansionists / Civilizationists / Stabilizers / Geo- * ��������This wor ��������������������������������������������������������������������������was supported by the research grant funded by the University of Incheon in 2007. 1 ���������������Alexander Rarl, ����������������������Atlantistics’ versus ����������������������Eurasians’ in Russian �oreign���������������� Policies, RFE/RL Re- search Report 1:22 (May 29, 1992), pp. 17–22. 2 ������������Alex Pravda, �The��������������� Politics of �oreign�������������� Policy, ������������in S.

Introduction EU accession states may have thrown off their Soviet past in political terms, but abandoning some of the Soviet era technologies is proving to be harder. Civil nuclear power is on the way out in most of Europe, but for some ex­Soviet countries this may present serious problems of economic, social and cultural transformation ­­ especially in countries like Lithuania, where nuclear power supplies the bulk of the electricity. The issue has come to a head given the EU's insistence that several ex­Soviet states must agree to close their nuclear plant as a condition of EU entry.

GENERAL TRANSPORT POLICY ASPECTS A. Developments with regard to your Government's policy objectives for inland transport as a whole and for special sectors (road, rail, inland waterway, urban transport, etc.) as well as external objectives (land use planning, regional development, etc.) to the extent they are related to transport 1. In 2005 the Government of the Republic of Lithuania approved a Long-Term Development Strategy of the Lithuanian Transport System (until 2025). This Strategy gives the analysis of the long-term development perspective of the different transport modes and establishment of the public logistics centres (“freight villages”). In addition, it emphasizes the importance of intermodal interaction in the development of the Lithuanian transport infrastructure. Along with general policy measures, this Strategy also presents the development measures of individual transport modes envisaged for specific periods: from 2007 through 2013 and until the year 2025. 2. Two major priorities are defined in the Strategy: the development of the North-South transport axis and improvement of the East-West transport axis. GE.07- ECE/TRANS/WP.5/2007/7/Add.2 page 2 3. The first priority is based on the creation and further development of a modern multimodal Trans-European Transport Network along the North-South direction.

Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Anna Kovalchuk iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Kovalchuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2017 Title: Narrating the National Future: The Cossacks in Ukrainian and Russian Romantic Literature This dissertation investigates nineteenth-century narrative representations of the Cossacks—multi-ethnic warrior communities from the historical borderlands of empire, known for military strength, pillage, and revelry—as contested historical figures in modern identity politics. Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

  • Reform Or Consensus? Choral Synagogues in the Russian Empire
    arts Article Reform or Consensus? Choral Synagogues in the Russian Empire Vladimir Levin The Center for Jewish Art, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9190501, Israel; [email protected] Received: 5 May 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Many scholars view the choral synagogues in the Russian Empire as Reform synagogues, influenced by the German Reform movement. This article analyzes the features characteristic of Reform synagogues in central and Western Europe, and demonstrates that only a small number of these features were implemented in the choral synagogues of Russia. The article describes the history, architecture, and reception of choral synagogues in different geographical areas of the Russian Empire, from the first maskilic synagogues of the 1820s–1840s to the revolution of 1917. The majority of changes, this article argues, introduced in choral synagogues were of an aesthetic nature. The changes concerned decorum, not the religious meaning or essence of the prayer service. The initial wave of choral synagogues were established by maskilim, and modernized Jews became a catalyst for the adoption of the choral rite by other groups. Eventually, the choral synagogue became the “sectorial” synagogue of the modernized elite. It did not have special religious significance, but it did offer social prestige and architectural prominence. Keywords: synagogue; Jewish history in Russia; reform movement; Haskalah; synagogue architecture; Jewish cultural studies; Jewish architecture 1. Introduction The synagogue was the most important Jewish public space until the emergence of secular institutions in the late nineteenth century. As such, it was a powerful means of representation of the Jewish community in its own eyes and in the eyes of the non-Jewish population.
