  • Mobilization and Isolation As Outcomes of a Dysfunctional Soviet Landscape
    Mobilization and Isolation as Outcomes of a Dysfunctional Soviet Landscape. [a working title] Craig Campbell This paper is about the resilience of soviet landscapes in post-communist Siberia. It is my thesis that the Soviet landscape endures into the early years of the 21st Century as a dysfunctional artifact of the Soviet era. Many indigenous Siberian peoples living in remote villages and settlements have little or no access to means of travel and subsequently are suffering from a variety of problems associated with impoverishment and isolation. The soviet era placement of settlements and their requisite infrastructures are material reminders of a built environment that has failed to adapt to the conditions of market capitalism that now characterize the economies of central Siberia and are poorly suited to provide for the needs of remotely located rural peoples in the post-Soviet era. The settlements were designed to function with the redistributive inputs of fuel and subsidies associated with Soviet socialism and fail to work in their absence. In other words, Soviet settlements in rural Siberia are de-localized (Pelto 1973) technological systems. All of the artifacts of socialism are now precariously situated because of their dependence upon transfer payments, subsidies, and centralized bureaucracies. The post-Soviet landscape is littered with crippled devices of industrial manufacture, confounding the possibility for rural peoples to develop healthy communities. This paper presents a history organized around mobility where travel and the inability to travel is taken as a key experience for both indigenous northerners and newcomers. In my argument the current predicament of de- mobilization and isolation in remote villages of central Siberia is shown to be in part a result of enduring dysfunctional landscapes and the difficulty of negotiating mobility within these landscapes.

  • Mikhail Gorbachev's Speech in Murmansk at the Ceremonial Meeting on the Occasion of the Presentation of the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star to the City of Murmansk
    MIKHAIL GORBACHEV'S SPEECH IN MURMANSK AT THE CEREMONIAL MEETING ON THE OCCASION OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE ORDER OF LENIN AND THE GOLD STAR TO THE CITY OF MURMANSK Murmansk, 1 Oct. 1987 Indeed, the international situation is still complicated. The dangers to which we have no right to turn a blind eye remain. There has been some change, however, or, at least, change is starting. Certainly, judging the situation only from the speeches made by top Western leaders, including their "programme" statements, everything would seem to be as it was before: the same anti-Soviet attacks, the same demands that we show our commitment to peace by renouncing our order and principles, the same confrontational language: "totalitarianism", "communist expansion", and so on. Within a few days, however, these speeches are often forgotten, and, at any rate, the theses contained in them do not figure during businesslike political negotiations and contacts. This is a very interesting point, an interesting phenomenon. It confirms that we are dealing with yesterday's rhetoric, while real- life processes have been set into motion. This means that something is indeed changing. One of the elements of the change is that it is now difficult to convince people that our foreign policy, our initiatives, our nuclear-free world programme are mere "propaganda". A new, democratic philosophy of international relations, of world politics is breaking through. The new mode of thinking with its humane, universal criteria and values is penetrating diverse strata. Its strength lies in the fact that it accords with people's common sense.

  • Making the Case for an American Nuclear Icebreaker, 1957-1961 Peter
    “The United States Cannot Afford to Lag Behind Russia”: Making the Case for an American Nuclear Icebreaker, 1957-1961 Peter Kikkert Between 1957 and 1961, Representative Herbert Bonner and Senator Warren G. Magnuson spearheaded efforts to gain authorization for the US Coast Guard to construct and operate a nuclear-powered icebreaker. This article uses congressional hearings and debates and media coverage to conduct a frame analysis and map the arguments, themes, and stories – the language and discourse – used to convince decision-makers to build the vessel. While state competition became the central frame used by American nuclear icebreaker proponents, national security, science and technology, an uncertain future, and technical details about the existing fleet’s decline were also popular narratives. Although the movement to secure authorization for the construction of a nuclear icebreaker enjoyed popular bi- partisan and bi-cameral support in Congress, it failed to convince a budget-conscious Eisenhower administration, which insisted the Coast Guard required other vessels far more than icebreakers. De 1957 à 1961, les membres du Congrès se sont efforcés d’obtenir l’autorisation de la Garde côtière américaine de construire un brise-glace à propulsion nucléaire. À l’aide d’audiences du Congrès, de débats et de reportages dans les médias, cet article effectue une analyse de cadre et recense les arguments, les thèmes et les récits qui ont servi à convaincre les décideurs de construire le navire. Alors que les partisans américains des brise-glaces nucléaires se sont principalement fiés à la concurrence entre états comme leur cadre principal, la sécurité nationale, la science et la technologie, un avenir incertain et des détails techniques concernant le déclin de la flotte existante étaient également des conceptions populaires.

" Battle cry of the Soviet government. Shortcut In autumn 1934 the Hero of the Soviet Union, the polar marine pilot Sigismund Alexandrovich Levanevskogo enticed by the idea Flight. He was the first in the Soviet Union, who suggested the idea of non-stop flight across the North Pole. The starting point of the route was Moscow; fit to accomplish the same in the U.S. The Soviet government in this project was received with great interest and supported the idea of non-stop transpolar flight. Of course! From Moscow to San Francisco can be reached in three ways - through the pole across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. In this case, the distance will be 9,605 km, 14,000 km and 18,000 respectively. Sigismund Levanevsky Zygmunt A. Levanevsky - a very controversial figure in the history of Soviet aviation.

  • SECTION THREE: Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica
    SECTION THREE: Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica The need to protect historic sites and monuments became apparent as the number of expeditions to the Antarctic increased. At the Seventh Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting it was agreed that a list of historic sites and monuments be created. So far 74 sites have been identified. All of them are monuments – human artifacts rather than areas – and many of them are in close proximity to scientific stations. Provision for protection of these sites is contained in Annex V, Article 8. Listed Historic Sites and Monuments may not be damaged, removed, or destroyed. 315 List of Historic Sites and Monuments Identified and Described by the Proposing Government or Governments 1. Flag mast erected in December 1965 at the South Geographical Pole by the First Argentine Overland Polar Expedition. 2.

  • Indigenous People”
    Evolution of the Concept “Indigenous People” in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation: the Case Study of Vepses. by Anna Varfolomeeva Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Advisor: Professor Andras Pap CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract This thesis discusses the changes in the politics towards indigenous peoples in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, and the implementation of indigenous rights in contemporary Russia. All the major changes in Soviet and Russian national politics influenced indigenous peoples, and although today the Russian Federation claims to follow international norms on indigenous rights protection, neither ILO Convention 169, nor the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are ratified by the Russian state. The thesis shows that despite the attempts of international organizations to create unified standards of indigenous rights protection, the position of native population still to a large extend depends on the politics and priorities of a concrete state. The work includes the analysis of the indigenous rights of Vepses, a small Finno-Ugrian people residing in the North-West of Russia. The process of indigenous status recognition in the case of Vepses and the implementation of their indigenous rights are discussed. As the case study shows, the lack of coherence between federal and regional legislation in Russia, as well as vague formulations of legislative acts lead to the situation when federal provisions on indigenous people’s rights are not implemented by regional authorities.
