As a result, we have made changes to the 2017 Revision in order to provide the most updated version possible. As a reminder, this is only a guide. California has signed numerous new laws for 2017 which may take time for interpretation or revision. You should verify any information in this book. Additionally, the Department has an extensive resource site that should be visited often: SSDWEB. Should you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. Sergeant Dan Cabral, SCDSA Vice President [email protected] Deputy Stephanie DeShon [email protected] 2010 Edition FOREWARD The motivation for this guide grew out of our experiences as we went through patrol training. We saw a need for a collection of patrol resources that all Deputies had access to before patrol

    PRZEGLĄD RUSYCYSTYCZNY 2007. ZESZYT 4 (120) Marina Abasheva Perm State Pedagogical University, Russian Federation AESTHETICS VERSUS POLITICS: NIGHT WATCH AS THE COLD WAR ECHO This paper is devoted not so much to the popular literary tetralogy by Sergei Luk’ianenko, Night Watch (Ночной дозор), Day Watch (Дневной дозор), Twilight Watch (Сумеречный дозор), and Last Watch (Последний дозор) (2002-2006), editions of which have exceeded a million sales. Instead, this paper will focus mainly on its cinematic adaptations, Night Watch and Day Watch, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and released in 2004 and 2006. The box offi ce take of these fi lms was dozens of times their budget of 4.2 million US dollars, which, while incom- parable to American movie industry expenditures, is quite substantial for Russia. The movies were shown in Europe and the United States, and the third movie, Twilight Watch, will be shot in the United States in cooperation with the production company Fox Searchlight. These books and movies have become genuinely popular in contemporary Russia, which is no longer accustomed to huge literatary editions and the cinematic fame of the Soviet Mosfi lm studio. These books and movies have earned entrance to popular culture by the characteristics of their contents: while following the structure of a “formula narrative” (Cavelty), it is also an aggregation of fantasy, horror, adventure, catastrophe and many others. The success of these movies can be explained mainly by certain effective tech- niques of cinema marketing, new to the Russian fi lm industry, such as an extensive PR campaign and aggressive advertising (the fi lm was produced by Channel One, the central state channel of the Russian television).

  • The Eight Prayer Watches: Which One Is Yours?
    The Eight Prayer Watches: Which One is Yours? In James 5:16 (NIV), we are told that the “prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” As we pray, we stand watch over our families, cities, and nations. Just as men stood on city walls in the Bible to watch for approaching danger, God calls us to be modern-day watchmen and warn those who are in danger (2 Kings 9:17-18). We are to watch not only for the enemy’s activity but also for the manifestation of God’s plans. If we watch for the enemy and announce his activity, we can avert the devil’s plans to steal, kill and destroy what God has for us. Jesus said in Matthew 24:43, “But know this, if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” Today more than ever, it is important that we pray and seek the mind of the Lord: “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Major decisions we are confronted with require us to know God’s individual will for our lives. With the Holy Spirit’s leading, we can discover God’s will and expose the plans of the enemy through strategic prayer. 1 The Bible speaks of “watches,” which are specific times of the day or night. There are basically eight watches covering 24 hours. This is because everyone has a prayer watch, even though they may not know it.

ZESZYT 4 (120) Hélène Mélat Sorbonne University, France ORDER AND DISORDER IN CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN BLOCKBUSTERS Introduction One of the most striking phenomena in the Russian culture at the turn of the 21st century is the explosion of popular culture (detective literature and cinema, romance, fantasy) and its diversifi cation. For a scholar, popular culture is interest- ing because, on the one hand, it refl ects the state of mind of the population and, on the other hand, it helps to create a special ‘populous’ state of mind. It is a powerful tool for the political establishment that helps to convey an ideology because it is both entertaining and easily accessible. In this vein, modern fairy tales for adults can tell us a lot about the Russian society of our days.

    Patriot Games: The Ninth Company and Russian Convergent Cultures after Communism STEPHEN M. NORRIS Miami University (OH) Abstract: This article examines the memory battles that took place across new media outlets after Fedor Bondarchuk’s 2005 Afghan War blockbuster Ninth Company hit Russian screens. Bondarchuk’s film attempted to memorialize the Afghan War as a national-spiritual ‘victory’, one that overall reaffirmed the war as Russia’s Vietnam. Ninth Company triggered responses across cyberspace as Russian veterans, audiences, critics and others argued about Bond- archuk’s vision, discussions that led to the creation of a video game response entitled ‘The Truth about the Ninth Company’. Developed by Dmitrii ‘Goblin’ Puchkov, the game at- tempted to counter Bondarchuk’s film by having players take part in simulations of the battle covered on the big screen, this time to posit that Soviet soldiers did their duty and that the war was not a Soviet Vietnam. Puchkov’s position on the Afghan War led the producers of Bond- archuk’s film to issue their own video game response. These battles over the meaning of the Afghan War, as the article argues, should be understood within two frameworks: first, the emergence of new forms of media in the new Russia that allowed these ‘cinegames’ to flour- ish; and second, the evolution of remembrance practices in the new Russia that have attempt- ed to find meaning in the Soviet past. Keywords: Ninth Company; Soviet-Afghan War; Fedor Bondarchuk; Dmitrii Puchkov; post- Soviet memory; Russian patriotic culture; Russian video game culture. mblazoned with the title ‘Ninth Company: A Military-Patriotic Strategy Game’, Lesta E Games’ 2008 product included a video game, informative guide, a feature film, a docu- mentary film and a collection of music videos from the group ‘The Blue Berets / Golubye berety’, made up of Afghan veterans.

  • Forging a New Russian Hero: Post-Soviet Science Fiction and Its Moral Objectives
    Forging a New Russian Hero: Post-Soviet Science Fiction and Its Moral Objectives Elena Mironciuc Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Russian Department April 2013 © 2013 Elena Mironciuc Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis was very much dependent on the guidance and support of my thesis advisor, Thomas Hodge. Without his expert eye and encouragement my work might not have seen the light of day. Additionally, I would like to thank Marina and Sergei Dyachenko, whom I had the pleasure to meet in person and who encouraged me to study their works. My gratitude also goes out o my friend and fellow student of Russian literature, Anya Corke, who helped me immensely with editing and formulating my work. 2 Notes on Transliteration Throughout my thesis I transliterated Russian names and titles using the Library of Congress System for Transliteration without diacritic marks. However, sometimes the writers chose to spell their names in a different manner (not according to the Library of Congress System). I made a decision to use their self-selected ways of spelling because they were also most popular and widespread. For example, instead of D'iachenko and Luk'ianenko I used Dyachenko and Lukyanenko. 3 Table of Contents Introduction ......................................................................................................................................................5 Chapter One: Sergei Lukyanenko .......................................................................................................................................................8
