It is noted that in the post-Soviet Russian Federation political symbols perform a number of socially significant functions, contribute to the formation, preservation and transmission of the historical and cultural heritage of the state. It is stressed that through the assimilation of political symbols of the nation and the state, the ideals and values of the country are preserved in the consciousness of the person. Special attention is paid to the history of formation and development of ritual- procedural symbolism. The ideological role of the inauguration as a symbol that forms the national image of the head of state and the consolidation of the country's citizens in the public consciousness is emphasized. It is noted that the main contribution to the development of the inaugural protocol was made by Protocol B.

    2011 2012 ADAM MICKIEWICZ INSTITUTE | REPORT | SEASON 2011/2012 It was an excellent season for the growth of the Polska brand as well as for the development of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute’s reputation among our global partners. Paweł Potoroczyn, director of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute The 2011/2012 season will be remembered as a period of great challenges and spectacular outcomes. With whole-hearted accountability, we can say today that through the success of the International Cultural Programme of the Polish EU Presidency we have gained a level of experience that prepares us to meet any challenge head on. This experience is already paying dividends, as evidenced by projects like Polska Arts Edinburgh 2012, Polska Music, the Asia Project and the latest concert tour of the I, CULTURE Orchestra. The International Programme of the Polish Presidency surpassed even our boldest expectations – 20 million spectators in 10 world capitals, more than 7,500 write-ups in the most influential media and hundreds of valuable new contacts. At the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, we do not speak about the success of the Presidency; we speak about its effects, thanks to which Poland now has a face and our national brand is ever more robust and ever more reflective of the most desirable traits. Equally important to us is the fact that, due to the geographic reach of the Presidency, we gained valuable and practical experience in the Far East, which we plan to capitalise on in upcoming seasons. Though the Presidency is now behind us, two of its pillar projects will continue to shine with a new lease on life and, thus, a new energy: the I, CULTURE Orchestra and the Karol Szymanowski project.

THE ALEXANDROV ENSEMBLE (OR THE RED ARMY CHOIR & ORCHESTRA) The Alexandrov Ensemble is an official army choir of the Russian armed forces. Founded during the Soviet era, the ensemble consists of a male choir, an orchestra, and a dance ensemble. The Ensemble has entertained audiences both in Russia and throughout the world, performing a range of music including folk tunes, hymns, operatic arias and popular music. The group's repertoire has included The Volga Boatmen's Song, Katyusha, Kalinka, and Ave Maria. It is named for its first director, Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov (1883–1946). Its formal name since 1998 has been Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance of the Russian Army named after A. V. Alexandrov. The Alexandrov Ensemble and the MVD Ensemble are the only groups with the right to claim the title "Red Army Choir". On 25 December 2016, the artistic director and 63 other members of the Ensemble were killed in the Russian Defence Ministry aircraft crash of a 1983 Tupolev Tu-154 into the Black Sea just after takeoff from the southern resort city of Sochi, Russia.

  • Was Soft Power Used During the Cold War?
    Was Soft Power used during the Cold War? PS490 - Senior Thesis May 6, 2021 Drake C. Dewey Politics, Government, and Law Drake Dewey PS490 - Senior Thesis Dr. Kachuyevski May 5, 2021 Soft Power Present during the Cold War: 1946-1991 Abstract: On December 25, 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as the leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics which resulted in the formal conclusion of the Cold War. The Cold War was an ideological battle between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from the mid-1940s until 1991. I have decided to put the beginning date of the Cold War as March 5, 1946, while the end date is December 25, 1991. During the Cold War, there was a new form of power which was coined by Joseph Nye. Scholars have questioned the influence of soft versus hard power during the Cold War. Soft power, according to Joseph Nye, is the ability of “a country to persuade others to do what it wants without force or coercion.” Emerging from this is my research question which asks: did the use of soft power, through the use of culture, sports, films, and music, contribute to the outcome of the Cold War? By using the method process tracing and a wide variety of variables, I can answer my question in the affirmative. The United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics did engage in a different kind of war and the winner was the United States through their use of soft power. Dewey 1 Introduction: Ever since I started my undergraduate studies at Arcadia University I have been fascinated with the Cold War.

  • Teaching Russian in a Closely Related Slovak Environment1
    Russian Language Studies 2021 Vol. 19 No. 2 191–206 http://journals.rudn.ru/ Русистика russianlanguagestudies DOI 10.22363/2618-8163-2021-19-2-191-206 Scientific article Teaching Russian in a closely related Slovak environment1 Elena M. Markova1✉, Roman Kvapil2 1Kosygin State University of Russia (Technology. Design. Art), 33 Sadovnicheskaya St, bldg. 1, Moscow, 117977, Russian Federation, 2University of Economics in Bratislava, 1 Dolnozemska St, Bratislava, 85235, Slovak Republic ✉ [email protected] Abstract. The article discusses features of studying Russian as a foreign language in schools in Slovakia. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that the new socio-political condi- tions in which Russian is studied as a second foreign language competing with other languages have brought about changes in the status, goals, motives for study, content, approaches to selecting, group- ing and presenting material, the methodological concept of teaching. The aim of the work is to identify the features of teaching Russian as a second foreign language in a closely related Slovak language environment. The authors drew on the method of comparison and collation, the method of application (overlaying fragments of language systems), method of component analysis, method of word-formation analysis, methods of analysis of official statistical, sociolinguistic data. In the course of the study, the data of the State Institute for Education Statistics and Forecasts of the Slovak Republic, the pecu- liarities of Slovak students’ motivation for learning the Russian language were analyzed, a compara- tive analysis of the main lexical and grammatical phenomena of the Russian and Slovak languages was carried out.
