The period of investigation coincides with Yeltsin’s presidency. The focus is on how the legitimation rhetoric was adjusted both to changing circumstances over time and to three main audiences: the Russian domestic population, the Russian domestic elites and the international community. In order to analyse the contents of the legitimation formula a framework was developed which divided the different arguments used by the Russian leadership into six main categories (democratic, national, charismatic, eudaemonic, external and negative arguments). The material selected for analysis had to relate to basic features of statehood.

  • Container and Multimodal Railway Transportations in Russia Commissioned By
    Ruslan Aliev CONTAINER AND MULTIMODAL RAILWAY TRANSPORTATIONS IN RUSSIA Bachelor’s thesis Degree Programme in Business Logistics 2020 Author Degree Time Ruslan Aliev Degree Programme April 2020 in Business Logistics Thesis title 67 pages Container and multimodal railway transportations in Russia Commissioned by Kouvola Innovation Oy Supervisor Jouni Ropponen Abstract Railway container transportation is one of the fastest-growing areas of the transport industry in Russia. Even though Russia is not a leading country in terms of the share of container transport by rail today, it gives them very important strategic importance. With its vast geographical area, Russia has very good opportunities for becoming a transport giant. Container and multimodal rail transportation in Russia and the prospects for their further development were studied in this thesis including current situation of rail container transportation in Russia, positions of the transport system of Russia in the world, current trends of the Russian transport market, role of the state in modernizing railway infrastructure and the technologies that are used in railway container transportation. In addition, the Kouvola-Xi'an route was analyzed in detail. In the study, both qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis were used. Quantitative methods were used to formalize statistics for a clear understanding of the topic and qualitative methods were employed in the form of interviews found on the Internet and annual reports of companies. The paper showed that Russia has great potential for increasing freight traffic, especially in transit. The continuous work to modernize the infrastructure will most likely lead to an increase in freight traffic. Innovation is an important component for development.

(Published for the American Society for Information Science by Information Today, Inc., Medford, NJ, 1998.). It includes items through 1994. An earlier version was published in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology vol. 30 (1995): 385-416. HISTORY OF INFORMATION SCIENCE Michael Buckland and Ziming Liu INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to provide a review of historical writings about the development of information science (IS) or certain aspects of it rather than to review historic events and figures in the development of IS. We have reviewed the available literature, preferring but not limiting ourselves to formal historical writing, the kind that professional historians produce. An earlier version of this review (BUCKLAND & LIU) appeared in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology, which has had two prior chapters dealing, in part, with the history of IS. In 1977, in the chapter entitled "History and Foundations of Information Science," SHERA & CLEVELAND included an historical introduction to the field, and some of the literature reviewed was about the history of IS. A significant part of the chapter by RICHARDS (1992) addressed the history of information science in the Soviet Union.

It is autumn outside and we decided to prolong summer and went to the Black Sea coast where the 4th International ACEX conference took place. It is no secret that it is useful to discuss business in an informal situation, and not just at official meetings. We tried to achieve it planning this conference. We decided as well to try new format besides bilateral negotiations: the format of round tables discussions to tell delegates about the actual topics in logistics. It is for the guests to decide if we succeeded or not. And they have arrived from more than 13 countries of the world, having done a long way in transatlantic flights. The conference arrangements were under way. We prepared gifts for participants, chose the best platforms of the city of Sochi for carrying out a gala dinner and cocktail reception, planned an excursion in unusual places of the Olympic capital in order for guests could feel the most comfortable. English, French, Japanese and other languages of the world filled the conference halls, the participants exchanged ideas, projects and new transport corridors and itineraries were created, the consolidation points were found and new projects were started. The TV-channel Russia 1 included the event into its prime time. The participants took the presents, impressions and new ideas for the business development home.

    (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol. 7, No. 6, 2016 The Development of the Routing Pattern of the Backbone Data Transmission Network for the Automation of the Krasnoyarsk Railway Sergey Victorovich Makarov Faridun Abdulnazarov Omurbek Anarbekov Department of Information Systems Department of Information Systems Department of Information Systems Yurga Technological Institute of the Yurga Technological Institute of the Yurga Technological Institute of the Tomsk Polytechnic University Tomsk Polytechnic University Tomsk Polytechnic University Jurga, Russia Jurga, Russia Jurga, Russia Abstract—The paper deals with the data transmission important for the automation system in general. Failure in the network of the Krasnoyarsk Railway, its structure, the topology data transfer network operation can make absolutely senseless of data transmission and the routing protocol, which supports its operation of the automation application in case, if there is no operation, as well as the specifics of data transmission possibility to transfer the information, processed by networking. The combination of the railway automation automation application, on operation of the company servicing applications and the data transmission network make up the the rail road, station or directorate. The data transfer can be automation systems, making it possible to improve performance, sufficiently delayed when transferring large data volumes increase the freight traffic volume, and improve the quality of using voice communication or low speed mobile data transfer passenger service. The objective of this paper is to study the network. When functionality of the data transfer network is existing data transmission network of the Krasnoyarsk Railway recovered, the importance of collected information can be and to develop ways of its modernization, in order to improve the reliability of the network and the automated systems that use this already lost.
