Why Are Warm-Water Ports Important to Russian Security?
JEMEAA - FEATURE Why Are Warm- Water Ports Important to Russian Security? The Cases of Sevastopol and Tartus Compared TANVI CHAUHAN Abstract This article aims to examine why Russia’s warm-water ports are so important to Russian security. First, the article defines whatsecurity encompasses in relation to ports. Second, the article presents two case studies: the Crimean port of Sevasto- pol and the Syrian port of Tartus. This article proves that warm-water ports are important to Russian security because they enable Russia to control the sea, proj- ect power, maintain good order, and observe a maritime consensus. Each of these categorical reasons are then analyzed in the Crimean and Syrian context. The re- sults are compared in regional perspective, followed by concluding remarks on what the findings suggest about Russian foreign policy in retrospect, as well as Russian security in the future. Introduction General discourse attribute ports with a binary character: commercial or naval. However, the importance of ports is not limited to those areas alone. Security in the twenty- first century has come to constitute multidimensional relationships, so this article will approach the importance of warm- water ports for security by us- ing the broad concept of maritime security, rather than naval security alone. Previ- ously, the maritime context covered naval confrontations and absolute sea control, but today, scholars have elaborated the maritime environment to include security missions spanning from war and diplomacy to maritime resource preservation, safe cargo transit, border protection from external threats, engagement in security operations, and preventing misuse of global maritime commons.1 Thus, maritime security has crucial links to political, economic, military, and social elements.

What Is the Kremlin up to in Belarus? Joerg Forbrig
Transatlantic Take 14 September 2020 What Is the Kremlin up to in Belarus? Joerg Forbrig Against the background of ongoing mass protests in Belarus, a critical meeting will take place this Monday in the Russian Black Sea city of Sochi. Alexander Lukashenka, the Belarusian strongman struggling to hold on to power, meets with Vladimir Putin, his key supporter. This first personal meeting since a popular uprising began against Lukashenka’s massively falsified reelection is an important indicator of where the political crisis in Belarus is headed. The fate of Lukashenka is at stake, as is that of the democratic movement in Belarus and the continued existence of an independent Belarusian state. Russia undoubtedly plays a central role in all these respects. However, the EU can and must bring to bear its influence more decisively than before. The Belarusian summer surprised Russia no less than most in Europe and even in Belarus itself. The Kremlin had assumed that Lukashenka would assert his power but would be weakened, given rising discontent in Belar- usian society. Moscow reckoned that this would finally force Minsk to make concessions in the direction of closer political integration between the two countries, which Putin had long called for, but which Lukashenka had so far rejected to preserve his own power. The fact that the continued existence of the Lukashenka regime would be seriously questioned by a popular uprising was unexpected for the Russian leadership. Mirroring that, Russian reactions to the events in Belarus were contradictory. Putin’s congratulations on Lukashenka’s election victory were accompanied by clear criticism from high-ranking Moscow politicians of the Belarusian ruler’s actions, and the Russian state media reported unusually openly on election fraud, mass protests, and police violence.

Life in Russia's Closed City: Moscow's Movement Restrictions and the Rule Of
LIFE IN RUSSIA'S "CLOSED CITY": MOSCOW'S MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS AND THE RULE OF LAW DAmIAN S. SCHAIBLE* The City of Moscow continues to enforce a restrictive residence registrationregime similar to the propiska system that prevailed in the Soviet era-despite constitu- tional guarantees of the freedom of movement, federal statutory provisions imple- menting that right, and Constitutional Court rulings that such restrictions are unconstitutional In this Note, Damian Schaible argues that the continued restric- tions representmore than simply an ongoing violation of the human rights of Mos- cow's illegal residents; they are also an indicatorof Russia's imperfect transition to the rule of law and a practicalobstacle to the success of that transition. IN7MODUCrION In October 1999, while Moscow was gripped by terror in the wake of a series of apartment bombings, 20,000 people in the city were arrested and detained by police,1 while another 15,000 were or- dered to leave the city.2 A family of three was told one morning that they had twenty-four hours to vacate the apartment where they had lived for seven years and to leave Moscow.3 There may be as many as three million other people, still living in Moscow, who are effectively nonpersons in the eyes of local law.4 They are unable to vote, marry * This Note is dedicated to the memory of John Joseph Ostertog (1917-2000), who taught me so much. I would like to thank Professor Alexander Domrin for his helpful comments, and the members of the New York University Law Review, especially Margaret Lemos, David McTaggart, Michael Russano, and David Yocis, for their excellent advice and editorial assistance.

S de Compostela, the most fabled city in the autonomous region of Galicia in north-west Spain, is the fulcrum of our imaginative trajectory from Palermo to Tunis, but paradoxically an end point for most late medieval travelers, the place where they turned around and went home again. The medieval pilgrimage route had as its goal the purported relics and tomb of the apostle St James the Elder, supposedly long forgotten in Spain where James had preached before his martyrdom in Palestine in . When an ancient crypt—aRoman-stylemauso- leum from the ﬁrst centuries of Christianity—was discovered in the early ninth century, an increasing number of pious travellers made it their destination of choice.
