    Nations in Transit brief May 2018 Far-right Extremism as a Threat to Ukrainian Democracy Vyacheslav Likhachev Kyiv-based expert on right-wing groups in Ukraine and Russia Photo by Aleksandr Volchanskiy • Far-right political forces present a real threat to the democratic development of Ukrainian society. This brief seeks to provide an overview of the nature and extent of their activities, without overstating the threat they pose. To this end, the brief differentiates between radical groups, which by and large ex- press their ideas through peaceful participation in democratic processes, and extremist groups, which use physical violence as a means to influence society. • For the first 20 years of Ukrainian independence, far-right groups had been undisputedly marginal elements in society. But over the last few years, the situation has changed. After Ukraine’s 2014 Euro- maidan Revolution and Russia’s subsequent aggression, extreme nationalist views and groups, along with their preachers and propagandists, have been granted significant legitimacy by the wider society. • Nevertheless, current polling data indicates that the far right has no real chance of being elected in the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections in 2019. Similarly, despite the fact that several of these groups have real life combat experience, paramilitary structures, and even access to arms, they are not ready or able to challenge the state. • Extremist groups are, however, aggressively trying to impose their agenda on Ukrainian society, in- cluding by using force against those with opposite political and cultural views. They are a real physical threat to left-wing, feminist, liberal, and LGBT activists, human rights defenders, as well as ethnic and religious minorities.

    УДК 552.14:004.942 REGIONAL STRUCTURAL-LITHOLOGICAL1MODELING OF SEDIMENTARY COVER D.P. Khrushchev Institute of Geological Sciences of NAS of Ukraine, Kiev, Ukraine, E-mail: [email protected] Doctor of geological-mineralogical sciences, professor, senior research worker. The idea of the project is the construction of computer (digital) structural-lithological models (DSLM) of sedimentary cover for state territories on regional principle proceeding from the defi- nition of geological region as a basic geostructural unit of Earth crust. Digital structural-lithological model – it is three-demensional computer representation of the geological objects, comprising it’s structural and qualitative characteristics. Methodological principles, methods, available de- velopments and modeling patterns are reflected to prove the feasibility of the project realization. Practical goal of modeling is the creation of integral geoinformatic foundation for multilateral cog- nitive image of an object and for information provision of all directories and kinds of human geo- logical activity (R&D) on multilateral use and protection (including geological hazards) of geological environment. The result achieved is obtaining of single united system of regional DSLM on state territorial level. The project proposed represents a part of conceptual compound project, the object of which has to comprise both sedimentary cover and magmatic, metamorphic for- mations. The achieved result of such a project is the developing of the integral digital structural- lithological-petrological model of Earth crust as a whole. Key words: sedimentary formations, sedimentary cover, computer modeling, geoinformatic sy- stem, geological environment use, geological environment protection.
