  • Sanctions and Russia Order in Ukraine, by Resuming Fighting and Taking Over New Towns and Villages, and Russia the West Will Have to Scale-Up Sanctions Significantly
    Sanctions have so far been the most effective instrument of Western influ- ence on Russia’s policy towards Ukraine, stopping the Kremlin from making a greater military incursion in the country. Restrictions were imposed against more than one hundred members of the Russian political and business elite, as sanctions well as dozens of Russian enterprises and banks. The annexation of Crimea and war in eastern Ukraine transformed assumptions about Russia, from a strategic partner, especially in energy, into a strategic challenge, mainly for regional secu- rity. Should Russia persist in challenging the principles of European cooperative sanctions And Russia order in Ukraine, by resuming fighting and taking over new towns and villages, And Russia the West will have to scale-up sanctions significantly. At the same time, the West should elaborate precise benchmarks against which to measure any potential Russian cooperative behaviour in Ukraine, before deciding to suspend or cancel sanctions. The Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) is a leading Central Europe- an think tank that positions itself between the world of politics and independent analysis.

  • Romanov News Новости Романовых
    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №128 November 2018 - Part 1/2 7 In the memory of Emperor Alexander III In 1894, Alexander III became ill with terminal kidney disease (nephritis). Maria Feodorovna's sister-in-law, Queen Olga of Greece, offered her villa of Mon Repos, on the island of Corfu, in the hope that it might improve the Emperor's condition. By the time that they reached Crimea, Alexander was too weak to travel any further, so they stayed at the Small Palace in Livadia. Recognizing that the Emperor's days were numbered, various Imperial relatives began to descend on Livadia and also the famed clergyman John of Kronstadt, who administered Communion to the Emperor. On 21 October, Alexander received Nicholas's fiancée, Princess Alix, who had come from her native Darmstadt to receive the Emperor's blessing. Despite being exceedingly weak, Alexander insisted on receiving Alix in full dress uniform, an event that left him exhausted. Soon after, his health began to deteriorate more rapidly. After a sleepless night on November 1st the Emperor knew that his time was almost up. At 10 in the morning all the family gathered around the Emperor seated in his favourite armchair, who spoke a few kind words, kissed all who were present; not forgetting to congratulate Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna's on the occasion of her thirtieth birthday. At 11 morning, the situation was described as: "(The) activity of the heart continues to diminish. Shortness of breath is increasing. Fully conscious." In the presence of Father John of Kronstadt, Alexander took communion at 11.30.

  • Crimea Regain Strategy
    Crimea Regain Strategy The regain of the ARC (Autonomous Republic of Crimea) to Ukraine will commence with Ukrainian troops entering the peninsula. No referendums to confirm the mandate of Ukraine for the return of Crimea are needed because Ukraine did not recognize any illegal referendum on its separation. So, how do we approach that happy moment of restoring the territorial integrity of our country? The strategy of Ukraine should consider the following areas: - The Ukraine-Russia confrontation in the military and economic spheres with a focus on economic sanctions that must consider the humanitarian aspect; - Ukraine has to take care of preserving and enhancing a sense of social support in the Crimea and in mainland Ukraine in its endeavor to retake Crimea that should substantiate Ukraine`s claim for the peninsula besides sheer legal aspects; - Consideration and mobilization of the factors to promote and impede the return strategies in the Ukrainian domestic politics; reserving a place for the newly formed structures of the civil society (the “Maidan factor”.) - Enhancement and effective use of relationships with key external partners and allies to achieve the goals of the regain strategy. 1. The effective confrontation should be based on the strategy of “economic exhaustion” of the Kremlin and creation of the situation when keeping Crimea in the RF (Russian Federation) will prove to be economically destructive for Russia and for the Crimea itself. It is important to successfully combine national interests with foreign economic sanctions, as well as certain bans and claiming fines via international arbitrary court. Specifically, the focus sectors of the return strategy are the infrastructure, the food market, energy and the tourist business of Crimea.

First, I argue that Stalin’s deportation and exile of Crimean Tatars amounted to a bureaucratic genocide: a Soviet iteration on state violence that used inefficiency, irresponsibility, confusion, and loyalty to the system to destroy the national and class “enemies” of the Soviet Union. Second, this study emphasizes how ethnic cleansing in Crimea was extraordinary in the way Soviet power transformed Crimea after the deportations. From 1944 to 1954, this transformation created a “new Russian Crimea” through policies of mass settlement, land redistribution, and renaming geographic locations and rewriting history.
