    Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper)

    Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper) Authors: Kateryna Handzyuk, Serhiy Nikitenko JULY, 2017 Abstract The local elections in Ukraine conducted in October 2015 under a new law caused a number of problems and quite distorted the representation balance. In addition, the innovations introduced by the Law on the Status of Local Council Members into the council members recall procedure and mechanism based on the people’s initiative instigated tensions and conflicts on the ground. By analysing the modern Ukrainian practices, the authors propose the way out of the current complicated situation through amendment of the legislation and development of efficient instruments to regulate the representation problem with one of the proposals being assignment of each local council member to a certain constituency and making them accountable to its voters.

    THE POLITICAL SYSTEM – CHANGES DURING the ELECTION CAMPAIGNS the Search for a New Political Model

    Part 1. THE POLITICAL SYSTEM – CHANGES DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGNS The search for a new political model. Putin as the national leader – a change in status and a possible change in the configuration of the political system. A change in the weight of different political institutions All of 2007 was characterized by the competition between two projects that can conditionally be called “successor” and “third term”. At that, supporters and opponents of the latter scheme belonged to different groups among the elites, which added a distinctive sharpness to the situation and this manifested itself not only in an ideological but also an administrative confrontation. The search for a place for Vladimir Putin in the “post-Putin” system of checks and balances started after the 1st of October when he agreed to head the United Russia party list. Before this, in spite of many statements by the head of state himself about his unwillingness to go against the Constitution and run for president for a third term, projects that entailed changing the Constitution predominated. The main lobbyists for the “third term” project were the so called “siloviki” or the security wing of the presidential administration that were headed by deputy head of the presidential administration, Igor Sechin. In the media, the main voice on this topic was the head of the Federation Council and leader of the party Fair Russia Sergey Mironov. This politician is considered to be in the orbit of this group of elites. Nevertheless, his wavering to meet the “party line” was evident. In particular, at the end of March in 2007, he increased his activity in this direction1.

    Ukraine Local Elections, 25 October 2015

    ELECTION OBSERVATION DELEGATION TO THE LOCAL ELECTIONS IN UKRAINE (25 October 2015) Report by Andrej PLENKOVIĆ, ChaIr of the Delegation Annexes: A - List of Participants B - EP Delegation press statement C - IEOM Preliminary Findings and Conclusions on 1st round and on 2nd round 1 IntroductIon On 10 September 2015, the Conference of Presidents authorised the sending of an Election Observation Delegation, composed of 7 members, to observe the local elections in Ukraine scheduled for 25 October 2015. The Election Observation Delegation was composed of Andrej Plenkovič (EPP, Croatia), Anna Maria Corazza Bildt (EPP, Sweden), Tonino Picula (S&D, Croatia), Clare Moody (S&D, United Kingdom), Jussi Halla-aho (ECR, Finland), Kaja Kallas (ALDE, Estonia) and Miloslav Ransdorf (GUE, Czech Republic). It conducted its activities in Ukraine between 23 and 26 October, and was integrated in the International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) organised by ODIHR, together with the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. On election-day, members were deployed in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk. Programme of the DelegatIon In the framework of the International Election Observation Mission, the EP Delegation cooperated with the Delegation of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, headed by Ms Gudrun Mosler-Törnström (Austria), while the OSCE/ODIHR long-term Election Observation Mission headed by Tana de Zulueta (Italy). The cooperation with the OSCE/ODIHR and the Congress went as usual and a compromise on the joint statement was reached (see annex B). Due to the fact that only two parliamentary delegations were present to observe the local elections, and had rather different expectations as regards meetings to be organised, it was agreed between all parties to limit the joint programme to a briefing by the core team of the OSCE/ODIHR.

    Archaeological Investigations of the Hermitage Expedition on Berezan Island in 2005

    Hyperboreus Vol.11 (2005) Fasc.2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE HERMITAGE EXPEDITION ON BEREZAN ISLAND IN 2005 Borysthenes, an ancient Greek settlement on the Island of Berezan in the estuary of the Dnieper and South Bug rivers, is one of the key sites in the classical archaeology of the northern Black Sea littoral. According to the evidence of Eusebius, the earliest Greek colony in the region was established in 647/646 BC by settlers from Miletus (though no cultural layers or structures dated to a period earlier than the last quarter of the 7th century BC have been ever uncovered within this territory). The history of archaeological investigations of the settlement of Be- rezan goes back to the end of the 19th century. They began with excava- tions conducted by R. A. Prendel, member of the Odessa Society of History and Antiquities. Afterwards, B. V. Farmakovsky (1896), G. L. Skadovsky (1900–1901), E. R. von Stern (1903–1909, 1913) and the latter’s student M. F. Boltenko (1924, 1927–1931, 1946–1947) participated, among others, in the excavations at the settlement and its necropolis. Investigations on the island were resumed in 1960 by the Ukrainian archaeologist V. V. La- pin, who has worked for two decades at the Berezan settlement-site. After his death, the Ukrainian expedition was headed by S. N. Mazarati and V. V. Nazarov, and at present by V. V. Krutilov. From 1962, the Russian ex- pedition of the State Hermitage Museum took part in the investigations on Berezan Island under the direction of K. S. Gorbunova, L.

    Axon e-ISSN 2532-6848 Vol. 2 – Num. 2 – Dicembre 2018 Lettera su laminetta plumbea da Berezan [ 294 ] Giovanni Boffa (Università del Salento, Italia) Riassunto La lettera su laminetta plumbea da Berezan, oltre a costituire una testimonianza im- portante in relazione ad un ampio spettro di questioni epigrafiche (la scrittura su lamine di piombo in primis, ovviamente) e storico-culturali (caratteri e modalità della presenza greca, e segnatamente milesia, in aree ‘di frontiera’ come le coste della Scizia; il dialetto ionico; la diffusione della scrit- tura in tali aree e il suo rapporto con il mondo dei traffici e del commercio; i caratteri della prosa greca arcaica; l’epistola nel mondo greco; il lessico della marineria e del commercio; le norme che regolavano il diritto di sequestro e l’istituto giuridico della syle), ci rappresenta, con immediatezza, una situazione di ‘vita vissuta’ tanto drammatica quanto coinvolgente che non manca di suscitare empatia nel lettore, il che, del resto, probabilmente costituiva lo scopo dell’accorato appello che, con una prosa semplice ma ordinata, Achillodoro, vessato da Matasys, rivolgeva ai suoi destinatari, il figlio Protagora e Anassagora. Abstract The Berezan lead letter is a document of paramount importance with regard to several epigraphic questions (first of all, the writing on lead platters) and to many historical issues too (the Greek presence, mainly Milesian, within ancient Scythia and the diffusion of writing in this area; the ionic dialect; the relationship between literacy and commerce; archaic Greek prose; Greek epistolog- raphy; the right of seizure and the regulation of syle); moreover, it is a human life story that vividly shows us the dramatic situation of Achillodoros who, harassed by Matasys, sends a heartfelt letter to two recipients, his son Protagoras and Anaxagoras.
  • Memory Set in Stone: Another Look at the Berezan Runic Inscription

    Memory Set in Stone: Another Look at the Berezan Runic Inscription

    Memory Set in Stone: Another Look at the Berezan Runic Inscription Alla Kurzenkova Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University, Department of History 3 Scandinavian runic inscriptions constitute unique and reliable historical sources. Each Scandinavian runic stone tells a story. When someone encounters a runestone, they don’t just observe it. The runic inscription on the stone makes them feel part of the life experience of the deceased. The Berezan Scandinavian runic stone from the Viking age is evidence of the Viking trade and a micro-narrative about the Viking age landscape. The text on the stone is understood as common topos for the development of cultural experience. It highlights the human lives, activities, and cultural environment that influenced the existence of the stone. From the topography of the lands that the Scandinavians encountered during their trading expeditions, runic stones gradually filled the landscape with descriptions of human experience. Scandinavian runic inscriptions still visible today identify the location of past history in the given landscape and link the past and present with real evidence of Scandinavian activity. The definition of a runic stone can be formulated as a memorial object specially carved and erected at mnemonic multidimensional points. Runic inscriptions are placed on its surface, materializing communicative actions and consolidating mutual obligations of those who commissioned them. The reference to the Berezan runic inscription highlights Viking activity of the past that has not yet been sufficiently interpreted. In this way, the inscription demonstrates the limits of modern attempts at establishing facts. At the same time, there are enough reasons to research the Berezan runestone along the Eastern way as this runestone appears to be the only one in the Eastern European landscape.

After all, the oblast consists of 9 single-member districts that translate in 9 seats at the national parliament. When compared with 17 seats allocated to Dnipropetrovsk oblast, 13 – to Kharkiv, 12 to Donetsk, or Lviv oblast, and 11 to Odessa oblast, this does not look impressive. The power struggle in Kyiv oblast might seem of limited strategic importance. Such a conclusion is, however, erroneous as Kyiv oblast has several distinctive features, which makes it central in power competition and power distribution after each election. Firstly, the oblast is adjacent to the ultimate powerhouse of national politics, the city of Kyiv. The nine above-mentioned electoral districts comprise regional town areas which encircle the capital, set its administrative boundaries, contain its growth, limit the city’s capabilities to manage logistics and to provide infrastructural services. In fact, the lack of capacities forced the mayor of Kyiv to initiate the program to create a “Kyiv metropolitan area” which should bring closer housing, transportation, and administration across the city of Kyiv and the oblast emulating the Metropolis of Greater Paris.
