Red Mint Bitkin 797 1+ 30 000 Peter the Great (ruled 1682–1725) and the first decimal coinage The reign of Peter I (the Great) is generally regarded as a watershed in Russian history, noted for a programme of extensive military, civil and social reforms that transformed Russia from an isolated agricultural society into a major European power. Early in his career, Peter toured Europe (sometimes in disguise) and educated himself in Western culture and science, as well as naval and military techniques. On his return to Russia he set about ‘modernizing’ or ‘westernizing’ the country, as well as extending its boundaries through a number of military campaigns. In 1703, during the Great Northern War with Sweden, Peter captured land on the Baltic Sea, where he founded his new capital, St Petersburg. This modern city, built in Western style, was intended to become the centre of new Russia just as Moscow had been the centre of old. The monetary system of Russia also changed dramatically as part of Peter the Great’s extensive reforms. In 1700 the czar decreed a decimal coinage system for Russia – the first in history – with 100 kopeks equal to one rouble. The first (copper) kopek and (silver) rouble coins under the new system appeared in 1704. As well as introducing a decimal coinage, Peter I also banned the use of foreign coins in Russia. Moreover, in order to ensure a standard size and weight for the new Russian coins, the czar ordered that coins should no longer be minted by hand, but should be machine-struck.

The purpose of this article is to present the geographic analysis of current spatial structure of the road transportation in Belarus in 2000-2014. The choice of transport mode for the article was influenced by several factors, such as historic devel- opment, network coverage, transformational changes in productivity, rapid increase in car ownership numbers, emergence of logistic centers and intelligent transportation systems. The article reviews the range of topics, including morphology of the major roads network, logistic centers spatial distribution and regional features of passenger and cargo productivity, discusses current transformational changes within the road transportation sector in Belarus. The key findings indicate that current changes in spatial structure of the road transportation in Belarus have uneven nature, shaped by social, economic, political and geopolitical external and internal factors and are a subject of interest for both transportation researchers and practitioners.

    Human Rights Centre “Viasna” SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS in BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Minsk, 2015 SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Author and compiler: Tatsiana Reviaka Editor and author of the foreword: Valiantsin Stefanovich The edition was prepared on the basis of reviews of human rights violations in Belarus published every month in 2014. Each of the monthly reviews includes an analysis of the most important events infl uencing the observance of human rights and outlines the most eloquent and characteristic facts of human rights abuses registered over the described period. The review was prepared on the basis of personal appeals of victims of human rights abuses and the facts which were either registered by human rights activists or reported by open informational sources. The book features photos from the archive of the Human Rights Center “Viasna”, as well as from publications on the websites of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty Belarus service, the Nasha Niva newspaper, tv.lrytas.lt, baj.by, gazetaby.com, and taken by Franak Viachorka and Siarhei Hudzilin. Human Rights Situation in 2014: Trends and Evaluation The situation of human rights during 2014 remained consistently poor with a tendency to deterioration at the end of the year. Human rights violations were of both systemic and systematic nature: basic civil and political rights were extremely restricted, there were no systemic changes in the fi eld of human rights (at the legislative level and (or) at the level of practices). The only positive development during the year was the early release of Ales Bialiatski, Chairman of the Human Rights Centre “Viasna” and Vice-President of the International Federation for Human Rights.
