To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007).

    briefing paper page 1 The Means and Ends of Russian Influence Abroad Series Russian Responses to NATO and EU Enlargement and Outreach James Greene Russia and Eurasia Programme | June 2012 | REP RSP BP 2012/02 Summary points zz Post-Soviet Russia’s adamant resistance to NATO and EU enlargement and outreach in its claimed sphere of influence has been driven not only by zero- sum thinking and ‘great power’ ambitions, but also by the political and economic imperatives of the Putin system. zz Under Vladimir Putin, this resistance has evolved away from open opposition to rely more on indirect efforts to shape Western perceptions and leverage common interests with Western countries and constituencies. Putin has also used indirect means to promote reintegration of the post-Soviet space and the development of a ‘civilizational’ buffer zone to insulate this space from Western influence. zz This indirect approach has relied on ‘influence tools’ that include the capture of local elites through corruption, the use of networks of economic patronage and dependency, the instrumentalization of cultural identity, and the mobilization of latent Soviet-nostalgic constituencies and post-Soviet business elites. zz If the West is to protect its interests and rebuild its influence in Eastern Europe it must invest more effort in understanding the nature and practical application of Russia’s ‘influence tools’. It must also adapt its own ‘soft power’ toolkit and political vision to re-establish their relevance to the region’s publics and elites. www.chathamhouse.org Russian Responses to NATO and EU Enlargement and Outreach page 2 Introduction that offered €3.8 billion in credits in return for holding free For Vladimir Putin the February 2010 inauguration of and fair elections – choosing instead a last-minute oil deal Victor Yanukovych as president of Ukraine was undoubt- with Russia and a bloody post-election crackdown that ended edly a moment of personal satisfaction.

    EUROPEAN REGIONAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION 2003 CONGRESS Usage of experience of development of territories with similar socio-economic characteristics taken as a whole as an instrument of Kronshtadt sustainable development Maria Kozyreva Council for the Study of Productive Forces Saint-Petersburg, Russia, tel.: + 7 812 919 0545, fax: + 7 812 301 3137 E-mail: [email protected] Creating sustainable economic development is the crucially important task for the regions with military based economies which have lost their significance as defence locations due to changes in international relations. The town of Kronshtadt, Russian historic naval dockyard town, is an ideal example of such a region. The town is going through troubled time at the moment, facing a lot of social, economic and environmental problems. This article analyzes the economies of other territories that have experienced similar socio-economic conditions and problems facing economic development in order to assist in solving the problems of Kronshtadt. The following is a list of territories that face similar socio-economic problems as Kronshtadt: Chatham and Portsmouth in Great Britain, the city - fortress Suomenlinna in Finland and Karlskrona in Sweden. Experience of their transformation from the towns with a traditional naval image to modern, dynamic centers attracting visitors, investors and high profile companies is worthy of careful studying. The article introduces lessons for Kronshtadt in the field of strategic priorities formulation, planning control, site regeneration management, tourism development, and regeneration project funding. Introduction In today’s world, many regions face the crucially important task of creating sustainable economic development. This task is of particular importance for regions with military based economies which have lost their significance as defence locations due to changes in international relations.

The sculptor is I. Makarova, who also made the monument to the Tsar’s family in the Seraphim- Diveevo monastery. Opening is planned on 17 July 2020. Bishop of Vyksa and Pavlovsky Barnabas blessed the construction of an equestrian monument to the Tsar Martyr Nicholas II. It is planned to install this monument in Kulebaki, city, next to the Church of the Holy Martyr Michael (Gusev), located on Admiral Makarov Street. The cost of the project is 5 million roubles. To date, only 1 million has been paid. Work is underway, a metal frame is made. The initiators are inspired by the famous dictum of the old man Nikolai Guryanov - “The reason for the spiritual illness of Russia is the conciliar sin of treason against the Tsar of the Romanov family, and no repentance in the hearts. We lost the pure, strengthening grace that poured out on the sacred head of the Anointed One, and through it poured out on all Russia. Rejecting the Tsar, we raised a hand to everything holy and to the Lord. Without true repentance, there is no true glorification of the Tsar. There must be spiritual awareness.” Archpriest Nikolai Boldyrev, rector of the church, spoke about the Orthodox initiative in an interview to Kulebaksky metalworker newspaper. “The reason for our troubles is the violation of the Cathedral Oath of 1613.
