It was the night patrol of the German organisation “Psalm – 23” who established contact with Sergei Shelaiev (12 years) and Sergei Voronin (16 years). The younger Sergei, who had an alcoholic mother and no father, died only 4 months later after a fall from the 7 th floor in a building (near Vitebskii railroad station) where he used to stay overnight in the attic. The fate of the older Sergei was equally sad. Half a year later, when searching for a place to sleep in a cellar, he was shot with a gas pistol by junkies and lost 80 percent of his sight. In 1997 he was sentenced for robbery and sent to a colony (prison). There all traces of Sergei end.

Unlike under the Soviet Union, there were open, diverse and complex debates about whether Russia should react to these conflicts, and if so, by what means. These foreign policy debates among the political elite and the ensuing policies form the subject of this thesis. The thesis asks what the dominant ideas expressed in these debates about foreign policy were, and whether they were reflected in Russia's policies towards specific military conflicts in the CIS States.

    Status Seekers Deborah Welch Larson and Chinese and Russian Responses Alexei Shevchenko to U.S

    Status Seekers Status Seekers Deborah Welch Larson and Chinese and Russian Responses Alexei Shevchenko to U.S. Primacy Since the end of the Cold War, scholars and foreign policy analysts have debated the type of world order that the United States should strive to create—a hegemonic system, a multilateral institutional system, or a great power concert.1 Initially, a major is- sue was whether attempts to maintain U.S. primacy would stimulate counter- balancing from other states.2 But since the 2003 Iraq War, a new consideration has emerged—how to persuade other states to cooperate with U.S. global gov- ernance.3 States that do not oppose efforts by the United States to maintain sta- bility may nonetheless decline to follow its leadership. This is a matter for concern because although the United States can act alone, it cannot succeed on such issues as controlling terrorism, curbing proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), rebuilding failed states, or maintaining economic stability without help from other states. Among the states whose support is critical are China and Russia. China, which in modern times has never been accorded great power status, has expe- Deborah Welch Larson is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles.

  • The Search for the Rule of Law in Russia*

    The Search for the Rule of Law in Russia*

    THE SEARCH FOR THE RULE OF LAW IN RUSSIA* JEFFREY KAHNt ABSTRACT There exists broad consensus in political science that the rule of law is as essential to a consolidated modern democracy as electoral politics or a robust civil society. Paradoxically, however, the rule of law as an institution has not been subjected to nearly the same rigorous study as those other popular variables. Although frequently used, the term is rarely defined. Political scientists declare the general importance of the rule of law, but reduce their focus to the "rules of the game" for political elites and the adoption of select laws and judicial institutions. Frequently, an instrumentalist metaphor is deployed: the law is a sword, or shield, or tool to advance democratic ends, by which the law's utility can be measured. This Article presents two related arguments against such approaches to the study of the rule of law in Russia. First, predictions about Russian democracy will be more prone to error if specialists on Russia urge the development of the rule of law but limit themselves to cramped understandings of the full parameters of this institution. Second, instrumentalist metaphors of the rule of law hinder our understanding of the importance of the rule of law for a would-be democracy like Russia. The rule of law is better understood there not as an instrument wielded by or against the state, but as a causeway. The primary value of this causeway stems from the security its existence provides citizens to move freely among state and non-state institutions in daily life, com- merce, and politics.

    Demographic Crisis: Russia's Migration Debate

    1|2012 KAS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 93 Demographic crisis: russia’s migration Debate Johann C. Fuhrmann In 2007 the governor of the Uljanovsk region declared September 12 to be a non-working day. The initiative was called “Give birth to a patriot”. The idea was that young couples should take advantage of the day off and become future parents, ideally on June 12, Russia’s most important national public holiday.1 In the end, 78 newborn babies were delivered in Uljanovsk’s hospitals on the big day.2 However, in terms of the country as a whole, these 78 Johann C.

According to recent estimates, the current population of 142 million people could drop to 100 million by the year 2050.3 The Russian state is experiencing a demographic crisis on such a scale that it poses a significant threat to the economic future and security of the country. As a result, the issue of migration has become an important item on the internal political agenda, as it is seen by many experts as key to combating population decline and a growing shortage of skilled labour.
