  • Perception of Local Geographical Specificity by the Population of Podolia
    88 ЕКОНОМІЧНА ТА СОЦІАЛЬНА ГЕОГРАФІЯ PERCEPTION OF LOCAL GEOGRAPHICAL SPECIFICITY BY THE POPULATION OF PODOLIA Oleksiy GNATIUK Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine [email protected] Abstract: The article reveals the perception of local geographical specificity by the population of Podolia. Attention is focused on five elements of the local geographical specificity: natural, historical and cultural monuments; prominent personalities; trademarks and producers of goods and services; the origin settlement names; figurative poetic names of settlements. The tasks were the following: to determine basic qualitative and quantitative parameters of regional image-geographical systems, to find the main regularities of their spatial organization, and, finally, to classify administrative-territorial units of the region according to the basic properties of image-geographic systems using specially worked out method. Analysis made it clear that the population of Podolia is characterized by a high level of reflection of the local geographic specificity. Local image-geographical systems from different parts of the region have different structure and level of development. In particular, image-geographical systems in Vinnytsia and Ternopil oblasts are well developed, stable and hierarchized, in Khmelnitskyi oblast it is just developing, dynamic and so quite unstable. To further disclosure the regularities and patterns of local geographical specificity perception, it is advisable to carry out case studies of image-geographic systems at the level of individual settlements. Key words: territorial identity, local geographical specificity, geographic image UDC: 911.3 СПРИЙНЯТТЯ МІСЦЕВОЇ ГЕОГРАФІЧНОЇ СПЕЦИФІКИ НАСЕЛЕННЯМ ПОДІЛЛЯ Олексій ГНАТЮК Київський національний університет імені Тараса Шевченка, Україна [email protected] Анотація: У статті розглянуто сприйняття місцевої географічної специфіки населенням Подільського регіону.

    Resilient Ukraine: Safeguarding Society from Russian Aggression Russian from Society Ukraine: Safeguarding Resilient Research Paper Mathieu Boulègue and Orysia Lutsevych Ukraine Forum | June 2020 Resilient Ukraine Safeguarding Society from Russian Aggression Mathieu Boulègue and OrysiaLutsevych Chatham House Contents Summary 2 1 Introduction 3 2 The Impact of the Armed Conflict 13 3 Creating Resilience Dividends: Case Studies 27 4 Recommendations 33 5 Conclusion 37 About the Authors 38 Acknowledgments 39 1 | Chatham House Resilient Ukraine: Safeguarding Society from Russian Aggression Summary • Despite military conflict and an increasingly adversarial relationship with Russia, Ukraine has largely maintained its democratic reforms thanks to its resilience and determination to decide its own future. The country is gradually developing the capacity of its state institutions and civil society to address the political and social consequences of Russian aggression. • Russia’s three main levers of influence in Ukraine include the ongoing armed conflict, corruption, and the poor quality of the political sphere. The Kremlin seeks to exploit these vulnerabilities to promote polarization and encourage a clash between Ukraine’s citizens and its governing elite by taking military action, manipulating the corruption narrative, supporting pro-Russia parties, and fuelling religious tensions through the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). • The ramifications of the military operation in Donbas reverberate strongly across the country and domestic politics. The most prominent spillover effects include the circulation of firearms and the weakened capacity of authorities to reintegrate internally displaced people (IDPs) and war veterans. • With no clear way to end the armed conflict, there is a growing risk of societal polarization. This could have negative consequences for any prospective peace agreement.

  • Regional Fish-Based Biostratigraphy of the Late Neogene and Pleistocene of Southeastern Europe
    Vestnik zoologii, 51(5): 375–392, 2017 DOI 10.1515/vzoo-2017-0045 UDC 551.7(82+9):567.5(47) REGIONAL FISH-BASED BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATE NEOGENE AND PLEISTOCENE OF SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE О. М. Kovalchuk National Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine, B. Khmelnitsky st., 15, Kyiv, 01030 Ukraine E-mail: [email protected] Regional Fish-Based Biostratigraphy of the Late Neogene and Pleistocene of Southeastern Europe. Kovalchuk, О. М. — Th is paper presents analytical results of the study of numerous freshwater fi sh fossils from almost 40 localities in the territory of southeastern Europe. It has been established that freshwater fi shes can be regarded as parastratigraphic group suitable for biostratigraphic studies. Ten ichthyofaunal assemblages have been distinguished and characterized in the paper. Th ese assemblages represent successive developmental stages in freshwater fi sh communities within southeastern Europe during the late Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene. Indices of evolutionary transformations (extinction rate, origination rate, taxonomic rotation) for ichthyofaunal assemblages have been calculated, and their trend is discussed herein. Key words: freshwater fi shes, faunal assemblage, evolution, Cenozoic, Eastern Europe. Introduction Th e modern zoogeographical structure of freshwater ichthyofauna of the Northern hemisphere was formed in general terms during the late Cenozoic (Sytchevskaya, 1989). Restoration of the key stages and features of this process is impossible without a detailed study of numerous fossil remains of bony fi shes, originating from alluvial deposits of heterochronous localities. Th e historical and faunal analysis of paleoichthyological material from the south of Eastern Europe allows us tracing the temporal change in the groups of freshwater fi sh, to determine the time of appearance of individual modern taxa and their groups in the paleontological record, to fi nd out the centers of their origin and ways of distribution, as well as to indicate some regional features of the formation of their ranges in time.
