The collection includes a wealth of biographical material related to Sini͡avskiĭ's family and childhood, found in the series related to his parents, Donat Sini͡avskiĭ and Evdokiia-Torkhova-Siniavskaia. Of special interest are the diaries of his mother, which include descriptions of his childhood and childhood drawings. The biographical file further includes documentary material related to the trial of Andrei Sini͡avskiĭ and Iulii Daniel, as well as reports in the Western press about his arrest, trial, and exile to France. A major part of the collection consists of Sini͡avskiĭ's scholarly work and creative writing, found in the speeches and writings series, including preparatory material, drafts and printed copies of writings on scholarly, political and cultural subjects, as well as creative writing under the pseudonym of Abram Terts.

  • INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Russian Federation – Presidential Election, 18 March 2018
    INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Russian Federation – Presidential Election, 18 March 2018 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS The 18 March presidential election took place in an overly controlled legal and political environment marked by continued pressure on critical voices, while the Central Election Commission (CEC) administered the election efficiently and openly. After intense efforts to promote turnout, citizens voted in significant numbers, yet restrictions on the fundamental freedoms of assembly, association and expression, as well as on candidate registration, have limited the space for political engagement and resulted in a lack of genuine competition. While candidates could generally campaign freely, the extensive and uncritical coverage of the incumbent as president in most media resulted in an uneven playing field. Overall, election day was conducted in an orderly manner despite shortcomings related to vote secrecy and transparency of counting. Eight candidates, one woman and seven men, stood in this election, including the incumbent president, as self-nominated, and others fielded by political parties. Positively, recent amendments significantly reduced the number of supporting signatures required for candidate registration. Seventeen prospective candidates were rejected by the CEC, and six of them challenged the CEC decisions unsuccessfully in the Supreme Court. Remaining legal restrictions on candidates rights are contrary to OSCE commitments and other international standards, and limit the inclusiveness of the candidate registration process. Most candidates publicly expressed their certainty that the incumbent president would prevail in the election. With many of the candidates themselves stating that they did not expect to win, the election lacked genuine competition. Thus, efforts to increase the turnout predominated over the campaign of the contestants.

  • The Vexing Case of Igor Shafarevich, a Russian Political Thinker
    birkhauser-science.de Mathematics : Mathematics in the Humanities and Social Sciences Berglund, Krista The Vexing Case of Igor Shafarevich, a Russian Political Thinker In the 1990s “the Shafarevich case” stirred a heated discussion in the mathematics community about a fundamental ethical principle: Can scientific honorary societies make demands to their members concerning their non- scientific views? Another obvious problem becomes topical with the present study and concerns the ethical repercussions of the fact that Shafarevich was demonized without reasonable justification This study, written by a historian of ideas and a specialist of Russian studies, Birkhäuser also introduces Shafarevich’s companionships with some of the most 2012, XIV, 542 p. interesting cultural figures of the Soviet Union in his youth, his extensive 1st activities for defense of human rights and struggle against communist edition propaganda in This is the first comprehensive study about the non-mathematical writings and activities of the Russian algebraic geometer and number theorist Igor Shafarevich (b. 1923). In the 1970s Printed book Shafarevich was a prominent member of the dissidents’ human rights movement and a noted Hardcover author of clandestine anti-communist literature in the Soviet Union. Shafarevich’s public image Printed book suffered a terrible blow around 1989 when he was decried as a dangerous ideologue of anti- Hardcover Semitism due to his newly-surfaced old manuscript Russophobia. The scandal culminated ISBN 978-3-0348-0214-7 when the President of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States suggested that $ 149,99 Shafarevich, an honorary member, resign.

Soviet-US Relations. STARTING THE DAY (Voznesenskaya, M 5) recalled the case of American schoolgirl Samantha Smith, who was invited to the USSR after having written a letter to the Kremlin asking why the Soviet leaders were threatening the world with war and who was killed last August in an air crash. The program spoke of a propaganda maneuver by the USSR, and said that while she might have been a source of irritation upon returning home, like other pacifists in the West she was not subjected to any persecution, in contrast to pacifists in such countries as the USSR and the GDR. Commenting on an article in Pionengmya Pravda suggesting that the air crash could have been the work of "enemies" who saw Samantha Smith as an "agent of Moscow," the program said the international declaration of children's rights describes instilling in children a hatred of other peoples as a crime and cited the Bible that those whom miskod children should have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea. 2. Dissidents and Human Rights.

  • 2011 Parliamentary
    INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION Russian Federation, State Duma Elections – 4 December 2011 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Moscow, 5 December 2011 - This Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions is the result of a common endeavour involving the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR), the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). Petros Efthymiou (Greece), Head of the OSCE PA Delegation, was appointed by the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office as Special Co-ordinator to lead the short term observer mission. Tiny Kox (Netherlands) headed the PACE delegation. Heidi Tagliavini (Switzerland) is the Head of the OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission (EOM). This assessment was made to determine whether these elections complied with OSCE commitments and Council of Europe standards, as well as with national legislation. In many regions of the country, regional and local elections were held concurrently with the parliamentary elections and were observed only to the extent that they may have impacted the conduct of the latter. This statement of preliminary findings and conclusions is delivered prior to the completion of the electoral process. The final assessment of the elections will depend, in part, on the conduct of the remaining stages of the election process; in particular, the tabulation and announcement of results, and the handling of possible post-election day complaints and appeals. The OSCE/ODIHR will issue a comprehensive final report, including recommendations for potential improvements, some eight weeks after the completion of the election process. The OSCE PA will present its report at its 2012 winter meeting.

  • 2018 World Cup in Russia 2018 World Cup in Russia
    Handbook For journalists covering the 2018 World Cup in Russia 2018 World Cup in Russia Editorial The other side of the World Cup in Russia When someone says that sport and politics are not affiliated, there is reason to be on guard. Among those who mention this lack of affiliation is the FIFA president, Gianni Infantino. Another is Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Bjørn Engesland Norwegian Helsinki Committee It would be nice if sport took place in a secluded world, where power, conflict, money, cheating and crimes were non-existent. But history does not support such a perspective. During the Peloponnesian war, Sparta was expelled from the Olympics because the host city was in an alliance with the Spartans’ enemy, Athens. This happened in 424 BC. Little has changed since – politics and sports are still closely John Peder Egenæs connected. Amnesty International Norway Ask yourself why FIFA and Putin refuse to acknowledge this fact. The purpose of this manual is not to destroy enthusiasm about the world’s biggest sporting event, but to provide background, much of which is well-known to most. In addition, we give concrete tips about people and organisations who can come in handy for journalists looking for independent, local sources. Silje Ask Lundberg Naturvernforbundet Independent Russian activists and journalists operate at a risk, but at the same time they remain professional. In fact, cooperation with local journalists contributed to the Norwegian football magazine Josimar’s disclosure of slavery at the Zenit Arena in St. Petersburg. The expose gained great attention worldwide. The topics we are highlighting – such as human rights, corruption, racism, Gaute Eiterjord propaganda, environmental issues and persecution of LGBTIs (lesbian, gay, bisexual, Natur og Ungdom trans- and intersex persons) – make up some of the context surrounding the World Cup in Russia.

The new issue unfolds the post-Soviet story of Russian mathematics — one of the most prominent academic fields. We invited the authors who could not only present the post-Soviet story of Russian math but also those who have made a contribution to its glory. The issue is structured into three parts. The first part gives a picture of mathematical education in the Soviet Union and modern Russia with reflections on the paths and reasons for its success. Two papers in the second section are devoted to the impact of mathematics in terms of scientific metrics and career prospects.
