  • Catholic and Anti-Catholic Traditions in Russia*
    Religion, State & Society, Vol. 28, No. 1,2000 Catholic and Anti-Catholic Traditions in Russia* SERGEI FILATOV & L YUDMILA VORONTSOVA After an absence of almost 50 years, Catholicism once more exists on Russian soil. Despite the religious diversity of our society and the religious eclecticism of the majority of our contemporaries, no other religious confession appears to arouse such passionate emotions and often indeed outright hostility. Anti-Catholic intolerance cannot simply be explained in the context of a general intolerance of believers of other faiths. Russia now has Muslims, Buddhists and even Protestants, who have encountered difficulties mainly due to their missionary activity. It would seem that the phenomenon of Russian Catholicism today can be explained only if we understand the nature of the problem: what is Catholicism in the context of Russian spiritual and political culture and what does conversion to Catholicism mean to a Russian? In early years Russia was open to both Greek and Roman missionaries. At the end of the tenth century the adoption of one particular faith was not made on the basis of its dogma: the differences between Western and Eastern Christianity were simply beyond the understanding of the unsophisticated population of Ancient Rus', unversed as it was in questions of theology. The new faith was received on the basis of its cultural traditions and the attractiveness of its ceremonies. It was not so much the teaching of this faith which attracted, rather the appeal and 'beauty' of the ritual: indeed the cultural component was the determining factor in the attitude of the Russian people towards Catholicism.

  • Odnos Ruske Federacije Do Manjšin Severnega Kavkaza
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Mojca Vesić Odnos Ruske federacije do manjšin Severnega Kavkaza Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Mojca Vesić Mentor: izr. prof. dr. Miran Komac Odnos Ruske federacije do manjšin Severnega Kavkaza Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 ZAHVALA Iskrena hvala mojemu očetu in mami, da sta mi stala ob strani in me podpirala v času študija. Hvala moji mladi družinici za potrpežljivost v času nastajanja diplomske naloge. Hvala prijateljem za spodbudo ter, nenazadnje, mentorju za pomoč in razpoložljivost. Odnos Ruske federacije do manjšin Severnega Kavkaza Severni Kavkaz je stoletja predstavljal stvarno in simbolično mejo med Evropo in Azijo, med krščanskim in muslimanskim svetom. Tako ne preseneča, da gre za eno izmed etnično bolj pestrih regij tako znotraj Ruske federacije kot v svetovnem merilu. Ruski narod in etnične manjšine Severnega Kavkaza so skozi različne državne formacije povezani že dolga stoletja. Pričujoče delo raziskuje položaj manjšinskih skupnosti severnega Kavkaza v okviru Ruske federacije. Naloga vsebuje zgodovinski pregled in analizo dinamik omenjenih odnosov, ki botrujejo tudi današnjim razmeram. Bivša Sovjetska zveza je to regijo okupirala in jo ne meneč se za usodo in pravice ter etnično pripadnost tamkajšnjih prebivalcev, arbitrarno razdelila v republike. Prebivalce je razseljevala in na njihovo ozemlje naselila druge. Po razpadu Sovjetske zveze je severno-kavkaška regija postala najbolj etnično nestanovitna regija v Ruski federaciji. Današnji odnos Ruske federacije do etničnih manjšin, ki živijo na območju Severnega Kavkaza, se kaže tako preko načina in stopnje zaščite, ki jo Ruska federacija z ustavnopravnimi in drugimi zakonskimi določili zagotavlja manjšinam, živečim na njenem državnem teritoriju, kot tudi preko konkretnega udejanjanja pravnih obvez v vsakdanjem življenju pripadnikov etničnih manjšin.

  • Information for Persons Who Wish to Seek Asylum in the Russian Federation
    INFORMATION FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in the other countries asylum from persecution”. Article 14 Universal Declaration of Human Rights I. Who is a refugee? According to Article 1 of the Federal Law “On Refugees”, a refugee is: “a person who, owing to well‑founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or politi‑ cal opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country”. If you consider yourself a refugee, you should apply for Refugee Status in the Russian Federation and obtain protection from the state. If you consider that you may not meet the refugee definition or you have already been rejected for refugee status, but, nevertheless you can not re‑ turn to your country of origin for humanitarian reasons, you have the right to submit an application for Temporary Asylum status, in accordance to the Article 12 of the Federal Law “On refugees”. Humanitarian reasons may con‑ stitute the following: being subjected to tortures, arbitrary deprivation of life and freedom, and access to emergency medical assistance in case of danger‑ ous disease / illness. II. Who is responsible for determining Refugee status? The responsibility for determining refugee status and providing le‑ gal protection as well as protection against forced return to the country of origin lies with the host state. Refugee status determination in the Russian Federation is conducted by the Federal Migration Service (FMS of Russia) through its territorial branches.

Obradovica 8, Novi Sad, 21000 2University of Belgrade, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Zootechniques, 11080 Zemun, Serbia *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Original scientific paper Abstract: Possible differences between composition of raw milk due to dairy farming system (organic vs conventional) as well as seasonal variations were investigated. The samples were analysed during one year. A total of 6.782 samples of raw milk were collected (4.496 from organic farming). Dairy farms were located in the northern part of Republic of Serbia (Province of Vojvodina). The principle of analysis of raw milk samples was in accordance with the methodology by mid- infrared spectrometry and flow cytometry. The fixed effect of system of farming and season (winter, spring, summer and fall) have shown a high statistical significance (P < 0.01) on all examined milk parameters except fat, total solids and somatic cell count, where the impact was slightly lower (P < 0.05). Significant difference wasn't found in number of bacterial colonies (P > 0.05). Composition of milk is also affected by a number of other factors, therefore it is recommended to involve factors such as nutrition of dairy cows, breed and farm management.
