This conference has been held with the financial assistance of INTAS 2005 Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University, Ukraine 2 PREFACE The organizing committee extends a cordial invitation to participate in International conference on Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Analysis (AC&CA-05) which is hold in scenic city of Kyiv, Ukraine, from September 12 to 18, 2005. This conference belongs to the series of Ukrainian conferences in analytical chemistry established in 1970th by Ukrainian chemical society and chemical division of Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. AC&CA-05 is a 7th conference in analytical chemistry in Ukraine and it is dedicated to the centenary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist, Anatoly K. Babko for his expertise in analytical chemistry and in the chemistry of complex compounds. The current conference is organised by Analytical Scientific Council at Academy of Sciences of Ukraine under collaboration with European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS) and sponsored by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and by the International Association for the Promotion of Co-operation with Scientists from the New Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (INTAS). Main goals of the conference are to survey a status of modern analytical science in Ukraine against the global one, to renew international collaboration of Ukrainian analytical chemists and educators, and to approach positions of scientists and analytical engineers. The idea of the conference is to demonstrate renaissance of science and analytical practice in Ukraine after it gained independence. Organizing committee meets great help and gets support for realisation of this idea from many international bodies, such as chemical societies of Russia, Japan, Austria, Germany and Great Britain, as well as from scientific web portals: SpectroscopyNOW, ChemWeb.com, etc. As a result of such support AC&CA-05 have about 450 participants from 31 countries. This provided an excellent opportunity for young Ukrainian researchers, teachers and students, and for scientists from neighbouring countries, to meet the representatives of international scientific community and to re-establish links with their European colleagues and thus initiate new collaborative work. All main aspects of analytical and bioanalytical sciences is covered by the conference program. AC&CA-05 consists of 12 invited lectures and seven symposia: General Aspects of Analytical Chemistry, Analytical Methods, Objects of the Analysis, Sensors and Tests, Separation and Pre-concentration, Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, History and Methodology of Analytical Chemistry. Conference program includes two special symposia: Memorial one, dedicated to Anatoly Babko and Analytical Russian-Germany-Ukrainian symposium (ARGUS-9). It is great that AC&CA-05 took place in 2005. This year Ukraine demonstrates Eurointegration policy and we are in the vanguard of this process. In 2004 Analytical Chemistry Council NAS of Ukraine becomes a member of European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences. AC&CA-05 is the next step towards Eurointegration of Ukrainian analytical science. The first steps are always hard to make. We tried to do our best … Thanks all participants for coming to AC&CA-05.

Babko for his expertise in analytical chemistry and in the chemistry of complex compounds. The scientific work of Anatoly K. Babko was conducted mainly at the Kyiv State University where he chaired the Department of Analytical Chemistry as from 1944 to 1960, after when during 1960 to 1968 he retained the title of Professor. His scientific duties were performed primarily at the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, where he headed the Department of Analytical Chemistry from 1941 to 1968. The scientific interests of Anatoly K. Babko ranged widely, especially in regard to fundamental aspects of analytical chemistry, applications of organic reagents in inorganic analysis, chemistry of complex compounds (including heteropolyacids), analytical applications of complex compounds in photometry, luminescence and chemiluminescence, ion chromatography, and liquid-liquid extraction. A significant achievement of Anatoly K. Babko was in the area of systematic physicochemical research of complex compounds in solution based on their photometric properties. Anatoly K. Babko showed the stability constants of complexes to be highly important, and demonstrated the relevance of the step- wise character of the dissociation of complex compounds. In developing theoretical problems he always thought about practical uses of results in the national economy. His theoretical and experimental results were applied to developing numerous methods of analytical determination of elements in complex

A HISTORICAL AND CONCEPTUAL STUDY Dissertation by ALEXEY KURAEV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2014 © Copyright by Alexey Kuraev 2014 Abstract Internationalization of Higher Education in Russia: Collapse or Perpetuation of the Soviet System? A Historical and Conceptual Study Alexey Kuraev - author Philip Altbach - dissertation director This study traces the policy and implementation of internationalization in the Russian higher education system from 1917 to the present. The analysis suggests that international academic policy has been applied by the Russian state continuously, though with radically differing emphasis and mechanisms, through the last hundred years. Chapter One presents the research questions, design and methodology of the study. Chapter Two reviews scholarly literature related to academic internationalization and situates this definition within the context of Russian higher education. Chapters 3-5 explore the role of international activities in Russian higher education during the seventy years of the Soviet era. Trends in Soviet academic international policy related to three major historical periods are discussed in this section: a) the initial Bolshevik program for global academic reform; b) Sovietization of higher education in the countries of Communist Bloc; and c) East-West international academic competition during the Cold War period.

  • Russian Nationalism
    Russian Nationalism This book, by one of the foremost authorities on the subject, explores the complex nature of Russian nationalism. It examines nationalism as a multi­ layered and multifaceted repertoire displayed by a myriad of actors. It considers nationalism as various concepts and ideas emphasizing Russia’s distinctive national character, based on the country’s geography, history, Orthodoxy, and Soviet technological advances. It analyzes the ideologies of Russia’s ultra­ nationalist and far-right groups, explores the use of nationalism in the conflict with Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, and discusses how Putin’s political opponents, including Alexei Navalny, make use of nationalism. Overall the book provides a rich analysis of a key force which is profoundly affecting political and societal developments both inside Russia and beyond.

    THE EVOLUTION OF RUSSIA’S GREAT POWER DISCOURSE: A CONCEPTUAL HISTORY OF VELIKAYA DERZHAVA By Anatoly Reshetnikov Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations Word count: 88,828 In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Dr Alexander Astrov Budapest, Hungary 2018 COPYRIGHT NOTICE I hereby declare that this thesis contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Anatoly Reshetnikov Budapest, 25 September 2018 CEU eTD Collection i ABSTRACT Today, Russia is yet again talking about being a great power. Such rhetoric emerges in almost every programmatic text written by Russian politicians, as well as in every forecast and policy analysis prepared by Russian state-affiliated think-tanks. Most western observers perceive this as a question of foreign policy and treat Russia’s claims with suspicion. At a closer look, however, it becomes evident that, instead of having an exclusive connection to foreign policy, Russia’s great power discourse is self-centered, defensive, ideological, and relates equally, if not more, to the causes of Russian domestic consolidation and catch up development. In this study, I argue that the origins of this inherent ambivalence and specific functions of Russia’s great power discourse should be sought in the conceptual evolution of velikaya derzhava, a Russian political concept that is usually translated as ‘great power’. In its current shape, velikaya derzhava is a product of both the evolution of local political culture, and Russia’s discursive encounters with external political environment, the most consequential of which was Russia’s lengthy and troubled integration into the European society of states in the XVIII and the XIX centuries.

    Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Jim Nichol, Coordinator Specialist in Russian and Eurasian Affairs June 7, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33407 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Summary Russia made some uneven progress in democratization during the 1990s, but according to many observers, this limited progress was reversed after Vladimir Putin rose to power in 1999-2000. During this period, the State Duma (lower legislative chamber) came to be dominated by government-approved parties and opposition democratic parties were excluded. Putin also abolished gubernatorial elections and established government ownership or control over major media and industries, including the energy sector. The methods used by the Putin government to suppress insurgency in the North Caucasus demonstrated a low regard for the rule of law and human rights, according to critics. Dmitriy Medvedev, Vladimir Putin’s chosen successor and long-time protégé, was elected president in early 2008 and immediately designated Putin as prime minister. President Medvedev continued Putin’s policies. In August 2008, the Medvedev-Putin “tandem” directed wide-scale military operations against Georgia and unilaterally recognized the independence of Georgia’s separatist South Ossetia and Abkhazia, actions denounced by most of the international community. In late 2011, Putin announced that he and Medvedev had decided that Putin would return to the presidency and that Medvedev would become his prime minister. At the March 2012 presidential election, Putin was reelected by a wide margin. The day after Putin’s inauguration on May 7, 2012, the legislature confirmed Medvedev as prime minister.
