The “overall vulnerability index” below Healthcare expenditure shows the average score of each hromada across all Unemployment categories (all weighted equally); and determines the ECONOMIC Indebtedness VULNERABILITY colour of the hromada tile. For instance, Level of income Staromlynivka was found to be the most vulnerable Education hromada across all category while Bakhmut was the Waste management Sewage management least vulnerable.

Despite their significant numbers, however, these Ukrainians remain largely unknown to the international community, receiving none of the attention that has been accorded, for example, to Russian minorities in the successor states to the former Soviet Union. According to the last Soviet census of 1989, approximately 4.3 million Ukrainians live in the Russian Federation; unofficial estimates of the size of this group run considerably higher.

    A Life Histories of Etnos Theory NDERSON in Russia and Beyond , A , Edited by David G. Anderson, Dmitry V. Arzyutov RZYUTOV and Sergei S. Alymov The idea of etnos came into being over a hundred years ago as a way of understanding the collecti ve identi ti es of people with a common language and shared traditi ons. In AND the twenti eth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour. Yet outside the academy, etnos-style arguments not A only persist, but are a vibrant part of regional anthropological traditi ons.

    Revanchist Russia? Russian Perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian Sovereignty, 1990-2008

    1 Revanchist Russia? Russian Perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian Sovereignty, 1990-2008 Rasmus Nilsson UCL For the degree of PhD 2 I, Rasmus Nilsson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract The theme of this thesis concerns post-Soviet Russian foreign policy perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty between 1990 and 2008. In the thesis I argue that Russian perceptions became increasingly revanchist in nature during this period, and that we may distinguish between two different types of revanchism, the consequences of which for Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty are quite different. I argue that all Russian perceptions of international affairs are constituted by perceptions of Russia. Thus, perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty may be divided into three categories, or paradigms, each of which centres on a specific concept that legitimises the existence of Russia, and determines how Belarus and Ukraine are viewed. The three central concepts are the concepts of Law, Power, and Nation, respectively. In the introduction, I outline these paradigms, both in abstract terms and in relation to Russian foreign policy in general, as well as Russian foreign policy towards Belarus and Ukraine. Subsequently, I present my methodology and my literature review, together with a discussion of the theoretical assumptions, which provide the foundation for my argument. Then, I briefly outline Russian foreign policy making during the period relevant for my thesis, before the four main chapters of my thesis outline in roughly chronological fashion how the relative significance of the three paradigms has changed over time.

The communities were carefully selected in line with the project’s objectives and applications received from local authorities. Preference was given to the communities in close proximity to the “contact line” and to exit and entry checkpoints (EECPs), as well as large districts with a significant proportion of rural residents. Last but not least, the interest of communities in working and closely cooperating with the programme was assessed so as to ensure the sustainability of subsequent results. As a result, the following communities were selected to participate in the “Mobile Service Delivery for Conflict-Affected Populations in Eastern Ukraine” Project: Kurakhove, Mariinka, Mariupol, Siversk and Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast, and Novoaidar, Popasna, Shchastia, Sievierodonetsk and Stanytsia Luhanska in Luhansk Oblast (see Figure 1).
