  • Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has -been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/252 For more information, please contact [email protected]. A Divided Continuum: The Logic of Russian Escalation Against Post-Soviet States Abstract This thesis probes for patterns in the escalation of Russian interventions against neighboring post-Soviet states after the Cold War. It then seeks to explain the causation of such patterns. I conclude that the factors influencing the intensity levels of Russian interventions can be understood within a periodized framework. After the USSR’s collapse, Russia’s limited economic capacity prevented it from intensifying its interventions against neighboring ex-Soviet states. An increase in economic power at the turn of the century then shifted Russia’s intervention calculus. Russia is most likely to escalate to a significant intensity level when its economy is strong and the targeted state is not a NATO member but is progressing toward membership. The likelihood of Russian intervention increases if these factors remain true and Russia can act with plausible deniability — especially at a time when the U.S.

  • Crimea Regain Strategy
    Crimea Regain Strategy The regain of the ARC (Autonomous Republic of Crimea) to Ukraine will commence with Ukrainian troops entering the peninsula. No referendums to confirm the mandate of Ukraine for the return of Crimea are needed because Ukraine did not recognize any illegal referendum on its separation. So, how do we approach that happy moment of restoring the territorial integrity of our country? The strategy of Ukraine should consider the following areas: - The Ukraine-Russia confrontation in the military and economic spheres with a focus on economic sanctions that must consider the humanitarian aspect; - Ukraine has to take care of preserving and enhancing a sense of social support in the Crimea and in mainland Ukraine in its endeavor to retake Crimea that should substantiate Ukraine`s claim for the peninsula besides sheer legal aspects; - Consideration and mobilization of the factors to promote and impede the return strategies in the Ukrainian domestic politics; reserving a place for the newly formed structures of the civil society (the “Maidan factor”.) - Enhancement and effective use of relationships with key external partners and allies to achieve the goals of the regain strategy. 1. The effective confrontation should be based on the strategy of “economic exhaustion” of the Kremlin and creation of the situation when keeping Crimea in the RF (Russian Federation) will prove to be economically destructive for Russia and for the Crimea itself. It is important to successfully combine national interests with foreign economic sanctions, as well as certain bans and claiming fines via international arbitrary court. Specifically, the focus sectors of the return strategy are the infrastructure, the food market, energy and the tourist business of Crimea.

  • Crimea's Overlooked Instability
    William Varettoni Crimea’s Overlooked Instability It was, perhaps unfortunately, a picture broadcast round the world. Ditching decorum, Ukraine’s protesting parliamentarians hurled eggs, set off smoke-belching flares, poured glue in voting machines, and duked it out (literally) within their legislative chamber on April 27, 2010. At issue was the parliament’s ratification of a lease extension for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in the Ukrainian port of Sevastopol, Crimea. The lease was due to expire in 2017, but will now (most likely, although nothing is ever set in stone in Ukrainian politics) continue through 2042. In exchange, Ukraine will receive a roughly 30 percent discount on natural gas imports from Russia, worth up to $40 billion over 10 years.1 If it works as advertised, Kyiv sold some of its sovereignty for a stronger economy. Given the current economic environment, few dispassionate observers would begrudge Ukraine this singular tradeoff. The basing extension is unlikely to be reversed, and Crimea has once again receded from the headlines. This is both disappointing and dangerous, because the fate of the Black Sea Fleet is far from the most combustible issue facing Crimea. Crimea is at much greater risk for violence than most people assume, including those in Moscow feting the lease extension, because of two flawed tenets of conventional wisdom. The first holds that Russia wants to annex Crimea and is merely waiting for the right opportunity, most likely under the pretense of defending Russian brethren abroad. This would be accurate if it could be done with no consequences. But Russia has seen that overt action in Crimea is a strategic loser, as evidenced by its William Varettoni is a former Foreign Affairs Analyst at the U.S.

    OCT 2014 Crimea Crisis: February-March 2014 TRADOC G-2 Intelligence Support Activity (TRISA) Complex Operational Environment and Threat Integration Directorate (CTID) [Type the author name] United States Army 6/1/2012 TRISA-CTID Threat Report Purpose • To give a historical/strategic overview of the tensions between Ukraine and Russia. • To attempt to explain the language difference between eastern Ukraine and the rest of the nation and the schism it may cause within the country. • To give details of the strong position that Russia holds over Ukraine and many other Western European countries due to their reliance on Russian hydrocarbon products for energy. • To report to the Army training community the major activities the Russians performed to take total control of Crimea in less than four weeks. • To provide an operational overview of which military and civilian facilities the Russians targeted and in what order. • To detail tactics the Russians used to capture the last Ukrainian ship in the Sevastopol Naval Base. • To provide a timeline of Ukraine-Russia relations from historical times to August 2014. Executive Summary • Ukraine and Russia, despite relatively good relations during their mutual communist era, have had high-level political disagreements over energy and Ukraine’s flirtations with the West. • Ukraine is heavily dependent upon Russia for natural gas and Russia historically attempts to leverage that dependency to force political concessions. Much of the Russian natural gas consumed by Western Europe flows through pipelines that pass through Ukraine. Any economic sanctions placed on Russia by the West may boomerang if Russia chooses to stop the export of fossil fuels to Western Europe.
