  • The Northern Black Sea Region in Classical Antiquity 4
    The Northern Black Sea Region by Kerstin Susanne Jobst In historical studies, the Black Sea region is viewed as a separate historical region which has been shaped in particular by vast migration and acculturation processes. Another prominent feature of the region's history is the great diversity of religions and cultures which existed there up to the 20th century. The region is understood as a complex interwoven entity. This article focuses on the northern Black Sea region, which in the present day is primarily inhabited by Slavic people. Most of this region currently belongs to Ukraine, which has been an independent state since 1991. It consists primarily of the former imperial Russian administrative province of Novorossiia (not including Bessarabia, which for a time was administered as part of Novorossiia) and the Crimean Peninsula, including the adjoining areas to the north. The article also discusses how the region, which has been inhabited by Scythians, Sarmatians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Huns, Khazars, Italians, Tatars, East Slavs and others, fitted into broader geographical and political contexts.

  • A Turbulent Year for Ukraine Urbulent Was the Way to Describe 2009 for Ukraine, Which Plunged Into Financial Crisis
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2010 5 2009: THE YEAR IN REVIEW A turbulent year for Ukraine urbulent was the way to describe 2009 for Ukraine, which plunged into financial crisis. No other European country suffered as much as TUkraine, whose currency was devalued by more than 60 percent since its peak of 4.95 hrv per $1 in August 2008. In addition, the country’s industrial production fell by 31 percent in 2009. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko con- fronted the challenge of minimizing the crisis fallout, while at the same time campaigning for the 2010 presi- dential elections. Her critics attacked her for pursuing populist policies, such as increasing wages and hiring more government staff, when the state treasury was broke as early as the spring. Ms. Tymoshenko herself admitted that her gov- ernment would not have been able to make all its pay- ments without the help of three tranches of loans, worth approximately $10.6 billion, provided by the International Monetary Fund. Her critics believe that instead of borrowing money, Ms. Tymoshenko should have been introducing radical reforms to the Ukrainian economy, reducing government waste, eliminating out- dated Soviet-era benefits and trimming the bureaucracy. The year began with what is becoming an annual tra- Offi cial Website of Ukraine’s President dition in Ukraine – a natural gas conflict provoked by the government of Russian Federation Prime Minister President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at the heated February 10 meeting of Vladimir Putin.

  • PRELIMINARY SYLLABUS St. Petersburg
    PRELIMINARY SYLLABUS Stanford Continuing Studies, HIS 199, 2 units Spring Quarter 2018 St. Petersburg: A Cultural Biography Tuesdays, 7:00 pm - 8:50 pm Course Subject In this leCture Course we will explore the riCh Cultural history of St. Petersburg, Russia, through the works of its arChiteCts, planners, artists, writers, and Composers. LeCtures will be slide-illustrated. No prior knowledge of Russian history, arChiteCture, urban design, or art is assumed, although any of those backgrounds will be useful, and your Contributions will be welcome. Few Cities in the world lend themselves so readily to a study of their Cultural "biography" as St. Petersburg. Founded just over 300 years ago (1703) by Peter I the Great, St. Petersburg was "premeditated" (umyshlennyi, Dostoevsky's term) as the planned, rational, West-European-styled Capital City of the Russian Empire, a deliberate Counterpoise to MosCow and its tradition-bound MusCovite Culture. From its inCeption until the present, St. Petersburg has raised more questions than answers in the Russian mind: Is it Russian or West European? And what of modern (post-Peter the Great) Russia itself: Is it European, or something else? Through the arChiteCture, City planning, art, and literature of St. Petersburg, we will follow the Cultural evolution and mythology of the City, from Peter to Putin. Lectures will be slide-illustrated, drawing on my ColleCtion of photographs I have made in Russia over the last 59 years. We will also watch oCCasional videos of relevant doCumentaries, ballet, and opera. Each leCture will be acCompanied by an outline handout and suggestions for further reading.

  • The Meaning of Resilience: Soviet Children In
    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, XLVII:4 (Spring, 2017), 521–535. Lisa A. Kirschenbaum The Meaning of Resilience: Soviet Children in World War II Does the behavioral category of resilience have any explicatory power in the psychology of traumatic experience? How resilient can children be when subjected to the horrors of war? During World War II, the Soviet media used images of threatened, wounded, and murdered children to condemn Nazi brutality and mobilize resistance. In May 1943, Fadeev wrote that when he visited besieged Leningrad in April 1942, as it was emerg- ing from the deadliest months of the blockade, he saw clear evi- dence of trauma: “The imprint of that terrible winter remained on [children’s] faces and was expressed in their games. Many children played by themselves. Even in collective games, they played silently, with serious faces.” Quoting from reports made by a director of a children’s home for preschoolers in the city, he told heartbreak- ing stories of damaged children. A child named Lorik, arriving only two days after his mother’s death, anxiously focused on pro- tecting a locket with a photograph of her that he had made from a powder compact. Five-year-old Emma, who had “trouble lacing up her boots,” cried bitterly, but made no attempt to ask for help. The children in the “youngest and middle groups” (probably be- tween three and five years old) “expressed all their requests and demands with tears, whims, and whimpers, as if they’d never known how to talk.” In a city where the bread ration for depen- dents during the winter had fallen to a low of 125 grams of coarse, Lisa A.

  • Opinion on the Draft Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to the Law Of
    CENTRE OF EXPERTISE FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE Strasbourg, 27 September 2019 CEGG/LEX(2019)4 Opinion on the draft law of Ukraine “On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine On Capital City of Ukraine, Hero City Kyiv” The present opinion was prepared in response to the request formulated on 16 September 2019 by the Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on State Building, Local Governance, Regional and Urban Development of Ukraine The present opinion was prepared in response to the request formulated on 16 September 2019 by the Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on State Building, Local Governance, Regional and Urban Development of Ukraine and refers to the draft law on Ukraine “On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine On Capital City of Ukraine, Hero City Kyiv” (registration No. 2143 of 13 September 2019). In view of the limited time available to formulate it, the opinion will not include a detailed, article-by-article analysis, but it will look mainly at the most important changes in relation to the current law and will analyse them in the light of the European Charter on Local Self-Government (henceforth “the Charter”) and the best of European practice, as identified by the Council of Europe. The Charter was ratified by Ukraine on 06/11/1996 without declarations or reservations and it entered into force in respect of Ukraine on 11/09/1997. It can therefore be assessed that all obligations of the Charter apply in respect of all levels of Ukrainian sub-national self- government. The opinion will not make a constitutional analysis, although it will briefly mention a number of issues which seem to appear in respect of some of the articles of the Constitution of Ukraine and which may need to be examined closer in order to ensure that the final text is in line with it.
