A ‘backward’ (or ‘culturally backward’) was a widely used stencil expression in the national poli- tics of the early USSR. In this context, the term does not include offensive connotations, and on the contrary, it defines peoples who were oppressed in tsarist Russia, who were not given a pos- sibility to fulfil their national awakening and for which the Soviet state itself must take special care in order to elevate them to the status of equal Soviet citizens.

  • Belarus – the Unfulfilled Phenomena: the Prospects of Social Mobilization
    14 Jovita Pranevičiūtė* Institute of International Relations and Political Science, University of Vilnius Belarus – the Unfulfilled Phenomena: The Prospects of Social Mobilization For more than ten years Belarus has be under authoritarian rule and it has been difficult to explain this phenomenon. The rhetoric of the Belarusian elites – governing and oppositional – is analyzed as the main tool of the struggle to mobilize society for collec- tive action in the political fight. The rhetoric of the ruling elite, and also the opposition, is analyzed in three dimensions: how competing elites are talking about the glorious past; the degraded present; and the utopian future. Through collective action, the nation will reverse the conditions that have caused its present degradation and recover its original harmonious essence. The main aim of this study is to demonstrate that in short - and perhaps even in the medium-run - the Belarusian president Alexander Lukahenko will remain in power due to the successful employment of the trinomial rhetorical structure. The conclusions can be shocking meaning that the ruling elite has been able to persuade society that the glorious past has been realized in the times of Soviet Union and at the moment Belarus is living in the conditions of utopian future, i.e. future is a reality, nonetheless the short period of the opposition ruin rule in the nineties and negative actions of opposition in nowadays. While the utopian reality is based at least on the ideas of economical survival and believes that all the aims of society have been reached already, the opposition has no chance to mobilize a critical part of society to ensure the support to its own ideas and to get in to power.

Title: Russia marches South: army reform and battlefield performance in Russia’s Southern campaigns, 1695-1739 Issue Date: 2017-04-26 CHAPTER 2 FRIENDS, FOES AND FRENEMIES IN THE SOUTH If the period from the end of the seventeenth to mid eighteenth century was a chessboard, then opposite Peter’s desire to assert his authority and power over vast territory stood important political and military players who were determined to put an end to his “march”. The following chapter will be divided into several subsections, each dealing with a particular element of the complex geopolitical puzzle that the Pontic region from the first decades of the eighteenth century resembled. Firstly, the focus will be on Russia’s chief adversary – the Ottoman Empire, a foe as determined and as ambitious as the tsarist state itself. Then the main features of the Crimean Khanate, as an element of the overall Ottoman military system, will be defined. However, the Khanate was a player in its own right and pursued its own interests which will also be presented in the current chapter. Next the dissertation will outline the development and the downfall of Safavid’s military and political power, followed by the establishment of a new force under the ambitious and talented Nadir Shah. The subchapter “At the Edge of Empires - the Pontic Frontier and its People” will examine the soldiers of the steppe – Cossacks, Kalmyks, and Nogais, who were an essential element of the social and military ethos of the Pontic frontier and played crucial role in the events, which will be analyzed in detail in the second part of the research.

  • (Naval) Cadet Corps the Sea Cadet Corps
    Sea (Naval) Cadet Corps The Sea Cadet Corps (Russian: Морской кадетский корпус), occasionally translated as the Marine Cadet Corps or the Naval Cadet Corps, is an educational establishment for training Naval officers for the Russian Navy in Saint Petersburg. It is the oldest existing high school in Russia. History The first maritime training school was established in Moscow as the Navigational School in 1701. The School was moved to St Petersburg in 1713 as the Naval Guard Academy. The school was renamed the Sea Cadet Corps on 17 February 1732 and was the key training establishment for officers to the Imperial Russian Navy. In 1800, with the offering of a 'forstmeister' course, the first formal training program for foresters in Russia was established at the academy. On 15 December 1852 the school was enlarged and renamed the Gentry Sea Cadet corps (Морской шляхетный кадетский корпус) with an intake of 360 students. A new building on Vasilievsky Island was also built to house the school. Following the destruction of the building in a fire in 1771 the school transferred to Kronstadt until 1796 when the Czar Paul I ordered a new building in the capital. The school expanded and became the Maritime College in 1867 and renamed again to the Sea Cadet Corps in 1891. The Corps was granted a Royal charter in 1894 and closed after the revolution in 1918 Post Revolution The College reopened in 1918 to train officers for the new Red Navy between 1926 and 1998 the school was named in honour of Mikhail Frunze. The school was merged with another Naval school in 2001 and renamed the Peter the Great Sea Cadet Corps of the St Petersburg Naval Institute.

  • Little Russian Conference
    Image not found or type unknown Little Russian Conference JÓN HJÖRLEIFUR STEFÁNSSON Jón Hjörleifur Stefánsson, M.A., is a Ph.D. candidate, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam The Little Russian Conference was a pre-USSR church unit located mostly in modern day Ukraine. It operated from 1912 to sometime between 1917 and 1920. Territory and Statistics Territory: The Governorates of Chernigov, (Kharkov until 1912), Kiev, Kursk (from 1912), (Podolia until 1912), and Poltava1 Membership (1915): 6662 Churches (2915): 223 Origin of Seventh-day Adventist Work in the Territory The first Adventist mission work in Russia took place in Crimea in the late nineteenth century, when Russian emigrants to America sent Adventist literature back home. While Adventists began work in many other places in the Empire, the work in Crimea spread north to the neighboring Governorates. Organizational History The Little Russian Mission was organized at the Russian Union meeting in Moscow, March 18–29, 1908. For its formation, the Governorates of Chernigov, Kiev, Podolia, and Poltava were cut off from the Middle Russian Mission, as well as the Kharkov Governorate from the South Russia Conference.4 The changes took effect at the start of the following year.5 At the end of its first quarter, the mission’s membership was 376.6 Initial officers were the advisory committee member and minister J. Perk, advisory committee member J. T. Böttcher, licentiate J. Pilkevitsch, missionary licentiates P. Sviridov and S. Provalovsky, and missionary nurses Rosa Kleist and Olga Naukas.7 The mission became part of the Russian Union.8 Three and a half years after its organization, at the Russian Union meeting in Riga, Latvia, in April 1912, the Little Russian Mission’s territory was modified and it was organized into the Little Russian Conference.
