    SOVIET LAW REFORM-DATELINE MOSCOW 1957 HAROLD J. BERMANt DURING a month's stay in Moscow in August-September 1955, I learned that a larger-scale movement for law reform was underway in the Soviet Union, a movement whose dimensions could not easily be grasped by reading Soviet legal literature and the Soviet press.1 A second trip to Moscow in May 1957 yielded additional information from leading Soviet jurists-justice officials, law pro- fessors, judges-who are themselves actively participating in drafting new legis- lation and new codes.2 That one must go to Moscow to learn of salient developments in Soviet law is testimony to what is today the most shocking feature of the Soviet legal system: the existence of secret laws. On the other hand, that one can go to Moscow and be told about the contents of secret laws and the unpublicized implications of published laws testifies to a certain relaxation of the secrecy. Slowly but significantly, the importance of publicizing legislation and judicial decisions is being recognized. 3 The existence of even a limited secrecy, however, together with other re- strictions upon free discussion imposed by the Communist system, particularly the rule that once a "Party line" is adopted it is not to be publicly criticized, raises doubts as to the value of statements made by Soviet jurists. Are they worth repeating? No simple answer can be offered. Some statements are, I believe, of great value and well worth repeating; others are not. Of course, 'Professor of Law, Harvard Law School. 1. See Berman, Law Rcform in the Soviet Union, 15 AM.

  • Puskás, the World Brand: Celebrity Endorsements, Brand Expansions and Other Curious Phenomena
    II Nemzetközi Turizmus és Sportmenedzsment Konferencia 2012. szeptember 5-6, Debrecen PUSKÁS, THE WORLD BRAND: CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS, BRAND EXPANSIONS AND OTHER CURIOUS PHENOMENA PAPP-VÁRY, ÁRPÁD1 – REKETTYE, GÁBOR1 1Budapest College of Communication and Business Email: [email protected]; [email protected] According to various surveys, „Puskás” is the most well-known Hungarian word. This „brand” is not just known around the world, but respected and loved. Puskás became a world star in a time when there was no Internet and television had just started gaining popularity. But why did he become so great, not only as a player but as a brand too? The article looks for the marketing aspects of this brilliant story. It covers his celebrity endorsements/sponsors, and the products/brands which used or use his (brand) name. The possible future of the Puskás brand is also discussed. Keywords: Ferenc Puskás, football, personal branding, celebrity endorsement, merchandising 1. Introduction: the greatest Hungarian football player Ferenc Puskás (1927-2006), without a doubt is the greatest Hungarian football player of all times. Even though it was not him, who wore the Hungarian national shirt the most times, having scored 84 times in 85 matches is still an outstanding performance. This is especially true since he did not return after the 1956 revolution, thus only played a little more than ten years for the national team (and appeared four times in the Spanish national team). His most memorable move is probably the “drag-back” goal against England, when Hungary won for 6:3. It is not a coincidence that in 2009 FIFA established the Puskás award for the most beautiful goal.

    THESIS – BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMME SOCIAL SCIENCES, BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION THE BUSINESS WORLD OF RUSSIAN FOOTBALL Issues and Prospects AUTHOR : Roman Andreev LI17SP SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES THESIS Abstract Field of Study Social Sciences, Business and Administration Degree Programme Degree Programme in Business and Administration Author Roman Andreev Title of Thesis The Business World of Russian Football. Issues and Prospects Date 10.12.2020 Pages/Appendices 70/0 Client Organisation /Partners Abstract Beyond any doubt, football, known as soccer in North America, remains to be one of the most influential sport games in the history of humanity. Up to this day, soccer continues to captivate billions of sports enthu- siasts all over the globe. Football has achieved great recognition, and it is now considered the most popular sport in the world. Nowadays it is appropriate and entirely justified to talk about the emergence of the foot- ball industry. Basically, modern soccer can be viewed as an international business, since global player trans- fers are made on a regular basis and international professional tournaments are organized. Moreover, soccer leagues may be now rightfully classified as separate commercialized industries. Certain football tournaments perform much better than their competitors in a business sense. In this work, the Russian Premier League in particular is discussed. The aim of the study is to investigate the historic and current issues of Russian soccer, the reasons for their emergence, and the present state. Furthermore, the commercial prospects and possibilities for local football’s business development are inspected. Potential solu- tions to the outlined problems are demonstrated as well.

    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/v10141-012-0017-0 An Iconographic Analysis of Photographs of Two Famous Football Players: Additional Information about the Career of Puskás and Deák Authors’ contribution: H. Attila Horváth A) conception and design of the study University of Pannonia, Hungary B) acquisition of data C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT The lifestyle reform movements at the turn of the century played a remarkably important role in the growing priority attributed to physical education. Sports clubs could be considered the most influential nongovernmental organizations at the beginning of the 20 th century. Sports were given special priority and were even supported by legal measures in Hungary between the two world wars. Playing football gained vast popularity. We focus on two famous football players, Puskás, “the most famous Hungarian” and Deák, a Guinness record-holding top goal scorer. To be precise, we focus on their photos: we have similar ones of a young Puskás and a young Deák. These photos depict a very important moment in the lives of both youngsters. We conduct an iconographic analysis in order to illustrate connections the two young football players have to their clubs and to the sport. KEYWORDS iconographic analysis, informal learning, non-governmental organization, sports club, Puskas Introduction Problem and aim Sports clubs could be considered the most influential nongovernmental organizations at the beginning of the 20 th century (Glatz 2003). Their establishment represented an expression of identity for the people living in the given settlement, and later on, as a result of their operation, this identity was constantly formed (Hadas & Karády 1995, pp.

  • Equestrian Olympic History
    VIVAVIVA OlympicOlympic GamesGames What do the Olympic rings mean? The colors of the interlinked Olympic rings were chosen by the International Olym- pic Committee (IOC), to represent the union of the 5 continents, Australia, Africa, America, Asia and Europe and further signify the meeting of the worlds athletes at the Olympic Games. The plain white background of the Olympic flag is symbolic of peace throughout the games. The five colors of the rings are: Blue =Europe, Yellow =Asia, Black =Africa, Green =Australia and Red =America. The Olympic rings are the official trademark of the I.O.C. What is the Olympic creed? The Olympic creed was first stated in 1896 by the founder of the modern Olympic games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. The words of the creed are as follows: “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” What is the Olympic motto? The Olympic motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius” is Latin literally meaning “Faster, Higher, Braver”. However, the universally accepted meaning is “Swifter, Higher, Stronger.” What is the Olympic oath? One athlete from the games’ host country takes an oath at the Opening Ceremony on behalf of all the competing athletes. The Olympic oath is a gesture of sportsmanship that was first given at the 1920 Olympic Games. The words of the Olympic oath are: “In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.” A similar oath is also taken by a coach or team official at each Games.

However few of theses elements made gymnastics history. As such we wonder by whom, when or where these various elements are performed. The purpose of this study was to collate data elements on the Horizontal Bar (HB) in men’s artistic gymnastics and to suggest new elements in the future. The method of study was undertaken by bibliographic analysis. This article refers mainly to journals that were published by the Japan Gymnastic Association, and a list that was made regarding the occurrence of new elements on HB in Men’s artistic gymnastics. From the analysis, the author gatherd data regarding various elememts that were performed. For example, Swing forward and vault backward straddle to hang (Tkatchev) was performed by Tkatchev A. in the 1979 World cup. A Tkatchev stretch was performed by Liukin V. and Nishikawa D. in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. In conclusion, developments of HB elements are greatly influenced by the improvement of apparatus, rules of the era. In the near future, directions of new occurring elements on the HB may add twists to the existing elements. Keywods: men, artistic gymnastics, history.
