The period of investigation coincides with Yeltsin’s presidency. The focus is on how the legitimation rhetoric was adjusted both to changing circumstances over time and to three main audiences: the Russian domestic population, the Russian domestic elites and the international community. In order to analyse the contents of the legitimation formula a framework was developed which divided the different arguments used by the Russian leadership into six main categories (democratic, national, charismatic, eudaemonic, external and negative arguments). The material selected for analysis had to relate to basic features of statehood.

(Published for the American Society for Information Science by Information Today, Inc., Medford, NJ, 1998.). It includes items through 1994. An earlier version was published in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology vol. 30 (1995): 385-416. HISTORY OF INFORMATION SCIENCE Michael Buckland and Ziming Liu INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to provide a review of historical writings about the development of information science (IS) or certain aspects of it rather than to review historic events and figures in the development of IS. We have reviewed the available literature, preferring but not limiting ourselves to formal historical writing, the kind that professional historians produce. An earlier version of this review (BUCKLAND & LIU) appeared in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology, which has had two prior chapters dealing, in part, with the history of IS. In 1977, in the chapter entitled "History and Foundations of Information Science," SHERA & CLEVELAND included an historical introduction to the field, and some of the literature reviewed was about the history of IS. A significant part of the chapter by RICHARDS (1992) addressed the history of information science in the Soviet Union.

It is autumn outside and we decided to prolong summer and went to the Black Sea coast where the 4th International ACEX conference took place. It is no secret that it is useful to discuss business in an informal situation, and not just at official meetings. We tried to achieve it planning this conference. We decided as well to try new format besides bilateral negotiations: the format of round tables discussions to tell delegates about the actual topics in logistics. It is for the guests to decide if we succeeded or not. And they have arrived from more than 13 countries of the world, having done a long way in transatlantic flights. The conference arrangements were under way. We prepared gifts for participants, chose the best platforms of the city of Sochi for carrying out a gala dinner and cocktail reception, planned an excursion in unusual places of the Olympic capital in order for guests could feel the most comfortable. English, French, Japanese and other languages of the world filled the conference halls, the participants exchanged ideas, projects and new transport corridors and itineraries were created, the consolidation points were found and new projects were started. The TV-channel Russia 1 included the event into its prime time. The participants took the presents, impressions and new ideas for the business development home.
