  • Belarus: a Chinese Solution?1 Tomasz Kamusella University of St
    Belarus: A Chinese Solution?1 Tomasz Kamusella University of St Andrews Bezviz, or the European Union’s visa waver program extended to Ukraine a year ago in June 2017,2 must have angered the autocratic regimes in neighboring Belarus and Russia. Why would Ukrainians, who had just lost Crimea and were unable to stop the Russian incursion in the east of their country, be allowed to enjoy Rome or Paris without having to face the indignity of applying for a Schengen visa? The Eiffel Tower, the Sistine Chapel, or the Canaries can hardly be successfully replaced with the likes of Sochi, the rebuilt Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, or the Crimean seacoast stricken by the dearth of water. Neither are the Kuril Islands, known for their balmy climate conducive to all-year-round holidaying. To the average Belarusian and Russian the west inexplicably rewarded Ukraine for the military losses suffered with the privilege that should first be accorded to Russians or Belarusians. Autocracies as good at winning elections with the help of political technologists and sophisticated IT systems as those in Belarus and Russia are nevertheless still susceptible to fickle popularity felt by the ‘electorates’ for the strongman at the top. The less a dictator is popular, the more direct violence has to be applied to wage power. In turn, unleashing too much violence causes popularity to plummet even further. This confronts the regime with the unwanted downward spiral of increasing state violence that simultaneously generates instability, which in no time may morph into effective political opposition. And such opposition stands a chance of unsettling the dictator from power; an option best to be avoided.

  • Traditional Health-Related Practices of Russian-Speaking
    TRADITIONAL HEALTH-RELATED PRACTICES OF RUSSIAN-SPEAKING IMMIGRANTS RESIDING IN THE UNITED STATES by POLINA AMBURG A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Nursing Written under the direction of Dr. T. Lindgren and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey January 2019 @2019 Polina Amburg All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Traditional Health-Related Practices of Russian-Speaking Immigrants Residing In The United States By POLINA AMBURG Dissertation Director: Dr. Teri Lindgren The population of Russian-speaking immigrants is growing in the United States. Like many other immigrants, Russian-speakers (born in the former USSR) present with a number of health concerns. Many of the health conditions pertinent to this population are highly manageable and/or preventable. Empirical literature indicates low engagement in health-promotion, health maintenance, and screening behaviors in this group of immigrants. There is also an indication of a gap in research addressing culturally-based beliefs and behaviors of Russian-speakers in the US. To address a gap in empirical literature, a qualitative ethnographic study was conducted on the East coast of the United States. Twenty participants ages 36 to 83 years were interviewed along with participant observation at community events and analysis of documents (visual and print media). Data analysis revealed perceptions of health and illness to be influenced by perception of healthcare, and these findings subsequently guide health-related practices of Russian-speaking immigrants. The study also identified transnational socio-cultural ii connections to influence beliefs and practices of the immigrants who came to the United States after the USSR dissolution.
