To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007). -

Introduction According to Air Transport Action Group, the air transport industry supports 62.7 million jobs globally and aviation’s total global economic impact is $2.7 trillion (approximately 3.5% of the Gross World Product) [1]. Aviation transported 4 billion passengers in 2017, which is more than a half of world population, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization [2]. It makes the industry one of the most important ones in the world. It has a consid- erable effect on national economies by providing a huge number of employment opportunities both directly and indirectly in such spheres as tourism, retail, manufacturing, agriculture, and so on. Air transport is a driving force behind economic connection between different regions because it may entail economic, political, and social effects. -

The Treacherous Path: an Insider's Account of Modern Russia (2018)
SLOVO, VOL. 32, NO. 1 (FALL 2018), 101-103 DOI: 10.14324/111.0954-6839.092 The Treacherous Path: An Insider’s Account of Modern Russia (2018) Author: Vladimir Yakunin London: Biteback Publishing Language: English Winston Churchill once stated he was confident posterity would recall his opponents wrong, since ‘I shall write that history.’ History, as written by the victor, maybe the purpose of this autobiography. With a foreword by Richard Sakwa, a Contributor to the Kremlin's Valdai Discussion Club, this 280-page book, the first of possibly many memoirs by members of Putin's inner circle, is a somewhat blatant justification of Putinism. It appears less that Yakunin has ‘broken the Kremlin code of silence,’ as one reviewer states on the cover, and more that this book constitutes both an exercise in self-justification and an attempt by a former member of Russia's kleptocratic elite to sanitize recent history. It may even represent a further initiative to win the hearts and minds of those Western audiences less familiar with the details of Russia's domestic political history since the fall of the USSR. Born in 1947, Vladimir Yakunin trained as an engineer. In the 1980s, he joined the KGB and, as a member of its elite First Directorate, was posted to New York to work in the Soviet Diplomatic Mission to the United Nations. After the collapse of communism, he worked in the presidential administration before becoming Deputy Minister for Transport and Railways. In 2005, he was appointed President of Russian Railways, until dismissed by Vladimir Putin in 2015. -
