    The Life and Legacy of Lyudmila Alexeyeva © 2011 Platon for Human Rights Watch A Symposium on Human Rights in Russia— Past, Present and Future November 14-16, 2019 Lyudmila Alexeyeva, who died on December 8, 2018 at the age of 91, was widely considered the matriarch of the Russian human rights movement. A recipient of several human rights awards, including the Vaclav Havel Human Rights Award in 2015, at the time of her death she was one of the last Soviet dissidents still active in the Russian Federation. She was also a periodic visitor to Indiana University. This symposium considers the incredible longevity of Lyudmila Alexeyeva’s career and her influence on multiple generations of human rights advocates, and looks to prominent human rights activists and scholars from Russia and the U.S. to reflect upon her and her impact on the Russian human rights movement. Panelists include Cathy Cosman, Paul Goldberg, Cathy Fitzpatrick, William Pomeranz, Dmitrii Makarov, Lynne Davidson, Sergei Davidis, Anastasiia Aseeva, Louise Shelley, Tanya Lokshina, and Paul Goble.

  • Chapter I Ethnic Conflicts in the Caucasus 1988-1994 Alexei Zverev

    Chapter I Ethnic Conflicts in the Caucasus 1988-1994 Alexei Zverev

    Chapter I Ethnic Conflicts in the Caucasus 1988-1994 Alexei Zverev Introduction Since 1988, Transcaucasia and parts of the North Caucasus have been the scene of turmoil. There have been numerous latent and overt claims and counterclaims concerning national statehood, administrative status, ethnic identity and borders. Never before, since the turbulent period of 1918-21 which followed the fall of the Russian empire, have conflicts raged with such deadly animosity. Old ethnic wounds have reopened, leading in some cases to sustained warfare, in others to ethnic strife punctuated by intermittent clashes. Geopolitical changes in the region have been one of the main underlying causes of ethnic conflicts. Just as in 1918-21, when the Caucasian conflicts followed the demise of the Russian empire, these have come on the heels of the weakening and then break-up of the USSR. Geopolitics is a function of the vital interests of states and societies. Thus the Warsaw Pact served the purpose of preserving the social system and securing the socio-economic development of the coalition, by repelling the perceived threat from the West. With the defeat of the Soviet Union in the Cold War, these interests changed abruptly, and a reorientation of the Eastern bloc's ruling elites to Western-type free-market economies ensued. The weakening of communist control from the Centre put an end to common ideological interests shared between the different national elites. These persuaded public opinion in their countries that a transition to a free-market economy, personal freedom and Western aid could better be ensured by economic and political sovereignty.

    XVII ON ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT APRIL 19- 22 / 2016 / MOSCOW SECTION MEETINGS PROGRAM Moscow, 2016 Dear Colleagues! On 19–22 April 2016, the XVII April International Academic Con- ference on Economic and Social Development will take place in Moscow, being held by the National Research University Higher School of Economics with support of the World Bank. This year, we decided to change slightly our traditional format of the large plenary sessions, having transformed them into the hour- and-a-half ones on relevant issues, featuring experts, as well as the public authority, business and civil society representatives. There will be discussions on a variety of themes such as macroeconomics, fi- nancial markets, budget, social policy, health protection, migration, education, technological challenges and innovations, business and law, values and social structural changes, agriculture, etc. As for the sectional program of the Conference, it will be diversi- fied as usual. By the time being, the conference program has 46 sections, in identifying which almost all Latin alphabetic letters are used. Among the honorary guests of the Conference are Professors: Gerard Roland, University of Cali- fornia, Berkeley, Timur Kuran, Duke University, Daniel Treisman, University of California, Peter Strohschneider, President/German Research Foundation, Ronald Inglehart, University of Michi- gan, Richard Murnane, Harvard University, and many others. To hold a special seminar jointly with the European Association for Comparative Economic Studies (EACES) is going to become a tradition. This time its topic is “Russian Businesses in Comparative Prospect.” This year, two PhD seminars on Finance and Management are planned within a frame- work of the Master program of the Conference.

Soviet-US Relations. STARTING THE DAY (Voznesenskaya, M 5) recalled the case of American schoolgirl Samantha Smith, who was invited to the USSR after having written a letter to the Kremlin asking why the Soviet leaders were threatening the world with war and who was killed last August in an air crash. The program spoke of a propaganda maneuver by the USSR, and said that while she might have been a source of irritation upon returning home, like other pacifists in the West she was not subjected to any persecution, in contrast to pacifists in such countries as the USSR and the GDR. Commenting on an article in Pionengmya Pravda suggesting that the air crash could have been the work of "enemies" who saw Samantha Smith as an "agent of Moscow," the program said the international declaration of children's rights describes instilling in children a hatred of other peoples as a crime and cited the Bible that those whom miskod children should have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea. 2. Dissidents and Human Rights. In HUMAN RIGHTS (Alexeyeva, NY 20), a RERUN from December 26, veteran human rights activist Lyudmila Alexeyeva commented on the deteriorating human rights situation in the USSR in 1985.

    Norwegian Helsinki Committee Annual Report 2012 Annual Report 2012 Norwegian Helsinki Committee Established in 1977 The Norwegian Helsinki Committee (NHC) is a non-governmental organisation that works to promote respect for human rights, nationally and internationally. Its work is based on the conviction that documentation and active promotion of human rights by civil society is needed for states to secure human rights, at home and in other countries. NHC bases its work on international human rights instruments adopted by the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Organisation of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), including the 1975 Helsinki Final Act. The main areas of focus for the NHC are the countries of Europe, North America and Central Asia. The NHC works irrespective of ideology or political system in these countries and maintains political neutrality. How wE work Human rigHts monitoring and reporting Through monitoring and reporting on problematic human rights situations in specific countries, the NHC sheds light on violations of human rights. The NHC places particular emphasis on civil and political rights, including the fundamental freedoms of expression, belief, association and assembly. On-site research and close co-operation with key civil society actors are our main working methods. The NHC has expertise in election observation and has sent numerous observer missions to elections over the last two decades. support of democratic processes By sharing knowledge and with financial assistance, the NHC supports local initiatives for the promotion of an independent civil society and public institutions as well as a free media. A civil society that functions well is a precondition for the development of democracy education and information Through education and information about democracy and human rights, international law and multicultural understanding, we work to increase the focus on human rights violations.

    The Forgotten Victims: Childhood and the Soviet Gulag, 1929–1953

    Number 2203 ISSN: 2163-839X (online) Elaine MacKinnon The Forgotten Victims: Childhood and the Soviet Gulag, 1929–1953 This work is licensed under a CreaƟ ve Commons AƩ ribuƟ on-Noncommercial-No DerivaƟ ve Works 3.0 United States License.

Elaine MacKinnon Abstract This study examines a facet of Gulag history that only in recent years has become a topic for scholarly examination, the experiences of children whose par- ents were arrested or who ended up themselves in the camps. It fi rst considers the situation of those who were true “children of the Gulag,” born either in prison or in the camps. Second, the paper examines the children who were left behind when their parents and relatives were arrested in the Stalinist terror of the 1930s. Those left behind without anyone willing or able to take them in ended up in orphanages, or found themselves on their own, having to grow up quickly and cope with adult situations and responsibilities. Thirdly, the study focuses on young persons who themselves ended up in the Gulag, either due to their connections with arrested family members, or due to actions in their own right which fell afoul of Stalinist “legality,” and consider the ways in which their youth shaped their experience of the Gulag and their strategies for survival. The effects of a Gulag childhood were profound both for individuals and for Soviet society as a whole.

    Research & Assessment Branch The Russian Chronologies July - September 2009 Dr Mark A Smith 09/13 RUSSIAN DOMESTIC CHRONOLOGY JULY 2009 – SEPTEMBER 2009 1 July 2009 The head of the commission for the Caucasus and first deputy speaker of the Federation Council, Aleksandr Torshin, criticises the assessment of the situation in the North Caucasus made by the human rights organization Amnesty International. 1 July 2009 President Dmitry Medvedev speaks at a state reception for graduates of military educational institutions in the Kremlin. He discusses military reform. 1 July 2009 Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Ivanov discusses with Vladimir Putin the development of seaport construction. Ivanov states: In 1998-99, of the total volume of import and export operations, 75 per cent of our cargoes were shipped through foreign ports, mostly Ukrainian and Baltic ones, and only 25 per cent through Russian ports. Now the proportion is as follows: 87 per cent of all cargoes are already shipped and processed through Russian ports, and only 13 per cent through foreign ports. I think that's fairly good dynamics, and in the foreseeable future we will completely get rid of dependence on foreign ports. This is very important from the economic point of view, and of course additional jobs. 1 July 2009 The head of the Rosnano state corporation Anatoly Chubays addresses the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs innovation policy committee. He discusses the need to develop an innovative economy in the Russian Federation. 1 July 2009 Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev says that alcohol abuse or poisoning causes each fifth death in Russia.
