During about the quarter of the century that has elapsed after regaining independence, our scientific landscape has changed radically. The lion’s share of research work is integrated with providing university education. The targets for the following seven years were defined at the very start of the year, in the document adopted by Riigikogu (Parliament) on January 22, 2014 and entitled “Estonian research and development and innovation strategy 2014- 2020. Knowledge-based Estonia”. It starts with the acknowledgement familiar to all of us that the number and complexity of challenges faced by the society is ever increasing.

Undoubtedly, the rapid development of information society affects elections, one of the main instruments of representative democracy. This has resulted in both positive and negative changes. E-voting could be considered to have a positive effect, as it makes it easier for people to fulfil their civic duties even if they are out of the country or otherwise unable to go to the voting booths. However, the transition of elections to the Internet also introduces risks that derive from the fact that it is an environment that operates on a different logic compared to the traditional environment of pre-election competition. Since the beginning of the 1990s, when politicians and parties discovered the Internet, numerous studies with varying scope and focus have been conducted in different countries with the aim of investigating elections and the Internet.

The reasons for the Europeans’ lack of self-confidence are to be found in their own minds. Although we are confronted daily by a variety of political, social, cultural and economical problems, the people’s lack of interest and enthusi- asm in topical politics creates a situation where the peoples of Europe regard the future with apprehension, rather than with a willingness to face new challenges.

    Alicja Kosim University of Warsaw THE MODERNISATION OF LITHUANIAN THEATRE - THE CASE OF "DRESS REHEARSAL" BY KAZYS BINKIS The presentation focuses on the process of modernisation of Lithuanian drama in the first half of the 20th century in the context of changes taking place in the European dramaturgy at the time. It draws parallels between the chosen tendencies of the great theatre reform and the structure of the drama Dress Rehearsal (1940) by Kazys Binkis. Binkis's play serves as an example of the development of Lithuanian theatre, as it is clearly influenced by Bertold Brecht's theory of epic theatre and metatheatrical motifs derived from plays by Luigi Pirandello. Milda Dailidėnaitė University of Tartu ESTONIAN „MAHA“, LATVIAN „NO“ AND LITHUANIAN „NU“ Purpose of this paper is to give an overview of functions and compare Estonian verb particle „maha“, Latvian verb prefix „no“ and Lithuanian prefix „nu“. This paper gives the results of research done for my masters’ thesis.Material is taken from explanatory dictionaries (and in case of Estonian from all of the dictionaries I could find). Dictionaries were taken as a source instead of corpora, because in corpora I could only find the most frequent verbs, but in order to find out all (or close to that) functions of the particle and prefixes I needed as many different verbs as possible. The purpose of analysis was to find all (or close to that) functions of the prefixes or particle. Also taking into account the overlapping functions (e.g. separation and amount etc.). The results of analysis of separate languages are then compared and overlapping as well as different features are then discussed.

ABSTRACT Focusing on a case study of Estonia’s major political parties’ relations with the ethnic Russian electorate, the article examines the role of ethnic minority policies in the electoral appeal of nation-wide parties towards the ethnic minority electorate, attempting to assess whether pursuing efficient minority-related policies is a necessary precondition for a nation- wide party achieving electoral success among ethnic voters, and whether the migration of an ethnic minority electorate from ethnic parties to mainstream parties can be considered a sign of successful accommodation. Applying the theoretical concept of “informational shortcuts”, the article assesses persuasion strategies employed by Estonian political parties in their appeal towards the minority electorate, exemplifying the ways in which mainstream political parties can consolidate their monopoly over ethnic voters without prioritizing special minority-related policies.

Viima - sel juhul poleks tõlkija enam pelk statistiline konstrukt, vaid luust ja lihast inimene, kes tegutseb sotsiaalses ja ajaloolises konkreetsuses. Tõlkelugu on siis sotsiaalse kausaalsuse lugu, katse selgitada, miks on mingid tõlked mil - lalgi ja kus tehtud ning missuguseid muutusi on need endaga kaasa toonud (Pym 1998: 6). Enn Soosaar, teooriatesse ja üldistustesse reservatsioonidega suhtuv mõt - leja, oli mõne aasta eest päri: kui teda peaks võetama uurida, on ta valmis selgetele küsimustele andma oma vastused ja olema osaline kirjatöös „Soo - saar”. Läks teisiti, Soosaare osalus jäi kaudseks, aga samaks jäi kokkulepi - tud küsimus tõlkija võimalustest ja motiividest omas ajas. Kas tõlkes, mis on aruandekohuslane originaali ees, saab olla tõlkija eesmärki? Kui kindlakäe - liselt sai Enn Soosaar valida, mida, kuidas ja miks tõlkida? Tõlkimise otstarbest on Soosaar kirjutanud: „Inimese mõtlemine (ka uute ideede väljapakkumisel) on saja niidiga seotud nii tema enda ajastu kui ka varasemate aegade kujutlus- ning kujundimaailmaga”, meist kaugeski ajas või ruumis kirjutatud tekstid on „oluliselt kujundanud meie argimõtlemist, käibetõdede süsteemi” (Soosaar 1985a 1). „Tõlgetega meie kirjakeel algas” (1986d). „Eesti kirjanduses pole olnud aegu, millal tõlkekirjandus pidanuks ennast sürjatuna tundma” (1996: 6), tõlked on meid kujundanud ja neid on vaja meil ka edaspidi kui „võrdlus- ja mõistmisaluseid” (1986a: 678, vrd Torop 2008). Soosaar ei arenda kultuuri, ka eesti kultuuri tõlkelisust suurteemaks, aga on ilmselge, et ta kirjutab Õhtumaa kultuuri ühtsuse aluselt.

ABSTRACT Focusing on a case study of Estonia’s major political parties’ relations with the ethnic Russian electorate, the article examines the role of ethnic minority policies in the electoral appeal of nation-wide parties towards the ethnic minority electorate, attempting to assess whether pursuing efficient minority-related policies is a necessary precondition for a nation- wide party achieving electoral success among ethnic voters, and whether the migration of an ethnic minority electorate from ethnic parties to mainstream parties can be considered a sign of successful accommodation. Applying the theoretical concept of “informational shortcuts”, the article assesses persuasion strategies employed by Estonian political parties in their appeal towards the minority electorate, exemplifying the ways in which mainstream political parties can consolidate their monopoly over ethnic voters without prioritizing special minority-related policies.
