The study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the Ukrainian diaspora’s life in Lithuania. The Ukrainian community in this country has deep historical roots, but as in other countries of the former Soviet Union, it became more active in the late 1980s. From that time community organizations began to be formed, and become important centers of diaspora. They conduct powerful cultural-educational work. They have been spreading and popularizing our cultural traditions for quite some time. Ethnic Ukrainians constantly help their homeland and maintain a positive image of Ukraine in the world. It should also be noted that Ukrainian communities in Lithuania actively influence the transparent coverage of events in Ukraine. But Ukrainians in Lithuania are quickly assimilated and lose their identity. One of the reasons for this is that in the Republic of Lithuania after the restoration of independence, almost all Ukrainians received the citizenship of this state, in contrast to other Baltic countries. Also, the integration of newly arrived Ukrainians into the previously larger Russian community in the country. And according to the latest data, there is a much larger influx of Ukrainians over the last few years, even compared to the Russians. This gives hope that the development of the Ukrainian community will not be pretended. Currently, there is no single research that would compare the life of the Ukrainian community in Lithuania in the modern period. Thus, the systematization and analysis of information about the activities of the Ukrainian community in Lithuania are incredibly relevant.

Economic policy has often been an integral part of foreign policy usage by governments. Many states will use trade, aid, and investment as instruments to attain other objectives deemed to be in the national interest. Albert Hirschman in an early and classic study suggested that governments in the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany consciously attempted to dominate the trade of weaker states in Europe as a means of enhancing the German foreign policy position. Russian trade policy since the breakup of the Soviet Union has followed a similar policy, especially in regard to the other successor states of the former Soviet Union. Patterns were different for the Baltic countries, other European successor states, the Transcaucasian states, and Central Asian countries. Notwithstanding differences that were present, there was evidence in the trade patterns to indicate that Moscow was using trade policy to gain influence in the successor states.

The article is devoted to the problems of development of legislation which determines the procedure of the constitutional proceedings, the procedural status and terms of participants’ activity in the Russian Federation and in the Republic of Belarus. Constitutional justice is a relatively new Institute in a legal system of Russia and other former Soviet republics. Conditions for its formation in the former Soviet Union have common as well as specific features. The comparison of the place and role of the constitutional court in system of public authorities and the procedural legal regulation of the constitutional justice is of obvious scientific and practical interest now because a clear, systematic regulation is very important for creating the conditions to allow objectively and comprehensively examine and resolve the constitutional conflict. Highlighting the characteristic features of the Federal constitutional law «On the constitutional Court of the Russian Federation» and the Law of the Republic of Belarus «On constitutional proceedings», the author comes to the conclusion about the necessity of development and specifying of the activity of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation by improving the using of traditional procedural-legal institutions taking into account the unique status of the highest judicial body of the constitutional control.

The article addresses the problems of inclusive education development through the prism of ethnocultural factors. A small comparative analysis of inclusive education development is given: legislative and law basis, cultural traditions in Russia and Kyrgyzstan, language and customs. The ethnocultural factor of inclusive education development is expressed through the language of “study” at schools and professional educational organizations. The author emphasizes the signs of our time – language assimilation in the countries of the former Soviet Union. It is shown that many parents in the north of Kyrgyzstan send their children, including children with disabilities, to study at Russian schools, and it causes additional barriers in learning, along with the barriers caused by physical and intellectual disabilities.

Большинство специалистов согласятся с тем, что Васо Абаев является величайшим ученым, областью научных интересов которого было, прежде всего, осетиноведение, рассматривавшееся им под углом иранистики. Уже при жизни он, несомненно, пользовался международной известностью и признанием среди иранистов, о чем свидетельствует публикация 540-страничного юбилейного сборника в его честь, выпущенного Итальянским институтом стран Африки и Востока в Риме [1]. Но в какой степени эта репутация основывалась на том, что его западные коллеги действительно имели возможность глубоко вникать в содержание его исследований? Из огромного количества материалов, созданных Абаевым за его долгую жизнь, практически все были написаны на русском языке, которым мало кто из иранистов владеет как на Западе, так и в самом Иране. Если говорить о переводах, то было переведено и опубликовано лишь несколько статей и одна книга по грамматике, и они, к тому же, существуют в крошечном количестве копий, хранящихся в университетских и государственных библиотеках. Принимая во внимание огромный вклад Абаева в науку, вызывает сожаление тот факт, что большинство иранистов за пределами бывшего Советского Союза имели такой ограниченный доступ к его трудам. В статье поднимается актуальная проблема интеграции русскоязычной иранистики в мировое академическое пространство, вскрываются основные причины слабой вовлеченности советских/российских осетиноведческих исследований в международную иранистику. Кроме того, дается краткий обзор тех немногих работ по осетинской тематике, которые вышли за пределами России. Most experts will agree that Vaso Abaev is the greatest scientist, whose area of ​​scientific interests was, first of all, Ossetian studies, which he considered from the angle of Iranian studies. During his lifetime, he undoubtedly enjoyed international fame and recognition among Iranian scholars, as evidenced by the publication of a 540-page anniversary collection in his honor, published by the Italian Institute of African and Oriental Countries in Rome [1]. But to what extent was this reputation based on the fact that his Western colleagues did indeed have the opportunity to delve deeply into the content of his research? Of the huge amount of materials created by Abaev during his long life, almost all were written in Russian, which few Iranian scholars speak either in the West or in Iran itself. In terms of translation, only a few articles and one book on grammar have been translated and published, and they also exist in tiny numbers of copies held in university and government libraries. Given Abaev's enormous contribution to science, it is regrettable that most Iranian scholars outside the former Soviet Union had such limited access to his writings. The article raises the actual problem of integrating Russian-language Iranian studies into the world academic space, reveals the main reasons for the weak involvement of Soviet / Russian Ossetian studies in international Iranian studies. In addition, a brief overview is given of the few works on Ossetian topics that have appeared outside of Russia.

A frequent assertion about the recent events and pervasive mood in Belarus—the apparent efforts to reunite with Russia, the virtual denial of a Belarusian identity by a Russophone president, official nostalgia for the time of the former Soviet Union— is that national consciousness is somehow retarded or delayed, and national development is lagging considerably behind that of its neighboring states, Lithuania and Ukraine. This article seeks to address the question of national self-awareness in Belarus from three angles: those of demography, culture, and language. Was development of the republic in the Soviet period different from that of the other republics, and is that development responsible for what has been described as the “national nihilism” of today? Is that mood likely to change with a new generation of Belarusians? How far is President Alyaksander Lukashenka, the first president of Belarus, who was elected in July 1994, responsible for the present situation and how far is he a symptom of the notable lack of self-assertion of Belarusians?

In this paper institutional change in the former Soviet Union will be explored by focusing on local government politics and administration. The political turmoil in local government is examined as efforts are made to capture the ‘residual legitimacy’ of the Communist Party and to replace the latent functions of the Party in coordinating the complex structure of local government. It is demonstrated that the complex centralized structure of Soviet local government still exists. It is argued that the conflict between the mayor and the city soviet has at least partly been a turf battle over whether the mayor or the city soviet will assume functions previously performed by units of the Communist Party; that, although on the surface the administrative system has been significantly altered, some units are little changed from the Soviet period; and that policy responsibilities of city government are being shaped as they assume by default residual responsibilities from the republic government and as the effects of privatization are felt.

Reform and the transformation of authoritarian régimes in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Horn of Africa have been associated with rampant nationalism, secession of component units, and ultimately, demands for the return of lost territories. By contrast, within supposedly ‘tribal’ Southern Africa, the African National Congress (A.N.C.) and its Africanist opponents are agreed that any settlement must apply to the whole of the Republic of South Africa, including the so-called ‘independent Homelands’.

Communist Successor Parties

Much of the literature on communist successor parties has concentrated far more on East-Central Europe than the former Soviet bloc and on the ‘social-democratic’ successors than those of a neo-communist hue. This article aims to extend the comparative impact of studies of such successor parties by analysing two of the principal ‘neo-communist’ successor parties in the former Soviet Union (FSU): the Russian CPRF (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) and PCRM (Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova). I argue that legacy-based approaches, which focus on the ‘patrimonial communist’ history of the FSU, explain much of the general context for party origins, political profile and the political capital possessed by the neo-communists, but are far less persuasive at explaining both the timing and extent of party return and their longer-term trajectory and electoral success than previously accounted for in the literature. In particular, differences in the political environment (such as the role of presidentialism versus parliamentarianism) and (especially) the role of political agency are seen to have greater importance.
