ANNOTATION. This article is the first attempt of the biographic research of Grand Duchess Uliana Algirdienė of Lithuania (d. 17/03/1392), based on the critical analysis of primary sources. It is also aimed at pointing out the reflection of the role of women in the pagan Lithuanian society. The research was carried out by means of the analytical and comparative method of historical source analysis with a view to separate as distinctly as possible the information derived from contemporary sources from the images imposed by later historiographic tradition. The article questions the stereotypes related to Uliana’s great political power in Lithuania’s political life that are well-established in modern historiography and present-day cultural memory. With this an attempt is made to draw attention to the problematic nature of information derived from historical sources as well as to more distinctly define the frames imposed by the political culture of pagan Lithuania which clearly marked the boundaries for the political activities of women representing the ruling dynasty. This article for the most part dwells on the issues related to the coverage of Algirdas and Uliana’s marriage and the period of their married life up to Algirdas’ death in 1377. KEYWORDS: Uliana, Algirdas, Simeon, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Moscow, Tver, Rus’, women

The study of politics in “developing” countries has tended to focus on the less formal organs of government, such as political parties, the military, the bureaucracy, and even the educational system. National legislatures have often been ignored or rated of little significance in the political processes of these states. This practice contrasts markedly with the attention paid to legislatures in Western states. The most obvious explanation for it is that legislatures in new states tend to have little influence. Important decisions and shifts in power are usually made or recorded elsewhere in the political system.The Bunge, or National Assembly, of Tanzania is no exception to this general phenomenon. Nevertheless, an examination of the role of M.P.'s in Tanzania can be illuminating. The Bunge contains most of the major political leaders and has, at least constitutionally, broad authority. As a consequence, if the Assembly is to be only a weak political body, then informal norms limiting the powers of the M.P.'s role must exist. Moreover, these norms should prescribe authority relationships between the legislature and other policy shaping bodies in the political system, particularly the Party. Thus, an analysis of the roles of these men can provide important insights not only into the functions of the Bunge, but also into the elite political culture of Tanzania and the pattern of politics which this culture supports.

As periodic stock–taking efforts would indicate,1students of international organizations have become increasingly sophisticated in the methods and techniques used for assessing the dynamics of international efforts at cooperation, and the impact of these efforts on the general stream of international politics. Nowhere has this been more true than in attempts by scholars to come to grips with the political processes acted out in the General Assembly of the United Nations. To para–phrase Keohane,2we have come to witness a change of focus from a somewhat static description of structures, rules and regulations, to analyses of patterns of voting behavior (and correlates thereof) to, finally, systematic analyses of patterns of interactions leading to votes and resolutions.

In the XXI century, the French Republic remains one of the major economic and political partners of the Russian Federation. At the same time, one of the forces contributing to the internal stability of the Fifth Republic is the community of holders of state awards, united by official symbols around the idea of serving for the benefit of France, regardless of their own political beliefs. However, differences in the nature of award systems make it difficult for Russian statesmen to understand the true role of French order-bearers in political processes, the role of the Order itself in the life of France. The intuitive perception of this institution by Russian representatives is often limited or erroneous. Based on the analysis of information resources affiliated with the Order of the Legion of Honor, the author formulates a list of the main activities of its members. Understanding the nature of the participation of this organization in the political and social life of the Republic can have a significant impact on a certain «course correction» when interacting with foreign orderbearers. In addition, the presented conclusions can focus the attention of politicians in international affairs on institutions whose influence on domestic processes, although not obvious due to the difference in thesauri, is significant.

The article investigates linguistic features in program of presidential candidate S. Tihipko. Communicative roles of a political figure, implemented in program, identified and analyzed; language, representing these roles, is emphasized. The purpose of the article is to define the language features of program by S. Tihipko, candidate for President of Ukraine (based on 2010 presidential election of Ukraine information). It found that the image of a politician is an integral part in modern politics, and the so-called communicative image is a special consideration. One of his manifestations is the communicative role. Namely, the ability of a politician «to play» (to explain, to describe, to convey an idea, to idealize himself) in public. Because of that the phenomenon of communicative image is not well researched, there is not consensus on the definition of communicative role. In our survey we use O. Chorna’s classification, which distinguishes 16 communicative roles of a political leader, each of them has its own verbalizers and is characterized by a number of manipulative strategies. It was revealed, that features in program of 2010 presidential candidate S. Tihipko, the communicative role of «Competent Leader» is dominating. Vivid objectivators are: «I am the statements», perfect verbs to indicate future actions (analytical form of the future tense), verbs with the meaning of effectiveness, efficiency. The main image-creating communicative strategies are: appealing to basic needs (life, health, safety, peace); appealing to family values; accumulation of problems that implies future changes; a strategy of inclusive, unity with the people. Among figurative appeals, metaphors attract attention. Distinctive of the candidate's election program was the use of several interconnected communicative roles (Competent Leader, Responsible, Unity Leader and Believer). The political tagline of S. Tihipko is analyzed, on which the main idea of his election campaign is concentrated. Dominant communicative role of S. Tihipko «Competent Leader» represents the candidate as a worthy head of state, coordinator of all political processes, emphasizes his professionalism, determination, responsibility. S. Tihipko's election program appeals to both the minds of Ukrainian citizens and emotions. Exactly, the latter are drawn to the figurative references used in the text of the political agenda. The prospect of further research is to trace the linguistic features of the political programs of other well-known Ukrainian politicians, as well as to compare the communicative roles played and the linguistic means used to design them.
