After the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula by the Russian Federation in 2014, the attitude of Baltic theatre producers and artists towards cultural and institutional partnerships with Russian theatres and their involvement in the mutual artistic exchanges, tours, common projects, and networking changed; not only due to these exchanges becoming a controversial issue in the public eye, but also due to the polarization they caused in the artistic community itself. Some artists, like Latvian stage director Alvis Hermanis, have decisively terminated all their previous creative partnerships, arrangements and tours, calling also other theatre artists “to take sides”. Others, like Russian stage and film director Kirill Serebrennikov who, for years, had been involved with Baltic theatres, would regard taking sides as a disastrous yielding of culture to the logic of war – theatre should be kept as the last link between societies gradually separated by reciprocal propaganda insanity. Building upon these conflicts describing the changes in intercultural theatrical cooperation between Russian and Baltic theatres, the article focuses on the analysis of three productions: Dreams of Rainis by Kirill Serebrennikov at the Latvian National Theatre (2015), Alexander Pushkin’s play Boris Godunov directed by Eimuntas Nekrošius at the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre (2015) and Brodsky/Baryshnikov staged by Alvis Hermanis at the New Riga Theatre in 2016. All of the performances refused to stay inside the frameworks marked for them by the regimes of propaganda wars, public diplomacy, or dispositif of security, but focused instead on the possibilities of intellectual disobedience.

This article discusses the ongoing controversy in the scientific and political community concerning the legality of Russia’s actions on the rejoining of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014. The author considers the main points of view on the legality of Russia’s actions. At the same time, special attention is paid to the interaction of legal and political aspects that determine the legitimacy of the events analysed in the article. The results of the study showed that further work with the international community to recognise the Crimea as Russian territory should use a broader context of legitimisation (historical, legal, political, socio-cultural, linguistic), and not only rational and legitimate.

This article is dedicated to the study of identity markers in the context of politically motivated persecution by the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied Crimean Peninsula. The occupational administration, following a set political course, basically builds a generalized „Other‟ that is being persecuted. They also create their own identity markers that further prove the longevity and legitimacy of the temporary occupation of Ukraine's territory. Cases of human rights violations, harassment of national and religious communities in the occupied Crimea are actively documented and investigated by non-governmental human rights organizations: Crimean Human Rights Group, Crimea SOS, Regional Center for Human Rights, Crimean Tatar Resource Center and a number of others. In the article proposed a comprehensive approach to the analysis of collective identity Crimean Tatars and Ukrainian. Author examined the main components of collective identity Crimean Tatars at the present stage. Considered the main challenges faced by the Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian community in connection with the occupation of the Crimea. Today we can talk about a specific list of elements indicating the ethnocide and linguicide agenda, political and religious persecution in the Crimean Peninsula. Furthermore, the so-called „general threat‟ is too blurry and undefined for the Russian Federation based on the gathered material throughout the years of occupation. The occupant cannot classify and define the risks that they face and that compromise the illegal occupation and attempt to annex a part of Ukrainian territory. So, they target all the self-organized active communities that are not controlled by the occupational government. Whether these communities have an agenda, national, cultural, or religious differences is an important factor, but it is not in priority. The Russian occupational regime understands its weakness on the temporarily occupied territory of the Crimean Peninsula, so it utilizes the logic and traditions of other authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. However, it will lead to the collapse of the dictatorship.

The main visions of the political, media, and expert circles in Ukraine concerning the conclusion of the Kharkiv Agreements in 2010 – the pact between Ukraine and the Russian Federation on the stay of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation Navy on the territory of Ukraine are determined. It is alleged that circles close to the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, saw them as a sign of the beginning of an era of intense Ukrainian-Russian relations, including the issue of cheaper gas, which would help to overcome the crisis in the economy and provide a lower price for gas for both industrial and household consumers. Instead, the agreements in the opposition were seen as a betrayal of Ukrainian national interests, the creation in the Black Sea region of a destabilizing center in the form of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy, and the beginning of Ukraine’s integration into the Russian geopolitical space. At the same time, the Ukrainian side was unable to persuade the Russian to sign new gas agreements to revise the price of «blue fuel» in essence, rather than through a discount system. Opposition criticism was also not effective under these circumstances: although the topic of prolongation of the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet base in Sevastopol became one of the tenets of their anti-government rhetoric, however, the unification of the opposition had not yet grown into an institutionalized movement, acquiring such features only on the eve of the parliamentary elections in 2012. Instead, the Russian side took full advantage of the Ukrainian concessions of 2010. It is the preservation of the Black Sea Fleet on the Crimean Peninsula that allowed the Russians to prepare the ground for its annexation and for the nourishment of the Russian chauvinist ideology about Sevastopol as a «Russian city».

The article analyzes several points of view regarding the implementation and application of international law in a Federal state. It was revealed that in practice Russian courts rarely rely on international law, preferring national law to it. At the moment, constitutional control is carried out according to the European model, which implies the separation of constitutional justice from the general one, as well as the consideration of constitutional disputes, only by specialized bodies.

Subject. Considering the existing environmental situation, it becomes especially important for the State to regulate the anthropogenic footprint on the environment in the Russian Federation. Current amendments to the legislative framework for environmental security are intended to ensure the innovative development of regions concurrently with a reduction in adverse environmental effects and more active environmental policy. Objectives. The research is to devise methodological tools to evaluate the efficiency of environmental policy in regions. Methods. The research employs qualitative and quantitative methods of economic analysis, including statistical and content analysis, rating, matrix zoning. The dataset proceeds from the Federal State Statistics Service, governmental reports on the current environmental situation and environmental protection in the Russian Federation. Results. We propose our own approach to evaluating the efficiency of environmental policy. It may help trace the correlation between the quality of strategic documents and changes in environmental indicators for a certain period, flag the challenging areas in terms of the environmental policy implementation and outline possible development paths. The approach extends the list of quantification indicators in line with those ones adopted internationally and presented in the Environmental Security Strategy of the Russian Federation up to 2025. We evaluated the efficiency of the environmental policy referring to the regions of the Northwestern Federal District for the period from 2012–2016. Conclusions. Having analyzed the evaluation results, most of the Northwestern regions tend to be controversial and ambivalent in setting environmental goals and achieving them. The findings may prove useful as the analytical and data basis for articulating the environmental and economic policy of the regions.
