The features of EU energy strategy in the Baltic region
... energy industry of the Russian Federation. Trying to allow for this circumstance, EU leaders and energy structures took a number of organizational measures aimed, on the one hand, at an increase in energy independence of new members of the EU and, on the other hand, at taking into account the recent trends in the energy market development. The research shows that most of the initiatives do not take into account the perspective and interests of Russia, which has a strong presence in the energy market. ...
Geopolitical transformation of the Kaliningrad oblast of the Russian Federation
After the World War II, the part of East Prussia taken by the Soviet Union was transformed into a gigantic Soviet military base. It performed the functions of the outpost in the West on the one hand; and on the other hand, of the barrier which helped the USSR to ensure the dependence of the Eastern Baltics and domination in Poland. After the Cold War, Kaliningrad Oblast, a territory of 15,000 square metres with a population of nearly one million people, owned ...

The results demonstrate that verbal charms are complex linguocultural mechanisms that provide not only protection but also psychological stability in traditional society. The developed approach can be productively applied to further study the functional mechanisms of sacred texts and verbal protective strategies in different cultures, as well as to analyze other linguistic phenomena representing sacred experience in folklore.

The study demonstrates that the narrative of the 1944 deportation consolidates Ingush society, enabling regional actors to sustain a “victimhood” discourse and to preserve the memory of trauma through discursive practices and other channels, including education and memorial infrastructure. By contrast, the memory of Ingush statehood is supported by both regional and federal actors. This narrative excludes references to tragic events and focuses on the region’s socio-economic ...

The role of tram lines in the formation of new residential and industrial zones, as well as in the integration of peripheral areas into the ...
How can the ability of six-month-old infants to learn words, meanings, and referential categories be explained?

However, recent studies show that 6-month-old infants already know some common words, such as banana, mouth, and hand, indicating that they understand their referential uses. These and other results indicate that infants develop the associated pairs of “name + concept” from a very early age. This clearly contradicts the generally accepted paradigm. To explain how early words appear in infants, this article introduces a hypothesis, which states the innateness of the dual ...
Prospects for a new intervention by military in the political processes in the Republic of Turkey
The military’s involvement in political processes in Turkey has ambiguous consequences for society. On the one hand, for decades, the army has supported the secular character of Turkish politics. On the other hand, the military has acted as a strong force slowing down the development of Turkish democracy, fearing a loss of influence over the state. Whenever conditions for political emancipation arose, the military took control, organizing mass repression ...
