Among Strakhov’s interlocutors were not only philosophers and natural scientists, but also writers, including Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy and Afanasy Fet, who in many ways determined the cultural and ...

The Accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO: Geopolitical implications for Russia’s position in the Baltic Sea region

The ‘Russian threat’ after the start of Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine outweighed the argument of that part of the expert community, the political and business elite of Finland and Sweden, who had feared that their joining NATO and corresponding war obligations was fraught with the risk of uncontrollable tension with Russia or involvement in hostilities in the interests of those members of the Alliance who are geographically remote from the Baltic region (in particular, Turkey)....

For example, in the speech quoted above, he states: ‘what the three Baltic States have in common almost completely derives from shared unhappy experiences imposed upon us from outside: occupations, deportations, annexation, sovietization,...

How translations are willed into existence
This paper will argue that translations are willed into existence in three conceivable ways: pull, push and shuffle. Pull is the most intuitive form. It corresponds, for example, to a publishing house that decides to translate a foreign novel. Here, the initiative to invest in a new translation project is almost entirely located on the target side. The push mode, in contrast, can be exemplified by a ...

It is shown that, as concepts of things, noumena are divided into substan tial and empty ones. Substantial noumena correspond to transcendental objects as the material of possible experience, which has become or can become actual, on the one hand. On the other, they correspond to abstract idealisation relations – norms and values – that are immanent in the world ...

The letters of S. I. Hessen and I. I. Lapshin, two Russian Neo-Kantian philosophers, were written in the early post-war years. These letters bear witness to the later period in the life and work of their authors, a period of hardship, tragic losses and hopes. Both philosophers were deeply embedded in the intellectual landscape of Russian emigration. They were also known and valued by their peers in the countries that gave them refuge, Poland and Czechoslovakia, where they not only published their...

In 2020, the year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a shift in the municipalities’ contribution to the regional indicators. However, the scale of the changes roughly corresponds to the annual fluctuations, so they cannot be explained only by the pandemic crisis. At the same time, 2020 saw a fall in absolute taxable income only in the Svetlogorsk UD (due to understandable problems with the influx of holiday-makers) ...

The geopolitical effect of the maritime factor on the spatial development of post-Soviet Russia: the Baltic case

The new geopolitical landscape calls for revising the status of Russian Baltic territories as autonomous and geopolitically distinctive entities — a view prevalent throughout the past thirty years. The corresponding reconceptualisation of all Russian marine border areas with a focus on affiliation with Russia and its jurisdiction rather than on transboundary opportunities may manifest itself in the Russian Baltic geo-concept, a term that has been recently ...
