After the shock and acute crisis of the 1990s, attempts to utilise the advantages of the region’s border position began to bear some fruit: Kaliningrad outpaced other Russian regions in terms of GRP growth rates and some other metrics. The intensification of foreign trade and the promotion of cross-border cooperation, which were facilitated by simplified border crossing procedures, became crucial mechanisms for the region’s economy to adjust to the changing geopolitical and geo-economic ...
Three Russian Baltic regions in the context of confrontation between Russia and the West

The moving boundaries of news translation
News translation has been investigated more systematically since the mid-2000s. Since then, it has kept pushing the boundaries of translation studies by asking such questions as the following: Can we study multilingual practices that do not necessarily have an identified source text? If so, what do we analyze and compare? Can we call these practices ‘translation’? How do we integrate multimodality into our traditionally textual analyses? This article formulates tentative answers based onrecent...

The intensity of population movements through the Russian- Polish border after the suspension of the local border traffic mechanism: 2016 outcomes
The mechanism of the local (or small) the cross-border movement is a form of cross-border cooperation.
