Economic development of Russia’s north-western regions and migration to the St. Petersburg agglomeration
..., [11].
The 2008—2009 financial crisis had a severe impact on the development of Russian regions. It also had a tangible effect on the Finnish economy, slowing down its development and intensifying migration. In Finland, population growth has been minor, and agglomerations have mostly grown through migration. The population has migrated from the north and east towards the south, and to a lesser extent, to the Baltic Sea coast and university cities. The most attractive agglomerations have been those ...
. The course and outcomes of testimony verification at the crime scene with the involvement of a minor
The process of testimony verification at the crime scene is often challenging due to its complex and dynamic nature. Moreover, there are certain peculiarities when performing this work during the investigation with the participation of a minor. The purpose of this study is to highlight the main features that arise during the testimony verification at the crime scene with the participation of a minor and to develop the most practical implementation recommendations. The study confirms the ...
International heritage in the memorial landscape of the Kaliningrad region
... Lithuanians, newcomers from Lithuanian lands and the descendants of Prussians — accounted for a substantial part of the population of the Duchy of Prussia, which later became East Prussia, in the 16th-early 20th century. The term Klein-Litauen (Lithuania Minor) first appeared in the German chronicles of the 16th century to denote regions populated by both Germans and Lithuanians. Lithuania Minor spanned today’s Klaipėda County and the eastern part of what is today the Kaliningrad region. Historically,...
Ethnic minority organisations in Russia and Poland: a comparison challenge
This article proposes a framework for classifying ethnic minority organisations based on a broad combination of discursive and non-discursive criteria rooted in their political opportunities profile. One diasporic and one non-diasporic organisation were chosen for Russia and Poland, respectively. Diasporicity ...
The best interests of the child in the context of criminal procedure policy
The novelties of the Criminal Procedure Law of the Republic of Belarus show the commitment to introduce child-friendly technologies in practice. However, studies show the lack of consistency in the identification of Criminal Procedure policy for minors. Reforming the legal status of minors in criminal proceedings could be more effective in the case of a system-forming basis.
The international legal principle of the best interests of the child could be the foundation of the criminal procedure ...
Latvian policy on the Russian-language education
... school unchanged. The transformations were not long in coming — already in 1995 amendments to the law on the primary school and gymnasium were adopted, proclaiming the need to introduce several subjects in the Latvian language in schools for national minorities. The largest reforms were carried out in 2004, when high school in Russian-language schools (grades 10—12) was required to study in a 60/40 ratio — at least 60 % of subjects in Latvian and no more than 40 % in Russian. The second package ...
The Polish minority in the Republic of Lithuania: internal and external factors
The ethnic makeup of the population significantly affects the domestic policy of any state, and its relations with neighbouring countries. Although interactions with ethnic minorities are not as urgent a problem in Lithuania as they are in the two other Baltic States, ethnicity-related conflicts continue to occur, particularly, as regards the relations between the Lithuanian state and the Polish minority, which is the ...
Language policy of Estonia: achievements and the future of education in the Russian language

In the works of Estonian authors, there is unequivocal postulation of Russia’s influence on Estonian society, while relatively little attention is given to the Russian-speaking minorities themselves. Domestic researchers focus on the negative aspects of integration and language policies—violations of the rights of national minorities, the assimilative nature of Estonia’s language policy—yet, due to the language barrier,...

Societal security in the Baltic Sea Region: the Russian perspective

This sub-school focuses on ethnic, religious, cultural and sexual minority rights, believing that, in a healthy society, minorities should be protected and have a full freedom of expression. Neoliberals both nationally and globally heavily criticize the Russian government for its inability to effectively implement this ...
Migration distances in Russia: a demographic profile of migrants
... In the Czech Republic, almost 50 % of migrations are within the range of 20 km; 70 % within 50 km. Overall, the situation in the country is described by the classical curve graph: migration intensity decreases as distance grows. Yet, the curve has a minor peak corresponding to the distance between Prague and Brno, which is about 210 km [27]. In the 1980s, 73 % in the US and 83 % in the UK moved within 50 km. But the average distance of migration in the former was thrice that in the latter [28]. The ...

The main problem is the situation of the correspondent ethnic minorities in the two countries: Poles in Lithuania and Lithuanians in Poland. According to the Polish authorities, the interests of Lithuania’s Polish residents are not safeguarded, and their rights are infringed. Similar complaints are voiced by Vilnius ...

The author argues that mediation is possible only in relation to minors aged 14 to 16 years. The mediation criteria system is analyzed and the obtained results are based both on the theoretical postulates of the criminal process and on an empirical basis (a survey was conducted among the subjects of law enforcement ...
Ethno-confessional immigrant ghettos as a national security problem in Denmark’s social and political discourse

Danish social and political discourse pictures this ideological difference between the host society and Muslim immigrant minorities as a potential threat to Denmark’s national security caused by a combination of political, social, and economic factors. The ensuing social disunity and violation of the country’s territorial integrity take the problem to a regional and ...

Estonian Political Parties in the mid-2010s

Today, five sixths of voters support one of the four main political parties. A minority of voters does not consider any of the four dominant parties as a representative of their interests; thus, they vote for parties that had not been previously represented in the parliament. This allowed for two minor political parties to pass ...

This is a response to both minor shifts and qualitative transformations facilitating the adaptation of an economy to new conditions. The scope and direction of structural shifts are usually assessed by analysing capital markets, namely the volume of investment and its breakdown ...
