Thus, both approaches imply that Russia will effectively be unable to use its assets located within the jurisdiction of EU countries. The difference between them lies in that the radical scenario suggests that Western countries would take possession of Russia’s assets, transferring them to Ukraine (or retaining them for their own use to aid Ukraine). In the second scenario, EU countries would take possession of the income generated from the use of Russian assets, and in the long term,...

A century ago, when contemplating ‘powerful territorial possession’ (or, put in modern terms, the geopolitical determinants of national development) in the context of Russia, Veniamin Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky [19] described pivotal structures in the country’s space, which he termed ‘colonisation strongholds’....

The Mobius strip of the pragmasemantics of sense: from culture through subjectivity to nothingness and back
The author endeavors to systematically present sense formation through the lens of the pragmasemantic approach. It enables the demonstration of how the primary factors of sense formation, socio-cultural practices and personal agency interact. Their relationship is non-linear: subjectivity results from the assimilation of socio-cultural experiences and the accompanying narrative communication. Self-consciousness of the Self arises from the socialization of the individual through reflexive self-description...
