Military and political cooperation between Germany and Lithuania in the late 2010s to early 2020s
... towards Lithuania in the early 21st century, contributing to a decline in bilateral relations in 2014 and 2015. Amid the confrontation between the ‘Western democracies’ and Russia, Germany adopted a strategy of gradually but steadily increasing pressure on the opponent. The perception of this approach by Lithuanian elites has shifted from negative in the mid-2010s to increasingly positive as Germany has become more involved in deterrence of Russia. This article explores the process of the Bundeswehr ...
A new role of cooperation under economic sanctions as seen by residents of the Kaliningrad region
... substitution development prompted by the imposition of sanctions [8]. Considering the role cooperation has in increasing the economic capacity of territories, analysing the prospects of such economic models is relevant for Kaliningrad, a territory where pressure from anti-Russian sanctions has proven challenging. Enterprises with collective (popular) forms of ownership may serve as the most effective instrument for achieving the sustainability of the Baltic region territories [9].

This choice is determined by their significant role in the innovative development of the country, territorial proximity to the EU countries and associated higher geopolitical pressure. The St. Petersburg-Pribaltic region, characterized by advanced industry and innovation leadership, has traditionally been the front runner in ‘accepting’ and ‘transmitting' external innovations [6]. Current processes are steadily changing ...
The adaptation of Russian regions’ economies to the rupture of relations with Europe: the case of Baltic Sea ports
... German automobile company Opel by Russian buyers fell through. After the deal failed, there were many media reports saying that the reasons for the refusal were politically motivated.<4> General Motors, which controlled Opel at that time, under pressure from the American authorities, did not want to provide Russia with access to Opel technologies and patents, even though these technologies were mass-produced and could hardly be considered the most advanced and sensitive from the point of view ...
The flow of gas in a cylindrical channel at a subsonic speed
The article gives the account of steady flow of a perfect gas in a vertical channel having some other parameters set. The flow is supposed to be highspeed, subsonic and design, that is the gas pressure at the outlet equal to the pressure (back pressure), while the forces of gravity can be neglected. The boundary value problem is solves with the standard numerical method, the Mathcad in particular. The least squares method was used to find the ...

Although the threat of ‘losing Kaliningrad’ is still highly exaggerated, it is clear that those in the West who are calling for a tougher line against Moscow to force it to capitulate in Ukraine, openly view pressurizing Kaliningrad and creating as many difficulties for Russia as possible in the region as a major tool against it. First of all, because Kaliningrad is an ice-free port, the home base of the Baltic Fleet, and Iskander-M missiles are deployed ...

In the Kaliningrad region, which experienced the greatest external pressure, the ...
Interregional and cross-country flows of labor resources in the Kaliningrad region: factors and vectors in the contemporary Eurasian context

The need for temporary workers is filled mainly by immigrants from Uzbekistan. The labor market pressure by migrant workers remains below the national average. Intraregional migration is not dominated only by the centripetal forces, pulling the periphery's population into the Kaliningrad agglomeration, but also by centrifugal forces that determine ...
Towards a Theory of Barotropic Geostrophic Currents
... polar system is preferable for analysing geostrophic currents, since radial symmetry is intrinsic to these currents. We obtained ratios between the general hydrodynamic properties. The expressions of geostrophic current velocity components in terms of pressure were the most important among them. The procedure of deriving the expression of vorticity in terms of pressure was carried out. We determined that isobaths coincided with streamlines in stationary barotropic geostrophic currents. The radially ...

In the late 1930s in his teaching on microsociology, he introduced criteria of sociability, recording individual (intensity of the fusion of individual minds) and collective (the force of social pressure) aspects of the process of social development. Proceeding from these criteria Gurvitch developed a gradation of sociability, expressing it in the scheme “mass — community — communion” which enabled him to analyse the formation of collective ...
