politics

The man who dominated the mind of millions of people in many countries for more than a half of a century has left this world. A politician that influenced the world history process of the second half of the 20-th century. He outlived several Presidents of the USA and General Secretaries of the CPSU who even can’t be compared with him by the place they occupied in the history. You might not like him, but he can’t be recognized!

Franco Frattini., Crisis situations in the Mediterranean

World disorder” – it is the most suitable definition of the events that now take place in the Mediterranean Region. It’s remarkable that last year it was commemorated an anniversary of the Yalta Agreements of 1945, that had originated a new “world order”, and 70 years later the events occurring against the background of flashes in various “hot points” around the whole world make us to talk about a “world disorder”.

Sayamov Y., Project of the International University in Rome

An accentuated international character of the project combines with the traditions of Italian humanism used in the programs being elaborated and pedagogical experience of a famous Italian teacher, Augusto Romagnoli, who in the first half of the 20-th century by a strange quirk of fate worked in the building of the contemporary “Link Campus” university.

Ossipov Е., Crisis of the French socialism

Fortunately or unfortunately the today’s post-imperial and post-Soviet Russia has just begun with its self-determination. It’s rather difficult for the country existing in its contemporary hypostasis only for a quarter of a century to form a clear and convincing message to send “urbi et orbi” about its essence and how to implement it best in the surrounding world.

Rybas S., Rybas Е., Notes on the February Revolution

What was the Russian Empire in the beginning of the 20-th century? A great power rivaling with other great powers, but all the same – not the most industrially and financially developed one, with its people far from being the most educated and wealthy, with its elite already disrupted. Butiteconomicpotentialwasenormous. Cultural and scientific achievements were indisputable, enterprising groups – passionate, intellectuals – unselfish, in opposition to the Crown power and politically active.
