History of the formation of the komsomol and its inclusion in the new Soviet Stalinist State

The study of Soviet youth has long lagged behind the comprehensive research conducted on Western European youth culture. In an era that saw the emergence of youth movements of all sorts across Europe, the Soviet Komsomol was the first state-sponsored youth organization, in the first communist country. Born out of an autonomous youth movement that emerged in 1917, the Komsomol eventually became the last link in a chain of Soviet socializing agencies which organized the young. Based on extensive archival research and building upon recent research on Soviet youth, this book broadens our unders.

Abstract
The famous Pioneer camp 'Artek' was used by the Soviet Union to showcase socialism to upcoming generations. It was an iconic space where each summer 5,000 children from over 60 nations met to promote transnational cooperation and Soviet-led world peace. The article reconstructs American children's experiences who dared to break through the iron curtain to participate. It will examine how, and with what success, the participants' encounters challenged and shaped their perceptions of East and West, and how their actions fed into the upsurgence of citizen diplomacy that played a crucial role in ending the Cold War.

The article discusses the complex interaction between national mobilization during World War I and children. The focus is on children and teenagers living in Kyiv, a border region of the Russian Empire, who were amongst the first children to be affected by the war. The purpose of the study is to examine the ways in which children and adolescents were integrated into the military culture in the city during the general mobilization period and the very nature of their direct participation in this war. The materials of contemporary pedagogical research will be used to reconstruct children's experiences during that time as well as their emotional response to military culture in the first two years of the war.

"The Russian Revolution of 1917 has often been presented as a complete break with the past, with everything which had gone before swept away, and all aspects of politics, economy, and society reformed and made new. Recently, however, historians have increasingly come to question this view, discovering that Tsarist Russia was much more entangled in the processes of modernisation, and that the new regime contained much more continuity than has previously been acknowledged. This book presents new research findings on a range of different aspects of Russian society, both showing how there was much change before 1917, and much continuity afterwards, and also going beyond this to show that the new Soviet regime established in the 1920s, with its vision of the New Soviet Person, was in fact based on a complicated mixture of new Soviet thinking and ideas developed before 1917 by a variety of non-Bolshevik movements."--Provided by publisher.

Die Schwarzwildbestände in Deutschland liegen auf Rekordhöhe und wachsen – trotz hoher Jahresjagdstrecken – seit Jahren weiter an. Jagdpolitisch besteht das Ziel, diesen Anstieg zu stoppen und die Schwarzwildbestände deutlich zu verringern. Insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der drohenden Einschleppung der Afrikanischen Schweinepest (ASP) ist eine Reduktion dringend geboten. Der Lebendfang von Wildschweinen ist eine störungsarme Jagdart, die sich gut mit anderen jagdlichen Aktivitäten kombinieren lässt und die besonders eine jagdliche Option für Revierverhältnisse bietet, in denen das Schwarzwild ansonsten nur schwer zu bejagen ist bzw. derzeit nicht bejagt wird. Der sach- und tierschutzgerechte Einsatz von Schwarzwildfängen erfordert spezifische Sachkenntnisse sowie eine intensive und freiwillige Betreuung der Fanganlagen. Schwarzwildfänge sind nur dann zu empfehlen, wenn der Fangbetreiber bzw. seine Beauftragten über die erforderlichen Sachkenntnisse sowie ausreichende zeitliche Möglichkeiten der Betreuung für diese Jagdart verfügen. Besonders in Vorbereitung eines möglichen ASP-Ausbruchs ist es wichtig, das vorhandene Wissen um Schwarzwildfänge zu sammeln und zu kommunizieren, um im Ernstfall vorbereitet zu sein.
