"This paper presents the results of an analytical project on the design and approbation of methodology for assessing and monitoring the measures taken by the government of the Russian Federation in response to the recent worldwide fiscal crisis. The paper is based on our analysis of about 100 measures initiated between October 2008 and March 2009 to support Russia's real economy. Within the scope of this analysis, we singled out the main beneficiaries according to industry and enterprise scale, and estimated the effects of the measures during the crisis and recovery phases. The paper also describes the major risks the Russian government will face as a result of implementing the aforementioned measures
and identifies the key problems and inconsistencies of the anti-crisis programme." (author's abstract)

Rebellion mit der Kamera : Die Tschechoslowakei der 1970er Jahre in Fotografien von Ivan Kyncl - - - Der Prager Fotograf Ivan Kyncl (1953-2004) erregte in den 1970er -Jahren internationale Aufmerksamkeit: Ihm gelang es, die Überwachungspraktiken der Geheimpolizei heimlich zu fotografieren und Aufnahmen in den Westen zu schmuggeln. Kyncl dokumentierte nicht nur die Verfolgung der tschechischen Dissidenten. Er zeigte auch den Alltag sozialer Randgruppen in der CSSR nach Niederschlagung des Prager Frühlings aus einer ideologisch "abweichenden" Perspektive gegen die ästhetische Normiertheit des Sozialistischen Realismus. Dieses Buch präsentiert darüber hinaus Knycls Theaterfotografien und Reportagen, die der Fotograf nach seiner Emigration nach London 1980 machte.
