Currently, targeted financial support of regions from the federal budget remains an urgent and important practice aimed at achieving social justice and economic development in Russia. This article analyzes the main directions of targeted financial support of the Republic of Adygea from the federal budget in 2023-2025. It has been established that the targeted inter-budgetary transfers received by Adygea from the federal budget are primarily aimed at the development of the social sphere, as well as priority sectors for the economy of the republic, including agro-industrial and tourist and recreational complexes. The conclusion is made that the volume and list of areas of financial support are not sufficient and corresponding to the real situation that the republic occupies among other subjects of the Russian Federation.

The entangled Holocaust history of Roma and Jews throughout "Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews, and the Holocaust", tells the untold stories of shared experiences and victimhood. Responding to "Who will tell the stories of the Romani Holocaust?", Joskowicz acknowledges Roma's sufferings and highlights the uneven position of Roma in their pursuit of justice, as well as the lack of recognition, unequal resources, and uneven memorialization. Additionally, the book reflects the attitudes and narratives that are still being integrated across Europe, about Roma. The author acknowledges that scholars, activists, and lobbyists recognized the Romani genocide but also critically approaches the Romani scholarship. "Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews, and the Holocaust", is an essential contribution to the Romani knowledge production and an invitation for Romani scholars and activists to engage further and question the past.

In this casenote, the judgments in DRV Intertrans and Verbraeken (Joined Cases C-410/21 and C-661/21) and Thermalhotel Fontana (Case C-411/22) are discussed. DRV Intertrans and Verbraeken concerned a case of alleged fraudulent A1 certificates for posted workers. The issue was that those A1 certificates were only provisionally, as opposed to definitively, withdrawn by the issuing institution. As a result, the referring court in DRV Intertrans and Verbraken asked the Court of Justice whether the courts of the Member State where the work was carried out could consider the provisional withdrawal of the A1 certificates by the issuing institution as rendering those A1 certificate non-binding. Alternatively, the referring court asked whether it could disregard those A1 certificates following the Altun jurisprudence of the Court of Justice. Thermalhotel Fontana involved isolation measures being imposed on frontier workers by their Member State of residence, making them unable to work. The specific legal issue at hand in Thermalhotel Fontana concerned the fact that the employer of those frontier workers was not able to get compensation from Austria, the Member State of establishment, for his employees due to the fact that the isolation measures were not taken by Austria but by the Member States of residence of the frontier workers. Considering that this case did not fall within the scope of Regulation 883/2004, the Court examined it under the principle of equal treatment of EU workers.

Der vorliegende Längsschnittvergleich des politisch-sozialen Systems der Niederlande und Österreichs im 20. Jahrhundert zeigt, wie ähnliche zivilgesellschaftliche Strukturen die Entwicklung der Demokratie auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise beeinflusst haben. In beiden Ländern entwickelten sich im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert ungewöhnlich stark segmentierte Zivilgesellschaften. Vereine, Medien und Bildungseinrichtungen waren aufs engste an das Milieu der konfessionellen und politischen "Säulen" (in den Niederlanden) bzw. "Lager" (in Österreich) gebunden, die untereinander kaum in Austausch traten. Der Autor belegt die These, dass es signifikante Unterschiede zwischen der niederländischen Versäulung und der österreichischen Lagerstruktur gegeben haben muss, die als Ursache dafür gelten, dass die Gruppen der niederländischen Gesellschaft, bei aller prinzipiellen Differenz, sich auch unter schwierigen Umweltbedingungen an die Spielregeln hielten, während Österreich in einen Bürgerkrieg driftete.
