Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has highlighted the problems of the Japanese academic discourse on Ukraine. This essay has two purposes. First, it describes how Russia's invasion has altered Tokyo's official policies and public discourse by driving away Russian disinformation and propaganda narratives while articulating the multiple chasms among academics regarding Ukraine and Russia. Second, it highlights the embedded assumptions commonly seen in many researchers dealing with post-Soviet space: Russia-centred ontology (e.g., "Ukraine is a periphery of Russia", "fraternal nations") and counterhegemonic epistemology that blames the collective West for "Russophobia."

The article examines the artistic embodiment of Victor Pelevin's view on the historical transition of Russia from the era of wild capitalism to the era of vertical power. The author concludes that in Pelevin's image of Russia of the noughties, despite the existing legal institutions, their capacities are unable to satisfy citizens' demands for justice. It is not laws but mystical practices associated with the magic of numbers, including those associated with the ancient Chinese book of divination, the I Ching. Pelevin guesses the tendency for Russia to turn to the East.

In the wake of Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea, US president Barack Obama infamously called Putin's Russia "a regional power […] threatening some of its immediate neighbours, not out of strength but out of weakness. […] The fact that Russia felt it had to go in militarily and lay bare these violations of international law indicate[d] less influence, not more." Obama's words reportedly angered Putin, who had long striven to convince the West, and primarily the USA, to treat Russia as a geopolitical equal. Being considered a regional power fundamentally denied equality with superpowers such as the USA.

In this paper, we examine the price discovery patterns in the three BRICS countries' stock index futures markets which were launched after 2000 – China, India, and Russia. We find the futures market dominates the price discovery process in China and India, but less so in Russia. A closer examination reveals the dynamic nature of the price discovery process, and the significant impacts on futures' price discovery functions from China's regulatory changes in September 2015 and Russia's economic sanctions in March 2014. The results also show a more balanced and bidirectional volatility spillover between futures and spots in China and India than in Russia.

In September, Russia made another effort to negotiate the nonmilitary use of cyberspace with the United States. Predictably, Washington rejected the proposal, despite admitting the urgency of the issue and the need to find a consensus solution with Moscow. The problem is not new: Russia has insisted on establishing common cyber norms in the United Nations for a long time, while the US has reserved the right to develop its own military cyber capabilities and blocked all Russian initiatives. With the stakes raised dramatically, Russia and the US have to find a way to agree on cybersecurity.

AbstractDuring the eighteenth century, Germans from the Hessian county of
Hanau-Münzenberg emigrated westward to the American colonies, and
east to Hungary, Russia, and other parts of Europe. Using new
emigrant data, I examine their age, occupation, and emigration
strategies. Those who settled in Pennsylvania were the richest of
these emigrants, more likely to travel as intact families and the
most networked. The poorest were the Hessians who went to Russia,
mostly in 1766. A large percentage of the Hanau-Hessians settled in
Pennsylvania, suggesting that eighteenth-century German emigration
to Hungary and Russia has possibly been overestimated.

Since the beginning of the Syrian War, ties between Russia and the Shia sphere are primarily examined in terms of geopolitics, while little attention is being paid to the indigenous as well as immigrant Shia populations in Russia itself. Depending on the motives and circumstances that brought and bring various individuals and groups to more actively-professed Ja'fari Shi'ism, these can become the most active champions of its cause, or of social movements inspired by this persuasion. As such, the Shia element in Russia might become more relevant and present than its low-profile minority state suggests.

States that for centuries cultures of Russia and Iran have been developing on the basis of close contacts. Nowadays cultural interaction between Russia and Iran is an important component of their partnerships; however it develops at a much slower rate, especially if compared to political contacts. The inadequate images of Russia in Iran and of Iran in Russian society together with some others factors make the partnership of both countries rather limited. The active cultural dialogue is to contribute to improving this situation, finding areas of joint interest and restoring mutual confidence.

This article aims to identify the changes in institutions and discourses resulting from global/local interaction in social work in today's Russia. We consider the contribution of international co-operation to the development of local institutions and discourses, focusing on emerging discrepancies and contradictions between international and local actors.
