«Цветная революция» в качестве недавно изобретенного инструмента «мягкой силы» применялась в основном в странах Восточной Европы для того, чтобы изменить существующие властные структуры и для привлечения новых лидеров и партий, более соответствующих требованиям западных проектов развития. Технологии «цветных революций» были успешно реализованы в Сербии, Киргизии, Грузии. Они были опробованы в Украине в 2004 г., а также в 2013 г. без достижения планируемых конечных результатов. В числе основных последствий «цветных революций»: состояние экономического хаоса, уподобляющее страну «несостоявшемуся государству», и приход к власти ярых сторонников антироссийских сил. «Цветная революция» 2014 года, осуществленная по образцу прежних сценариев, является объектом анализа в данной статье. ; 'Color revolution' has been a newly invented device within the context of 'soft power' applied to mostly East European countries in order to change the existing government and power structure and to bring in new leaders and parties that would be more pliable to the demands of the Western development projects. 'Color revolutions' have been successfully played out in Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia. They have been tried in the Ukraine in 2004 and 2013 with missed results. Usually they leave the country in the state of economic chaos resembling the 'failed state' paradigm, but they give power to virulent anti-Russian force. The 'color revolution' in Kiev 2014 performed on a pattern similar to events before, is an object of analysis in this article. In my article, I show a close relationship between leaders of 2014 Kiev Euro-Maydan, from the one hand, and U.S. and European governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as with Western intelligence agencies, from the other hand. Given this fact, Russia''s position should be seen as a reaction of the peace guarantor (and guarantor of multipolar world), which is the only remaining one in the Western geopolitical space.

Говорится о необходимости творческого осмысления гуманистических идей А.Довженка в связи с развитием современного украинского киноисскуства. ; Problem. Another anniversary of any Ukrainian artist encourages us to leave our current affairs and to understand the unique artistic heritage of the people who wrote the letters of gold in the constellation of the Ukrainian elite. An important place among them is occupied by a prominent Ukrainian film director and innovator, a writer and artist Olexander Dovzhenko. In September this year we marked 120 years since his birth. His work and artistic heritage is an era in the Ukrainian Soviet cinema. It was the most difficult period in the history of the national culture, the so-called period of the socialist realism.Dovzhenko's activity deserves careful study, especially the crucial role of cinema, which forms the consciousness of millions. These studies are particularly important for the current state of the Ukrainian cinema, which has a solid legacy, but now it hardly shows the signs of life.It is necessary to study thoroughly the inheritance of the genius Ukrainian artist because of the urgent tasks of the Ukrainian statehood and culture. In our opinion, the study of O. Dovzhenko's art and life can contribute into the development of the national idea, which is realized in the inspired creations of the artist.The aim is to analyze the creative heritage of O. Dovzhenko and the possibility of its use in connection with the important tasks of modern Ukrainian culture. Analysis of the publications. Among generalizing papers on O. Dovzhenko of modern period the researches by A. Zamlynsky and M. Palienko dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth can be mentioned. Among the articles in the current periodicals thorough works by L. A. Bryukhovetska, R. Korogodsky, L. Pryhorovska, J. Trymbach, A. Sharvark, A. Yaremchuk can be distinguished. Little-known archival materials were used in these publications. Noteworthy methodical work by A. Matosova in which the materials from the recently opened to the public«Diary» by O. Dovzhenko is of great interest. Also, in our opinion, a worthwhile thorough analytical article was published in the newspaper «Day» by well-known Ukrainian writer and philosopher S. Grabowsky.Conclusions. It has long been undisputed that creativity by O. Dovzhenko, filled with love for Ukraine and its people, gained immortality. And it belongs not only to Ukraine but for the whole world because it is organically combined with the national culture and the world one. Despite the fact that the main period of the artist's work took place in the period of the socialist realism in the USSR, Ukrainian cinematography genius went far beyond it. His worldview, identity of his dramatic and directing style, poetry, emotion, creating his own film school put him in a number of the greatest artists of the Ukrainian and world cinema.But for us, the citizens of Ukraine, it is important also that O. Dovzhenko was not only a talented artist. Ranked a high place in the Soviet cultural elite, he not only observed the deficiencies of the system, but also he tried to pay attention to the needs of the ordinary people (the government regarded them as «screws»), defended the need for a true study of history and national education. Humanistic ideas of our talented cultural leader have not lost their relevance. He is truly an artist with a capital letter, Ukraine.is proud of himThus, the 120-year anniversary of O. Dovzhenko's birth is a good opportunity to pay attention of the responsible citizens of our homeland to the problems of modern Ukrainian cinema, as a powerful means of education, promotion of the Ukrainian national idea, attracting masses to the culture using the samples of high art.

В статье автор акцентирует внимание на сложных условиях трансформационного периода в Украине.

Но если Польша, Болгария, Словакия высказались за скорейшее присоединение Украины к еврозоне, то Германия, Франция, выставляя политические барьеры, не желая вступать в спор с Россией, видят такое присоединение в отдаленной перспективе. ; In the article an author accents attention on the difficult terms of transformation period in Ukraine. In particular an author excepts for internal reasons which draw distortion of transitional period defined external reasons and selected the external threats of economic security, which create other countries, showing an impure and unconscientiously competition on post-soviet space. In the articles there are the exposed principal reasons and difficulties of transitional period, which are caused including by geographical position of Ukraine.

But, if Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, spoke out for the most rapid tacking of Ukraine to the euro area, Germany, France, proposing political barriers, not wanting to enter into a dispute with Russia, see such joining in a remote prospect.

Обращается внимание на то, что в работах западных исследователей прослеживаются противоречивые оценки Украины. С одной стороны, ей придается важнейшее геополитическое значение в связи с уникальным расположением. С другой стороны, такое положение Украины расценивается как неустойчивое, что лишает ее возможности быть значимым политическим игроком.

SUMMARY:
Andryi Portnov claims that the Ukrainian intellectual context does not favor the national discussion of Bartov's Erased that would resemble the Polish discussion of Neighbors (by Jan Gross) or the German discussion of Hitler's Willing Executioners (by Daniel Goldhagen). In Ukraine, there is no tradition of writing and talking about the Holocaust, and the discursive field of World War II history is dominated by the old Soviet and new heroic national narratives, or – most interestingly – by their synthesis. Most studies of Jewish extermination on the territory of present-day Ukraine are written in English or in German and remain inaccessible to the Ukrainian-language audience. Erased , in Portnov's view, shows the limitations of direct "translation" into the Ukrainian social reality of the standard Western tropes of Holocaust writing. Portnov contrasts the categorical nature of Bartov's conclusions to the limited geographical and historical scale of his analysis (not to mention his poor use of Ukrainian-language sources). Still, Portnov believes that a willingness to accept Bartov's conclusions can push Ukraine beyond the colonial-postcolonial deadlock.

Рассмотрены модели постсоветской интеграции двух стран восточноевропейского пограничья, Украины и Беларуси, демонстрируемые правящими элитами этих стран. Противоречивость политических стратегий этих стран обусловлена их геополитическим положением восточноевропейского пограничья, двойственностью культурно-исторического наследия, наличием разных сил влияния в каждой стране. Выявленная противоречивость отразилась в результатах опросов общественного мнения указанных стран. ; The author discusses the divergent models of post-soviet integration of two countries of Еastern European borderland, Belarus and The Ukraine, embodied in the politics of their ruling elites. Contradictory nature of these political strategies is determined by geopolitical situation of both states, duality of their cultural and historical heritage, and the existence of different groups of power in each of them. The revealed contradiction of such strategies was reflected in the results of public opinion surveys in both countries.
