Zachar Prilepin is a star in his homeland. His first novel, translated into German, was enthusiastically received in this country as well. Apparently, a crucial role in this reception is played less by the literary quality of his work than by his colourful personality. Prilepin is considered a 'leftwing radical' and staunch opponent of Vladmir Putin. In fact, he represents a populist mixture of nationalism, resentments, and Soviet nostalgia. Adapted from the source document.

Presents a translation of the Law of 22 Prairial adopted by France's National Convention in 1794, including the introduction by Couthon of the Committee of Public Safety who claimed that the reign of despotism was opposed to both ethical & natural truth. Couthon maintained that the revolutionary tribunal had become paralyzed & justice had become a "false religion that consisted entirely of dogmas, rites, & mysteries, from which moral doctrine was banned." He stated that the time has come to bring the tyrants to justice & then read all of the Articles of the law, including the revised composition of the revolutionary tribunal & a detailed description of enemies of the people "who seek to annihilate public liberty, either by force or by cunning." The penalty for all crimes handled by the revolutionary tribunal was death & proof for condemnation could include any verbal, written, or moral document that could "naturally persuade a fair & reasonable mind." Other articles of the law are described. Translation by Dan Edelstein & Christy Wampole. J. Lindroth

Questionnaire data derived from the 1995 module of the International Social Survey Program are drawn on to examine two dimensions of nationalist attitudes -- chauvinism & patriotism -- in 22 countries. Patriotism is the feeling of pride in one's people & country but with a critical understanding that can allow for other viewpoints & other peoples. Chauvinism, on the other hand, denotes blind acceptance of one's country & people as unique & superior. This latter, negative form of nationalism is likely to promote rejection of ethnic outgroups. Varying degrees of these two nationalist attitudes were found among the 22 countries, theorized to be mediated by ethnic competition, localistic orientation, contextual characteristics, & perceived ethnic threat. Cross-national analyses indicate a distinction between a country's patriotic vs chauvinistic nationalist attitudes in determining acceptance of ethnic outgroups. Tables, Figures. J. Stanton
