In The Demise of Marxism-Leninism in Russia , distinguished specialists chart the rise of new thinking on the Soviet system and the decline and fall of Marxism-Leninism in the late Soviet period. They also discuss the failure of Marxism-Leninism to make a comeback in post-Soviet Russia. This book makes a significant contribution to understanding the independent importance of ideas in politics and provides clear analyses of the rise of liberal and social democratic thought about the political system, the economy, international Communism, nationalism and federalism.

Dubai is one of the most popular tourist destinations. It is famous for the VIP service, amazing beaches, outstanding architecture, and active nightlife. Due to the current COVID situation, many tourists wonder if they can easily come to Dubai or any vaccination is necessary. Let's try to figure this out and take a look at some of the most popular vaccines that are available today. Traveling to Dubai in 2021 You will be happy to know that Dubai is open for tourists in 2021. There are no severe limitations or restrictions. Thus, you can rent a car from https://renty.ae/, go to your favorite shipping mall, or even party in your favorite nightclub.

If the tourist does not have such a certificate, he will need to pass the analysis at the Dubai airport. On top of that, tourists undergo a temperature check at the airport. If any of the passengers have symptoms, the airport operator is eligible to ask a person to take another test even the one already has a valid certificate. If a tourist is found to have COVID-19, he must install the COVID-19 DXB application and be isolated for 14 days at home or in a government-provided room.

In: Brown, A. (2020). Deferred Heritage: digital renderings of sites of future knowledge production. in: Melhuish, C. and Benesch, H. (ed.) Co-curating the City: Universities and Urban Heritage Past and Future London UCL Press.
In visualising the heritage of the future, photo-realistic digital renderings of university developments serve a productive role in bringing their depicted content into being. Representing intended locations for the production of knowledge and the reproduction of social realities, such images possess a semiotic and affective role in relation to planning, promotion and the generation of capital and political will, and appear to accelerate past the messy but necessary processes of negotiation, construction, maintenance and even post-occupancy to represent a state of idealized completion before the fact. In borrowing the appearance of the photographic but also elements of its truth function (Tagg, 1988), photorealistic architectural media assist in the manifestation of 'truths to be' via the agency of production processes characterised by the convergence of imaging, construction, and economic functions on networked platforms (Cheshire, 2017). If for K Michael Hays, architecture is now 'just part of the smooth media mix' (Hays, 2001), this could be argued to be an outcome of developments described by Tafuri which reduce it to a 'moment in the chain of technological production' (Tafuri 1998). The effects of the participation of the university in the industrialisation of the production of spectacular space has wider epistemological repercussions: heritage, amongst other forms of knowledge, is deferred, forever yet to be produced. This paper explores the agency of images that attempt to portray locations in which the future production of knowledge take place, in order to bring them into being.
A video of events in Syntagma Square in 2011, shows a swarm of points of green light, created by laser pointers directed at the architecture surrounding the square from within the crowd. A second still image with the word 'thieves,' constructed from an array of red dots, is again projected onto the wall of Parliament, the location of speech. The laser pointer, a device intended to trace the progress of speech, and reinforce the agency of the individual speaker in a static visual presentation, is repurposed in the context of civil disturbance to stigmatize the architects of crisis. It can equally be used to blind the agents of law and order. An implement of visibility and authority, a straight line emanating from the space of the logos, becomes implicated in the delineation and representation of the space of the public. This paper represents an attempt to explore and create continuities and discontinuities between the binding-together of individual lasers/pixels in an assemblage, the chaotic movement of the individual laser/pixel, and the concerted activity of people acting in solidarity or chaotic revolt. The paper is constructed in order to implicate the carrier signal – the page, the screen – in the network which founds and funds both order and its opposites, as itself an active agent and producer of its own collectivities.
