Cet article est centré sur un petit ensemble de maisons d’édition jeunesse russes, apparues entre 2003 et 2013, qui se réclament d’une position critique vis-à-vis de la « production de masse » commerciale des grandes maisons d’édition nationales. Leur portefeuille éditorial, ancré dans le marché mondial de littérature jeunesse, vise à promouvoir une littérature véhiculant des « valeurs humanistes » afin de populariser l’idée de « citoyen d’un monde sans frontières ». L’article analyse les stratégies de légitimation utilisées par les fondateurs et fondatrices de ces maisons d’édition afin d’affirmer leur autonomie par rapport aux grandes entreprises et à l’État ; les oscillements de cet ensemble entre le pôle de l’édition restreinte et celui de la production commerciale ; la façon dont elles construisent et négocient leur présence tant sur le territoire national que sur le marché « occidental ». Fragilisées et menacées de répressions par le durcissement autoritaire du régime politique russe, les maisons d’édition étudiées jouent sur l’équilibre subtil entre confidentialité et renommée, en créant et en élargissant sans cesse des communautés de pensée qui incluent professionnels du livre et lectorat.

This forum focuses on the overlooked areas of the moment surrounding the nature and progression of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It brings together scholars of different disciplines, backgrounds, and locations to provide analyses of the Russian aggression from varying perspectives such as history, law, military studies, politics, and media and communications, to name a few, encouraging the authors to focus on intricacies to deliver a deeper analysis of the invasion. Each author offers a unique take on the analyses of the past and present. The forum has two aims. First, the collection raises the question "What did we miss?" and it aims to highlight the lack of attention by Western scholars to Russian perceptions of Western threats and the concerns of former Soviet countries regarding Russia's aggressive foreign policy. Second, the forum intends to start a conversation on different non-Western perspectives of thinking about the Russian invasion. The forum covers the events of the period from the beginning of the invasion up to July 2022, with some post-revision comments in the introduction and conclusion mentioning the events up to February 2023. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we focus on the image of Russia under Peter the Great in France during the early Enlightenment. We discuss Fontenelle's text Éloge du tsar Pierre Ier, written shortly after the death of this Tsar and commissioned by the French Academy. Our hypothesis is that this text formed the foundation in France of the myth of Peter the Great as the outstanding moderniser, leading the absolute majority of French philosophers after Fontenelle to actually recognise Peter the Great as a true hero of the Enlightenment. Our method is to analyse in detail the rhetorical devices contained in Fontenelle's text and to compare the laudatory image of Peter the Great created by them with the equally laudatory position of other French philosophers, including Voltaire. Our conclusion is that Fontenelle's juxtaposition of Russia before Peter the Great with the new Russia during his reign fits perfectly with the Manichean metaphor of light, typical of the Enlightenment, which must of necessity prevail over darkness.

L’article traite des noms de la Russie et de leur variation formelle dans les textes traduits en roumain au cours de la période prémoderne (1780–1830). Le nombre assez élevé des langues des textes-sources (français, allemand, italien, serbe, nouveau grec) a eu comme résultat une variation dénominative et formelle des noms étrangers dans ces traductions. Parmi les causes supplémentaires de cette variation se trouvent le manque de normes de traduction, les différents alphabets et systèmes phonétiques (latin, grec, roumain-cyrillique) en contact, l’influence des langues de culture (latin, grec), les formes traditionnelles préexistantes et le caractère des texte intermédiaires, à savoir des textes qui, à leur tour, sont des traductions de textes originaux. Ces facteurs expliquent la circulation simultanée de plusieurs choronymes désignant la Russie et leur manque de cohérence formelle. La variation formelle de ces choronymes dans les textessources entraîne souvent une variation dans les traductions roumaines (d’un texte à l’autre ou même à l’intérieur d’un même texte). Bien que la forme roumaine des noms ait généralement été influencée par la langue des textes-sources, les traits grecs apparaissaient fréquemment dans les textes traduits à partir de sources en écriture latine en raison du prestige culturel du grec à cette époque. Ainsi, dans le cas du nom Rusia, cette influence se ressent au niveau phonétique (Rosia), mais aussi au niveau suprasegmental (l’accentuation est paroxytonique au lieu d’être proparoxytonique). D’autre part, les traducteurs ne peuvent ignorer le lecteur et remplacent parfois les noms du texte-source en utilisant une expression dénominative traditionnelle roumaine (par exemple Împărăţiia Moscului et Ţara Moschicească pour Moscovia). Les noms de la Russie et leurs variantes dans la période prémoderne du roumain offrent une image des possibilités de transposition d’un nom propre dans le roumain de cette période et, en même temps, reflètent la caractéristique linguistique la plus importante du nom propre : l’association très forte entre le signifiant et l’entité nommée.

Scholars frequently associate vaccine hesitancy with the effects of neoliberalism, including healthism culture, intensive mothering ideology, and a decrease in institutional trust. This article contributes to the discussion by exploring this link outside of established democracies, in a society that diverges from liberal principles on both political and institutional levels. Using qualitative interviews with middle-class Russian mothers, I trace how their doubts about vaccination reflect the specificities of neoliberal parenting in the contradictory post-socialist context. Research findings show that the mix of statist and neoliberal trends in Russian welfare translates into parents’ different perspectives on (state) institutions. This heterogeneity, in turn, leads to variation in their vaccine hesitancy, with parents oscillating between civic and consumerist critiques. Disunity of views and political restrictions on grassroots activism hinder mothers’ open opposition to vaccination. However, my interviewees still demonstrate institutional agency. They exercise it by developing informal workarounds and navigating paid healthcare options. As mothers repeatedly enact those diverse solutions, they routinize vaccine-hesitant parenting scripts and stimulate the development of organizational niches for unvaccinated children at the margins of the established welfare system.

Depuis son élection en 2019, le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky travaille pour l’intégration de l’Ukraine à l’Union Européenne ainsi que son adhésion à l’OTAN. Ceci impliquerait l’intervention des pays membres de l’OTAN en faveur de l’Ukraine en cas d’agression militaire. Cependant, la Russie s’oppose à cette perspective étant donné l’impact géopolitique d’une telle décision. Elle craint donc une éventuelle adhésion ukrainienne à l’OTAN, qu’elle voit comme une organisation concurrente menaçant sa sécurité, ainsi que le rapprochement des anciennes républiques soviétiques d’Europe avec l’Union Européenne. Ainsi, pour faire face à la persistance de l’Ukraine, la Russie a depuis le 24 février dernier, lancé une série d’opérations militaires de grande envergure sur le territoire ukrainien. Aux yeux de l’Union Européenne qui a une politique étrangère et de la sécurité commune instituée par le Traité de Maastricht de 1992, l’intervention militaire russe en Ukraine déstabilise profondément l’ordre de sécurité international et européen. En réaction, le Conseil Européen a pris une multitude des sanctions à l’endroit de la Russie, en dépit desquelles la crise s’intensifie provoquant beaucoup de dégâts matériels et des lourdes pertes en vies humaines. C’est pourquoi l’objectif de notre recherche est d’analyser les forces et faiblesses de l’ONU dans le conflit russo-ukrainien.

Cet article est le résultat de ma réflexion, sur moi-même, sur ma ville, sur mon pays dans cette situation politique, militaire et culturelle qui est aujourd’hui la nôtre. Comme si j’étais retournée aux années de ma jeunesse, je me suis posé et reposé les mêmes questions obsédantes et incontournables : comment cela a-t-il pu arriver, aurions-nous pu, et en particulier moi, faire quelque chose pour éviter la catastrophe ? Quand ce pays qui, semblait-il, s’était résolument engagé sur le chemin de la liberté, a-t-il commis une erreur fatale ? Qu’avons-nous fait que nous n’aurions pas dû faire et, surtout, qui est ce « nous » ? Qui est ce « moi » ? Reste-t-il un avenir à ceux qui l’ont répudié si facilement, à leur propre insu, en faveur d’un présent illusoire, ensorcelé par un passé qui lui-même a été inventé par des idéologues en chambre ? Sont-ils nombreux, ceux qui, en Russie, approuvent la guerre, et où se trouvent les sources de notre résistance ? Qu’arrive-il à la langue, à la nature humaine ? J’évoque tout ceci en artiste et en être humain qui se trouve dans une situation critique. Ces réflexions m’ont pris trois longs mois depuis les chaleurs étouffantes d’août jusqu’aux journées les plus sombres de novembre, qui a été froid en Russie. Cet article est le journal de mes observations sur les choses de ce monde, sur les morts et les vivants, sur le mystique et le banal, sur les changements qui ont affecté Moscou et ses habitants au cours des derniers mois, sur le processus au terme duquel j’ai compris qu’il y avait deux « peuples de Russie », dont la mixtion est impossible, qui étaient ontologiquement hostiles et qui se sont rencontrés aujourd’hui à un croisement de routes, alors qu’ils suivent des directions opposées.

Current wargaming techniques are effective training and research instruments for military scenarios with fixed tools and boundaries on the problem. Control cells composed of officiants adjudicating and evaluating moves enforce these boundaries. Real-world crises, however, unfold in several dimensions in a chaotic context, a condition requiring decision-making under deep uncertainty. In this article, we assess how pedagogical exercises can be designed to effectively capture this level of complexity and describe a new framework for developing deeply immersive exercises. We propose a method for designing crisis environments that are dynamic, deep, and decentralized (3D). These obviate the need for a control cell and enhance the usefulness of exercises in preparing military and policy practitioners by better replicating real-world decision-making dynamics. This paper presents the application of this 3D method, which integrates findings from wargame and negotiation simulation design into immersive crisis exercises. We share observations from the research, design, and execution of "Red Horizon," an immersive crisis exercise held three times at Harvard University with senior civilian and military participants from multiple countries. It further explores connections to contemporary trends in international relations scholarship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Le destin des officiers russes pendant la Guerre civile est un champ d’étude toujours actif. L’auteur a constitué une base de données des officiers de la Marine, aux fins d’analyse prosopographique. Cette analyse statistique des biographies après 1917 permet de savoir précisément quel pourcentage d’officiers a rejoint tel camp politique, s’est abstenu de participer à la Guerre civile, a émigré ou est resté en Russie soviétique, quelle proportion a changé de camp, etc. On peut ainsi faire le point sur leurs engagements politiques de façon objective. Même si elle représente un pas en avant par rapport aux approches souvent partielles et partiales qui prévalaient dans l’historiographie, l’étude prosopographique et statistique n’a d’intérêt que si elle permet aussi d’interroger les motivations des acteurs, de détailler les facteurs, idéologiques ou de carrière, qui ont déterminé leurs choix politiques et d’en évaluer l’influence respective. Pour ce faire, cet article se concentre sur les officiers de marine qui étaient enregistrés à Petrograd en 1918, au moment de la dissolution de l’ancienne marine impériale par décision du nouveau pouvoir bolchevique.

This article discusses places and historical circumstances where religious freedom is generally protected by governments, including their judicial systems, and contrasts this with examples where such is not the case. Societal conditions contributing to religious freedom derived from theorizing on the 'sociology of religious freedom' are discussed, focusing on the characteristics of legal systems. Included is an application of sociology of law theories concerning how minority religious groups sometimes prevail in legal battles, followed by discussion of 'judicialization of religious freedom' concept. International legal systems and organizations that promote religious freedom are briefly described before discussing recent developments in the United States involving conflicts between the Supreme Court and Congress as well as the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), with its generally strong record concerning religious freedom. Russia and China, where religious freedom is severely limited or virtually nonexistent, demonstrate conditions not conducive to religious freedom, causing minority faiths to suffer severe consequences.

This article considers the place religion holds in post-Soviet Russian society, and most importantly, the case of the dominant Russian Orthodoxy. It shows that the gap between low everyday religiosity and high public profile of religion is the key to a specific Russian version of secularity. How religion's spectacular appropriation of physical and social space, up to the imaginative space of the national culture as such, does not cancel the strong counterweight of deeply ingrained secular cultural arrangements – either genetically linked to some European variations or specifically related to (post)communist experience.

Scenarios of future development pathways in the Arctic created by groups of experts and stakeholders are an effective way to identify and illustrate possible alternatives and options for this region based on anticipated environmental and socioeconomic changes. Although scenarios that assess development trajectories for the Arctic are becoming increasingly popular, there is a relative lack of regional perspective in foresight exercises devoted to the Russian Arctic. This article presents and discusses development scenarios for the Russian Arctic until 2050 that were built by a diverse group of academics, local officials, Indigenous leaders, and business representatives at a scenario workshop in Naryan-Mar, Russia. The scenarios focus on Russia's Arctic zone and incorporate future visioning of economic development, international cooperation with the West and China, shipping, human and social capital, and Indigenous Peoples' livelihoods in the context of climate change. We apply a novel circular-axial technique to s ynthesize and combine the 12 i nitially created thematic scenarios i nto four final cross-cutting integrated scenarios that describe alternative futures for the Russian Arctic by 2050: Harmonious Arctic, Self-Reliant Arctic, Resource-Dependent Arctic, and Forgotten Arctic.
