dc.description.abstract

value:
After the unification of North and South Yemen into a single state in 1990, some Yemeni
writers tried to rethink in a literary form the country’s recent past, which was presented in
the literature of the previous period in an ideologically embellished form. One of the first
authors to do so was Habib Saruri, a Yemeni-born computer scientist who lives permanently
in France. In his first novel, The Ruined Queen (1998), he described the life of South Yemen
in the first half of the 1970s, during the period of active implementation of the theory of
scientific socialism in the country. The success of the novel encouraged Saruri to continue
writing, and to date he has published nine novels. In most of his works, the writer focuses on
the sociopolitical transformations that Yemen has gone through over the past half-century,
including the socialist experiment of the 1970–80s and the civil war of 1986 in the South, the
consequences of this war for the losing side, the process of rapprochement and unification of
the two parts of Yemen, the civil war of 1994 in the united Yemen and its consequences for
the South, the spread of radical Islamism, the revolution of 2011 and further political chaos,
the Houthis’ attempt to capture Aden in 2015, and the current military campaign of the Arab
coalition against the Houthis. Saruri treats the events of Yemen’s modern history boldly and
straightforwardly, in a manner characteristic of a columnist, and most of his works resemble
journalism, presented in the form of a novel. This article examines the picture of the modern
history of Yemen presented in six of Saruri’s novels: The Ruined Queen (1998), Damlan (2004),
The Bird of Destruction (2005), Suslov’s Daughter (2014), The Grandson of Sinbad (2016), and
Revelation (2018).

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the past 70 years, Chinese-Russian relations have reached an unprecedentedly high level.
The People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation, in the spirit of neighborliness,
friendship, and cooperation, are developing comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation in this new era to raise bilateral relations to a new and higher level. The high-level
interaction mechanisms established between Russia and China have played a crucial role in
achieving new ambitious goals and long-term benchmarks for cooperation. Judicial cooperation has broad development prospects as an important guarantee for interaction in areas that
are truly important for both countries. The strengthening of judicial cooperation between
Russia and China, on the one hand, promotes the conjunction and adaptation of various institutional arrangements involving mutual trade, investment, and economic cooperation, such
as trade and investment rules, technical standards, and legal bases between countries. Cooperation also provides a basis for the development of relevant uniform rules. On the other hand,
it also helps to improve the level of foreign-related legal services, including lawyers, notaries
and mediation, to ensure the free flow of various elements between different economies, to
help small and medium-sized enterprises operate in full compliance with the law and resolve
disputes. In order to serve the needs of participants in international trade between Russia and
China, promote the policy of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the construction of the “Silk Road Economic Belt”, it is possible to improve the level of special foreign-related
legal services, create legal service platforms, build an experienced international legal services
team, and establish one more mechanism of judicial cooperation under the unique, effective
mechanism of regular meetings between the heads of the Russian and Chinese governments.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Fiscal crime in its essence is certainly one of the most dangerous, anti-state phenomena, which
constitutes a genuine threat to the entire population of a country. Disturbing opinions on the
part of Slovak society regarding the lack of threats to the country’s safety, despite fiscal crimes,
cannot be ignored without a reaction from the institutions and state organs as well as aware
citizens. Taxes, which played one of the most important roles in economic systems throughout
history due to the obligatory cash tributes provided to the ruler and later to the state, are now
a basic source of income for state budgets and are regarded by many taxpayers as a necessary
evil that must be avoided by any means possible. Significant improvement in the level of activities related to the prevention, identification, and detection of tax delicts has been underway
since 2012, which involved the creation of the Tax Administration as a result of the merger
of two institutions: Customs Administration and Tax Administration. The article clarifies the
legal analysis of the provisions supporting institutions in the fight against tax crime and it
presents types of tax crimes in the Slovak Penal Code, using statistical data as well as institutions authorized to combat tax crimes in the Slovak Republic.

value:
The article deals with the main trends and debatable issues in the Ukrainian historiography
of Perestroika. The author establishes a connection between the prevailing ideas about the
place of Soviet statehood in the history of Ukraine and the role of Perestroika in it. The totalitarian paradigm dominant in Ukrainian historiography is analyzed, according to which:
1) the reforms were unable to correct the Soviet communism whose collapse was imminent;
2) as a result of the collapse of the Soviet empire the peoples were given the opportunity to
create national states and return to the “road of civilization” — to a market economy based
on private property. The concepts of the system crisis of the Soviet model of socialism and the
transformation of perestroika as a “revolution from above” into the national revolution during
the Ukrainian national revival are considered. The article pays a particular attention to the
coverage of the role of Ukraine in the disintegration of the USSR in the historiography since
the position of the situational union of sovereign communists and nationalists at the time
of the conclusion of the Belovezhsky agreements rested on the will of the people — the AllUkrainian referendum. Russia and Belarus did not conduct referendums on independence. It
has been established that Ukrainian historians have concentrated on studying certain aspects
of Perestroika, mainly related to Ukraine. They concern the Ukrainian national, linguistic,
cultural and ecclesiastical revival, the activities of the national-democratic opposition. Many
aspects of Perestroika (economic reforms, foreign policy, social history, the history of everyday life) in Ukraine are almost not researched at all.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The aim of the article is to analyze the attempts to conceptualize post-Soviet regime changes that have been undertaken over the past thirty years. For convenience, all concepts are
grouped around three main approaches. The first one examines regime transformations in
the former USSR from the point of view of a possible transition to democracy (transition
paradigm); the second approach emphasizes the continuity between the post-Soviet political regimes and previous ones, overlooking fundamental differences between them; the third
approach assumes that the post-Soviet transition did take place, however, it was “autocracyto-autocracy transition” (from one-party communist dictatorship to hybrid regimes or consolidated personalistic autocracies). The author considers regime change as transformation of
some basic formal and informal rules of the game that determine the functioning of a given
political system (from the way of making key decisions and allocating resources to the main
channels for recruiting to the elite). As a result, the author proves that the third approach is the
most relevant for understanding post-Soviet politics. Inter alia, its advantage is that it allows
us to fit post-Soviet studies into the wider field of comparative political science: the analysis
of post-Soviet politics, on the one hand, can significantly enrich our ideas about “how dictatorships work” at large, on the other hand, empirical knowledge about autocracies outside
post-Soviet Eurasia and theories built on this basis will help us to understand the nature of
authoritarianism in Russia’s “near abroad”.

value:
The article evaluates the “New Northern Policy” of Moon Jae-in’s administration. Based on
the evaluations, geopolitical risk management strategies of the Northern Policy, essential and
feasible tasks and projects, and a guideline to establish cooperative governance are proposed.
The characteristics of the New Northern Policy under Moon Jae-in’s leadership are as follows:
1) the idea of connecting the Republic of Korea with the continent through North Korea is
more important task of the New Northern Policy than that of participation in the Eurasian
integration process; 2) at the moment, the New Northern Policy cannot overcome geopolitical restrictions and it can be compared to a car equipped with a powerful noisy engine, which
however cannot be moved; 3) due to many difficulties, it seems that the current administration
may have fewer motivating factors to implement the New Northern Policy than to promote
the New Southern Policy. To succeed in the New Northern Policy, the following tasks must be
completed: finding a reasonable answer to Western sanctions against Russia and North Korea;
actively promoting mini-lateral cooperation; establishing the Northeast Asian Development
Bank with the participation of the United States, Japan, Russia and China; connecting the
regulation of the North Korean nuclear issue to the creation of the “Northeast Railway Community”; strengthen the platform for successful implementation of the New Northern Policy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
BRICS as a forum of the largest developing economies is at the center of the global contemporary political process. There are ongoing debates for more than a decade on the reasons for
the establishment and the ways of assessing the efficiency of BRICS. Two major theoretical
perspectives in the international political economy (IPE), namely economic nationalism and
liberalism, have opposing views on many aspects of these debates. They emphasize the search
for common interests, which places the five BRICS states into a single forum, and find a lack
of shared values/interests, which inevitably leads to a collapse of the forum in the near future.
This article puts forward the following hypothesis: the original willingness of BRICS members
to transform the architecture of international finances to the profit of developing nations has
been replaced recently by a desire to preserve some of the attractive features of todays’ global
economy (low trade barriers, monetary stability, and free movement of investment) in the
context of the decline of US hegemony. Today, BRICS member states share China’s intention to
ensure the liberal nature of the international trading system while strengthening state control
of public life according to the “embedded liberalism” model. To substantiate the hypothesis,
the authors apply ideas from the neo-Marxist school of IPE, which is currently experiencing
its renaissance.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Dominant security theories, being mostly Western by their origin, are concentrated on the
Western experience and security models, with minimal attempts to analyze the postcolonial
security landscape of the global “South” which heavily affects the security agenda. The predominant part of modern conflicts (with some exceptions) take place precisely in the developing countries of the global South Western and non-Western approaches to security are
distinguished by an expanded (comprehensive) understanding, but in both cases the emphasis
is different. Various readings of security create a conflict of perception and, according to many
non-Western experts, reflect the Western strategy to initiate a new colonization. At the same
time, neither Western understanding nor alternative non-Western critical security theories
can claim to be universal. The article describes the dynamics of theoretical approaches to
the conceptualization of security, mainly in the context of the dominant Western school of
International Relations, demonstrates and explains the marginality of non-Western security
issues, and provides an overview of key security issues and threats to the developing world.
In addition, relatively new Western concepts of security (humanitarian intervention, human
security, responsibility to protect) are being analyzed, which cause strong opposition from the entire developing world and are perceived by non-Western societies as a direct threat. The
weakness of the “postcolonial” states, their apparent inability to cope with internal development problems and disorders, and to ensure the safety of the population within their borders,
serve as a reason for becoming an object of political influence and interference. At the same
time, the West and the non-West are making efforts to speak the same political language of
security because of the indivisibility of the current threats. However, the Western practice of
world regulation is rejected by the developing world, especially by rising powers. Considering
the weight and significance of “the rest of humanity” in such conditions, it is difficult to hope
for a rational dialogue on global issues if the discourse, interests, and ambitions of the two
poles differ considerably.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article aims to examine the performance of trade and investment since the diplomatic
normalization of relations between the Russian Federation (RF) and the Republic of Korea
(ROK) and also suggests further areas for the development of economic cooperation between
the two countries. The volume of trade between the two countries in 2019 has grown 116-fold
compared to 1992. To increase trade volume, it is necessary to increase intra-industry trade
to improve the mutual relationship. The direct investment of Korea into Russia has been increased, as well as diversified in different sectors. Korea’s total investment in Russia is approximately 2.75 billion USD, which is relatively small compared to investments made by Korea
globally. Korea’s New Northern Policy seeks to strengthen cooperation with Russia. Korean
companies must reevaluate the strategic importance of Russia. The lesson learnt from the
previous experience of overcoming past crises is, first, to believe in the potential and capabilities of the Russian economy and market. The development of the Far East and the Arctic has
made Russia’s energy supply chain more stable and flexible in responding to changes in the
energy market. In addition, Russia is also becoming the center of the 4th Industrial Revolution thanks to its advanced scientific and technological capabilities, as well as the revival of its
manufacturing industry. To advance economic cooperation between Russia and Korea, Korea
has to invest in Russia’s global energy supply chain and participate in the formation of a global
value chain in a certain industry by combining Russian advanced science and technology with
Korean product development planning and global marketing capabilities. Specifically, The Far
East, Arctic Development, and Triangle (or Quadrangle) Cooperation among ROK-DPRKRussia (-China) will provide significant opportunities to Korean companies.

value:
This article analyzes the recent evolution of Brazilian-Russian relations, with an emphasis on
their interaction within the BRICS group. The authors claim that beyond the changes and uncertainties in global world order throughout the second decade of the 21st century, the evolution of Brazilian foreign policy, following the internal political conjectures in Brasilia, impacted not only the bilateral relations with Moscow, but also affected qualitatively its participation
in the informal grouping. Political turmoil started in the South American nation in 2013 and
the eventual impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016 clearly marked a fundamental change
in Brazil’s global orientation. Brazil abandoned its autonomist and soft revisionist stance on
global affairs that characterized the Lula da Silva (2003–2010) and Rousseff (2011–2016) presidencies, and embraced a pro-US perspective, which became even more pronounced after the
rise of Jair Bolsonaro in 2019. The article also addresses some prospects on possible paths of
cooperation between Brasilia and Moscow in the near future and implications for neighboring countries, especially Argentina and Venezuela (the Venezuelan crisis as a factor of BRICS
development is also considered).

value:
The current international legal regulation of the Arctic and Antarctica was organized during
the second half of the XX century to establish an international public power over the two regions, the Arctic Council (AC) and the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), which is characterized
by Euro-American dominance. However, the rise of emerging countries at the beginning of
the XXI century suggests a progressive redefinition of the structural balance of international
power in favor of states not traditionally perceived as European and Western. This article examines the role of Brazil within the AC and the ATS to address various polar issues, even institutional ones. As a responsible country in the area of cooperation in science and technology
in the oceans and polar regions in BRICS, Brazil appeals to its rich experience in Antarctica
and declares its interest in joining the Arctic cooperation. For Brazil, participation in polar
cooperation is a way to increase its role in global affairs and BRICS as a negotiating platform.
It is seen in this context as a promising tool to achieve this goal. This article highlights new
paths in the research agenda concerning interests and prospects of Brazilian agency in the
polar regions.

value:
The author carries out a discourse analysis of journalistic articles by well-known Russian emigrant
historian, theologian, and public figure Anton Kartashev in order to understand his attitude to the schisms of the
Russian Orthodox Church caused by the Russian Revolution, and to clarify his methods for shaping his readers’
perceptions of these events. This analysis reveals a complex correlation of political, religious, and historical argumentation. From the very beginning, political arguments were pushed into the background by a statement of
apolitism, which initially extended to Russian emigrants. Subsequently, he abandoned apolitism as a principle
of activity in exile in order to consistently pursue a policy of intransigence with the Bolsheviks. Political argumentation remained in the background compared to historical and religious facets, since the church should not interfere in politics. He consistently historicized contemporary experiences, based on a historical perspective,
to give an assessment of the political orientation and concrete actions of the hierarchs. This created an illusory
opportunity to maintain the legal subordination to the Moscow Patriarchate, which increasingly depended on the
Bolshevik regime. He saw the post-revolutionary history of the Russian Orthodox Church as a series of schisms
that weakened it. This gradually brought a precise religious argument to the forefront in substantiating specific
measures to preserve the canonical structure of Western European parishes headed by the Metropolitan Eulogius, at the break with the Synod of Bishops in Sremski Karlovtsi and with the Moscow Patriarchate.

value:
This article presents a study of daily life of the Soviet elite, the leading people of the Leningrad City
Council (P.F.Ladanov, N.I.Smirnov) and the Leningrad Regional Council (I.P.Petrov, V.N.Ponomarev, G.I.Vorobyov) in 1950–1956. A historical analysis of emotions makes it possible to rethink the era by answering such
questions as: Whom the Soviet elite did love, and whom did they fear during the period of late Stalinism and the
beginning of the “Khrushchev thaw”? What was the official behavior of a state leader? How and under what circumstances did non-politicized emotions arise? The study is based on sources of a personal origin: materials of
official speeches, published and unpublished reports, materials of personnel files (including autobiographies),
photo documents and sound documents, and memoirs of contemporaries. Additionally, office documents
(transcripts of meetings, plenums, meetings, council sessions) deposited in the archives of St. Petersburg and
Moscow associated with the activities of local government in Leningrad and the oblast were studied. The period
1950–1956 was when new, loyal managers were appointed to “empty” posts after the Leningrad Affair. One of the
main tasks that confronted them in the first period was completing work on identifying “anti-party” elements in
their ranks. In the leadership structures there was an atmosphere of suspicion and denunciation. Finally, tracing
aspects of the transformation of these leading cadres at the beginning of the Thaw provides curious insights.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes contemporary Russian historiography on the evacuation of indsutries during the
Great Patriotic War. Particular attention is paid to digital data cited by researchers about the number of industrial
enterprises from different economic sectors evacuated into the rear as one of the most important characteristics
of the USSR military economy. The absence of comprehensive work on the evacuation of material resources
into the country’s rear remains problematic. The article provides a comparison of central and regional studies of
Siberia, the Volga region, and the Urals. The conclusion is drawn on the significant successes of regional historiography in studying a number of problems in organizing the relocation and placement of industrial enterprises
in new places, commissioning, economic efficiency of evacuated industrial equipment, and consequences of
evacuation for strengthening the Soviet rear. The points under consideration concern the main achievements
and debatable issues in the study of industrial evacuation, as well as the characteristics of the prospects for this
scientific problem studying. The necessity of intensifying research on such aspects. Among these aspects are the
following: the influence of pre-war mobilization plans on the organization of evacuation during the war, identifying
the share of equipment losses during evacuation and explanations for such losses, the creation and functioning
of evacuation bases, the evacuation of design bureaus and their impact on modernization processes on evacuated factories, and the post-war fate of the evacuated equipment.

among leaders of different parties and strong discussions that took place within the same parties. In autumn
1917 the opportunity occurred for all socialist parties to create a single blog of forces on the Left. This issue had
been resolved in September during the Democratic Conference that potentially could easily establish a “homogeneous” socialist power. However, after prolonged debate, the Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries preferred an alliance with the Liberals. Temporary hopes for a peaceful union and creating a homogeneous socialist
government during the meeting was not meant to be. The hope for uniting all socialist forces in Russia again took
place again at the end of October, right before the opening of the second meeting of the Soviets. Unfortunately,
after a hostile discussion, the Mensheviks and SRs left the meeting and thus gave an opportunity to the Bolsheviks to establish their power. The latest attempt to initiate negotiations of all democratic parties, in order to find a
compromise among them, was undertaken at the initiative of Vikzhel. The Bolsheviks were willing to compromise,
provided that the “controlling stake” in the government remained with them. The Mensheviks and SRs clearly
refused this offer, and compromise was not reached.

dc.description.abstract

value:
At the beginning of the 20th century, domestic military industry entered a new stage of development,
due to the evolution of scientific and technological progress that led to increasing complexity of weapons and military equipment. In addition, this stage was characterized by Russia’s participation in two wars: the Russian-Japanese War and First World War. All this significantly influenced the nature of development of military production:
its scale grew rapidly, and diversification intensified. One of the largest centers for Russia’s military industry was
St. Petersburg, where the largest factories for shipbuilding, artillery, ammunition, small arms, gunpowder, explosives, optical instruments, communications equipment, and other military products were concentrated. A special
stage in this development was the First World War, during which industry was mobilized. Due to mobilization, the
volume of military production in Petrograd increased significantly, and a significant number of large, medium, and
small civilian enterprises were attracted to military output. A number of various institutions and organizations in
Petrograd received production orders to produce certain types, ammunition and components for production of
military products and, in a short time, mastered their production. This process was interrupted by the revolutionary events of 1917, during which Russia plunged into a deep political and economic crisis.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article discusses how the Eastern Front’s Red Army solved the problem of food provision through
self-supply, which was carried out by soldiers and the regimental command using requisitions and purchasing
products from the local population. The emergence of this method was due to the inability of the front and army
command to fully provide troops with provisions, as a result of which the leadership was forced to partially impose
this task on the local regimental command, which often treated the organization of procurement and fight against
soldier robbery rather carelessly. Nevertheless, food quality for the Red Army improved, as evidenced by the
decrease in the number of marauding fighters. This was also facilitated by army command measures to improve
the level of soldier discipline. In the article much attention is paid to the evolution of the population’s attitude
to the procurement activity of soldiers and the regimental command. Despite the fact that initially the peasants
rather negatively perceived the presence of the Red Army in the countryside, subsequently residents of villages
began to show greater interest in cooperating with the troops, providing them with food, both on a voluntary and
a monetary basis. This policy was favored by the army command, aimed at regulating procurement operations
and maintaining good neighborly relations with the local population. Moreover, other means of obtaining food are
listed, such as capturing enemy storage facilities at stations and in cities.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the situation in Petrograd University (St. Petersburg State University) which developed during the Russian Civil War. The University was one of the biggest centers of science and education
at the beginning of the First World War. The Bolsheviks’ coming to power was not accepted by professors and
students, and during 1917–1919 they awaited the fall of the Bolsheviks in Petrograd. Thus, the University corporation was an ideological enemy of the Bolsheviks. This antagonism further intensified during the realization of high
school reform by Narkompros. The University did not want to lose its autonomy; however, the Bolsheviks perceived it as a source of counterrevolutionary activity. This led to repression of University professors in 1919 during
the offensives of General Yudenich against Petrograd. Further, attention is paid to how the University community
perceived the Civil War. The infamous “philosophical steamboat” was the last act of state terror against the Petrograd University during the Civil War. The University became a symbol of an alternative to the reform of higher education, based on autonomy and opposed to the position of the Bolshevik authorities, that remained unrealized.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is based on oral historical sources and oral memories and examines the historical experience of the professional activities of Soviet women who worked in the train control service of the Belgorod
Branch of the Southern Railway (Ministry of Railways of the USSR) in the late 1960s and 1980s, as a form of
women’s leadership and gender equality formation (the erosion of male dominance) in the manufacturing sector.
Specifically, the influence of the profession (working conditions, content of daily work practices, working rhythm,
professional self-awareness) on the formation of a particular gender identity among women railway workers is investigated. An analysis of historical material makes it possible to supplement and significantly expand our understanding of how the “new type” of Soviet women, with an independent economic and social status, was formed in
the late Soviet period. The materials constitute the informational basis for preserving information about the labor
feats of women working at the railroad in the historical memory of Russian people; they open up new heroines,
whose personal and professional lives are the subject of the formation in modern society of a positive attitude
towards the female presence in the managerial segment of the engineering and technical sphere.

dc.description.abstract

value:
During 1941–1944 the German occupation and intelligence services created an extensive network
of training centers (schools and courses) in the occupied territories of the USSR. Mostly Soviet prisoners of war
were involved in reconnaissance and sabotage work, although a significant number of agents were recruited from
the civilian (non-military) population. First, people who were in active or passive opposition to the Soviet regime
were attracted: former emigrants, those repressed or dispossessed, ideological opponents, criminals, and others. At the same time, a significant number of agents were recruited from the civilian population who remained
in the occupied territories, especially from its most vulnerable categories (women and children). The recruited
agents were used to carry out reconnaissance and sabotage missions, both in the rear of the USSR and in parts
of the Red Army, and against the resistance movement. On the territory of the BSSR occupied by the Germans,
sixteen training centers were opened where saboteur children were trained, and more than twenty were opened
to train “agents in skirts”. Similar schools and courses were opened in Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic states. The
Soviet secret services and partisan counterintelligence bodies were well informed about such work of the German secret organs. The performance of agents trained from among the civilian population was low. There were
some tactical successes and actions by enemy agents (especially on the eve and during the period of punitive
operations), but strategically this work by the Germans actually failed.

This article addresses the Soviet pavilion at the World Exhibition in New York City, 1939, especially the
architectural and artistic image of the Soviet pavilion, including its search and implementation. Archiveal documents from the Soviet section of the International exhibition in New York, as well as professional periodicals of the
1930s, analyzed to interpret and evaluate the New York exhibition and the Soviet pavilion in the Soviet public field,
make up the main data base for the article. First, the competitive practices of the 1930s and their hidden mechanisms, ruled by party-state power, are shown through the case of the New York Pavilion. Further, the stylistic
peculiarities of the pavilion are considered, and ideas among the power circles about worthy forms of the “export”
representation of the USSR by architectural and artistic means are shown. With the example of an “Americanized”
style of the Soviet pavilion, the practice of appropriating alien architectural forms was demonstrated as a way to
emphasize the involvement of Stalinist culture in current global trends. Attention is also drawn to the contradiction
between official “internal” discourse, with its main thesis of turning to “classical heritage”, and the choice of a
modern language for “export” architecture.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article reconstructs the historical views of the leaders of the Soviet state, V.I.Lenin and I.V.Stalin, as an important component of their ideological projects. The comparison of their views on history is an
indicator of differences between the Leninist and Stalinist versions of Soviet ideology. The authors conclude
that the continuity of views on the history of Lenin and Stalin is maintained within the framework of the general
methodological platform of Marxism (formation theory, class struggle theory, adherence to the macrosocial
approach to history). Stalin developed a number of Leninist provisions regarding the understanding of history
and, above all, related to the combination of Marxism with the theory of imperialism. At the same time, certain
differences are found in content used — mainly the history of European revolutions by Lenin and the history
of Russian state-building by Stalin. Lenin placed more emphasis on universal laws of history, while Stalin recognized the originality of the Russian historical process. There were certain differences in emphases on their
interpretations of national relations and foreign policy in Russian history. Such differences in views of history
were correlated with differences between the tasks Lenin and Stalin faced at different stages of the Soviet
project.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article uses primary sources not previously published, including draft minutes of the CPSU Central
Committee Secretariat during the period 1966–1967. This primary source clearly demonstrates the practice of
making the most important decisions in one of the most important bodies of the party apparatus during the formation of the practice of “collective leadership”. The article shows the place of the CPSU Central Committee Secretariat in the power structure of the USSR. Despite the brevity of notes, an analysis suggests several conclusions
about the political and economic orientations of the country’s leaders in the early Brezhnev period. Speeches
made during discussions of various issues demonstrate the desire of party leaders to move away from unjustified
(in their opinion), reforms of the Khrushchev-era management apparatus and to focus instead on systematic
changes aimed at strengthening the role of the party-state apparatus and improving the economy. The article
also analyzes speeches by individual party leaders who most clearly expressed their position, such as L.I.Brezhnev, M.A.Suslov, D.F.Ustinov, and A.N.Shelepin. The article discusses the organization of the activities of the
Secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee: the composition of participants in meetings, the distribution of responsibilities between them, the procedure for preparing agenda items for meetings of departments of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the practice of discussions, and attempts to streamline the work of the Secretariat.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Lately, data have been increasingly indicating an unusual, abnormal state of the magnetic
field at the boundary of the Precambrian and Phanerozoic. This fact significantly limits the
possibility of employing the paleomagnetic approach for creating various paleoreconstructions in this time interval, and it allows a better understanding of the evolution of the Earth’s
magnetic field. Until recently, there was no exact binding of Lower Cambrian sections bearing an anomalous paleomagnetic record to the chronostratigraphical chart, which made it
impossible to obtain adequate estimates of the duration of the anomalous state of the magnetic field. In this study we present the results of a paleomagnetic study of the Lower Cambrian terrigenous-carbonate rocks of the Udzha and Anabar Uplifts (Emyaksa and Medvezh
Formations). New evidence has been obtained of the anomalous paleomagnetic record in
these rocks, which manifests itself in the objective existence of two significantly different
directions of the high-temperature magnetization components, the formation of which cannot be explained by a later remagnetization. U-Pb dating of detrital zircons constrains the
maximum depositional age of the Manykay and Emyaksa Formations to ~520 Ma, which, in
combination with the faunistic characteristic of the upper part of the Emyaksa Formation,
points to the Atdaban age of studied successions. The age constraints obtained indicate a
specific paleomagnetic record, and due to the peculiarities of the generation of the geomagnetic field of the terminal Precambrian–Early Cambrian Period, trace the paleomagnetic
record back to the Atdaban age, inclusive.

value:
The analysis of the main provisions of the transportation system reform programs in the Russian
cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg allows the authors to conclude that some of
the items in the documents do not fully satisfy the systemic approach to the definition of city and
the role of transport in it. Based on the literature review and the benchmarking of best practices
of the urban transportation reforms in different countries, the authors established inter-relations
between urban transport and other elements of the city — economy, ecology, society and spatial
planning. With regards to the identified inter-relations, possible consequences of policy decisions were investigated. These consequences are to be considered in the formulation of the urban
transportation reform program. The article concludes with the necessity to include in the urban
transportation reform program not only indices related to the development of public transport
but also those which define the development of other elements of the city — economy, ecology,
society and spatial planning.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The research dedicated to the digital divide has been on the rise over the last three decades,
although the individual level of such a phenomenon remains underexplored. This is in line with
the citizen-centric trend noted in the research pertaining to consumer reluctance to adopt digital
innovations aimed to improve the quality of life as part of smart city solutions. According to studies, consumer participation in development and modification of smart city solutions, for which a
city provides the required access and infrastructure, tends to augment their value for consumers
thereby boosting their willingness to accept those smart city solutions. By intertwining these
research streams, the article explores the factors determining the individual level of digital divide which relates to consumer adoption of smart city solutions through the bibliometric and
systematic literature review analysis. The paper aims to propose the antecedents and factors of
consumer adoption of smart city solutions based on Motivation, Opportunity, Ability framework
underlying the digital divide phenomenon. The results revealed the factors related to motivation,
cognition and competence which are to be considered conjointly rather than step-wise. Due to
the multifaceted nature of smart city solutions, motivation is triggered by various factors discussed by behavioural, innovation diffusion and technology acceptance theories. By definition,
smart city solutions derive from the extant solutions of urban challenges. Hence, competence is
related to the previous experience, whereas cognition and willingness to innovate refer to the
intention to adopt novel smart city solutions. Theoretically, the study provides propositions to
further empirical research in the consumer smart city solutions adoption field. Managerially, it
presents the factors to be considered prior to launching smart city solutions.

dc.description.abstract

value:
By applying the thesis about branding as a modificer of consumer behavior under the impact of
cardinal changes of the world economy this paper extends our understanding of branding dualism that could lead to sustainable consumption as well as to unsustainable one. The purpose
of this paper is to provide knowledge about impacts of two megatrends of the modern world
economy on consumer behavior while the world/domestic product market is transforming into
the simulacra market, and to contribute to the current discourse about marketing ideology (in
other terms — consumerism), irrational consumption, and overconsumption that are stemmed
from the profit-oriented marketing wherein the branding plays a role of the powerful booster of
unsustainable consumption. Finally, an appeal to academia has been made to search for effective
ways to apply branding tools for achieving the goal of sustainable consumption and production.
Thematic content analysis explores multiple (mainly international) sources focused on topics of
sustainable development, digital transformation, semiotics and emerging simulacrum market,
dualism of branding, marketing ideology and consumerism related to modifying the model of
consumer behavior. These sources were analyzed through a sustainable development goals lens.
Th e research has identified two directions of the branding impact on consumer behavior due to the phenomenon of branding dualism — towards the sustainable consumption or vice versa depending on accepting or rejecting the sustainability branding strategy, respectively. By applying
semantic concepts, the simulacra market paradigm diff erent from the real market paradigm is
used to assess contemporary changes in consumer behavior. This unconventional investigation
into the branding dualism, including the impact of the above-mentioned trends on it, extends
the understanding of the marketing up to the sphere of consumer society ideology and highlights
the importance of sustainability branding for achieving the goal of sustainable consumption.
By integrating semantics concepts into the marketing discipline, this paper explores the dual
role of branding in modifying the model of consumption under the impact of world economy
megatrends and provides suggestions for business and academia about how best to overcome
perceived barriers to sustainable consumption. These insights have relevance to dissimilarities
between social consequences of branding in the frame of micromarketing and macromarketing or macrosocial marketing and could help alter consumption practices to make them more
sustainable.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents a critical analysis of research areas of substantiality and resilience of Arctic cities; we also analyze the evolution of approaches on the development of the Far North
in Russian and foreign scientific literature. All these varied approaches could be divided into
two large groups: one group includes the approaches with priority attention to internal factors
of development of the Arctic city and the second one pays attention to external factors. The
choice of position here is fundamentally important for understanding the essence of individual areas of research. Traditional Soviet approaches to areas of new development, as well as
modern work on remoteness, are approaches with a great emphasis on external factors. The
concept of sustainable development is focused on the study of the stability of the object of
study in relatively stable conditions, while the concept of resilience is developed in terms of
shock effects. As a result of the synthesis of different approaches, a conceptual model of the
Arctic city was developed, which includes the following subsystems: economic specialization,
life support, natural and environmental, social and cultural, knowledge and information, and
administrative and management. The basic level of ensuring the resilience of the entire system
of the Arctic city is determined by its internal structure, and in particular, the flexibility of the
links between individual subsystems (on the contrary, the rigidity of the links leads to classical
lock-in characteristic of single-industry cities, environmentally adverse consequences, etc.).
In addition, the overall stability/resilience of the system is provided by the characteristics of
the organization and the reliability of individual subsystems, and thirdly, the features of relationships with other territories.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of the work is to establish the basic laws of the formation of the hydrochemical background for the development of standards of permissible impact on raised bogs.
Research methods included physical and chemical analysis, water balance calculations and
statistical processing of analytical data. The hydrochemical background of raised bogs was
established based on materials of generalization of hydrochemical data of the typical and
most studied bogs of the Leningrad (Lammin-Suo swamp), Arkhangelsk (Ilasskoe swamp)
and Tomsk (Vasyugan swamp) Oblasts. The spatial and seasonal variability of the main ingredients of chemical composition (main ions, biogenic elements, organic matter and heavy
metals) of marsh waters was investigated. The hydrochemical background was calculated
using the combined samples’ mean annual values of concentrations of all investigated raised
bogs. It is acceptable in view of the absence of statistically significant differences between
intra-annual hydrochemical indicators of oligotrophic microlandscapes of raised bogs. For
the purpose of preserving the oligotrophic nutrient status of raised bogs, maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) of chemicals in discharged sewage were developed. On the
basis of water-balance calculations, a simplified definition of the permissible mass of the
introduction of chemicals from sewage discharge was performed. Significant differences
were revealed in the values of the standards of permissible impact (SPI) using the generally accepted maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) and the approximately allowable
concentration (AAC) developed by the authors. The SPI calculated by the AAC for the main
ions, total mineralization and nitrates was 5 times lower; and for organic substances, ammonium and total iron — 5–50 times more than calculated by LPC. Thus, the use of more
flexible criteria for the concentrations of discharged pollutants makes it possible to both
minimize the degree of anthropogenic disturbances of raised bogs, and significantly reduce
the cost of wastewater treatment from a number of chemical substances of the bogs’ natural
background.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents a comprehensive multilevel accuracy evaluation of global snow water
equivalent (SWE) datasets performed for the territory of the Northern Dvina River basin,
where snow plays an important role in the formation of spring runoff and the increase in
winter runoff during recent decades due to ongoing climate change. Six global snow water
equivalent datasets, available on the National Snow and Ice Data Center website (all currently
available global SWE data), were used in this study. Snow survey data of the Roshydromet
observation network were used as ground-based observations. The accuracy of dataset values
of SWE was evaluated by comparison with ground observations in several successive stages.
In the first stage, the global SWE values were compared with the observational data for several
selected weather stations, i. e., the dataset values of SWE belonging to a particular grid cell
were compared with the snow survey values of a weather station located in this cell. In the
second stage, the SWE values averaged over one of the main subbasins of the Northern Dvina,
the Small Northern Dvina River basin, were analyzed. The final stage was the SWE comparison for the entire Northern Dvina River basin. The methodology for ranking data depending
on their accuracy based on comparison with ground-based observations of several basic parameters of quantitative changes in SWE during periods of formation and before the start of
melting (maximum SWE) was specially developed to implement the accuracy evaluation and
SWE comparison. A comprehensive comparative analysis performed based on the developed
methodology revealed that the accuracy of global SWE data increases with the investigation
area (i.e., the volume of information used) for which the comparison is being carried out. The
closest to the observed SWE values for all datasets were obtained for the whole Northern Dvina River basin. The ranking methodology and the implemented analysis helped to determine
the most promising global SWE data for future use.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The structural evolution of the Maksyutov metamorphic complex in the southern part of the
Uraltau zone (Southern Urals) was investigated. Several stages of deformation were distinguished. The first stage of deformation is associated with the formation of F1 folds, which include folded structures of the southwestern vergence and sheath folds. The second stage was
expressed in the formation of F2 folds of the southeastern vergence, the most common in the
field of development of the Maksyutov metamorphic complex. An alternative model involves the
formation of sheath folds as the main structures and folds of the southwestern and southeastern
vergence as additional ones under the conditions of tectonic movements in the direction from
NE to SW.The choice between the two models requires additional research. The early stages of
the deformation history of the complex are associated with the exhumation of its rocks from the subduction zone of the Magnitogorsk island arc. The next stage was expressed in the formation
of F3 folds of the western vergence associated with movements along the Main Ural Fault zone,
during the Late Paleozoic collision. Post-collision shear movements marked by F4 folds with
steeply dipping hinges completed the main stage of the region’s structural evolution.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses some aspects of the formation of a modern rural lifestyle, taking into account the peculiarities of geographical location, transport accessibility and a number of demographic parameters. The results of field studies of three rural settlements in Leningrad Oblast
are presented. A large role in collecting information for this work was played by the use of the
social network Vkontakte. With the help of open information from the communities of rural
settlements, it was possible to compile an initial description of rural settlements and to conduct
an online survey of permanent and summer residents. Also through the social network, the
authors managed to contact summertime and permanent residents of the rural settlements, who
subsequently agreed to a personal meeting and interview. Based on the results of camera and
field studies, portraits were compiled of the studied rural settlements and current trends in the
rural way of life were revealed: employment, life, behavioral habits, self-determination of permanent residents and summer residents. A comparative assessment was conducted on the real and
official data on the population of these villages in winter and summer; the types of the studied
rural settlements were determined, taking into account their socio-demographic characteristics:
rural settlements of intelligentsia of average wealth, rural settlements of summer residents of
above-average prosperity, and rural settlements with a mixed composition of residents. Several
categories of summer residents of the studied rural settlements were identified: 1) relatives of
permanent residents of rural settlements; 2) people living and working in the city who have
acquired leisure property on the territory of rural settlements and were not associated with it in
any way prior; 3) people living and working in the city who continue to maintain property of
their deceased parents and 4) guests of permanent residents and summer residents staying for a
certain period of time (from 3 days or more) in the rural settlements, as well as tenants.

value:
The aim of the paper is to examine the process of concurrent engineering in cross-functional
teams and their role in the formation of knowledge potential of a company. Concurrent engineering in cross-functional teams is presented as an alternative to the traditional approach to
the development of innovative products. In this study, organizational, activity and functional approaches were used, as well as the methods of analysis, deduction and generalization. The authors
analyze the essence and features of concurrent engineering in the context of cross-functional
teams. The necessity of considering cross-functional teams from the perspective of the community determining identity, common interests in a team, its relative integrity is established. The research has shown the importance of cross-functional teams in the development and formation of company’s knowledge potential. The article discusses various coordination mechanisms
operating in cross-functional teams. The analysis of the features of cross-functional teams allows
us to determine that they are built on the principles of adhocracy and impact the development
of knowledge potential of companies significantly. However, cross-functional teams require a
special management approach. The paper presents directions for further development of the research such as empirical analysis of the influence of various coordination mechanisms on knowledge sharing in a cross-functional team. The results of the study contribute to further research on
cross-functional teams and effective knowledge sharing.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The lithogeochemical features of gray, green and red clayey rocks and volcanic tuffs found
among Vendian deposits of the western slope of the Middle Urals (Serebryanka Group, Koiva
Formation; Sylvitsa Group, Starye pechi Formation, Chernyi Kamen Formation) are considered. The materials presented and their analysis make it possible to reasonably assume that
clayey rocks of usual color and their red-colored varieties do not fundamentally differ in their
characteristics. On the discriminant lithogeochemical diagrams, their data points form fields
characterized by significant, if not almost complete, overlaps. Moreover, as follows from an
analysis of the Strakhov and Boström module values, as well as the position of the data points
on the (Y/Ho)PAAS–(Ce/Ce*)PAAS diagram, they do not contain exhalation components. The
sources of the fine-grained aluminosilicoclastic material for clayey rocks of different colors
were mainly acidic (magmatic?) rocks. Volcanic tuffs, on the contrary, are composed of material similar in composition to trachyandesites, andesites, and trachyandesibasalts. The data
presented in the article give reason to believe that the red color of many clayey rocks present
among the Vendian deposits of the Middle Urals is the result of pedogenic processes, as is
expected for the red-colored rocks present among the Upper Riphean and Vendian deposits
of the Southern Urals. On the other hand, some of the interlayers that we took in the field for
volcanic tuffs, as previously assumed, can be ordinary sedimentary rocks, the color of which
was changed by secondary processes (gleying, etc.), including modern ones.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study offers a structural literature review on the twenty years the evolution of the fast-growing research topic of intellectual capital (IC) and intangible-driven performance. Despite a
rather short independent history, the IC concept has undergone a substantial transformation,
bringing to the discussion vast empirical and methodological literature. Several endeavors carrying out literature review studies could only partially satisfy the needs of the systematization of
the relevant research. Hence, there is still a large room for such kind of analysis due to the increasing number of new papers published in the area and puzzle of IC-related sophistications.
To draw a holistic picture of the landscape of IC and associated corporate performance, this
study departures from the mixed research methodology embracing elements of machine-learning tools and in-depth qualitative interpretation of obtained results and critical discussion of the
most influential studies in the field. Our findings demonstrate that four professional outlets selected for the examination have generated four relatively isolated research topics: “Human
capital and performance”, “Knowledge sharing, organizational learning: processes that drive
performance”, “IC and knowledge management for business performance”, “Measurement,
disclosure of IC and knowledge for business performance”. All these research lines are welcomed
by all leading journals in the field, having high potential to create a dense flow of conceptual and
empirical contributions and practical value for a knowledge-intensive business.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper aims to identify the determinants of return to work after maternity leave in Russia.
Can an organisation influence employees’ decision about withdrawal from the market after
leave arrangement, or does it fully depend on the contextual and personal characteristics of
the employee, as assumed by the discourses of merit and choice? Logistic regression analysis
helps to answer the raised questions, referring to responses of 721 mothers with previous
working experience. The research revealed that employers indeed can improve inclusion of
employees with childcare commitments, fostering their return after the maternity leave. Despite
high regional diversity of Russian population, contextual specificity barely influences the decision of employees regarding their returning to work with the same employer, similarly to their
level of education, firms’ equity or amount of children. Among personal characteristics, income
was found to play an important role in return decisions, as well as the age of the smallest child.
The paper contributes to the debates on the fluidity of gender and work identity as well as
organizational control over the identity work.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the attractiveness of the city’s brand using the Brand Box
Model by L. de Chernatony and G. McWilliam. Despite the fact that territorial branding has
become an integral part of local political and administrative life, its success, as the literature
review shows, is modest. The authors suggest that one of the reasons for this state of affairs is the
imperfection of the methodology for measuring the city’s brand, and propose the testing of the
Brand Box Model. The study presents the results of a sociological survey among the residents
and visitors of the city of Yekaterinburg at the age of 18 and older with a total sample size of 465
observations. The analysis made it possible to identify four groups of the public with different
attitudes regarding the brand of the Ural capital. The results obtained indicate the influence of
gender, age, and professional characteristics of respondents on the perception of functional and
emotional-symbolic attributes of the city’s brand. The results were obtained using the K-means
method, as well as the Ward’s method and the Euclidean distance square. The authors conclude
that the Brand Box Model is an adequate theoretical construction for analyzing territorial brands.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A lithochemical and chemostratigraphic study of the boundary Upper Vendian–Lower
Cambrian deposits of the Baltic monocline in the well sections of Leningrad Oblast and
northeastern Estonia was carried out in the volume of the Redkino, Kotlin and Lontova
horizons. Both common features and differences in the rock associations of individual
horizons in different wells are revealed, which is a consequence of local variations of
sedimentation conditions. The deposits of the Redkino horizon uncovered in the central and
eastern parts of the region are characterized by a similar composition of rocks, represented by
moderately deep-water sandy-clayey sediments of small thickness, formed in disoxidic and
anoxic environments with pronounced processes of bacterial sulfate reduction. The deposits
of the Kotlin horizon are represented by two groups of rocks. In the sections of wells in the
east and west of Leningrad Oblast, a variety of sandy-siltstone rocks, representing coastalmarine sediments of oxidative conditions in the basin, predominate. In sections of the central
part of the Baltic monocline (district of St. Petersburg), fine-grained deep-water disoxic
and ferrigenous anoxic environments with a marked accumulation of siderite are common.
Marine sandy-clay deposits of the Lontova horizon of the Lower Cambrian have similar
lithochemical characteristics with the Kotlin deposits of the “eastern” and “western” sections
of the territory, but they were formed under conditions of some oxygen deficiency (disoxic
facies). Petrochemical analysis of core material showed that all the sediments studied belong
to lithogenic sediments in which no presence of volcanic or pyrogenic material is observed.
The formation of the sedimentary sequence of the Upper Vendian–Lower Cambrian of the
Baltic monocline took place under the conditions of a passive continental regime with a
gradual change of humid climatic conditions with semiarid ones.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the specific composition of igneous rocks of the Late Cretaceous monzonite-syenite-granite Khara-Sis massif, localized at the intersection of long-lived faults in
the northeastern part of the Selennyakh anticlinorium. In most discriminatory diagrams, the
points of monzonite and syenite compositions, on the one hand, and fluorite granites, on the
other, set different trends, which indicates different sources of melts and different ways of their
crystallization. Based on these data, typomorphism of rock-forming, accessory, and restite
minerals, and the nature of the distribution of trace elements in the rocks, it is concluded that the massif is multi-formation. Monzonites and syenites correspond to post-orogenic formations of the shoshonite series and have mantle-crustal origin. The initial melt was formed at
the specified temperature of 1050–1060 °C and a pressure of 1.7–1.9 GPA as a result of partial
mixing of the lower crust melt and the melt inflowing from the horizons of the metasomatized
mantle. Model Rb-Sr values of granites characterize them as crustal formations. According
to all parameters of composition they belong to post-orogenic A-type granites. The disparity
between high temperatures of the parent melt (1000–1025 °С), comparable to high temperatures of monzonite melt, at a significantly lower pressure of magma generation (0.7–0.8 GPA),
indicates that granite was formed in the crust upon heat inflow from an outer (deep) source.
All rocks of the massif have high contents of REE, Y, U and Th, increasing from monzonites
to granites and are comparable with contents of REE, Y, U and Th only in the metasomatized mantle. It is concluded that deep fluids rich in these elements were supplied into crust
substrates during the formation of the granite chamber, and an increase of the flow of deep
substrates.

This paper presents a review of foreign studies analyzing the role of entrepreneurs in the accumulation and distribution of wealth and approaches to modeling entrepreneurship as an integral
part of the economy for evaluating the consequences of alternative economic policies. According
to the main results of the empirical literature, entrepreneurs, first, own a substantial share of
total household wealth, and many of the wealthiest people are entrepreneurs. Second, entrepreneurs have higher saving rates than other households, and, third, entrepreneurs face restrictions
on borrowing. We survey dynamic general equilibrium models based on stylized facts about the
behavior of entrepreneurs, where agents can choose the type of activity between entrepreneurship
and wage labor. Mechanisms of encouraging entrepreneurial savings due to borrowing constraints,
financial intermediation costs, and uninsured entrepreneurial risk allow calibrated versions of these models to successfully replicate the observed distribution of household wealth. Results of
counterfactual experiments to evaluate the effects of various types of tax reforms and financial
shocks in models with entrepreneurs are reviewed. The possibility of constructing a similar
model for the Russian economy is discussed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Companies view social commerce (s-commerce) as an additional online marketing sales channel of
which the revenue-generating potential has substantially increased through the recent introduction of online payments within these channels in Russia. This paper examines which factors influence the consumer buying decision through s-commerce channels in Moscow. Through a rigorous
process of expert interviews, we gain a first insight into the s-commerce market in Russia. Following
this preliminary qualitative analysis, we collect survey data on purchase decisions among buyers
on social media (stage 1: 303 respondents; stage 2: 252 respondents). An in-depth analysis via
structural equation modelling reveals numerous factors that positively contribute to purchase
intention. Among others, we find that the intensity of social interaction (e.g. frequency of updates
and response time), quality of service (e.g. payment and delivery) and the availability of positive
reviews are statistically significant determinants for a purchase decision. However, in line with
expert feedback, we find that the significant influential factors differ across s-commerce channels.
For example, in Инстаграм companies should emphasize platform convenience, content personalization and trust, with the latter factor significantly depending on security and the availability
of reviews.

in EMs, global talent mobility, TM in multinational corporations, and human resource management in a “global war for talent” context. I further conduct a structured content-analysis-based
literature analysis and provide a much-needed overview of the underlying organization theories
used in previous EM research to explain the GTM phenomenon. I additionally reveal the key
GTM system components and determine the main demand-supply factors and outcomes of
GTM implementation. Lastly, based on the study’s findings and subsequent discussions, I offer
