The opposition criticized the Kremlin for its alleged cruelty towards underage protesters and represented the authorities as outdated. The authorities accused the liberal opposition of manipulating the minds of minors; jeopardizing their health and life; and also carrying out the work of the Western secret services that were trying to split Russian society by age. The Kremlin positions itself as a pillar of strength of not only the physical but also the spiritual health of children.The public opinion survey shows that for the informants the question of whether the authorities protected children or displayed cruelty towards them was important for their evaluation of the legitimacy of power.","PeriodicalId":307724,"journal":{"name":"Region: Regional Studies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128599823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of this research is to explore the existing level of awareness, attitude, and expectations of public sector accountants at the subnational levels of government towards implementation of EPSAS in Croatia. Additionally, this paper explores the relationship between the existing level of public sector transparency, as perceived by public sector accountants, and the expected outcomes of EPSAS implementation. The findings suggest that public sector accountants are quite skeptical regarding the outcomes of EPSAS implementation. Among the positive effects, public sector accountants point to an expected increase of accountability and budget control, and greater transparency of public expenditures. Finally, the findings indicate that higher existing levels of budgetary transparency, as perceived by public sector accountants, lead to anticipation of more favorable effects of EPSAS.","PeriodicalId":307724,"journal":{"name":"Region: Regional Studies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133470567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though this concept has not been completely embedded in customary international law, it is being taken into account as a de lege ferenda (new law) and human-oriented right by scholars of international law. In order for the right of remedial secession to materialize, at least four criteria must be met, namely the existence of a specific group of \"people\" deemed likely to benefit from secession; that this people is the victim of extensive and long-term persecution and harassment; the impossibility of coexistence between the seceding group and the state encompassing it; and the recognition of such an entity by a minimum number of members of the international community. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict satisfies the first three criteria, but the enclave is not recognized by any sovereign state or international governmental organization. In light of constructivist theory regarding the \"social construct of political realities,\" including \"statehood,\" as well as the on-the-ground political realities, it appears that the status quo, that is, the de facto independence of Karabakh without international recognition, will persist in the future. It appears that the geopolitical changes that took place in Karabakh after the 2020 war will not resolve the legal impasse. The present paper, which is based on a descriptive-analytical method, investigates the compatibility of remedial secession criteria with regard to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.","PeriodicalId":307724,"journal":{"name":"Region: Regional Studies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126542826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars have studied certain segments of state-owned entrepreneurship but have not taken a holistic approach to enterprises run or controlled by central or local government. This article draws on statistical yearbooks and other primary sources to address this gap in scholarship. It demonstrates that while Tsarist Russia had a diverse public sector, it employed no more than 10 percent of all economically active workers in all areas apart from public administration, the military, education, human health, and social work. The government kept certain enterprises in its ownership for various reasons, such as fiscal correction, regional development, and defense. Although the economic footprint of the state was considerable, there is no evidence that its role was significantly more prominent in the Russian case than elsewhere in Europe. The financial performance of most state-owned enterprises was poor; they were less efficient than their European counterparts and compared to private enterprises with a similar profile operating in Russia.","PeriodicalId":307724,"journal":{"name":"Region: Regional Studies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116832980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cha in his work entitled Powerplay. The main argument of this study is that Russia has rebuilt its strategic alignment with North Korea since 2000 to constrain the undertaking of adventuristic unilateral behavior that may drag Russia into an unwanted military contingency and crisis in its border region. Since the first nuclear crisis in North Korea, its nuclear ambitions and propensity to venture has increased Russia’s fear of entrapment. With the increasing intensity of such a fear, the only option for Russia is to apply the adhesion strategy to exert a direct restraint on North Korea as a preemptive measure. The rationale for this scheme is that avoiding any crisis in the border area is an overriding diplomatic goal in the newly established Russian Federation. This argument highlights institutional aspects of alignment and suggests fundamental purposes and functions of the Russia-North Korea alignment, which remains operational.","PeriodicalId":307724,"journal":{"name":"Region: Regional Studies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia","volume":"52 31","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120836328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
