Dzobak Volodymyr Dzobak Volodymyr РОЗДУМИ ПРО НАДВАЖЛИВЕ або ЧОМУ НАШІ ОЛІГАРХИ СТАЛИ МОГИЛЬЩИКАМИ НИНІШНЬОЇ УКРАЇНИ

Головним інструментом нинішніх олігархів є безправний люмпен, який живе на подачках від держави, на грані фізичного виживання. Ось чому значна частина пенсіонерів є найкращим їх електоратом, який і допомагає часто приводити до влади їх ставлеників. Для малого і середнього бізнесу сьогодні закриті економічні ліфти у цілих галузях економіки, бо з кожним роком сфери зацікавленості олігархії збільшуються, перекриваючи кисень усім іншим.

Russian Jets Are Flying Under the Radar and Endangering Civilian Airplanes Almost six months after pro-Russian rebels shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people aboard, Russia is flouting international aviation rules and showing reckless disregard for the safety of civilian flights.

The Media Battle for Hearts and Minds in Russia and Central Asia
The Media Battle for Hearts and Minds in Russia and Central Asia Does public opinion matter to authoritarian leaders? Just ask Vladimir Putin.

Loved ones and others who attempt to investigate, and in some cases to publicize... Forward>>

The five most significant events of 2014
The five most significant events of 2014 Most people have something they do to mark the end of the year: make a resolution, go to a party, tidy the attic. My annual ritual is to make a list of the five most significant events of the past year in global politics. This year is an odd one, in that it seems to me that there are only two events that stand head-and-shoulders above the others. The first is the breakdown in relations between Russia... Forward>>

Russia's Natural Gas Sales Plummet: Is Russia Captive To European Buyers?
Russia's Natural Gas Sales Plummet: Is Russia Captive To European Buyers? The received wisdom is that Europe cannot offend Russia because it depends so much on Russian natural gas. We have this backwards. It should be: Russia cannot offend Europe because it depends too much on sales of natural gas sales to Europe. The third quarter 2014 audit report of Gazprom, the Russian national gas company, shows a substantial decline in sales of Russian natural gas... Forward>>

The fiscal rules that currently prevail in Europe have aroused a lot of popular... Forward>>
