Violation of the Russians right to free and fair elections (article 21 of the UDHR)

Human rights are evidently postulated in the entire body of international human rights decree and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They form the heart of many national constitutions because they are renowned and endorsed by many countries. Human beings are entitled to a free and fair election (United for Human Rights, 01). However, the real situation in the world is far distant from the standards projected in the Declaration. Many countries still believe that the attainment of human rights is a remote goal that cannot be attained. One such country is Russia where article 21 of the UDHR has always ...

Russian and Cuban Communism

Communism is a political and social movement that aims for a classless state where the means of production is owned jointly by the society. The government is the overall owner of the means of production and ensures the masses share in the distribution of wealth. The communist movement has been prevalent in countries like the USSR. The application varies though in various countries. Russian Communism is better than Cuban Communism because limited political pluralism exists in Russia. The political pluralism though limited in Russia can lead to further reforms in the future where the people will elect the political party that ...

Introduction

Russia is a huge producer of oil and gas. It is the second largest producer and exporter of oil, and the largest producer and exporter of natural gas (Winfrey, 2010). Its economy largely depends on its oil and gas reserves. The funds acquired from its oil and gas reserves have greatly contributed to the survival of its political system. Boix (2004) argues that there are no examples of a successful transition to democracy in a country in which the contribution of the oil in the country’s export income is more than one third, and it seems to be alarming situation for ...

Abstract

This paper seeks to examine and analyze Russia’s connectedness to the global economy. It does so by exploring how oil prices affect social, political and economic outcomes. The argument is that specialization in the single industry of oil and gas has made it possible for individuals to embrace corruption and cheating. The research uses literature from the Economist and the BBC in exploring Russian integration into the global economy. It denotes that low oil prices have adversely affected Russia’s position as a powerful emerging market economy. Low prices also force the Russian government on military adventures and ...

Starting from autumn of 2013, Ukraine has been a center of an escalating war conflict: starting with peaceful demonstrations in support of Ukraine joining the European Union, to more than one hundred protesters being monstrously killed by the law-enforcers, to Russia invading Crimea and then developing the still-continuing conflict in the east of Ukraine. But what are the reasons of this bloodcurdling incubus born by a supposedly friendly neighbor of once peaceful and promising Ukraine? There are a lot of them, but both in the reasons and the causes Russian government is to blame: it’s them who occupied the territory of ...

Political culture is a component of the general culture, a cumulative indicator of political experience, a level of political knowledge and feelings, examples of behavior and functioning of political subjects, the integrated characteristic of a political way of life of the country, a class, the nation, social group of individuals.
A feature of political culture is that it makes not policy or political process, but their understanding, an explanation. In the political sphere often the importance is gained not only by real actions and measures of the state but also, by the way they are estimated and perceived in ...

There are animal rights protecting cats, dogs, dolphins, squirrels, zebras, pigs, birds, and other harmless animals. There are also animal rights protecting the violent and dangerous animals such as lions, tigers, and snakes. However, when it comes to LGBT and other social minorities, why do some people show no mercy or concern with them? What scope or kind of morality this anti-LGBT or anti-minority possesses? (Morrison, 113)

Abstract
In the fall of 2013, the Government of Ukraine had announced the suspension to continue the process of European integration, which resulted in mass protests on the Independence Square. In late December, Russia expressed its readiness to give Ukraine a credit of 15 billion dollars. In January, former president Viktor Yanukovych signed the ‘repressive’ laws, which almost immediately were forced to cancel. 21 February, the President of Ukraine signed an agreement with the opposition, and three EU Foreign Ministers. Yanukovich flew to Donetsk, actually losing control on events in Kiev, then he disappeared and was found in Rostov-on-Don, ...

Introduction

This paper is an endeavor to explain the rights and freedoms of people around the world, as they (such freedoms) cut across the social classes and prejudices. The arguments of the paper are based on the presumption that the concepts of freedom and equality are sometimes being suppressed in some parts of the world including the Middle East, Russia, and Canada (Charlton 18). Such inequalities in the application of freedoms and rights is what makes it hard for the Middle Eastern and Russian people, for instance, to extend greater tolerance and share the same social privileges. That is why ...

The 2012 presidential elections in the United States were shaped by a couple of issues that resonated within the electorate. It is important to note that President Obama took over office at the height of the 2008 economic recession in the United States. President Obama had in a period of four years to put in place mechanisms that would see the United States economy back to stability. Despite the efforts that had been put in place by the Obama to stabilize the economy, unemployment was still a major challenge within the American citizenry. For government to be able to provide more job ...

Abstract:

Alexander Litvinenko was a Russian spy initially working with the KGB and afterwards with FSB.

With the ostensible sense of security in the UK he continued to condemn the then leader of the FSB Vladimir Putin and Kremlin, accusing them of drug trafficking, bombing apartment ...

Introduction

The Caucasus is a region, characterized by diverse ethnic and religious composition and the high number of ethnic conflicts and separatist regions. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the post-Soviet states of this region witnessed and suffered numerous confrontations on the ethnic ground and faced several claims for separation and independence. Azerbaijan and Armenia confronted each other because of the Nagorno-Karabakh territory; Chechnya was a problematic region of Russian Federation, striving and fighting for independence, as a result, suffered two wars; and Georgia – a tiny mountainous state that shares borders with Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey, witnessed a ...

Currently, there are very harsh discussions about the role of Gorbachev in the history of the Soviet Union in the last years of its existence. Often he is regarded as a person who undermined the whole structure of this country. Very often, he is considered as a traitor in Russia. On the contrary, in the West, he is believed as a person who ended the Cold War. But nevertheless, the fact that harsh discussions about his person and role are going on is the best evidence that Gorbachev is an outstanding person with great contribution to the world history ...

American Foreign Policy on the Cold War and Modern Russia

History has long portrayed the United States and Russian Federation (or the former Soviet Union) as bitter rivals since the time of the Great Wars and the onset of the Cold War. Both became the leader of the West and the East as the world’s superpowers in the Cold War, with one becoming the de-facto leader of the international community and the other becoming a silent entity in the European region. For years, both countries remained in conflict in several aspects within the international arena and in the side of the United States, their foreign policy had indicated some ...

Abstract
America took the initiative to create the security mechanism to involve the majority of democratic countries and stabilize Europe, because the fact that the Soviet Union no longer controlled the surrounding countries increased the tensions in the region. In April 4, 1949, the countries signed a final treaty that established NATO. The USSR has strongly opposed the formation of the organization. In a response, it created its own structure to maintain its stability in the Western Europe. Not all countries became beneficial because of the creation of NATO. Some countries found themselves on the wage of the war with ...
