" Introduction." Psychology in Russia: State of the Art 4 (2011): 6-12. Online. Description An account of the resource After a hiatus of several years, the Russian Psychological Society starting publishing their annual peer-reviewed academic journal, “Psychology in Russia: State of the Art” in 2008. Unlike the journals from earlier in this exhibit, this journal is highly scientific and empirical in its nature and largely focuses solely on furthering the field of psychological research in Russia as well as gaining credibility for Russian psychological research on the global stage. Thus, this publication rounds out the arc of the history of psychology in Russia – specifically, “Psychology in Russia: State of the Art” represents the current state of the development of the field of psychology not only in the way that the Russian Psychological Society wants to present it to fellow scholars, but to the rest of the world. Truly, this publication is one of the best examples of Russian psychology in modern, global as well as domestic perspective. An excerpt from the 2011 publication’s introduction by Editors Yury Zinchenko and Viktor Petrenko perfectly encapsulates the importance of this publication as well as the current state of psychology in Russia today: “The year which passed since the last issue of this yearbook was published was marked by a considerable amount of activity by the professional community of Russian psychologists. This clearly reflects the growing role psychology as a discipline and a profession plays in the life of Russian society. Today, psychology has become very visible in Russia. It has made a miraculous transformation from a rather exotic – if not marginal – academic discipline to almost a mass occupation” (Zinchenko & Petrenko).

The text implies that while Americans fight over their gun rights (“right to bear arms”), Russians are living in a parallel universe where gun rights are the least exciting part. They live in Meme Russia, where based on dashcam videos, every ride in a car is like in a video game, where the president goes hunting while shirtless and finds treasure while scuba-diving, and where giant meteors hit random towns. In short, Russians have the right to “whole bear.” This statement also really gets to the heart of the Internet’s relation with Russia – while memes certainly make fun of Russia, one can’t but notice that the nerdy young males propagating these memes are at least a little envious of a land where adventure is not just confined to video games. This meme also hits on other parts of Meme Russia, prominently displaying “Badass Putin” and through its textual humor also alluding to the Russian reversal, thus displaying the recontextualization of Soviet Russia from “advanced, feared adversary status” into a land of humorous barbarism. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/russiaglobal/original/e05b722dda51cfeb09020567f12bdb17.png 31feafad60c5dab99f320efd25deb73f Still Image A static visual representation.

As the beginning of a set of items on this page that reflect upon the meaning and context of a selection of the Russian Psychological Society (or the equivalent)’s publications over time, “Questions of Philosophy and Psychology” encompasses unique issues, observations, and academic inquiries regarding a broad scope of issues. Overall, this publication is particularly important because of what it represents in thinking about psychology and the evolution of the Russian Psychological Society in a global and historical context – namely, the fact that psychology, philosophy, and intricate socio-political development are always interconnected. Because the research and journalistic endeavors that fall under the umbrella of this publication’s “scope” is far from limited to just to the field of psychological research, it is excellent for tracing how intricately linked the birth of the science of psychology and the Moscow Psychological Society was to other fields, like philosophy, journalism, and politics. Although specific socio-political issues were not addressed head-on in this publication, this journal encompasses many types of articles focused on philosophy and supposed spiritual development (Zakutnyaya). In fact, even Leo Tolstoy was known to have several items published in this journal!

Description An account of the resource The image here is an illustration for an article detailing the memoir published by the former head of IKEA’s Russian Operations, Lennart Dahlgren. Originally from Sweden, Ms. Dalhgren was tasked with the entry of the company into the Russian market in the early 1990s but was beset by misfortune (the collapse of the Soviet Union and the liquidation of the ruble when the government defaulted on payments) until finally opening at store, then the first MEGA mall, in 2000 and 2002 respectively. [1] He chronicles his experience of doing so in his book, and warns against buying into the myths or stereotypes that one may have heard about Russia. The reality, he says, is so much different than what you could have imagined. “Those who call themselves Russia experts usually don’t understand the first thing about it,” writes Dahlgren. “People who say they don’t know much about Russia come much closer to understanding it.” [2] Fascinatingly, although the book has only been published in two languages (Russian and Swedish) it has been titled differently in each. In Russia, one finds “IKEA loves Russia: a story of leadership, passion and perseverance.” In Sweden one finds, “Despite Absurdity: How I Conquered Russia While It Conquered Me.” [1] Dahlgren, Lennart, and 2010. “The Basics of Doing Business in Russia.” Harvard Business Review.

The two were convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917 and sentenced to death. Despite concerns over the quality of the convicting evidence and public opinion in favor of clemency, the Rosenbergs were executed by electric chair on June 19, 1953. The Rosenberg trial and execution took place during the heart of the “Red Scare,” a period of paranoia over communist activity in America that took place from 1947- 1954. The Russian presence in America served as a source of tension in the aftermath of opposition between the countries and laid grounds for future disruptions in foreign relations.

Over the past few centuries, Russian immigration has ebbed and flowed due to changing Soviet policy. During the 1970s, the relaxation of these policies on emigration allowed for the influx of Russian immigrants to the U.S. For example, Brighton Beach, a community neighboring Brooklyn, N.Y., served as a major destination for Russian emigres beginning in 1973. Although immigrants began arriving during and after World War II, the majority immigrated in the 1970s after the Soviet Union relaxed emigration policies. Brighton Beach is also known as "Little Odessa", due to the large percentage of its residents who originate from Odessa. In addition, is also a hub of criminal and mafia activity.

Title A name given to the resource Russo-Turkish War (Moldova, Part 1) Subject The topic of the resource Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812 Description An account of the resource In the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812, Imperial Russia annexed Bessarabia (formerly known as the Republic of Moldavia) from the Ottoman Empire. After noticing the weakening of the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire began encroaching on Bessarabia (or present-day Moldova) in 1806. After the Russian Empire began occupying the eastern half of Bessarabia (between the Prut and Dniester rivers), six years of warfare broke out between the Ottomas and the Russians. In the Treaty of Bucharest (May 16, 1812), the Ottoman Empire officially gave over the entire land to the Russian Empire, after owning it for 300 years prior. The annexation of Bessarabie marked an entirely new social, political, and cultural climate for the area. By gaining Bessarabia, the Russian Empire became a major power in the Danube River area and the Transcaucus Region. The image from below appears from an exhibit in the National Museum of Moldovan history, commemorating the annexation of Bessarabie to Russia as a moment of fusion between the East and the West. The image depicts Sultan Selim III of the Ottoman Empire on the top left side of the image giving away the land of Bessarabia to Russian Emperor Alexander I on the bottom right-hand side of the image.
