Relatório de Estágio do Mestrado em Sociologia apresentado à Faculdade de Economia ; O mundo do trabalho está a mudar. Daqui a uns anos, um grupo de indivíduos denominado Geração Y irá incorporar os seus hábitos e valores nessa esfera da vida. Eles são criativos, flexíveis e tecnologicamente aptos, visto que nasceram praticamente com equipamentos tecnológicos nas mãos. Países e empresas irão disputar uma batalha aguerrida pelos melhores e mais talentosos. No entanto, a luta é desigual, visto que cidades de maior dimensão partem em considerável vantagem. O projeto Gen Y City – Swing of the City, emergiu no âmbito desta ideia, visando promover a cooperação entre cidades de pequena/média concentração populacional. O principal objetivo consiste em encurtar distâncias relativas a desvantagens competitivas e atenuar os efeitos que algumas cidades estão a sofrer com a fuga de talento altamente qualificado. A criação, retenção e atração de talento criativo e tecnológico terá de ser uma prioridade para o futuro. Consequentemente, as cidades que fazem parte desta rede interligada, que procura partilhar conhecimento, deverão trabalhar arduamente para transformarem os seus polos urbanos em locais apelativos e desejáveis para esta geração. De modo a que ela possa viver, não só com um trabalho estável, mas também com acesso a recursos inerentes à qualidade de vida. Políticas, ações e instituições locais terão de estar alinhadas e em sintonia com os interesses gerais desta geração, se o que procuram é reter e atrair este talento altamente desejado. Em consonância com estes interesses e objetivos realize, no âmbito do mesmo projeto, dois estágios curriculares para concluir o meu mestrado em Sociologia. Um decorreu em Coimbra e outro em Wolverhampton, Reino Unido, duas das doze cidades que integram o projeto Gen Y City. Iniciei assim esta aventura no mundo do trabalho, dando, essencialmente, apoio às iniciativas locais do projeto. A expectativa foi enorme, essencialmente, por continuar o trabalho já desenvolvido em Coimbra num país diferente, obtendo assim uma nova experiência na minha trajetória de vida e, acima de tudo, novos conhecimentos. Ao longo de quatro meses foi exatamente o que fiz: aprofundar saberes. Não só pela convivência numa fase posterior onde iria interagir com uma cultura diferente, mas também sobre esta apelidada Geração Y. Ferramentas metodológicas tanto qualitativas como quantitativas foram aplicadas para esse efeito. Entre esses mecanismos destaco o desenvolvimento de inquéritos por questionário, entrevistas, não esquecendo, no entanto, a revisão da bibliografia fundamental para compreender, da melhor forma possível, os comportamentos desta geração. Os resultados obtidos surgiram maioritariamente de um inquérito por questionário aplicado a jovens nascidos entre 1980 e 1997. Este estudo teve como propósito compreender as perceções e representações de membros da chamada Geração Y sobre a cidade de Coimbra, na expectativa de reconhecer valências positivas e negativas que estes jovens têm da cidade, assim como retratar comportamentos e atitudes no seu dia-a-dia em relação ao trabalho, tecnologias, e relações familiares. Essa informação deverá ser idealmente utilizada para promover melhorias significativas e um maior bem-estar, de modo a tornar a cidade num local ainda mais atraente e apetecível de se viver. ; The world of work is changing, and in a few years a group of individuals named Generation Y will take by storm that very aspect of life. They are creative, flexible and technologically capable, since they were practically born with technological equipment in their hands. Countries and companies will battle for the best and most talented persons. However, the struggle is unequal, as larger cities have considerable advantage. It was with this purpose in mind that The Gen Y City - Swing of the City project emerged, to promote the cooperation between small / medium-sized cities in order to reduce the competitive gap and mitigate the effects they are suffering with the departure of highly capable and qualified young people. The creation, retention and attraction of creative and technological talent will be a priority for the future. Consequently, Cities that are part of this interconnected network of shared knowledge must strive to transform their urban sites into appealing and desirable places for this Generation to live. They also must take into consideration that these individuals value not only a stable job, but also other circumstances inherent to quality of life in general. Local politics, actions and institutions will thus have to be aligned with the general interests of this generation if they want to have a chance at retaining and attracting this highly desirable talent. In line with these interests and objectives, I have completed two placements in order to obtain my master's degree in Sociology. One took place in Coimbra and the other one in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, two of the twelve cities are part of this project. I started this adventure in the world of work, essentially providing support to local initiatives of the project. The expectation was enormous, mostly because I was to continue the work I had already developed in Coimbra in a different country. Therefore, I was able to obtain a new experience in my life and, above all, new knowledge. Obviously, I also have extended my knowledge about this so-called Generation Y. Both qualitative and quantitative methodological tools were applied for this purpose. Among these mechanisms, I highlight the development of surveys by questionnaire and interviews. Literature reviews were also conducted in order to allow a better understanding of behaviours inherent to this generation. The obtained results were collected from a questionnaire survey completed by people born between 1980 and 1997. This study aimed to explore the perceptions and representations held by the so-called Generation Y about the city of Coimbra. This allowed us to understand the positive and negative aspects of this city, for young people, as well as to portray daily behaviours and attitudes towards work, technology, and family relationships. The resulting information should be ideally used to encourage significant improvements and, consequently, greater levels of well-being, so as to shape the city into and even more attractive and desirable place to live.

John C. Daly is a sixty-one year citizen of Santa Cruz, and as a doctor, a family man and a former mayor he has had a central vantage point on the process of evolution and change Santa Cruz has gone through. This oral history hinges on his perspective on and involvement in the development of Santa Cruz from the small, tight-knit city he moved to in '53 to the college town it is today, where there is a city population of ca. sixty thousand and a student population that exceeds seventeen thousand. However, the scope of the sessions go beyond his public involvement in Santa Cruz to give a broader context of his life, including his childhood, his family, and his service in World War II. Early in his career he took an opportunity to buy an existing practice in Santa Cruz, a quiet town centered on summer beach tourism. It essentially shut down for the rest of the year, leaving rents low and the businesses small. Variety came with its popularity as a convention locale, and the Miss California Pageant at the start of the summer. Daly relates the slow progress his business had in this context, which gave him time to get involved with public service organizations like the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Salvation Army. A few years later, at the urging of local businessmen, he ran for the city council. A newspaper advertisement for his campaign advertised his priorities as establishing a "wider tax base," supporting "residents with fixed incomes," working on "governmental agency cooperation," an "improved storm drain system," and "municipal wharf modernization." He was elected and served one term as a councilman from '59 to '63, including a stint as mayor from '61-'62. During those four years Daly helped support and initiate a series of key growth projects. In the late fifties and early sixties, Santa Cruz acquired the Sky Park Airport, constructed the yacht harbor, built the Loch Lomond Reservoir, oversaw downtown redevelopment, worked with a developer on a major international complex, and competed with San Jose for a University of California campus. The goal of all of this, Daly relates, was to make Santa Cruz into a "very desirable upper-middle class community with a great university," characterized by a thriving business and convention culture. The international complex, for instance, was designed by the lead disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright and featured a glass pyramid hotel, a series of 'courts' showcasing the goods and products of foreign countries, and a concert hall that would show primarily non-domestic acts, speakers and films. The plans were put on display at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The developer estimated it would grow to have two million visitors a year. Just up the hill, the proposed UC campus was to grow to twenty seven thousand, five hundred students by 1990. Daly thought it was perfect. The town was busy in the summer, when many students were away, and then during the off-seasons there would be a robust student presence to fill the town and fuel business. While the Court never came into being due to funding issues, during John's tenure as mayor the UC Regents unexpectedly settled on Santa Cruz as the site for their new campus. It was the culmination of protracted outreach efforts by the city, spearheaded by public officials like Daly. He was thrilled, expecting a wave of well-funded young people in sun tan pants and plaid skirts and bobby socks, like he and his fellow students dressed during his time at Berkeley. However, in the long run the university proved to not conform to these expectations. In these interviews he relates how the students increasingly became politically radicalized in the late sixties and seventies, and began to dress more casually and messily. To compound this trend, the Twenty-Sixth Amendment lowered the voting age to eighteen in '71, and Governor Jerry Brown signed a law that made it easier for students to register to vote in their adopted college communities. The political landscape of the town gradually shifted under these factors. The professional, business culture dominant in the city in the fifties and early sixties was challenged by what Daly terms "no-growthers:" people who were (and are) consistently opposed to development on personal, environmental and political grounds. During Daly's time on the council issues like building the Loch Lomond Reservoir were matter of course, and did not face significant opposition. During the seventies, however an attempt to build another dam, the Zayante Dam, was killed. A second effort to build a convention center at Lighthouse Point, where the Court of the Seven Seas was to have stood, was defeated by popular vote and a major public campaign. Since the sixties and seventies there have been almost no new hotels, and convention business has become marginal. In the eighties the Miss California Pageant relocated after years of protest, and the city council has become the site of increased political conflict. Today Daly feels that the town has been held back in significant and damaging ways by this shift towards a "no-growth" attitude. On personal and professional notes, Daly reflects at length about other challenges he and the city have faced, including the Flood of '55 and the Quake of '89. He discusses the damage, and how the town recovered from those two disasters. More intimately, he reflects on how Santa Cruz has been as a place to raise a family, and for his practice. He discusses the pros and cons of having the UC, including the prestige it has brought the town, and closes with a retrospective and prospective on his own life. He talks about what has been meaningful to him, and returns to dwell on the transformative power education has had for him and his family.

The study results reported here refer to devising improved ways of monitoring the considerable urban residential form changes that have resulted from implementation of the Victorian urban consolidation policy during the intercensal period 2001-2006. The policy applies to the Melbourne Metropolitan Area (MMA) and was designed (among other things) to de-emphasise urban sprawl while facilitating the construction of new dwellings during a time of rapid population growth. Thus, accommodation has involved not only greenfield land development but also population densification via brownfield and infill (re)development in Local Government Areas (LGAs) that were first populated during earlier city expansion phases when the extent of the metropolitan area was smaller than today. The policy is designed to improve the return on investment in existing infrastructure and services, as well as housing affordability and residential liveability. Most of the infill has taken place in the suburbs that were zoned/designated greenfield sites four to five decades ago. Here, both strategic (redevelopment around designated activity centres and around principal public transport networks) and dispersed "infill" development have been facilitated in policy implementation. Most of the "infill" is in the form of backyard developments/land-parcel-sub-division or replacement of old housing to make room for two or more new dwellings. The pattern of change due to this indicates that it has evolved as opportunity presented itself in a booming MMA land and property market. This "retro-fit" of extra dwellings is such that the capacity of some extant infrastructural (e.g. the storm water pipe network) and social service (e.g. schools and clinics) assets may be exceeded while that of others (e.g. the transport network) is likely to become better exploited. In contrast, the liveability and social sustainability of dwellers in newly-developed greenfields is dominated by the lack of access to the public transport network and further distance to public services (i.e. schools and public hospitals). A high level of automobile dependence is imposed on them by the persistence of the traditional urban sprawl approach to land-use planning, even though semi-detached houses and apartments have become included in the dwelling stock, thereby mitigating this tendency somewhat. In all cases of residential urban form change, the social, institutional and environmental impacts spawn a need for site selection for implementation of targeted mitigation measures. The pre-requisite for this task is detailed residential urban form mapping and monitoring. However, at policy launch, and even after eight years of implementation, the traditional approach to urban growth analysis using spatially-aggregated data had not been complemented by the detailed geographies that would serve the necessary monitoring. Thus geographical variation in the pattern of urban form change across a metropolitan area accommodating nearly four million people and governed by thirty one local government areas (LGAs) is undocumented in terms of the pattern of relative significance of greenfield, brownfield and infill development. Accordingly, both statutory and strategic decision support systems lack data and information that would serve them well. The lack of adoption of the full power of digital spatial data handling implied by this, is despite the fact that the various Australian state geographical data coordination committees charged with promoting the analogue-to-digital conversion of public sector mapping were established nearly two decades ago. By way of mitigation, the study reported here is designed to develop a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) parcel-based method for identifying and mapping the extent and location of infill development using various spatial datasets acquired and accessible from local and state government departments. Thus has emerged a method for detailed mapping of not only the pattern changes in the infill development pattern, LGA by LGA, but also the pattern of social impacts, identifiable in terms of census geography. Project results (e.g. as summarised in thematic maps) show that the success of Melbourne 2030 implementation varies across the MMA. For the study period, the trend was that LGAs offering room for new dwellings by brownfield and infill re-development did not see Activity Centres favoured by infill developers. Accordingly, such data integration and analysis as exemplified by this study will be useful in both strategic and social planning, because in both cases, it is important to monitor the actual outcomes for comparison with policy goals. In addition, those involved in site selection and prioritising for the provision of new or up-graded infrastructure, facilities and amenity can be better informed and, thereby, more effective. It is shown that the data streams currently accessible to LGA planning departments in the cities dominated by residential areas established four or five decades ago support the application of spatial statistics and modelling in ways that would allow the relative significance of driving forces and of densification impacts to be derived if the necessary data sharing arrangement can be established. Indications from the present study are that dwelling renewals within a 600 to 800 meter zone buffering the railway stations, or 400 meters of activity hubs like Colleges/University, define most of the infill developments, and that this is more marked if the re-developed housing stock is old enough to have been part of the traditional post WWII quarter acre block greenfield developments. Clearly, those interested in predicting future (opportunistic) infill pattern change trends will be planning spatial queries dominated by interest in documenting the condition (including age) of housing stock in the vicinity of transport network nodes. Adoption for decision support up-grade for further implementation of Melbourne 2030 may be inspired by this study. However, it requires that the stakeholder representatives (e.g. LGAs, community associations, and state government authorities) can agree to sharing the necessary data maintenance and processing costs. It is argued that there is no longer any reason for the detailed geographies exemplified here to be ignored in urban residential form change monitoring in Melbourne, or any other metropolitan area faced with accommodating population growth while maintaining livability without unmitigated urban sprawl with its continuous call for infrastructure subsidy.

Colonel Emhouse of Texas and New York,. one of President Wilson's closest friends, will head the Peace Mission of the United States when one is named to take up with other belligerent representatives the intricate questions to be settled before peace is finally secured. This was the official interpretation placed oil the naming of the Colonel, who has been instructed to gather political, commercial and geographical data to be utilized when a peace conference is held. This does not in any way indicate that hostilities may end soon officials state.There are no British or French official messages to hand from the Western front. FURTHER ITALIAN SUCCESS. Home, September 30th. The Italians, have gained further ground and repulsed the enemy. General Cardorna has rectified his lines by a surprise attack near Monte San Gabrielle.The War Office report reads: " Italian troops made an attack 011 the front above Gorizia yesterday and gained ground which was held in the face of repeated fierce counter attacks." OUST LA FOLLETTE MOTION Washington, September 29th. The move to oust Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, from the United States Senate opened today with the introduction by Senator Kellogg of. Minnesota, of resolutions adopted by the Public Safety Commission of Minnesota demanding Senator La Follett's expulsion. ALLIES TO TIGHTEN THE BLOCKADE OF GERMANY. London, September 30th. A still more vigorous blockade of Germany is to be enforced by the entente allies; as a result of the Conference between Lord Robert Cecil, the British Minister of Blockade with the French Minister of Blockade. Today King George signed a proclamation prohibiting the exportatation of certain articles to Sweden and Holland. His Majesty's approval was also given to other measures to make it more difficult for the enemy in the future to obtain supplies through the neutral countries. JAPAN AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE. New York, September 30th. In the far east the Monroe doctrine guards China says Viscount Ishiu. Speaking amid cheers at a New York banquet in his honour, he declared: " Neither Nippon aggression nor aggression against the territory or independence of China by any other power will be tolerated, and he pledged Japan not to attempt any aggression on her part. The head of the Japanese Mission blamed Germany for the distrust that was prevalent, and stated that he could see the whole world set free by the Allies. " RUSSIAN OFFICIAL.The Russian official communique states: " We pressed enemy's advanced posts back 1000 yards."CUNARD BULLETIN ANOTHER AIR RAID ON LONDON London, September 30th. London was again raided by aeroplanes on the night of September 29th. Three groups approached the city from different directions, but each group was broken up by the defences through which only two of at most three machines managed to penetrate. A fourth group which approached later was also driven off. Bombs were dropped at various places in Kent and Essex. The casualties reported number eleven killed and eighty-two injured. A heavy barrage by our anti aircraft guns was very effective against the enemy. AMERICAN WAR TAX BILL. The House and Senate conferees on the war tax bill reached a final agreement on the measure late yesterday, and the report will be presented to the House tomorrow. The conferees made no change in the approximate levies on excess war profits and incomes. They provided, however, a new system of calculating excess profits. Both Senate and House Committees say the compromise is better than the original draft. NEW YORK'S NEW COLLECTOR. Washington, September 29th The Senate today confirmed the appointment of Mr. Byron Newton, formerly Assistant Secretary of the Treasury as Collector of Customs of the port of New York. Mr. Newton succeeds Mr. Dudley Field M alone. AMERICAN ARMY NEWS. Washington, September 30th. Brigadier General John A. Le Jenn, for three years Senior Assistant to the Major General Commandant at Marine Corps Headquarters has been ordered to command the Marine Cantonment at Quantico, Virginia. NEW SEAMEN'S CLUB FOR NEW YORK. New York. October 1st.The new Clubhouse for the use of American Naval Seamen was opened today at West End Avenue and 93rd Street. The Clubhouse was donated by Professor Blander Matthews and will be directed by the National Special Aid Commission as part of its string of Soldier's and Sailor's Home Clubs. STORM SWEEPS MISSISSIPPI AND FLORIDA COASTS. New Orleans, September 30th. Rescue steamers were being made ready here to-day to go to the relief of Pensacola, Florida, which was cut off from the outside world by the hurricane which has. swept the vicinity. Every attempt is being made to reach the isolated city. Biloxi, Harrison Co., a gulf port, and other Southern Mississippi towns in the storm's path weathered the seventy five mile gale with a few unroofed houses and other slight damage. Subscription lists and other charitable schemes have been started for the relief of the homeless. WAR RELIEF FUND. The American Women's War Relief Fund has equipped and entirely financed a Clinical Hospital of 250 beds at Paignton, Devonshire, and has organized an Economical Relief Scheme, where many women thrown out of employment directly owing to the war, are given employment. Funds are urgently needed to carry on these objects. All donations will be gratefully received by the Hon. Treasurer, WALTER S. H. BURNS, 58, Grosvenor Gardens, LONDON. Offices: 31, Old Burlington Street, London, Eng. where all particulars will be gladly given.

An illustrated look at corals from around the world. Corals are among the most varied lifeforms on Earth, ranging from mushroom corals and leather corals to button polyps, sea fans, anemones, and pulse corals. Bridging the gap between plant and animal, these marine invertebrates serve as homes to reef fish and share symbiotic relationships with photosynthesizing algae, which provide corals with their nourishment. This stunningly illustrated book profiles the astonishing diversity of the world's coral groups, describing key aspects of their natural history and explaining why coral reefs are critical to the health of our oceans. Representative examples of corals have been selected to illustrate the broad range of species, and the book's lively and informative commentary covers everything from identification to conservation, making it an essential resource for marine biologists, divers, and anyone who is fascinated by these remarkable sea creatures. Features more than 200 exquisite color photos; highlights key aspects of corals and their natural history; features representative examples from around the world; and includes photos of rare and unusual species

This paper examines poor households in the city of Mumbai and their exposure, vulnerability, and ability to respond to recurrent floods. The paper discusses policy implications for future adaptive capacity, resilience, and poverty alleviation. The study focuses particularly on the poor households, which tend to have greater exposure and vulnerability to floods and limited ability to respond given the constraints on physical and financial resources. The study seeks to understand the implications of the fact that poor households are more likely than non-poor households to be located in flood-prone areas. The study used the land use maps for the selected flood-prone areas to determine the extent and spread of poor and non-poor households and other types of assets and activities in areas with chronic and localized flooding. Primary data were obtained through detailed household surveys to understand the vulnerability and impacts of the extreme floods of July 2005, recurrent floods and the ability of households to respond and cope. The study examined the option of relocation to flood-free areas and identified factors that influence families' decisions regarding relocation. The study finds that a significantly large proportion of poor households are located near areas with chronic and localized flooding. These households are either below the poverty line or have low incomes and reside in informal settlements or old and dilapidated structures. Future climate risks are likely to put greater burden on the poor and push them further into poverty unless well directed efforts are made to protect them.

The New Year is Russia's most important holiday. Millions of people sit down before their TV screens, eat the Russian "Olivier" salad, drink, and, after Putin's speech, have fun. The New Year's performance has to be shown on every national TV channel. But this time something went wrong.Several stars of the pop scene—those who have been a fixture on all major entertainment TV shows—were cut from the programs this year. The whys and wherefores of their absences point to another front in the Kremlin's war on those who don't toe the line—"traitors."Influence Does Not Save One from the Kremlin's DispleasureThe blogger Nastya Ivleeva, Russia's answer to Kim Kardashian, organized a party with the dress code of "almost naked." The party caused a storm of indignation in Russia from ultra-patriots and guardians of morality. Those artists who were seen in pictures taken at the party's venue, the club Mutabor, were publicly shamed.Vladimir Soloviev, the Kremlin's chief pro-war mouthpiece, went after them savagely: "There is a war going on in the country, but these creatures, scum, are organizing all this. How morally deaf do you have to be?! The Supreme Commander-in-Chief raises a glass to our Victory, and you, bastards, who are you cheering for? You can't even imagine how people hate and despise you!"Russia's major pop stars, including Philip Kirkorov and Dima Bilan, posted public apologies. But those gestures did not seem to help them. Until now they have remained silent about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Firmly gripping their cocktail glasses, they believed their silence was enough to let them go on with their old lives.They were wrong. Now Putin's security henchmen have come after them. That is part two of the Kremlin's campaign to get even with those who thought they were safely out of the Kremlin's reach.There Is No Safety in Leaving, EitherPart one is persecution of those who left the country after Russia brutally attacked Ukraine. According to various estimates, about one million people have fled the country since February 2022. Russia is a large country. The niches vacated by those who left were quickly filled.Moscow, for example, is seen by many as a blooming metropolis. It might seem that the authorities would have forgotten about those who relocated to other countries. After all, the authorities did not prevent us from leaving. Yet throughout the past year, officials and propagandists were sending curses and threats after those who left. Russia's security and judiciary organs busied themselves filing criminal cases against the "traitors."Putin's fan club will do its best to discredit and intimidate us. Just as under Stalin, images of an undesirable person disappear from photographs. The idea is to deprive those who were part of Russia's mass culture and had the courage to oppose the war of any influence on Russian society. Among those who left the country are some top stars, including the singer Alla Pugacheva. Several generations of Russians grew up worshipping "the Diva," as she was called.Pugacheva's departure and that of her husband, Maxim Galkin, who is also a top show business figure in Russia, infuriated the pro-Putin community. Pugacheva herself did not express any direct protest, but her gesture of leaving was enough for the propagandists. Offensive inscriptions quickly appeared on the façade of the TV center Ostankino in Moscow: "Alla, it's good that you ran away. Alla, we are all tired of you."Reputations and Livelihoods Destroyed by the Machinery of the StateBut it is not enough simply to insult the enemy. Among the Kremlin's army of media figures is a duo of professional pranksters who call themselves Vovan and Lexus. The former British prime minister Boris Johnson, the Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar, the singer Elton John, and many other prominent figures are among the hoaxers' victims.

In the recent past, denunciations have been written against such important authors as Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Dmitry Glukhovsky, and Viktor Erofeev.Lists comprising hundreds of names are published on the website of the Russian Ministry of Justice. Those lists are added to on a regular basis, generally every Friday. The denunciations are intended to sow suspicion among the public, so that more Russian citizens can be inspired to Google the authors' names and throw away their books. Independent media outlets, of course, are persecuted too. TV Rain, the channel I work for, was twice declared a "foreign agent" under recent legislation. It was also labeled an undesirable organization, which makes any cooperation with it illegal in Russia.Enormous forces have been deployed to harass people working for independent media, or the Bykovs and Akunins of Russia, or, say, the actor Anatoly Bely, who was also denounced and publicly shamed for his antiwar stance. Thousands of pieces of paper need to be moved from one place to another, thousands of court hearings need to be scheduled and conducted. The good news is that the Kremlin is afraid of its opponents' influence.

The New Year is Russia's most important holiday. Millions of people sit down before their TV screens, eat the Russian "Olivier" salad, drink, and, after Putin's speech, have fun. The New Year's performance has to be shown on every national TV channel. But this time something went wrong.Several stars of the pop scene—those who have been a fixture on all major entertainment TV shows—were cut from the programs this year. The whys and wherefores of their absences point to another front in the Kremlin's war on those who don't toe the line—"traitors."Influence Does Not Save One from the Kremlin's DispleasureThe blogger Nastya Ivleeva, Russia's answer to Kim Kardashian, organized a party with the dress code of "almost naked." The party caused a storm of indignation in Russia from ultra-patriots and guardians of morality. Those artists who were seen in pictures taken at the party's venue, the club Mutabor, were publicly shamed.Vladimir Soloviev, the Kremlin's chief pro-war mouthpiece, went after them savagely: "There is a war going on in the country, but these creatures, scum, are organizing all this. How morally deaf do you have to be?! The Supreme Commander-in-Chief raises a glass to our Victory, and you, bastards, who are you cheering for? You can't even imagine how people hate and despise you!"Russia's major pop stars, including Philip Kirkorov and Dima Bilan, posted public apologies. But those gestures did not seem to help them. Until now they have remained silent about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Firmly gripping their cocktail glasses, they believed their silence was enough to let them go on with their old lives.They were wrong. Now Putin's security henchmen have come after them. That is part two of the Kremlin's campaign to get even with those who thought they were safely out of the Kremlin's reach.There Is No Safety in Leaving, EitherPart one is persecution of those who left the country after Russia brutally attacked Ukraine. According to various estimates, about one million people have fled the country since February 2022. Russia is a large country. The niches vacated by those who left were quickly filled.Moscow, for example, is seen by many as a blooming metropolis. It might seem that the authorities would have forgotten about those who relocated to other countries. After all, the authorities did not prevent us from leaving. Yet throughout the past year, officials and propagandists were sending curses and threats after those who left. Russia's security and judiciary organs busied themselves filing criminal cases against the "traitors."Putin's fan club will do its best to discredit and intimidate us. Just as under Stalin, images of an undesirable person disappear from photographs. The idea is to deprive those who were part of Russia's mass culture and had the courage to oppose the war of any influence on Russian society. Among those who left the country are some top stars, including the singer Alla Pugacheva. Several generations of Russians grew up worshipping "the Diva," as she was called.Pugacheva's departure and that of her husband, Maxim Galkin, who is also a top show business figure in Russia, infuriated the pro-Putin community. Pugacheva herself did not express any direct protest, but her gesture of leaving was enough for the propagandists. Offensive inscriptions quickly appeared on the façade of the TV center Ostankino in Moscow: "Alla, it's good that you ran away. Alla, we are all tired of you."Reputations and Livelihoods Destroyed by the Machinery of the StateBut it is not enough simply to insult the enemy.

The U.S. is poised to supply Ukraine with ATACMS missiles, according to an ABC News report on Saturday. "They are coming," an official said, adding that all plans concerning security assistance to Ukraine are subject to change. Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, are "on the table" for a future aid package, a second official told ABC. ATACMS missiles — which boast a range 190 miles or 300 km — could help Ukrainian forces strike targets in Crimea, regarded by top Ukrainian officials and many Western observers as the Ukraine War's decisive terrain. The planned ATACMS transfer has not been corroborated by any officials willing to speak on the record. "There's no decision on ATACMS right now," said White House spokesman John Kirby, according to ABC News. "As the president has said, they're not off the table… we continue to discuss the viability of ATACMS," he added.The reported decision to send ACAMS missiles to Ukraine, if confirmed, would follow a longstanding Western pattern of initially refusing to supply Kyiv with certain high-profile weapons only to reverse course as the war drags on. Senior U.S. officials asserted in the opening weeks of the 2022 Russian invasion that there are no plans to send Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine. They noted that these systems would need to be operated on Ukrainian territory by American troops, thus making the U.S. an active participant in the conflict. Meanwhile, as late as January 2023, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley reportedly opposed sending M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine amid concerns that they don't serve the Ukrainian military's needs and are too complicated to operate, maintain, and repair. The White House has since reversed its stance on both issues, supplying Kyiv with one Patriot system and approving the transfer of 31 M1A2 Abrams tanks. The ongoing debate over deliveries of F-16 jet fighters is playing out in similar fashion. President Biden and top administration officials have repeatedly ruled out sending F-16s to Ukraine over the past 18months, echoing concerns about escalation if the jets are used to strike targets inside Russia. The White House announced in August that it will begin training Ukrainian pilots on F-16s later this year, a dramatic volte face that is intended to lay the groundwork for Ukraine to receive and operate F-16s provided by U.S. allies Denmark and the Netherlands. Saturday's report is the clearest indication yet that the provision of ATACMS could follow this well-established pattern of months of hesitancy or even outright refusal followed by a stark, sudden reversal. Not everyone thinks it's a good idea."As the Biden administration grows more desperate to show progress in the war, it is running greater and greater risks in daring Moscow to retaliate against the West," the Quincy Institute's Director of Grand Strategy George Beebe said Saturday after the news. "The danger is that we will only discover where Russia's red lines are drawn after we have crossed them."The West's "boiling the frog" approach to Ukraine aid appears to be premised on a range of calculations concerning Russian behavior and the war's underlying dynamics. Western policymakers reportedly share the concern that a sudden, drastic surge in aid, marshaling the full might of NATO's arsenal into colossal aid packages announcing all available weapons within a short time span, could invite catastrophic escalation up to and including the use of nuclear weapons and a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO. By spacing out deliveries of major weapons systems, the thinking goes, the West can slowly dilute Russia's red lines and ramp up aid to Ukraine at minimal risk. Secondly, Ukraine's armed forces (AFU) are limited in how much aid they can absorb by training, logistics, and maintenance requirements. Western governments can pledge everything at once, but it would still take years for the weapons to be delivered, deployed, and utilized in substantial quantities. The ATACMS report follows closely on the heels of a surprise announcement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukrainian forces have begun using domestically produced long-range missiles. Zelenskyy said the mystery missile was used to successfully strike a target as far as 700 kms away, with the secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, noting that the new weapon boasts an even longer range.No details concerning this unnamed missile have been independently confirmed, nor has its existence been verified. Whereas the weapons provided by Kyiv's western backers come with prohibitions on strikes against targets inside Russian territory, the AFU can use missiles it manufactures without any such constraints. Ukrainian officials made no secret of their plans for this new weapon: "Believe me, already very soon someone [in Russia] will be burned, and burned in the direct sense of the word," Danilov said, according to the Washington Post. Though ATACMS possess roughly four times the range of the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, missiles being transferred by the U.S. to Ukraine, there is no evidence to suggest that they significantly outrange the Storm Shadow missiles pledged and supplied to Ukraine by the British and French earlier this summer. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova insisted in September 2022 that the provision of longer-range weapons to Kyiv is a "red line" that would make the U.S. "a party to the conflict." Moscow's response to such deliveries, threatened Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, will be to capture more of Ukraine's territory: "The further you supply weapons, the further we will move away from our territory the line beyond which [Ukraine can strike Russia]," he said. Signals that the U.S. is inching closer to greenlighting the provision of ATACMS missiles may have been spurred by disappointing battlefield developments. As the main thrust of Ukraine's much-anticipated summer counteroffensive in the southern Zaporizhzhia region continues to yield marginal gains at a "slower than expected" pace, Western planners and policymakers are already discussing upcoming Ukrainian offensives in 2024 and beyond. Though neither platform can make it to Ukraine in time for the summer counteroffensive, some military observers believe that F-16s and ATACMS can play a key role in Ukraine's future attempts to recapture Russian-occupied territory in the country's south and southeast.

For its restoration and functioning in the western regions of Ukraine, Stalin's regime used various means of ideological-propaganda «processing» of the population. In contemporary conditions of Ukraine, which suffers a military-political aggression and powerful information war from the Russian Federation, it is important to analyze the mechanisms of distribution of antinational and antistate propaganda in the historical plane within the borders of concrete regions in order to develop effective ways of its counteraction.The period of the restoration of the Soviet system in this territory embraces 1944 – 1945. The local authorities considered to restore the party's activity and state structures as their priority, in order to organize a large-scale political work and to intensify ideological pressure in all spheres of life. The information and propaganda storm should, first of all, prove the impossibility of any successful resistance to the regime, discredit liberation movement, and «to tear off the majority of the population from the influence of the Ukrainian and German nationalists».The cadres from other regions of Ukraine and the USSR were to become the system's support in «the region infected with nationalism» and to carry «the communistic ideology into the masses». Important ideological-propaganda tasks had to be carried out by the party, Komsomol, and trade-union organization which were created at all the enterprises and establishments of Drohobych region. Communists and Komsomol members, as the most conscious citizens, should carry the basic burden of social-political and public-organizational works. For preparation and retraining of cadres for ideological-propaganda work at the republican and regional levels, a system of party educational institutions started to be formed. The press and radio provided the system's information support. The theatre, cinema, and radio also had to become important ideological tools.Carrying out the educational policy of the party, state education structures created conditions of obligatory attendance of all children and teenagers, boys and girls, and could from early age absorb communist ideas. It was realized in various ways, like adopting the law on education for all, accurately outlined and sustained in the spirit of communist moral curriculums, constant expansion of the network of teaching and educational establishments, attraction of children and studying youth to the pioneer and Komsomol organizations, various actions of out-of-class influence on pupils.It is proved that for restoration of a totalitarian regime in the western regions of Ukraine, suppressing of the national-liberation movement, destruction of the Ukrainian national idea and traditions, the Soviet system applied all possible means. A great attention was drawn to propaganda-ideological methods. A whole branched system of ideological-propaganda influence in all strata and groups of the population, including universities, was created. Mass media, evident propaganda, education, culture, attributes of the Soviet way of life were the tools of the Soviet propaganda. However, considering small efficiency of ideological influences on the population of Drohobych region, forceful methods became dominating in overcoming of the resistance to the Soviet regime. ; Сталінський режим для свого відновлення та функціонування в західних областях України використовував різноманітні засоби ідеологічно-пропагандистської «обробки» населення. В умовах, коли наша держава зазнала військово-політичної агресії з боку Російськлої Федерації, потужної інформаційної війни, важливо проаналізувати механізми поширення антинаціональної і антидержавницької пропаганди в історичному розрізі у межах конкретних регіонів, щоб виробити ефективні шляхи її протидії.Метою статті є висвітлення змісту та заходів ідеологічно-пропагандистської політики радянської системи в західних областях України у процесі відновлення радянського режиму в краї на основі матеріалів Дрогобицької області.1944 – 1945 роки це період відновлення радянської системи в краї. Першочерговими завданнями влади на місцях було відновити діяльність партійних й державних органів, які мали проводити широкомасштабну політичну роботу, розгорнути ідеологічний наступ на всі сфери життя. Інформаційно-пропагандистський штурм мав насамперед довести неможливість успішного спротиву режимові, дискредитувати визвольний рух, «відірвати основну масу населення з-під впливу українських-німецьких націоналістів».Політична недовіра до місцевих була однією з причин того, що керівні органи формувалися винятково з присланих кадрів, які вводилися до номенклатури області. Приїжджі з інших регіонів України та СРСР мали стати опорою системи в «зараженому націоналізмом регіоні», нести в «маси» комуністичну ідеологію. Виконувати важливі ідеологічно-пропагандистські завданння мали партійні, комсомольські, профспілкові організації, які створювалися на всіх підприємствах і установах Дрогобицької області. Комуністи та комсомольці, як найбільш свідомі, мали нести основний тягар суспільно-політичної та громадсько-організаційної роботи на місцях, здійснювати ідеологічну обробку населення з ключових для влади питань. Для підготовки та перепідготовки кадрів для ідеологічно-пропагандистської роботи на рівні республіки і областей почала формуватися система партійних освітніх закладів. Основні функції управління агітацією і пропагандою мав відділ пропаганди та агітації при ЦК КП(б)У, а також відповідні структурні підрозділи у компартійних комітетах різних рівнів. Для масового ідеологічного впливу на населення була розроблена ціла система суспільно-політичних заходів. Найбільш поширеною їх формою були лекції. Систематично проводилися мітинги, збори, наради, семінари, бесіди. Основним завданням ідеологічно-пропагандистської політики радянської влади було охопити максимально усі групи тодішнього населення. Особливе значення для партійно-радянського керівництва мала робота серед інтелігенції. Жінок, молоді.Пропагування комуністичних ідей, забезпечення підтримки політики радянської влади в регіоні, організації ідеологічно-політичної боротьби проти ОУН і УПА здійснювали центральні та місцеві засоби масової інформації. Преса, радіо забезпечували інформаційний супровід системи. Важливими ідеологічними інструментами мали стати кіно, театр, радіо.Здійснюючи освітньо-виховну політику партії, державні органи освіти створювали умови для того, щоб усі діти, підлітки, юнаки і дівчата відвідували школу, а отже, щоб усі вони з раннього віку проймалися партійно-комуністичними ідеями. Це реалізовувалося різноманітними шляхами: впровадженням закону про всеобуч, чітко окресленими і витриманими в дусі комуністичної ідейності навчальними програмами, постійним розширенням мережі навчально-виховних закладів, залученням дітей та учнівської молоді до піонерських і комсомольських організацій, різноманітними заходами позакласного впливу на учнів.Доведено, що для відновлення тоталітарного режиму в західних областях України, подолання національно-визвольного руху, знищення української національної ідеї, національних традицій, радянська система застосовувала усі можливі чинники. Велика увага приділялася пропагандистсько-ідеологічним методам. Була створена розгалужена система ідеологічно-пропагандистського впливу у на всі верстви та групи населення. Інструментами радянської пропаганди були засоби масової інформації, наочна агітація, освіта, культура, атрибути радянського способу життя. З огляду на малу ефективність ідеологічних впливів на населення Дрогобицької області, насильницькі методи стали панівними у подоланні спротиву радянському режимові.
