Articles by Elena Marushiakova and Vesselin Popov

  1. WELL-EDUCATED BALTIC STATES MERGERS HAVE BECOME A NECESSITY

    In order to ascend another rung on the development ladder, all three Baltic countries are engaged in higher education reform. Latvia has the furthest to go.

  2. baltic sea library about “Balticness”

    The Baltic Sea Library is a web-based literary project run by a group of editors from all the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, plus Iceland. The website resembles an anthology and contains poetry, novel excerpts, and other genres in all the literatures of the region. The unifying aspect is something the editors call “Balticness”, and each text is accompanied by an explanation of its connection to the Baltic Sea.

  3. Mass murder or genocide? Debates on atrocities continue

    Edward S. Herman (ed.) The Srebrenica Massacre Evidence, Context, Politics. Foreword by Phillip Corwin, 2011, 300 pages

  4. Estonia deserves attention. The missing civil society

    Journal of Baltic Studies, March 2009, Journal of the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies

  5. Relic of the Gulag or socialist welfare? Thoughts about an orphanage in Southern Russia

    Orphanage No. 7 in Taganrog was one of the former Soviet orphanages that came into contact with the new charity early on, in the form of summer vacation exchanges with Swedish host families. The reality Swedish visitors encountered in Taganrog and elsewhere, however, was not always of the dreaded kind — a destitute shelter for desperate children abandoned by the world — although such a description was at times apt, especially in reference to homes for the mentally disabled. What they found instead were tangible traces and elements of entirely different plans and ambitions.

  6. Right wing extremism. Conceived football hooliganism

    Nationalist and anti-Semitic symbols, racist statements and the making of monkey sounds when black players enter the plan are a few examples of what goes on the football fields in Ukraine and Poland. Racism and intolerance are not exclusive problems for the two countries hosting the football championships, but a shared concern for Europe.

  7. DOPING IN EAST GERMAN FOOTBALL SINCE THE MID-1960s

    The range of evidence and countries involved in doping advises caution against a one-dimensional criticism and demonisation of the ‘Other Europe’.

  8. Ilija Batljan. Committed to Baltic Sea issues

    Södertörn University, where Baltic Worlds is published, now has a chairman of the governing board, a Swedish former Social Democratic career politician, who grew up the Montenegro of Yugoslavia: Ilija Batljan. Here he is profiled in an interview

  9. The dividend of UEFA EURO 2012: Corruption in the shadow of soccer tournaments

    The UEFA EURO 2012 is big business and corruption is rampant and well entrenched in all aspects of Ukrainian political, economic and social life.

  10. Football against Sex Tourism and Prostitution?

    EURO 2012 makes prostitution not just a Ukrainian problem, but an European issue.
