Democracy: More Than Ever We can and Must Do Better Than That -- By Bob Avakian This cry of “the dictatorship of the party” is inescapably linked with “they should not have taken to arms”—the refrain raised by counterrevolutionaries in condemnation of the Paris Commune as well as the Russian Revolution, as Lenin pointed out, and the common refrain of such people in opposition to all genuine revolutions, especially proletarian revolutions. The dictatorship of the proletariat also involves an element of coercion, by the state, in relation not only to antagonistic classes but also to individuals among the (broad category of) the people. The practical programme for establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat which started with the attractive slogan, ‘All power to the Soviets’ ended with the reality that the dictatorship of the proletariat was exercised through the Communist Party, where the Soviets became mere cogwheels in the machine. rwor.org /bob_avakian/democracy   (14022 words)

Guide and Index to Lists of Rulers One motivation is that history is often not taught anymore in terms of dynasties and rulers, since this is thought (by an academic elite comfortably supported by the taxpayers) to be too elitist and too removed from the life of the people. This had consequences in the 19th Century, when the Russians, for strategic as well as ideological and religious reasons, This is all collapsed in the table above into the category of "Pre-Roman Rulers," but it is, of course, a vast subject, beginning with Egypt and Sumer and continuing right up to the kingdoms of the Hellenistic age. www.friesian.com /histindx.htm   (3013 words)

NATIONAL-BOLSHEVISM In that case �nation� was interpreted in the analogous way to how the concept �narod� (people, nation) was interpreted by Russian narodniks, that is, like some organic, whole being, in essence not yielding to any anatomical subdivision, having its own specific fate and unique structure. Almost immediately after the revolution the term �bolshevism� has lost it�s limited meaning and has become to be perceived as a synonym for the �majority�, �all-national policy�, �national integration� (�bolshevik� can be approximately translated from Russian as a �representative of the majority�). It is this Gnostic tendency of Marx and his predecessors was applied by the Russian bolsheviks, who were raised up in an environment, where the enigmatic forces of Russian sects, mysticism, national messiaism, secret societies and passionate romantic characters of Russian rebels were being summoned against the alienated, temporal, degraded monarchic regime. www.arctogaia.com /public/eng-teor.htm   (1665 words)

A Russophone (Russian: русскоговорящий, русскоязычный, russkogovoryashchy, russkoyazychny) is literally the speaker of an Russian language either natively or by preference. Ironically, the significant number of Russian cultural associations in an United States are affiliated with Jewish Community Centers, called Juykas by American Russophones. samaira.clubblogs.com /Russophone   (361 words)

Circumnavigation, Empire, Modernity, Race: "Meeting of Frontiers" Conference (European Reading Room,Library of Congress) The second charter of the Russian-American Company, enacted in 1821 but negotiated throughout the second half of the 1810s, made the Creoles into a de facto separate social estate and formalized their status as members of a distinct group of people who were neither fully Russian nor fully Native. It was only after the initiation of the circumnavigation voyages that the children produced by the unions between Russians and North American Natives came to be labeled as a separate group; this new social category came to be known as kreoly (Creoles). A leading participant of the first round-the-world voyage, Nikolai Rezanov (1764-1807), Emperor Alexander I's emissary to Japan and the highest ranking official ever to visit Russian America, is the first on record (in 1805) to use the term kreol, albeit informally. www.loc.gov /rr/european/mofc/vinkovetsky.html   (361 words)

Promoting Veps' Culture in Karelia While in practice Veps became a ‘small-numbered people’, they were not included in the official list of ‘small-numbered people of the north’ (applied to groups residing in the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation) and thus did not benefit for the special allocations granted to this category. Despite these measures and the establishment of a national territorial autonomy, the dire conditions of widespread social and economic crisis hitting the Russian federation as a whole and also the republic of Karelia did not allow for an immediate improvement of the living conditions of the Vepsian communities. The Veps are a Finno-Ugric minority, settled mainly on the southern coast of the Onega lake. www.cemes.org /current/LGI/158-eng.htm   (1299 words)

Anne Applebaum -- Gulag: A History Intro Unlike criminal prison camps, or prisoner-of-war camps, concentration camps were built for a particular type of noncriminal civilian prisoner, the member of an "enemy" group, or at any rate of a category of people who, for reasons of their race or their presumed politics, were judged to be dangerous or extraneous to society. Properly speaking, the Gulag belongs to the history of the Soviet Union; to the international as well as the Russian history of prisons and exile; and to the particular intellectual climate of continental Europe in the mid-twentieth century, which also produced the Nazi concentration camps in Germany. At other times--when the Gulag found itself overburdened with women, children, and old people, or when soldiers were needed to fight at the front--prisoners were released in mass amnesties. www.anneapplebaum.com /gulag/intro.html   (9506 words)

CONTENDING WITH STALINISM Contending with Stalinism also highlights the problematic nature of resistance as an analytical category and stresses the ambiguous nature of the phenomenon. Viola rightly remarks that the term "Stalinism" "lacks explanatory or causal force"; it is necessary to look closely at how people in and outside the governing apparatus behaved. Resistance has become an important and controversial analytical category for the study of Stalinism. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu /cup_detail.taf?ti_id=3818   (819 words)

Russia, Poland, Belorussia and the like: Nordic or Slavic countries? [Archive] - Stormfront White Nationalist Community But no doubt these people are slavic not of the nordic category, but also at the same time to ask such a question you must analyse the history and ask more numerous questions into it. Truth is you hear that german ethnicities were driven out by the soviets, actually it was an ethnic cleansing to make room for the new russian population to live there, rather these ethnic germans were prussians and the descendents of these people live in exile from their homeland. If you ask the average prussian just like the average Latvian, Lithuanian or estonian as being falsely classified as slavic due to political pressures and agenda they would be more then happy to expand on this for you. www.stormfront.org /archive/t-137811Russia,_Poland,_Belorussia_and_the_like:_Nordic_or_Slavic_countries?.html   (269 words)

= N = From the remark "We'd like to order N wonton soups and a family dinner for N - 1" you can deduce that one person at the table wants to eat only soup, even though you don't know how many people there are (see great-wall). For example, when a meal is being ordered at a restaurant, N may be understood to mean however many people there are at the table. Note, however, that the NP- prefix is, from a complexity theorist's point of view, the wrong part of `NP-complete' to connote extreme difficulty; it is the completeness, not the NP-ness, that puts any problem it describes in the `hard' category. www.ctrl-c.liu.se /~ingvar/jargon/n.html   (4594 words)

Al-Qaeda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Indeed the Taliban might be deemed to fall into this category, the roots of the organisation formed from radicalised students from the Bin-Laden funded medressas of the Afghan refugee camps at the time of the Russian occupation. During the Gulf War, the organization's interests became split between outrage with the intervention of the United Nations in the region and hatred of Saddam Hussein's secular government, as well as expression of concern for the suffering that Islamic people in Iraq were undergoing. Bin Laden referred to Saddam Hussein (and the Baathists) as evil, a demon or devil worshipper in his speeches and recorded/written announcements, calling for his overthrow by the people of Iraq. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Al_Qaeda   (5598 words)

rec.aviation.military Frequently Asked Questions (part 4 of 5) Russian aircraft designations In the 1920s and 1930s, many different designation systems were used for Russian aircraft; the People's Comissariat of Defence had its own system, and each manufacturer had another, usually based on the initials of the designer or organisation (for example, A N Tupolev's ANT-6 was also known as the TB-3). A designation consists of a letter (or set of letters) indicating the type and mission of the aircraft, and a sequence number indicating a specific aircraft within a category, separated by a hyphen. The designation A-12 for the original, single-seat version of the aircraft that became the SR-71/YF-12/M-21 was an internal Lockheed designation, not an official USAF one (the A-12s were operated by the CIA and never officially entered military service). www.cs.uu.nl /wais/html/na-dir/mil-aviation-faq/part4.html   (2092 words)

Kazakh Kazakh is considered to be a Category II language in terms of difficulty for speakers of English. Although Kazakh has a well developed tradition of oral poetry, it was not written until the middle of the 19th century when Russians, who ruled the Kazakhs since the 18th century, started to settle the nomadic Kazakhs and to russify their culture and language. Until 1929, Kazakh was written with the Arabic script; from 1929 to 1940 it was written with the Roman script; and from 1940 on with a modified version of the Cyrillic alphabet that consists of the standard Russian letters plus additional symbols to represent Kazakh sounds. www.nvtc.gov /lotw/months/march/Kazakh.html   (614 words)
