This research examines the concept of 'homo sovieticus' by reviewing the sociological essay novel homo sovieticus written by Zinoviev who was one of the well-known dissident in Soviet Union period, and attempts to have critical understanding of the concept. It is an interesting research topic that current Russia and Russians who get through the historical layers from Soviet to post-Soviet regime at the time current trend that allows to have various academic discussions of post-Soviet. It is required to examine the past of Russia and Russian to make precise estimation of their current and future. Therefore, it is necessary to re-examine the term of 'homo sovieticus' which is conventionally accepted. This research aims at broad comprehension of homo-sovieticus by focusing on the Zinoviev's own understanding instead of the habitual use of the term which only contains ideological and political intention.

소련 해체와 이에 따른 냉전 종식 이후 러시아는 미국이 주도하는 국제질서 속에서 자국의 국가이익에 맞는 역할과 위상을 모색해 왔다. 미국의 세계정책에 조건부로 공조하기도 하고, 옛 소련지역을 포함하는 포스트소비에트 공간에 대해서는 자국의 이익을 보호하고 영향력을 복원하려는 적극적인 노력도 경주하고 있다. 그 이유는 포스트소비에트 공간은 에너지 자원 확보와 국제정치 행위자들의 영향력 증대 및 제 국가의 국제사회 위상 제고 등을 둘러싸고 21세기 새롭게 부각하는 러시아와 미국을 위시한 서방세계의 세력 각축장이라고 할 수 있기 때문이다. 특히, 포스트소비에트 공간의 추축국으로 인식되었던 우크라이나는 전통적인 배타적 영향력을 유지하려는 러시아와 소련 해체 이후 지속적으로 영향력을 확대하고자 하는 미국 및 서방 세력이 충돌하며 '신냉전'적 세력경쟁의 양상이 표출되는 지역이다. 이 글은 러시아가 구사하는 군사안보차원의 전략과 정책은 무엇이며, 이것이 포스트소비에트 공간의 주요 국가인 우크라이나에서 어떻게 투사되고 있는지, 그리고 이 과정에서 표출되는 우크라이나 및 서방과 러시아의 갈등 요인은 무엇이며, 그 양상은 어떻게 전개되고 있는가에 대해 고찰하고 있다.

This article is focused how the maritime strategy between continental powered country(the Soviet, the China) and maritime powered country(the U.S.) interact with attack and defense theory. We will know, what is the maritime strategy that the U.S. of military superiority has pursued with the point of view of attack, on the other hand, relatively what is the maritime strategy that the Soviet-Sino of military inferiority has pursued with the point of view of defense. In cold war, the Soviet has counteracted to 'blue belt defense' in active defense as to the U.S. 'sea strike' and in post cold war, the China counteract to 'A2/AD' as to the U.S. 'Air-Sea Battle'. The difference between the Soviet-Sino maritime strategy is that the China has emerged the second an economic power and their leadership has a strong's will to strengthen their navy's power. although the U.S. declare the pivot to Asia, the influence on Asia of the U.S. tend to decrease because of sequest. therefore, the China will seek to the more active defense beyond the first island chain. Meanwhile, the U.S. has reinforced of 'hub and spoke strategy' to solidify the U.S. formal allies to band together regional powers and to overcome the A2/AD challenge, the U.S. has been developed that the Air-Sea Battle concept meshes with Washington's 'rebalancing' policy toward the Asia-Pacific as its vital missions to safeguard core island or semi-island allies-namely, Korea and Japan-and crucial sea lanes of communication in the region are conducted mostly from or over the sea.

Objectives: This study investigated the prevalence and characteristics of comorbid conditions in patients exposed to ionizing radiation and those who were involved in the Soviet-Afghan war. Methods: This study analyzed the frequency and spectrum of morbidity and comorbidity in patients over a long-term period (30-35 years) following exposure to ionizing radiation at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site or the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, and among participants of the Soviet-Afghan war. A cohort study, both prospective and retrospective, was conducted on 675 patients who underwent comprehensive examinations. Results: Numerical data were analyzed using the Statistica 6 program. The results are presented as the mean±standard deviation, median, and interquartile range (25-75th percentiles). The statistical significance of between-group differences was assessed using the Student t-test and Pearson chi-square test. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. We found a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension (55.0%) and cardiac ischemia (32.9%); these rates exceeded the average for this age group in the general population. Conclusions: The cumulative impact of causal occupational, environmental, and ultra-high stress factors in the combat zone in participants of the Soviet-Afghan war, along with common conventional factors, contributed to the formation of a specific comorbidity structure. This necessitates a rational approach to identifying early predictors of cardiovascular events and central nervous system disorders, as well as pathognomonic clinical symptoms in this patient cohort. It also underscores the importance of selecting suitable methods and strategies for implementing treatment and prevention measures.

To determine the effects of genetic and environmental influences on cell mediated immune (CMI) responses in broiler rabbits, contact sensitivity to 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) was assessed in three temperate broiler breeds of rabbits, namely Soviet Chinchilla, New Zealand White and Grey Giant. The feasibility of using the contact sensitivity to DNCB as a marker trait in selection for disease resistance was examined. There were highly significant differences between breeds (p<0.01) in initial skin thickness and contact sensitivities to DNCB at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Initial skin thickness was greatest in the Soviet Chinchilla breed (mean 2.2484 mm), and was significantly greater (p<0.01) in males (2.4963 mm) than in females (1.7846 mm) (p<0.01). Highest contact sensitivity to DNCB was in the New Zealand White breed with mean increase in skin thickness of 1.1884, 0.9072 and 0.5879 mm at 24, 48 and 72 hours post challenge respectively. Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction to DNCB at 24 hours post challenge had a highly significant association (p<0.01) with the incidence of body mange in rabbits. The results indicated a lowered contact sensitivity to DNCB at 24 hours post challenge was associated significantly (p<0.01) with an increase in incidence and severity of body mange, suggesting its potential value as a marker. The correlation s among contact sensitivities at 24, 48 and 72 hours were positive and highly significant (p<0.01); correlations between initial skin thickness and contact sensitivities were negative and highly significant (p<0.01). Another notable significant correlation was between body weight and delayed type hypersensitivity at 24 hours indicating that an enhanced CMI might be associated with better growth rate and general wellbeing.

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian public has been rapidly adapting to belated globalization, consistent with the ever-changing market economy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the social background and modern fashion of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet system and consider the characteristics of modern Russian fashion that have emerged in various ways amid the social changes. This study has significance in expanding the breadth of understanding the rapidly growing modern Russian fashion by considering modern Russian fashion and preparing the foundation while filling the need for research on the Russian fashion market, which has great potential. In the scope of the study, we investigated fashion from the post-2000s, when consumption began in earnest after Russia suffered a period of social and economic turmoil and switched to a liberalistic economy in 1991, to the present. In addition, we conducted an analysis focusing on the works of fashion designers who came from Russia and actively participated in work activities in Russia or abroad. Russian fashion designers reflect the unique cultural characteristics of Russia in their designs and incorporate Russian art into their designs to represent new fashion. Through continuous attempts for creative fashion design, modern Russian fashion will be developed in more diverse ways in the future. Thus, a follow-up study using various approaches to Russian fashion is needed.

Street fashion style expressing youth culture has become mainstream in the fashion field. Russian fashion designers who experienced the post-Soviet era in their youth have gained attention for the freshness of a youth inspiration. This study selected two representative young Russian fashion designers, Gosha Rubchinskiy and Tigran Avetisyan and analyzed their fashion works concerning characteristics of youth culture. Literature studies and case studies were conducted as research methods. The subject of the case studies were Gosha Rubchinskiy's fashion works from 2015 S/ S to 2018 F/W and Tigran Avetisyan's fashion works from the 2012 CSM Fashion Show to 2018 F/W. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, their fashion works express 'resistance' against the older generation and society. Second, we can also see the 'conformity' of the use to make a strong cohesion. Third, the fashion works symbolized an 'expression of individuality' of the youth. Fourth, the fashion works express an 'importance of practicality' related to the values of the young who prefer to high cost-effectiveness goods. Last, there is a 'remixed culture' in the Russian designer's works where a previously mixed culture mixes with others in creating a completely new one. This study analyzed the characteristics of a contemporary youth culture that influenced the world fashion market and contributed to understanding that the young generation is active in all aspects of society.

본 논문의 목적은 소련해체 이후 중앙아시아 지역안보환경의 변화 양상과 중앙아시아 지역국가들이 참여하고 있는 다자간 협력기구들의 현황 및 특성을 고찰함으로써 중앙아시아 지역안보체제의 국제정치학적 의미를 규명하고, 중앙아시아 지역안보체제의 구축 전망을 제시하는데 있다. 중앙아시아는 일찍이 '유라시아의 발칸'으로 인식되었듯이 구(舊)체제에서 축적되고 독립 후 새로운 체제로 이행하는 과정에서 발생한 각국 내부의 다양한 갈등 요소들과 상호간 분쟁 요소들, 그리고 강대국들의 전략적 이해관계가 중첩되고 있는 안보불안정 지역이다. 현실의 중앙아시아 지역안보는 미국을 위시한 서방의 이익을 대변하는 나토, OSCE 체제와 러시아를 중심으로 하는 포스트소비에트국가 간의 다자 및 양자협력 체제, 중국, 인도, 터키 등 역외 주요행위자들이 참여하는 다자협력기구들의 활동과 궤를 같이 하고 있다. 그러나 중앙아시아 다자안보협력의 움직임들은 아직까지 어느 것도 범지역적 대표성을 획득하는 단계로까지 발전하지 못하고 있다. 중앙아시아 각국 내부의 문제와 이들 국가 간의 갈등요소를 근본적으로 해결하지 않고서는 이 지역의 안보는 담보될 수 없으며, 편협하고 맹목적인 현실주의는 불안정 지역의 확산을 가져오고 유라시아대륙의 상당부분을 분쟁의 영구적인 근원으로 만들 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 중앙아시아 지역에서 미국, 러시아, 중국, EU 등 주요 행위자들의 전략적 판단과 선택은 재고되어야 할 것이다.

The artworks of Socialist Realism of the former Soviet Union, with the beginning of the 21st century, are gaining a new attention from art collectors. One reason for this might consist in the fact that relevant art pieces exemplify the ways in which they visualize ideas on the basis of their high-profile art tradition and also in which they integrate their utopian ideals with mysticism. These aspects of the Soviet art goes far beyond the wide-spread assumption that their art, as a means of propaganda, principally represents a political allegiance to the system. With Stalin coming into power in the 1930s, the artistic trend of Socialist Realism obtained a nationwide sympathy and support from people, giving birth to a new art which essentially corresponded to the demands of the political power. An official art current of the USSR over the period from the 1930s to 1950s, Socialist Realism was in tandem with the Communist commitment to the party and popularity, symbolizing a loyalty to the cause. It was thus characterized by plainness and lucidity so that ordinary people could gain easy access to art. Its salient feature, over an entire range of art, was an optimistic pursuit of a utopian dream. Therefore, it tallied with the popular sentiment for a Communist paradise, giving form to their beliefs in human agency working at the materialist world and also to such abstract concepts as force, fitness, and beauty by adding even mythical ideals. Its main subject matter includes harvest feasts of collective farms, imaginary socialist cities, grand marches of heroic laborers and in this way it served as a propaganda for a sacred utopia of socialist totalitarianism. On the other end of the spectrum, however, rose the second camp of art, which put an emphasis on bona-fide artistic activities of plastic art and on an artist's personal expression and freedom, as opposed to the surface optimism of Socialist Realism. Central to the Russian Avant Garde art, which prized the above-mentioned values, were Malevich's Geometric Abstraction and A. Rodchenko's Constructivism. Furthermore, in the transitional era of the late 20th century and the 21st century it was recognized that film art or electronic media art, rather than traditional genre of paintings, would function as a more efficient way of propaganda. These new genres were made possible by ridiculing the stereotypes of the Russian lifestyle and also by ignoring ethical or professional dimensions of artworks. That is, they reinvented themselves into a sort of field art, seemingly degrading the quality of artworks and transforming them into artifacts or simulacres in the very sense of post-modernism. The advent of the new era brought about the formation and occupation of pop culture of the younger generations, calling into question the idea of art as the class-determined. It also increased the attention to field art, which extensively found way to modern art centers, galleries, and exhibition projects. It can be stated that this was a natural outcome of human nature.

본 논문은 지하경제의 문제점을 통해, 동유럽 보통 사람들의 삶이 체제 이행 과정에서 어떻게 변화했는지 고찰하고 있다. 1989년 이후 동유럽 사회는 급격한 자본주의 체제로의 이행을 겪었다. 충격요법의 실행은 대량실업의 발생, 복지 혜택의 축소 등 동유럽 보통 사람들의 삶의 질을 급격히 악화시키는 결과를 초래하였다. 이제 많은 사람들이 살아남기 위해 공식 경제 영역이 아닌 지하경제 활동에 뛰어들게 되었다. 현실사회주의 시절 계획 경제의 경직성을 완화시켜 주던 지하경제는, '유연한' 자본주의 체제로의 전환했다지만 여전히 생계수단이 되고 있는 것이다. 체제는 바뀌었다지만 생계수단은 바꾸지 않은 셈인 것이다.
