| Summary/Abstract |
AFTER the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) took power for a second time in 2007 and its leader, Daniel Ortega, again became president of Nicaragua, Russia's relations with that country have become closer and, moreover, acquired a new quality, developing into full-scale strategic partnership. Today, Nicaragua is Russia's main partner and ally in Central America. Russian presence in Nicaragua takes a diversity of forms - political contacts, economic relations, including trade and investment, cultural, scientific and technological cooperation. There are numerous reasons for this, primarily the two nations' desire to build equal, mutually respectful, and mutually beneficial cooperation in bilateral and multilateral formats, their deep involvement in regional political and economic processes, and their active roles in the world arena, where they hold identical or similar views on practically all key issues.

| Summary/Abstract |
Scientific, institutional and personal rivalries between three key centres of geographical research and scholarship (the Academy of Sciences Institute of Geography and the Faculties of Geography at Moscow and Leningrad State Universities) are surveyed for the period from 1945 to the early 1950s. It is argued that the debates and rivalries between members of the three institutions appear to have been motivated by a variety of scientific, ideological, institutional and personal factors, but that genuine scientific disagreements were at least as important as political and ideological factors in influencing the course of the debates and in determining their final outcome.
