Summary/Abstract |
This article attempts to touch upon the relations between Afghanistan and Tajikistan, two neighboring countries, from the historical perspective and the current period. The article analyses the history of Afghanistan-Tajikistan relations during and after the Soviet era, especially during the Afghan Mujahideen's struggle against the Soviet occupational army and Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the Tajikistan civil war of 1992-1997, and after September 11, 2001. In addition, the issues of the ethnic Tajiks in Afghanistan, the violent and vulnerable Tajik-Afghan border, the withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan in 2014 and its impact on Afghanistan-Tajikistan relations, and the new phase of economic relations and an effective cooperation between the both countries are discussed. The article tries to fill the gaps within the body of existing literature and understanding concerning the topic.

Summary/Abstract |
This article begins a three-part study into tactical level combat during the battle for Smolensk. The study traces the evolution and experiences of a Red Army rifle regiment from its formation through combat in the summer of 1941. Its objective is to infuse primary source documents dealing with combat at the regimental level and below to complement sections of Colonel David M. Glantz's extensive four-volume work on the battle of Smolensk, whose narrative volumes were published in 2009 and 2010. By focusing on a single rifle regiment and combat at the tactical level, we hope to provide an authentic and detailed view of life and combat in the Soviet (Red) Army during the earliest stage of the Soviet-German War.

Summary/Abstract |
SO FAR HISTORIANS AND POLITICAL SCIENTISTS have failed to arrive at a more or less concerted opinion about World War II, which marked a turning point in the history of the 20th century. In recent years, the discussion has spilled beyond academic frameworks. It means that new eloquent facts and documents are no longer enough to uphold one's opinion: the entire ideological concept the Western experts apply when dealing with the events and evidence of the 1930s-1940s should be refuted.

Summary/Abstract |
Starting with the election of Germany's first postwar government in 1949, the Western Allies, most notably the United States and Great Britain, came to the conclusion that in order to strengthen the defenses of Western Europe against a possible Soviet invasion, a viable German Army, free of the militarism and influence from its World War II predecessor, would be necessary for the defense of not only Germany but of Western Europe itself. After surmounting serious French objections to the creation of standing German Army on its border, the government of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer set about to create a West German Army or "Bundeswehr" based on democratic principles and practices. This article, the first of four on the post-World War II German Armed Forces, is a history of the problems, organization, and fielding of what became the "tip" of NATO's sharp spear guarding against the Soviet Army from overrunning Western Europe - the West German Bundeswehr.
