Summary/Abstract |
The origins of West German terrorism are closely linked to post-war Germany's problems of dealing with the National Socialist past. The terrorist groups defined themselves as "antifascist" and accused the Federal Republic of Germany, the USA, and Israel of continuing "imperialist" Nazi policy, which was supposed to justify their "armed struggle." On the other hand, the terrorists themselves have been described as "Hitler's children" in the sense that they had adopted key aspects of National Socialist ideology, including anti-Semitism. The article reviews the evidence for such an assessment in the context of Germany's debates about the legacy of National Socialism.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the protest movement of the younger generation of Israeli songwriters and performers that emerged in response to the vicissitudes of the Arab-Israeli conflict over the past decades, notably the 1982 Lebanon war, the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada (December 1987), and Israel's unilateral disengagement from Gaza (2005). It argues that while this movement succeeded in inserting itself into the cultural and public arenas and shaking some of the unwavering beliefs and convictions held by the 'founding generation', its overall impact has remained limited.

Summary/Abstract |
ARMENIA experienced events in April and May 2018 that have been dubbed a "velvet revolution" and resulted in the radical replacement of political elites. The government of President Serzh Sargsyan was forced to resign, and the leader of the protest movement, opposition parliamentary deputy Nikol Pashinyan, was elected prime minister. This has given rise to serious worries about the future of Russian-Armenian relations despite numerous assurances by Armenia's new leadership that there were no geopolitics behind the change of government.

Summary/Abstract |
The elites tended to overestimate the potential and prospects of the protests; the opposition leaders underestimated the possible effects of their actions. This was the background against which political developments unfolded in 2012. And there is no reason to expect that anything will change fundamentally in the upcoming months.
