| Summary/Abstract |
THE MONTH OF MAY and its fireworks are now behind us. The country and the world celebrated Victory Day, which is a holiday of war veterans, home front workers, and all the people of Russia and other victorious nations. There was a grand parade on Red Square and a wreath-laying ceremony at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The march of the Immortal Regiment - a civil initiative that has acquired a truly global dimension - took place again not only in Russia, but in many other countries as well, with the participation of hundreds of thousands of Russians, our compatriots abroad and citizens of other countries - all people who cherish the memory of Victory and the memory of those who worked to bring it closer.

| Summary/Abstract |
Despite 25 years of unprecedentedly friendly ties between South Korea and
China, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) disputes and China’s
ensuing sanctions against South Korea have forced the bilateral relationship
into an unprecedented standoff. Given South Korea’s growing dependence on
China in economic and North Korean affairs, commentators always assumed
that the South Korean government would “manage” this relationship. China has
maintained a close relationship to keep South Korea within its orbit, restraining
Seoul from further efforts to strengthen the U.S.–South Korean alliance. However,
the Park Geun-hye government’s decision to respond to North Korea’s incessant
provocations by deploying the THAAD system in South Korea caused China to
implement economic retaliation. The ensuing paralysis of bilateral relations has
lasted for over a year. A key problem for the future of the bilateral relationship is
the fact that both countries have lost trust in each other. China views South Korea’s
decision to deploy THAAD as a betrayal of its support, while South Korea objects
to China’s relentless economic bullying. Consequently, post–THAAD South Korea–
China relations are likely to reflect South Korea’s efforts to reduce its dependency
on China and to manage its development in a more balanced way.

| Summary/Abstract |
IN THE 2010s, Russia attempted to revitalize the collective memory of the Great Patriotic War to fill the ideological vacuum created in the former Soviet Union by the latter's breakup in 1991. With support from Russia's presidential administration, events were held in various Russian cities from 2010 to around 2020 to mark the victory in the war. Those events brought together veterans and public figures from various Russian regions and other former Soviet republics.
