Boris Yeltsin -- A Combination of Mother Russia and Modern
Russia
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses Russia’s first elected
president, Boris Yeltsin. Was he a an old-style Russian oligarch
determined to take his rightful place in the leadership of his
country? Or can he be better-defined as a leader firmly in touch
with the needs and desires of the “real” Russians -- the people
once described as the “proletariat.” He has been alternately
adored and vilified, praised and blamed for the “new” Russia.
But it should not be forgotten he certainly deserves credit for
truly monumental achievements. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Budgetary Challenges and the European Union of the Future
[ send me this paper ]
This
16 page report discusses a scenario in which the current members
of the EU agree that Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and
Slovenia should be allowed to join the community by 2010.
However, in this fictional scenario, their accession was only
agreed after discussions over the economics of the “community”
were addressed. The European nations which were the most
decidedly “mainstream” in terms of their European identity --
Germany, France, Italy, et al -- found themselves facing
questions regarding how legitimately European one should consider
nations such as Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and
Slovenia. Benefits, challenges, and potential problems are
addressed. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Business Effect of Russia's Lack of Infrastructure
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining the lack of information management infrastructure as a factor contributing to the vastly uneven growth of the economy before its financial collapse in 1998. Many individual businesses were well equipped with the technological standards of business today, but they were concentrated in only a few major industries. All other segments of the economy did not fully share that good fortune—not only was infrastructure lacking in many areas but where it did exist there often were no qualified technical personnel to manage them. Observers believe that Russia will fare much better when the economy grows again. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Catherine the Great of Russia
[ send me this paper ]
(6pp) It has been argued that Catherine was an
educated ruler, not necessarily an enlightened one.
The argument being that the Enlightenment was a
time when people were discussing abstract ideas,
and attempting to reach consensus in the process.
However in Europe this was mainly discussion
between intellectuals, and since at the time of
Catherine's reign only two percent of her subjects
were literate, it would lead to a narrow ray of
enlightenment on the formal sense. With the data
out of the way, I believe that Catherine made every
effort, and did make, or cause change, considering
the social environment that was her arena.

Decline Of Imperial Russia
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper on the decline of Imperial Russia. The discussion involves the argument of whether the decline was doomed or merely unlucky, based on pages 528-611 of the book Major Problems in the History of Imperial Russia by James Cracraft. The side that is taken is that of stating Imperial Russia was destined to fail in light of the fact that they refused to make necessary adjustments to the changes that were rapidly occurring throughout their continent, as well as the rest of the world. They ignorantly believed that they could uphold their tradition and follow their individual form of modernization without integrating themselves with anyone else. No additional sources cited.
