Водная проблема Центральной Азии: роли России, Китая и Ирана
Азия и Африка сегодня. 2014. № 3. С. -56–-62.
Since fall 2012 forming of water-energy balance in Central got a real development Asia for the first time in post-soviet history. For last 20 years, a wide range of measures was implemented but only nowadays the dialogue overcame a intra five-republics level. The paper investigated an evolution of status quoin Central Asia affected by various events and tendencies, fruitfully flourished there in 2012. Policies of external regional hegemons, Russia and China are in the focus of the paper, also some attention is dedicated to Iranian initiatives. Besides that, a comparative analysis of Russian and Chinese economic influence is provided as well as theirs policies towards upstream and downstream republics. Ways to manage water problem in Central Asia are different for Russia and China, and these differences are also investigated in this paper. As a result, we managed to prove that both countries` influence has a complementary character due to division between economic and security guaranties demanded by Central Asian republics. Iranian influence is concentrated mostly in Tajikistan and less, Turkmenistan, but still it widens regional agenda a lot.

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing driven by artisanal small-scale fisheries is a critical threat to global biodiversity and is exemplified by the commercial extinction of Caspian sturgeons (Acipenser and Huso). A key knowledge gap persists regarding the scale and behavioral dynamics of these operations.We tested the hypothesis that persistent high-volume sturgeon poaching is sustained ...

The changing political mood of Russians is a constant subject of interest for sociological agencies. With the development of the Internet, conventional questionnaire research began to be supplemented by online surveys and, despite some skepticism, by social media mining. This article attempts to adjust an accidental web-sample so as to bring its estimates closer to ...

In the field of civil war studies, there is a consensus that the risk of war decreases as income increases. Nevertheless, such consensus has not been reached in the field of civil resistance and unarmed revolutions. This paper proposes a curvilinear framework positing two opposite trends in economic development. On the one hand, it increases ...

A growing number of scholars are warning about the dangers of the reproduction by generative AI of socio-political and ideological biases absorbed by models from the texts on which they were trained. If a given model was trained on Western media texts, it may generate narratives that reproduce West centric views of world events. This ...

Recent theoretical developments in ecological approaches to culture challenge the prevailing East–West framing of cultural variation by emphasizing a north–south axis linked to local habitat stability and climatic demands. Building on Van de Vliert et al.’s (2025) ecological analysis, we replicate their preliminary tests across 83 Russian regions and add focused analyses to clarify the ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

1989 in the East revisits the processes that led to the collapse of communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the USSR. This disintegration appeared to be the result of complex mobilisations where the repertoires of action, the institutional and non-institutional ties, the ideological preferences, and the identities of the actors, including the ...

Contemporary IR theory lacks a unified and complete taxonomy of interstate military-political relationships. The conceptual diversity of overlapping, often interchangeable terms (alliance, alignment, coalition, entente, strategic partnership) generates false dichotomies and a gap between fundamental alliance theories and applied studies of defense cooperation practices. This article proposes a three-dimensional classification of military alignments. Each state ...

We propose an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates insights from political science, public administration, organizational theory, economics, psychology, sociology, and cognitive science to better understand the role of emotions in governance in the digital age. We argue that citizens' sentiments and emotional responses are central to their relationships with government institutions and bureaucracies. Building on bounded ...

The first decade after the end of the revolutionary events in Gilan (1920-21) was a period of active attempts by the Bolsheviks, the Communist International and the Communist Party of Iran to gain a solid social foothold in Iran. Thispaper, based mainly on Russian archival sources, focuses on studying the dynamics of the guidelines of the CommunistInternational and the Communist Party of Iran, the attempts and features of their implementation, as well as on therelationship of the Iranian Communists with the Bolsheviks and the leadership of the Communist International. The studydemonstrates that the main efforts of the Reds in 1922-25 were aimed at building an inter-class coalition, wherecooperation with Reza Khan became only part of these broader efforts. The failures led the Reds to a previously testedcourse of fomenting the agrarian revolution in Iran and repeated fiascos. Throughout this period, the leadership of the Communist Party of Iran was not a simple executor of directives, but took an active part in the decision-making process,involved the Bolsheviks in its internal party struggle and challenged high-ranking functionaries of the Communist International. ...

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

Community detection in complex networks is a fundamental problem, open to new approaches in various scientific settings. We introduce a novel community detection method, based on Ricci flow on graphs. Our technique iteratively updates edge weights (their metric lengths) according to their (combinatorial) Foster version of Ricci curvature computed from effective resistance distance between the ...
