This research aimed to delineate the nation-building project in education and the response of the Russians and Russophone Ukrainians in post-Soviet Ukraine. The study deals with two central questions : (1) What kind of nation-building policies did
the national authorities introduce in the field of education in the post-Glasnost era and (2) How do the local Russians and Russophone Ukrainians react to the current nation-building policies in education (i.e. in terms of school choice, language use
The soviet settlement system, current issues and future prospects
L'analyse de l'urbanisation actuelle et de ses tendances en URSS permet d'analyser les problèmes de son système urbain et d'apprécier les récents efforts faits pour planifier et gérer le développement du système national de peuplement. Le Schéma
Général de Peuplement, lancé en 1975 et revu en 1982 pour guider le développement de ce système, est examiné ici en tant que débat entre deux écoles de pensée opposées, et meilleure approche pour restructurer le système urbain.

hostile environment and of transport in a virtually unlimited space are also considered at length together with the broader geopolitical questions of the Soviet Union's present and future relations with the rest of the world. This publication is made
particularly timely by the increasing reluctance of the Soviet authorities to divulge information on their country's achievements and shortcomings.
In the 1970s, a new category of preserved natural area was created, the biosphere reserve. It differs significantly from either the national park concept or the wildlife refuge concept. Here is a brief introduction to this new type of preserve
, and to the manner in which it is being implemented in the Soviet Union.

Georgia, a newly independent state in the Transcaucasus, bears most of the common features of the Post-Soviet political space. But it has distinct peculiarities in state-building due to its location and historical legacy. The national self-identity

Soviet geography follows various principles and choices completely unlike from those of West European and North American national schools. Until the sixties, this school walked within severe patterns ruled by stalinist dogma. A chief change occurred
with Anuchin Controversy's main stream. This debate was the most important scientific problem faced by communism since Lyssenko's genetic controversy during the thirties and the forties. Currently, Soviet geography is involved more and more with geographic

The nonreplacement of senior scholars in the Soviet-East European specialty in geography

The impending retirement of a number of senior North American scholars in the Soviet/East European specialty group in geography has not been matched by an equivalent entry of younger scholars into this group. More significantly, the younger scholars
, even if they have been trained, are not being appointed to positions being vacated by the retirement of senior specialists. The situation threatens to endanger an important field of specialization in Soviet/East European studies and in geography

Detailed analysis of the complex economic-policy decisions on energy facing the Soviet Union and its allies. To reduce the energy intensities of the bloc economies, Moscow must improve energy-use efficiencies or produce a change away from fuels

La nation et l'Etat estoniens ont une signification particulière pour ceux qui y vivent. Les AA., en utilisant un discours géopolitique, essaient de représenter cette image complexe. Les frontières estoniennes ainsi que leur signification restent
fragiles et contestées. Le modèle occidental de l'Etat-nation semble être largement adopté par les Estoniens depuis l'indépendance.
