Vladimir AVATKOV, Kochkin Mikhail
Parliamentary elections in Turkey in 2015 reflected a significant change in the trend of domestic policy, established back in the middle of the XX century, during the formation of multiparty system.

Fold the perception existing today in the practice of social and political space, a variety of international public (or "country") of images it is possible to qualify as indifferent or neutral. Such an attitude is confirmed by audience research Simon Anholt, the founder of the publication Anholt-GfK Roper Nation Brands Index ™ ("National Brands Index"). According to surveys conducted by the publication in 2005, "people's perceptions of other countries [over time] does not change very much or very fast: the majority of us seem to have a rather frozen opinion on other nations, and we prefer not to change it" . That is, once established in the minds of the audience, the international image of the country is extremely difficult amenable to change and if susceptible, then the minimum.
The notion that the maximum impact on the image can be rendered only at the stage of its formation, effectively means you can not get rid of the "shortcut." This may entail the most serious consequences. Practice shows that the last few decades, the formation of a negative image of the country could lead to the most disastrous results up to the invasion of the enemy and territorial losses (as in the case of Yugoslavia, creating a negative image of the state and its leader was the rationale for the operation of NATO forces in the country and, ultimately led to the loss of Kosovo).

Perspectives of Russian-Japanese Relations DevelopmentIn the last years in its relations with Russia Tokio tried to decide the problem of “Northern Territories”; this decision was promoted as a condition of Peace Treaty conclusion. Japan reached no results, but the government of S. Abe could really improve the atmosphere of mutual relations. The Ukrainian crisis of 2014 and Japanese politics of sanctions against Russia made a new cooling of relations between Moscow and Tokio; it can be explained by the fact of direct dependence of Japanese foreign policy from the position of USA. So, the author thinks, that in this situation Russia doesn’t need to conclude a Peace Treaty with Japan. It is enough to conclude a Treaty of Good-Neighborlines and Cooperation, similar with these, which were concluded by Japan with China and Republic of Korea.Japan, Kuriles island, Russia, foreign policy, |

Olympic Games of our childhoodThe most fascinating pages in the history of the Soviet sports definitely include the confrontation between the USSR and the US Olympic teams. This confrontation began at the Olympic Games in Helsinki (1952), which the Soviet team attended for the first time, and ended in 1988 in Seoul, when the red Soviet flag raised and the Soviet anthem sounded in honor of the winners for the last time. The rivalry between the two superpowers’ teams, which lasted three and a half decades, is really worthy of the pen of the historian."Red Sports" stands out from the rather sad current picture. The Sochi Olympic Games has become a bottomless pit where several billions from the national budget have faded. Commercial excitement around the Games generates uncontrollably. Billions of dollars appear and disappear at the whim of bored tycoons - that's the whole strategy. Sometimes it seems that the days of the noble Soviet sports are gone for good.
