Abstract
This paper looks at the macro economy of the Ukraine and how tobacco sales are influential. It discusses the trends of the society and how this effects import / export policies, governmental control, and tariffs. It discusses the Alcohol and Drug Information Center (ADIC)'s role in fighting early tobacco use in children.
From the Paper
"In 1993, the idea of ADIC appeared in the Ukraine because of the WHO (World Health Organization) conference held in Kiev. At this conference it was stated that," Alcohol and other drugs problems were rapidly changing the Socio-Economic environments in the Ukraine." The idea of ADIC (Alcohol and drug Information Center) became a reality in the Ukraine after Konstantin Krasovsky worked in the ADIC Unit of the WHO Regional Office in Europe in 1994. The ADIC Unit of Ukraine was founded in 1995, this is a non-governmental, non-profit, and professional organization has an independent status in relation to other organizations in the Ukraine. The primary interest of the ADIC Unit in the Ukraine was alcohol and other illegal drugs, but soon tobacco became one of its top priorities."

Abstract
This paper briefly examines the history of the Chechnyan conflict. It discusses mainly how this war has impacted the Chechen people and why Chechnya represents an instance of war uniting cultures, as opposed to destroying them.
From the Paper
"In order to understand a nation, it is necessary to examine culture through their values, beliefs and attitudes. The strength of the Chechens in their fight for independence stems from their national culture. Much of the Chechen way of life lies in their valued belief in ancient myth and philosophy with strong connections to the biblical mythology and ancient Europe. In legend, the Caucasus was known as the home of the Gods, the chimerical ethnic origin of European civilization (thus, the term "Caucasian"). Traditionally, Chechens attach great importance to "honor and dignity. . . [and the] cult of ancestors and progeny. Ancestry plays a vital role in their social values. Chechens see history as "the only road where a man or nation passes the lifetime. The road itself tells nothing of the past, only the people do." This helps to explain why the deportation of 450,000 Chechens to Soviet Central Asia in 1944 under Joseph Stalin is such a defining incident toward Chechen intransigence. The Chechen people are immersed in a culture based on the richness of their past, emphasizing the strength of their national character and motivating their struggle for independence."

Abstract
This paper begins by providing an introduction and overview of the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis. It then examines the Dayton Peace Accords and discusses what the role of the Accords was meant to be, the aims and purposes, and, finally, why the Accords failed.
From the Paper
"The conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina stems from the hostility between peoples united by territory, heritage, and language, yet divided by religion. The proponents of the war are the Orthodox, Catholics and Muslims who share the territory of Yugoslavia. After World War I, the United States, Britain, and France established new territorial boundaries of the remnants of the war during the Versailles Conference of 1919. The conference resulted in the combining of the former members of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, with Montenegro and Serbia. This formed of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, or "land of the South Slavs." "

Abstract
Russia is a nation that has been through much social, political, and economic turmoil. This paper looks at how, after the fall of communism and the failure of democracy in the nation, there have been various nationalist and fascist regiments being established. It shows that, although there have been fascist groups in Russia for over a century, they have become a significant minority in Russia's political culture. The subcultures are varied, ranging from the more reactionary ideology of Yevgeny Bikov and Pamyat to the revolutionary platform of Alexander Barkashev and the RNE.
From the Paper
"Russia is a nation that has had a history of imbalance. For the first thousand years of it's existence, it had operated under the plutocratic czarist system, which had a major disparity between the noble class and the serfs. Then, in the early 20th century, there was a political upheaval, in which Russia was absorbed into the Soviet Union, a dictatorship where advancement in society was based on party loyalty rather than relations. If one was a faithful member of the Communist Party, then they could get power, regardless of ancestry. This system was done with good intentions, but it ended up failing after 70 years."

The Yeltsin Regime
The Current State of Affairs
Struggles of the "New" Russia
Russia and the U.S.: Future Policy Directions and Implications
From the Paper
"Both the United States and the Soviet Union must share the responsibility for the start and continuation of the Cold War in the period between 1945 and 1963. During World War II, the U.S. and the Soviets were allies committed to the defeat of mutual enemies - Japan and Germany. At the end of World War II, as the Allies struggled to reconfigure the European polity and establish a new order in the East, the interests of the Soviet Union and the United States came into direct collision. For western leaders and their diplomats, World War II had a successful but hardly "neat" ending; too many questions were left unanswered, such as the future of Poland and Germany, which had been opened at Yalta and Potsdam but left unresolved (Kennedy, 1987; Keohane, 1984)."

Abstract
This study will look at the advancements made by the transitional economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the difficulties that they still face. In the end, it is clear that the transition from communism to capitalism has enjoyed several successes. Using the yardstick of appearances, evidence of this can be seen in the huge steps made by many of the countries, some of which now resemble those of Western Europe. Beneath this facade, however, it is most certain that the re-learning process involved with transition still has significant obstacles ahead of it. This is so for all CEE countries; some more than others. A generation may pass until the battle with the past is really over.

Abstract
German reunification was one of the greatest events of the 20th century. But while the entire German population basked in the bliss of initial euphoria, the rest of the world viewed this event with great deal of skepticism. This skepticism originated from transition gurus' ability to see beyond the excitement and at the real reasons why East Germany had opted for unification after several decades of socialist rule. East Germany was riddled with numerous social and economic problems and thus had unification as the only viable choice left at its disposal. The paper studies the reasons behind East Germany's desire to be reunited with its western brother.
