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."

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.

Abstract
This paper will trace aspects of the centralizing process with reference to social and economic systems in an attempt to illustrate the difficulty, if not impossibility, of sustaining the Soviet regime as it was. As such, it was only a matter of time before the U.S.S.R imploded, unable to maintain either the requisite coercion or economic controls to keep modernizing, nationalist, or secessionist forces under control. Special emphasis will be placed on events pertaining to the latter half of the twentieth century where the powerful center began to lose its grip on the union piecemeal. The focus of this paper will highly aspects of two central problems in the Soviet Union: first, the regional economic disparities; and second, the ethnic and nationalistic upheavals that brought the Soviet Union, already teetering precariously on the brink of collapse, to its final collapse.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the ways tat the City of Prague, in its history, has been a source of uniting the different cultural portions of Europe over a vast period of time. The Czech, German, and Jewish people are heavily acclimated to the separatism that Prague represents in the European view. This will be argued for in this study to reveal the nature of disharmony that exists between these people and the way that they relate to each other. By the blending of these three cultures, we can see the open policy toward different cultural groups that represent the population of this European city.
