THE YOUNG BREATH OF THE OLD CITY: THE CHIEF ARCHITECT OF KHARKIV OLEKSANDR MYKHAYLOVYCH KASYANOV
В статті досліджено життєвий шлях та науковий доробок відомого українського архітектора, директора Науково-дослідного інституту містобудування УРСР Олександра Михайловича Касьянова (1906–1961). Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на принципах історизму, об`єктивності, цілісності та системності; застосовуються методи: ретроспективний, проблемно-хронологічний, просопографічний. Новизна дослідження полягає в дослідженні життєвого шляху та діяльності О. Касьянова, які до цього часу не стали предметом докладного наукового висвітлення. Відзначаються заслуги цього митця перед українською архітектурою: він був автором першого науково обґрунтованого генерального плану розвитку Харкова, під його керівництвом були виконані проєкти планування Луганська, Вітебська, Могильова, Чернігова, Кам’янця-Подільського, Луцька та багатьох інших міст. Також зазначено, що при плануванні міст О. Касьянов спирався на ретельно вивчену історію обновлюваних об’єктів, про що, зокрема, свідчить теоретична спадщина архітектора. Висновки. Переосмислення спадку радянської епохи призвело до знецінення реальних здобутків українських зодчих, імена і творчий доробок яких з часом почав замовчуватися чи ігноруватися дослідниками. Всебічно обдарований, справжній професіонал своєї справи, архітектор О. Касьянов, попри вагомість свого внеску до теорії архітектури та містобудування України, не уникнув цієї долі. Детальне вивчення його життя і творчого спадку дозволяє зробити висновок про високий професіоналізм, відповідальність за якісне проведення взятої на себе роботи і за свою справу перед нащадками. О. Касьянов назавжди ввійшов в історію України як основоположник першого науково обґрунтованого генерального плану розвитку Харкова, що був покладений в основу подальших аналогічних розробок, а його ім’я може слугувати добрим прикладом любові до рідного краю. The purpose of the study is to analyze the life and scientifi c achievements of the famous Ukrainian architect, director of the Research Institute of Urban Planning of the Ukrainian SSR Oleksandr Mykhaylovych Kasyanov (1906–1961) based on a wide range of sources. The research methodology is built on the principles of historicism, objectivity, integrity, and systematics; the following methods are used: retrospective, problem-chronological, prosopographic. The novelty of the research lies in the study of the life and work of O.M. Kasyanov, which has not yet been the subject of detailed scientifi c coverage. The merits of this artist to Ukrainian architecture are noted: he was the author of the fi rst scientifi cally sound master plan of Kharkiv; under his leadership, the planning projects of Luhansk, Vitebsk, Mogilev, Chernihiv, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Lutsk, and many other cities were carried out. It is also stated that in urban planning, O. M. Kasyanov relied on a carefully studied history of the renovated objects, as evidenced, in particular, by the theoretical heritage of the architect. Conclusions. The rethinking of the legacy of the Soviet era has led to the devaluation of the real achievements of the Ukrainian architects, whose names and creative accomplishments over time began to be silenced or ignored by researchers. The comprehensively gift ed, the true professional in his fi eld, the architect O.M. Kasyanov, despite the importance of his contribution to the theory of architecture and urban planning of Ukraine, did not escape this fate. A detailed study of his life and creative legacy allows us to conclude about the high professionalism, responsibility for the quality of the work undertaken and for his job done in front of his descendants. O. M. Kasyanov forever entered the history of Ukraine as the founder of the fi rst scientifi cally sound master plan for the development of Kharkiv, which was the basis for further similar developments, and his name can serve as a good example of love for his native land
Cooperation of Russia and the EU in the Area of Exploration and Use of Outer Space
The jubilee year (the 20th anniversary of the Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation between the EU and Russia - the PCA) of the relations between the Russian Federation and the European Union has turned out to be the most complicated. In 2014 the Ukrainian situation has strongly affected the long-lasting relations between Russia and the EU, and now enormous efforts shall be made in order to regain the level of trust and mutual understanding reached in the past years. Shortly before the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis the year 2014 had been offi cially announced as the EU-Russia Year of Science, Technology and Innovation. A huge scientifi c potential of relation between the Russian Federation, the EU and its Member States can be well exemplifi ed by cooperation of the partners in the area of exploration and use of outer space. A comprehensive legal and institutional base of the cooperation provides for successful performance of complex projects. Further development of contacts in this fi eld would make a positive effect on the general scope of cooperation
Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the powers of the European Securities and Markets Authority
Elaboration of Regulation in Consequence of the LIBOR Manipulations
Not long ago periodicals specializing in the field of law and finance revealed some details of fraudulent actions connected with the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In a certain moment it seemed that the scandal with LIBOR manipulations would not lead to any serious reforms, including those of the legal nature, and the outcome would be limited to separate sanctions against several large European and American banks. However, the European Union in full conformity with the purposes of its financial services policy has drafted new regulatory acts which will come into force in the near future and will allow combating more efficiently with various kinds of market abuse
Main Initiatives of the European Union in Combating Market Abuse
In the European Union combating insider violations and market manipulation is one of the key tasks in the domain of legal regulation of the finance market. The EU takes a systems approach to the solution of this problem, as the development of the legal regulation in this field goes the way of enhancing a respective complex of legal norms. In 7 989 the first stage of the development of the EU legal base in the area of combating insider violations was undertaken. In the mentioned year a Council Directive 89/592/EEC on insider dealing was adopted which created the basis for the legal regulation in this field. The document, despite its progressive nature for that time, soon became outdated and no longer could meet the demands of modern finance markets. In 2003 the European Union decided to enhance its legal base and adopted a new Directive 2003/6/ EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on insider dealing and market manipulation (market abuse). This secondary law act, which is still in force, has a much wider scope because its key notion "market abuse" comprises two forms of unlawful actions: insider dealing and market manipulation. In 20 7 7 drafts of new regulatory acts were elaborated - a regulation on insider dealing and market manipulation (market abuse) and a directive on criminal sanctions for insider dealing and market abuse. Should these acts be adopted, the third stage of development of the legal base in this area will begin. This article is aimed at analysing specific features of the second-stage development of the EU legal base and attempting to characterise the main directions of the upcoming reform
Instruments of International Financial Market for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
When in August 2015 the Chinese stock indexes were significantly downgraded, it became clear that China was unable to pull the world economy out of crisis which we have been witnessing during the last years. The low economic growth, h eavy credit burden on enterprises and governments, high unemployment level - these are the problems which almost all governments try to tackle. Taking into account a high volatility in financial and commodities markets, the whole situation leaves much to be desired. In such cases is it difficult to find any effective means to solve the above problems, however it is possible, and one of such solutions is support of small and medium-sized enterprises. Thus, the European Union has decided to make the European financial markets more accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises providing the latter with additional financing opportunities. Solution to this challenge does not require allocation of significant sums (unlike granting loans to key banks ofthe euro zone or subsidizing companies). The idea is only to establish favourable conditions for European entrepreneurs in the European financial markets
The Evolution of Architectural Morphogenesis at the Beginning of XXI Century in the Context of Scientific Advances
AbstractInnovative spatial forms arise and develop at an intersection of science and art, engineering and architecture. Various geometric structures with different types of symmetry are studied by mathematicians, engineers and architects. Computer simulation reveals a new range of geometric shapes as well as various types of partitioning and filling of two-dimensional surface and three-dimensional space. For the engineering and architectural theory it is important to study fundamental mechanisms of form shaping and the form itself in the context of conceptual evidence of modern interdisciplinary studies. This is necessary for the further development of the creative potential of architecture and engineering
Comparisons of business conditions in the Czech Republic and Russia.
This thesis is dedicated to a very interesting topic, which was dedicated to comparisons of business conditions in the Czech Republic and Russia. This theme is very interesting, because Czech companies are beginning to turn their attention to the markets of Eastern Europe. The Russian market is very promising: a relatively large population, rising living standards, the impact on other countries of the region, etc. Doing business in Russia and in the Czech Republic is significantly different - both in legal as well as in financial and advertising sectors. Comparison of business conditions was carried out in several ways. The first way was to undertake a basic analysis of the legal standards associated with the business. The main goal of this work is the detailed analysis and comparison of the business environment in Russia and in the Czech Republic. The central hypothesis is -- doing Business in the Russian Federation is far more complex in terms of administrative complexity, but offers far more options than in the Czech Republic. The author in his thesis worked with Russian, Czech and with resources
Securing Human Rights on the Post-Soviet Space
Abstract: A lot of profound political, economic, social, cultural and legislative modifications have happened on the post-Soviet space since the disintegration of the USSR. The term “post-Soviet space” should not be considered as the geographical boundaries of the fifteen former Soviet republics. The conception of the “post-Soviet space” has a more profound meaning as it reflects the common historical and cultural heritage as well as close economic relations, moreover, friendship between the citizens of the new independent States. The most developed sphere in the interstate relations nowadays is economics. The most prime example is Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), the youngest integration institution in the world which unites five countries willing to construe their relationship on a stronger basis than the proposed format of cooperation within the Commonwealth of the Independent States. In the modern world the economic and financial interests are determining, their ensuring makes the governments change foreign and domestic policies, start and terminate trade wars, desperately fight for the respect of their legal rights or, on the contrary, voluntarily give up on some parts of their sovereignty in the framework of integration development. The experience of the European Union demonstrates that the construction of the unified internal market within which freely move persons, goods, services and capitals is a necessary but not the only attribute of a successful integration project. At a certain moment the complex of economic and financial interests should be supplied with the interests of a concrete person. A strict observation of rights and freedoms is becoming a factor that predetermines a possibility of a conversion to the higher forms of integration. In this article is analyzed the problem of human rights defense in the main organizations functioning on the post-Soviet space - Eurasian Economic Union and Commonwealth of the Independent States
