Notable is that many wars and conflicts in the region of Anatolia and North Syria took place in this period, which may have occasioned an increasing need to justify them by appeal to divinities.Peer reviewe

Moreover, the tools of information and influence operations of Russian Federation include all kinds of intimidation and manipulation techniques from cyber-attacks to political extortion among others. The research focuses on studying political influence Russia expectedly pursues through strategic narratives that find their way to reaching target audience. The research is primarily based on media analysis of Estonian media outlets in Estonian and Russian language and on structured interviews with various political figures and experts, opinion leaders, and representatives of Russophone community in Estonia.Probably the most f...

The spread of numerous ethnic, religious and cultural conflicts in this region has promoted the emergence of various radical movements there. The goal of this study is to determine the conditions under which it might be possible to achieve a breakthrough in the development of regional peace for these multicultural religions. This paper examines the impact of historical, religious and political processes on intercultural communication in the region and focuses on processes which have led to the development of the current situation in the Middle East with its escalation of extremism.

As far as Syria is concerned, by the end of 2019, Assad’s regime had effectively been saved by Russia’s political and military support in the form of its direct intervention in the Syrian Civil War. Russia’s decisive action in this situation enhanced its status throughout the Middle East region. This article aims to ascertain to what extent has Russia’s conduct merely taken advantage of the vacuum left by the U.S. and the West, and to what extent can it be considered a premeditated and carefully considered plan that fits within Russia’s wider strategic objectives. First, the authors will take a closer look at the strategic assumptions that have enabled Russia to enhance its status in the region, focusing in particular on those...

Russia uses ideological, historical, political symbols and narratives for justifying and supporting their military, economic and political campaigns not only in Donbass but in the whole of Ukraine. The article concentrates on the various means of meaning-making carried out by Russian information operations regarding the Ukrainian state and military structures.

Using modern IT technologies in its hybrid activities, Russia, much like China or other authoritarian powers, is trying to challenge the current world order. These instruments are particularly evident in the Baltic States. This article uses Estonia as a case study to inquire into the political goals and strategic conduct of Russia. Specifically, the focus is on the political context, instruments of information war, and available countermeasures. As argued in the current study, the shift from European to Eurasian power, Russia’s careful management and success in avoiding crossing the “red lines” of its adversaries, as well as in exploiting the socioeconomic weaknesses and openness of the West, all play a relevant role in understanding the political context. As for instruments, Russia has developed st...

Raidkiri valmis ligikaudu 521-518 a eKr 2 ning see on märkimisväärne ja ainulaadne ajalooline allikas varajase Pärsia ajaloo mõistmiseks. Pole kahtlust, et Dareios I Behistuni raidkiri on väga tähtis ajalooline dokument kogu muistse Lähis-Ida aja-, kultuuri-ja usundiloo tundmaõppimisel (Sazonov 2016: 103). Raidkiri oli pandud kirja koguni kolmes Pärsia impeeriumi aladel tollal käibel olnud tähtsas kiilkirjakeeles-vanapärsia, akadi ja eelami. Mainimisväärt on kindlasti ka asjaolu, et DB raidkirja kolm erikeelset versiooni on sisu poolest praktiliselt täiesti identsed, välja arvatud mõni väiksem keeleline eripära.

the research, either of the abuse of history by Russia to reach its foreign and domestic political goals in the broader sense, nor for domestic purposes, as in many cases, these are two outcomes that are both the
aim of such abuse of history. The article is designed to illuminate, in author’s opinion, the most important aspect of this abuse – the questioning of the legacy of the incorporation of Latvia into the USSR as, aside from historiographical discourse, it also provides a base for the restoration of the independence of Latvia in 1990 and thus, is inseparable from current constitutional and international legal realities.
