  • The Russian Annexation of Crimea - The 2014 Crisis and Its Geopolitical Consequences - cover

    The Russian Annexation of Crimea...

    The annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014 marked a pivotal moment in global geopolitics, triggering widespread international condemnation and transforming the political landscape of Eastern Europe. Situated on the northern coast of the Black Sea, Crimea had long held strategic importance for Russia, both militarily and culturally. The region's historical connection to Russia dates back centuries, and its annexation was perceived by many as an assertion of Russian power and influence in the post-Soviet space. 
      
    The crisis unfolded against the backdrop of political upheaval in Ukraine. In November 2013, protests erupted in Kyiv after then-President Viktor Yanukovych's decision to abandon an association agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia. The protests, known as Euromaidan, led to Yanukovych’s ousting and sparked a chain of events that would destabilize Ukraine. As Ukraine’s new government navigated this turbulent period, Russia saw an opportunity to regain control over Crimea, a region with a substantial Russian-speaking population and significant military value, including the Black Sea Fleet stationed in Sevastopol. 
      
    Russia's annexation of Crimea was carried out through a combination of covert military action and political maneuvering. Russian troops, initially unmarked, swiftly took control of key government buildings and strategic locations across Crimea. A disputed referendum held in March 2014, where a reported 97% of voters favored joining Russia, was widely criticized for its lack of legitimacy and fairness. The annexation was swiftly recognized by Russia, despite the overwhelming condemnation from the international community.

    The Gift of Not Belonging - How...

    From a renowned psychiatrist comes the first book to explore the otrovert personality—someone who feels like an outsider in any group, regardless of its members—revealing all the advantages of being an otrovert and ways they contribute to the world.  Were you the kid who never wanted to join after school clubs or go to sleepaway camp? Do you loathe parties but love spending time with close friends one-on-one? Are you allergic to teamwork but thrive creatively and professionally when working alone? Do you struggle to fit in? If so, you are likely an otrovert.  Otroverts are not natural born joiners. Unlike introverts, they are not shy or quiet, and do not quickly tire from one-on-one socializing. Yet in large groups they feel uncomfortable, alienated, and alone. Unlike those who have been excluded or marginalized, otroverts are embraced and often quite popular.  Yet they never feel like they truly belong. ​ In a culture that puts a premium on joining, many otroverts have gone through life feeling misunderstood. But, contrary to what we have been taught, argues psychiatrist Rami Kaminski, belonging is not a requirement for living a rich, rewarding life. Quite the opposite.  When you have no affinity for a particular group, your self-worth is not conditioned on the group’s approval. You can enjoy deep connection in individual relationships without the obligation to follow the rules the group follows, or care about what the group cares about. Best of all, you know of no other way to think or be, other than for yourself.The Gift of Not Belonging urges otroverts to embrace their unique gifts, and equips them with the knowledge and tools to thrive in a communal world.
