Karunanidhi's involvement in Tamil politics and governance has "left a superb and enduring legacy," Sonia also said. "I believe he had full confidence that you would nurture and take forward this legacy."
Stalin - The Enduring Legacy
Jeffrey Seiken, the historian at the Veterans Benefits Administration, will discuss the origins, impact, and legacy of the 1944 GI Bill. One of the most transformative pieces of social legislation in US history, the bill provided education and housing benefits to millions of returning veterans and helped ease their integration back into civilian life.
Gathered to pay tribute to the memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, General Assembly delegates and senior officials today recognized the seven decades of leadership and service the Queen gave her country, the Commonwealth of Nations and the world, as well as her steadfast belief in multilateralism and the enduring values that inspired the Charter of the United Nations.
Yet history has a strong hold on this land and its people. And the enduring hope for change here is tempered by skepticism, rooted in the knowledge that Gorbachev will be facing serious obstacles in bringing it about.
The parallels between Gorbachev and Khrushchev, while easily overdrawn, are nonetheless striking. Both came into office saddled with the legacy of a man who had held power for years -- then, it was Stalin, now it is the late Leonid Brezhnev.
Hosseinzadeh shows how the conceptual straitjacket of the noncapitalist road misconstrued anti-imperialist nationalism for socialism in Nasserist Egypt. The legacy of this confusion continues to affect the thought of much of the Egyptian left today.
Immediately after his inaugural, arriving at a place called Yalta in the Crimea, President Roosevelt met again with Stalin and Churchill. The war was going very well. With the continuing firm support of the American people and their allies, Mr. Roosevelt believed that final victory could bring a realistic and enduring peace. In his last public appearance, reporting on Yalta to Congress and the nation, he expressed that belief simply, and these, perhaps [most] of all, are the words that Franklin Delano Roosevelt might have wanted us to remember.
The citizenry's relationship with the state thus remains a central issue for understanding Russia's past and present. The Spring 2006 issue of Kritika contained the first part of a series of articles on subjecthood and citizenship in Russian history, which the present issue continues and concludes. The contributors to the spring issue examined the life and times of prominent liberal thinkers of the late imperial and revolutionary period. The authors in the present issue investigate the evolution of concepts and practices of subjecthood and citizenship in various fields of 19th- and 20th-century Russian life. Paul Werth and Jane Burbank examine how the state and the population engaged one another in the late imperial era, cautiously feeling their way toward a more modern understanding of their reciprocal relationship. Then Melissa Stockdale asks us to consider whether the mass mobilization for the Great War, which marked such a profound caesura in how other countries thought about the political order, might have represented for Russia the beginning of a "path not taken" toward a more "European" understanding of citizenship and nationhood. The remaining three contributions examine how the Revolution and its aftermath affected the evolution of Russian/Soviet thinking about citizenship. Golfo Alexopoulos analyzes how the Soviet regime struggled to define legally what it meant to be a citizen in the isolated revolutionary state that October had inadvertently called into existence. Serhy Yekelchyk and Denis Kozlov, finally, investigate the communist state's effort to link citizenship with public displays of "correct" political emotions, and the growth of a public desire to transcend the bitter legacy of civil strife [End Page 391] and political witch hunts through a political order based on legality and social reconciliation.
"For 45 years, the Helsinki Commission has tirelessly defended human rights and democratic institutions at home and abroad. It has promoted the enduring value of multilateralism and fought to ensure that the United States lives up to our core values, remaining a beacon of hope to those who are oppressed." 2ff7e9595c
