Jackson–Vanik Amendment and Development of Soviet-American Relations in 1972-1975 by V. Yungblyud, D. Ilyin

“…Each of the parties involved regarded the Amendment differently: Soviet leaders saw it as a rude interference in the internal affairs of the USSR; Kissinger saw it as an untimely and too radical in form and methods attempt to transform the Soviet system; Jackson saw it as a good way to increase his popularity by exploiting a popular in the post-Vietnam era theme that was naturally consistent with American national values and traditions.

Canine Actors and Melodramatic Effects: The Dog of Montargis Arrives on the English Stage by Claudia Alonso Recarte

“…This paper examines the choices made for the adaptations of the play and analyses how such aesthetic endeavours (affecting production, plot, and script, among other features) revealed a conception of the non-human other (in this case a species as significant as a dog) that reflected the shifting concerns on animality, their humane treatment, and their position within the overall pervasive sense of ‘Englishness’ and national sentiment. From an analysis of English adaptors’ choice to keep the canine character alive (versus its tragic fate in the French version) to revisiting the character of Dragon through the lens of the domestic ethos of kindness, this paper explores fundamental issues related to Victorian ideals about dogs and their immersion within discourses revolving around loyalty, courage, breed, and capacity for mourning. …”
