SOURCES OF CONFLICTS IN THE MOSCOW REGION THROUGH EYES OF A POLITICAL SCIENTIST
Sources and generators of conflicts are always in the focus of political scientists and sociologists regardless of the overall social tension level in a given region. Even more attention should be paid to the conflict situation analysis in Moscow city and around it as this agglomeration refracts and largely forms political processes at the national and global levels. There is no shortage of sociometric studies on the Muscovites’ aspirations and on social irritators which determine their political mode of thinking and civic stand. This article contains some conclusions drawn from general sociological research. The main conclusion is that conflict potential in contemporary Russia has being determined not only by material factors but by negative trends in ethical atmosphere in the society as well.
Key words: Moscow, conflict situation, conflict factors, corruption, ethics, ideaolgy.

STRATEGY OF ECONOMIC SANCTIONS IN THE INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SCIENCE
The complexity of the post-Cold War international environment has driven policymakers to turn to options between military force and orthodox diplomacy. Economic sanctions fit in between these poles, and have become virtually the default option in foreign policy. This issue motivates our research – to analyze the meaning of economic sanctions in the international political science in the light of two main theoretical approaches such as liberalism and realism. The author underscores that in liberalism sanctions are understood as a measure to enforce international obligations fulfillment and the mechanism to ensure international peace and security. Contrary to liberalists, realists argue that economic sanctions are a foreign policy tool directed to produce a policy change in the target, and to coerce an opponent to do what a sanctioning country wants.
Key words: economic sanctions, sanctions efficacy, political science, theory of international policy, realism, liberalism, foreign policy.

PROBLEMS OF POLITICAL NATIONALISM DEVELOPMENT IN CHUVASH REPUBLIC IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 1990
Chuvash Republic is the subject of contemporary Russian Federation. The collapse of the Soviet Union assisted to the change in the political status of the Republic. Transformation of the Chuvash ASSR into Chuvash Republic led to activization of civil and political nationalism in the region. National Revival, on the one hand, was too short and nationalism did not get the status of determining factor in the political development. On the other hand, the political activization of nationalism institutionalized conditions for development of nationalism in other areas of society.
Key words: Chuvash Republic, the first half of the 1990s, regionalization, federalization, political nationalism.

POLITICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS OF PARLIAMENTARY AND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS OF THE YEARS 2011 AND 2012 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS OF 2011: PROTEST AND FALSIFICATIONS Part III
In the submitted material the author continues his research devoted to the political and legal analyses of parliamentary and presidential elections held in the years 2011 and 2012. At the first stage of the12th pre-election congress of the United Russia party, held on September 23 and 24, it was announced that V.V. Putin and D.A. Medvedev would swap jobs with V.V. Putin returning to the position of president and D.A. Medvedev becoming chairman of the government. This event determined the course of the elections. The swap announcement has actually divided the course of the election campaign at the 2011 parliamentary elections into two parallel processes. One was a formally regulated by the election law election campaign carried out by the parties admitted to participate in the elections. Another was an informal info-communicative process that developed among the opposing part of the society, including non-systematic political opposition, a part of which was an exchange of information regarding election campaign frauds and a discussion regarding possible forms and methods of protest participation or non-participation in the vote. The election campaign carried out by the parties was held according to the already traditional under the ruling regime scenario that cannot exist without violations of the election laws and without such manifestation of political corrupt practice as an abuse of all types of administrative resources at all levels, mobilized to support United Russia party. On December 4, the election day, the electorate wave of protests ran across reefs of falsehood that determined the official results of the “2011 parliamentary elections”.
Key words: elections, president, parliament, analysis, power, opposition, election campaign.

PARTY SYSTEM OF UKRAINE
The article was not written in connection with the events in Ukraine, but coincided with them in time thus raising its topicality. The events in Kiev evidently demonstrated the importaonce of a serious analysis of political and party system in Ukraine with the view to reveal the pain points and, to the extent possible, reasons for the aggravation of the situation in the country. Undoubtedly, that a country with a normally functioning political system with an adequate feedback does not live through power confrontation , power seizure of administrative buildings and the governmnet does not fulfill the demands of the crouds. But it is exactly the scenario that develops in Kiev and other Ukranian cities for the last few months. It is defficult now to identify the underlying causes and the behind the scenes pupeteers of the Ukranian confrontation, but it is possible to follow the development of the situation before the beginning of its aggravation and to show some rules of such development that is in certain parameters similar to what is going on in some other former USSR countries.
Key words: party system, state, political crisis, elections, government, Ukraine.
