Central Asia and its history has long been a part of the Russian speaking Empire. This area has been highly dependent on Russia, as well as persecuted. During tsarist times, Muslims had fewer rights than the Orthodox believers. However, believers were allowed to practice their religion freely while women were quite conservative and wore veils. This was a part of their indigenous culture. Then came the Bolshevik Revolution
As the Bolsheviks started to come to power, they tried to rid the former Russian Empire, and new, soon to be, Soviet Union of Religion. However, to gain support by the Muslims ...

American Foreign Policy on the Cold War and Modern Russia

All Sciences, whether Physical, Social, or a combination of the two (like Anthropology), are based on hypotheses and theories. Some of the unlikeliest scientific theories have arisen from hypotheses that were considered insane at one point.
In the world of Anthropology, the situation is no different. At one point, any supposition that the earth had been formed over billions of years rather than created in a biblical manner was considered criminal. Governments were so thrown apart by statements like this that people were decried as heretics, beheaded or sent into exile. These scientists went against what was mainstream thinking ...

I would like to talk about the movie “Mountain Patrol”, filmed in 2004 by the Chinese director Chuan Lu. The peculiarity of this director's narrative is inherent in all of his films, but here he surpassed himself. Merging in one movie two different approaches – the artistic and documentary one was an unmatched idea. At least, hardly anyone else came across this symbiosis. It really turned out a beautiful picture, in which both actors and documentary were involved. I believe that his film was a key moment in the struggle to save the antelope Chiru, not only in China but ...

Introduction

History reveals that dynastic authoritarian governing had many challenges in most countries where it was exercised. Dynastic involves a succession of rulers from the same family lineage; a family maintains power all throughout through hereditary means. A country that had such ruling, for example, was ancient China in which there were various dynasties. China for a long period was faced with wars, bloodshed, and conflicts because of the dynastic ruling, people killed each other in order to succeed a power. The succession alternated from competent rulers to incompetent ones and vice versa, and the government was marred with corruption, discrimination, and dictatorial leadership. ...

Introduction

It has long been posited by scholars and other professionals that the early civilizations in Greece and in other parts of Europe were initiated because of the presence of Africans who had migrated to Europe from Northern Africa.

The fact that foreign plants are far from the United States does not mean that the corporations cannot be in a position to monitor them.
