The Republic of China is the specific subject of International Law, because after many years of functioning formal and legal status of the island remains unregulated. According to the classical concept of state Taiwan has all three requirements necessary to be considered as a state organism. However, in situation where law and international relations have become very complicated and developed, it is not a sufficient condition to give recognition to the Republic of China as a full-fledged state creation. The necessity is the acknowledgement of the Republic of China by the international community, which was lost in the second half of the twentieth century. Many historical events politically oriented has contributed to this situation. Two major events of international importance relevantly complicated the situation of the Republic of China. The outbreak of civil war in China ended in 1949 with failure of the Kuomintang, as well as the Korean War in 1950. The first one lead to the rule of Mao Zedong’s and proclamation, on 1st October 1949, The People’s Republic of China on the mainland while the sovereign government of The Republic of China was established in Taiwan. Another important moment in the history of Taiwan was exclusion its representatives from the UN body in 1971, which resulted in 2 years of almost total political isolation of Taiwan. The problem of Taiwan and its representation in international organizations remain unsolved for decades, which is a precedent in international law.

This article examines the interaction between the Soviet animation and the political environment during the Brezhnev era, particularly focusing on the life and work of animators at the studio “Soiuzmultfilm”. By tracing the animators’ family backgrounds, professional, and life experience, this study offers an insight into the particularities of evolution of Soviet animation and its socio-cultural context. As we will argue, the studio “Soiuzmultfilm” created a social substratum of cartoon animators, who through their work produced an alternative message to the official one. The cartoon directors, in search for novel and effective ways to express their inner world, in the early 1960s launched a period full of experiments, which became the “Golden age” of the Soviet animation. The avalanche of styles, genres, and artistic techniques contributed to the apparition of cinema d’auteur genre, which brought international recognition to the Soviet animation.

Is unchangeability really the touchstone of integrity? we ask, picking our way among the remains of defunct futuramas, whether aggressive or friendly. Consider the requirement of absolute, across the- board consistency, the yardstick that the implacable Constructivist Lajos Kassák insisted was the measure of twentieth-century art. Was it necessary to equate the aesthetic with the moral, see as authentically aesthetic only what was perceived as morally right?

The picture becomes more complete as new detail and analysis become available; it is also being seen in an ever new light from a different perspective with an ever shifting emphasis.

“This population is the most mixed with diverse nations of any in the kingdom,” a sixteenth-century inhabitant of Lyon said to account for disorders there: “Italians, Florentines, Genoese, Lucchese, Swiss, Germans, Spanish and other nations. This is a city of as many parts as the spots of a leopard’s skin. A strange populace!” In his memoir The Tongue Set Free: Remembrance of a European childhood, the writer Elias Canetti recalled fondly the mix in his Danube town of Ruschuk in the early twentieth century.

Hungary is considered as a musical country thanks to the large number of Hungarian-born musicians who have attained world fame. This claim can be further backed by a unique feature of the forty years of totalitarianism in Hungary (1949-89). They produced a snobbish dictatorship that tried to educate its citizens, initially through severe censorship, which later became more relaxed. The less money this policy had at its disposal, the less it exercised censorship on education. One of the focuses of this campaign “Let’s Educate the Hungarian Masses” was classical music—Hungarian and foreign.

This text deals with one of the neglected topics of contemporary social pedagogy which extends to developmental psychology and sociology. This topic is so-called cult of youth which is often mentioned in the academic literature, but has not been precisely conceptualized. This text was therefore focused on the definition of basic category, i.e. youth, and then discussed the relationship to the cult of youth and the individual elements that helps to form it. The cult of youth is associated with so called youth culture, which has been spread and produced by global media. The influence of the media has been already evident from the 60’s of the 20th century, when we often talk about American cultural hegemony which presents within its production the popular culture and youthful lifestyle, which is then presented in magazines, music media, fashion industry, etc. For contemporary capitalist society the concept of the cult of youth is a useful concept as only successful, young and efficient individuals can consume new and new products (as well as use the services) typical for this still-rising imaginary phase of human life. Therefore the cult of youth is the domain of successful people who do not want to lose their success. Only socially successful can try to be “forever young”.
