Actions of the Russian Armed Forces During the Crimean Spring: Analysis of Media Reports and Publicist Accounts

This paper focuses on the reconstruction of the actions carried out by the Russian military during the events of the Crimean Spring in 2014 as reported by publicistic sources and mainstream media outlets. The main goals of this research are to construct a chronological account of military activities occurring in February and March 2014 and to analize the characteristics of the used sources. Currently, the only available sources documenting the actions of the Russian military in the Crimean region during this time period are journalistic and media reports. Despite purporting to provide accurate depictions of the most significant military occurrences of the Crimean spring, these sources may require verification.

The Legal Nature of the Finnish Markka in the Russian Empire

During its time as part of the Russian Empire, the Grand Duchy of Finland utilized the Finnish markka as its official currency, rather than the Russian ruble. This practice was established de jure in 1860 and de facto in 1865. The aim of this study is to investigate the rationale behind this particular monetary arrangement. The findings suggest that the introduction of the Finnish markka was not driven by a desire to improve the daily lives of Finnish citizens, but rather as a strategic measure to bolster pro-Russian sentiments in Finland. Nonetheless, this development inadvertently laid the solid economic foundations for Finland's eventual separation from the Russian Empire.

Using Mixed Plant Substrates for the Cultivation of Black Soldier Fly Larvae

The article addresses the study which cultivated black soldier fly larvae on three types of mixed nutrient substrates consisting of vegetable matter, wheat bran, and sawdust, with moisture levels set at 70 % and 80 %. The experimental results indicated that the optimal average morphophysiological indicators — length (17.5 mm) and mass (134.2 mg) — along with a survival rate of 92 % were achieved using a substrate made from vegetable matter mixed with bran and sawdust in a ratio of 3:1 at an 80 % moisture content. This high performance is attributed to the sawdust's ability to prevent clumping as the nutrient substrate dries, thereby maintaining its friability.
