KLANS OF UKRAINE

In our paper, we have identified quasi-stable networks of the most influential Ukrainian oligarch groups with U.S., British and transnational actors. Following the secession from the Soviet Union, patterns of the Ukrainian democratic system have been characterized by the influential power of oligarchs in political processes, media, extracting and manufacturing industries, and finance. This fact translates into the long-lasting cooperation between Western elites and Ukraine’s nouveau riche intending to make their interests part of such interaction.

ESTIMATION OF THE POPULATION OF UKRAINE AND ITS DEMOGRAPHIC PROSPECTS

As of February 2014, the State of Ukraine publishes information on the population of all regions – 45245.9 thousand people. Subtracting 2384 thousand (the population of Crimea and Sevastopol as of February 2014), we get 42861 thousand – the registered population of Ukraine as of February 2014. Further, in subsequent years, all published tables of Ukrstat report on the population of Ukraine, excluding Crimea and Sevastopol. It should be noted that even Ukrstat for the reporting periods shows figures that differ by almost +-100 thousand annually when accounting for those born or living on the reporting date.

However, the Ukrainian authorities hid the truth from the world community and international energy organizations, counting on major repairs.

PERSPECTIVE OF UKRAINE’S NUCLEAR DEFAULT

The issue of creation of industrial capacities in Ukraine is a question of guarantees of supply of the electric power. The thing is that investing in the industry, any investor should be confident in the issue of providing electricity for decades to come: for the payback period of the project (7-15 years) and the life cycle of the enterprise, to obtain a stable profit.

PROSPECTS FOR THE GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY OF MANKIND

It should be borne in mind that the words “survival” and “extinction” in modern rhetoric on world demography are not used at all. It is assumed that the death of humanity can bring microplastics in the oceans, climate change with droughts and melting ice, pollution of cities with gasoline emissions, the atomic bomb in North Korea and too much meat consumption — but not our “family behavior”.
