Unwanted Visionaries
Mikhail Gorbachev's relations with the West have captured the imagination of contemporaries and historians alike, but his vision of Soviet leadership in Asia has received far less attention. The failure of Gorbachev's Asian initiatives has had dramatic consequences, by the late 1980s, the Soviet Union was in full retreat from Asia, and since the Soviet collapse, Russia has been left on the sidelines of the "Pacific century." In this exceptionally wide-ranging and deeply researched book, Sergey Radchenko offers an illuminating account of the end of the Cold War in the East, tracing the death of Soviet ambitions in Asia. Radchenko shows that Gorbachev began with big gestures, of which the most...

INTELLECTUAL MULTI-LEVEL SYSTEM FOR NEURO-FUZZY AND COGNITIVE ANALYSIS AND FORECAST OF SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL AND INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT
The article is devoted to description of structure and operation algorithms of a multilevel intellectual system for analysis and forecast of scientific-technological and innovative development of objects and territories based on expert methods, trainable models of fuzzy logic and fuzzy cognitive analysis. The article analyses distinctions and advantages of the system in making forecast evaluation and scenarios of the dynamics of multidimensional feature objects and processes. The authors have built a neutrosophic cognitive map for interaction of technologies based on the results of foresight studies.
Computer Intelligence Against Pandemics
This book introduces the most recent research and innovative developments regarding the new strains of COVID-19. While medical and natural sciences have been working instantly on deriving solutions and trying to protect humankind against such virus types, there is also a great focus on technological developments for improving the mechanism – momentum of science for effective and efficient solutions. At this point, computational intelligence is the most powerful tools for researchers to fight against COVID-19. Thanks to instant data-analyze and predictive techniques by computational intelligence, it is possible to get positive results and introduce revolutionary solutions against related me...
Design of Fuzzy Cognitive Model of Mutual Influence and Connectivity of Innovative Technologies
The article is devoted to research and development of fuzzy cognitive model of mutual influence and connectivity of innovative technologies on the basis of synthesis of interdisciplinary research strategies -foresight methods based on logically transparent mechanisms of interpretation of the solution, expert weighting methods and neutrosophic cognitive maps. Neutrosophic cognitive map of mutual influence and connectivity of innovative technologies is constructed on the basis of data on the nature and intensity of these interactions, allowing to calculate the degree of influence of one or several concepts (technologies), taking into account their state, on the target indicator, and also calculate the fixed state of the concept system. The results of experimental verification and the multiplicative effect of the developed model on the data of expert surveys are described, under conditions of transition to the 6th technological order.
Gorbachev And The Soviet Future

Everything is Normal
Everything is Normal offers a lighthearted worm’s-eye-view of the USSR through the middle-class Soviet childhood of a nerdy boy in the 1970s and ’80s. A relatable journey into the world of the late-days Soviet Union, Everything is Normal is both a memoir and a social history—a reflection on the mundane deprivations and existential terrors of day-to-day life in Leningrad in the decades preceding the collapse of the USSR. Sergey Grechishkin’s world is strikingly different, largely unknown, and fascinatingly unusual, and yet a world that readers who grew up in the United States or Europe during the same period will partly recognize. This is a tale of friendship, school, and growing up—to read Everything is Normal is to discover the very foreign way of life behind the Iron Curtain, but also to journey back into a shared past.
