In Minsk, the diffusion of democratic ideas leading to the mobilization of population meets a stable authoritarian regime. Nevertheless, the stagnating democratization process cannot be only attributed to the strong authoritarian rule and abuse of power. Indeed, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko still enjoys popularity by a large part of the population. Although international observers report that elections in Belarus have never been free and fair, few commentators doubt that Lukashenko would not have won in democratic elections. This evidence suggests that the regime succeeded in building a strong legitimizing basis, which has not been seriously challenged during the last two decades. This paper explores the authoritarian stability in Belarus by looking at the patterns of state ideology. The government effectively spreads state ideology since the early 2000s. Ideology departments have been created in almost all state institutions. The education sector has been affected by the introduction of the compulsory course "The Fundamentals of Belarusian State Ideology" at all universities, and increasing attention to the patriotic education at schools. Based on document analysis, I trace the creation of "ideological vertical" in Belarus and focuse on the issue of ideology in education and youth policy sectors.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Ratusny2018, author = {Ratusny, Armin}, title = {Flussterrassen und Hochwasser in Passau und die 'Hohe Kunst' regionaler Geomorphologie und Landschaftsgeschichte, eine Suche nach der Wahrheit oder: Noch eine (gedruckte) Katastrophe im Katastrophenjahr 2013}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:739-opus4-5321}, pages = {26}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Der Beitrag rezensiert den Aufsatz von Dieter Anhuf: Der Naturraum Passaus - Gepr{\"a}gt durch (Hoch-)Wasser und Eis.
