한트케의 침묵극에 나타난 몸담론의 의미 : 「우리가 서로 알 수 없었던 시간」의 예에서

In February 2019, Handke’s silent play, entitled “Die Stunde da wir nichts voneinander wußten”, was performed in Seoul. The play was originally completed and had its maiden performance in Germany in 1992. Handke’s play brought social issues to the stage in a unique way through silence and body language. In an era where existing plays were produced based on lines and dialogue, this play, stood out in stark contrast. This silent play received little attention as it was overshadowed by various forms of experimentation in postmodernist plays. Handke was making a declaration of independence through his play, which he viewed from an aesthetical point of view with critical acceptance, to escape from the world of existing dialogue based plays and broaden the audience’s opportunity to become actual participants. Handke’s reputation as an avant-garde playwright was established in the early 70’s with his play “Publikumsbeschimpfung” and his play, “Die Stunde da wir nichts voneinander wußten” has only strengthened this reputation. “Die Stunde da wir nichts voneinander wußten” is a play which is born out of the remorse for modern people’s misuse of oral language and the existentiality which is to never give up. Handke’s aim was to focus on one’s self existence instead of the private possession of one’s self. Handke endeavoured to pursue the formation and dissolution of one’s self, through physicality and purposefully used silence to enhance that physicality. Using body language, Handke managed to replace the lethargic language found in traditional plays that do not express the extent of everyday painful realities. The meaning of body discourse in “Die Stunde da wir nichts voneinander wußten” tells the importance of communication through body language which has been forgotten and replaced by spoken language. At least for this reason alone, Hantke's journey to a new theatrical world best reflects the philosophical intent of communication by the original author Hantke to penetrate a world of alienation, loneliness and indifference in the human race.

Relationship of Rich People and Poor People in the Bible: The Systematic Search

The aim this research is to the systematic search of relationship of rich people and poor people in the bible. The Bible has a saying about relation richman and poorman. Riches are really no problem in the Bible, the problem is mindset about poverty and how we e the poverty in life together. So far in Israel poverty is very closely associated with the economic system in which people life. When Israel gave up its life in the wilderness and a semi-nomadic people became a nation of farmers, acquired private possessions and poverty emerged as a social problem. Different social groups came into being conflicting interest. Poverty ceased to be a purely material circumstance and was seen as a sign of inferiority. It was experienced as exploitation. The poorman became the victim of oppressors. In this way the richman became the target of the most important counter-attack on unjust condition prophetic criticism. Because the foundation of the social construc of Israel is covenant with Yahweh. Consequency from this construc in the life style of Israel, the form of social relationships must be equality, appreciate to the righ of every person and the same in life one another. The Christian community applying this style in Reviews their life excist when the early church.

Do Mass Shooters Prefer Large-Capacity Magazines?

There are over 58.9 million firearms magazines holding over ten rounds in private possession in the U.S. and at least 14.8 percent of private guns are equipped with magazines this large, while no more than 15.8 percent of U.S. mass shootings (4+ dead) in 2012-2019 involved a shooter using such a magazine. Thus, mass shooters use LCMs with a frequency not significantly greater than one would expect based on the share of U.S. guns equipped with LCMs. This accords with previous research showing that LCM use is neither necessary nor helpful to offenders trying to shoot large numbers of victims in mass shooting incidents (Kleck 2016).

Children, parents and non-parents: to whom does ‘the future’ belong?

Narratives of ‘the future’ shape action, and the idea that certain members of society have more of a claim to ‘the future’ than others has received explicit articulation from academics, political commentators and journalists. Children are often viewed as the embodiment of ‘the future’, with parents positioned as having unique stakes in ‘the future’, particularly in comparison to non-parents. Asserting one agent’s rights to ‘the future’ inevitably undercuts another’s, and marginalised groups may be held responsible for the state of ‘the future’ but rendered unable to speak about it. In contrast, we argue that ‘the future’ is not the private possession of exclusionary subject positions or reductive political imaginaries which reduce the possible to a continuation of capitalist ethno-nations. Instead, we propose to understand futures as a collective intergenerational endeavour involving critical reflection on the present in order to challenge injustices in the present and enact evaluable changes. Doing so requires nothing short of a radical reimagining and remaking of childhood, (non)parenthood and adult–child relations.

Medical cannabis: What practitioners need to know.

The South African (SA) Constitutional Court recently decriminalised the private cultivation, possession and use of cannabis by adults. Cannabis contains varying amounts of the cannabinoids delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), depending on various cultivation factors. No commercial plant-derived cannabis products are currently registered by the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) for medical use. Such products are therefore unregulated, but are freely available in SA, and may be of inadequate quality and unverified composition, and not guaranteed to be safe or effective. SAHPRA has to date approved only one synthetic medical cannabis product, dronabinol. Evidence supporting benefit from medical cannabis exists for two drug-resistant childhood forms of epilepsy, Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Adjuvant therapy with medical cannabis can reduce seizure frequency for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome by 18.8% and 22.8%, respectively, and may be beneficial for other rare forms of epilepsy. There is moderate evidence for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting with the synthetic cannabinoids. Multiple sclerosis-associated spasticity showed a small clinical improvement in self-reported spasticity when a purified form of THC/CBD was added to existing therapy. Currently, low-level or no convincing evidence exists for the use of medical cannabis for chronic pain, sleep and weight disorders, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Cannabis is associated with a greater risk of adverse effects than active and placebo controls, and may be involved in clinically significant drug-drug interactions. The evolving regulatory and legal landscape on the use of medical cannabis will guide prescription and recreational use in the coming years.

Picture Postcards Sent from Japan by Austro-Hungarian Navy Members

Many of the old Japanese postcards archived in Slovenia today date from the period between the 1890s and 1920s when Austro-Hungarian Navy members were active and travelled to Japan as a part of their duties. Collectors and users of these postcards were of Slovenian origin. Their postcards were identified in the National and University Library in Ljubljana and in the Maritime Museum “Sergej Mašera” Piran. A postcard in private possession has also been added to the list. The format regulation of postcard printing changed in Japan in 1907 and this is confirmed using the postcards identified in Slovenia. The main motifs of the pictures were of scenery, portraits and individual objects. Among them, the category of scenery is dominated by ports, such as Yokohama, Kobe and Nagasaki, which are later overtaken as they become tourist destinations. The most characteristic postcards from this period around the turn of the century fall under the category of portrait: clothing and hairdos, customs and professions were all the focus of attention. These photos were made in photo studios with the aim of introducing Japan and its culture to Western visitors. As for the category of individual objects, picture postcards of Russian and Japanese warships attract our eyes.

The Commodification of Public Spaces on Khao San Road

This study focuses on the mechanisms and institutions for the governance of public spaces on Khao San Road, Bangkok. Khao San is a small road famous for tourism. It is located near major attractions, and is full of budget accommodations and street vendors. This street is known among the locals and foreign tourists as one of Bangkok’s most vibrant and lively.
 Furthermore, Khao San offers immense opportunity for vendors, as it is crowded with tourists all day. This factor is of utmost importance to the success of businesses. Therefore, competitions for prime vending spots on the road have been going on for years. Under these circumstances, public spaces are transformed into private goods that can be traded, transferred and deprived in reality. With the qualitative method of grounded theory, this paper reveals the process of Khao San Road’s commodification as well as the mechanisms and institutions involved in the process. Qualitative data collected using three methods: non-participant observations, in-depth interviews, and document studies were triangulated and analysed. The findings suggest that both external and internal mechanisms have stimulated the commodification of public spaces on Khao San Road over the past decades. The external mechanisms are tourism and multinational capitalist economy. The internal mechanism relates to community norms on the de facto individual rights over public spaces. These mechanisms have developed unofficial rules to work at an operational level with official rules supervised by officials. A critical outcome of these mechanisms and rules is the determination of the right to access and use public spaces by various groups of stakeholders.
 In conclusion, the paper discusses the relationship between the commodification of public spaces and the inequality problem. Public spaces as private goods are not different from other private possessions that can be excluded through price, authority, and policy mechanisms. Collaboration between mechanisms has resulted in only a small number of people having the opportunity to indeed access and utilise the resources on the street. People whose opportunity is denied need to bring themselves into the patronage system to ensure the survival of their businesses.

Archaeological Excavations of Adam Oršić: Fieldwork as a Source of Power and Authority

The period between the two world wars is extremely important for the history of Serbian and Yugoslav archaeology, because this is the time when the discipline was rapidly institutionalized – new museums are established, new professionals are trained, and large fieldwork projects are initiated. At that moment, as well as immediately after – during the World War II, European archaeology is to the great extent oriented towards the German professionals and institutions. In Germany and Austria institutionalization started earlier, by the beginning of the 20th century, so a great number of the Serbian and Yugoslav archaeologists was educated in the German centres – Marburg, Berlin, Munich, Vienna and other universities. Adam Oršić started working in archaeology in 1930s, self-taught and leaning primarily on the experience of older colleagues, rather than on formal education, which he did not possess at the time. However, he started fieldwork on the sites in Niš and the surrounding area, collecting a huge set of data, that remained in his private possession. It was this data collection and his vast fieldwork experience in southern Serbia that for Oršić opened the door of Ahnenerbe and heritage protection institutions during the occupation. As the result of the status he achieved at the time, he was sent to Oswald Menghin in Vienna, where he completed his dissertation in 1944. During the war, his insistence on fieldwork as the essential part of archaeological research became even more pronounced, leading to his suggestion to Ahnenerbe to organize an expedition in Serbia and Macedonia. The status acquired by his doctorate under the mentorship of Menghin, the leading praehistorian of Europe at the time, enabled Oršić to continue his archaeological work after the war, first as a refugee in Austria, and then as an immigrant to Brazil. Oršić considered fieldwork as the means through which archaeologists acquire exclusive knowledge. He himself used this knowledge throughout his career to strengthen his authority and to achieve esteem in the academic community. His vast experience and knowledge of the sites in Serbia contributed to the respect he enjoyed by the authorities during the war, set his educational path, and ultimately secured him the status he enjoyed in the settings he worked till the end of his life.

A Study on Possession and Suffering from the Viewpoint of Early Buddhism

현대인들은 자신이 삶에 대한 성찰이나 존재에 대한 성찰보다도 무엇을 소유할지 어떻게 소유라는 목표에 도달할지에 대해서 더 많이 고민하며 소유가 중심이 되는 삶을 살아간다. 그리고 많은 사람들이 소유를 통해 행복에 도달하고자 한다. 그러나 소유로 인한 행복은 일시적으로는 즐거운 느낌을 주지만 지속되기는 어렵다. 현대인들이 이미 많은 것을 가지고 있지만 그것에 만족하지 못하고 더 많은 것을 소유하고자 하며 자신과 타인의 소유물을 끊임없이 비교하면서 괴로워하기 때문이다. 이처럼 소유와 관련된 괴로움은 대부분 더 많이 소유하고자 하는 집착과 탐욕에서 비롯된다. 소유와 관련하여 불교가 무소유만을 주장했을 거라는 일반적인 인식과는 달리 붓다는 출가자에게 사적 소유를 제한하였지만 재가자에게는 재물의 소유를 크게 제한하지 않았다. 또한 재가자들은 직업을 가지고 재물의 축적할 수 있었고 물질적인 행복을 추구할 수 있었다. 그러나 붓다는 소유로 인한 집착에 대해서는 경계해야 함을 분명하게 강조하였다. 본 논문에서는 소유가 중심이 되는 삶을 추구함으로써 겪게 되는 괴로움에 대해 고찰하고 대처방안으로 존재가 중심이 되는 삶의 양식으로의 전환을 제시한다. 불교적 관점에서 존재가 중심이 되는 삶은 자애로운 마음을 바탕으로 보시를 실천하는 삶이라고 할 수 있다. 불교의 자애와 보시는 사랑과 나눔을 통해 부와 물질에 대한 집착과 탐욕을 약화시켜 괴로움으로 벗어날 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.Contrary to the general perception that Buddhism asserts non-possession, Buddha restricted private possession among the monastics but did not restrict the possession of property among the lay people. Furthermore, lay people could accumulate property with their occupation and pursue their material welfare. However, in this modern world, suffering from one’s possessions took up many departures. The suffering related to possession originated from the obsession and greed of most modern people who already possess numerous things, yet want to obtain a great deal more. That is why they are suffering as they compare their acquisitions with those of others’. Modern people live their lives in such a way that their possession becomes central to their lives, distressing themselves greatly with the idea of what to do with their possessions or how to reach their goal to advance their position, rather than introspecting about their existence or examining their lives. Buddha did not deny lay people from owning possessions, but he clearly emphasized that they must be careful about being obsessed with them. This study aims to investigate the suffering one incurs from pursuing the possessive life of “To Have,” and suggests a shift to an existential life of “To Be” as a countermeasure. From the Buddhist point of view, the central point of existence is to practice generosity based on a compassionate mind. The loving-kindness and generosity of Buddhism suggests the possibility of seeking relief from suffering by weakening one’s obsession and greed for wealth and material things through love and sharing.

Noty proweniencyjne i właściciele ksiąg biblioteki klasztoru cysterek w Trzebnicy w świetle inwentarza Heleny Szwejkowskiej

Many of the marks of ownership were included in the inventory of the Library of the Cistercian Monastery in Trzebnica. Owners and history of individual book are known to us thanks to the provenience notes which Helena Szwejkowska recorded in her catalogue. The author of the abovementioned work gathered all provenience notes into a few groups, which allowed us to see how the book collection was growing.That was possible because of buying books and people who decided to give their books to the monastery library. Although it was forbidden, a lot of nuns were in private possession of books and when they died their books become part of library in Trzebnica. Abbesses of the monastery in Trzebnica were also listed in Szwejkowska’s catalogue as book’s owners.By provenience notes we can also see the connections between the monastery in Trzebnica and other Cistercian monasteries in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth eg. Lubiąż, Jemielnica, Przemęt. Also there was an exchange of books between Trzebnica and it’s branch in Owińska.Many of the books were brought to Trzebnica by priests who were confessors and sermonizers to Cistercian nuns. There are evidences that some of the books were brought to the monastery in Trzebnica by Eugeniusz Lenga (who later was an abbot in Jemielnica) and Benedykt Cieszkont (who used to be the confessor in Trzebnica). Kasper from Przemęt has to be mentioned as the one who brought some of the manuscripts.A lot of highly valuable information can be read by historians from margin notes and other marks that were written on the pages of books in the library in Trzebnica. Especially important are provenience marks from the period of the dissolution of the monastery when all the precious books were removed from Trzebnica by Johann Gustaw Büsching.

‘In common for everyone’: shared space and private possessions in the English parish church nave

ABSTRACTMedieval historians have long emphasised the social significance of the installation of fixed and owned seats in English parish churches, but its impact was affective and ideological too. Since the late thirteenth century, church authorities had decreed that all worshippers should have equal access to the nave but seating introduced an object with many of the characteristics of private property into space theoretically held in common. Judges and bishops not only rued this as a corruption of Christian egalitarianism but also feared the opportunities for sensory enrichment, privacy and conflict that came with purchased pews. A new proprietary culture developed in churches that stimulated new practices, affective bonds and ideas about how entitlements and hierarchies from parochial life should or could be transplanted into the nave space.

Documents against ‘Knowledge’; immanence and transcendence and approaching legal materials

In the wake of Ingold’s critique of ‘materiality’, one that highlights the cosmological assumptions about spirit and matter that the concept inscribes, I examine ‘material’ documents that record custom and indigenous knowledge on the Rai Coast of Papua New Guinea. Documents and books have a history there bound up with colonial governance and with missionisation, thus a strong connection with imposed ‘law’ in local understanding, yet the production and circulation of documents have also been a site of resistance to the imposition of outside forms of politics, law, and ‘knowledge’. Examining the documents they choose to make themselves makes us consider whether knowledge and law is something that exists ‘to be’ documented, or whether in fact, documentation (like initiation or gardening) may be where knowledge is ‘immanent’ (following Strathern’s recent formulation). Their documentation is ‘against’ knowledge in the image of a transcendental and universal commons, or a private possession. Focusing on their modes of making knowledge appear leads to a consideration of the performance of knowledge, the time and manner of its revelation and concealment, and of how different (cosmological) conceptions of ‘materials’ and process can be of interest in shaping a ‘legal materialist’ approach without a transcendent image of law.

Pastoral Practices and Common Use of Pastureland: The Case of Karakul, North-Eastern Tajik Pamirs.

This study describes pastoralism practiced in the Karakul village, Northeast of Tajikistan, and discusses its sustainability. Tajikistan introduced a market economy at independence in 1991, and pastoralism is now practiced on a family-unit basis. The families in Karakul graze livestock in their summer pastureland (jailoo) and move their livestock to winter pastureland around the village (kyshtoo). They make groups for pasturage with several families in jailoo and also in kyshtoo. Each group pastures their livestock every day, using a system called novad. In addition to jailoo and kyshtoo, they also practice pastoralism on two additional kinds of pastureland: küzdöö (spring pastureland) and bäärlöö (autumn pastureland). Still, now, the Karakul villagers use their pastureland as the commons: the Karakul village has not established private possession of pastureland even after a law enabled the division of common pastureland among individual families. Using the pastureland as the commons would be preferred by the local pastoralists. However, the free pasture access as the commons may result in a loss of sustainability as a trade-off. Regardless of privatization or the continued use of the commons, the possible development of the uneven use of the pastureland is inferred and should be avoided, and the introduction of a local management structure is urgently needed.

A ‘Call to Tools’: DIY between State Building and Consumption Practices in the GDR

This article discusses state attempts to politicize do-it-yourself activities in order to strengthen the regime of the Socialist Unity Party (SED) in East Germany. To be sure, for many East Germans DIY practices were a hobby and a pastime. Given the notorious shortage of consumer goods and the slow progress in improving standards of living in the GDR, however, it was also a strategy to overcome the shortcomings of the socialist society. The SED attempted to make a virtue out of this necessity by reinterpreting DIY practices as a personal contribution to the building up of the GDR and socialist society. Performed in the right way, practices of DIY were supposed to contribute to both the material and the ideological consolidation of the GDR. In order to direct DIY activities towards undertakings defined as most important by state and party officials, the regime developed particular organizational structures. The annual competition ‘Join in!’, on which this article focuses, addressed the housing situation and therefore one of the most pressing problems of the GDR. Calling upon the East German population to devote their leisure time to the creation of housing spaces, the renovation of state-owned apartment blocks, and the erection and preservation of parks and playgrounds, however, caused new problems. While the East German state tried to generate pride in communal facilities and in public goods rather than in private possessions, this ideal competed with practices of DIY where citizens used their handiwork to improve their private standard of life.

Distribution and Existence of Books in the Religious Department and Educational Institutions of Yakutia (1638—1917)

The article presents the history of book occurrence in Yakutia, gives a brief review of the litera- ture on this subject, and reveals the first information and facts on the existence of books in this region. The author analyzes the list of service books, sent to the Lensky Ostrog in 1638, which reflects the earliest evidence of book emergence, the facts of origination of private books sale-purchase and possession, the circle of owners, etc. The article reviews the mechanisms of book collections formation of the Religious Department, analyzes the registers of the books obligatory for ordering by the decree of the Ecclesiastical Consistory and the regulations for opening field churches with books for the people with a nomadic way of life. The author characterizes the churches of Yakutia as educational and spiritual centers of targeted dissemination and distribution of books, notes the features of mandatory distribution in the churches of Yakutia and the origins of formation of book orders from private booksellers by the Religious Department. A significant place in the article is given to the educational institutions of Yakutia of the period under review: their sorts, types, forms of ownership, geographic location, and a list of the bookselling firms that collaborated with both spiritual and secular educational institutions. The geography of orders, the orga- nization and the quantitative and qualitative composition of the collections of educational and teachers’ libraries, the acquisition profiles via the printed catalogs of bookstores and the circulars, as well as the formation of book collections of the educational institutions of Yakutia are of great interest.

Cost-based analysis of autonomous mobility services

Fast advances in autonomous driving technology trigger the question of suitable operational models for future autonomous vehicles. A key determinant of such operational models’ viability is the competitiveness of their cost structures. Using a comprehensive analysis of the respective cost structures, this research shows that public transportation (in its current form) will only remain economically competitive where demand can be bundled to larger units. In particular, this applies to dense urban areas, where public transportation can be offered at lower prices than autonomous taxis (even if pooled) and private cars. Wherever substantial bundling is not possible, shared and pooled vehicles serve travel demand more efficiently. Yet, in contrast to current wisdom, shared fleets may not be the most efficient alternative. Higher costs and more effort for vehicle cleaning could change the equation. Moreover, the results suggest that a substantial share of vehicles may remain in private possession and use due to their low variable costs. Even more than today, high fixed costs of private vehicles will continue to be accepted, given the various benefits of a private mobility robot.

A Comparative Analysis of Multidimensional Poverty in Sudan and South Sudan

AbstractThis paper assesses multidimensional poverty in Sudan and South Sudan. We use the National Baseline Household Surveys of 2009 to measure poverty incidence in education, consumption, access to public assets and possession of private assets across these two countries. We differentiate between children aged 6 to 14 years and adults aged 15 years or older. We apply a counting method for measuring multidimensional poverty at the individual level and perform dominance tests to check for the robustness of the poverty comparisons. Our findings show regional and sub‐population differences in the unidimensional and multidimensional poverty status of people in both countries. Poverty in Sudan is generally less severe than in South Sudan, with a pattern showing (1) lesser unidimensional incidence of poverty and (2) lower multidimensional poverty indices and prevalence, but similar breadth, both for adults and children. This pattern also points towards Khartoum and Western Equatoria as the states with the least poverty, and Northern Darfur, and Warap as the states with the greatest poverty, both for adults and children, in Sudan and South Sudan, respectively. Policy intended at reducing poverty in each of the two countries should recognize the poverty profile differences across age groups, geographical areas and dimensions.

La recepción de remesas familiares internacionales y su impacto en la economía doméstica en Santiago de Cali, Colombia

<p>En esta investigación se analiza el papel que tienen las remesas familiares internacionales en la economía doméstica de los hogares receptores en el municipio de Cali, Colombia. Seutiliza como fuente primaria de información la Encuesta de empleo y calidad de vida del año 2013. Para conocer el efecto que tienen las remesas en la economía doméstica de loshogares receptores, fue necesario efectuar un procedimiento metodológico con los microdatos de la encuesta referida, a fin de identificar a los individuos beneficiarios y no beneficiaros de remesas en sus hogares. Además, se construyó un índice de bienestar material para los hogares receptores y para su contraparte, a partir de tres dimensiones: características de la vivienda, servicios públicos de la vivienda y tenencia de bienes.Entre los principales hallazgos, se puede mencionar que: a) las remesas contribuyen a mejorar la calidad de vida de los hogares, al mitigar sus necesidades básicas, pero noaportan al bienestar de la familia a largo plazo; b) los hogares transnacionales además de utilizar los ingresos para el consumo inmediato, se preocupan por mejorar su calidad devida: invierten, aunque sea poco, en educación y salud; c) la migración es una estrategia familiar “orientada no tanto a obtener el máximo posible de ingresos, sino a diversificar susfuentes, con el fin de reducir los riesgos como el desempleo o la pérdida de ingresos” (Arango, 2000, p. 12). Así se evita la precariedad y el hambre en los hogares; d) los ingresos de los hogares receptores en Cali tienen un papel importante en la sustentabilidad del hogar, al invertirse en el desarrollo de capacidades, como la educación, que permitirá, en un futuro, menos dependencia económica de las remesas.</p>

Management of Strategic Resources as a Function of the Russian State

The function of the state — the management of strategic resources — becomes relevant on the threshold of the post-market economy and global depletion of mineral resources. The economic and political situation in the world is aggravated by the crisis of state system as the institution of management. In the article, the approach to the definition of the strategic resources of the state is presented. The examples of measures taken by the modern states to overcome this crisis are given. The thesis that the possession of strategic resources at the crisis moments of history becomes the essential tool in the political, economic and military confrontation of powers is proved. The question of the politicization of the market of mineral resources is brought up, and the current examples of such phenomenon are given. In the article, the arguments that the management of strategic resources in the near future will become the monopoly of the state are adduced. This implies a sharp weakening of the private part in this domain/sphere as it is in the interest of survival of the state and populace. The problem of the global depletion of mineral resources which influences the management of strategic resources is considered. The statistical analysis of mineral wealth in Russia and in the world is provided. Institutional (cultural) arguments for the sharp weakening of market tools in the management of strategic resources are analysed. The genesis of the study of the mentality of Slavs, Muslims and Hindus is given, according to which the only private possession of natural resources would be impossible and inadmissible. In the article, the various options of the growth of the state influence on the strategic resources in the new economic policy developed in Russia are offered.
