After the June 4th Incident, a large number of overseas Chinese students were granted political refuge almost unconditionally by foreign governments. The political instability had extended to Hong Kong as well, resulting in a massive emigration tide before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997. (See History of Hong Kong) It must be noted that the inflation characteristic of the years leading up to the Tiananmen protests has subsided. Political institutions have stabilized, thanks to the institutionalization of procedures of the Den ...

The ADA is notable because many disparate groups, many of which had never worked before, came together for a common purpose. In addition, other civil rights groups outside the disability community helped. The gay community in particular contributed a great deal, partially because they were interested in making sure that people with HIV or AIDS would be included in the legislation, just like others with chronic conditions such as epilepsy or cancer. Most supporters of the ADA welcomed these gay rights activists, partially because the gay rights lobby held considerable poli ...

In biology, apoptosis (from the Greek words apo = from and ptosis = falling, commonly pronounced ap-a-tow'-sis[1]) is one of the main types of programmed cell death (PCD). As such, it is a process of deliberate life relinquishment by an unwanted cell in a multicellular organism. In contrast to necrosis, which is a form of cell death that results from acute cellular injury, apoptosis is carried out in an ordered process that generally confers advantages during an organism's life cycle. For ...

It is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability.

The special effects of the show were often criticized and mocked as being sub-par, largely attributable to the small budget the show had access to. For instance, the extraterrestrial worlds often look like the countryside on the outskirts of London filmed through different coloured filters. The visual effects improved considerably in the 1990s series, although the Tomorrow People initially tend to have some difficulty with their teleportations and seem to frequently teleport to just above a swimming pool, or just off the beach of thei ...

During World War II, because of a growing Japanese threat over the Mongolian-Manchurian border, the Soviet Union reversed the course of Mongolian socialism in favor of a new policy of economic gradualism and buildup of the national defense. The Soviet-Mongolian army defeated Japanese forces that had invaded eastern Mongolia in the summer of 1939 at the Battle of Halhin Gol, and a truce was signed setting up a commissi ...

Choybalsan died in Moscow in 1952. He was succeded by Yumjaagiyn Tsedenbal, another Soviet loyalist. Following Nikita Kruschev's denounciation of the policies of Joseph Stalin, the Mongolian government did the same of Choybalsan in 1956. The personality cult of Choybalsan was condemned as were many of his hardline policies. Secure in its relations with Moscow, the Mongolian Government shifted to postwar development, focusing on civilian enterprise. International ties were expanded, and Mongolia established relations with North Korea a ...

Outer Mongolia was a Manchu outerland (1691-1911), an autonomous state under Russian protection (1912-1919), and again a Chinese province (1919-1921). As Manchu authority in China waned, and as Russia and Japan confronted each other, Russia gave arms and diplomatic support to nationalists among the Mongol religious leaders and nobles. The Mongols accepted Russian aid and proclaimed their independence of Chinese rule in 1911, shortly after a successful Chinese revolt against the Manchus. By agreements signed in 1913 and 1915, the Russian Gove ...

Between 1925 and 1928, the new regime became established. However, a considerable inter-party power struggle between pro-Soviet and independent minded factions took place. Peljidiyn Genden, an independent thinker and moderate communist, led Mongolia from 1932 to 1936. Genden scaled back the implementation of a command economy, refused permission for Soviet troops to be based in Mongolia, and refused an order from Stalin to "liquidate" Buddhist monks. In 1936, Horloogiyn Choybalsan became the leader of the MPRP and the government with Soviet ...

Volkspolizei - Foundation. The Volkspolizei was effectively founded just following World War II, when, in total violation of the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference, the Soviet Union established central police forces in the regions of Germany it occupied. The SVAG approved the arming of community-level police forces on October 31, 1945. The name Volkspolizei began to be used in 1946. In August of that year, the Volkspolizei was placed under the control of the German Administration of the Interior. The first Volkspolizisten were mostly former Wehrmacht ...

The Volkspolizei, as well as fulfilling traditional police duties such as investigation and traffic control, also worked closely with the Stasi and had their own network of informants that would crosscheck information gathered by Stasi informants, and vice versa. Unlike Western police forces, the Volkspolizei was administered and directly subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior. It was run like a second army, with c ...

To be a standard Volkspolizei officer, an East German needed to have at least a tenth grade education, have completed vocational training (see education in East Germany) and served in the army. A history of political loyalty and frequent attendance of communist meetings was also a must. After joining, a recruit would go through a 5-month course, mostly consisting of political indoctrination and legal theory. The recruit would then complete a 6-month practical internship. Those aspiring to be i ...

When the army and the Volkspolizei erected the Berlin Wall in 1961, it was declared by the East German leadership that it would protect East Germany against the negative elements of Western society, and help on the way to a crime-free "socialist paradise". Almost paradoxically, this partially came true. In comparison to West Germany, East Germany had almost no crime, though this was because the population lived in fear of the Stasi and the Volkspolizei, rather than any commitment to the socialist cause, but also because the government, in order to lower crime statistics, struck theft of personal pro ...
