The memoirs presented in Women of the Catacombs offer a rare
close-up account of the underground Orthodox community and its
priests during some of the most difficult years in Russian history.
The catacomb church in the Soviet Union came into existence in the
1920s and played a significant part in Russian national life for
nearly fifty years. Adherents to the Orthodox faith often referred
to the catacomb church as the "light shining in the dark." Women of
the Catacombs provides a first-hand portrait of lived religion in
its social, familial, and cultural setting during this tragic
period. Until now, scholars have had only brief, scattered
fragments of information about Russia's illegal church organization
that claimed to protect the purity of the Orthodox tradition. Vera
Iakovlevna Vasilevskaia and Elena Semenovna Men, who joined the
church as young women, offer evidence on how Russian Orthodoxy
remained a viable, alternative presence in Soviet society, when all
political, educational, and cultural institutions attempted to
indoctrinate Soviet citizens with an atheistic perspective. Wallace
L. Daniel's translation not only sheds light on Russia's religious
and political history, but also shows how two educated women
maintained their personal integrity in times when prevailing
political and social headwinds moved in an opposite direction.

Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business
economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: -,
Technical University of Berlin, language: English, abstract:
Strategic Foresight is a relatively young field of research.
Although, plenty of different definitions, recommended methods or
process approaches exist. Based on a literature review, this thesis
tries to systemize the literature to shed light onto the current
state of research. Strategic Foresight, as a part of the strategic
management, should be strongly related to one of the basic models
of strategic management. The targeted object will be building a
bridge to one of the most popular and practical models invented by
Porter. Still today, there are no approaches that combine Porter's
Five Forces with Strategic Foresight. In the literature, often the
impact of complexity and dynamics is discussed in regard to
Strategic Foresight, but a certain model to evaluate and measure
complexity does not exist yet. Neither organizational nor
environmental complexity has been included in current Strategic
Foresight literature. After analyzing, systemizing, defining, and
merging both models by dint of Strategic Foresight considerations,
the development of a complexity model will accomplish the attempt
to provide a holistic approach to measure complexity in regard to
Strategic Foresight for further research.
