Much attention is paid at the economic and ideological factors as well as the integration concepts influencing the formation of the structure of the existing model of Politics of Place in Latin America.

Abstract: Color revolutions on the post-Soviet territory were successful due to the fact that the revolutionary opposition used masses to cast down the government. The purpose of this particular article is to show how public masses can become a weapon in revolutionists’ hands. So called ‘non-violent’ revolutions that happened in the republics of the former USSR resemble the Velvet revolutions in 1989. In particular, the communistic regime in some countries of the Eastern Europe was casted down with the help of numerous political meetings and demonstrations held by the opposition. There were mostly university and school students who participated in meetings and demonstrations. Due to their young age and absence of their own life experience, they could be easily manipulated. Moreover, so called youth political organizations also played a huge rule in revolutions. Leaders of Color Revolutions used the experience of their Velvet colleagues. Revolutionists used masses not only to cast down the government but also to legitimize the new government. Usual ‘palace revolution’ turned into people’s revolution. Mass media also played in important role in Color Revolution by deliberately falsifying information or spreading false but ‘sensational’ rumors for the purpose of manipulation of public opinions and attitudes. Therefore it can be concluded that people’s masses have also been one of the key instruments causing revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine and Kirgizia.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the determination and analysis of the tendencies of reformation of the local selfgovernment authorities at the stage of reformation of the Soviet system of government in the first half of 1990. Transitional nature of that stage defined the absence of a common conceptual model of local government reformation, restrictions of socio-economic and political conditions for its creation and development. Declarative character of legal provisions and lack of concrete mechanisms of their implementation created various models of local selfgovernment activity. Within the framework of the process of searching for an optimal model of self-government taking into account local traditions and historical and geographical features, local administration provided the population with an opportunity to independently form the local self-government authorities which became the prototype of the district self-government in Russia.
