In the empirical part, the European Values Study and World Values Survey in Belarus are used, in addition to original data based on the survey of >3,000 last-year undergraduate students of Belarus State University (2012-2014).

However, this statement is not precisely correct, as part of the population in these countries belongs to many different Churches, while a large part has rather eclectic religious and para-religious beliefs. In the case of Belarus, a major part of the population belongs to two Christian confessions, Orthodox and Catholic, while many other confessions and new religious movements also exist. Religious pluralism is a practical reality in Belarus which has the reputation of the most religiously tolerant post-Soviet country. Contemporary laws provide the legal basis for the tolerant relations in the country, and there is a historical tradition of religious tolerance in Belarus. Research data from the EVS studies and national surveys are used.

An assumed benefit of the international on-line classroom is its potential as an effective forum for democratic dialogue in a globally networked learning (GNL) environment. Democratic dialogue in this context has several meanings. First, for professors, it is a mode of teaching in an international distance-learning class where constant interaction of students is a condition of student success and one of the explicit objectives of the class. Second, for students, it is a method of learning about the topics presented in the course and other societies through learner-centered participation in Student-Led Discussions (SLDs). Third, it employs technology to enhance intercultural learning that is both broadly spontaneous and topical...

In order to understand the city's present it is necessary to consider the radical changes it underwent in the 20th century, including almost a total destruction, radical change in ethnic structure, rapid after-war spatial expansion and, lately, the intensive symbolic production as a post-Soviet capital. To identify the characteristic features of Minsk through the sociological lens, cultural theory as well as historical reconstruction and cross- ...
