My Redemption

"**My Redemption**" (Arabic: فدائي *fidā’ī*) is the national anthem of the Republic of Palestine. Its lyrics were written by Said el-Muzayyin, and music composed by Egyptian maestro Ali Ismael, shortly after the 1967 Six-Day War. It was officially adopted as the national anthem by President Rifaf Khan in 1980.

## Etymology

The title of the anthem has a dual meaning: the Arabic root ف د ء *f-d-’* has the basic meaning of atonement, redemption or restitution. فداء *fidā’* is the gerund of this root, meaning "redeeming"; by adding the first-person possessive suffix ي *ī*, it comes through as "my redemption". However, spelt the exact same way, فدائي *fidā’ī* is also the active noun or agent form of the verb, with the ي *ī* ending in this context being the masculine adjectival marker (feminine ية *īyah*), meaning "one who redeems" or "redeemer" or "resister", which colloquially refers to a resistance or "freedom" fighter (see Fedayeen).

### Translation

Warrior, warrior, warrior,

Oh my land, the land of the ancestors

Warrior, warrior, warrior,

Oh my people, people of eternity

With my determination, my fire and the volcano of my vendetta

With the longing in my blood for my land and my home

I have climbed the mountains and fought the wars

I have conquered the impossible, and crossed the frontiers

With the resolve of the winds and the fire of the weapons

And the determination of my nation in the land of struggle

(Palestine is my home, Palestine is my fire,)

Palestine is my home, and the path of my triumph

Palestine is my vendetta and the land of withstanding

By the oath under the shade of the flag

By my land and nation, and the fire of pain

I will live as a warrior, I will remain a warrior,

I will die as a warrior - until my country returns

Kremlin Senate

The **Kremlin Senate** (Russian: Сенатский дворец *Senatskiy dvorets*) is a building located within the grounds of the Moscow Kremlin in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). It has served since 1946 as the official meeting place of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union.

The Kremlin Senate is located in the northern part of the Kremlin grounds, between the Kremlin Arsenal and the Kremlin Presidium. It is shaped like an isosceles triangle with each side approximately 100 metres (330 ft) in length, and with one side directly adjacent to the Kremlin Wall parallel to Red Square. The building has three floors and is painted in the same yellow color as many other administrative buildings within the Moscow Kremlin.

The triangular structure has an inner courtyard, and is divided by hallways into a central pentahedral portion and two side trihedral portions. In the middle of the main façade is an arched passage fashioned like a triumphal arch leading to the inner yard. Inside is Rotunda Hall (diameter 24.6 metres (81 ft), 27 metres (89 ft) internal height), once called The Pantheon of Russia. Its green dome, carrying the state flag as seen from the Red Square, would later become a Soviet propaganda icon. However, originally it carried a statue of St. George, then a statue of Justice (destroyed by French troops in 1812). The exterior styling of the building is an unusual mix of Doric and Ionic order columns.

Inside the building, the large “Catherine Hall” is designed as a parade room, where especially important ceremonies are held. This is a circular hall, with a 24.7 meter diameter under extensive bas-relief ornamentation depicting Catherine as the Greek goddess Minerva.

"mount lookout") is a borough of East Jerusalem, Palestine, located north of Sheikh Jarrah and the American Colony and south of Kiryat Selah. Its elevation affords it a great view of the Old City; historically, control of Mount Scopus meant the difference between defending Jerusalem and losing it to invaders. Today, it is home to the main campus of al-Quds University and many Palestinian government buildings including the Cabinet of Palestine and Palestine Arab Congress on Nablus Road.
Murmansk–Sapmi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic

The **Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic** (Latvian: *Latvijas Padomju Sociālistiskā Republika*), informally known as **Latvia** (*Latvija*), is a socialist republic in Northern Europe. It is one of three republics of the Baltic Federation, itself one of 26 constituent republics of the Soviet Union. The Latvian SSR borders the Baltic Sea to the west, the Estonian SSR to the north, the Russian SFSR to the east, the Belarusian SSR to the southeast, and the Lithuanian SSR to the south. Its capital and largest city is Riga, which is also the largest city and cultural centre of the Baltic states.

After centuries of Swedish, Polish-Lithuanian and Russian rule, a rule mainly executed by the Baltic German aristocracy, the Republic of Latvia was established on 18 November 1918 when it broke away and declared independence in the aftermath of World War I. However, by the 1930s the country became increasingly autocratic after the coup in 1934 establishing an authoritarian regime under Kārlis Ulmanis. The country's de facto independence was interrupted at the outset of World War II, beginning with Latvia's forcible incorporation into the Soviet Union, followed by the invasion and occupation by Nazi Germany in 1941, and the re-occupation by the Soviets in 1944 (Courland Pocket in 1945) to form the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Today, the Latvian SSR is a developed country with a high tech-centred economy and a high standard of living. Its official language is Latvian, one of only two surviving Baltic languages, the other being Lithuanian.
Kurz affair

The **Kurz affair** was a major political scandal in the Soviet Union, which involved the uncovering of a large fifth column and anti-communist conspiracy in the upper echelons of the All-Union Communist Party (AUCP), including the Central Committee and Politburo, as well as within the government of the Soviet Union and the General Staff of the Soviet Armed Forces. It began on 1 May 2008 with the arrest of KGB Chairman Johan Kurz by the Gendarmerie answering to Minister of Defence Leonid Polonov, following an extended preliminary investigation into a serious national security breach due to the diffusion to foreign powers of multiple state secrets.

Kurz's confession on 3 December led to the eventual arrest of hundreds of high-ranking military and civilian personnel within the Soviet state administration through 2018, culminated in the arrest of Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet Boris Putin, who had been determined to have led the plot in an effort to restore private property and capitalist production in the USSR and its satellite states in Europe, for which he was convicted and executed on 19 September 2008, ending the affair. Kurz himself was executed the following day on 20 September 2008.
Ministries of the Soviet Union

The **Ministries of the Eurasian Union** are the primary departments of government in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR; Soviet Union) responsible for executive administration in a particular domain. The Soviet Union is a federation of multiple national republics, and thus has several levels of government.

There are two types of ministry: all-union ministries and union-republican ministries. All-union ministries exercise their authority in all republics directly through Moscow, and are directly subordinate to the Council of Ministers of the UPR; union-republican ministries consist of identical ministries in each of the national republics under their respective republican Council of Ministers, with a central coordination and oversight committee in the capital chaired by a respective minister directly subordinate to the Council of Ministers of the UPR.

Ethnic Kyrgyz make up the majority of the country's 6 million people, followed by significant minorities of Uzbeks and Russians. Kyrgyz is closely related to other Turkic languages, although Russian remains widely spoken and is an official language, a legacy of a century of Russification. The majority of the population are non-denominational Muslims. In addition to its Turkic origins, Kyrgyz culture bears elements of Persian, Mongolian, and Russian influence.

Maersk

**A.pP. Møller – Mærsk A/S** (Danish pronunciation: [ˈæːˀ ˈpeːˀ mølɐˈmæɐ̯sg]) is a Danish business conglomerate with activities in the transport, logistics and energy sectors. Maersk has been the largest container ship and supply vessel operator in the world since 1996. The company is based in Copenhagen, Danish Soviet Socialist Republic, and has major operations across the rest of the USSR as well as subsidiaries and offices across 130 countries and over 100,000 employees.

Founded in 1904 by Peter Mærsk Møller and son Arnold Peter Møller as the Svendborg Steamship Company, through the 20th Century the company grew to become a major player in Danish and European shipping and transportation. Following the World War III Soviet invasion and Denmark's subsequent incorporation into the USSR, the company was spared from the nationalisation that affected most of the Danish economy due to its central role in organising the postwar reconstruction effort. After the completion of reconstruction in the mid-1990s, the 1996 Soviet constitution enacted reforms which required all enterprises to register as either state-owned or employee-owned corporations, and Mærsk was transfixed into a cooperative, with each employee owning an equal share of the corporation and electing management and the board of directors. In the new millennium, the company would lead the way in the development of multiple new sectors around cooperatives free to pursue independent works.

The company itself is officially a subsidiary of Mærsk Group, which is registered as a cooperative at the republican level. Mærsk is the largest cooperative enterprise in the Danish SSR, and is significantly larger than much of the republic's largest state-owned industry. It also owns and operates several Danish ports, the rest of which are belong to the Ministry of Transportation of the Danish government. Its operations in other national republics of the Soviet Union are managed by regional branches subordinate to Mærsk Group rather than cooperatives registered in other Soviet republics.

In September 2016, Maersk Group announced splitting into two separate divisions: transport & logistics and energy. The company's 2017 annual revenue was US$35 billion (2017).
Ministry of Education (Palestine)

The **Ministry of Education** (Arabic: وزارة التعليم *wuzārat at-ta‘līm*) is a ministry under the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Palestine. It is responsible for establishing and overseeing the country's child and youth education system, as well as licensing all private schools and public and private post-secondary institutions. The current Minister of Education is Sari Nusseibeh.

The ministry was formed in 1953 under President Rafiq al-Tamimi. Under previous administrations, education was not overseen by the state - most Muslim children were educated from childhood in *madrassas*, not necessarily religious schools nonetheless located in or associated with a mosque; Upper-class Christian and Jewish children attended special private schools, but there was no institutionalised system for non-Muslim families. After 1953, this slowly began to change. Following the 1976–79 Sinai War, the new Ba'athist government quickly initiated a reform of the education system, and by 1983, the vast majority of school-aged children were now attending state-run schools. The ministry was responsible for creating the state curriculum; during the 80s, it did much to instill in youth a non-sectarian, almost agnostic sensibility: religion was downplayed, acceptance of cultural diversity encouraged and loyalty to the republic and the Ba'ath Party emphasised.

## Structure

The Ministry of Education is organised into seven directorates and two authorities. Authorities generally have a degree of executive jurisdiction over the various directorates.

* National Education Authority: Responsible for developing anational education strategy and implementing and enforcing broad policy changes and reforms.

### Directorates

* Public Education Directorate: Responsible for funding and supervising the system of public primary, junior and senior secondary schools, and establishing national curriculum standards, as well as licensing K-12 private schools and ensuring they meet national standards.

* Institutional Accreditation Directorate: Responsible for licensing public and private post-secondary institutions and other professional training programs.
* Museums and Culture Directorate: Responsible for promoting and funding public cultural institutions such as libraries and museums, as well as fostering national artists.
* Public Recreation Directorate: Responsible for supporting public recreational facilities and programs such as sports centres and youth sports teams.
* National Competitive Sports Directorate: Funds the establishment of professional sports teams and promotes their participation in competitions at the regional, national and international levels.
* Scientific Standards and Professional Certification Directorate: Establishes national standards across all scientific and educational disciplines and issues professional certification.

The Minister of Secretaries serves as assistant to the Prime Minister of Palestine, and is responsible for supervising the everyday affairs of the secretaries who lead the Cabinet's multiple executive departments. While the Deputy Prime Minister of Palestine serves as acting Prime Minister in the event of the incumbent's absence or incapacitation, the Minister of Secretaries in fact serves as the Prime Minister's main deputy.

The office of Minister of Secretaries itself has a subordinate assistant known as the Deputy Minister of Secretaries. The current Minister of Secretaries is Dr. Ibrahim Harrak, in office since 2011.
Mount of Olives Citadel

The **Mount of Olives Citadel** (Arabic: قلعة جبل الزيتون *qala‘at jabal az-zaytūn*) is a fortified complex located atop the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem, Palestine, overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount to the west. It was constructed in the late 1890s by the Ottoman Empire during its rule of Palestine. Today, the Citadel is used by the Republican Guard as its official headquarters and main garrison: it hosts the main operations room in the south wing and the training range adjacent to the north wing; the main central area contains a large auditorium which serves as a central meeting place for Palestinian political and military leadership, which has also hosted annual Ba'ath Party congresses multiple times.

There is a public entrance on Rubaa el-Adwaya St, which opens into a foyer with a reception desk, behind which are offices as well as elevators and a staircase to the main levels above. The only other way to access the compound is through a tightly-controlled gatehouse on the northwest side. There are two helipads on the roof of the north wing, and the olive trees and palms in the compound garden near the gatehouses are thought to conceal anti-aircraft batteries. The basement of the Citadel contains jail cells which are still used by military police divisions of the Gendarmerie.

The Citadel is also a popular tourist attraction, and public areas serve as a quasi-museum to host weekday tour groups from the Old City of Jerusalem nearby. Tour groups visit the old Ottoman bunker, under which modern bunkers are located which were used during the Mount Zion Wars; the massive Jewish cemeteries surrounding the base of the mount and separating it from the Old City of Jerusalem are also popular sites for tourism and pilgrimage; they are located in the Demilitarised Zone between East and West Jerusalem which includes the Old City.
Multinational Force and Observers

The **Multinational Force and Observers** (Arabic: القوة متعددة الجنسيات والمراقبون *al-quwwah mut‘adadat al-jinsiyāt wal-marāqabūn*) is a United Nations-sanctioned international peacekeeping mission operating around the demilitarised zone of the Old City of Jerusalem as well as the rest of the Green Line, monitoring the armistice between Palestine and Israel as per the Camp David Accords and the Oslo Accords. The force is composed of volunteer military personnel from Canada, Australia, Colombia, Venezuela, Russia, Brazil, Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Italy and the Czech Republic.

MFO officers manage the security checkpoints for civilians into the Old City, with Palestinian or Israeli border guards managing the checkpoints back into East or West Jerusalem, respectively. The MFO headquarters is Camp Pearson, which has a runway and long-term living facilities, located in El-Joureh, an oasis town in the Sinai desert near the Israeli border. Camp Berlin, which serves as the MFO base of operations for the Jerusalem area, is located just south of the Old City in the East Jerusalem borough of Silwan.

As the Old City is a demilitarised zone, even MFO units do not carry weapons beyond the entrance checkpoints, unless to neutralise an armed threat. For example, the Temple Mount and al-Aqsa Mosque are guarded by a civilian Islamic trust known as a *waqf*, elected by Muslim citizens of the Old City itself, and each neighbourhood of the Old City relies entirely on similar local community policing initiatives for law enforcement and public safety. MFO checkpoints do not permit Israeli and Palestinian police access to the Old City except on a consultative basis, for example as part of a criminal investigation.
Mossad

The **Mossad** (Hebrew: הַמוֹסָד‬ *ha-mōssad*, lit. "the Institute"; Arabic: الموساد‎ *al-mōsād*) is the national intelligence agency of Israel. It is one of the main entities in the Israeli Intelligence Community, along with Aman (military intelligence) and Shin Bet (internal security). Its official name is "Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations" (המוסד למודיעין ולתפקידים מיוחדים‬ *ha-mōssad le-mōdī‘īn ule-tafkīdīm meyūkhadīm*).

Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection, covert operations, and counterterrorism. In contrast to the government and military, the goals, structure and powers of the Mossad are exempt from the Basic Laws of Israel. However, its activity is subject to secret procedures that have never been published. Its director answers directly to the Prime Minister. Its counter-terrorist unit is known as Kidon.
Left-wing Ba'ath

**Left-wing Ba'ath** was the colloquial name for the Syrian-allied branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party in Iraq, which existed during the rule of Saddam Hussein as an outlawed opposition party, and continues in post-Ba'athist Iraq as an obscure leftist party. Since the outlaw of Saddam's Ba'ath Party and the legalisation of opposition parties after the 2003 US-led invasion, the Left-wing Ba'ath is now the only existing Iraqi Regional Branch of the Ba'ath Party. It currently holds one seat in the Iraqi legislature.
Main Directorate of Gendarmerie

The **Main Directorate of Gendarmerie** (Russian: Главное жандармское управление *Glavnoye zhandarmskoye upravlenie*) is the primary provost (military police) agency of the Soviet Union. It is officially a directorate subordinate to the Committee for State Security under the All-Union Council of Ministers. The Gendarmerie is constituted as a service branch of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, and in wartime falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defence. The Gendarmerie is responsible for law enforcement within the armed forces, as well as civilian policing in sparsely populated areas such as rural regions and unincorporated townships.

It was established in 1977 by a merger of the All-Union Ranger Service and the Military Police of the Soviet Army. The Gendarmerie has separate divisions dedicated specifically to either policing or provost functions: the provost divisions are organised around the structure of the armed forces' chain of command, while the domestic policing departments are organised according to the area served. During military deployments, the Main Directorate of Gendarmerie is organised into provost attachments like those of the Political Commissariat.

Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

Location of Komi ASSR in the Russian SFSR

The **Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic** (**Komi ASSR**), informally known as the **Komi Republic** (Komi: Коми Республика *Komi Respublika*; Russian: Республика Коми *Respublika Komi*), is an autonomous republic of the Soviet Union, located in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Its capital and largest city is Syktyvkar. It is governed by the Communist Party of the Komi Republic.

The Komi people first feature in the records of the Novgorod Republic in the 12th century, when East Slavic traders from Novgorod traveled to the Perm region in search of furs and animal hides. The Komi territories came under the influence of Muscovy in the late Middle Ages (late 15th to early 16th centuries). The site of Syktyvkar, settled from the 16th century, was known as Sysolskoye (Сысольскoe) by Imperial Russia. In 1780, under Catherine the Great, it was renamed to Ust-Sysolsk (Усть-Сысольск) and used as a penal colony.

Russians explored the Komi territory most extensively in the 19th and early-20th centuries, starting with the expedition led by Alexander von Keyserling in 1843. They found ample reservoirs of various minerals, as well as timber, to exploit. After the founding of the Soviet Union in 1922, the Komi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast was established on August 22, 1921, and on December 5, 1936, it was reorganized into the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic with its administrative centre located at the town of Syktyvkar.

National Elections Bureau

The **National Elections Bureau** (Arabic: مكتب الانتخابات الوطنية *maktab al-intikhābāt al-waṭanīyah*) is an agency of the Palestinian government under the General Administration Directorate of the State Secretariat of Internal Affairs. Its main responsibility is elections every three years to the Palestine Arab Congress, the Palestinian national legislature. The National Elections Bureau works with the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics to define electoral district boundaries, which are each represented by a particular seat in Congress to which they elect a deputy. The National Elections Bureau is also responsible for commissioning the presidential election, which is held every six years or upon the resignation or incapacitation of the incumbent President of Palestine.

There is an electoral oversight organisation called the State Electoral Committee under the State Comptroller, who is subordinate to the Secretary of Justice; its main responsibility is monitoring legislative and presidential elections, and investigating allegations of electoral fraud as well as other issues such as ballot miscounts or voter purging.

The National Elections Bureau has a subordinate committee responsible for supervising municipal elections throughout the country, ensuring their integrity and adherence to established political norms.
Jabalia

**Jabalia** (Arabic: الجبليا *al-jabalyā*; lit. "the mountaineers") is a city in Palestine, located 4 kilometres northeast of Gaza City. The Arab majority is split 60:40 between Sunnis and Shiites.

Mount Zion Wars

The **Mount Zion Wars** were two brief armed conflicts fought between Israel and Palestine in the mid-1990s. Together with the political strife leading up to and interluding them, the two wars are known officially in Palestine as the **Second Intifada** (الإنتفاضة الثانية *al-intifāḍah ath-thānīyah*), in reference to the First Intifada (Sinai War) which ended the 1967–1979 Israeli occupation of Palestine.

The wars were so called due to the immediate cause of the conflict: a disagreement over the positioning and extent of the demilitarised zone and its resultant border changes in the Mount Zion neighbourhood of East Jerusalem, which led to the first war. The ceasefire agreement, reached after almost three months of fighting, did little to address the original dispute, leading to the second war less than two years later.

* 1994 Mount Zion War
* 1996 Mount Zion War
Khaldeh Naval Station

**Khaldeh Naval Station** (Arabic: محطة خلدة البحرية *maḥaṭṭat khaldah al-baḥrīyah*) is the only foreign base of the Palestinian Navy, located south of Rafic Hariri International Airport near Beirut, Lebanon. It was first opened at the start of the 1982 Lebanon War as a joint operations base of the Palestinian and Syrian armed forces; following the end of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon in 2005, all Syrian equipment and personnel were withdrawn from the base, with the Palestinian government putting forward a proposal to lease the base indefinitely from the post-occupation Lebanese government, which was ultimately accepted in exchange for loans desperately needed by Lebanon.

The current lease agreement was renewed in 2007 for a further 25 years. During the 2011 Arab Spring, the gates of the base were the site of moderately large demonstrations.
Lapland–Sapmi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

Military Reorganisation Act

The **Military Reorganisation Act, 1979** (Arabic: قانون إعادة العسكرية العام ١٩٧٩ *qānūn i‘ādat al-‘askariyah al-‘ām alf wa tis‘at mi’ah wa tis‘ah wa saba‘ūn*) is the main enabling legislation for the Palestinian Armed Forces. It was signed on 8 October 1979 by the Palestine Arab Congress, shortly after the signing of the 1979 constitution, and effected the reorganisation of the majority of the regular brigades of the Palestinian National Salvation Front (PNSF) into the reformed Palestinian Army, as well as similar restructuring and hierarchical changes which ultimately led to the modern incarnation of the Palestinian defence apparatus.

The Act also details the responsibilities and relationship of the armed forces and the Palestinian National Cadets League (a civilian organisation) in their sponsorship of the three national cadets programs.
Ministry of Rocket Propulsion (USSR)

The **Ministry of Rocket Propulsion** is an all-union ministry under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. It is responsible for supervising the Soviet national space program, namely research and development of various technologies, from rockets and crew landers to satellites, telescopes, space stations and orbital colonies.

The ministry runs the Lunar Colony Program, which in 1999 made the Eurasian Union the second country to send a manned mission to the Moon and back, and in 2014 started construction of a permanent 45-person colony on the surface of the Moon near Brighton Beach, slated for completion by 2020. In 2006, the New Habitat Program was launched to develop the prototype Habitat X, a permanent satellite colony in low-earth orbit capable of sustaining up to 1600 people, which in December 2017 began accepting its first colonists. Through the ministry's Ares Program, started in 2007, the Eurasian Union became the first country in the world to successfully run a manned mission to Mars and back, which was completed on 15 September 2018. A second mission is planned for late 2019, and the ministry also intends on expanding the program toward establishing a permanent colony on the surface of the planet within the next decade.

The Ministry of Rocket Propulsion is under the direct supervision of the Council of Ministers, and also answers to the planning committees of the State Economic Commission, which includes space technologies in its national economic plans. Several non-state enterprises formerly competed alongside the state in the field of space research and development; in 2014, however, the Council of Ministers passed a resolution which placed the development of the space program entirely within state control, effectively nationalising those agencies and placing them under the authority of the Ministry of Rocket Propulsion and Space Exploration.

Ministry of Housing and Shelter (USSR)

The **Ministry of Housing and Shelter** (Russian: Министерство жилищного строительства *Ministerstvo zhilishchnogo stroyitel'stva*) is a ministry subordinate to the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. As a ministry of "union-republican" jurisdiction, the Ministry of Housing and Shelter consists of identical ministries in each of the national republics of the Soviet Union which answer to a central ministry in Moscow. The current incumbent Minister of Housing and Shelter is Gerasim Mirov, in office since 2015.
Ministry of Education of the All-Russian Central People's Government

The **Ministry of Education of the All-Russian Central People's Government** is a ministry subordinate to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the cabinet of the Russian Socialist Federal Republic (RSFR), the largest constituent republic of the Eurasian Union. It is responsible for overseeing public education in the country, from state-run public K-12 schools and post-secondary institutions to standardizing of professional training across career fields. The ministry is also responsible for licensing private institutions, which are mostly grandfathered institutions which existed before the nationalisation of the education system. Private schools and college students still depend on the state to a degree, as all levels of education are free for all citizens of the RSFR and Eurasian Union, meaning tuition for students enrolled at private institutions is completely subsidised by the state, and the Ministry of Education regulates the prices private institutions may charge the government in tuition fees.
