THE 'INBETWEENERS’ IN THE BANKING UNION: INSIGHTS FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF ECB-CNB CLOSE COOPERATION by Marta Božina Beroš, Ivana Parać, Ivana Bajakić

“…Inbetweeners add to the complexity of BU governance, as close cooperation necessitates the ECB exercising bespoke supervisory powers, prompts the development of innovative regulatory and administrative solutions at Member State level to ensure the coexistence of different integration spheres, and demands institutional fine-tuning of national supervisors essential for reaping the benefits of SSM governance. In light of this, the paper examines the most significant changes to the CNB's institutional and legal framework, such as legislative and administrative amendments to empower its sanctioning role, the (ongoing) organizational overhaul in line with SSM's internal structure, and the CNB's institutional re-positioning within the national economic policy sphere in response to the narrowing of its monetary policy toolkit as a result of ERM II participation. …”

Antinomianism and Organic of Life. Review on the Monograph “Poetry of V. Shalamov: Ideological and Figurative Constants and Artistic Genealogy (Modernist Aspect)” by D.V. Krotova... by Alexander G. Kovalenko, Nadezhda M. Suzdalova

“…The review shows the methodology of the unity of synchrony and diachrony in the disclosure of the Shalamov phenomenon, reflected in the very structure of the work. So, if in the first part, a systematic analysis of the crucial motifs of the lyrics is proposed, then the second part examines the poet’s spiritual ties with his contemporaries, whose creative principles somehow found their refraction in the poetics of Shalamov. …”
