This article examines the phenomenon of so-called "one-year seeds" — seeds that produce a crop only in the first generation and cannot be used for subsequent sowing. Based on an analysis of the history of Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT), known as "Terminator Technology," as well as F1 hybrid seeds currently available on the market, the article reconstructs the actual picture of which seeds truly require annual purchase and why. Particular attention is devoted to distinguishing myths from facts: no agricultural corporation in the world has commercialized genetically modified sterile seeds, yet F1 hybrid seeds, widely available on the market, are biologically unsuitable for seed saving. For Ukraine's agricultural sector, where farmers annually face a choice between the productivity of hybrids and the cost savings of traditional varieties, understanding these mechanisms holds special practical significance.

Ta članek preučuje hipotetični scenarij popolne jedrske vojne in ocenjuje potencial različnih držav, da preživijo v razmerah globalne katastrofe. Na podlagi analize znanstvenih raziskav in mnenj strokovnjakov so rekonstruirani ključni dejavniki, ki določajo zmožnost države in njenega prebivalstva, da vzdržita jedrski konflikt in posledično jedrsko zimo. Posebna pozornost je namenjena zaključkom raziskovalcev, da ima le omejeno število držav, predvsem tistih, ki se nahajajo v južni hemisferi, potrebne pogoje za ohranjanje kmetijske proizvodnje in socialne stabilnosti v postapokaliptičnem obdobju.

V tem članku se obravnava hipotetični scenarij popolnoma obsežne jedrske vojne in ocenjuje potencial različnih držav za preživetje v razmerah svetovne katastrofe. Na podlagi analize znanstvenih raziskav in strokovnih ocen so rekonstruirani ključni dejavniki, ki določajo sposobnost države in njenih prebivalcev, da preživijo jedrski konflikt in naslednjo jedrsko zimo. Posebna pozornost je namenjena ugotovitvam raziskovalcev, da ima le omejeno število držav, večinoma lociranih v Južni polobli, potrebne pogoje za ohranitev kmetijske proizvodnje in družbene stabilnosti v postapokaliptičnem obdobju.

This article examines the complex question of whether Russia could successfully capture Latvia, a NATO member state since 2004. Based on analysis of current intelligence assessments, military simulations, and geopolitical dynamics as of February 2026, the article reconstructs the multifaceted nature of the threat, ranging from hybrid warfare to conventional invasion scenarios.
