st: How to interpret results from gllamm

[Jurijs Ņikišins <jurijs.nikisins@lu.lv>]

Hello,
I'm a newcomer to both Stata and multilevel analysis and I have some general understanding of theory but implementing it in practice is a real challenge for me so far, so I'd be really grateful for help on interpreting results I get from gllamm.
Using the European Social Survey 25-country dataset, I'm studying the relationship between dichotomous outcome variable demonstration_rec (whether a person took part in a demonstration last year)
and the following independent vars: gender, education, index of attitudes to gender, cultural and income equality (resp. geq_mean, ceq_mean, ieq_mean) and 4-rank democratic history variable new_demhist denoting period that a country has been a stable democracy.
I treat new_demhist as a country-level variable, allowing it to vary at a country level (i.e. trying to build a random-coefficient model):

gllamm demonstration_rec Gender_rec Education_rec geq_mean ceq_mean ieq_mean i.new_demhist, family(binomial) link(logit) i(country_rec) nrf(2) eqs(cntry_cons cntry_democr) nip(8)
i.new_demhist     _Inew_demhi_1-4     (naturally coded; _Inew_demhi_1 omitted)

 Variances and covariances of random effects
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***level 2 (country_rec)
     var(1): .20405822 (.10364398)
    cov(2,1): .00757171 (.01157615) cor(2,1): .03609139
     var(2): .21568821 (.02322925)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My questions are:

1) How actually should I interpret var(1) and var(2)? Are they individual- and country-level variance, or variances of intercept and slope? 
2) How do I interpret individual-level coefficients together with level 2 variances and covariances?

Thanks a lot in advance,
