The terms “OAO Gazprom” and “the Company” refer to the parent company of Gazprom Group, i.e. Open Joint Stock Company Gazprom (excluding representative offices and service branches). 3 OAO GAZPROM | Sustainability Report | 2008–2009 Message from Alexey Miller, OAO Gazprom Management Committee Chairman For the first time in the corporate history Open Joint Stock Company Gazprom presents its Sustainability Report. Today Gazprom is a global energy company, the world’s largest natural gas producer and a leader of the Russian economy. Gazprom’s large-scale activities have an impact on the lives of millions of people. This fact predetermines both an immense responsibility of Gazprom and a considerable public interest in a variety of the Company’s development aspects that are sometimes beyond the scope of statutory reports. In this Report we have strived to provide a thorough insight into the principles we adhere to in the process of identifying our Company’s development ways. The long-lasting history of Gazprom shows that the strategy pursued by the Company is in line with the sustainable development model which has recently gained wide public recognition. We believe that the primary challenge in achieving sustainability is balanced and efficient use of production resources to the benefit of the present and future generations. The sustainable development benchmarks help us build the Company’s business in the context of the global efforts aimed at addressing such critical international problems as energy efficiency, emissions reduction and social progress acceleration. 4 OAO GAZPROM | Sustainability Report | 2008–2009 Message from Alexey Miller, OAO Gazprom Management Committee Chairman The comprehensive analysis of the economic, environmental and social indicators of Gazprom’s performance carried out during the preparation of this Report has confirmed that the Company adheres to the basic principles of sustainable development. Reliability. Gazprom’s status of a reliable blue fuel supplier combines a solid and fast-growing resource base, unrivalled technologies of gas production under harsh environmental and geological conditions, a potent and constantly developing gas transmission infrastructure, a well-established system of long- term contractual arrangements with partners. Rationality. Efficiently meeting current and future needs of consumers is our main driver in determining gas production volumes. This is the only approach to making balanced decisions on the order of priority for large-scale field development projects and their synchronization with gas transmission development. A reasonable approach to devising gasification schemes for Russian regions allows us to comprehensively take into account local geographic and demographic features as well as the specificity of regional fuel balances. Rational use of production resources by Gazprom is an explicit indicator of the Company’s efficiency and, ultimately, competitiveness. Resource conservation is therefore an integral element of the production processes and falls within our permanent focus of attention. Safety. The industry specificity predetermines stringent health, safety and environmental (HSE) requirements for Gazprom’s companies. The process safety management system introduced at OAO Gazprom’s facilities is based on international standards, and the extensive corporate standardization system sets safety requirements for all lifecycle stages of gas production, transmission, processing and utilization facilities. In 1995 Gazprom was one of the first Russian companies to develop a corporate Environmental Policy. The restated version of this document was endorsed in 2008. The Policy updates the environmental protection challenges and outlines additional obligations assumed for securing sustainable development. Social Responsibility. Having operations in over 80 constituents of the Russian Federation, we endeavor to ensure that the sustainable development of our business contributes to socioeconomic progress, a better environmental situation and greater prosperity of people in Russia’s regions. The large-scale social programs implemented by the Company are not an abstract “social burden” but indispensable investments in social stability which is a prerequisite for long-term business development. We look upon the publication of OAO Gazprom Sustainability Report as an important factor for enhancing the corporate governance structure, a good way of self-analysis and an efficient communicative tool. We look forward to receiving extensive feedback that will help us better understand what people expect from our Company’s performance.

    An Old Believer ―Holy Moscow‖ in Imperial Russia: Community and Identity in the History of the Rogozhskoe Cemetery Old Believers, 1771 - 1917 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctoral Degree of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peter Thomas De Simone, B.A., M.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas Breyfogle, Advisor David Hoffmann Robin Judd Predrag Matejic Copyright by Peter T. De Simone 2012 Abstract In the mid-seventeenth century Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow, introduced a number of reforms to bring the Russian Orthodox Church into ritualistic and liturgical conformity with the Greek Orthodox Church. However, Nikon‘s reforms met staunch resistance from a number of clergy, led by figures such as the archpriest Avvakum and Bishop Pavel of Kolomna, as well as large portions of the general Russian population. Nikon‘s critics rejected the reforms on two key principles: that conformity with the Greek Church corrupted Russian Orthodoxy‘s spiritual purity and negated Russia‘s historical and Christian destiny as the Third Rome – the final capital of all Christendom before the End Times. Developed in the early sixteenth century, what became the Third Rome Doctrine proclaimed that Muscovite Russia inherited the political and spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire as passed from Constantinople. In the mind of Nikon‘s critics, the Doctrine proclaimed that Constantinople fell in 1453 due to God‘s displeasure with the Greeks. Therefore, to Nikon‘s critics introducing Greek rituals and liturgical reform was to invite the same heresies that led to the Greeks‘ downfall.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.
