Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) covers an extensive transpalaearctic range (Medvedev & Ryvkin 1992; Geisthardt & Sato 2007; Kazantsev 2010, 2011) with unclear boundaries of distribution on the periphery. The eastern sector of the range has been studied the least. Until recently, from the Amur region (within the borders of the Amurskaya oblast' and Khabarovskii krai of Russia) three points of collection of L. noctiluca were known. However, this which does not give a detailed idea of the range of the species in this region (Kazantsev 2010) (Fig. 1). Our research provided material from the basins of the Amur and Uda rivers, which significantly clarifies the northern boundary of distribution in the eastern sector of the range of Lampyris noctiluca. Lampyris noctiluca is also firstly recorded for the Heilongjiang province in China and the Evreiskaya avtonomnaya oblast' in Russia. Our results establish that Lampyris noctiluca is widely distributed in the Amur basin. The northeastern border of the range is located in the zone of the southern taiga in the upper reaches of the Zeya, Selemdzha and Bureya rivers. The northernmost point in the eastern part of the range is located in the basin of the Uda River (entry of Shevli River). Material examined: The material used in the work was collected by the authors at night on the light system and using air nets (males), as well as manually from surface ground and plants (females and larvae). Some specimens was donated by local collectors. Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767), Fig. 1. RUSSIA: Amurskaya oblast': Skovorodinskii district: Dzhalinda, 11.VII.2003, leg. V.G.

  • Revolution, War and Imperial Conflict in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe Yuexin Rachel Lin
    “We Are on the Brink of Disaster”: Revolution, War and Imperial Conflict in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe Yuexin Rachel Lin When Russian imperial power extended to the Amur in the mid-19th Century, Blagoveshchensk- Heihe became one of the foremost sites of imperial competition. The proximity of the Chinese and Russian cities, within sight of each other across the Amur River, engendered both connection and conflict, while the strategic waterway attracted Japanese trade. Some of the starkest manifesta- tions of Sino-Russian conflict had erupted there, including the 1858 Treaty of Aigun and the 1900 massacre of Chinese during the Boxer Rebellion. Control over Chinese migration became a peren- nial problem - which led to the deeply-resented river-crossing permit regime - and Japanese inter- est in commerce and shipping challenged both Russian and Chinese interests. Historical memories of such conflict persisted even as the Qing and tsarist regimes collapsed. They were brought to the fore by the arrival of the 1917 Russian Revolution, when the collapse of Russian state power offered the opportunity to recover past losses. This paper examines the vio- lence of the revolutionary and Civil War period in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe from the perspective of the Chinese community in both cities. It focuses on key economic and political actors — diaspora leaders and border officials — who formed self-defence organisations, appealed for greater military and diplomatic presence in Russian territory, and warned of Japanese opportunism on the Amur. In so doing, they appealed to emotive “moments” in Sino-Russian historical memory, particularly the Aigun Treaty and the Blagoveshchensk massacre. Therefore, this paper argues that the revolu- tionary upheavals in Russia fed into long-term discourses of Sino-Russian conflict, and that shared historical memories enabled disparate groups to take part in revisionist activism.

  • 10. Social Impact Assessment
    Social impact assessment 10-1 10. SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 10.1 Project social area of influence In line with PS1, the assessment of social impacts is carried out over the PSAoI. This PSAoI is defined to include certain areas and communities, where both positive and negative direct social impacts are going to be perceptible in the various phases of the Project. Based on the Project description, and particularly the location and delineation of facilities, and on potential impacts of the various components, the PSAoI includes the following areas and communities: Within the territory of Svobodnensky District, the territory of the following three adjacent Village Councils (‘selsovet’): o Dmitrievka, within which the settlements of Dmitrievka, Ust-Pera , Yukhta and Yukhta 3 are part of the PSAoI; o Zheltoyarovo, within which the settlement of Chernigovka is part of the PSAoI; o Nizhny Buzuli, which includes land that is affected by the Project but no close-by settlement. The town of Svobodny. 10.2 Overview of impacts Based on the preliminary assessment of potential social impacts conducted at scoping stage and on the outcome of further baseline studies, the identification and assessment of social impacts is presented in the following table. Associated impact management measures are presented in further detail in sections 10.5 (in overview) and 10.6 (in further detail). 10.3 Assessment of positive social impacts Positive impacts (see impacts A1 to A5 in Table below) are related to the economic benefits that the Project will bring to the communities of the PSAOI, which are currently economically depressed and in need of economic development, as shown by the baseline studies.

This study aimed to develop environmental flow recommendations for the Zeya and Bureya rivers based on past flow rate records. The recommended floodplain inundation by environmental flow releases from the Zeya reservoir are currently impracticable due to technical reasons. Therefore, the importance of preserving the free-flowing tributaries of the Zeya River increases. Future technical improvements for implementing environmental flow releases at the Zeya dam would improve dam management regulation during large floods. The recommendations developed for environmental flow releases from reservoirs on the Bureya River should help to preserve the important Ramsar wetlands which provide habitats for endangered bird species while avoiding flooding of settlements.

    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.
