It was successfully accomplished due to gene- rous contribution of a number of people to whom I desire to give my sincere gratitude. First and foremost I thank God for the strengths, energy, and wit I obtained during the entire dissertation writing. This Thesis would not have been possible to achieve without the indispensable people and the right time I encountered throughout the Agroholdings project. I would like to express my deepest acknowledgments to my Thesis supervisors Prof. Dr. Hockmann and Dr. Wandel as it is due to their endeavors that the Agroholdings project was accepted by the German Research Foundation. Prof. Dr. Hockmann provided critical quantitative support imperative for the econometric scrutiny parts of the Dissertation. Dr. Wandel predominantly contributed to improving the qualitative sections of the dissertation, especially in terms of the Agroholdings’ developmental retrospect and the critical Ger- man-Russian project partners. Furthermore, I am deeply grateful to my disser- tation co-reviewers Dr. Meier of Robert Morris University and Prof. Dr. Petrick of IAMO for providing extremely valuable editing, professional and scientific agricultural remarks. I am grateful Dr. Perekhozhuk and Prof. Dr. Glauben which contributed to my initial stay in Germany by inviting to write a mutual paper, ultimately, turning out to my conducting the Ph.D. here at IAMO. I am very thankful to Prof. Dr. Ushachev and Dr. Kolesnikov of Russian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Dr. Yakovlev of Higher School of Economics, Dr. Rylko of the Institute of Agricultural Market Studies, and Prof. Dr. Uzun and Dr. Saraykin of Russian Institute of Agrarian Problems and Informatics for the tremendous sup- port I obtained while conducting field-work in Moscow, Russia, as well as in Ger- many. Their support facilitated a comprehensive ownership structure investi- gation, interviews with Senior Executives of Russia’s Agroholdings, and access to farm-level empirical data vital for the discovery of the largest agricultural busi- ness groups of Russian Federation and their subsequent ownership-performan- ce analysis. ii Acknowledgements My earnest appreciation goes to my international coworkers at IAMO both at collegial and personal levels with whom I spent some of the greatest years of my life. I wish to say thanks to Diana Grigoreva, Ivan Djuric, Diana Traikova, Konstantin Hahlbrock, Marina Hahlbrock, Omar E. Baqueiro, Ilkay U. Gailhard, Giorgi Chezhia, Lili Jia, Johanness Findeis, Katharina Vantomme, Tim Illner, Maria Belyaeva, Nizami Imamverdiyev, Gulmira Gafarova, Aaron Grau, Lena Kuhn, Brett Hankerson, Viola Bruschi, Yanjie Zhang, Miranda Svanidze, and Nodir Djani- bekov. Finally, I would like to immensely thank my parents Oksana Pidruchna and Yuriy Matyukha and my grandparents Halyna and Volodymyr Pidruchniy, Vira and Volodimir Matyukha by dedicating this monograph to them. Thank you for your education, making me who I am now, and the everyday encouragement that kept me motivated all along.

ZooKeys 1004: 129–139. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1004.57359 Abstract A list of 40 species is presented of the rodents and insectivores collected during a 15-year period from the Republic of Mordovia. The dataset contains more than 24,000 records of rodent and insectivore species from 23 districts, including Saransk. A major part of the data set was obtained during expedition research and at the biological station. The work is based on the materials of our surveys of rodents and insectivo- rous mammals conducted in Mordovia using both trap lines and pitfall arrays using traditional methods. Keywords Insectivores, Mordovia, rodents, spatial distribution Introduction There is a need to review the species composition of rodents and insectivores in all regions of Russia, and the work by Tovpinets et al. (2020) on the Crimean Peninsula serves as an example of such research. Studies of rodent and insectivore diversity and distribution have a long history, but there are no lists for many regions of Russia of Copyright A.V.

Cover: June 4, 2013, Spartak, Ukraine: June 2021 Unexploded ordnances in Eastern Ukraine continue to cause harm to civilians. T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.

This project, on the other hand, seeks to establish an alternative understanding of the ways in which nationality has played out both as a Russian tactic to unite disparate and diverse territories, and as a mode by which some ethnic minorities in Russian-ruled spaces have been able to secure relative autonomy. The Republic of Tatarstan, located in the Volga River basin, has achieved unprecedented levels of autonomy while existing as a contingent part of the USSR, and now the Russian Federation. Comparisons have been drawn between Tatarstan and Chechnya in regards to the political, economic, and cultural autonomy they exercise on their respective territories; however, while their autonomy may be comparable, their respective relationships with the Russian central governments are not.

We reckon among political prisoners individuals who are being persecuted in connection with the realisation of their legitimate rights as well as those who are being unlawfully or disproportionately persecuted by the authorities for political reasons. We do not regard as political prisoners those individuals who used violence against the person or called for violence on the grounds of religion, nationality, race etc. All the criteria for considering individuals as political prisoners are published on our website. As individuals persecuted in connection with the realisation of the right to freedom of religion make up more than a half of the total number of political prisoners in Russia, and as their cases of persecution have much in common, their names are compiled in a separate list. None of the individuals on the list used violence, called for violence or planned violent acts. There are 248 names in the present list. Now, it contains almost exclusively the names of Muslims, a majority of whom have been accused of participating in the organisation of Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami, as well as followers of Turkish theologian Bediüzzaman Said Nursî, who have been accused of participating in the inexistent organisation of Nurdjalar.
