  • Specialists, Spies, “Special Settlers”, and Prisoners of War: Social Frictions in the Kuzbass (USSR), 1920–1950
    IRSH 60 (2015), Special Issue, pp. 185–205 doi:10.1017/S0020859015000462 © 2015 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Specialists, Spies, “Special Settlers”, and Prisoners of War: Social Frictions in the Kuzbass (USSR), 1920–1950 J ULIA L ANDAU Buchenwald Memorial 99427 Weimar-Buchenwald, Germany E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Kuzbass coalmining region in western Siberia (Kuznetsk Basin) was explored, populated, and exploited under Stalin’s rule. Struggling to offset a high labour turnover, the local state-run coal company enrolled deportees from other regions of Russia and Siberia, who were controlled by the secret police (OGPU). These workers shared a common experience in having been forcibly separated from their place of origin. At the same time, foreigners were recruited from abroad as experts and offered a privileged position. In the years of the Great Terror (1936−1938) both groups were persecuted, as they were regarded by the state as disloyal and suspicious. After the war, foreigners were recruited in large numbers as prisoners of war. Thus, migrants, foreigners, and deportees from other regions and countries constituted a significant part of the workforce in the Kuzbass, while their status constantly shifted due to economic needs and repressive politics. From the beginning of the twentieth century, after the building of the Trans- Siberian Railway, the economic resources of Siberia became the subject of political consideration and planning efforts by the Russian and later the Soviet state. The Kuzbass region in western Siberia amazed Soviet planners with its vast supply of very high-quality coal – the layers of coal measuring from 1.5 to 20 metres.1 The content of ash (about 10 per cent) and sulphur (between 0.4 and 0.7 per cent) was comparatively low.

  • Some Diversification Factors of Old Industrial Regions\' Economy and Transition to the Innovative Development
    E3S Web of Conferences 21, 04022 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/e3sconf/20172104022 The Second International Innovative Mining Symposium Some Diversification Factors of Old Industrial Regions’ Economy and Transition to the Innovative Development Olga Tabashnikova1 1 Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Kemerovo Institute (branch), 650992 Kemerovo, Kuznetskiy Av. 39, Russia Abstract. The article presents the grounds for the necessity to diversify the mono-economy of old industrial regions and its transition to the innovative development based on the interaction of small and large businesses with the support of municipal, regional and governmental authorities. The examples of the world practice in state regulation of depressed territories of old industrial type and the participation of multinational corporations in their modernization are given. The role of business groups in the diversification of the Kemerovo region economy is described, as well as the importance of supporting this process by the governmental authorities. 1 Introduction The need to diversify the mono-profile (mono-product, mono-industrial) economy of old industrial regions, including the Kemerovo Region, is due to the objective requirement of their sustainable development and increase of social and economic parameters of the terri- torial management system. One of the important factors of this process is the effective in- teraction of small and large business. However, in modern economy, when the existing economic, production, and other links and mechanisms lose their importance and new ones are just being established, to create such interaction and ensure its development the pur- poseful efforts of the authorities on federal, regional and municipal levels are necessary. 2 Materials and Methods It should be noted that there is no "exact" (single, universal) definition of the term "old in- dustrial region", despite the fact that many scientists have paid attention to this phenome- non during the past twenty five years in Russia [1-5].

Siberia's location within the Early Neoproterozoic Rodinia Superterrane is contentious (since few if any reliable palaeomagnetic data exist between about 1.0 Ga and 540 Ma), but Siberia probably became independent during the breakup of Rodinia soon after 800 Ma and continued to be so until very near the end of the Palaeozoic, when it became an integral part of the Pangea Supercontinent. The boundaries of the cratonic core of the Siberian Terrane (including the Patom area) are briefly described, together with summaries of some of the geologically complex surrounding areas, and it is concluded that all of the Palaeozoic underlying the West Siberian

  • The Impact of Free Media on Regime Change: Evidence from Russia
    The Impact of Free Media on Regime Change: Evidence from Russia Javier Garcia-Arenas∗ January 17, 2016 Abstract Can free media become a powerful lever to make regime change possible? Are Western countries successful in exporting their values to other countries and triggering regime change abroad? I study these questions in the context of Russia in the early 90s when the Soviet Union was crumbling. In particular, I analyze the impact of Radio Liberty on the 1991 Russian presidential elections, which were the first democratic elec- tions in the country. In order to study the effects of this American radio broadcasting from outside Russia, I use a novel empirical strategy exploiting ionospheric variation, which affects shortwave propagation over long distances, measured by NASA with the aim of obtaining a measure of radio availability in each Russian electoral district. The results show a significant effect of these broadcasts in favor of Yeltsin and a negative significant effect on communist support. Such results are robust and bolstered by a series of placebo exercises, and survey evidence. Thus, this paper documents that free media can play an important role in political processes of regime change. Keywords: Regime change, free media, communism, ionosphere. ∗Department of Economics, MIT. Email: [email protected]. I am hugely indebted to Daron Acemoglu, Ben Olken, and Esther Duflo for splendid and inspiring advice, guidance, and encouragement through all the stages of this project.

  • Typological Features of Water Structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban Territories
    MATEC Web of Conferences 193, 02021 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819302021 ESCI 2018 Typological features of water structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban territories Eugenia Ketova 1,* and Juliya Nizhegorodskaya1 1 Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, 630099 Novosibirsk, Russia Abstract. The railway construction was a new phenomenon for Russia and was not sufficiently studied from a technological point of view. Primarily, climatic and geographical factors were the main problems in the process of the Trans-Siberian Railway construction. Severe winter, permafrost, mountainous, abundant forest terrain created certain difficulties during the construction phase. Therefore, the builders were forced to violate the nature integrity and lay the railway lines along the most profitable routes. The railway line was naturally chosen, first it should pass through large settlements, and secondly, the important factor was the location of the station near the water source for the uninterrupted operation of locomotives. But together with technological progress, this system was evolved into a complex organism, which parts were modernized, and some of them turned into inefficient structures that are collapsing and polluting the environment. 1 Introduction One of the main ecological relationship types between a person and water is his water use through the implementation of individual or centralized water supply. Long-term development of water supply technology is allowed to improve methods of water intake and transportation, which led to some elements inefficiency in the water supply system. Each year, an unprotected object comes to decay, collapsing enclosing structures, facade elements, roofing, and foundation; damage not only environment, but also a danger to humans.

  • Environmental Safety in the Framework of Sustainable Development of the Region (On the Example of the Siberian Federal District)
    E3S Web of Conferences 296, 04002 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202129604002 ESMGT 2021 Environmental safety in the framework of sustainable development of the region (on the example of the Siberian Federal District) E.A. Zhidkova1,*, and I.A. Dymova2 1Kemerovo State University, Kemerovo, Russia 2T. F. Gorbachev Kuzbass State Technical University Abstract. A statistical analysis of public opinion on environmental safety issues was carried out. The Siberian Federal District was chosen as the object of the study. Special attention is paid to the development of environmental safety in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Kemerovo Region (Kuzbass). The main criterion for determining the coordinates of "critical" points was the results of a social survey conducted by the Special Communications and Information Service of the Federal Security Service of Russia. The reasons for the negative impact on the state of the environment of the Siberian Federal District are revealed. It is established that when preventive measures are not so effective to maintain a high level of environmental safety, the compensation of environmental damage can pass through the organization of the institute of environmental insurance. 1 Introduction Theory and practice of sustainable development in Russia is associated with indicators of economic growth. Sustainable development is interpreted in a broader aspect at the international level and is associated not only with the economic phenomena implementation, but also with environmental and social processes. Currently, due to the ongoing scientific and technological breakthroughs, there is a limit to the use of the Russian raw-materials export model of development. On the one hand, there is a decrease in resources of producing fields, leading to a decline in economic growth, and, on the other hand, the expansion of exploration and extraction of minerals causes damage to the environment, reducing environmental safety level.
