The full study , edited by Philip R . Pryde, will be published by Westview Press under the title "Environmenta l Resources and Constraints in the Former Soviet Republics . Funding assistance from th e National Council for Soviet and East European Research is acknowledged with appreciation . In this chapter, the history, physical geography and ethnography of the Urals and Siberi a is briefly summarized, followed by a survey of its main economic resources and any significan t environmental constraints (climatic, geomorphologic, etc .) that affect the region's development . The contemporary state of the development of industry within the region is reviewed, with a focus on the environmental disruption that has resulted from this development . The current situation with regard to biotic preservation is also reviewed, including the establishment o f nature reserves and parks, and the potential for ecotourism . Particular discussion is directed to the problems that currently exist within this regio n with regard to radioactive contamination from processing facilities and at testing and disposa l sites. The serious problems of air and water pollution, and of the timber industry, ar e discussed, and a special section is devoted to Lake Baikal . The main conclusions of the chapter are that this is a region of long-standin g environmental indifference and neglect, and that due to present economic difficulties it is likel y to remain so for many years . Radioactive contamination is a particularly serious problem, as i s pollution in such industrial centers as Norilsk, Magnitogorsk, Novokuznetsk, Chelyabinsk , Angarsk, Krasnoyarsk, and many other cities . As a result, many areas of Siberia have been rendered marginal or even unfit for human habitation . Philip R . Pryde, June 6 , 1994 Figure 4.1 Chapter 4. THE URALS AND SIBERIA By Anna Scherbakova and Scott Monro e This chapter examines the vast region of Russia that takes in the eastern slopes of th e Ural Mountains and West and East Siberia. This huge territory occupies ten million squar e kilometers of northern Asia, from the Urals in the west to Yakutia (Sakha) in the east, an d from the shores of the Arctic ocean in the north to the steppes of Kazakhstan and the Chines e and Mongolian borders in the south (Figure 4.1) . In addition to the Urals, its principal region s are the West Siberian plain, the mid-Siberian plateau, the mountains of southern Siberia, an d the mountain system of northeastern Siberia . Within Siberia's borders are the republics o f Buryatia and Tuva, the Altai and Krasnoyarsk territories, and the Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinbur g (Sverdlovsk), Tyumen, Kurgan, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Irkutsk, and Chit a provinces (oblasts) . According to the 1989 census, 33 .620,000 people lived in this region . Physical Characteristics and Settlemen t Siberia is situated in the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, in th e temperate and arctic climatic belts . The climate in most of Siberia is continental and seasonall y arid ; average annual air temperature is less than 0 degrees C ., and in northeastern Siberia i t drops below -18 degrees C. Winters are long and cold . Most precipitation (up to 75--8 0 percent of the annual total) occurs during the warm period of the year, and thus snowfal l during the remaining portion generally is not substantial, averaging 30--40 cm . Siberia's arid climate contributes to the freezing of the soil and the formation o f permafrost. Over six million square kilometers of Siberian territory are under permafrost , which in northern areas reaches a depth of 200-500 m . This permafrost is one of the majo r obstacles to expansion into Siberia and to the completion of construction projects of any siz e and scope . The majority of Siberian rivers, including the most voluminous (the Ob-Irtysh system , and the Yenisey and Lena), empty into the Arctic basin (Figure 4 .1) . Rivers are blocked with ice from five months a year in the South to eight months a year in the North, which limit s navigation on the extensive river systems . Nevertheless, due to their immense volume (the y account for over fifty percent of the former USSR's hydroelectric potential), Siberian river s play a significant role in the Russian economy . The soil and plant cover of Siberia varies primarily with latitude, forming sharpl y defined zones from north to south : arctic desert; tundra; forested tundra ; taiga; and, in 1 southern west Siberia and southeastern Chita province, forested steppe and steppe . Siberia's most typical landscape is the taiga, with dense, pine-dominated forests and more open, larch - dominated conifer forests being most common in the western and eastern portions . respectively . Except in the southernmost steppe regions, soils are generally poor . Until the end of the sixteenth century the population of Siberia was quite sparse, but th e following century saw the rapid settlement of its interior regions by Russians . Tomsk wa s settled in 1604, Krasnoyarsk in 1628, and Yakutsk in 1632 . Expansion into Siberia wa s characterized by three factors : speed, due to the abundance of rivers made accessible by th e virtual absence of resistance from indigenous peoples ; relatively low financial costs ; and the stability and cohesion of settled lands . The stream of settlers grew after the emancipation of serfs in 1861 and especiall y following the construction in 1891-1905 of the Trans-Siberian railroad . As a result of the expansion of Russians into Siberia, indigenous peoples were pushed away from their traditiona l places of residence, and their ancient ways of life suffered irreparable damage . In economic terms native Siberian peoples (about four percent of the total population) mainly belong to on e of two groups: agrarian cattle-raisers and farmers (most Yakuts, Buryats, Tuvans, and othe r peoples of Southern Siberia), and the so-called "small peoples" of the North, who engage i n deer-raising, hunting, and fishing . The northern peoples are related in the west to th e Laplanders of northern Europe, and in the east to the Inuits and Aleuts of North America . The Tuvans and Yakuts are Turkic, and the Buryats are closely related to the people of Mongolia . Some of the interior indigenous groups, such as the Nenets, belong to the Uralo-Altai c linguistic family . Natural Resources Developmen t Siberia is famed for its wealth of natural resources, from the oil fields of Tyumen to the gold mines of Kolyma . Although the harsh climate and sheer enormity of the Siberian territor y present natural barriers to development, industry was well developed in the Urals in Tsaris t times, and Soviet planners have subsequently built many important industrial centers throughout Siberia .

  • On the Formation of Local Communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the 19Th Century
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 2020 13(7): 1065-1072 DOI: 10.17516/1997-1370-0626 УДК 93/94 On the Formation of Local Communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the 19th Century Valentina N. Asochakovaa,b and Svetlana S. Chistanova*b aSiberian Federal University Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation bKatanov Khakass State University Abakan, Republic of Khakassia, Russian Federation Received 08.07.2019, received in revised form 04.06.2020, accepted 09.07.2020 Abstract. The purpose of the article is to consider the formation of local communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the religious migrant world. The authors refer to religious migrants as migrants who left their place of permanent residence in Central Russia and moved to Siberia in the 19th century in an attempt to preserve and spread their non-Orthodox religion. The authors analyse literature, sources from the Siberian archives, scientific articles and monographs on the life of religious migrants in other regions of Siberia and the Far East. The article gives a classification of sects, adopted by pre-revolutionary scholars, examines in detail the representatives of all faiths living in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory, namely Molokans, Dukhobors, Skoptsy, Catholics and Protestants, especially Lutherans, their number, farming conditions and interaction with local population. The conclusion sets out the reasons why local communities in the studied region did not form: the border location of the region, the indigenous population, which was just beginning to accept Orthodoxy, the fragmentation and small number of sectarians. Keywords: local communities, Khakass-Minusinsk territory, religious migrants, Molokans, Dukhobors, Sabbatarians, Skoptsy, Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans.

  • Irkutsk's Cold Spring by Gregory Feiffer
    Irkutsk's Cold Spring By Gregory Feiffer IRKUTSK, Eastern Siberia Stepping onto the airfield five time zones east of Moscow, I braced myself for the cold. Minus 12 degrees Celsius in April was a rude shock nonetheless. On top of that came snow brought by winds sweeping the vast continental steppe, altering direction to change the weather by bringing blizzards one minute and bright sun the next. "If only we didn't have to suffer through the winter each year," an Irkutsk native glumly told me later, "then we'd have far fewer problems." Of course, it would be easier to envision our solar system without the sun, so central is winter to life here. I wasn't thinking about weather patterns initially while rattling across the Irkutsk airfield at five in the morning, however. I was breathing sighs of relief that I was finally out of earshot of an angry and intricately made-up female fel- low passenger on whom I'd very recently spilled my one glass of Aeroflot water while getting up to visit the toilet. Good I hadn't opted for red wine. My sensitivity to the climate picked up again when the old ZIL truck pulling the ancient airfield shuttle stalled while shifting gears in front of the airport's three equally ancient military Tupolev cargo planes. By the time got inside the main building accessible only after leaving the airfield and finding one's way intuitively to the front entrance I was freezing. assumed that since I'd flown from Moscow, I needed the domestic-flights building.

    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.

  • On the State of Conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Property Lake Baikal (Russian Federation, No. 754) in 2014 1. Response
    On the State of Conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Property Lake Baikal (Russian Federation, No. 754) in 2014 1. Response of the Russian Federation with regard to Resolution No. 37 СОМ 7В.22 adopted by the World Heritage Committee. Concerning the activities of Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill Resolution of the RF Government related to the termination of recurring operations at Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill (hereinafter referred to as “BPPM”) is mainly caused by the intention to eliminate the negative impact of environmentally unsound production to a unique ecosystem of Lake Baikal and necessity of the Russian Federation to perform its obligations related to Lake Baikal conservation as UNESCO World Heritage property. Issues related to legislative and regulatory support are reflected in the Federal Law “On the Protection of Lake Baikal” and Resolution of the RF Government No. 643 “On Approval of the List of Activities Prohibited in the Central Ecological Zone of Lake Baikal Natural Area” (hereinafter referred to as “Resolution No. 643”, “List”) as of August 30, 2001 adopted according to the law specified prohibitions and restrictions of business activities to be taken into account when developing the plan for economy modernization of Baikalsk one-factory town. The RF Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has made arrangements to evaluate the possibility to exclude separate business activities from the List and subsequent to the results of this work the Government of the Russian Federation adopted its Resolution No. 159 as of February 28, 2014 “On Introducing Changes in the List of Activities Prohibited in the Central Ecological Zone of Lake Baikal Natural Area”.
