  • Mobility and Sense of Place Among Youth in the Russian Arctic
    Mobility and Sense of Place among Youth in the Russian Arctic ALLA BOLOTOVA, ANASTASIA KARASEVA, AND VALERIA VASILYEVA Abstract: This article explores how the mobility of young people in- fluences their sense of place in different parts of the Russian Arctic. In globalization studies increasing mobility has often been set in oppo sition to belonging to place, and interpreted as diminishing local connections and ties. Recent studies show that the role of mobil- ity in shaping a sense of place is more complex. The Russian Arctic is often considered a remote, hard-to-access area, despite the fact that local residents have always been very mobile. We compare three case studies from across the Russian Arctic—namely, the Central Murmansk region, the Central Kolyma, and Eastern Taimyr—show- ing how mobility shapes differently young residents’ sense of place. These regions have a different population structure (urban / rural, polyethnic / monoethnic) and different transportation infrastructure, thus providing a good ground for comparing the relationships be- tween mobility and a sense of place in the Russian Arctic. Keywords: Magadan region, mobility, motility, Murmansk region, Russian Arctic, sense of place, Taimyr, transport infrastructure here are no roads in the North” is a common stereotype about “ the Russian Arctic.1 Social scientists working there often become annoyedT by this postulate, not only because it presumes an essential immobility of the local population that is far from reality, but also by the background idea that the Russian North is a uniform, homogeneous space that does not display significant differences across its several thousand kilometers. Anthropologists studying the Russian North face precisely the opposite problem: how best to compare the results of field research if social life varies so radically in different regions.

  • Magadan Oblast's Investment Potential February 2015
    Magadan Oblast’s Investment Potential (Regional Analysis Report, February 2015) Table of Contents: MAGADAN OBLAST’S INVESTMENT POTENTIAL General Information Economy FEBRUARY 2015 Investment Activity in the Region Key Investment Projects Investment Climate Investor Guidelines The Region’s Economic Prospects Appendices Magadan Oblast’s Investment Potential (Regional Analysis Report, February 2015) 2 General Information Magadan Oblast is a federal subject (constituent entity) of Russia, located in the north- east of the Far Eastern Federal District. Magadan Oblast was established on December 3, 1953. Until 1992, the region included Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The Oblast’s administrative, social and economic center is the city of Magadan, which has over 67% of the region’s population and is home to many large organizations. Magadan is 7,110 km away from Moscow. Magadan Oblast on the Russian Federation map: Источник: http://ru.wikipedia.org Magadan Oblast covers an area of around 462,500 sq. km1, which makes it the 11th largest region of Russia. At the same time, the Oblast is one of the most sparsely populated places in the country (population density was 0.33 people per 1 km2 as of January 1, 2014). It stretches 930 km from north to south and 960 km from west to east. Geographically, it is part of Russia’s Extreme North-East, a land-locked area characterized by a severe climate. The Oblast is washed by the Sea of Okhotsk. Land boundaries are in thinly populated mountainous areas. The Oblast borders with Khabarovsk Krai in the west, Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in the north-west, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the north- east, and with Kamchatka Krai in the south-east.

  • Lithochemical Stream Sediments of the Dukat Gold–Silver Ore-Forming System (North–East of Russia)

Vinogradov Institute of Geochemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Favorskiy str 1A, 664033 Irkutsk, Russia; [email protected] (R.G.K.); [email protected] (V.V.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 October 2019; Accepted: 10 December 2019; Published: 14 December 2019 Abstract: The composition, structure and formation features of the exogenous anomalous geochemical fields (AGFs) identified by lithochemical stream sediments (LSSs) are considered using the examples of the Dukat gold–silver ore-forming system and the deposit with the same name. The research was carried out in the Balygychan–Sugoy trough (Magadan region, north–east of Russia). Areal geochemical surveys on the 1:200,000 and 1:50,000 scales were conducted. Exogenous AGFs of basic element indicators of all known mineralization types were studied. It is shown that the surveys on the 1:200,000 scale are characterized by simplicity, relative depth and the possibility to obtain information operatively about the metallogeny of the area as a whole. At the same time, the anomalies were revealed as a result of surveys often making a relatively poor component composition and low contrast compared with ores. The violation of quantitative and sometimes qualitative relationships can be seen between elements, especially those related to gold–silver mineralization. In this situation, the most informative are surveys of LSSs on the 1:50,000 scale. The AGFs were revealed as a result of their performance to have a richer component composition and high contrast, conforming to different ore types.
