    Situne Dei Årsskrift för Sigtunaforskning och historisk arkeologi 2014 Redaktion: Anders Söderberg Rune Edberg Magnus Källström Elisabet Claesson Utgiven av Sigtuna Museum SITUNE DEI Med Fornkåre genom Ryssland 2013 Rapport från den fortsatta färden med en kopia av en vikingatida båt Lennart Widerberg 1 I Situne Dei 2013 berättade jag om expeditionen med Fornkåre, en kopia av en vikingatida båt, från Sverige till Ryssland. Med start i Uppsala gick färden förbi Sigtuna och Stockholm. Vidare via Kökar, Helsingfors, Viborg och S:t Petersburg. Därefter på Neva, Ladoga och Volchov fram till målet, den gamla staden Novgorod, av vikingatidens skandinaver kallad Holmgård. Sammanlagd färdtid var 23 dagar (Widerberg 2013). Sommaren 2013 fortsatte färden från Novgorod söderut, först över den grunda slättsjön Ilmen, därefter på floden Lovat (fig. 1). Varför åka båt på Lovat? Floden är omtalad i den fornryska krönikan (också kallad Nestorskrönikan) som en del av “Vägen från varjagerna till grekerna”, dvs från Skandinavien till det bysantinska riket. Många forskare har dragit slutsatsen att svenska vikingar brukade färdas genom Ryssland med båtar och skepp längs detta stråk medan andra har ifrågasatt om det verkligen varit möjligt att ta sig fram på detta sätt. Figur 1. Fornkåres sjö- och flodfärd 2013 startade i Novgorod och avbröts strax söder om Velikie Luki. Den slingriga färdsträckan var ca 410 km. Avståndet fågelvägen är ca 260 km. Karta red. 82 LENNART WIDERBERG Figur 2. Fornkåre närmar sig Lovats mynning i Ilmen och träffar här på ett mudderverk. Foto: författaren. Fornkåre är 9,6 meter lång, byggd av mig som en trogen kopia av ett arkeologiskt fynd från Roslagen, den så kallade Viksbåten.

    Vestnik zoologii, 49(5):477–479, 2015 DOI: 10.1515/vzoo-2015-0058 NOTES First Record of the Striped Argiopa, Argiope bruennichi, in Novgorod Region, Russia (Aranei, Araneidae) [Первая находка Аргиопа Брюнниха, Argiope bruennichi, в Новгородской области, Россия (Aranei, Araneidae)]. — Large orb-weaving spider, Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772), is known to invade actively central and northern part of European Russia (Mikhailov, Borisova, 2013; Mikhailov, Panov, 2014); before the 2000s, this species was not found northwards of 52° N latitude. In the 2000s, more records were made from Moscow Region, Vladimir Region, and other areas in Central European Russia, Belarus, Baltic countries and Finland. One specimen was found in the environs of Saint-Petersburg. Territories between St.-Petersburg and Tver Region were not yet settled by Striped Argiopa. One of us (VA) found an adult female of A. bruennichi in Novgorod Region: Kholm District, environs of Kholm, 57° 09'39" N, 31°10'46" E, gramineous meadow, near sandy bank of Lovat River, 26.09.2015. This record unambiguously certified total occupation of European Russia by this alien species. Proceeding of this paper is supported by Russian Science Foundation project No. 14-50-00029. — V. Yu.

  • Ivan Dudin Alexander Shebesta
    Anthropogenic transformation of the ecosystem This article examines the current state of Ivan Dudin the groundwater system monitoring in the Nov- Alexander Shebesta gorod region. The groundwater monitoring observations serve as the basis for prediction assessment of water resources. The efficiency of THE GROUNDWATER water resource management largely depends on MONITORING the comprehensiveness and reliability of infor- mation on the groundwater condition. IN THE NOVGOROD REGION The existing groundwater monitoring sys- IN THE SYSTEM tem has proven to be incapable of fully imple- menting its functions. It requires a fundamental OF REGIONAL NATURE reorganization and further development at the MANAGEMENT contemporary scientific and technical level, since groundwater resource management is impossible without a quantitative forecast of groundwater condition and properties. From the perspective of rational Nature management, the leading ecological function of underground hydrosphere is carried out by fresh underground waters. Rational Nature manage- ment underlies the sustainable development of the Northwest region, which is economically viable for the European territory of the country. Key words: groundwater monitoring, aquifer system, water resources, nature management, sustainable development. Within the nature management structure of the North-western region of the Russian Federation, water resource management is of special importance. Water resource management should be performed in the framework of the adopted Concept of transition of the Russian Federation to sustainable development of 1996, the federal law on environmental protection of 2002, the Water code of the Russian Federation of 2006, and the subsoils law and it should be of targeted nature giving priority to utility and drinking water supply. Groundwater, being a part of both water resources and subsoils, is a val- uable deposit, the use of which is increasing every year in the socioeconomic sphere, mainly, within drinking and utility water supply.

  • Sebezh Has a Railroad Station on the Moscow-Riga Line, 189 Kilometers South of Pskov
    Sebezh has a railroad station on the Moscow-Riga line, 189 kilometers south of Pskov. In 1922 it was still part of Vitehsk province." Peter Kenez University of California, Santa Cruz William B. Husband. Revolution in the Factory: The Birth of the Soviet Textile Industry, 1917-1920. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1990. vii, 227 pp. $45.50 Cdn. Distributed in Canada by Oxford University Press, Don Mills, Ontario. The rank and file workers in the textile industry expressed precise and immanently concrete, if not altogether unpredictable, complaints. At a Nizhnii-Novgorod provincial conference, the workers at the Reshetekhin Factory reported a shortage of fuel and of skilled workers; the Trubanov Factory needed qualified specialists; the food crisis had reduced production significantly at the Molotov Factory and forced workers to desert the Nizhegorod Wool Factory in large numbers to search for food; a typhus epidemic reduced work at the Gorbatov Factory by half; and the Gorbatov and Rastiakin Rope Factories complained about the absence of cultural- educational work. Later reports indicated shortages of cotton had not yet affecf,ed the Medvedov and Danilov Factories, but the Shlikterman had just closed down; fuel shortages severely crippled the Tritskaia and Dubovits Factories, while the Strelkov and the former Tregubov Factories were forced to close their doors. But the problem with studying the work- ing class from the local perspective, specifically the textile workers of the Central Industrial Region, is that this "agenda," with but slight variations, holds true for, say, the fall of 1915 and the spring of 1917; the fall of 1918 and mid-1919; and even for the fall of 1921! As Husband astutely points out in his conclusion, the same 'local interests continued to be identified in 1918-1920 much as they had been against the Imperial and Provisional governments in 1917" (p.

  • The German 290Th Infantry Division at Demyansk by Henning Nagel and Vance Von Borries
    The German 290th Infantry Division at Demyansk By Henning Nagel and Vance von Borries During September 1941 the summer advance into the Soviet Union by German Army Group North had largely ended. In the north, units of the Army Group’s 18th Army laid siege to Leningrad while to the east and south they stood against Soviet efforts to relieve the great siege. To the south, 16th Army entered the Valday Hills region, taking Demyansk on September 8th thereby securing Army Group North’s southern flank and establishing a link with its neighbor, Army Group Center. By the end of November the 16th Army conducted little more than local actions and the campaign in the area settled in to static warfare. The main German effort had shifted south to Army Group Center in front of Moscow. Yet, as Army Group Center began to close around Moscow, it too lost momentum and shifted to the defensive. Then the Soviets struck. What began as a limited counter-offensive against Army Group Center in December grew by January 1942 into a general strategic offensive that threatened to expel the Germans from much of the Soviet Union. Practically all German divisions in Russia were caught up in the winter campaign and at times each would find itself thrown back on its own resources. Little else would be available. In the Demyansk/Valday area all German divisions worked together and each played an important role, sometimes critical, in withstanding the Soviet tide. The story of the 290th illustrates how these divisions held together. The 290th Infantry Division (ID), part of 16th Army’s X.Army Corps in the Valday region, had been formed in March and April 1940 in the Munsterlager Troop Maneuver Area from newly trained north German personnel.
