  • Peasant Identities in Russia's Turmoil
    PEASANT IDENTITIES IN RUSSIA’S TURMOIL: STATUS, GENDER, AND ETHNICITY IN VIATKA PROVINCE, 1914-1921 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Aaron Benyamin Retish, M.A. The Ohio State University, 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Hoffmann, Adviser Professor Eve Levin _________________ Professor Nicholas Breyfogle Adviser Department of History Copyright by Aaron Benyamin Retish 2003 ABSTRACT From 1914-21, the Russian countryside underwent an enormous social and political transformation. World War I and civil war led to conscription into the tsarist, Bolshevik, and anti-Bolshevik armies, removing over fourteen million young male peasants from their villages. Revolution destroyed the centuries-old peasant-landlord relationship, redistributed land among the peasantry, democratized the countryside, and allowed villages to install autonomous governing bodies. War and social turmoil also brought massive famine and government requisitioning of grain and possessions, killing thousands of peasants and destroying their means of existence. The Bolshevik victory, a defining event of the twentieth century, was ultimately determined by the temporary support of the peasantry, the vast majority of Russia's population. This project studies the interaction between peasants and government in the Russian province of Viatka from the beginning of World War I to the end of the Civil War in 1921. In doing so, it will advance how scholars understand the nature of the Revolution, peasant-state relations, and peasant society and culture in general. On the ii one hand, I analyze Russia’s changes through a study of peasant responses to tsarist, Provisional Government, and Soviet recruitment into the armed forces; requisitioning of grain and possessions; and establishment of local administrations.

  • Trans Manchurian Railway Journey Tour
    Amazing Journeys - RUSSIA, CHINA 18 the Trans Manchurian Railway Journey For those who travel for the pleasure of the journey, those who believe that getting there is as much fun as being there, Russia's Trans-Machurian Railway has long been an almost mythic experience. A great part of the pleasure of such a trip is simply sitting back and watching the world go by. However, most travellers on the Trans-Siberian find that interaction with other passengers, both Russians and tourists, is what makes the trip an unforgettable experience. The fabled Trans-Siberia rail journey itself takes seven nights and ends eight time zones away from its beginning. To bring real perspective, consider that this is the longest continuous rail line on earth, each run clattering along in an epic journey of almost 10,000 kilometers…stretching across more than one third of the globe. This journey is a unique opportunity to travel to a place far from your daily world. You will learn a lot about the Russian soul, Manchurian history and Chinese culture. 19 Amazing Journeys - RUSSIA, CHINA 14 Days 13 Nights Vladimir Kirov Perm Tumen 2 Nizhny Moscow Novgorod Yekaterinaburg Novosibirsk Irkutsk Omsk Taishet Ulan-Ude Lisvyanka Chita Zbaikalsk Manchuria Harbin Beijing 2 Shen Yang Day 01 Arrive Moscow Kirov, (located on the Vyatka River .

  • Selection of Logistics Centres Location: Case of Russia
    Selection of Logistics Centres Location: Case of Russia Pavel Kiparisov Submitted to Central European University Department of Economics In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Economic Policy in Global Markets Supervisor: Dr Viktor Lagutov Central European University Budapest, Hungary CEU eTD Collection 2016 Abstract Currently Russian forwarding service development is at a comparatively low level. One of the considered priority objectives, which is defined in the Transport Strategy of Russia 2030, is a construction of logistics centres in every region of Russia. This thesis presents a new evaluation system for the logistics centre allocation and applies spatial analysis tools to near optimally allocate logistics centres on the territory of the Russian Federation. Using ArcGIS Network Analyst, the most suitable cities for logistics centres allocation are selected based on railway networks accessibility within the Russian Federation, proximity to domestic and foreign contiguous cities and regional socio-economic situation as well as infrastructure de- velopment and regional investment attractiveness. The project aims at selecting cities for allocation of logistics centres of federal importance. The policy recommendations are pro- vided to Maksim Sokolov, Minister of Transport in Russia as of 2016. Keywords: logistics centre, facility location problem, road network analysis, spatial analysis. CEU eTD Collection Acknowledgements First and foremost, I thank all my family for their love and support. I would like to express my gratitude to my research supervisor Dr Viktor Lagutov for his readiness to help and all his encouragement; Dr Julius Horvath for his support in difficult situations; Dr Svetlana A.
