    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief 10 July 2013 RUSSIA: Orthodox relics block Jehovah's Witness meeting By Geraldine Fagan, Forum 18 News Service A written Russian official refusal to allow Jehovah's Witness to meet for worship in Nizhny Novgorod Region, made in consultation with a local Orthodox bishop, provides rare evidence that state opposition to Jehovah's Witnesses is fuelled by support for the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), Forum 18 News Service has found. "As the administration, we conduct all our activity in close contact with the [Moscow Patriarchate] Diocese," the official who drafted the refusal, Svetlana Zakharova, confirmed to Forum 18. "There's not a single question affecting the interests of one side or the other that we don't decide collegially." It is highly unusual for Russian officials to make such admissions, especially in writing, Forum 18 notes. Elsewhere, more Jehovah's Witness texts have been banned, and raids on and detentions and fines of Jehovah's Witnesses and Falun Gong practitioners continue. The government is also set to increase punishments for "extremist" activity under the Criminal Code.

Thus, the aim of this study was to propose a method to assess ecological drawdowns from power station reservoirs. An example of its application for the Volga River downstream area is presented. The efficiency of the quantitative assessment of ecological water discharge from the reservoir of the Volgograd hydroelectric power station is analyzed and discussed in relation to the improvement of the environmental condition of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, which covers an area of 6.1 × 103 km2. It is shown that a decrease of spring-summer flooding worsened significantly its environmental condition, i.e. biodiversity decreased by 2-3 times, soil fertility declined by 25%, floodplain relief deformation occurred and the productivity of semi-migratory fish decreased by more than 3 times.

VOLGAOLGA DREAMREAM August 2 to 12, 2013 featuring Temple Professor Therese Dolan Dear Temple Alumni and Friends, Cruising the network of rivers, lakes and canals that runs between Russia’s two great cultural capitals has always been an excellent way of seeing the Russian countryside and visiting the cities of the “Golden Ring.” Aboard the deluxe, modern M.S. VOLGA D REAM, we will take a late summer sojourn that will begin in St. Petersburg and then travel along the “Blue Road” to end in Moscow. With us throughout our journey will be Temple art historian Therese Dolan, a perennial favorite among Temple alumni travelers. Byzantine icons, Renaissance painting, Baroque palaces, masterpieces by the French Impressionists—we will explore them all in her company and with the help of a team of expert guides and lecturers. C We will spend two full days in St. Petersburg, Peter the Great’s visionary “window on the West,” and then cruise through the heartland of Mother Russia, where daily life goes on at the measured pace it has kept for generations. Villages of traditional wooden houses, onion-domed churches and fortifi ed monasteries dot the banks. For this journey we have chartered the most deluxe small ship cruising Russia’s waterways. The M.S. VOLGA D REAM also features the lowest passenger density, so there will be plenty of space and time to compare notes on what we have seen with other like-minded companions. This thoughtfully crafted itinerary features nine UNESCO World Heritage sites.
