  • Thyroid Cancer in Children and Adolescents of Bryansk and Kaluga Regions
    BY0000285 Thyroid Cancer in Children and Adolescents of Bryansk and Kaluga Regions A.F. TSYB, E.M. PARSHKOV, V.V. SHAKHTARIN, V.F. STEPANENKO, V.F. SKVORTSOV, I.V. CHEBOTAREVA MRRC RAMS, Obninsk, Russia Abstract We analyzed 62 cases of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents of Bryansk and Kaluga regions, the most contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident. The data on specified radiation situation as well as probable radiation doses to the thyroid are given. It is noted that the development of thyroid cancer depends on the age of children at the time of accident (0-3, 7-9, 12-15 years). They arc the most critical periods for the formation and functioning of the thyroid, in particular, in girls. It is suggested that thyroid cancer develops in children and teenagers residing in areas with higher Cs-137 contamination level at younger age than in those residing in less contaminated regions. It is shown that the minimal latent period in the development of thyroid cancer makes up to 5 years. The results of ESR method on tooth enamel specimen indicate that over postaccident period the sufficient share of children has collected such individual radiation dose which are able to affect on their health stale and development of thyroid pathology. For a long period of time Russia unlike Belarus and Ukraine was considered to be "favourable" by the development of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents after the Chernobyl accident. Such a fact appeared to be a dissonance in the common concept on the possible radiation induction of thyroid tissues to malignancy when received relatively low doses of iodine radionuclide.

ICANA A C i e n A ñ o s Paleopedogenesis during the Mikulino interglacial (MIS 5е) in the East-European plain: buried toposequence of the key-section “Alexandrov quarry” Svetlana Sycheva1, Sergey Sedov2,* 1 Institute of Geography, RAS. Staromonetny 29, Moscow, 119017, Russia 2 Instituto de Geología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México * [email protected] Abstract The Alexandrovsky quarry exposure (near Kursk, central European Russia) represents one of the most complete and detailed records of paleosols, colluvial sediments and loess for the last glacial-interglacial cycle in Eastern Europe. The buried toposequence of Mikulino (Eemian) paleosols, developed on a gully slope cut in the Dnepr (Riss) loess and overlain by Early Valdai (Würmian) colluvium, was subjected to detailed morphological study. The paleosol on the upper slope is an Albeluvisol that contrasts from the Holocene Cherno- zem. Analysis of thin sections of the Albeluvisol demonstrated that elluvial features – concentrations of bleached silt in the pores and in the groundmass – dominate not only in E and EB but also in the Bt1 horizon. They also penetrate into lower Bt2 and Bt3 horizons where they combine with illuvial clay pedofeatures. The paleosol profile at the bottom of the gully shows synsedimentary development with several A, AE and E horizons reflecting several phases of geomorphic activity as a response to a complex environmental history during the last interglacial.

Today, work is underway to develop a number of key legislative drafts aimed at expanding the application field of insurance as an efficient risk management tool, which will provide a great spark to the development of insurance in Russia.

  • Supreme Court Ban on Jehovah's Witnesses Begins to Bite
    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 This article was published by F18News on: 15 January 2010 RUSSIA: Supreme Court ban on Jehovah's Witnesses begins to bite By Geraldine Fagan, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> Although 34 Jehovah's Witness publications described as extremist have not yet been added to the Federal List of Extremist Materials, public prosecutors in several Russian regions have begun issuing extremism warnings to Jehovah's Witness communities, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. Also, in what is thought to be the first instance in post-Soviet Russia of extended detention in connection with sharing beliefs, two Jehovah's Witnesses informally accused of distributing extremist literature in Bryansk Region were detained for six days for "petty hooliganism". Mikhail Odintsov of the office of Russia's Human Rights Ombudsman told Forum 18 - in what he stressed was his personal view - that there was a realistic chance Jehovah's Witnesses could appeal successfully to President Dmitry Medvedev to defend their rights, if complaints were formulated in purely legal terms. He characterised the overall situation as "threatening", maintaining that "reverse Sovietisation" was taking place. "We are returning to the ideological roots of state dislike of certain religious organisations," he remarked. "These people [Jehovah's Witnesses] have no defence. What defence do they have when a court is negatively predisposed towards them, pro-Orthodox, believes that one religion should be protected from another?" Even though 34 Jehovah's Witness publications described as extremist have not yet been added to the Federal List of Extremist Materials, public prosecutors in disparate Russian regions have already begun issuing extremism warnings to Jehovah's Witness communities, Forum 18 News Service has learnt.

  • Secret Cities Glasnost and Global Environmental Threats
    TITLE: Secret Cities, Glasnost and Global Environmental Threats AUTHOR: Murray Feshbach Georgetown University THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEAN RESEARCH 1755 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 COPYRIGHT This paper was not produced under Council contract. It has been volunteered to the Council by the author under a limited release of copyright to the Council and to the United States Government for internal use only and may not be cited, quoted or released to any persons outside the Council and Government without the author's written permission. SECRET CITIES, GLASNOST AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS by Dr. Murray Feshbach Georgetown University Tomsk-7 is one of 10 former closed nuclear cities of the former Soviet Union. Or perhaps one of the 16 secret cities (including chemical/biological warfare activities) or perhaps 29, 30, 60 or 87—all of which numbers are propounded by Soviet/Russian sources. Regardless of which number is correct, on April 6, 1993, an accident occurred at Tomsk-7 releasing radioactive contamination into the atmosphere. Early investigation found an improper procedure performed by the staff which led to a chemical reaction which then exploded in the storage tank. Currently, the amount of radiation released is uncertain. Russian governmental investigators, international agency inspectors and non-governmental organizations (Greens, in particular, the Socio-Ecological Union) are provisionally giving different numbers and potential danger. Different numbers, or better evaluation, also has affected the estimate of radioactive nucleides emitted by the Chernobyl accident on April 26, 1986. Until several months ago, the standard figure was 50 million curies; the spokesman for the Ministry of Atomic Industry of Russia, and others, are now citing a figure 60 percent higher—80 million curies.
