    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

  • The First Checklist of Lichens, Lichenicolous and Allied Fungi of Altaisky Krai (Siberia, Russia)
    The first checklist of lichens, lichenicolous and allied fungi of Altaisky krai (Siberia, Russia) EVGENY A. DAVYDOV Altai State University, Lenina Prosp. 61, Barnaul, 656049, Russia * CORRESPONDENCE TO: [email protected] ABSTRACT — The first check-list of lichen-forming, lichenicolous and allied fungi of Altaisky krai is presented. Literature records as well as distribution within the region are given for every species. The known species diversity of Altaisky krai at the present time has been estimated as 545 species of lichens, 12 lichenicolous fungi and one saprotrophic lichen-related fungus. Based on a completeness index relating the number of macrolichen species and expected number of microlichen species, the predicted lichen diversity of Altaisky krai would be about 882-1084 species. KEY WORDS — lichens, lichenicolous fungi, West Siberia, South Siberia, Altai, Kulunda, Priobskoye Plateau, Biya-Chumysh Upland, biodiversity. Introduction Altaisky krai (Altai province) is a large (169,100 km2) administrative area of the Russian Federation, situated at the southern part of West Siberia between 50º and 55º N and 77º and 87º E (Fig. 1).

  • Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R
    STUDIA FORESTALIA SUECICA NR 39 1966 Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. An Analysis of Soviet Competitive Potentialities Skogsekonomi i Sovjet~rnionen rned en unalys av landets potentiella konkurrenskraft by KARL VIICTOR ALGTTERE SICOGSH~GSICOLAN ROYAL COLLEGE OF FORESTRY STOCKHOLM Lord Keynes on the role of the economist: "He must study the present in the light of the past for the purpose of the future." Printed in Sweden by ESSELTE AB STOCKHOLM Foreword Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. is a special study of the forestry sector of the Soviet economy. As such it makes a further contribution to the studies undertaken in recent years to elucidate the means and ends in Soviet planning; also it attempts to assess the competitive potentialities of the U.S.S.R. in international trade. Soviet studies now command a very great interest and are being undertaken at some twenty universities and research institutes mainly in the United States, the United Kingdoin and the German Federal Republic. However, it would seem that the study of the development of the forestry sector has riot received the detailed attention given to other fields. In any case, there have not been any analytical studies published to date elucidating fully the connection between forestry and the forest industries and the integration of both in the economy as a whole. Studies of specific sections have appeared from time to time, but I have no knowledge of any previous study which gives a complete picture of the Soviet forest economy and which could faci- litate the marketing policies of the western world, being undertaken at any university or college.

New data on the caddisflies (Trichoptera) inhabiting rivers and streams of Salair Ridge, south of West Siberia, Russia are provided. Twenty five species are recorded for the territory of Salair Ridge for the first time. Five species, Plectrocnemia conspersa (Curtis, 1834), Anabolia laevis (Zetterstedt, 1840), Limnephilus lunatus Curtis, 1834, Chaetopteryx villosa ( Fabricius, 1798), and Allomyia sajanensis Levanidova, 1967, are new for the south of West Siberia.

Приводятся новые данные по фауне ручейников (Trichoptera) водотоков Салаирского кряжа (юг Западной Сибири, Россия). Двадцать пять видов указаны впервые для Салаирского кряжа.

INTRODUCTION The trichopteran fauna of south of West Siberia is slightly investigated. Since beginning of XX century study of West Siberia trichopteran fauna was focused at Altai Mountains and lower course of the Ob’ River on the north-west (Martynov, 1910, 1929; Lepneva, 1930, 1949; Borisova, 1985).

    Soviet Forest Management and Urban Green Spaces in the Post-Stalinist Press, 1953-1982 Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of History Gregory L. Freeze, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Allison Brown May 2016 Copyright by Allison Brown © 2016 ABSTRACT Soviet Forest Management and Urban Green Spaces in the Post-Stalinist Press, 1953-1982 A thesis presented to the Department of History Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Allison Brown In the decades following Joseph Stalin’s death in 1953, the Soviet government largely continued his policies of accelerated industrialization. This drive for industrial growth had a profound impact on Soviet forests and the industry that was responsible for their management. While certain sectors of the economy, such as the military and space programs, enjoyed significant attention and monetary contributions from the government in the latter half of the twentieth century, the forestry industry was less fortunate. The Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras (1953-82) were plagued by poor communications between state officials and the management structure of the forestry sector, a lack of investment to train specialists and to develop new technologies and techniques, little commitment to waste reduction and more efficient use of resources, and an inability to break “old habits” that had beset that sector of the industry for decades. While the forestry industry struggled to modernize and reorganize, city planners faced challenges in meeting the demands of city-dwellers and state officials, who demanded the inclusion of urban green spaces and forest belts in both old and new cities.

Ninety-six species of nine genera, comprising approximately 60% of the fauna in Siberia and the Far East, are recorded. The spatial pattern formation in the blackfly zonal structures is revealed. There are significant differences between blackfly populations in highland and lowland landscapes. In the highlands, the communities confined to different altitudinal belts are formed. In the lowland of the basin, three community zonal types—steppe, taiga–forest, and tundra—are identified. Significant climatic factors affecting the heterogeneity of the blackflies in the Ob-Irtysh River basin have been estimated.
