  • 4.3 National Holidays As a Multiplier of Ethno-Tourism in the Komi Republic
    Community development 161 4.3 National holidays as a multiplier of ethno-tourism in the Komi Republic Galina Gabucheva This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7557/5.3210 Introduction The Komi Republic has a vast territory, and a rich historical and cultural heritage. There is untouched wildness in most regions, which is a prerequisite for the development of various forms of tourism. A relatively new, but actively developing, sphere of tourism industry in the republic is ethnic tourism linked to the lifestyle and traditions of the Komi people. People increasingly want not just to travel in comfort, but also through a special experience where they learn and try something new. How did our ancestors live without electricity? How did they stoke the stove and light up the house? What tools and objects did they use in everyday life? How did they cultivate crops, hunt, and fish? How did they conduct holidays and feasts, what did they drink and eat, how did they sing and dance? Due to the geographic isolation of the Komi Republic, this Northern European ethnic culture is preserved in the form of traditions and customs, ideas about the world and beliefs, used instruments of labour, clothing and housing, monuments of antiquity, and legends and epic tales. This certainly provides a good basis for the development of ethno-cultural tourism in our region. Ethno-tourism in Komi Today, a number of ethno-tourism projects have been developed by some travel agencies within the republic.

  • JOINT STATEMENT of INDIGENOUS SOLIDARITY for ARCTIC PROTECTION
    JOINT STATEMENT of INDIGENOUS SOLIDARITY for ARCTIC PROTECTION We the Peoples of the North have for too long experienced the oppression of our Peoples and the barbaric destruction of our land. It is time that we join forces and demand that the oil companies and the Arctic States change their path and start to listen to the voices of the Indigenous Peoples residing in these lands. The Peoples of the North will no longer be bought with dimes and cents to stand silently by while the oil companies destroy our native land. Our culture and history cannot be bought off and replaced with pipelines and drill rigs. Our way of living defines who we are and we will stand up and fight for our nature and environment. Too many have been reduced to depend on the generosity of the oil companies. Our rights and ability to sustain ourselves must not be trampled by others’ endless hunger for profits. Our lands and culture must be preserved for the generations to come. If divided, we will not be able to withstand the pressure from oil producing companies to open up our homes for destruction. Today we gather our forces and refuse to continue to stand silently by, witnessing the destruction of our land. We stand together in our call for: • A ban on all offshore oil drilling in the Arctic shelf. We cannot accept the ecological risks and destructive impacts of a spill on our lands and in our seas. The irresponsible practices of oil companies everywhere have provided us with more than enough evidence that oil spills in the Arctic seas will be inevitable.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

  • A-Tale-Of-Two-Arctic-Cities -Vorkuta-And-Salekhard.Pdf
    ● Vorkuta and Salekhard are two Russian cities in the Arctic. Vorkuta, once a Gulag prison camp and booming coal town, suffers from a poor economy and a declining population. Salekhard, on the other hand, is undergoing its own boom through the influx of private investment and continued state support of the natural gas industry and amid rising oil and gas prices since the early 2000s. Through a comparison of the two cities, Suter demonstrates how cities contend with drastic boom-bust cycles, shifting demands for natural resources, political upheaval, and climate change. ● Vorkuta was a once-thriving single industry city built around explosive demand for mineral sources by exploiting prison labor ● What is the relationship between the natural environment, changing demand for natural resources, and the urban landscapes of Vorkuta and Salekhard? How do historical changes play out in a city’s physical landscape? ● What caused Vorkuta’s decline? Will Salekhard one day meet the same fate as Vorkuta? ● How did the same historical events hit the two cities differently? How can you facilitate and encourage urban growth while avoiding the pitfalls that caused Vorkuta’s decline? ● Labytnangi is highly urbanized and infrastructure is adapted to the weather of the region. For example, buildings are connected by above-ground pipelines to isolate heat, preventing infrastructure from thawing the permafrost, which functions like bedrock, below. ● Salekhard, a nearby city, is the capital of the oil and gas rich Yamal-Nents Autonomous Okrug (YNAO). The Russian state-owned natural gas producer Gazprom is highly active in the region. The influx of capital from the oil and natural gas industries have enabled massive transformations in housing, luxury developments, and modern facilities.

  • How to Turn a Reindeer Pasture Into an Oil Well, and Vice Versa: Transfer of Land, Compensation and Reclamation in the Komi Republic
    First published in People and the Land. Pathways to Reform in Post-Soviet Siberia, edited by Erich Kasten, 2002, 125–147. Berlin: Dietrich Reimer Verlag — Electronic edition for www.siberian-studies.org How to Turn a Reindeer Pasture into an Oil Well, and Vice Versa: Transfer of Land, Compensation and Reclamation in the Komi Republic JOACHIM OTTO HABECK Over the last fi fteen years, many books, articles, reports and fi lms have been devoted to the issue of confl icting forms of land-use in the Russian North, namely the extraction of mineral resources versus the economic activities of the indigenous inhabitants.1 Far smaller is the number of publications dealing with the question of the transfer of land2 which, from my point of view, is essential for a deeper understanding of such confl icts. In this context, I seek to explain how it actually happens that an area allotted to reindeer-herding enterprises is turned into an area to be explored and exploited by the oil industry. I will look at the legal and other political aspects of this procedure, its actual implementation and the actors involved in it: the oil companies, the reindeer-herding enterprises and the authorities that are to negotiate the shift in land tenure. I will show that the possibilities for the reindeer herders themselves to participate in this process are very restricted; and even in future this will not change signifi cantly. Initiatives for attempting to secure their rights to land and resources will come from external (including international) actors, but hardly from the actual reindeer herders, although they are the persons most affected.

Mobilization facilities of the GULAG allowed creating fuel and energy sources in the North-East of the country in short terms. Due to the GULAG, industries were being developed in the district without any prerequisites. Activities of the victimized population produced fulfillment of important innovative projects at the world level for that time. Primitive methods were often used for the creation of ambitious and high- tech projects with a great portion of manual labor. Forced migration brought about growth in population in the district, forced growth in the urban population, and rapid development of the area. Meanwhile, urbanization process proceeded spontaneously, without taking into consideration some of the possible negative effects of towns’ development having appeared at the camp centers. The need to relocate population from the North is a serious modern problem dating back to the GULAG. Industrial development of the area was followed by the attempt at making life of the locals a little bit more civilized: the victimized population created a health-care system in the Northern districts of the Komi Republic, as well as a personnel-training system, cultural institutions (theaters, social clubs, libraries, publishing houses) and education.

Any use of trade names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. government. 1999 1 Consulting Geologist, Contractor to U. S. Geological Survey, Denver, Colorado Page 1 of 40 The Timan-Pechora Basin Province of Northwest Arctic Russia: Domanik – Paleozoic Total Petroleum System2 Sandra J. Lindquist, Consulting Geologist Contractor to U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO March, 1999 FOREWORD This report was prepared as part of the World Energy Project of the U.S. Geological Survey. In the project, the world was divided into eight regions and 937 geologic provinces. The provinces have been ranked according to the discovered oil and gas volumes within each (Klett and others, 1997). Then, 76 "priority" provinces (exclusive of the U.S. and chosen for their high ranking) and 26 "boutique" provinces (exclusive of the U.S. and chosen for their anticipated petroleum richness or special regional economic importance) were selected for appraisal of oil and gas resources. The petroleum geology of these priority and boutique provinces is described in this series of reports. The Timan- Pechora Basin Province ranks 22nd in the world, exclusive of the U.S. The purpose of this effort is to aid in assessing the quantities of oil, gas, and natural gas liquids that have the potential to be added to reserves within the next 30 years.
