Assessing circular migration, formal and informal employment and its spatiotemporal characteristics is a complex methodological and practical task for official statistics. A combination of various data sources, including official statistics, administrative data, and data from mobile operators, may provide new opportunities for obtaining circular migration, formal and informal employment estimates for the purposes of various levels of government, including the level of city management. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the use of administrative data together with the mobile operators’ data can promptly improve the accuracy and informativeness of statistical indicators of the labor market including formal and informal employment, circular migration, etc. The population and employment in Moscow and in the Moscow agglomeration are the subjects of this paper. Authors combine several data sources such as the federal administrative data from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Federal Tax Authority, data from the Moscow city online public services, data from the mobile phone operators, as well as official statistical information provided by Russian Statistic Authority.

  • THE MULTIPLE FACES of TORTURE a Study of the Phenomenon of Torture in Russia
    ACAT, in collaboration with The Committee against Torture & The Public Verdict Foundation THE MULTIPLE FACES OF TORTURE A STUdy OF THE PHEnOMEnOn OF torture In RUSSIA November 2013 ACAT, in collaboration with The Committee against Torture & The Public Verdict Foundation November 2013 THE MULTIPLE FACES OF TORTURE A STUdy OF THE PHEnOMEnOn OF torture In RUSSIA This document was produced with the financial assistance of the European Union. The contents of this document are the sole responsibility of ACAT-France, and under no circumstance may they be deemed to reflect the position of the European Union. A STUDY OF THE PHENOMENON OF TORTURE . RUSSIA 5 Summary In the Russian Federation, the torture phenomenon is today commonplace and deeply rooted in the State institutons. The use of torture and ill-treatment can be observed at all stages of the criminal justice system, from arrest by the police to the life of convicts in penitentiary facilities. Torture is systemic in the country’s police institutions. It is widely used in police custody against individuals who have been arrested or, rightly or wrongly, are suspected of an offence. Its purpose is to quickly secure confessions as part of a wider criminal justice system that is driven by statistics and built on the quest for the highest possible number of convictions. It would appear that police reform in Russia, anticipated by many, is a development that so far remains largely incomplete. In the prison system, the torture phenomenon can be linked both to detention conditions – overcrowding, access to health care and work conditions – and acts deliberately inflicted on detainees by the prison authorities, especially in certain regions and facilities.

  • Nutrient Dynamics Along the Moskva River Under Heavy Pollution and Limited Self- Purification Capacity
    E3S Web of Conferences 163, 05014 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202016305014 IV Vinogradov Conference Nutrient dynamics along the Moskva River under heavy pollution and limited self- purification capacity Maria Tereshina*, Oxana Erina, Dmitriy Sokolov, Lyudmila Efimova, and Nikolay Kasimov Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Geography, GSP-1, 1 Leninskiye Gory, 119991, Moscow, Russia Abstract. An extensive study conducted during the dry summer of 2019 provided a detailed picture of the nutrient content dynamics along the Moskva River. Water sampling at 38 locations on the main river and at 17 of its tributaries revealed a manifold increase in phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations as the river crosses the Moscow metropolitan area, which can be attributed to both direct discharge of poorly treated sewage and nonpoint urban pollution. Even at the Moskva River lower reaches, where the anthropogenic pressure on the river and its tributaries is less pronounced, the inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus content remains consistently high and exceeds the environmental guidelines by up to almost 10 times. This indicates increased vulnerability of the Moskva River ecosystem during periods of low flow, which can be a major factor of eutrophication in the entire Moskva-Oka-Volga system. Comparison of our data with some archive records shows no significant improve in the nutrient pollution of the river since the 1990s, which raises further concern about the effectiveness of water quality management in Moscow urban region. 1 Introduction Anthropogenic nutrient pollution has been considered one of the world’s major environmental problems for decades [1]. Excessive nutrient loading leads to eutrophication of lakes and streams, increasing the risk of harmful algal blooms, causing damage to aquatic ecosystems and impairing water treatment [2].

  • OSW Commentary
    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 284 | 27.08.2018 www.osw.waw.pl A stinking business. Environmental issues, protests and big money in the waste business in Russia Jadwiga Rogoża In recent months, Moscow oblast has seen a series of social protests against environmental problems caused by municipal waste landfills. The waste disposal sites are overloaded, lack adequate safeguards, emit toxic gases and contaminate the groundwater with harmful efflu- ent. The situation is most severe in Moscow oblast because the capital city generates the larg- est volumes of waste; however, the problem itself extends beyond environmental concerns into the economic and social spheres. Waste management in Russia is marked by notorious overloading of legal waste disposal sites and the emergence of illegal waste dumps, inade- quate waste disposal practices leading to air pollution and groundwater contamination which affect local residents, and bad practices by businesses with links to President Vladimir Putin which have monopolised the waste collection sector. The worsening environmental problems, and especially the health conditions suffered by res- idents exposed to waste dump vapours, have triggered social discontent. Residents of many locations outside Moscow have been protesting for months, and in some cases have raised political demands. However, a closer analysis of how the protests in Russia unfolded (and sub- sided) offers little hope that they will bring about any systemic change in waste management or create long-term social effects such as the emergence of mechanisms for civic oversight or a gradual change in the relationship between the state and the citizens. The ‘garbage protests’ seem to be an accurate illustration of the general dynamics of social protests in Russia.

Marshal Semyon Timoshenko was relieved of command in favor of Georgy Zhukov , who had been organizing the defense of Leningrad. In , he was promoted to the rank of Oberleutnant. Cover of Time Magazine 21 September In the course of a year, the Soviet Command goes from offensive to defensive and, finally, at Stalingrad, decisively to the offensive--meanwhile, frequently in desperate circumstances, building the strength and proficiency that will enable it to mount the relentless thrusts of the succeeding years. After the attacks on Poland and Western Europe, campaigns he helped bring to a succesful conclusion, von Bock became Commander-in-Chief of Army Group Center which carried out the main drive on Moscow during Operation Barbarossa and brought the Red Army to the verge of collapse in the great battles of encirclement.

    Chertok ch26 12/21/04 11:36 AM Page 345 Chapter 26 The Institute Nordhausen In early 1946, with Ustinov’s support, General Gaydukov managed to reach an agreement in the Party Central Committee in Moscow and in the Soviet Military Administration in Berlin for a significant expansion of operations in Germany.This had not been easy to do. A considerable portion of the Party and state apparatus involved with policy in Germany had demanded that the work in occupied Germany to restore German technology be curtailed and all Soviet specialists be called back to the Soviet Union no later than January or February 1946. Gaydukov and Ustinov, as well as Artillery Marshall Yakovlev, who supported them, did not agree—they insisted on expanding operations. At the same time, the Institute RABE was becoming the foundation for a significantly more powerful organization. I should mention that the aircraft industry,using the Institute RABE as a model, had gathered German aircraft specialists in the Soviet occupation zone for work in Dessau, using the facilities of the Junkers factories. Only the atomic experts immediately brought Professor Manfred von Ardenne and a small group of specialists to the Soviet Union. (The British had captured the primary developers of the German atomic bomb, headed by Nobel laureate Wer ner Heisenberg.) The Institute RABE had a clearly pronounced emphasis in the field of elec- trical control systems because the institute management (Pilyugin and I from the Russian side and Rosenplänter and later Dr. Hermann and Gröttrup on the German side) consisted of specialists in electrical equipment and control.

  • The Heraldic “Theater” of Russian Cities
    S. ROGATCHEV THE HERALDIC “THEATER” OF RUSSIAN CITIES S. ROGATCHEV THE HERALDIC “THEATER” OF RUSSIAN CITIES Urban Studies and Practices Vol.1 #4, 2016, 47-57 https://doi.org/10.17323/usp14201647-57 Author: Sergei Rogatchev, Ph.D. in Geography, research fellow, Lomonosov Moscow State University. E-mail: rogachev.mgu@gmail Abstract The usurpation of the right to unite the surrounding territories bestowed some exclusive rights upon Moscow. Which other coat of arms apart from that of Moscow could surround itself with such a suite, such an entourage, of serving shields of arms on its heraldic map? An almost ideal social and geographical model is drawn up around the capital by the coats of arms of Moscow’s retinue: all three principal forces of society are gathered in this national nucleus — those being craftsmen, parishioners and warriors — forming the trade, monastic and defense appendages to St. George’s robe. A century ago, the Bolsheviks placed Russia within a chain of catastrophic events and then effectively ring-fenced the country for about seventy years. The article below was first published in Geograffity magazine in the early 1990s when the Iron Curtain finally came down. The emergence of a magazine like Geograffity was a result of cultural claustrophobia, and it was one of the first attempts in the former Soviet Union to expose the world to the ideas of Russian intellectuals who had worked in total isolation for so many years. Geograffity was produced by Quantum Bureau (Russia), a subsidiary of the Russian Academy of Science and a well-known publisher of Quantum magazine, an English language replica of Kvant, an outstanding Soviet journal popularizing the maths and sciences among the youth.
