The study also adds organic carbon and uncertainty estimates. Russia's black carbon emissions are estimated at 688 Gg. Russian policies on flaring and on-road transport appear to have significantly reduced black carbon emissions recently. Using the new inventory, the study estimates Arctic forcing. article info abstract Article history: This study presents a comprehensive review of estimated black carbon (BC) emissions in Russia from a Received 14 September 2016 range of studies. Russia has an important role regarding BC emissions given the extent of its territory Received in revised form above the Arctic Circle, where BC emissions have a particularly pronounced effect on the climate.

Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals 109
Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals 109 Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals: Continuity and Change Jeanmarie Rouhier-Willoughby University of Kentucky Про похороны интереснее рассказывать, потому что в похоронном обряде сохранились традиции глубже всего. Потому что тут, какими бы ни были люди далекими от всего, образованными, страшными консерваторами, тут надо все соблюсти. It is more interesting to talk about funerals because, in the funerary ritual, traditions have been preserved best of all. Because here, no matter how far people were from everything, whether educated, whether frightfully conservative, here everything has to be observed. So said Ekaterina Z., an informant from Novosibirsk, born in 1978. While Ekaterina’s opinion has some merit, as we will see, the urban Russian funeral has not been a stable ritual throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. In fact, it reflects attitudes from both the Soviet period and the post-Soviet period, attitudes which demonstrate how social values have changed over these periods. This paper is based on thirty interviews about funerals with residents of Novosibirsk and Vladimir, Russia (or with emigres to America). The informants ranged in age from 26 to 73 years of age and included 25 women and 5 men. 27 were Russian; the remaining three identified themselves as Tatar, Bashkir or Mordvin. They are representatives of the urban working and middle classes; most attended VUZy (institutions of higher education). 17 were from Novosibirsk and 13 from Vladimir. Most of the funerals they described took place in those locations between 1966 and 2003, although one funeral took place in Chita. In order to evaluate the validity of Ekaterina’s statement, we must first examine the traditional 19th century village funeral. -

Correspondence to: J. C. Per´ e´ ([email protected]) 1 Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | Abstract In this work, impact of aerosol solar extinction on the photochemistry over eastern Eu- rope during the 2010 wildfires episode is discussed for the period from 5 to 12 August 2010, which coincides to the peak of fire activity. The methodology is based on an 5 on-line coupling between the chemistry-transport model CHIMERE (extended by an aerosol optical module) and the radiative transfer code TUV. Results of simulations in- dicate an important influence of the aerosol solar extinction, in terms of intensity and spatial extent, with a reduction of the photolysis rates of NO2 and O3 up to 50 % (in day- time average) along the aerosol plume transport. At a regional scale, these changes in 10 photolysis rates lead to a 3–15 % increase in the NO2 daytime concentration and to an ozone reduction near the surface of 1–12 %. -
