The suc- cessful work of our Human Resources department and the Company’s charitable activities have been acknowledged throughout Russia.

Modern economic and geographical characteristics and prospects of development of environmen- tal protection infrastructure in the Baikal region of Russia. Quaestiones Geographicae 30(2), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań 2011, pp. 81–86, 2 figs, 3 tables. DOI 10.2478/v10117-011-0020-2, ISBN 978-83-62662-62-3, ISSN 0137-477X. ABSTRACT : In the administrative division of Russia, the Baikal region is traditionally considered as embracing three parts: the Irkutsk oblast’, the Republic of Buryatia, and Zabaikalsky Kray. Its area is three times larger than that of France (1.6 million km²), but its population size and density are typical of “the Siberian depth of the coun- try” (4.6 million people, under 3 persons/km²). One of the most important global features of a part of this region – the Baikal Natural Territory – is to ensure the preservation of Lake Baikal as a World Heritage Site. A strategy of environmentally oriented land use determines an adequate level of development of ecological infrastructure and its most important sector – environmental protection infrastructure (EPI). The article presents an analysis of the current infrastructure for managing solid waste, and proposes a forecast scenario of its development with the use of the gravity model in the EPI sector involving recycling collection points.

  • Irkutsk's Cold Spring by Gregory Feiffer
    Irkutsk's Cold Spring By Gregory Feiffer IRKUTSK, Eastern Siberia Stepping onto the airfield five time zones east of Moscow, I braced myself for the cold. Minus 12 degrees Celsius in April was a rude shock nonetheless. On top of that came snow brought by winds sweeping the vast continental steppe, altering direction to change the weather by bringing blizzards one minute and bright sun the next. "If only we didn't have to suffer through the winter each year," an Irkutsk native glumly told me later, "then we'd have far fewer problems." Of course, it would be easier to envision our solar system without the sun, so central is winter to life here. I wasn't thinking about weather patterns initially while rattling across the Irkutsk airfield at five in the morning, however. I was breathing sighs of relief that I was finally out of earshot of an angry and intricately made-up female fel- low passenger on whom I'd very recently spilled my one glass of Aeroflot water while getting up to visit the toilet. Good I hadn't opted for red wine. My sensitivity to the climate picked up again when the old ZIL truck pulling the ancient airfield shuttle stalled while shifting gears in front of the airport's three equally ancient military Tupolev cargo planes. By the time got inside the main building accessible only after leaving the airfield and finding one's way intuitively to the front entrance I was freezing. assumed that since I'd flown from Moscow, I needed the domestic-flights building.

    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.

  • An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia's Largest
    An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia’s Largest Public Companies Andrei Rakitin Milena Barsukova Arina Mazunova Translated from Russian August 2020 Key Results According to information disclosed by 109 of Russia’s largest public companies: • “Classic” board compositions of 11, nine, and seven seats prevail • The total number of persons on Boards of the companies under study is not as low as it might seem: 89% of all Directors were elected to only one such Board • Female Directors account for 12% and are more often elected to the audit, nomination, and remuneration committees than to the strategy committee • Among Directors, there are more “humanitarians” than “techies”, while the share of “techies” among chairs is greater than across the whole sample • The average age for Directors is 53, 56 for Chairmen, and 58 for Independent Directors • Generation X is the most visible on Boards, and Generation Y Directors will likely quickly increase their presence if the development of digital technologies continues • The share of Independent Directors barely reaches 30%, and there is an obvious lack of independence on key committees such as audit • Senior Independent Directors were elected at 17% of the companies, while 89% of Chairs are not independent • The average total remuneration paid to the Board of Directors is RUR 69 million, with the difference between the maximum and minimum being 18 times • Twenty-four percent of companies disclosed information on individual payments made to their Directors. According to this, the average total remuneration is approximately RUR 9 million per annum for a Director, RUR 17 million for a Chair, and RUR 11 million for an Independent Director The comparison of 2020 findings with results of a similar study published in 2012 paints an interesting dynamic picture.

  • On the State of Conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Property Lake Baikal (Russian Federation, No. 754) in 2014 1. Response
    On the State of Conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Property Lake Baikal (Russian Federation, No. 754) in 2014 1. Response of the Russian Federation with regard to Resolution No. 37 СОМ 7В.22 adopted by the World Heritage Committee. Concerning the activities of Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill Resolution of the RF Government related to the termination of recurring operations at Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill (hereinafter referred to as “BPPM”) is mainly caused by the intention to eliminate the negative impact of environmentally unsound production to a unique ecosystem of Lake Baikal and necessity of the Russian Federation to perform its obligations related to Lake Baikal conservation as UNESCO World Heritage property. Issues related to legislative and regulatory support are reflected in the Federal Law “On the Protection of Lake Baikal” and Resolution of the RF Government No. 643 “On Approval of the List of Activities Prohibited in the Central Ecological Zone of Lake Baikal Natural Area” (hereinafter referred to as “Resolution No. 643”, “List”) as of August 30, 2001 adopted according to the law specified prohibitions and restrictions of business activities to be taken into account when developing the plan for economy modernization of Baikalsk one-factory town. The RF Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has made arrangements to evaluate the possibility to exclude separate business activities from the List and subsequent to the results of this work the Government of the Russian Federation adopted its Resolution No. 159 as of February 28, 2014 “On Introducing Changes in the List of Activities Prohibited in the Central Ecological Zone of Lake Baikal Natural Area”.
