This article covers a brief overview of the developing community from medieval through modern times, and then focuses the majority of its attention on the church ar- chitecture of Belozersk. This rich tradition of material culture increases our knowledge about medieval and early modern Rus’ and Russia. Keywords Beloozero – Belozersk – Russian Architecture – Church Architecture The origins and early location of Belozersk (now a regional town in the center of Vologda oblast’) are subject to discussion, but it is uncontestably one of the oldest recorded settlements among the eastern Slavs. “Beloozero” is mentioned in the Primary Chronicle (or Chronicle of Bygone Years; Povest’ vremennykh let) under the year 862 as one of the five towns granted to the Varangian brothers Riurik, Sineus and Truvor, invited (according to the chronicle) to rule over the eastern Slavs in what was then called Rus’.1 1 The Chronicle text in contemporary Russian translation is as follows: “B гoд 6370 (862). И изгнaли вapягoв зa мope, и нe дaли им дaни, и нaчaли caми coбoй влaдeть, и нe былo cpeди ниx пpaвды, и вcтaл poд нa poд, и былa у ниx уcoбицa, и cтaли вoeвaть дpуг c дpугoм. И cкaзaли: «Пoищeм caми ceбe князя, кoтopый бы влaдeл нaми и pядил пo pяду и пo зaкoну». Пoшли зa мope к вapягaм, к pуcи. Te вapяги нaзывaлиcь pуcью, кaк дpугиe нaзывaютcя швeды, a иныe—нopмaнны и aнглы, a eщe иныe гoты—вoт тaк и эти. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/18763316-04402001Downloaded from Brill.com10/05/2021 10:10:06AM via free access <UN> Monuments of Church Architecture in Belozersk 261 Whatever the details of its origins and development, it is clear from the name itself that the town was always closely connected with White Lake (Beloe Ozero), a large, strategically important body of fresh water in north- western Russia. Although much smaller than Lakes Ladoga and Onega, White Lake is a pivotal link between those two lakes and the Russian heartland. At its northwestern end the lake was fed by the short Kovzha River, from the lake of the same name. On the southeast end White Lake drains into the Sheksna, a left tributary of the Volga. Furthermore, White Like is relatively close to Lake Vozhe to the northeast, which flows due north into Lake Lacha and the Onega River.2 That river, in turn, provided a direct route to the White Sea and the So- lovetskii Archipelago. It must be emphasized that the Beloozero briefly ruled by Sineus and sub- sequently by Riurik occupied a very different location from the present town of Belozersk. Some accounts placed the original settlement on the north shore of Beloe Ozero (White Lake) near the later Kisnema village, also known as Troitskoe.3 According to this version the original settlement mentioned in the Cкaзaли pуcи чудь, cлaвянe, кpивичи и вecь: «Зeмля нaшa вeликa и oбильнa, a пopядкa в нeй нeт. Пpиxoдитe княжить и влaдeть нaми». И избpaлиcь тpoe бpaтьeв co cвoими poдaми, и взяли c coбoй вcю pуcь, и пpишли пpeждe вceгo к cлaвянaм. И пocтaвили гopoд Лaдoгу. И ceл cтapший, Pюpик, в Лaдoгe, a дpугoй—Cинeуc,—нa Бeлoм oзepe, a тpeтий, Tpувop,—в Избopcкe. И oт тex вapягoв пpoзвaлacь Pуccкaя зeмля. Чepeз двa гoдa умepли Cинeуc и бpaт eгo Tpувop. И пpинял вcю влacть oдин Pюpик и пpишeл к Ильмeню, и пocтaвил гopoд нaд Boлxoвoм, и нaзвaл eгo Hoвгopoд, и ceл тут княжить, и cтaл paздaвaть мужaм cвoим вoлocти и гopoдa cтaвить—тoму Пoлoцк, этoму Pocтoв, дpугoму Бeлooзepo. Bapяги в этиx гopoдax—нaxoдники, a кopeнныe житeли в Hoвгopoдe—cлaвянe, в Пoлoцкe—кpивичи, в Pocтoвe—мepя, в Бeлooзepe—вecь, в Mуpoмe—муpoмa, и нaд тeми вceми влacтвoвaл Pюpик.

By the tenth century a new Beloozero was established on the Sheksna River not far from southeast corner of Beloe Ozero, near the subsequent village of Krokhino.4 The inhabitants of this incarnation of Beloozero were apparently a mixture of Slavs and a Finno-Ugric tribe known as Ves’ (predecessors of the Veps), with Slavs predominating by the eleventh century. Although Kiev was the political and religious center of Rus’ during this period, the vast northern territories, including the Beloozero region, were dominated by the commercial center of Novgorod. By the end of the eleventh century, however, Beloozero moved into the orbit of the Rostov-Suzdal’ principality (including the city of Vladimir), which be- came the major power in central Russia during the twelfth century. That power would be greatly eroded by the force of the Mongol invasion of 1237–1238. For- tunately, the Mongol armies did not reach distant Beloozero, and the town was to serve as a haven for those fleeing the devastation and subsequent decades of disorder. Among the first of these was Bishop Kirill ii of Rostov, who briefly took refuge in Beloozero in 1238 before returning to collect for burial the head- less corpse of the Rostov Prince Iurii Vsevolodovich, killed in battle with the Mongols on the River Sit’.5 With the weakening of the Rostov-Suzdal’ principality in the wake of the di- saster on the River Sit’, Beloozero assumed greater autonomy as a principality during the reign of Gleb Vasil’kovich (1237–78), designated prince of Beloozero as an infant in 1238. Despite the relative length and stability of Gleb’s reign (in the final two years of his life he also assumed the title of Prince of Rostov), Beloozero’s very remoteness mitigated against its playing a leading role in the complex and prolonged political struggle for dominance in central Russia.6 4 This site has now been flooded by the construction of the Sheksna River Reservoir in con- nection with the expansion of the Volga-Balt Canal, a project that effectively ended promis- ing archeological research into the settlement founded in the tenth-century. For a survey of archeological work, including that of Golubeva, at the Sheksna site, see N.A. Makarov, S.D. Zakharov, “Drevnosti zatoplennogo Beloozera,” in Iu. S. Vasil’ev, ed., Belozer’e: Istoriko- literaturnyi al’manakh, Vyp. 1 (Vologda: Rus’, 1994), 7–15, with particular reference to 7–8. 5 Krill ii served as bishop of Rostov from 1230 until his death in 1262. See Russkii biograficheskii slovar’, vol. 8 (St. Petersburg: Tipografiia glavnogo upravleniia udelov, 1897), 663–64. 6 Medieval chronicle references to the Beloozero princes, including Prince Gleb Vasil’kovich, are compiled in Iu.

By the fourteenth century it was subsumed by the rapidly expanding Moscow principality, first under the reign of Ivan Kalita (1288–1340; prince of Mos- cow from 1325) and then more firmly in the reign of Grand Prince Dmitrii Donskoi (1350–1389). A major factor in the waning of Beloozero’s autonomy was the death of most of the Belozersk princely line at the epochal battle against the Tatars on Kulikovo [Snipe] Field in 1380. In 1389 Dmitrii bequeathed the territory, as well as Mozhaisk, to his son Andrei (d. 1432), whose son Mikhail (d. 1485) deeded it to Ivan iii (the Great). Ivan received the town into his domains in 1486 and at that point Beloozero formally became a part of the Muscovite principality.7 By the second part of the fourteenth century, Beloozero’s location shifted yet again. The traditional explanation for the shift was the sudden decline of the population of the Sheksna River site following an outbreak of plague in 1352 and 1363–1364.8 However, some specialists have brought persuasive evi- dence for the coexistence of two towns until the fifteenth century: the “Old Town,” located on the Sheksna, and the new town, situated at the present site of Belozersk.9 This theory suggests that the earlier town reached its apo- gee not in the middle of the thirteenth century, but in the second half of the twelfth century.

The research is based on the conviction that the development of the nonprofit sector is crucial for the regional socio-economic system and depends upon civic engagement. The results of an analysis of available statistical data and a sociological survey conducted in one of the Russian regions reveal that the share of the Russians engaged in volunteer activities is low; over 80% of the population do not participate in public activities; less than 10% have definite knowledge of working nonprofit organizations. The study allowed identifying three groups of the main barriers and formulating some recommendations for their overcoming. Keywords Russia; Nonprofit sector; Nongovernmental organization; Civic participation; Civic engagement. Introduction Sustainable development of Russian regions requires the fullest use of their internal potential. As the public and private sectors cannot meet all demands concerning the provision of high living standards for all groups of the population, it is necessary for local authorities to find new opportunities for effective and mutually beneficial cooperation with other economic actors. In Russian regions, in this regard a new trend becomes evident government starts to pay more attention to organizations of the third (nonprofit) sector.

  • Russia's Arctic Cities
    ? chapter one Russia’s Arctic Cities Recent Evolution and Drivers of Change Colin Reisser Siberia and the Far North fi gure heavily in Russia’s social, political, and economic development during the last fi ve centuries. From the beginnings of Russia’s expansion into Siberia in the sixteenth century through the present, the vast expanses of land to the north repre- sented a strategic and economic reserve to rulers and citizens alike. While these reaches of Russia have always loomed large in the na- tional consciousness, their remoteness, harsh climate, and inaccessi- bility posed huge obstacles to eff ectively settling and exploiting them. The advent of new technologies and ideologies brought new waves of settlement and development to the region over time, and cities sprouted in the Russian Arctic on a scale unprecedented for a region of such remote geography and harsh climate. Unlike in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of other countries, the Russian Far North is highly urbanized, containing 72 percent of the circumpolar Arctic population (Rasmussen 2011). While the largest cities in the far northern reaches of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland have maximum populations in the range of 10,000, Russia has multi- ple cities with more than 100,000 citizens. Despite the growing public focus on the Arctic, the large urban centers of the Russian Far North have rarely been a topic for discussion or analysis. The urbanization of the Russian Far North spans three distinct “waves” of settlement, from the early imperial exploration, expansion of forced labor under Stalin, and fi nally to the later Soviet development 2 | Colin Reisser of energy and mining outposts.

    REVISED DRAFT EXPERIENCES WITH INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS FOR IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT ICID TASK FORCE ON INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS Edited by Jancy Vijayan and Bart Schultz August 2007 International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) 48 Nyaya Marg, Chanakyapuri New Delhi 110 021 INDIA Tel: (91-11) 26116837; 26115679; 24679532; Fax: (91-11) 26115962 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.icid.org 1 Foreword FOREWORD Inter Basin Water Transfers (IBWT) are in operation at a quite substantial scale, especially in several developed and emerging countries. In these countries and to a certain extent in some least developed countries there is a substantial interest to develop new IBWTs. IBWTs are being applied or developed not only for irrigated agriculture and hydropower, but also for municipal and industrial water supply, flood management, flow augmentation (increasing flow within a certain river reach or canal for a certain purpose), and in a few cases for navigation, mining, recreation, drainage, wildlife, pollution control, log transport, or estuary improvement. Debates on the pros and cons of such transfers are on going at National and International level. New ideas and concepts on the viabilities and constraints of IBWTs are being presented and deliberated in various fora. In light of this the Central Office of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) has attempted a compilation covering the existing and proposed IBWT schemes all over the world, to the extent of data availability. The first version of the compilation was presented on the occasion of the 54th International Executive Council Meeting of ICID in Montpellier, France, 14 - 19 September 2003.

    E3S Web of Conferences 163, 02008 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202016302008 IV Vinogradov Conference Use of classification algorithms for the ice jams forecasting problem Natalia Semenova1*, Alexey Sazonov1,2, Inna Krylenko1,2,andNatalia Frolova1 1 Lomonosov Moscow State University, GSP-1, Leninskie Gory, 119991, Moscow, Russia 2 Water Problems Institute of the Russian Academy of Science, Gubkina st., 3, 119333, Moscow, Russia Abstract. In the research the prediction of occurrence of ice jam based on the K Nearest Neighbor method was considered by example of the city of Velikiy Ustyug, located at the confluence of the Sukhona and Yug Rivers. A forecast accuracy of 82% was achieved based on selected most significant hydrological and meteorological features. 1 Introduction Floods gain a lead among natural disasters both in terms of area of distribution and damage caused for Russia. Flooding can be caused by snow cover melting, a large amount of precipitation, the effects of surges, a breakthrough of a dam, etc. For northern rivers, including rivers of the European part of Russia, ice jams often cause floods. The goal of this research is developing a methodology for predicting the occurrence of ice jam based on the machine learning method. The place of confluence of the Sukhona and Yug Rivers, where the city of Velikiy Ustyug is located, was chosen as the object of study. The probability of the ice jams formation in this area is 43.5% according to statistics. Their occurrence leads to an increase of water level and flooding of residential and utility buildings. 2 Data and methods Over the past two decades, there has been a huge leap in the development of computer technology and machine learning, which has allowed the application of various machine learning algorithms to a large number of applied problems, including the prediction of flood characteristics.
