  • RUSSIA: "Extremism" Charges for Possessing Muslim Books, Jehovah's Witness Community Ban Confirmed
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief 20 November 2014 RUSSIA: "Extremism" charges for possessing Muslim books, Jehovah's Witness community ban confirmed By Victoria Arnold, Forum 18 News Service The criminal trial of six Russian Muslims accused of "extremism" for alleged involvement in "Nurdzhular", an organisation which Muslims deny exists, began in Perm on 16 October, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. Two women facing the same charges in Krasnoyarsk will go on trial on 27 November, and another man in Rostov-on-Don is likely to be tried soon after. Four more people are soon to be brought to court on similar charges. Another Muslim from Perm, who reads the works of the late Turkish Muslim theologian Said Nursi, was given a suspended prison sentence in June. Also, the Jehovah's Witness community in Samara - forcibly liquidated on charges of "extremism" - has been unable to overturn the liquidation ruling on 12 November in the Supreme Court. In Taganrog a similar 2009 liquidation also upheld by the Supreme Court has been used to justify banning all Jehovah's Witness activity. Subsequently, seven Jehovah's Witnesses were found guilty of "extremism" in August 2014 for continuing to meet together for prayer and Bible study. The criminal trial of six men accused of "extremism" for alleged involvement in "Nurdzhular", an organisation which Muslims in Russia deny exists, began in the Urals city of Perm on 16 October, Forum 18 News Service has learnt.

  • Women and Men in Taganrog, Russia*
    Labour in Transition: Women and Men in Taganrog, Russia* By Katarina Katz§ Abstract The paper discusses the effect of economic reforms on gender differences in participation rates and earnings in Russia in the early 1990s. Besides national statistics it uses survey data from the city Taganrog, 1989 and 1993/9. Although local, these repeated cross sections provide unique comparable data from Soviet and post- Soviet Russia. Results agree with national statistics in that participation has decreased and unemployment increased for both men and women. The female/male earnings ratio fell from 66% in 1989, to 61% in 1993, at a moment when real wages for the men too have decreased dramatically. Oaxaca-decompostions of the gender gap indicate that, in both years, the greater part is due to differential rewards but that gender differences in hours worked contribute more to the wage gap 1993 than in Soviet times. JEL Classification: J16, J21, J31, J60, P20 Keywords: Russia, gender gap, labour force participation, transition, labour market * This work was done with the support of the Swedish Council for Social Research and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences.

  • Russian Place-Names of 'Hidden' Or 'Indirect' Scottish Origin
    Russian place-names of ‘hidden’ or ‘indirect’ Scottish origin (the case of Hamilton – Khomutov) Alexander Pavlenko and Galina Pavlenko In Russia there are numerous toponyms going back to personal or place names of western European origins. This phenomenon resulted from several waves of massive immigration from the West, first to Muscovite Rus’ and later, in greater numbers, to the Russian Empire. Among the immigrants, most of whom originated from Germany, there was quite a number of Scotsmen – active participants in all the major historical events in both Western and Eastern Europe. The first Scotsmen in Russia, called Shkotskie Nemtsy (literally ‘Scottish Germans’) by locals, belonged to the military class and came to this country either as mercenaries or prisoners of war in the late sixteenth century in the reign of Ivan the Terrible. Most of them were captured during the Livonian War and continued their military service in the Russian troops (Anderson 1990: 37). In the seventeenth century with the accession of the Romanovs dynasty to the throne, Scotsmen started to arrive in Russia in ever increasing numbers. Some of those who abandoned their motherland, driven by circumstances managed to inscribe their names in Russian history as prominent soldiers, engineers, doctors, architects, etc. Scottish mercenaries and adventurers considered the remote Russian lands to be a place where they could build their career and hopefully make a fortune. Of course, as is well known, Russia was only one of a multitude of destinations which Scotsmen sought to reach. The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries saw a more abundant influx of Scots due to the Petrine reforms and a high demand for foreign professionals in all fields (Dukes 1987: 9–23; Cross 1987: 24–46).

  • Russian Federation Date: 9 December 2015
    UA: 278/15 Index: EUR 46/3041/2015 Russian Federation Date: 9 December 2015 URGENT ACTION SIXTEEN MEMBERS OF RELIGIOUS GROUP SENTENCED Sixteen members of the religious group Jehovah’s Witnesses were convicted of “religious extremism” solely for peacefully practising their religious beliefs. On 30 November, a court in the city of Taganrog, in Rostov Oblast, southern Russia, found 16 members of the local community of Jehovah’s Witnesses guilty of organizing and participating in a banned “extremist organization”. Three of them, Nikolai Trotsiuk, Yuri Baklushin and Aleksandr Skvortsov, who are community elders, were given five-and-a-half years’ suspended prison sentences each. A fourth man, also an elder, Aleksei Koptev, was given five years and three months’ suspended prison sentence. The court issued other convicted women and men with heavy fines and ruled that they will not have to pay them as the limitation period for the crime has expired. All were found guilty under Article 282.2 of the Russian Criminal Code (“organization of activities of an extremist organization”). The four elders were also found guilty of involving minors in criminal activities (Article 150 of the Criminal Code). In 2009, a court in Rostov-on-Don, the administrative centre of Rostov Oblast, found the local registered religious community Jehovah’s Witnesses - Taganrog to be an “extremist organization” and closed it down. Since then, its members have not been allowed to congregate and worship, or distribute their publications, many of which, are banned as “extremist” in Russia. The prison sentences will only remain conditional for Nikolai Trotsiuk, Yuri Baklushin, Aleksandr Skvortsov and Aleksei Koptev so long as they do not meet with other Jehovah’s Witnesses for worship.

Yashina2 1 Russian State Geological Exploration University named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze, Moscow, Russia * Corresponding author’s email: ABSTRACT The research on the topic of the dissertation was carried out within the coastal (southern) part of the Azov oblique dissected accumulative-denudated plain and the coastal strip of the coast of the Sea of Azov, as well as the valleys of the lower reaches of the Don and Kalmius rivers. The research area covered the modern territory of Taganrog and Rostov-on-Don cities and a suburban area up to 15–20 km away from the borders of these cities. According to the materials of the USSR soil map, as well as modern schemes of soil zoning in Russia, the study area covers the distribution area of ordinary chernozems and partially southern low-humus chernozems on loess rocks. The main zonal soil studied was ordinary chernozem. Ordinary warm chernozems with a short freezing period, belonging to the Azov-Ciscaucasian province of powerful and super-powerful chernozems, predominate in the soil cover of the Azov inclined plain, extending from the Donets Ridge to the shores of the Sea of Azov and the lower Don River.

The article is devoted to solving the actual problem of creating a comfortable urban environment in the climatic conditions of the southern cities of Russia. The environmental safety of urban areas in the steppe zone can be ensured by forming belts of the «green belt» of the city, based on the use of specific functions of green spaces. The aim of the work was development of an integrated design method for the «green belt» of the city on the example of the territory of Rostov region, based on the analysis of the urban ecological situation, specificity of the regional range of perennial vegetation with the selection of plants that have environmental tolerance to man-made territory. The proposed technique can be used for other physiographic zones of the territory of the Russian Federation on the basis of selection and ranking of environmental and city-forming criteria for designing the «green belt». 1 Introduction Green areas are a tool for creating comfortable living conditions in the cities of the steppe zone of Russia [1, 2]. In urban conditions, in addition to traditional ecological functions, perennial green areas perform a number of specific functions affecting climatic, sanitary and hygienic, aesthetic comfort [3, 4]. Analysis of the state of urban landscaping in Rostov region revealed predominance of the formation of core elements of the «green belt» in the form of parks, squares and boulevards.

  • The Application Potential of Mobile Excursion Applications for the Rural Tourism Development in the Rostov Region
    E3S Web of Conferences 273, 09009 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202127309009 INTERAGROMASH 2021 The application potential of mobile excursion applications for the rural tourism development in the Rostov region Lyudmila Kazmina1, Elena Shevchenko1,*, and Vadim Makarenko1 1Don State Technical University, Gagarina Sq., 1, Rostov-on-Don, 344003, Russia Abstract. The present article is concerned with usability of smartphone applications in the field of tourism and excursions to expand rural tourism in the territory of the Rostov region. Analysis of the market of smartphone touristic applications, their relevance in regard to various parameters (preferred territories, user age), geography of arrival, growth rate of user count. Recommendations on the development of smartphone application usage in the field of rural tourism with consideration of the existing possibilities and prospects. 1 Introduction Smartphone applications are currently gaining in high popularity. They are actively used in various sectors, including tourism. Such applications are those innovations that make it possible to more actively develop both organized tourism, but also self-guided tours and excursions. It is especially important to develop mobile touristic applications in rural areas. In rural areas that have tourist potential, but do not have organized tourist routes and excursions, it is important to attract self-guided tourists by means of mobile applications. Rural tourism is able to have a positive effect on the development of the local economy, replenishing the budget, developing related industries (trade, public catering, transport), as well as reducing social tension through the creation of jobs. The purpose of this article is to study the prospects for using smartphone touristic excursion applications in the development of rural tourism in the Rostov region.
