Against the background of continued anti-Russian sanctions, the arrival of a new administration in Washington, and the deteriorating situation in the Middle East, especially in Syria, Russia and China continue to build comprehensive coopera- tion. Close partnership ties between both nations have been significantly bol- stered by the “personal factor,” as the leaders of Russia and China have proven to be quite at ease with each other, generating a common agenda for a range of global and regional issues. During this period of analysis, the leaders met several times. Particularly note- worthy was the President of the Russian Federation’s visit to Beijing in June 2016, and meetings between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at a G20 summit in Hang- zhou in September 2016, and on the margins of the BRICS summit in Goa in October 2016. Several events that are important to Russian and Chinese political life are taking place in 2017. The Communist Party of China will hold its 19th National Congress in the autumn, while Russia is gearing up for a presidential election. On May 14–15, 2017, Beijing hosted the “Belt and Road” forum for international coopera- tion, which will take place in the Chinese capital once again in 2019. The forum is emerging as a new standing institution for global economic governance, with an agenda that includes some of the matters traditionally discussed at the Asia- Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and G20 summits: trade liberalization and economic development, Eurasian integration processes, and so forth. The President of the Russian Federation participated in the forum as a guest of honour and gave a speech directly after the President of the People’s Republic of China, about the role of the Greater Eurasian Partnership. This confirmed the existence of a strategic consensus between Beijing and Moscow on the outlook for Eurasia. President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, paid an offi- cial visit to Moscow in July 2017, yielding new important bilateral agreements. In September 2017, China will host a BRICS summit, where the leaders of both nations will once again have an opportunity to hold talks and verify whether they continue to be on the same page regarding important issues. The matter of connecting the Belt and Road Initiative, a key overland link of Chi- na’s mega project, to the Eurasian Economic Union, is directly tied to another, more global process: the radical reshaping of international relations in Eurasia and a renewal of the Russia–China

Introduction to the Greater Tumen Region The Tumen River starts its life over 2,000m above sea level in majestic Tian Chi, a volcanic crater lake surrounded by jagged, snow-dappled peaks. It then proceeds northeast on a gentle, 500km-long journey, one that sees its fish-filled waters pass through three time zones, and brushing against three national borders before emptying into the sea.

Evgeny Ivanovich Shamray1*, Andrey Vasilyevich Taskin2, Sergey Igorevich Ivannikov1, and Alexander Alekseevich Yudakov1. 1 Institute of chemistry FEB RAS, 690022, Russia, Vladivostok, Prosp. 100-letya Vladivostoka, 159. 2Far Eastern Federal University, 690091, Russia, Vladivostok, Sukhanova str., 8. ABSTRACT The study of a large array of ash waste from landfills of energy sector enterprises in Primorsky Territory was made. Data on the content of gold and silver in the ash and slug waste of some energy enterprises in Primorsky Territory was given. Group of samples with high content of gold and silver was found. Silver content was found within 0.5-29.7 g/t limits. Gold content was found within 0.004–0.45 g/t limits. The information on the chemical composition of the investigated slag samples was given. Based on these data, the method of separation of ash and slag waste in the individual mineral fractions was proposed. The possibility of gold concentration in the non-magnetic fraction of the slag cleared of silt, clay, black charcoal and magnetic minerals was shown. Keywords: technogenic deposits, wastes of energy enterprises, ash and slag waste (ASW), gold, silver, atomic and absorption analysis, neutron-activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence analysis. *Corresponding Author November – December 2016 RJPBCS 7(6) Page No. 156 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION Ash and slag waste (ASW) is formed during coal combustion process in energy producing enterprises. For example, in recent years, yearly inflow of ASW into the ash and slag disposal areas of Primorsky Territory is up to 3.0 million tons.

  • THE POLITICAL SYSTEM – CHANGES DURING the ELECTION CAMPAIGNS the Search for a New Political Model
    Part 1. THE POLITICAL SYSTEM – CHANGES DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGNS The search for a new political model. Putin as the national leader – a change in status and a possible change in the configuration of the political system. A change in the weight of different political institutions All of 2007 was characterized by the competition between two projects that can conditionally be called “successor” and “third term”. At that, supporters and opponents of the latter scheme belonged to different groups among the elites, which added a distinctive sharpness to the situation and this manifested itself not only in an ideological but also an administrative confrontation. The search for a place for Vladimir Putin in the “post-Putin” system of checks and balances started after the 1st of October when he agreed to head the United Russia party list. Before this, in spite of many statements by the head of state himself about his unwillingness to go against the Constitution and run for president for a third term, projects that entailed changing the Constitution predominated. The main lobbyists for the “third term” project were the so called “siloviki” or the security wing of the presidential administration that were headed by deputy head of the presidential administration, Igor Sechin. In the media, the main voice on this topic was the head of the Federation Council and leader of the party Fair Russia Sergey Mironov. This politician is considered to be in the orbit of this group of elites. Nevertheless, his wavering to meet the “party line” was evident. In particular, at the end of March in 2007, he increased his activity in this direction1.
