Project implementation is progressing well with a high level of involvement and commitment demonstrated by all four participating regions - Leningrad, Novgorod, Pskov and Tver oblasts. Disbursement is on schedule, despite an initial slow disbursement due to the longer than expected reviewing Public Disclosure Copy process for the large procurement packages. USD 2.9 million (2.9% of the Loan) has been disbursed since the project was declared effective on June 10, 2011. USD 3,1 million is planned to be disbursed by June 30, 2012 to pay for committed contracts, thus bringing the total disbursement to USD 6.0 million ( 6% of the Loan) Page 1 of 7 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR7331 Implementation of the Integrated Site Development sub-component (Large window) is on track. Under the 1st call for the Large Window (LW) sub-projects, the Ministry Of Culture and participating Oblasts signed 7 sub-project agreements in February-March 2012. The results of the bidding for restoration works at the Tver Putevoy Palace has been approved by the World Bank (WB) during the mission. Contracts for the design of the LW sub-projects in Leningrad, Pskov and Novgorod Oblasts are underway and expected to be signed in July 2012. On December 5, 2011 Leningrad, Pskov, and Novgorod Oblasts assisted by Individual Consultants hired by FISP submitted seven LW Concept Notes under the 2nd LW call (two each in Leningrad and Pskov Oblasts, and three in Novgorod Oblast). Those Concept Notes were approved by the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) in March 2012 for preparation of the full sub-project proposals which are due for submission to FISP on June 15, 2012. The full proposals were communicated to the WB for comments on June 21, 2012, and the IMC decision meeting is planned to take place in September 2012. Progress under the Small Window (Support to State Cultural Institutions Sub-projects) is exceeding expectations, and a high demand is demonstrated by the cultural institutions of all four participating oblasts. The 1st call for applications to the SW was conducted according to schedule and 16 applications have been approved by the IMC on March 22, 2012 (which is double the target value of 8 approved SW sub-projects). FISP and the benefiting cultural institutions have signed respective Agreements on Grant Financing. Tender documents for the approved SW sub-projects are expected to be issued by the end of June 2012. FISP organized a seminar in Novgorod with 58 participants from the 4 regions on May 15-16, 2012 to exchange information on the lessons learned from the SW’s 1st call. Public Disclosure Copy The Leningrad Oblast authorities and FISP informed the Bank in January 2012 that the initial site envisaged for the Multifunctional Museum Facility (MMF) in Priyutino (Vsevolojsk) could not be used due to the presence of high pressure pipeline in a nearby land. The Leningrad oblast promptly identified in January 2012 an alternative site for MMF construction in Rozhdestveno. The Management of Rozhdestveno Museum and local administration prepared a set of documents, including land ownership documentation which has been approved by local authorities and, most importantly, documentation regarding the designation of the land for the “permanent use by the MMF”. The RFP for the preparation of the design and technical tender documents for the MMF were issued to the five shortlisted companies in February 2012. Contract signing is expected to take place in late July/early August 2012. As per the deliverables specified in the TORs, the initial design options for the MMF building should be ready by February 2013.

Это представило новые возможности для международных деловых отношений, и известные компании, такие как датская Бурмэйстер энд Вэйн (В&W), Восточно-Азиатская Компания (EAC) и Компания Грэйт Норсерн Телеграф (GNT) открыли офисы в России и внесли свой вклад в развитие страны. Большое количество скандинавов выехало на Восток в поисках своей удачи в растущей деловой жизни и промышленности России. Среди многочисленных путешественников возникало сильное увлечение культурой страны, что привело к созданию высококачественных коллекций русского искусства. Именно по этой причине сегодня в Скандинавии так много предметов русского антиквариата, некоторые из которых будут выставлены на этом аукционе. Самые значимые из них будут ещё до аукциона выставлены в посольстве Дании в Лондоне во время «Недели Русского Искусства». Для более подробной информации смотри страницу 9.

  • Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/17/2013 GAIN Report Number: RS1335 Russian Federation Post: Moscow Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector Report Categories: Livestock and Products Policy and Program Announcements Agricultural Situation Approved By: Holly Higgins Prepared By: FAS/Moscow Staff Report Highlights: Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector had been in continual decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches. The Russian Federal and oblast governments offer a series of support programs meant to stimulate livestock development in the Russian Federation over the next seven years which are funded at hundreds of billions of Russian rubles (almost $10 billion). These programs are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry. Monies have been allocated for both new construction and modernization of old livestock farms, purchase of domestic and imported of high quality breeding dairy and beef cattle, semen and embryos; all of which should have a direct and favorable impact on livestock genetic exports to Russia through 2020. General Information: Trade Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector has been in decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches which are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry.

  • Vehicle Registration Plates of Russia
    Vehicle registration plates of Russia Russian registration plate, as observed in 2007 -177 stands for Moscow. Russian registration plate, as observed in 2007 -51 stands for Murmansk Oblast. Russian registration plate, as observed in 2004 -78 stands for Saint-Petersburg. Russian registration plate for trailers In Russia, the plate format has changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Soviet plates prior to 1982 were white-on-black. They had combination of four digits, grouped by two and three Cyrillic letters. Rear plate was square with letters located below the numbers. From those letters, first two indicated the region. For example, 75-63 КЛЖ combination referred to a car from the Kaliningrad Region. After 1982 a new black-on-white format for newly registered cars was adopted. The current format uses a letter followed by 3 digits and two more letters. To improve legibility of the numbers for Russian cars abroad, only a small subset of Cyrillic characters that look like Latin characters are used (12 letters: А, В, Е, К, М, Н, О, Р, С, Т, У, Х). Finally, the region number (77, 99, 97, 177 and now 199 for Moscow, 78 and 98 for Saint-Petersburg) and letters "RUS" are included, as well as the national flag (the flag was not used on some of the earliest plates of this format). There is a different format for trailers (4 digits and 2 letters). The standard size for the license plate is 520 mm by 110 mm. Trucks and buses generally have their license numbers painted on them in large letters on the rear of the vehicle, although they also bear license plates.

  • The Role of Language in (Re)Creating the Tatar Diaspora Identity: the Case of the Estonian Tatars
    THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN (RE)CREATING THE TATAR DIASPORA IDENTITY: THE CASE OF THE ESTONIAN TATARS MAARJA KLAAS PhD student Department of Ethnology Institute for Cultural Research and Fine Arts University of Tartu Ülikooli 18, 50090, Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper* focuses on the meanings assigned to the Tatar language among the Tatar diaspora in Estonia. According to interviews with Estonian Tatars, language is an important aspect of Tatar ethnic identity. This paper will track common dis- courses about the Tatar language and the way it is connected to Tatar ethnic iden- tity. Issues concerning the Tatar language are used to demonstrate various ways of enacting Tatarness in Estonia. The paper shows that Estonian Tatars worry about the vitality and purity of Tatar, but for some, marginalisation of dialects is also an issue. People categorised with the same identity labels by themselves and others can experience and enact their Tatarness in a variety of different ways. KEYWORDS: Tatars • identity • diaspora • language • Islam INTRODUCTION The question of the legitimate use and destiny of the Tatar language is emotionally loaded for many Tatars, along with the question of the unity of the Tatars as a nation. This can be seen in a quote by Tatar writer Tufan Mingnullin: Today as well, Tatars are not united. This is why their opinion is not taken into account. I do not blame the Russians at all for what we are. Only we are to blame. Those who lack self-respect are not respected. A docile slave is beaten more often.
