New Data on the Geographic Distribution and Ecology of the Ukrainian Brook Lamprey, Eudontomyzon Mariae (Berg, 1931)
Folia Zool. – 55(3): 282–286 (2006) New data on the geographic distribution and ecology of the Ukrainian brook lamprey, Eudontomyzon mariae (Berg, 1931) 1, 2 3 Boris A. Levin and Juraj HoLčík 1 Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninskii prospect 33, 119071 Moscow, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Present address: Institute of Biology of Inland Water, Russian Academy of Sciences, Borok, Yaroslavl’ province, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] 3 Institute of Zoology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Dúbravská cesta 9, 845 06 Bratislava, Slovak Republic; Present address: Drotárska cesta 19, 811 02 Bratislava, Slovak Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Received 10 March 2006; Accepted 18 August 2006 A b s t r a c t . new records of the Ukrainian brook lamprey Eudontomyzon mariae (Berg, 1931) from the upper tributaries of the both volga (Caspian Sea watershed) and Don (Black Sea watershed) river basins are documented. This significantly extends the range of the Ukrainian brook lamprey eastwards. The Ukrainian brook lamprey and the genus Eudontomyzon are the most distributed species and genus of the lampreys in europe, respectively. Key words: Eudontomyzon mariae, geographic distribution, Volga R. basin, Don R.basin, spawning substrate Introduction The surprising discovery of the Ukrainian brook lamprey Eudontomyzon mariae (Berg, 1931) in the elan’-kadada and Sura rivers in the volga River basin (L e v i n 2001) indicated that the geographical distribution of this species can be far more east than it has been initially assumed (H o l č í k & R e n a u d 1986). -

S Russia, Which Covers About 3,955,800 Km2 and Which Is Bounded in Reasons
Important Bird Areas in Europe – Russia ■ RUSSIA TANYA SVIRIDOVA Danilovskoye marshes (IBA 073). (PHOTO: MIKHAIL IVANOV/RBCU) GENERAL INTRODUCTION comprise 154 ‘new’ sites and 64 ‘original’ sites. The previous inventory of IBAs in Europe (Grimmett and Jones 1989) identified Russia, covering about 17,075,400 km2, spans two continents— 75 sites in European Russia (‘original’ sites), but 11 of these (listed Europe and Asia. This account considers only the European part of in Table 1) were excluded from the present review for various Russia, which covers about 3,955,800 km2 and which is bounded in reasons. Of these 11, one (former site SU110) was mistakenly the east by the Ural mountains, in the south by the Caspian Sea, classified as lying in Russian territory but was actually in Belarus Caucasus mountains, the Black Sea and Ukraine, in the west by (see Belarus chapter), four were duplicates of other sites (former Belarus and the Baltic countries, in the north-west by the Fenno- site SU098 was the same as former site SU101, and former sites scandian countries, and in the north by the Arctic Ocean. European SU131, SU134 and SU135 were the same as SU133), while the other Russia straddles the latitudes between 44°N and 82°N (i.e. including six sites do not meet the current IBA criteria (which have been Franz Josef Land), and the longitudes between 20°E and 70°E. revised since 1989). Of the remaining 64 ‘original’ sites which are European Russia crosses three time-zones as well as eight major considered to meet the current criteria, 46 were updated with new biogeographic zones, and contains an enormous diversity of natural, information and were confirmed to meet the revised criteria, while man-altered and artificial environments, which provide habitats there was no new information for the remaining 18, for which for an extraordinarily rich flora and fauna. -
The Dynasty of Chernigov, 1146-1246
This page intentionally left blank THE DYNASTY OF CHERNIGOV, 1146–1246 Historians in pre-revolutionary Russia, in the Soviet Union, in con- temporary Russia, and the Westhave consistently relegated the dynasty of Chernigov to a place of minor importance in Kievan Rus. This view was buttressed by the evidence that, after the Mongols invaded Rus in 1237, the two branches from the House of Monomakh living in the Rostov-Suzdal and Galicia-Volyn regions emerged as the most powerful. However, careful examination of the chronicle accounts report- ing the dynasty’s history during the second half of the twelfth and the first half of the thirteenth century shows that the Olgovichi of Chernigov successfully challenged the Monomashichi for supremacy in Rus. Through a critical analysis of the available primary sources (such as chronicles, archaeology, coins, seals, “graffiti” in churches, and architecture) this book attempts to correct the pervading erro- neous view by allocating to the Olgovichi their rightful place in the dynastic hierarchy of Kievan Rus. martin dimnik is Professor of Medieval History,Senior Fellow and President Emeritus, Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, Toronto, and Professor of Medieval History,University of Toronto.

Russian Desman (Desmana Moschata: Talpidae) at the Edge of Disappearance
Nature Conservation Research. Заповедная наука 2017. 2(Suppl. 1): 100–112 DOI: 10.24189/ncr.2017.020 RUSSIAN DESMAN (DESMANA MOSCHATA: TALPIDAE) AT THE EDGE OF DISAPPEARANCE Marina V. Rutovskaya1, Maria V. Onufrenya2, Alexander S. Onufrenya2 1A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of RAS, Russia 2Oka State Nature Biosphere Reserve, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received: 30.03.2017 The population of the Russian desman in all historical areas is currently no more than 8000–10,000 individuals. The estimated population size of the Russian desman is based on direct surveys during 2010–2016. We observed over 266 km of the coastline in eight regions where the desman lives. Since the early 20th century the number of specimens has been steadily declining. In addition to the previously described factors that determine the reduction of the population size, such as land reclamation, the construction of hydroelectric stations and the flourishing of poaching at the end of the last century, the status of the Russian desman population is adversely affected by periodic droughts and the absence of floods. Currently Protected Areas remain as the only passive measure to protect the Russian desman in the absence of a programme to species protection nor state support. Key words: animals from the Red Data Book, conservation management, Russian desman Introduction arranges burrows at steep banks of reservoirs, and The Russian desman takes a very ambiguous finds food by swimming along the bottom. Repro- position among protected rare species. On the one duction and abundance of the species depends on the hand, it is listed in the Red Data Book of the Rus- presence of floods. -

They are well-deserved. Kaluga Region is in fact one of the most economically developed regions, where major global corporations operate their facilities, and where dedicated clusters that are the most relevant for Russia today are actively formed… “The cradle of space science”, “little Petersburg”, “the motherland of Russian tsarinas” is also about Kaluga Region. Located in the very heart of Russia, Kaluga land has imbibed a considerable number of Russian and international definitive historical events, images, names… Natural integration of the past and the present, a special role in culture, traditions dating back many centuries, unique nature, a well-developed infrastructure and major industrial brands make Kaluga Region an exceptional area for development of tourism. The regional government has identified integrated development of the tourism segment as a key direction for the near future. TOURISM BRANDS OF KALUGA REGION WELCOME TO KALUGA REGION! “Attractiveness for tourists is measured not so much by the number of landmarks, as by the atmosphere created by the re- gion’s residents. In Kaluga Region, we are always happy to see guests and the atmosphere of hospitality and benevolence, of love and pride for the region prevails here. Come and see for yourself!” – Pavel Konovalov, Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy of Kaluga Region, Head of the Administration of Tourism Development. -
