How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country. -

FAR EASTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT Investment Projects
FAR EASTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT Investment Projects Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in the United States of America FEFD: Investment Projects FAR EASTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT Territory - 6215,9 thousand sq.km Population - 6 440 400 people Administrative center - Khabarovsk Basic economic sectors - mining and gold mining industries, fishing industry, forestry and wood industry, non-ferrous metallurgy, shipbuilding industry Official web-sites - http://dfo.gov.ru/, http://minvostokrazvitia.ru/ 2 FEFD: Investment Projects 3 FEFD: Investment Projects ECONOMY Development of the Far East Region (including economic development) was historically associated with a defining role of the state. The Far East Region has great geopolitical importance, not only providing the economy with the resources, but also acting as a guarantor of national safety. That is why development of the Eastern territories was always based on the principles of paternalism that was the only possible way of forming permanent population at the Far East. The state has also invested a significant amount of money in the development of regional industry, transport infrastructure and cities’ constructions. Today major investment projects at the Far East are being executed with a special attention of the President of the Russian Federation and the Government. In the nearest future about 3 trillion rubles will be invested in the economy of the Far East Federal District on the basis of public-private partnership. And that is not the limit – till 2025 the investment portfolio of the region offers for realization major projects with the estimated cost of 9 trillion rubles. These numbers are incorporated in the “Strategy of the Social- Economic Development of the Far East and Baikal Regions till 2025”, which was approved by the President and the Government of the Russian Federation. -

II. Khabarovsk Region This Region Includes Both Khabarovsk Krai And
Saving Russia’s Far Eastern Taiga: Deforestation, Protected Areas, and Forests ‘Hotspots’ II. Khabarovsk Region This region includes both Khabarovsk krai and Jewish Autonomous region. In the overview of the region, however, information on Jewish Autonomous oblast has been omitted but information on protected areas and forest hotspots is included. Overview of the Region Josh Newell Location Center of the Russian Far East (RFE), extending 1,800 km. Along the Tatar Strait and Sea of Okhotsk. Size Khabarovsk Krai alone is one and half-times larger than France: 790,000 sq.km. Climate Winters are cold and dry. Summers are hot and wet, particularly in the south. Temperatures in the south average -21C in January and 21C in July. Geography and Ecology Because Khabarovsk Krai extends a great distance north to south, it has a wide diversity of plant and animal species. Travelling down the northern part of the Krai, one first meets tundra and high, rocky mountain landscapes (gol'tsi in Russian) with lichens. Further south one finds thin larch forests interspersed with dwarf siberian pine and then larger larch forests (which cover 15% of the north) with grass, small marshes, and meadows. Most of the region lacks roads and is therefore largely inaccesible. The towns are along the coast. Population density is low. The central part of the krai includes the lower basin of the Amur River valley, one of the world's largest river basins, whose headwaters begin in Chita region and China. Here, in the broad Amur Valley, the region and its forests are influenced by the monsoon climate. -
Russia's Local and Financial System
Policy Trend Report ,**+: -.-/0 Russia’s Local and Financial System Takafumi NAKAI Institute for Russian & East European Economic Studies, Japan Association for Trade with Russia & Central-Eastern Europe Abstract:After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation has been building a new local structure and financial system, entirely di#erent from the old regime. The objective of this study is to describe the general layout of Russia’s current regional structure and regional financial system. Section + reviews Russia’s local system after the collapse of the Soviet Union. By establishing the Federal Treaty, the Russian Constitution and the Power-Sharing Treaties under the Yeltsin administration (+33,-+333), Russia formed the basic framework of a federal state, extending much wider powers to the subjects of the federation compared to the former regime of the Soviet Union. However, Russia’s decentralization developed in a very complex and irregular pattern, as a result of strengthening regional powers and the central government’s faltering power. New Russian president Putin started the local reforms, striving for “strong state power,” using key phrases such as “dictatorship of law” and “vertical line of power.” He is currently promoting local system reforms with centralized measures (establishing Federal Districts, weakening regional powers). Section , surveys the regional financial system in the Russian Federation. There are three levels of budgets in the Russian public finance system: federal budget, budgets of the subjects of the federation (regional budget) and local budgets. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, due to the fact that the most critical issues of distribution of tax revenues and fiscal aid between the federation and the subjects of the federation were not strictly stipulated in laws at any level, this issue was decided between the Federal Government and each subject of the federation by way of direct negotiation. -
