Subject of the Russian Federation)
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. -

Preface The Management and Technology Area of IIASA has carried out case studies of large-scale development programs since 1975. The purpose of these studies is to examine successful programs of regional development from an international perspective, with a multidisciplinary team of scientists skilled in the use of systems analysis. The study of the Bratsk-Ilimsk Territorial Production Complex (BITPC) represents an interim effort in our research activities. The first study was of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the United States*, forthcoming is the study of the Shinkansen development program in Japan. The present Report covers six major aspects of the BITPC program: goals, variants, and strategies; planning and organization; model calculations and computer applications; integration of environmental factors; energy supply systems; and water resources. It is hoped that the experience of the Soviet scientists and practitioners and the observations and suggestions of the study team will ~rovidethe IIASA National Member Organizations" with insights into problem solving in the management, planning, and organization of large-scale development programs. -

CONTENTS 5 Dear shareholders, One of the milestone events in the Russian insurance market in 2010 was the adoption of the law regarding obligatory insurance of hazardous production facility owners’ liability. Today, work is underway to develop a number of key legislative drafts aimed at expanding the application field of insurance as an efficient risk management tool, which will provide a great spark to the development of insurance in Russia. In many respects, the crucial factor at this stage will be the activities of the industry’s leaders. They are to play the key role in formation of insurance culture in Russia, establish new quality standards of insurers’ activities and enhance public confidence in the institution of insurance at large. -

Complex Development of Gas Condensate and Hydromineral Resources of Eastern Siberia and Strategy of Gas Export to Asian-Pacific Regions (Apr) Countries
COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT OF GAS CONDENSATE AND HYDROMINERAL RESOURCES OF EASTERN SIBERIA AND STRATEGY OF GAS EXPORT TO ASIAN-PACIFIC REGIONS (APR) COUNTRIES V.F. Gorbachev, VNIIGAZ A.S. Antsiferov, VostSibNIIGGiMS, Irkutsk V.F. Mazanov, IGiRGI World economy development in the last quarter of the 20th century and prediction of its development for the first quarter of the 21st century state that more than 60% of the world energy consumption will refer to the countries of Asian-Pacific region (APR). In the update situation on the world energy market demand of APR countries in the import of energy carriers continues to grow. This fact creates and provides for the potential possibilities for the export of Russian energy carriers and on the priority bases export of gas. If the necessary scope of energy consumption in developed and rapidly developing APR countries (up to 250-300·109 m3 by 2020 and no less than 300-400·109 m3 by 2030) is provided, than the internal regional annual deficit will constitute in terms of volume about 200-250·109 m3 and can be replenished only by means of external deliveries of natural gas. The major part of deficit of the necessary natural gas consumption in APR countries can be covered in case of arranging large scale gas deliveries from Eastern Siberia of the Russian Federation occupying the area of Siberian platform. Forming major oil and gas producing and oil-gas-processing complexes in Eastern Siberia and Sakha Republic (Yakutia) represents the constituent part of Federal Energy Program of Russia and OAO “Gazprom” will provide for economic, energy and ecological safety of eastern regions of Russia as a whole and separate subjects of its Federation. -

Breeding and genetic resources of five-needle pines: growth, adaptability, and pest resistance; 2001 July 23-27; Medford, OR, USA. IUFRO Working Party 2.02.15. Proceedings RMRS-P-32. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 259 p. This volume presents 29 overview and research papers on the breeding, genetic variation, genecology, gene conservation, and pest resistance of five-needle pines (Pinus L. subgenus Strobus Lemm.) from throughout the world. Overview papers provide information on past and present research as well as future needs for research on white pines from North America, Europe, and Asia. Research papers, more narrowly focused, cover various aspects of genetics. Throughout the distribution of five-needle pines, but particularly in many of the nine North American species, the pathogen Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch. continues to cause high levels of mortality and threatens ecosystems and plantations. Studies on genetic resistance to C. ribicola are described in papers from different regions of the world. Use of P. strobus as an exotic species in Europe and Russia and corresponding problems with white pine blister rust are discussed in several papers. Other papers focus on examining and exploiting patterns of genetic variation of different species. -
