The poll surveyed 1200 respondents residing in Tyumen, Tobolsk, Yalutarovsk and Ishim, as well as the Tyumensky, Tobolsky, Yalutorovsky and Ishimsky districts and Zavodoukovsky Urban Okrug of Tyumen Oblast. The author has analyzed specific indicators characterizing interethnic relations and uncovered specific trends through an analysis of responses to the survey’s questions based on the major socio-demographic indicators (gender, age, place of residence, education, marital status, one’s own assessment of one’s personal material situation, etc.). The results of the public opinion poll have led the author to conclude that, according to the region’s inhabitants, the situation with regard to interethnic relations in Tyumen Oblast is more stable and trouble-free than across Russia at large.

  • International Winter Schools in Russia
    International winter schools in Russia COUNTRY OVERVIEW Geography Russia spans from the eastern plains of Europe to the Pacific Ocean in Asia, making it the largest country in the world. The coasts of Russia are washed by 12 seas and three oceans. There is hardly any country in the world where such a variety of scenery and vegetation can be found: steppes in the south, plains and forests in the midlands, tundra and taiga in the north, highlands and deserts in the east. There are 11 time zones in Russia, which is more than in any other country in the world. Climate Due to its vast territory, Russia is a country of natural contrasts. The northern part of the country is located in arctic and subarctic climate zones, while the southern regions have a subtropical climate. Normally Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan have very warm summers and fairly cold winters, while Tomsk in Siberia often has temperatures of -40 C or colder in winter. Culture Despite its vast area the population is 146 million people, less than the United States, Brazil or Pakistan. However, it is extremely diverse culturally. There are about 185 ethnic groups, whereas Slavs (the first inhabitants of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus) comprise the major ethnicity. Russian is the only official language across the country, but there are more than 25 different languages that are considered official in certain regions. Economy Russia is the biggest gas and second biggest oil exporter in the world and also has vast stocks of precious metals. Other important sectors include information technology, defense, agriculture and aerospace.

  • Medical Services Providers
    MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDERS Western medical care in the Yekaterinburg area can be expensive, difficult to obtain, and not always comprehensive. Some facilities offer quality services, but many restrict services to normal business hours and/or to people willing to pay for services in advance. Acceptance of insurance in lieu of prepayment is rare. Most patients pay in cash and receive reimbursement from their insurance companies upon their return to the United States. State medical care is officially free of charge, but the quality of service ranges from unacceptable to uncomfortable. Russian doctors often demand payment for disposable needles, medications, and some services. There are no foreign-run in-patient clinics in Yekaterinburg. Medical evacuation to another country is an expensive option. All travelers who visit Russia are encouraged to purchase travel medical insurance that includes coverage in the event when an evacuation is necessary. In the event of an emergency, the U.S. Consulate General will try to assist in arranging medical care for U.S. citizens. For assistance during working hours, please call +7 (343) 379-3001, ext. 2130. After 5:30 p.m., please call the Consulate duty officer at +7 (917) 569-3549.

    TOBOLSK GOVERNORATE EXILE (TSARIST RUSSIA): ORIGINATION AND STATUS IN THE EARLY XX CENTURY / 261 Pavel ALEXANDROVICH SUNGUROV HISTORIA 396 TOBOLSK GOVERNORATE EXILE ISSN 0719-0719 E- ISSN 0719-7969 (TSARIST RUSSIA): ORIGINATION Nº 1 - 2018 [261-276] AND STATUS IN THE EARLY XX CENTURY EXILIO EN LA GOBERNACIÓN SIBERIANA DE TOBOLSK (ZARATO RUSO): RAÍCES Y SITUACIÓN A PRINCIPIOS DEL SIGLO XX Pavel Alexandrovich Sungurov Industrial University of Tyumen (IUT), Russia [email protected] Abstract In the early XX century, the Russian Empire witnessed crucial transformations of sociopolitical and economic spheres of the society’s life. There were new developments in the Siberian region as well. The words “Siberia” and “exile” had merged into one single notion and were associated in the common people’s minds with governmental reprisals made on the po- pulation. Tobolsk Governorate, as the first Trans-Ural region, absorbed a crowd of the exiled which was very motley and extremely unwanted by the locals. This article is dedicated to consideration of changes that were taking place in the Sibe- rian exile. The processes of transformation of the social com- position of the exiled have been researched; ideological and political sentiments that reigned among the exiled are cha- racterized in detail. The primary sources of the work were the materials from “Sibirskie voprosy” (Issues of Siberia) opposi- tion magazine and the clerical documents of the administra- tive and law enforcement authorities of Tobolsk Governorate. The conclusions drawn provide a vivid description of the key groups of which the exiled consisted in the early XX century and make it possible to assess a real revolutionary potential in the social groups sent in exile to the Trans-Urals region.

Acta Biologica Sibirica 6: 369–374. https://doi.org/10.3897/abs.6.e53528 Abstract The paper presents data on the first records of Dendroxena quadrimaculata (Scopoli, 1771) in the Tyumen region. D. quadrimaculata is distributed in the European part of Russia, Caucasus and south of Siberia. This species was not previously recorded in the Tyumen region, but within two years (2018–2019), it spread throughout the region. We considered the possible reasons for its range expansion in Western Siberia. Keywords Dendroxena quadrimaculata, Western Siberia, new records, climate change Introduction Dendroxena quadrimaculata (Scopoli, 1771) is a Western Palearctic species of Sil- phidae family and distributed in Central and Southern Europe, Turkey, Iran and Ka- zakhstan (Rŭžička 2015), acclimatized in Northern Africa (Algeria) and Northern America (Nikolaev and Kozminykh 2002).

  • Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever (OHF)
    Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever (OHF) Omsk hemorrhagic fever (OHF) is caused by Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus (OHFV), a member of the virus family Flaviviridae. OHF was described between 1945 and 1947 in Omsk, Russia from patients with hemorrhagic fever. Rodents serve as the primary host for OHFV, which is transmitted to rodents from the bite of an infected tick. Common tick vectors include Dermacentor reticulatus, Dermacentor marginatus, Ixodes persulcatus and common rodents infected with OHFV include the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica), water vole (Arvicola terrestris), and narrow-skulled voles (Microtus gregalis). Muskrats are not native to the Omsk region but were introduced to the area and are now a common target for hunters and trappers. Like humans, muskrats fall ill and die when infected with the virus. OHF occurs in the western Siberia regions of Omsk, Novosibirsk, Kurgan and Tyumen. Transmission Humans can become infected through tick bites or through contact with the blood, feces, or urine of an infected, sick, or dead animal – most commonly, rodents. Occupational and recreational activities such as hunting or trapping may increase human risk of infection. Transmission may also occur with no direct tick or rodent exposure as OHFV appears to be extremely stable in different environments. It has been isolated from aquatic animals and water and there is even evidence that OHFV can be transmitted through the milk of infected goats or sheep to humans. No human to human transmission of OHFV has been documented but infections due to lab contamination have been described. Signs and Symptoms After an incubation period of 3-8 days, the symptoms of OHF begin suddenly with chills, fever, headache, and severe muscle pain with vomiting, gastrointestinal symptoms and bleeding problems occurring 3-4 days after initial symptom onset.
