view by fences of production plants. He keeps performing familiar tasks and using objects without giving a second thought as to their nature. Man-made materials, for instance various plastics and plastic goods, synthetic rubber have become pervasive. We deal with petrochemical products when we speak on the phone, get into a car or a subway wagon, buy packaged food and water in plastic bottles, turn on a computer or a TV set, withdraw money from an ATM, in fact just by living. Though not obvious to a layman, the relationship between creature comforts and the development of petrochemistry becomes stronger with each passing year. Man keeps building and improving his artificial environment based on natural raw materials. Among other things, petrochemistry is based on associated petroleum gas (APG), a by- product of oil extraction. Left unprocessed, it would burn in oil rig flares destroying a non-renewable resource and vastly damaging the environment. Utilizing APG is a major environmental function performed by petrochemical companies. SIBUR is Russia’s major processor of associated petrochemical gas. To this end it builds and upgrades production facilities, implements projects to convert carbohydrates into high value added products, primarily polymers and plastics. The company’s mission is to make people’s life more protected and comfortable while easing the burden on the environment and using natural resources in the most efficient manner. 4 Statement by the Chairman of the Board Alexander Dyukov and SIBUR President Dmitry Konov Dear reader! SIBUR Holding is presenting its third social report. The last few years were highly successful for SIBUR: the company demonstrated robust financial and production performance. The Group actively developed corporate social programmes and kept raising wages. However petrochemistry has been hit hard by the global economic crisis. In the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company found itself in an unprecedentedly complex situation. We were forced to cut wages dramatically, focus on operational efficiency, and revise our investment programme. The situation could not but affect the Group’s social policy, making the crisis and the company’s response the main themes of this report. Our major achievement is that we have managed to maintain the key social indicators: we did not cut wages, we have retained the key personnel, and have continued with the basic social programmes. In the coming years it is essential to consolidate the progress and to move forward. We shall continue to implement and develop our social programmes despite the unfavorable industry cycle and global economic problems. It is important to not roll back the industrial safety policy as a value for all SIBUR personnel. SIBUR has entered the crisis as a close-knit professional and mobilized team capable of rolling with the punch and clearing the space for continued development. The company will thus continue with its consistent strategy of developing the resource base and creating new production facilities. In these difficult times the company has made a special effort to communicate. By reporting to its personnel and partners about achieving the goals of sustainable development SIBUR demonstrates its openness to dialogue and confidence in the future. 5 About the Company SIBUR1 is a major Russian petrochemical company producing over 100 different products. The Group’s production chain includes gas processing, production of monomers and polymers, plastics and rubber, mineral fertilizers and tyres. The Group brings together 34 Russian enterprises in 3

    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief 20 November 2014 RUSSIA: "Extremism" charges for possessing Muslim books, Jehovah's Witness community ban confirmed By Victoria Arnold, Forum 18 News Service The criminal trial of six Russian Muslims accused of "extremism" for alleged involvement in "Nurdzhular", an organisation which Muslims deny exists, began in Perm on 16 October, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. Two women facing the same charges in Krasnoyarsk will go on trial on 27 November, and another man in Rostov-on-Don is likely to be tried soon after. Four more people are soon to be brought to court on similar charges. Another Muslim from Perm, who reads the works of the late Turkish Muslim theologian Said Nursi, was given a suspended prison sentence in June. Also, the Jehovah's Witness community in Samara - forcibly liquidated on charges of "extremism" - has been unable to overturn the liquidation ruling on 12 November in the Supreme Court. In Taganrog a similar 2009 liquidation also upheld by the Supreme Court has been used to justify banning all Jehovah's Witness activity. Subsequently, seven Jehovah's Witnesses were found guilty of "extremism" in August 2014 for continuing to meet together for prayer and Bible study. The criminal trial of six men accused of "extremism" for alleged involvement in "Nurdzhular", an organisation which Muslims in Russia deny exists, began in the Urals city of Perm on 16 October, Forum 18 News Service has learnt.

  • All Sides Claim Victory in 1996 Gubernatorial Elections
    ALL SIDES CLAIM VICTORY IN 1996 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS Although they did not receive nearly as much international attention as the July presidential election, the 48 Russian regional elections held between 1 September and 5 January were closely watched by Russian politicians and commentators. Gubernatorial elections were held in 45 oblasts, krais, and autonomous okrugs, forcing leaders appointed by President Boris Yeltsin to face the voters. Three ethnic republics also elected top executives. Both the Kremlin and opposition leaders have portrayed the elections as a success, but many new governors have pledged to use their mandates to benefit their own regions, and it is difficult to predict where their primary loyalties will lie. Who are the new governors? Of the 48 incumbent regional leaders who faced elections in 1996, 20 held on to their jobs and 24 were defeated. Another three continue to serve pending repeat elections in their regions, and Tyumen Governor Leonid Roketskii will contest a runoff on 12 January. (A complete list of election results is attached to this issue of the Russian Regional Report.) Fifteen of the 24 new governors were elected mainly with the backing of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) and its left-wing umbrella movement, the Popular-Patriotic Union of Russia (NPSR). Of the successful Communist-backed candidates, seven were chairmen of regional or local legislatures immediately before being elected governor (Krasnodar and Altai krais and Voronezh, Volgograd, Kaluga, Vladimir, and Kurgan oblasts). Four others were State Duma deputies (Kirov, Bryansk, and Chelyabinsk oblasts and Stavropol Krai), and one (Ryazan) worked in the parliament's Audit Chamber.

This leads to the formation of new shorelines, which are highly dynamic regarding erosion and deposition processes. The present work aims to assess the direct human action along the largest reservoir in Europe—Kuibyshev (Russian Federation) and to analyse threatened cultural heritage sites from the coastal area, with the help of historical maps, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), and topographic surveys. This approach is a necessity, due to the oscillating water level, local change of climate, and to the continuous increasing of natural hazards (in this case coastal erosion) all over the world. Many studies are approaching coastal areas of the seas and oceans, yet there are fewer studies regarding the inland coastal areas of large artificial reservoirs. Out of the total number of 1289 cultural heritage sites around the Kuibyshev reservoir, only 90 sites are not affected by the dam building; the rest had completely disappeared under the reservoir’s water.

    Technical condition of apartment buildings in the central regions of Russia M I Balzannikov Samara State University of Economics, Samara, 141 Sovetskoi Armii St., 443090, Samara, Russia E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract. The article notes the presence in Russian cities housing stock of the central regions of a large number of residential apartment buildings, built over 50 years ago and in operation. The bearing capacity of the structures of these houses has significantly decreased. In connection with this carried out a survey of technical condition of houses. For buildings that are for further operation invalid state, the procedure of recognition of their emergency. Analysis of data on the technical condition of apartment buildings showed that in the cities of Kazan, Samara and Volgograd, the physical deterioration of residential buildings is 25-28%, which is less than the average value in Russia, and in Nizhny Novgorod it is significantly higher and amounts to 38%. The data allow us to conclude that in the near future in Nizhny Novgorod one should expect a large number of residential buildings to go into emergency condition. Analysis of indicators of the state of emergency residential buildings in these cities shows that the percentage of the city of Samara operated homes, referred in 2013 to the state of emergency, the largest and is 10.1%, which is significantly higher than the average value in Russia. As one of the main reasons for the incomplete resettlement of emergency houses under the program for the period 2013-2018 indicates "the unknown whereabouts of the owner." The article concludes that it is possible to increase the efficiency of the resettlement program through operational work with the owners of residential premises of liquidated residential buildings.
