  • 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.

    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.

  • 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. The U.S. Consulate General in Yekaterinburg provides this list as a tool to assist the American community in Yekaterinburg and other locations along the Trans – Siberian Railway. The Consulate assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or reputation of the persons or medical facilities whose names appear on the following list. This information sheet was revised in October, 2015 and is subject to change without notice.

  • 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.
