    Northern Sea Route Cargo Flows and Infrastructure – Present State and Future Potential By Claes Lykke Ragner FNI Report 13/2000 FRIDTJOF NANSENS INSTITUTT THE FRIDTJOF NANSEN INSTITUTE Tittel/Title Sider/Pages Northern Sea Route Cargo Flows and Infrastructure – Present 124 State and Future Potential Publikasjonstype/Publication Type Nummer/Number FNI Report 13/2000 Forfatter(e)/Author(s) ISBN Claes Lykke Ragner 82-7613-400-9 Program/Programme ISSN 0801-2431 Prosjekt/Project Sammendrag/Abstract The report assesses the Northern Sea Route’s commercial potential and economic importance, both as a transit route between Europe and Asia, and as an export route for oil, gas and other natural resources in the Russian Arctic. First, it conducts a survey of past and present Northern Sea Route (NSR) cargo flows. Then follow discussions of the route’s commercial potential as a transit route, as well as of its economic importance and relevance for each of the Russian Arctic regions. These discussions are summarized by estimates of what types and volumes of NSR cargoes that can realistically be expected in the period 2000-2015. This is then followed by a survey of the status quo of the NSR infrastructure (above all the ice-breakers, ice-class cargo vessels and ports), with estimates of its future capacity. Based on the estimated future NSR cargo potential, future NSR infrastructure requirements are calculated and compared with the estimated capacity in order to identify the main, future infrastructure bottlenecks for NSR operations. The information presented in the report is mainly compiled from data and research results that were published through the International Northern Sea Route Programme (INSROP) 1993-99, but considerable updates have been made using recent information, statistics and analyses from various sources.

  • State of Uncertainty Educating the First Railroaders in Central Sakha (Yakutiya)
    State of Uncertainty Educating the First Railroaders in Central Sakha (Yakutiya) Sigrid Irene Wentzel Abstract In July 2019, the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in the Republic of Sakha (Ya- kutiya), the Russian Far East, was fi nally able to celebrate the opening of an eagerly awaited railroad passenger connection. Th rough analysis of rich eth- nographic data, this article explores the “state of uncertainty” caused by re- peated delays in construction of the railroad prior to this and focuses on the eff ect of these delays on students of a local transportation college. Th is college prepares young people for railroad jobs and careers, promising a steady in- come and a place in the Republic’s wider modernization project. Th e research also reveals how the state of uncertainty led to unforeseen consequences, such as the seeding of doubt among students about their desire to be a part of the Republic’s industrialization drive. Keywords economic development, education, infrastructure supply, planning, railways, Russia, uncertainty, youth When I came to the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in April 2015 to do fi eldwork, I happened to be the only guest at Anya’s guesthouse. “What are you doing here?” she asked. “I want to study the railroad development and its eff ects on the people,” I responded. Amused, yet skeptical, Anya replied, “I am afraid you won’t fi nd anything to study here, the railroad is not really working. Everybody prepared for the opening, the young got educated and now . nothing.”1 While the existence of railway connections may be taken for granted in some parts of the world, few places today off er the opportunity to observe the in- stallation of a new railway line.

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.

Аммоsov, Neryungri, Russia 2Теchnical Institute (branch) of North-Eastern Federal university after М.К. Аммоsov, Neryungri, Russia Abstract. In 2015 the maps of seismic zoning on the territory of Russia were detailed according to new general standards (ОSR-2015). Compared to the previous data, the number of seismically dangerous areas has the tendency to increase. Most buildings in those areas of the country were designed and constructed as less earthquake resistant. The physical and mechanical characteristics of the soil in the buildings foundation are being changed under the influence of different ecological, engineering, geological, and man-made factors. The latest research discovers the high level of soil influence on seismic resistance of buildings. Further detailed examination of earthquake resistance of buildings in the northern territories of Russia has been planned according to the changes and influences mentioned above in order to lower the earthquake risks. Introduction The research of recent decades discovers the increasing risks of seismic disasters that can be connected with the human activities, different anthropogenic influences on the Earth's crust, geological, engineering, seismological, and environmental factors, as discussed in [1-3]. Latest Maps of General seismic zoning of the Russian Federation territory (GSZ-2015) have shown the following tendencies: the number of regions with high seismic risks has increased significantly compared to the previous data, as discussed in [4, 5].

Stuart Kirby Introduction The country of the Yakuts - Yakutia, the territory of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (YASSR) as it became in 1922, the vast hinterland of the Soviet Far East and Eastern Siberia - is a most significant and interesting component l of the Soviet Union in Asia ). It has enormous mineral, fual and other resources, of primary interest to Japan and the world, still only beginning to be developed. Populated mainly by the Yakuts (a 'Turkic' -speaking people with ancient and peculiar characteristics of their own), a comparatively small number of Russians (many of these more or less 'Yakutised') and very small and scattered minorities of other indigenous peoples of the Northlands, it is a special case in many ways; including that of being rapidly and purposefully changed from a 'primitive' and 'feudal' condition (in the Marxist sense of that term, i. e. backward and pre-capitalist, not in the Euro­ pean and Japanese sense of having a fief system of society) into a Soviet Socialist entity heading towards Communism. Remote and isolated, Yakutia has long been mysterious to the rest of the world, which has had little information on it in either Tsarist or Soviet times. As with the rest of the USSR, however, a 'thaw' began in this respect a few years after the death of Stalin in 1953.
