Mining industry of the Republic Komi is still in its infancy, so today we can only talk about the possible social, economic problems and the environmental effects of the projected mining and processing industries and their prevention [1, 2002]. Currently the mining industry of the Republic of Komi is presented only by bauxite and non- metallic building materials (building stone, gravel, sand). Current volumes of ore mining and non- metallic minerals insignificant. The share of mining industries in total value of the industrial prod- ucts shipped to the customers account for 0.5-1% in the structure of employment - less than 3% in the structure of assets - 0.3%. Present situation of the mining sector defines the minor capital of the investments (less than 0.1 % of the total regional capital) and geological surveys. However, the republic has a significant resource potential for the formation of the modern powerful mining complex. The control of mining industry of Komi Republic to January 1, 2013 is- sued 8 licenses of solid minerals (titanium, vein quartz, silica sand, limestone for cement raw ma- terial, manganese, bauxite, gold), 4 licenses for exploration and production (gold, titanium) and 9 prospecting licenses (gold, quartzite for the glass industry, vein quartz, copper). The List of attrac- tive investment objects involves creating mining-chemical complexes based on the deposits of ti- tanium, bauxite, oil shale, quartz deposits development, building materials and other areas [2].

    VOICES FROM TUNDRA AND TAIGA TTUUNNDDRRAA YYUUKKAAGGIIRR a nearly extinct Paleo-Asian Isolate in Arctic Russia: a Collection on CD/DVD of Linguistic and Folkloristic Materials of the Language and Culture of a Siberian People for Documentation, Education and Safeguarding for Posterity Cecilia Odé Mark Schmalz Kees Hengeveld Research project March 2009 - March 2012 University of Amsterdam financially supported by Background Tundra Yukagir (TY) is spoken in the northeast of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia, Russian Federation), between the lower Indigirka and the lower Kolyma. The population is approximately 700, but at present the number of good speakers is dramatically low with some 50 people still speaking their mother tongue properly. Most TY speakers are fluent in Russian and Yakut, and in at least one of the indigenous languages of the area: Chukchi, Evenki and Even. In the village of Andryushkino where most TY live, the language is hardly spoken anymore, and TY parents and language teachers blame themselves for not passing TY on to their children. In school children learn their native language and about the indigenous cultures of local peoples. Folkloristic festivals are frequently held in which villagers, young and old, participate. The general attitude is positive towards language revival. Language context The Tundra Yukagir language belongs to the group of Paleo-Asian languages (Nikolaeva & Khelimsky, 1997). Two Yukagir languages exist, southern (Kolyma) and northern (Tundra) Yukagir, that are not mutually intelligible, and probably form an isolated language family. The only available, but incomplete TY grammars are Kreinovich (1958, 1982) and Kurilov (2006), and a sketch with texts by Maslova (2003); a collection of texts with glosses and English translation is Maslova (2001).

    Fur Animal Hunting of the Indigenous People in the Russian Far East: History, Technology, and Economic Effects

    FUR ANIMAL HUNTING OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST: HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY, AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS Shirou Sasaki 1 1. Who are the Indigenous People of the Russian Far East? A general definition of “indigenous people” does not exist. Therefore, I focused on “the indigenous people of Far East Russia” in this report. “Far East Russia” is defined by the administration of the present Russian Federation as the region consisting of the Republic of Sakha, Amur region, Magadan region, Kamchatka region, Sakahlin region, Chukchi autonomous district, Koryak autonomous district, Khabarovsk region, and the Primor’e region. “The indigenous people” in these regions are the inhabitants who have lived there since before the 17th century when the Russians invaded Siberia and the Far East. When referring to the Primor’e and Sakhalin regions and the southern part of the Khabarovsk region, we are speaking of the inhabitants who have lived there since before the Beijing Treaty of 1860. Their descendants are divided into the administrative categories of Natsiya and Narodnost’. The authorized Natsiya and Narodnost’ are Yakut (Sakha), Dolgan, Evenki, Even, Chukchi, Koryak, Itel'men, Yukagir, Nivkh, Nanai, Ul'chi, Orochi, Udehe, Orok (Uilta). Interestingly, most of them speak Russian as their mother tongue, even the people who are authorized as Narodnost’ on their family registration. Mixed marriages among them or with Russians has prevented the preservation of their unique genetic heritage. Because it is very difficult to describe the many kinds of people living in such a vast area at once, I will first introduce the ancestors of the Udehe and the Nanai who live the closest to Japan.

Fürstenberg/Havel: Kulturstiftung Sibirien. — Electronic edition LEARNING YOUR ENDANGERED NATIVE LANGUAGE 6 IN A SMALL MULTILINGUAL COMMUNITY: THE CASE OF TUNDRA YUKAGIR IN ANDRIUSHKINO 1 Cecilia Odé In admiring memory of Anna Gavrilovna Vyrdylina Introduction This paper discusses the language situation of the Tundra Yukagir in the multilin- gual community of the village of Andriushkino. According to the data for 2005 on the website of the Sakha Information Agency (www.ysia.ru/nkol.php), the taiga and tundra of the Nizhnekolymsky ulus (Nizhnekolymsky district), where the village of Andriushkino is situated, has a surface area of nearly 88,000 km2 with less than one person per 10 km2. During fieldwork in Andriushkino in the winter of 2009, I collected some statis- tics at the administrative office of the village and at the school. In 2009, the popula- tion of Andriushkino was 895 people, 607 belonging to the minority peoples Yukagir (223), Even (349), Chukchi (21), Evenki (4), and a few Dolgan (6) and Nenets (4). The other 288 people are mostly Yakut, and only 30 Russians inhabit the village. These numbers include the nomads living on the tundra. This small and exceptional multi- lingual community with eight peoples poses an especially complicated picture for the schools in the village, where teachers have to deal with different ethnic groups speak- ing completely unrelated languages. There is a strong hierarchy though in the use of these languages.
  • It Is Believed That to Preserve Purity of Water It Is Sufficient Not to Discharge

    It Is Believed That to Preserve Purity of Water It Is Sufficient Not to Discharge

    “Moscow is my Motherland 55 and will remain so forever: I was born there and there I suffered a lot and there I was too happy.” These are the words written by our great poet Mikhail Lermontov about the years spent in the old capital— a short but very significant period for his creative work. It is believed that to preserve purity of water 37 it is sufficient not to discharge contaminants into reservoirs in the quantities exceeding the limits of the permissible level. Studies carried on by scientists from the Moscow State University show that these priorities are insufficient for securing ecological safety of water supply sources. In the 1760s-1770s a group of scientists 75 headed by Peter Simon Pallas carried on a project unprecedented by the scale of works and involved territory—described a great number of Russian regions, including geological, mineralogical, animal and plant resources, historical, socio-economic and ethnographic peculiarities.

The article describes the transport corridors of coal delivery to remote hard-to-reach consumers of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). A brief description of the waterways and the timing of their operation are given. The conditions of functioning of winter roads are reflected. The main risks of coal delivery are described. The article describes the whole cycle of finding coal in the open air from the moment of production to the final consumption in boiler houses. The results of experimental analysis and modeling of oxidation state during delivery are presented. The economic inexpediency of forming long-term coal reserves is explained, while maintaining the traditional technology of transportation and storage. The economic difficulties of the organization of coal supply have been singled out. As a result of the analysis of the current state of coal supply, key points of improving the coal supply system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) are highlighted. 1 Introduction Reliability of fuel supply is a steady receipt of quality fuel in the required volume. Regions of the North have serious natural unevenness of processes of supply and consumption of fuel [1].
