  • 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. 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.

    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).
