Sustainability Report SU STAINABILITY REPORT RUS S IAN FEDERATION Our third Sustainability Report covers particularly the corporate Ecological Safety Program (2004 – 2008) outputs; activities related to global energy security issues; new projects addressed to our customers, and performance results of our enterprises in each federal okrug (district) where they operate. GRI Application level С С+ В В+ А А+ Self Declared Third Party Checked GRI Checked Forward-looking statements The forward-looking data in this report is based on the projections. The words ‘believe’, ‘assume’, ‘suppose ’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’ and related expressions indicate that the information is a projection. The specific feature of all the projections is that they imply risk and uncertainty. Actual results may vary significantly from the planning figures and the targets, expectations, estimates and intentions contained in the projection statements. Projection statements are only valid as of the date they are made. OAO LUKOIL does not represent, warrant or predict that the expected results of their activities contained in the projections will actually ever be achieved. Each time such statements are made they represent only one of the many possible development scenarios, thus, are not to be treated as the most likely or typical scenario.

Freeze, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Allison Brown May 2016 Copyright by Allison Brown © 2016 ABSTRACT Soviet Forest Management and Urban Green Spaces in the Post-Stalinist Press, 1953-1982 A thesis presented to the Department of History Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Allison Brown In the decades following Joseph Stalin’s death in 1953, the Soviet government largely continued his policies of accelerated industrialization. This drive for industrial growth had a profound impact on Soviet forests and the industry that was responsible for their management. While certain sectors of the economy, such as the military and space programs, enjoyed significant attention and monetary contributions from the government in the latter half of the twentieth century, the forestry industry was less fortunate. The Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras (1953-82) were plagued by poor communications between state officials and the management structure of the forestry sector, a lack of investment to train specialists and to develop new technologies and techniques, little commitment to waste reduction and more efficient use of resources, and an inability to break “old habits” that had beset that sector of the industry for decades. While the forestry industry struggled to modernize and reorganize, city planners faced challenges in meeting the demands of city-dwellers and state officials, who demanded the inclusion of urban green spaces and forest belts in both old and new cities.

    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.
