Zhuravel, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor, Senior Research Fellow, Center of Northern Europe, RAS Institute of Europe. E- mail: [email protected] Abstract. The article is focused on the analysis of the decisions on the develop- ment and exploration of the Arctic. It also reveals the activity of the State Com- mission on the Development of the Arctic. It notes the slow solution of problems of energy, information, transportation security of the remote settlements in the Russian Arctic. Unresolved issues of legal support of the guarantee and compensation system caused a cer- tain degree of concern for persons working on the territory of the North in the Arctic. This list of existing problems could be extended. Activities of the State Commission confirm the thesis that Russia intends to provide reliable and long-term national interests in the Arctic. Keywords: Arctic, the development, the State Commission, the problems The continuity of the soviet and Russian policy in the Arctic remains a hot topic. After the col- lapse of the Soviet Union in the context of the new geopolitical situation in the world, Russia has be- gun to formulate a new Arctic policy, because in the 1980s the Soviet experience was mostly lost. This article examines decisions on the development of the Arctic, and policy implementation. Decisions on the development and exploration of the Arctic In 1992, an inter-ministerial Commission for the Arctic and Antarctic Affairs was estab- lished, which replaced the RSFSR State Commission on Arctic and Antarctic Affairs. In 1996, there was an approved program of development of hydrocarbon reserves on the shelf of the Arctic seas of Russia until 2010. Russia ratified the Convention on the law of the Sea 1982 in December 2001 to increase the limits of its continental shelf of Russia but failed. The Commission considered the evidence provided by the Russian side concerning the Lomonosov Ridge unconvincing when iden- tifying its structure as an undersea continuation of the continental shelf. However, this did not reduce attention to the country's leadership in the Arctic and its problems. September 18, 2008: the President of the Russian Federation approved the framework of the State policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic for the period up to the year 2020 and beyond, which identified the objectives and strategic priorities of the State policy of Russia in the Arctic and North. 2016.

  • Gap Analysis in Support of Cpan: the Russian Arctic
    CAFF Habitat Conservation Report No. 9 GAP ANALYSIS IN SUPPORT OF CPAN: THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC Igor Lysenko and David Henry CAFF INTERNATIONAL SECRETRARIAT 2000 This report, prepared by Igor Lysenko, World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) and David Henry, United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Global Resource Information Database (GRID)-Arendal, is a technical account of a Gap Analysis Project conducted for the Russian Arctic in 1997-1999 in support of the Circumpolar Protected Areas Network (CPAN) of CAFF. It updates the status and spatial distribution of protected areas within the CAFF area of the Russian Federation and provides, in 22 GIs based maps and several data sets, a wealth of information relevant for present and future management decisions related to habitat conservation in the Russian Arctic. The present Gap Analysis for the Russian Arctic was undertaken in response to the CPAN Strategy and Action Plan requirement for countries to identify gaps in protected area coverage of ecosystems and species and to select sites for further action. Another important objective was to update the Russian data base. The Analysis used a system of twelve landscape units instead of the previously used vegetation zone system as the basis to classify Russia's ecosystems. A comparison of the terrestrial landscape systems against protected area coverage indicates that 27% of the glacier ecosystem is protected, 9.3% of the tundra (treeless portion) and 4.7% of the forest systems within the Arctic boundaries are under protection, but the most important Arctic forested areas have only 0.1% protection. In general, the analysis indicates a negative relationship between ecosystem productivity and protection, which is consistent with findings in 1996.

Volcanoes of Kamchatka عقوملا تامولعم Country: Russian Federation Inscribed in: 1996 Criteria: (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) This is one of the most outstanding volcanic regions in the world, with a high density of active volcanoes, a variety of types, and a wide range of related features. The six sites included in the serial designation group together the majority of volcanic features of the Kamchatka peninsula. The interplay of active volcanoes and glaciers forms a dynamic landscape of great beauty. The sites contain great species diversity, including the world's largest known variety of salmonoid fish and exceptional concentrations of sea otter, brown bear and Stellar's sea eagle. © UNESCO صخلملا 2017 Conservation Outlook Significant concern Conservation outlook for the geological values and also for the scenic values of the site is good as these are very robust against human activities, and because such activities are still relatively localized within the property. Conservation outlook is worse for the rich biodiversity values, which are protected by the size, remoteness, relative inaccessibility and pristine state of the site. Unsustainable use of natural resources (legal and illegal hunting and fishing) have started to erode these values along the additional threats posed by existing roads and the trend towards infrastructure development and associated with it increasing accessibility which will further increase the threats for biodiversity values.

  • Helicopter Tour to Kuril Lake-Caldera of Volcano Ksudach-Khodutkinskye Hot Springs (Tour 2)
    HELICOPTER TOUR TO VALLEY OF GEYSERS-CALDERA OF VOLCANO UZON-NALYCHEVO VALLEY (TOUR 1) Period – all the year Transportation – helicopter Tour time – 6 hours Flight time – approximately 2 hours 15 minutes The famous Valley of Geysers is a canyon which has one of the biggest geyser area in the world. It is hidden in a hard access gorge of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve. It is unrivalled in beauty, landscape grandeur and number of springs throwing out fountains of hot water and steam. Gushing geysers, raging mud cauldrons, a turquoise lake, hot water and steam jets flowing down the slopes together with the lush greenery of grass and trees create a really fantastic sight. Not far from the Valley of Geysers there is one more unique and impressive place - Uzon caldera. It is a giant cavity with the dimensions 9×12 km, resulting from destruction of the ancient volcano, having an intensive hydrothermal activity on the bottom. There are a lot of boiling and raging craters, numerous mud cauldrons and small volcanoes, yellow fumaroles areas, steamy grounds where the steam and hot water come out from the earth. The peculiarity of this place is the crater-like holes 25-40 m deep and in diameter 25-150 m, in which hot lakes of odd colours are situated. ROUTE 11.00-12.00 - Flight from heliport of Yelizovo city to the Valley of Geysers.

  • RUSSIAN FEDERATION This Large Site on the Western End of the Greater Caucasus Mountains Is in One of the Few Great Mountain Ranges of Europe Almost Undisturbed by Man
    WESTERN CAUCASUS RUSSIAN FEDERATION This large site on the western end of the Greater Caucasus Mountains is in one of the few great mountain ranges of Europe almost undisturbed by man. Its extensive mountain forests, from subtropical to alpine, are unique in Europe and its high pastures have been grazed only by wild animals. The site is on the edge of the Colchian centre of plant diversity barely 30 kilometres from the Black Sea. Stretching between lowlands and alpine mountains, it includes four-fifths of the ecosystems of the Caucasus and includes many endemic and relict species such as the reintroduced European bison. Threats to the site: Construction of more than 250 facilities for the 2014 Winter Olympics is heavily impinging on the site and region.

Together with her husband Dmitry and their ten-year-old daughter Nastya, she died in a fire caused by an electricity short-circuit in their house in Vsevolozhska near St. Petersburg. Masha had sheered up our excursion with her pleasant character and several of us had made concrete plans for further cooperation. Her departure again reminds us how precious life is and how much we must appreciate the beautiful devoted people we may meet in our joint struggle for mire conservation. We will miss her… Masha (l.) during the IMCG Field Symposium at the border of Nenets Nature Reserve. Photo: Tatiana Minajewa.

  • Transport and Infrastructural Basis of the Tourism Development Strategy in the Arkhangelsk Oblast © Aleksandr Yu
    Aleksandr Yu. TSVETKOV. Transport and infrastructural basis … 35 UDC [338.48+332.14](470.11)(045) DOI: 10.37482/issn2221-2698.2020.38.44 Transport and infrastructural basis of the tourism development strategy in the Arkhangelsk Oblast © Aleksandr Yu. TSVETKOV, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), associate professor E-mail: [email protected] Department of Management, Higher School of Economics, Management and Law, Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Arkhangelsk, Russia Abstract. The article, devoted to the analysis of transport and geographical locations, describes possible strategies for the development of tourism in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The main goal of the research was the development of logistic schemes of the transportation of tourists from the places of formation of tourist flows to the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The methodological basis of the article is to determine the economic dis- tances between potential tourist distribution centers and their places of interest in the area. Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Arkhangelsk were considered as the main towns of departure. Kargopol, Solvychegodsk, Kholmogory and Lomonosovo, Solovki, Kenozersky National Park, and Pinega caves are regarded as the main sites of tourist interest in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. It was determined that Kargopol is the most acces- sible for tourists, and Kenozersky National Park is the most recognizable by tourists but the least accessible. The object of world cultural heritage, the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour on Solovki is the most accessible for tourists from the territory of Karelia. It is recommended to optimize the schedule and to synchronize the work of transport for tourists to improve the transport accessibility of recreational facili- ties in the area.

Humber Insect Mycologist and Curator, ARSEF UPDATED July 2011 Some seemingly dramatic and comparatively recent changes in the classification of a number of fungi may continue to cause confusion or a degree of discomfort to many of the clients of the cultures and informational resources provided by the ARSEF culture collection. This short treatment is an attempt to summarize some of these changes, the reasons for them, and to provide the essential references to the literature in which the changes are proposed. As the Curator of the ARSEF collection I wish to assure you that these changes are appropriate, progressive, and necessary to modernize and to stabilize the systematics of the fungal pathogens affecting insects and other invertebrates, and I urge you to adopt them into your own thinking, teaching, and publications.
