  • Development of Forest Sector in the Arkhangelsk Oblast During the Transition Period of the 1990S
    Development of forest sector in the Arkhangelsk oblast during the transition period of the 1990s ALBINA PASHKEVICH Pashkevich Albina (2003). Development of forest sector in the Arkhangelsk oblast during the transition period of the 1990s. Fennia 181: 1, pp. 13–24. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. The Arkhangelsk oblast has long been one of Russia’s most important forest industrial regions. This paper analyses the changes in accessibility of forest resources and forest commodity production during the transition period in the 1990s. Special attention is given to firm restructuring, active roles of domestic capital and the different survival strategies that have been developed by in- dustries in the region. Further analysis deals with signs of economic recovery in the forest sector due to the processes of restructuring, modernisation and self-organisation.

The Imperial Russian Revision Lists of the 18th and 19th Century JOSEPH B. EVERETT* Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA One of the most important resources for social and family historians researching in the former Russian Empire are the revision lists, a series of ten enumerations of the population conducted between 1719 and 1858. Listing the members of each household among taxable classes of people across the Russian Empire, the revisions lists are useful for studying historical population demographics and reconstructing family relationships. An awareness of these records and where to access them can be useful for Slavic librarians to facilitate the research of Russian historians and genealogists. This article provides an overview of the history and content of the revision lists with a survey of available collections online and offline. KEYWORDS: Russian Empire, revision lists, census, social history, genealogy, family history, demographics, archives, microfilming, digitization, online databases The Imperial Russian revision lists will be familiar to those acquainted with Nikolai Gogol’s 1842 satirical novel Dead Souls.

  • 4.3 National Holidays As a Multiplier of Ethno-Tourism in the Komi Republic
    Community development 161 4.3 National holidays as a multiplier of ethno-tourism in the Komi Republic Galina Gabucheva This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7557/5.3210 Introduction The Komi Republic has a vast territory, and a rich historical and cultural heritage. There is untouched wildness in most regions, which is a prerequisite for the development of various forms of tourism. A relatively new, but actively developing, sphere of tourism industry in the republic is ethnic tourism linked to the lifestyle and traditions of the Komi people. People increasingly want not just to travel in comfort, but also through a special experience where they learn and try something new. How did our ancestors live without electricity? How did they stoke the stove and light up the house? What tools and objects did they use in everyday life? How did they cultivate crops, hunt, and fish? How did they conduct holidays and feasts, what did they drink and eat, how did they sing and dance? Due to the geographic isolation of the Komi Republic, this Northern European ethnic culture is preserved in the form of traditions and customs, ideas about the world and beliefs, used instruments of labour, clothing and housing, monuments of antiquity, and legends and epic tales. This certainly provides a good basis for the development of ethno-cultural tourism in our region. Ethno-tourism in Komi Today, a number of ethno-tourism projects have been developed by some travel agencies within the republic.

  • The Property Rights to Be Reformed
    Chapter 2 The Property Rights to Be Reformed ‘‘Reform’’ makes sense only if there is a problem. Indeed, a problem did exist, and to understand it, it is important to examine the characteristics of ‘‘open fields,’’ repartition, and family tenure and to explore some of the theories of their origins. If these reflected some almost unchangeable attribute of the Russian character, then remedies such as Stolypin’s would have been naı¨ve; but the character explanation seems most unlikely. The next step is, then, to look at how these practices were likely to have inflicted serious productivity losses, and to ask why, if these losses were substantial, the peasants didn’t cure them through voluntary transactions among themselves or between individual peasants and their communes. Finally, this chapter explores some more general questions about peasants’ habits of mind, solidarity, and outlook on some of the key attributes of modernity such as law and property.

Although the two features—plot scattering and the mixture of individual and collective control—were conceptually in- dependent, they seem to have generally existed together. In mixing collective and individual control, open fields enabled farmers to use the same land for activities that were best conducted on different scales. Animals grazed over large tracts, reducing the costs of fencing and of keeping an eye on the animals.

  • Land Redistributions and the Russian Peasant Commune in the Late-Imperial Period
    Land Redistributions and the Russian Peasant Commune in the Late-Imperial Period Steven Nafziger1 Preliminary and Incomplete Comments welcome and encouraged. Version: December, 2004 1Department of Economics, Yale University, [email protected]. This paper forms part of a larger project on the economics of rural development in Russia between 1861 and 1917. Research for this project was supported in part by the Title VIII Combined Research and Language Training Program, which is funded by the U.S. State Department and admin- istered by the American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS. The opinions expressed herein are the author’s and do not necessarily express the views of either the State Department or American Councils. Further support from the Economic History Association, the Sasakawa Foundation, Yale’s Economic Growth Center, and the Yale Center for Interna- tional and Area Studies is very much appreciated. The comments and suggestions of Tracy Dennison, Daniel Field, Timothy Guinnane, Mark Harrison, Valery Lazarev, Carol Leonard, Jason Long, Angela Micah, Carolyn Moehling, Benjamin Polak, Christopher Udry, and partic- ipants at the 2004 World Cliometric Congress, the 2004 Economic History Association meet- ings, and seminars at Yale and Harvard Universities were extremely helpful. Errors remain the exclusive property of the author. Abstract This paper investigates the motivations for, and effects of, intra-community land re- distributions by Russian peasants in the 19th century. Scholars such as Alexander Gerschenkron have emphasized that such repartitions of arable land create negative investment and innovation incentives and played a major role in hampering rural de- velopment in the period after serfdom.

Introduction. Roman Polshvedkin (Senior Deputy Minister, Ministry of Industry, Natural Resources, Energy and Transport of the Komi Republic) welcomed the participants of the meeting on behalf of the Ministry of Industry, Natural Resources, Energy and Transport of the Komi Republic. He underlined progress made by the Komi Republic in the Hot Spots elimination process, and mentioned rather high level of pollution remaining in the industrial centers of the region (such as Syktyvkar, Uhta and Vorkuta). The meeting will focus on Ko7, Ko3-2, Ko1 and Ko2-1. Waste management won’t be discussed at the meeting due to the complicity of the situation related to changes in the Russian environmental legislation. In the beginning of 2018 regional operator in solid waste sector is to be appointed, and the Republic will continue negotiations with NEFCO. Mr. Polshvedkin expressed gratitude to Tatiana Tyupenko for assistance on organizing the meeting. Co-Chair of the Barents WGE Subgroup on Hot Spots Exclusion (SHE) Hanne Aronsen (Norwegian Environmental Agency) thanked the organizers for inviting the SHE group to Syktyvkar to meet with the regional Hotspot Exclusion Group (HEG). The other co-Chair of the SHE Subgroup, Maria Dronova from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, couldn’t participate in the event.
