Redkino (WGS84 coordinates: lat 56.381102, long 33.294292) is located on the lower stretch of the Tudovka River at rkm 51 (i.e., 51 km from the source of the river), the elevation is about 207 m, and the basin area at the site is 575 km². During the low flow period in the summer, channel width varies between 25 and 30 m and the depth is from 0.5 to 1.5 m. The station is within the boundaries of the Molodoi- tudskii Zakasnik, a protected area of about 80 km² between Redkino and Molodoi Tud, which was formed in 1992 and meets IUCN criteria III (Natural Monument) and IV (Habitat/ Species Management Area). The sediment is dominated by mud along the banks, while the streambed primarily consists of sand and stones. The solid substrate is covered by water moss (Fontinalis antipyretica) and algae (Clodophora glomer- ata), and along the banks Elodea canadiensis and Spargani- um emersum, in combination with large woody debris, form highly structured habitats (Figure 2).

Across multiple migrations and settlements from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, the Volga Germans’ self- constructed group identity served historically as a tool with which to navigate uncertain politics of belonging.

Boreal Env. Res. 16: 79–90. Knowledge about river ecosystems in the east European lowlands is scattered, however it is strongly needed for water management and conservation issues. The aim of the present study was to provide information on biotic key elements and their responses to major environmental gradients in a European lowland river. During the summers of 2006 and 2007, 124 diatom and 128 macroinvertebrate species were recorded in a pristine brown- water river, the Tudovka, a tributary of the Volga River. The canonical correspondence analysis showed that conductivity, pH and colour were significant environmental variables in explaining diatom data, while macroinvertebrate distribution was most related to dis- tance from source (rkm). The eigenvalues of the first two CCA axes were significant (p < 0.05) for diatoms and invertebrates. However, the diatom analysis explained more of the taxonomic variation (41.7% vs.

Read Full License Page 1/19 Abstract After the construction of the Volga Hydroelectric Station and other dams, migration routes of the Caspian lamprey were obstructed. The ecological niches vacated by this species attracted another lamprey of the genus Lampetra to the Upper Volga, which probably came from the Baltic Sea via the system of shipways developed in the 18 th and 19 th centuries. Based on collected samples and observations from sites in the Upper Volga basin, we provide diagnostic characters of adults, and information on spawning behavior. Silver coloration of Lampetra uviatilis was noted for the rst time and a new size-related subsample of “large” specimens was delimited, in addition to the previously described “dwarf”, “small” and “common” adult resident sizes categories. The three water systems: the Vyshnii Volochek, the Tikhvin and the Mariinskaya, are possible invasion pathways, based on the migration capabilities of the lampreys. Dispersal and colonization of the Caspian basin was likely a combination of upstream and downstreams migrations.

  • The Biological Ethos in Boris Pil'niak's Shorter Prose Helen Graves Halva
    Primitivist or Moralist?: The Biological Ethos in Boris Pil’niak’s Shorter Prose Helen Graves Halva A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures (Russian). Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Madeline G. Levine Radislav Lapushin Irene Masing-Delic Christopher Putney Ivana Vuletic © 2010 Helen Graves Crater Halva ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Helen Graves Halva: Primitivist or Moralist?: The Biological Ethos in Boris Pil’niak’s Shorter Prose (Under the direction of Madeline G. Levine) The so-called “woman question” raised by the “nihilists” of the 1860s and debated by the realist writers, notably Tolstoi, evolved into a revaluation of traditional sexual morality in the modernist movements of the twentieth century. In the wake of the dramatic social changes wrought by the 1905 and 1917 revolutions, there also arose a “neo-nihilist” reexamination of women’s emancipation issues, represented by political and cultural public figures such as Aleksandra Kollontai. This dissertation examines approximately twenty stories and novellas written between 1914 and 1936 by Russian/Soviet writer Boris Andreevich Vogau (pseudonym Pil’niak), and several units from his first novel, in order to present an interpretation of Pil’niak’s views on and position in that debate, based on close readings of the texts mentioned. This dissertation argues that Pil’niak, considered by many commentators a champion of primitive man and instinctive behavior, in fact defines a biological morality based on pre-marital virginity, permanent sexual fidelity to a single mate, personal integrity and self-awareness, and a reproductive mandate.
