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.

Kupressova, Sergey V. Romanenko INO Tomsk Centre for Resource Saving and Energy Efficiency, Belinskogo Street, 51, Tomsk, Russian Federation, 634034 [email protected] There is a significant number of decentralized energy sources in the energy system of the Tomsk region (Russia). Heat supply sources are represented by boiler houses on solid (coal, wood, chips) and liquid fuel (oil). Besides technical factors, such as high percentage of wear of equipment used for power supply, low efficiency of energy production, loss of heat energy in transfer, there are important economic problem in the decentralized energy producing in the Tomsk region. High cost of fuel transportation to remote settlements determines high tariffs for heat and electricity supply, which makes it necessary to provide subsidies for the population. A decision system has been developed to switch decentralized heat sources with low energy consumption to local and renewable fuels in the region. The scheme takes into account the practical use of long-term studies of local and renewable energy sources potential in the Tomsk region. Results of the work of scientists and the Administration of the Tomsk Region are presented in Geo-information system (2018).

The article deals with application potential of clean alternative renewable energy sources. By means of system analysis the forecast for consumption of electrical energy in Tomsk Oblast as well as main energy sources of existing energy system have been studied up to 2018. Engineering potential of renewable and alternative energy sources is evaluated. Besides, ranking in the order of their efficiency descending is performed. It is concluded that Tomsk Oblast has high potential of alternative and renewable energy sources, among which the most promising development perspective is implementation of gasification stations to save fuel consumed by diesel power stations as well as building wind-power plants. 1. Introduction In recent years increasingly greater attention is paid to the problems of utilizing clean alternative renewable energy sources to meet energy supply demands in different agricultural and industrial spheres. The relevance and perspectiveness of the given trend are conditioned by the two key factors: catastrophic situation in the environment and necessity of searching for new kinds of energy [1].

Conclusions Annex 1: Sample Description and Methodology 1. Introduction Public sector corruption, commonly understood as the misuse of public office for private gain, exists throughout the world and is widespread in many places. Corruption has been shown to be very costly to economic growth and inhibits the development of effective governing practices. From an economic perspective, corruption increases the cost of doing public and private business and is a major disincentive for investors. From a governance perspective, corruption distorts the intent and implementation of laws and regulations, limits the delivery and quality of government services, excludes citizens from open participation in their government, and reduces government accountability, transparency and legitimacy. The objectives of this assessment report are to support the efforts of the Tomsk Oblast and City Administrations and civil society to enhance economic growth and good governance practices by promoting an effective and well-informed strategy against corruption.

  • The Gulag and Soviet Society in Western Siberia, 1929-1953
    THE GULAG AND SOVIET SOCIETY IN WESTERN SIBERIA, 1929-1953 by Wilson T. Bell A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Wilson T. Bell (2011) Abstract “The Gulag and Soviet Society in Western Siberia, 1929-1953” Doctor of Philosophy 2011 Wilson T. Bell Graduate Department of History University of Toronto “The Gulag and Soviet Society in Western Siberia, 1929-1953” examines the history of forced labour during the Stalin era in Western Siberia, or present-day Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Kemerovo Provinces. The region was a key site of Stalin-era repression, as it was home to numerous Gulag camps including Siblag, one of the longest lasting and most economically diversified of the many prison-labour camps scattered throughout the former Soviet Union. Western Siberia was also one of the main areas of exile for peasants and, later, displaced ethnic groups. The dissertation traces the seeming contradictions in the development of the Gulag by juxtaposing the very modern, bureaucratic “Gulag” as it appeared on paper, with the “Gulag” on the ground that relied heavily on informal practices, data falsification, and personal connections. The Gulag is thus emblematic of the “neo-traditional” modernization of the Soviet Union under Stalin. The dissertation also examines points of illicit and condoned interaction between the Gulag and surrounding population centres, thus challenging Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s seminal and enduring depiction of the Gulag as an isolated archipelago of concentration camps. Illicit interaction included widespread black-market activity, the smuggling of correspondence, sexual affairs, and, surprisingly, even instances of locals sneaking into the camps to use camp facilities.

Data have been obtained from groundwater (wells, boreholes and springs), rivers, lakes and discharges from abandoned mines and mine wastes. Of particular interest are the following observations: (i) The shallow groundwaters ofthe Tomsk region are typically dominated by relatively high concentrations of Ca++ and bicarbonate alkalinity, and slightly alkaline pH. The high concentrations may reflect high partial pressures of C02 in recharge water.
