THE REPUBLIC OF NOVGOROD (‘ LORD NOVGOROD THE GREAT," Gospodin Velikii Novgorod, as it once called itself, is the starting-point of Russian history. It is also without a rival among the Russian city-states of the Middle Ages. Kiev and Moscow are greater in political importance, especially in the earliest and latest mediaeval times-before the Second Crusade and after the fall of Constantinople-but no Russian town of any age has the same individuality and self-sufficiency, the same sturdy republican independence, activity, and success. Who can stand against God and the Great Novgorod ?-Kto protiv Boga i Velikago Novgoroda .J-was the famous proverbial expression of this self-sufficiency and success. From the beginning of the Crusading Age to the fall of the Byzantine Empire Novgorod is unique among Russian cities, not only for its population, its commerce, and its citizen army (assuring it almost complete freedom from external domination even in the Mongol Age), but also as controlling an empire, or sphere of influence, extending over the far North from Lapland to the Urals and the Ob.

Kosygina 19, GSP1, Moscow, 119991 Russia Received June 21, 2011 Abstract—The results of studying the composition of hydrocarbon gases (C1–C5) and organic matter in bot tom sediments of the Ivankovo Reservoir in 1995, 2004, and 2005 are given. The methods used in the study include vaporphase gas chromatography, instrumental pyrolysis gas chromatography, and massspectrom 13 etry for determining organic carbon δ Corg. The gas field of bottom sediments in different regions of the res ervoir varies widely in terms of gas saturation and the spectrum of hydrocarbon gases. This suggests the het erogeneous composition of organic matter in the sediments and different conditions of its input and transfor mation processes. The gases were found to contain saturated hydrocarbons from methane to pentane C1–C5, including isomers iC4 and iC5 and unsaturated compounds C2–C4. A correlation was found to exist between methane distribution and the distribution of its more highmolecular homologues, which confirms their genetic relationship in bottom sediments.

    Russia Nuclear Power Development Chronology 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | 2001 | 2000 | 1999 | 1998-1997 | 1996 | 1995 | 1994 | 1993 Last update: January 2008 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation. 2004 16 January 2004 GOSATOMNADZOR EXTENDS NPP SERVICE LIVES On 16 January 2004, Interfax reported that Rosenergoatom had received a license from Gosatomnadzor to extend the service life of Bilibino NPP Unit 1 for a year. In 2001-2002, licenses were issued to extend the service lives of Novovoronezh NPP Units 3 and 4, and in 2003 a similar license was issued to Unit 1 at Kola NPP. As of January 2004, work was under way to upgrade the equipment at Leningrad NPP Unit 1 and Kola NPP Unit 2.

  • Mikhail Zhilin EARLY MESOLITHIC BONE ARROWHEADS from the VOLGA-OKA INTERFLUVE, CENTRAL RUSSIA
    Fennoscandia archaeologica XXXII (2015) Mikhail Zhilin EARLY MESOLITHIC BONE ARROWHEADS FROM THE VOLGA-OKA INTERFLUVE, CENTRAL RUSSIA Abstract Several different types of bone arrowheads were produced and used during the Early Mesolithic in the Volga-Oka interfluve. In this paper, recent research on these artefacts is reviewed, and their means of manufacture and ways of use determined through microscopy and experimental research. The research highlights the skill of the Early Mesolithic inhabitants of the Volga-Oka interfluve in manufacturing bone arrowheads, used for hunting various animals. A similarity was observed between the flint industry of pre-boreal sites of the Volga-Oka region and those of southern Finland, especially with respect to tanged flint arrowheads. The similarity suggests that the Early Mesolithic population of southern Finland and Karelian Isthmus most probably produced and used bone arrowheads similar to those described in the article. However, because bone artefacts are generally missing in the latter regions because of acrid soils, the conclusion should be regarded as a working hypothesis.

  • Early Mesolithic Barbed Bone Points in the Volga-Oka Interfluve
    D. Groß/H. Lübke/J. Meadows/D. Jantzen (eds.): From Bone and Antler to Early Mesolithic Life in Northern Europe. Untersuchungen und Materialien zur Steinzeit in Schleswig-Holstein und im Ostseeraum 10 (Kiel / Hamburg 2019). ISBN 978-3-529-01861-9. Early Mesolithic barbed bone points in the Volga-Oka interfluve Mikhail G. Zhilin Abstract Complex research on various barbed points from early Mesolithic sites in the Volga-Oka interfluve showed that they were the heads of different categories of hunting weapons, mostly projectiles. Analyses of their shape, size and use-wear traces made it possible to single out arrowheads, javelin or leister points, throwing and thrusting spearheads and harpoons. The earliest of them emerge in the first half of the Preboreal period, but the full flou- rishing of various categories of barbed weapons is observed during the late Preboreal to early Boreal periods and later. Some types and variants are numerous and have a long history, while others are represented only by single finds. The former represent more or less standard mass products, while the latter can be treated as experimental artefacts which played no significant role. Together with other types of bone and antler hunting weapons barbed projectile points played an important role in subsistence strategies of the Early Mesolithic po- pulation of the Volga-Oka interfluve and their adaptation to the forest environment during the early Holocene. 1 Introduction Among a range of Mesolithic bone and antler artefacts various points occupy a prominent place. They were used in different ways, but the majority of them was connected with hunting and fishing.

  • Case Study X* - Moscow Region, Russia
    Case Study X* - Moscow Region, Russia * This case study was prepared by V. A. Vladimirov X.1 Introduction The Russian Federation state report "Drinking Water" issued in 1994, highlighted among other things the ongoing deterioration in water quality and in the reliability of the Moscow region drinking water supply (State Report, 1994). Almost all studies undertaken in the region in recent years, have indicated that the inadequate technical and sanitary condition of the water sources could lead to risks to human health for the population in this vast and important area (Anon, 1992). These potential problems with the Moscow region drinking water supply are of great concern to the Government of the Russian Federation, the authorities of Moscow City, Moscow, Smolensk and Tver Oblasts, to the mass media and to non-governmental organisations (NGOs). However, it was recognised that the policy and strategy for improvement of the region's water supplies should be based on a comprehensive and environmentally-sound approach. The Ministerial Conference on Drinking Water and Environmental Sanitation "Implementing UNCED Agenda 21" (held in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, March 1993) set forth guiding principles for safe drinking water supply schemes, thereby providing the basis for immediate action by national government and supporting agencies and institutions (UNDP, 1994). In formulating the "Program of Water Quality Improvement in the Sources of Moscow Drinking Water Supply", which was completed in 1994, some efforts were made in the Moscow region to apply those principles in order to attain overall environmental quality and sustainable development objectives. X.2 Description of the region The Moscow region (Figure X.1) is located in the western part of the Upper Volga river basin and encompasses the catchment areas of the Volga river with its tributaries (from headwater down to the Ivankovskoye Reservoir dam) and the Moscow river (from headwater down to Moscow City).

Read Full License Page 1/11 Abstract Topical issues of modern geoecology related to the study of pollution of sediments of water bodies with heavy metals are considered. The Volga River basin, within which the research was carried out, is a rather heterogeneous picture, both in geological, geomophological and hydrological terms, and in technogenic development and use. A four-level taxonomy is presented in the selection of sites for monitoring, based on a combination of natural-landscape-climatic and technogenic factors. The highest taxon (areas of category I) includes the basins of reservoirs with the adjacent slopes and the residential and industrial- agricultural structures located within them. Within these areas, smaller taxa are distinguished - areas of category II - industrial and urban areas.
