The National Committee has organised three events of this kind: the XXXIII International Geographical Congress in 1976 and the Scientific Conferences of 1995 and 2003. The most pressing issues in contemporary geography will be at the centre of this year’s scientific programme. Participants will examine global conflicts and potential solutions; discuss climate change, environmental quality and diverse aspects of geoecology; and share experiences and results from polar research. Geography education will be a key topic at the conference, and the 12th International Geography Olympiad will take place within its framework. I am confident that the 2015 IGU Regional Conference will be an important career step for many scientists, including young geographers in Russia. The organizing committee make every effort to create a favourable environment for active discussion of the most urgent issues in geography today.” Professor Vladimir Kolosov President of the International Geographical Union Geography is the science about fundamental laws of interaction between nature and society, sustainable development, territorial organisation of human life and improvement of its quality. It is a unique discipline integrating natural and social sciences. The International Geographical Union (IGU) – one of the world’s oldest scientific associations, which will soon celebrate its centenary coordinates geographical studies. It currently includes 90 countries, and its 41 commissions cover a wide range of disciplines and issues: from geomorphology, climatology and biogeography to population geography and toponymy, from desertification, natural hazards and disasters to the formation of megacities and the adaptation of local communities to global change. Over 15,000 experts participate regularly in IGU commissions; scientists collaborate with professionals from myriad fields that include regional planning, state and municipal government, environmental protection and geographic information systems. The IGU pays careful attention to geographical education, which plays an essential role in shaping human worldviews and the ability to navigate safely in different natural environment. The IGU Commission on Geographical Education relies on a network of national organisations that unite tens of thousands of geography teachers. The IGU holds an international congress every four years. Its participants elect members of the Executive and Commissions’ Chairs. Regional conferences are key events in the period between congresses. They are held in different regions of the world and usually gather 1,000-1,500 participants from many countries. The conferences’ programme is highly varied and includes scientific sessions; exhibitions of scientific and popular literature, maps, atlases and new developments in geoinformatics; special days for young scientists and for teachers from secondary and higher education institutions; and lectures by leading scholars. Russian geographers are honoured to host the 2015 IGU Regional Conference. It is organised by the Russian Geographical Society (RGS), the Lomonosov Moscow State University (LMSU) Faculty of Geography, and the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Institute of Geography. 4 ORGANISERS The International Geographical Union (IGU) is an international, non-governmental, professional organization devoted to the development of the discipline of geography. The IGU is one of the oldest international scientific associations formally established in Brussels in 1922. However, the history of international meetings of geographers is much longer. The International Geographical Congress was hold in 1871 in Antwerp. The Union promotes the study of geographical problems; initiates and coordinates geographical research requiring international cooperation and promotes its scientific discussion and publication; provides for the participation of geographers in the work of relevant international organizations; facilitates the collection and diffusion of geographical data and documentation in and between all member countries; promotes international standardization or compatibility of methods, nomenclature, and symbols employed in geography. The IGU holds the International Geographical Congress every four years and promotes Regional Conferences and other meetings between the International Geographical Congresses, and other meetings in furtherance of the objectives of the Union. The IGU also facilitates the participation of geographers in the global community of scientists through its formal affiliation as a Member Union within both the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC). Since its early days the Union has consisted of three major components: a General Assembly of the delegates appointed by the member countries which meets at the time of the Congress and is the highest authority of the Union; an Executive Committee which consists of a President, eight Vice-Presidents and a Secretary-General and Treasurer; Commissions and Study Groups which continue their work between General Assembly meetings. Commissions and Task Forces are research bodies of the IGU that cover a very wide range of research topics within the discipline of Geography. The work of the IGU is conducted also through the instruments of its National Committees in the countries members. Nowadays the IGU reunites geographical communities from 90 countries. Soviet/Russian geographers joined IGU in 1956. They are represented by the National Committee of Russian Geographers approved by the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2012, Dr. Vladimir Kolosov became the IGU’s first Russian president. The working languages of the Union are English and French. The Russian Geographical Society (RGS) was founded in 1845 on the decree by Nicholas I. It is among the oldest geographical societies in the world. The RGS unites experts in geography and cognate sciences – as well as teachers, travel enthusiasts, environmentalists, public figures and anyone prepared to help study and preserve Russia’s natural heritage – with the aim of promoting the acquisition and dissemination of related knowledge. In past years, the RGS was led by representatives of the royal family, illustrious travelers, researchers and state officials. Its honorary members included Russian government, academic and other public figures such as P. P. Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky, S. Yu. Witte, N. I. Vavilov, V. I. Vernadsky, F. P. Wrangell, A. M. Gorchakov, V. I. Dahl and V. A. Obruchev, as well as prominent world figures like King Leopold II of Belgium, Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, King Oscar II of Norway, Shah Qajar Nasser Aldini of Persia and explorers Baron Ferdinand Richthofen, Roald Amundsen, Fridtjof Nansen and Thor Heyerdahl. Hundreds of RGS expeditions have played important roles in understanding the Arctic, Siberia, the Far East, the Middle East, Central Asia, Australia and the World Ocean. Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu serves as President of the RGS since 2009. In this period, the Society

  • Announcement the International Historical, Educational, Charitable and Human Rights Society Memorial, Based in Moscow, Asks
    Network of Concerned Historians NCH Campaigns Year Year Circular Country Name original follow- up 2017 88 Russia Yuri Dmitriev 2020 Announcement The international historical, educational, charitable and human rights society Memorial, based in Moscow, asks you to sign a petition in support of imprisoned historian and Gulag researcher Yuri Dmitriev in Karelia. The petition calls for Yuri Dmitriev to be placed under house arrest for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or until his court case is over. The petition can be signed in Russian, English, French, Italian, German, Hebrew, Polish, Czech, and Finnish. It can be found here and here. This is the second petition for Yuri Dmitriev. The first, from 2017, can be found here. Please find below: (1) a NCH case summary (2) the petition text in English. P.S. Another historian, Sergei Koltyrin – who had defended Yuri Dmitriev and was subsequently imprisoned under charges similar to his – died in a prison hospital in Medvezhegorsk, Karelia, on 2 April 2020. Please sign the petition immediately. ========== NCH CASE SUMMARY On 13 December 2016, the Federal Security Service (FSB) arrested Karelian historian Yuri Dmitriev (1956–) and held him in remand prison on charges of “preparing and circulating child pornography” and “depravity involving a minor [his foster child, eleven or twelve years old in 2017].” The arrest came after an anonymous tip: the individual and his motives, as well as how he got the private information, remain unknown. Dmitriev said the “pornographic” photos of his foster child were taken because medical workers had asked him to monitor the health and development of the girl, who was malnourished and unhealthy when he and his wife took her in at age three with the intention of adopting her.

  • State-Sponsored Violence in the Soviet Union: Skeletal Trauma and Burial Organization in a Post-World War Ii Lithuanian Sample
    STATE-SPONSORED VIOLENCE IN THE SOVIET UNION: SKELETAL TRAUMA AND BURIAL ORGANIZATION IN A POST-WORLD WAR II LITHUANIAN SAMPLE By Catherine Elizabeth Bird A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology- Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT STATE-SPONSORED VIOLENCE IN THE SOVIET UNION: SKELETAL TRAUMA AND BURIAL ORGANIZATION IN A POST WORLD WAR II LITHUANIAN SAMPLE By Catherine Elizabeth Bird The Stalinist period represented one of the worst eras of human rights abuse in the Soviet Union. This dissertation investigates both the victims and perpetrators of violence in the Soviet Union during the Stalinist period through a site specific and regional evaluation of burial treatment and perimortem trauma. Specifically, it compares burial treatment and perimortem trauma in a sample (n = 155) of prisoners executed in the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic (L.S.S.R.) by the Soviet security apparatus from 1944 to 1947, known as the Tuskulenai case. Skeletal and mortuary variables are compared both over time and between security personnel in the Tuskulenai case. However, the Tuskulenai case does not represent an isolated event. Numerous other sites of state-sponsored violence are well known. In order to understand the temporal and geographical distribution of Soviet violence, this study subsequently compares burial treatment and perimortem trauma observed in the Tuskulenai case to data published in site reports for three other cases of Soviet state-sponsored violence (Vinnytsia, Katyn, and Rainiai). This dissertation discusses state-sponsored violence in the Soviet Union in the context of social and political theory advocated by Max Weber and within a principal-agent framework.

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.
