To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007). -

Abstract Description of the main karstic regions of Siberia and Far East, and the most important caves. Survey of the subterranean species collected in caves, springs, hyporheic and MSSh. Relationship with the climate and glacial paleoclimatic periods to explain the paucity of the terrestrial fauna of Siberia. Persistence of some aquatic stygobionts (Crustacea), and richness of the subterranean fauna of the Far East, particularily in the Sikhote-Alin. The Crutaceans of the eastern part of the Ussury basin and Sakhalin Island have relationship with the Japanese and Korean fauna. Key words: karst, caves, springs, MSS, subterranean fauna, biogeography. 1 Generalities and History The study of caves in Siberia was begun in the late 17th century (Tsykin et al., 1979), but the first published report were made as early as in the 18th century by swedish geographer P. von Strahlenberg who in 1722 visited the cave on the Yenisei river bank above Krasnoyarsk and gave a short description, which is considered the first report of caves in Siberia (Strahlenberg, 1730). -

The approach taken was to compare the status and population trends of stocks of key cetacean species in three areas with E&P activities―Alaska (subdivided into three regions, the Beaufort, Bering and Chukchi seas), Australia (Western and southeast regions), and Sakhalin Island, Russia―with corresponding parameters for stocks of the same species (where possible) in areas where E&P activities were absent or greatly reduced. The project involved a critical review of existing and historical data on cetacean stocks, and a compilation of data on E&P activities and non-industry factors that may have influenced stocks, in the areas of interest. Data were assessed in terms of quality, quantity, and temporal and spatial coverage to determine whether sufficient data were available for a reasonable assessment of correlations between cetacean populations and E&P activities. -

Routes and Intensity of Geese Migration Over Northern Sakhalin and the Mainland Part of Tatar Strait I

Rozhdestvenskaya 63, YuzhnoSakhalinsk, 693007 Russia cResearch Institute for Applied Mechanics, 61 Kasuga, Fukuoka, 8168580 Japan Received March 26, 2010 Abstract—The intensity of geese migration has increased since 2005, and its routes have shifted eastward. The main migration route of the geese previously passed over the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk, far from the coast; since 2005, however, a major migration flow has been recorded over northern Sakhalin and the main land part of Tatar Strait. A probable factor accounting for this shift is a change in weather conditions and, in particular, in the circulation of air masses over the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk. Keywords: geese, migration, flight dates, numbers, northern Sakhalin, Tatar Strait.

Nivkhi on the Social Organization of the Gilyak, 1995 B Y Bruce Grant
AF T E RW O R D: AF T E R L I V E S A N D AF T E RW O R L D S Nivkhi on The Social Organization of the Gilyak, 1995 B Y Bruce Grant B Y T H E A D V E N T of World War II, the lives of most Gilyaks had changed dramati- cally. The Soviet government officially recognized the use of their self-designation, “Nivkh,” and in the Soviet drive to create proletarians from primitives, the idea of “Gilyak” came to take on pejorative connotations of all things past. That the gov- er nment embraced the name “Nivkh” as a hallmark of native self-determination, but simultaneously forbade Nivkhi to speak the Nivkh language, was only one of many contradictions between tradition and modernity that their belonging in the new Sovi- et Union had set before them.1 For the new Nivkh society, one of the greatest legacies of the post-World War II period was the widespread integration of women into the workforce. Before the war, efforts to recruit women into Sovietized native institutions such as clan councils foundered on the reluctance of Nivkh men and women alike. With the conscription of Nivkh and Russian men to the war front, women all over Sakhalin and the Amur had to take the work of the fishing collectives into their own hands. During my own fieldwork on Sakhalin in 1990, one woman explained to me, I was 10 when the war started. I had only been in school a year but our mother had no money, so I started working on the kolkhoz. -

How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. 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. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country. -

The rotundicollis and sanguinolentus species groups (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Staphylininae) H. SCHILLHAMMER Abstract The Philonthus rotundicollis and sanguinolentus species groups are subject of part 5 of the Revision of the East Palaearctic and Oriental species of Philonthus STEPHENS, 1829. Nine new species are described: P. turnai (China), P. schuhi (India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia), P. smetanai (Taiwan), P.flavohumeralis (Nepal, India), P. arunensis (Nepal), P. schuelkei (China), P. amplicollis (Nepal), P. ildefonso (China) and P. fasciventris (China). Philonthus picimanus (MÉNÉTRIÉS, 1832) and P. sinuatocollis MOTSCHULSKY, 1860 are removed from synonymy with P. rotundicollis (MÉNÉTRIÉS, 1832). Neotypes are designated for P. rotundicollis and P. sinuatocollis; lectotypes are designated for P. idiocerus KRAATZ, 1859, P. densus CAMERON, 1926, P. beesoni CAMERON, 1926 and P. virgatus SHARP, 1889. Philonthus rotundicollis ssp. nigropolitus BERNHAUER, 1916 and P. rotundicollis ssp. inopinatus SMETANA, 1963 are placed in synonymy with the nominate subspecies, P. formaneki ROUBAL, 1911 and P. formaneki var. incompletus ROUBAL, 1911 are placed in synonymy with P. picimanus. The species groups are briefly characterized and keys to species of both groups are provided.
