Geologicheskaya 49, Novosibirsk, 630010, Russia Received 25 May 2010; accepted 7 October 2010 Abstract The resistivity pattern at the site of the “Crystal” underground nuclear explosion (Daldyn–Alakit district of Yakutia) of 1974 which led to an accident has been imaged using TEM data. The local background pattern corresponds to a three- or four-layer earth with a conductor at the base. The uppermost layer, with a resistivity of tens to hundreds of ohm ⋅ m, has its bottom at 190–260 m asl and consists of perennially frozen Late Cambrian carbonates. The resistivity structure of shallow subsurface at the blast epicenter remained unperturbed though being subject to mechanic and thermal effects. The bottom of the second layer is at 20 to 190 m below the sealevel and its resistivity is 7–10 ohm ⋅ m. It is composed of frost-bound and unfrozen cold rocks that belong to a Late Cambrian water-bearing sequence (an aquifer). -
Social and Environmental Report 2015
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 2015 ALROSA* is a Russian Group of diamond mining companies that occupies a leading position in the industry and has the largest rough diamond reserves in the world. The Group accounts for one third of the reserves and more than a quarter of the production of the global rough diamonds market. The key areas of activity, comprising the focus of the major strategic efforts of the Group, are deposits exploration, mining, processing and sales of rough diamonds. The core activities of ALROSA Group are concentrated in two regions of the Russian Federation, namely the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Arkhangelsk Region, as well as on the African continent. The majority of ALROSA Group revenue comes from selling rough diamonds. Rough diamonds are sold under long-term agreements to Russian and foreign diamond cutting companies. The rough diamond segment accounts for about 90% of the total Group revenue. *For the purpose of this Report, ALROSA Group means PJSC ALROSA and its subsidiaries.

Abstract Background: Broad-scale phylogeographic studies of freshwater organisms provide not only an invaluable framework for understanding the evolutionary history of species, but also a genetic imprint of the paleo- hydrological dynamics stemming from climatic change. Few such studies have been carried out in Siberia, a vast region over which the extent of Pleistocene glaciation is still disputed. -

Co-Option in Siberia: the Case of Diamonds and the Vilyuy Sakha1,2
CO-OPTION IN SIBERIA: THE CASE OF DIAMONDS AND THE VILYUY SAKHA1,2 Susan A. Crate Institute of Environmental Sciences, Geography, and Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio 45056 Abstract: A specialist on the Vilyuy Sakha, a native non-Russian people of north- eastern Siberia, Russia, examines the public health and environmental challenges threat- ening the livelihood of the group. The paper presents a case study of political activism among the Vilyuy Sakha in the immediate post-Soviet period, as regional citizens were able to gain access to information on the pollution caused by diamond mining and other forms of industrial development. The demand for public health and environmental infor- mation, and mobilization against proposals for new mine development, emerged rapidly during the post-Soviet period, but disappeared almost as suddenly in the late 1990s. This paper explores the reasons for the disappearance of this evolving citizens’ environmental movement, arguing that a major cause was co-option by elite diamond interests. 1The following case study is based on the author’s last 12 years of work and research in the Vilyuy River regions of the western Sakha Republic, Russia. In 1991 and 1992, the author performed a contempo- rary analysis of the Sakha traditional summer festival, yhyakh, which comprised the field work for her mas- ter’s degree in folklore from UNC-Chapel Hill. In 1993, she studied the indigenous Sakha language with support from an IREX on-site language training grant. In 1994, the author received a two-year grant (1994– 1995 inclusive) from the John D. -
Products from Mammoth Tusk in Yakutia in the 18Th Century (Based on the Materials of Funerary Monuments)
SHS Web of Conferences 112, 00013 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/202111200013 Northern Sustainable Development Forum 2020 Products from mammoth Tusk in Yakutia in the 18th century (based on the materials of funerary monuments) Aleksandra Prokopieva*, and Aytalina Sleptsova Institute for Humanities Research and Indigenous Studies of the North of the RAS, 1, Petrovskogo St., Yakutsk, 677027, Russia Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of products made from mammoth Tusk in Yakut burials of the 18th century. The work is based on literary and archival as well as on the collections of the museums. Analysis of products made from mammoth Tusk showed that they were not widely distributed among the Yakuts. This could be due to the fact that in the religious beliefs of the peoples of Yakutia the mammoth had a negative colour. Two movements of carving from a mammoth Tusk in the 18th century were revealed. The first movement was based on the traditions and techniques of local carving, and the second one was based on imitation of the Northern Russian school. 1 Introduction make assumptions about the status of the buried person, his occupation and professional affiliation. To identify Mammoth mining, import and export of raw materials items made of mammoth tusk in the burials, we studied from Russia and the manufacture of tusk products are museum collections (Yakut State United Museum of becoming topical issues in the Arctic zone of Russia and History and Culture of the Peoples of the North named Yakutia in particular. Both practical and theoretical after Em. Yaroslavsky, Museum of Archeology, aspects of this problem are being discussed. -

Between Indigeneity and Nationality: the Politics of Culture and Nature in Russia’S Diamond Province
BETWEEN INDIGENEITY AND NATIONALITY: THE POLITICS OF CULTURE AND NATURE IN RUSSIA’S DIAMOND PROVINCE by Susan M. Hicks M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2011 © Susan M. Hicks, 2011 Abstract Despite a half century of rapid, state-sponsored industrialization in the region, only with its more recent, abrupt exposure to global capitalism has Siberia become a hotly contested site of debates over both indigenous rights and natural resource extraction. The Sakha Republic (Yakutia), a Northeastern Siberian region twice the size of Alaska, is now a particularly crucial site of contestation, boasting diamond reserves that produce about 25% of the world‘s diamonds. The region is also home to a sizeable, highly educated indigenous population, the Sakha, who comprise over 45% of the Republic‘s residents. Sakha activists have been engaged in a sustained project of cultural revival that has drawn upon globally circulating representations of indigeneity to contest environmental destruction, assert political control over their lands and resources, and to challenge socio-economic marginalization. However, in post-Soviet Siberia, like elsewhere in Asia, distinctions between indigenous and non-indigenous are not straightforward, and articulations of indigenous identity are fraught with complications. With a population over 400,000, the Sakha are in fact considered too numerous to fit within the official Russian category for indigenous peoples—the ―small-numbered peoples of the North,‖ and many Sakha are themselves ambivalent about the label ―indigenous,‖ seeing their own culture as more advanced than that of their neighboring indigenes. -

As is customary, we present annual reports on challenges in the realization of the rights to freedom of conscience and the principle of state secularism, and on overuse and misuse of anti-extremism laws. Since 2017, instead of a single, large report on radical nationalism, hate crimes, and the efforts by the state and the society to counteract these phenomena, this collection comprises two reports: the first one concerns hate crimes and counteraction to them, the second one covers other aspects of anti-extremism policies. The reports in this collection are updated versions of the original reports published on the SOVA Center’s website. The appendix provides details and statistics on the hate crimes and the prosecution of “extremist crimes”. All data were compiled on February 19, 2021.
