It has been approved after thorough consideration and negotiations with non-governmental organi- zations and professional experts. Thus, the region is in for radical system changes in the regional economy. The regional government is successfully develop- ing innovative system. The main directions of clus- ter development policy have been outlined, which increases the region’s competitive advantages and enhances connections between branches and in- dustries. The regional government has managed to create congenial investment climate in the region. The government is coming up with new ways of supporting Rus- sian and foreign investors, developing the system of subsidies and preferences. Innovative industrial parks and zones are set up. Their infrastructure is financed from the state and regional budgets. Voronezh region is one of top 10 in the investment attractiveness rating and is carrying out over 30 investment projects. All the projects are connected with technical re-equipment of companies and creation of high-technology manufac- turers. The number of Russian and foreign investors is constantly increasing. In the Catalogue of Industrial Companies of Voronezh Region, you will find in- formation on the development of industries in Voronezh region, structural and quality changes in the industrial system.

The regional government is looking forward to establishing cooperation and mutually beneficial relationship with potential partners. Governor of Voronezh region Alexey Gordeyev 5 Catalogue of IndustrIal CompanIes of Voronezh regIon Development Prospects of Industrial Complex of Voronezh Region Dear friends and colleagues, The aim of this catalogue is to present a full picture of in- dustrial potential of Voronezh region, perspectives of its de- velopment, its features and leaders. Voronezh region is a leading centre of high-technology in- dustry. The industrial complex, utilizing cutting-edge tech- nology and having a formidable scientific potential, centres round aerospace and electronic industries, equipment manu- facture, chemical and processing industries. A number of ma- jor companies, such as the Aircraft plant, Sozvezdiye federal group of companies manufacturing telecommunication equipment, a number of high technology machine building companies, have a great cluster forming potential. Industrial manufacture is a major branch of Voronezh economy, it is the biggest contributor to gross regional product and provides for one third of consolidated budget revenue. In 2010-2011 practically all segments of industrial manufacture showed sustainable growth. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the crisis of 2008-2009 did not affect the production vol- umes, due to the specifics of the regional industrial structure. Some companies even continued to show growth, implement new investment and innovative projects, re-equip their production facilities. The regional government believes that further development of industrial segments can be fa- cilitated by effective cooperation of business and authorities. Currently, the government is im- plementing a government – business partnership model, aimed at executing infrastructure and investment projects of both individual enterprises and cluster groups, which will help to create a multilevel model of modern effective business based on increased innovative and investment ac- tivity of major industries, their strategic focus and market positioning. At the core of this cooperation are such fac- tors as the creation of industrial zones with de- Industrial Structure veloped infrastructure, technical and techno- of Voronezh Region logical modernization of production processes, development of new innovative products, further vertical and horizontal integration of 23 5,3 technological and human resources, including 1,3 subcontracting and outsourcing. One of the 5,4 main aspects of the governments work is at- tracting new industrial residents, capable of forming clusters of companies in the region. Voronezh government has created favoura- ble conditions for investors, is improving legal 17,1 terms and developing the system of subsidies and preferences, setting up industrial parks. 15,8 In 2010 Maslovskiy and Liskinskiy industrial Mining operation parks were created. Maslovskiy industrial Food and beverages and tobacco production park is situated on the border of Voronezh Chemical production and rubber and plastic city in Novousmanskiy district, and occupies goods production an area of 598 hectares. The park specializes in Machine building and metal working machine building and metal processing. Today, Non-metallic mineral goods production among the park’s residents are Armaks Group Electricity, gas and water production and supply Ltd fulfilling the investment project con- Other industries 6 nected with the creation of production-logistical complex, Siemens Transformers Ltd involved in the construction of power transformers plant, and Voronezhselmash Ltd. The next projects to be fulfilled are metal processing and machine building projects by Spetsslaltekhmontazh Ltd and Soyuzkomplekt Ltd, fiber-optics production project by OFS Svyazstroy-1 Ltd, etc. The park’s potential residents are industrial companies with different directions of activity, mainly machine building companies. Liskinskiy industrial park is situated in Lisky district of Voronezh region, and occupies an area of 262.535 hectares. The terri- tory has an easy vehicle access, there are roads with asphalt coating. The area is linked to M4 Don highway and Voronezh-Lugansk highway. A railway line running across the park allows for the transportation of goods in different directions. The government is currently developing the projects of Bobrovskiy industrial park in Bobrovsk district of Voronezh region, and creating a special federal economic-industrial zone in Voronezh region. In order to increase competitive advantages of the regional industries, the government is imple- menting measures aimed at increasing energy efficiency and product quality, assisting in carrying out innovative projects and setting up innovative companies in various fields including nanoin- dustry. Today, one of the main directions in the governmental economic policy is implementing a region- al program of development of cluster-groups. The formation of regional and industrial clusters has been outlined by the government. Taking into account the multi-branch industrial structure of the region, a large amount of educational institutions and developed innovative structure, the government has started work aimed at creating interbranch innovative industrial clusters uniting a wide range of industrial, innovative, scientific, educational, engineering and consulting organi- zations, located in the region and cooperating in the process of production and implementation of joint cluster projects. A number of Agreements have been signed in Voronezh region to form four branch clusters in the field of oil and gas and chemical engineer- ing, electromechanical, aircraft and radioelec- tronic industries. The members of these clusters are leading industrial manufacturers of the re- gion, which are presented in this catalogue in relevant sections. In order to provide state (regional) govern- mental support to cluster-formation processes, the government has worked out and is imple- menting a purpose-oriented program, called Formation and development of cluster groups in 2011-2013. This program envisages working out and refining regulatory documents; provid- ing methodological, consulting and educational support to cluster groups. It will help to define the required conditions, forms and amount of budgetary funding of cluster groups and infra- 7 Catalogue of IndustrIal CompanIes of Voronezh regIon structure facilities, stimulate the formation of clusters in other industries (chemical industry, furniture industry, transport logistics, etc). In 2011 the regional government started work aimed at developing infrastructure for cluster groups. Firstly, the Center of Cluster Develop- ment, a regional budgetary institution, will be set up. This specialized organization will pro- vide efficient consulting and other services for cluster members, work out and execute strate- gic programs and action plans aimed at cluster development, participate in joint (cluster) pro- jects. Implementing cluster development programs, the regional government expects to get support from the federal centre. This support is shown mainly through joint mechanisms of cluster devel- opment, assistance in innovative, energy efficiency and investment activity. Thus, in 2012 Voron- ezh region won the contest held by the Russian Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and received state subsidies to carry out a project called Support of Joint Cluster Projects to support small and middle business. As part of this pro- ject, the Centre of Technological Competence in foundry. The aim was to provide small and mid- dle businesses with an easy access to modern casting technologies, support in development of new products, small-scale production of a wide

  • East Asian Strategic Review 2001 Runoff Election
    Chapter 7 Russia ussia entered upon the new century with an energetic young Rleader Vladimir Putin. He seems to be aiming at rebuilding a strong Russia by resolutely facing up to the reality in Russia and by solving problems facing Russia one by one. Nearly ten years under President Boris Yeltsin were a transi- tional period from the old regime of the Communist Party dictator- ship to a new regime based on democracy and market economy. In the sense that he had demolished the old regime, President Yeltsin had made a great success. However, he failed to resolve the confu- sion that had arisen in the course of transition to the new regime and was unable to alleviate the sufferings of the people. What the Russian people expect President Putin to do first is to end the polit- ical and social confusion, and stabilize their livelihood. Putin considers solving domestic problems the top priority of his administration and believes that a strong Russia could not be re- vived without solving these domestic problems. In foreign policy, he stressed that Russia will favor a pragmatic approach for overcom- ing domestic difficulties, and has indicated his willingness to steer clear of troubles that could impair economic relations with the West. In the field of defense and security, he attaches priority to adapting Russia’s military to the country’s needs and economic po- tential. Since he took office President Putin has revised basic documents on diplomacy, national defense and security: Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation, National Security Concept of the Russian Federation and Military Doctrine.

  • Migratory Connectivity and Conservation of the Amur Falcon Falco Amurensis: a Stable Isotope Perspective
    Bird Conservation International (2010) 20:134–148. ª BirdLife International, 2010 doi:10.1017/S0959270910000237 Migratory connectivity and conservation of the Amur Falcon Falco amurensis: a stable isotope perspective CRAIG T. SYMES and STEPHAN WOODBORNE Summary 13 15 Stable isotopes (dD, d C, d N) were measured in adult and juvenile Amur Falcon Falco amurensis feathers to understand the migratory connectivity of this species. Using the OIPC (Online Isotopes in Precipitation Calculator) and a calibration curve for American Kestrels Falco sparverius we predicted the breeding range of South African Amur Falcons in the Palaearctic. dD values for juvenile feathers (mean 6 SE 5 À58.1 6 2.5&, range À83.9 to À25.7&) and predicted Palaearctic annual precipitation values indicated that juvenile Amur Falcons in South Africa originated from across their entire Palaearctic range. This rejects the leapfrog migration hypothesis and suggests the widespread movement of birds south, with a funnelling effect into the subregion where they become concentrated over a narrower distribution range. Adult dDf values were more depleted (À37.4 6 1.8&, range 5 À71.3 to À9.3&) than predicted annual precipitation values for sites where feathers moulted in South Africa (À20.2 6 0.9&) but there 13 was no correlation between dDp and dDf. This, together with significant variation of d C among sites and annual fluctuations in roost sizes, suggests that roost site fidelity is low in the overwintering range. Populations not confined to breeding sites in South Africa are able to move widely across the subregion, feeding on a broad range of arthropods that become seasonally abundant during the austral summer.
