Annex The Leningrad regional state institution «Information – Tourist Center» - 3 - PROJECT PART-FINANCED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION 1. Studying present situation 1.1. Development of water tourism in Leningrad region 1.1.1. General situation Aspiration for changes is the main driving motive for the development of a person. When the main driving motive is a search for new impressions one can speak about the rise of tourism. Social shocks at the end of the previous century in Russia brought to almost complete disappearance of tourism as social phenomena, but following economic stabilization has restored «status quos». Statistic data, regularly collected in Leningrad region since 2000, tells about the sustainable increase of interest of Russians and other countries citizens in the opportunities of the territory on the forming of new unforgettable impressions. Dynamics of the increase of the quantity of organized tourists visiting Leningrad region Number, thousand people 1700 1800 1700 1500 1600 1500 1356 1400 1203 1300 1200 1030 1100 1000 870 900 750 800 700 600 500 300 350 400 219 256,3 300 130 145 170 200 100 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Number of organized tourists that have visited Leningrad region F oreign tourists (thousand people) Number of organized tourists that have visited Leningrad region Tourists in total (thousand people) Yearly the quantity of tourists visiting the region is commensurable to the quantity of permanently living in the territory inhabitants. The number of tourists’ attendants, workers in tourism service is constantly increasing. Figures given in the diagrams tell that Leningrad region is a perspective territory. The Leningrad regional state institution «Information – Tourist Center» - 4 - PROJECT PART-FINANCED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION Dynamics of the permanent work places increase (in tourism firms and accommodation centers) % regarding the previous year 2006 7,0% 12000 10,4% 2005 11200 12,3% 2004 10050 Working places 10,9% years % of increase according 2003 9100 2,0% to the previous 2002 8100 year 21,4% 2001 7950 2000 6550 Work places Yearly the quantity of really working in the territory of the region collective accommodation centers increase, the number of working in the region tour firms proliferates. The tourism sphere potential of the region is far from being used up; data of statistic observation are evidence of it. Now the number of people working in this sphere is less than 1% of able to work people of the region, the quantity of tourists accepted in the territory without prejudice to ecology and economy can be increased in 3 times regarding nowadays. The quantity of really working in the territory of the region collective accommodation centers 450 403 400 400 360 350 325 290 300 281 250 232 200 150 100 50 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 The Leningrad regional state institution «Information – Tourist Center» - 5 - PROJECT PART-FINANCED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION Dynamics of alteration of the tour firms registered in the territory of Leningrad region Tour firms that have two licenses (tour operator and tour agency) Tour firms in total 200 number 150 56 59 38 46 100 31 128 107 108 115 126 50 84 92 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Taxes taking into the regional budget system from the companies working in tourism sphere have significantly proliferated, especially for the latest years. It’s the evidence of the stirring up of work of the tourism sphere enterprises and of the rise of social reasonability of business representatives. Sum of taxes taken into the Russian Federation budget system 400 390 350 300 250 200 150 100 28,2 54,6 50 21,3 22,7 25,5 28 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 The Leningrad regional state institution «Information – Tourist Center» - 6 - PROJECT PART-FINANCED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION 1.1.2. Present infrastructure The territory of Leningrad region is rich in rivers, lakes and channels. These water ways have always been used for trade, cultural and other communications. The ancient trade way “from Varangian into Greeks” went along the rivers of the region. Big rivers, lakes and channels form river systems that are navigated for the space of 2054 km including main 600 km – Volga-Baltic way (Baltic Sea, the Gulf of Finland, the Neva, the Ladoga, the Svir, and the Onega), Saimenskiy channel. There are 1800 big and small lakes located in the territory, among them: Ladozhskoe lake (18400 km2), Chudskoe lake (2611 km2), Onezhskoe lake (9890 km2), lake-river system of the Vuoksa (95,6 km2). River lines connect many cities and villages of the region; in a season on some of them a regular navigation of river ships is established. In the territory of the region there are three big passenger and trade ports: Vyborg, Vysotsk, Ust-Luga. River ports are situated in Shlisselburg, Priozersk, Podporozhie, Voznesenie. River berths exist and functionate in Lodeinoe pole, Svirstroy, Mandrogi, Old Ladoga. Mooring walls exist in the villages Vladimirovka, Sias’story and in the cities Primorsk, Ivangorod. There are yacht clubs in New Ladoga and Vyborg. From collecting new bright impressions point of view hardly ever any other kind of tourism can be compared to the water one. Traditionally, with a view to organize tourism-recreation rest 4 basic directions of water tourism are used: cruise, sail-motor, camp (with the use of motorless ships) and regular water communication. All these directions are represented in the region. From all 130 tour firms, registered in the territory of the region, only 2 have incomes from water tourism exceeding 50%. In Saint-Petersburg not less than 10 shipping companies, giving their services in the water spaces of Leningrad region, are registered. 1.1.3. Present routes Almost at all the lines passenger, cargo-and-passenger ships and ferries, that are exploited not less than 8 years and are after the capital repair, are used. Total quantity of ships used in the region for recreation purposes doesn’t exceed 100 items. The relevance of this kind of rest is quite big; more than 80% charge of the summer cruise lines is the evidence of it. According to statistic data collected by the Physical training, Sport and youth Committee, in 2006 only to the cities Lodeinoe pole and Sias’stroy 300 calls by the ships chartered outside the region were made. 1.1.3.1. Camp kind of water tourism with the use of motorless ships.

Estonia’s Divided Border Cities – Co-operation and Conflict Within and beyond the EU Thomas Lundén Boundary Theory Aboundary is a line, usually in space, at which a certain state of affairs is terminated and replaced by another state of affairs. In nature, boundaries mark the separation of different physical states (molecular configurations), e.g. the boundary between water and air at the surface of the sea, between wood and bark in a tree stem, or bark and air in a forest. The boundaries within an organized society are of a different character. Organization means structuration and direction, i.e. individuals and power resources are directed towards a specific, defined goal. This, in turn, requires delimitations of tasks to be done, as well as of the area in which action is to take place. The organization is defined in a competition for hegemony and markets, and with the aid of technology. But this game of definition and authority is, within the limitations prescribed by nature, governed by human beings.

David J. Trimbach* and Shannon O’Lear Department of Geography, University of Kansas, 1475 Jayhawk Blvd., 213 Lindley Hall, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA (Received 31 May 2015; accepted 15 October 2015) Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and involvement in Ukrainian border regions pose serious consequences and questions. The precedence of Russian military intervention illustrates the porosity and potential for conflicts in other post-Soviet border regions. The Estonian borderland city of Narva, populated predominantly by Russian-speakers, is one such potential site of tension. Based on preliminary findings and data collected in Narva in 2013, this article provides an overview of citizenship, identity, and geographic affiliation issues among Narva’s Russian-speaking commu- nity in an effort to generate insights as to how any Russian overtures and potential intervention might be received in Narva.

The musicians combined rhythms on International Jazz Day as an act of friendship, despite the deteriorating relations between Russia and Estonia. The coronavirus pandemic has limited opportunities for cross-border contact. “As the border stayed closed, I have friends on the other side of the border with whom I wanted to play with, so we decided to do it,” Sooäär said before the concert.

The first Starforts are said to have been built as early as the early 1500’s, exactly when the Romanov’s were setting about conquering vast areas of Tartary. According to historian star forts, or bastion forts, were built, as they maximized defensiveness against cannonball impacts and offered better protection and better views of the battlefield for those inside the fort. The Tartarians created Star Forts and Star Cities as a vibrational frequency eco-system to provide a sense of joy and harmony amongst the community. Th Star Cities are their own self-contained environment. Star Forts are structures that are built with sacred geometric patterns that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe. In understanding A Star City we need to define the elements of what makes up this type of city. There are five key elements that lead us to discover the Tartaria civilization: 1. The remains of a large lake 2. Long channels (Venice, Italy) 3. Stone Bridges of unusual shape, allowing for large vessels to pass. (London Bridge) 4. Stone Streets (Italy, Spain, Switzerland etc..) 5.

  • Regimes of the Russian– Swedish Border in the Novgorod Lands
    Adrian Selin,Kuzma Kukushkin, Ivan Sablin, Elena Kocheryagina REGIMES OF THE RUSSIAN– SWEDISH BORDER IN THE NOVGOROD LANDS BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM WORKING PAPERS SERIES: HUMANITIES WP BRP 149/HUM/2017 This Working Paper is an output of a research project implemented at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE Adrian Selin1, Kuzma Kukushkin2, Ivan Sablin3, Elena Kocheryagina4 REGIMES OF THE RUSSIAN–SWEDISH BORDER IN THE NOVGOROD LANDS5 The working paper analysed the infrastructure of the Russian-Swedish border from a transcultural perspective. The history of the border was split into three periods following major changes in political border regimes. The first period covered the history of the border between Sweden and the Novgorod Republic after its formal delimitation in 1323. The annexation of the Novgorod Lands to the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1478 marked the beginning of the second period. The third period, which is discussed in detail, covered the history of border infrastructure between the transition of large part of the Novgorod Lands to Sweden in 1617 and 1700. Departing from the debate whether the border was a line or a zone and overcoming state-centred approaches, the working paper demonstrated that the existence of several parallel border regimes during different periods enabled the simultaneous existence of the border as a line and a zone pertaining to different social interactions and subject to manipulation by authorities. The consolidation of the border did not follow the Treaty of Stolbovo (1617), but owed to local demands and an accidental event of an epidemic in 1629– 1630.
