This publication contains summaries of eight pre-feasibility studies, the topical area ,study for agricultural runoff and the study on wetlands. The international financial institutions (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, European Investment Bank, Nordic Investment Bank and the World Bank) and the Commission of the European Communities acted as executing agencies within the HELCOM ad hoc high level Task Force for the preparation of the studies. A reference list of the pre-feasibility studies and topical area studies is attached to this publication. The strategy and principles for a long-term programme to restore the ecological balance of the Baltic Sea (the Baltic Sea Joint Comprehensive Environmental Action Programme) was adopted by the Diplomatic Conference on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area, held in Helsinki on 9 April 1992, published in the BSEP No. 48. The Summary of the Programme, as in Conference Document No. 512 of the above mentioned Diplomatic Conference "Background Document for the Baltic Sea Environmental Declaration, 1992", is also included in this publication. 1 A.

INTRODUCTION 1 The Diplomatic Conference on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Conference Document No. 5/2 Baltic Sea Area is invited to adopt the draft Baltic Sea Environmental Declaration, 1992, endorsing the strategic approach and principles of the Joint Comprehensive Environmental Action Programme (Preliminary version) which was developed to respond to the Baltic Sea Agenda Item 5 Declaration adopted at .the level of Prime Ministers at the Baltic Sea Environment Conference in Ronneby, Sweden on September 3, 1990. 2 At Ronneby, the Ministers established the long-term objective of ensuring the ecological restoration of the Baltic Sea and the preservation of its ecological balance. The BACKGROUND DOCUMENT FOR THE Programme addresses these issues by identifying problems and priority actions in all the BALTIC SEA ENVIRONMENTAL DECLARATION, 1992 countries within the Baltic Sea catchment area (Fig.1). II. OVERVIEW 3 The multi-year Programme encompasses both preventive actions to promote sustainable use of the Baltic environment, and curative actions to rectify the legacy of environmental degradation from point and non-point source pollution. In addition to these investments, the Programme will support development of appropriate environmental policies and legislation, promote the use of economic incentives to encourage environmentally sound actions, strengthen institutional capacity and human resources, and increase the local capacity to finance environmental measures. 4 The Programme has been designed to support implementation of the Helsinki Convention and HELCOM Recommendations. Priorities include investment and non­ investment actions to address the need to control both non-point source pollution and point source pollution. The Programme identifies actions needed to control pollution at 132 "hot spots" (Fig. 2). Of these 47 have been designated "priority hot spots". The latter are a Conference Secretariat primary focus of the first phase of the investment programme. Helsinki Commission III.

Introduction At present industrial enterprises are surrounded by ever growing technogenic anomalies – plots with higher contents of lead, copper, zinc, and other elements, exceeding significantly natural background. Disclosing of such technogenic anomalies is one of most important geoecological tasks of city environment evaluation. Snow cover monitoring is one of the methods of defining ranges of such anomalies. In this sense, snow cover is a reliable indicator of pollution for it concentrates the whole volume of winter precipitation. The amount of toxic materials left in a city after snow has melt is represented by a complex of substances in snow cover and carried away by thaw waters.

  • Ordovician (Billingen and Volkhov Stages) Brachiopod Faunas of the East Baltic
    Eva Egerquist Ordovician (Billingen and Volkhov stages) brachiopod faunas of the East Baltic 1 Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Lecture Theatre, Palaeontology building, Uppsala, Friday, June 4, 2004 at 13.00 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Egerquist E. 2004. Ordovician (Billingen and Volkhov stages) brachiopod faunas of the East Baltic. 34 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1756-7 Lower-Middle Ordovician (Arenig) successions in the East Baltic have been investigated for more than one hundred and fifty years. Nevertheless detailed sampling still yields new species and better knowledge of the environment in which these organisms lived. The successions are well suited for bed by bed sampling because of the lack of tectonic disturbance and because the sequences are well documented. This study analyses collections of Billingen-Volkhov age mainly from the St. Petersburg region, but also from Estonia. A great deal of the material was obtained from the marly to clayey, soft sediment that intercalates the compact packstones and wackestones in the succession. Twenty-nine of these clay horizons were used for diversity estimates on the fauna through the succession. The most thoroughly investigated groups for this investigation were rhynchonelliformean brachiopods, conodonts and ostracodes. The results indicate that variances in diversity and abundance levels for these groups were not correlated, either to each other or to the small-scale sea level fluctuations that have been suggested for the region. However, diversity dynamics of brachiopods and ostracodes confirm the large-scale upward shallowing of the basin into the Upper Volkhov.

Chernykh Institute of Limnology, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia (Accepted for publication January 25, 2000) Abstract The Volkhov Bay, the largest estuary bay of Ladoga Lake, is characterized. It is shown that owing to special hydrophysical conditions (higher water temperature during ise-free period, low water transparency, and intensive sediments transport) the ecological state of the bay differs considerably from that of other coastal parts of the lake. With respect to economical importance, the catchment area of the Volkhov Bay, is the most developed territory of the Ladoga basin. As a result of increasing nutrient load, eutrophication processes in the bay are obvious. The effect of the waste waters of industrial enterprises favours additional deterioration of water quality in the southern part of the Ladoga Lake. Key words: Ladoga Lake, hydrophysics, bottom sediments, oxygen regime, phosphorus, heavy metals, water pollution, plankton, higher aquatic vegetation, zoobenthos, eutrophication, water quality.

The article considers the possibilities to improve the use of devastated territories of the Russian Federation, particularly of the Northwest Federal District and the Leningrad Oblast. The work provides data on monitoring the formation, usage and disposal of waste and outlines the range of environmental problems occurring due to exploitation of devastated territories. Measures of optimizing these territories, prospects for their implementation and related risks that may entail economic losses for urban development were determined in the article. This work reveals the important role of geoecological factors played in addressing the issues of preparing such areas for further building development. The study of characteristics and classification of devastated lands is of great importance for the rational planning of urban space.

  • 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.

  • Trends in Population Change and the Sustainable Socio-Economic Development of Cities in North-West Russia
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BALTIC REGION TRENDS IN POPULATION CHANGE AND THE SUSTAINABLE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES IN NORTH-WEST RUSSIA A. A. Anokhin K. D. Shelest M. A. Tikhonova Saint Petersburg State University Received 21 November 2018 7—9 Universitetskaya emb., Saint Petersburg, Russia, 199034 doi: 10.5922/2079-8555-2019-4-3 © Anokhin A. A., Shelest K. D., Tikhonova M. A., 2019 The Northwestern Federal District is a Russian macro-region that is a unique example of a model region. It accounts for 10 % of the country’s total area and 9.5 % of its population. This article aims to trace the patterns of city distribution across the region, to assess the conditions of differently populated cities and towns, and to identify sustainability trends in their socio-economic development. Population change is a reliable indicator of the competitiveness of a city. As a rule, a growing city performs well economically and has a favourable investment climate and high-paid jobs. The analysis revealed that population change occurred at different rates across the federal district in 2002—2017. A result of uneven socio-economic development, this irregularity became more serious as globalisation and open market advanced. The study links the causes and features of growth-related differences to the administrative status, location, and economic specialisation of northwestern cities. The migration behaviour of the population and the geoeconomic position are shown to be the main indicators of the sustainable development of a city. Keywords: cities, urban population, Northwestern Federal District, city classification, population, city sustainability Introduction When studying the urban population distribution and its dynamics over the past decades, it is necessary to take into account the territorial heterogeneity of To cite this article: Anokhin, A.
