The subjects of WSSG are species of the genera Scolopax , Gallinago and Lymnocryptes that in several respects differ remarkably from all other wader species. For this reason a separate research unit was established.

It was held in February at Abu Dhabi (United Arabian Emirates). This kind of meeting gives the opportunity to meet the Chairs of different Specialist Groups and exchange information. Concerning our species, contacts have been established with colleagues from South America, Madagascar and Indonesia where rare or endangered Woodcock and Snipe species are living. Within the framework of this meeting, a booklet was published to present every IUCN Specialist Group. The WSSG should therefore be more visible for a greater number of scientists and conservationists. The WSSG always shows a great dynamism. Our colleagues from Eastern Europe are very active, which is important for the monitoring on the breeding grounds. A new project on Common Snipe has been launched in Russia to provide a better estimation of its conservation status. As a game species, and because wetlands are threatened in many countries, a great attention must be paid to the Common Snipe. One year and a half ago, the 7 th WSSG Workshop was held in Saint-Petersburg. At this time, all the papers that were expected to be published have been received and most of them have been revised by David Gonçalvès, Andrew Hoodless and myself. We are in the final step and the Proceedings should be available in the course of the coming three months. I hope that you will be satisfied with the final result which is one of the centerpieces of the WSSG activity. I wish you a very happy New Year and much success with your scientific work.

Development of forest sector in the Arkhangelsk oblast during the transition period of the 1990s. Fennia 181: 1, pp. 13–24. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. The Arkhangelsk oblast has long been one of Russia’s most important forest industrial regions. This paper analyses the changes in accessibility of forest resources and forest commodity production during the transition period in the 1990s. Special attention is given to firm restructuring, active roles of domestic capital and the different survival strategies that have been developed by in- dustries in the region. Further analysis deals with signs of economic recovery in the forest sector due to the processes of restructuring, modernisation and self-organisation.

  • Transport and Infrastructural Basis of the Tourism Development Strategy in the Arkhangelsk Oblast © Aleksandr Yu

Transport and infrastructural basis … 35 UDC [338.48+332.14](470.11)(045) DOI: 10.37482/issn2221-2698.2020.38.44 Transport and infrastructural basis of the tourism development strategy in the Arkhangelsk Oblast © Aleksandr Yu. TSVETKOV, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), associate professor E-mail: [email protected] Department of Management, Higher School of Economics, Management and Law, Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Arkhangelsk, Russia Abstract. The article, devoted to the analysis of transport and geographical locations, describes possible strategies for the development of tourism in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The main goal of the research was the development of logistic schemes of the transportation of tourists from the places of formation of tourist flows to the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The methodological basis of the article is to determine the economic dis- tances between potential tourist distribution centers and their places of interest in the area. Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Arkhangelsk were considered as the main towns of departure. Kargopol, Solvychegodsk, Kholmogory and Lomonosovo, Solovki, Kenozersky National Park, and Pinega caves are regarded as the main sites of tourist interest in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. It was determined that Kargopol is the most acces- sible for tourists, and Kenozersky National Park is the most recognizable by tourists but the least accessible. The object of world cultural heritage, the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour on Solovki is the most accessible for tourists from the territory of Karelia. It is recommended to optimize the schedule and to synchronize the work of transport for tourists to improve the transport accessibility of recreational facili- ties in the area.

The Klyazma river (the fourth order tributary to the Volga) was selected as the object of study. The natural complex of the Klyazma river basin is a combination of different landscapes, each marked by a diverse composition of geomorphological and soil-vegetation structures. The study is based on remote sensing data and the Trends.Earth Land Degradation Monitoring Project (Land Cover Dataset, European Space Agency 2015, 300 m spatial resolution) implemented using the open-source Quantum GIS 2.18. Four landscape provinces and eight site were identified in the studied catchment area according to the geomorphological structure and the soil and vegetation cover. The ecosystem parameters Gross Primary Productivity, Net Primary Productivity, and Ecosystem Respiration were measured in the identified sites.

  • Mikhail Zhilin EARLY MESOLITHIC BONE ARROWHEADS from the VOLGA-OKA INTERFLUVE, CENTRAL RUSSIA
    Fennoscandia archaeologica XXXII (2015) Mikhail Zhilin EARLY MESOLITHIC BONE ARROWHEADS FROM THE VOLGA-OKA INTERFLUVE, CENTRAL RUSSIA Abstract Several different types of bone arrowheads were produced and used during the Early Mesolithic in the Volga-Oka interfluve. In this paper, recent research on these artefacts is reviewed, and their means of manufacture and ways of use determined through microscopy and experimental research. The research highlights the skill of the Early Mesolithic inhabitants of the Volga-Oka interfluve in manufacturing bone arrowheads, used for hunting various animals. A similarity was observed between the flint industry of pre-boreal sites of the Volga-Oka region and those of southern Finland, especially with respect to tanged flint arrowheads. The similarity suggests that the Early Mesolithic population of southern Finland and Karelian Isthmus most probably produced and used bone arrowheads similar to those described in the article. However, because bone artefacts are generally missing in the latter regions because of acrid soils, the conclusion should be regarded as a working hypothesis.
