  • Revolution, War and Imperial Conflict in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe Yuexin Rachel Lin
    “We Are on the Brink of Disaster”: Revolution, War and Imperial Conflict in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe Yuexin Rachel Lin When Russian imperial power extended to the Amur in the mid-19th Century, Blagoveshchensk- Heihe became one of the foremost sites of imperial competition. The proximity of the Chinese and Russian cities, within sight of each other across the Amur River, engendered both connection and conflict, while the strategic waterway attracted Japanese trade. Some of the starkest manifesta- tions of Sino-Russian conflict had erupted there, including the 1858 Treaty of Aigun and the 1900 massacre of Chinese during the Boxer Rebellion. Control over Chinese migration became a peren- nial problem - which led to the deeply-resented river-crossing permit regime - and Japanese inter- est in commerce and shipping challenged both Russian and Chinese interests. Historical memories of such conflict persisted even as the Qing and tsarist regimes collapsed. They were brought to the fore by the arrival of the 1917 Russian Revolution, when the collapse of Russian state power offered the opportunity to recover past losses. This paper examines the vio- lence of the revolutionary and Civil War period in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe from the perspective of the Chinese community in both cities. It focuses on key economic and political actors — diaspora leaders and border officials — who formed self-defence organisations, appealed for greater military and diplomatic presence in Russian territory, and warned of Japanese opportunism on the Amur. In so doing, they appealed to emotive “moments” in Sino-Russian historical memory, particularly the Aigun Treaty and the Blagoveshchensk massacre. Therefore, this paper argues that the revolu- tionary upheavals in Russia fed into long-term discourses of Sino-Russian conflict, and that shared historical memories enabled disparate groups to take part in revisionist activism.

  • On Distribution of Lampyris Noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) in the Amur Region

Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) covers an extensive transpalaearctic range (Medvedev & Ryvkin 1992; Geisthardt & Sato 2007; Kazantsev 2010, 2011) with unclear boundaries of distribution on the periphery. The eastern sector of the range has been studied the least. Until recently, from the Amur region (within the borders of the Amurskaya oblast' and Khabarovskii krai of Russia) three points of collection of L. noctiluca were known. However, this which does not give a detailed idea of the range of the species in this region (Kazantsev 2010) (Fig. 1). Our research provided material from the basins of the Amur and Uda rivers, which significantly clarifies the northern boundary of distribution in the eastern sector of the range of Lampyris noctiluca. Lampyris noctiluca is also firstly recorded for the Heilongjiang province in China and the Evreiskaya avtonomnaya oblast' in Russia.

  • Subject of the Russian Federation)
    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

  • Trans-Border Exchange Between Russia and China: the Case of Blagoveshchensk and Heihe
    Ryzhova.fm Page 348 Thursday, May 14, 2009 11:48 AM Trans-border Exchange between Russia and China: The Case of Blagoveshchensk and Heihe Nataliya Ryzhova and Grigory Ioffe1 Abstract: Two Russian-trained geographers investigate the multiple and largely informal and illicit forms of exchange between two provincial cities of roughly similar size located on opposite banks of the Amur River, namely Blagoveshchensk, in Russia’s Far East, and Heihe, in neighboring northeast China. The study is based on interviews and field observations from 2002 to 2009 in Blagoveshchensk, as well as official statistics from the relevant Russian and Chinese provincial governments. Particular attention is focused on the activities and treat- ment of Chinese guest workers comprising a material component of the labor force in Amur Oblast (e.g., in construction and agriculture), unregistered Chinese entrepreneurs in retailing and catering, and trans-border logging operations of Chinese timber/wood products compa- nies. Also covered are the activities of visiting Russian nationals in Heihe and the extralegal activities of Russian entrepreneurs and bureaucrats. Journal of Economic Literature, Classifi- cation Numbers: F20, J61, O17, O18. 5 figures, 1 table, 50 references. Key words: Russia, China, cross-border trade, Blagoveshchensk, Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, Amur River, free economic zones, suitcase trade, illegal logging, grey imports, contraband, illegal entrepre- neurs, migrant labor. orders separating countries with different socio-economic systems tend to impede the B free flow of goods and people, to greater or lesser degree in proportion to the extent to which those systems diverge.2 Certainly the Soviet–Chinese border in the Russian Federa- tion’s Far East region was tightly controlled for a good part of the last century, reflecting (despite outward signs of Communist solidarity) a protracted territorial dispute between the USSR and China involving islands located in the Amur River, which formed an extended portion of that border.

U. Far East State Agriculture University, Blagoveshchensk, Amur, Russia (Translator: Ms. Maya Matsuoka (Shogakukan Production Co., Ltd, Sapporo, Japan)) Abstract Forest fires are a natural process, which in most cases determine the vegetation types and dynamics of plant communities. Fires occur and spread as a result of the influence of climatic, biotic and geographic factors, which define the level of impact on the forest ecosystem and it surrounding environment. Forest fires induce sometimes the progress of succession. Therefore, fires should be considered to have not only negative but also a positive effect on plant communities. Here we show an example of natural regeneration after forest fires in Daurian larch forest in Far East Russia. Key words: Forest fire, larch stand, vegetation cover, succession, Far East Russia Introduction The abundance of plants was measured by the There is a constant danger of forest fires in the world.
