The cataclysm of the self-declared 'revolution from above' marked the decisive turning point where Stalin propelled the country into a dash for growth: a planned 'great leap forward' that would stake out the con­ struction of the Stalinist state. It articulated and released the pressures for change to the status quo of the New Economic Policy (NEP) that had been building up in the Communist Party during the 1920s. The Stalinist revo­ lution was an attempt to smash a conjuncture of economic, political and contingent constraints obstructing the realization of the Bolshevik ideal of a modernizing transformation of the Soviet Union. After the grain crisis of 1927/8, the Stalinists had come to view the existence of a market oriented free peasantry under NEP as the main constraint on the building of social­ ism. The success of a modernizing crash industrialization programme hinged on a resolution of the question of who would control the countryside, the peasant or the state. For, given the Soviet Union's backwardness, whoever won this battle would dictate the nature and pace of the development of the country. This study is a continuation of the author's previous work, Stalin, Sibe­ ria and the Crisis of the New Economic Policy, that investigated the re­ lationship between contingency, Stalin's personal experiences of Siberian conditions and the abandonment of NEP during the grain crisis. In this book the focus of analysis has been taken forward to examine the after­ math of the grain clisis and the evolution of the primary programmatic pillar of the Stalin revolution: the formation and implementation of the policies of forced collectivization and dekulakization. It was the resolution of the peasant question which shaped the entire modernization process in Soviet Russia, for collectivization subordinated the peasant economy to the demands of the state-led rapid industrialization which was the founda­ tion of the Stalinist state. In preparing this book I have sought to build on the strengths of my expertise on one Russian province, Siberia, as well as attempting to be responsive to criticisms of structural faults in my earlier work that focused on its non-archival source base. The revolution in historical investigation in Russia that has occurred following the disintegration of communism has been driven not only by much freer access to archives previously closed to foreign scholars, but also by the unbrokered exchange of ideas and mate­ rials through personal, scholar-to-scholar contacts. The new environment X Preface in 1990-94 allowed me to collect and incorporate in this book a massive amount of new materials, the bulk of which are from Siberian and central party archives. I would like to acknowledge my debt to the Siberian his­ torians, Nikolai Gushchin and Vladimir Il'inykh, whose work on this pe­ riod acted as an intellectual stimulus for me. I am obliged to single out for special recognition and warmest thanks Vladimir Zhdanov, formerly of the Institute of History in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, who was employed as a research assistant for two years during my investigations of Siberian archives. The best scholar of his generation in the region, Vladimir guided me through the labyrinthine academic Hades that exists in post-communist Russia. His friendship and our constant disagreements over the interpre­ tation of documents enthused and undoubtedly enriched my work. There are many other Russians, whose names I would rather not cite, to whom thanks are due: from archive assistants, administrative and clerical staff at institutes, to journalists, business people, pensioners and others who made specific and sometimes vital contributions to my work. This book has endured a long intellectual ferment, originating with concepts and ideas first encouraged and developed by a brilliant teacher at Queen's University Belfast, the late Frank Wright, when I was an under­ graduate there in the late 1970s. My ideas have been nurtured by the work of scholars whose names are too numerous to mention. I hope it is suffi­ cient to express my appreciation of this intellectual debt by the citations in footnotes. I am especially grateful to the series editors Bob Davies and Arfon Rees of the Centre for Russian and East European Studies at the University of Birmingham, who read the manuscript and offered invalu­ able suggestions for changes which have considerably enhanced the fin­ ished work. I could not have written this book without the financial assistance of several sources to whom I am profoundly grateful. The British Council had the foresight to provide me with a small short-term visit grant to conduct a preliminary survey of Siberian archives in September 1990. The Nuffield Foundation awarded me a social science research grant in 1992, and the British Academy followed this with a small personal research grant in 1993-94, which enabled me to carry out without interruption the collection and investigation of the new archival materials on which the work is based. The efforts of Chai Lieven, Bob Davies and Bob Service in helping me to obtain these grants is deeply appreciated. I would also like to acknowledge the support for this research by Keele University, where I was employed as lecturer in Russian politics from 1989-94. Keele greatly assisted my work by the award of a special sabbatical leave in 1992: an Preface xi award that freed me from teaching and administrative duties to concentrate on writing and also provided some financial assistance for my research. Parts of Chapters 3 and 4 previously appeared in a somewhat different version in Slavic Review, to the editors of which I am obliged for their kind permission to draw from this piece. I warmly appreciate the efforts of all those at Macmillan involved in the publication of this book, with a special thanks to Anne Rafique who skilfully and efficiently prepared the typescript. Finally, the greatest debt of all is due to my wife Julia, to whom the book is dedicated. For she has tolerated my long absences, whether in my study or in Siberia, and provided the companionship and partnership that sustains me and my work through good times and bad.

  • Some Data on Zoophilic Flies of Siberia and the Russian Far East
    Ukrainian Journal of Ecology Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 2021, 11(6), 100-104, doi: 10.15421/2021_230 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Some data on zoophilic flies of Siberia and the Russian Far Ukrainian Journal of Ecology,2021, 11(4),,doi: 10.15421/2021_ East E.I. Sivkova All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Veterinary Entomology and Arachnology-Branch of Federal State Institution Federal Research Centre Tyumen Scientific Centre of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2 Institutskaya St, Tyumen 641025, Russia *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 23.07.2021. Accepted: 09.08.2021. In the vast territories of Siberia and the Russian Far East that include various landscapes and climatic zones of the country, flies play an important role as they are constantly present in the life of humans and animals. Flies belong to the Order Diptera, comprising of two-winged flies, the suborder Cyclorrapha (circular-seamed flies). Flies are vectors of many infectious and invasive diseases (they spread pathogens of microorganisms, protozoa, and fungi) and can also cause independent diseases in the larval phase. In this genus case, the flesh-fly family (Sarcophagidae), Wohlfahrtia magnifica genus, Schin.,1862, is a classic example of flies with a free- living pattern to a parasitic lifestyle. Species specificity of flies is weakly expressed, though they give the most significant preference to cattle. Traditional fly control methods include preventive and exterminating measures. Preventive steps are targeted at the elimination of potential fly breeding places by practicing routine sanitation. The advantage of preventive measures is their environmental friendliness. However, they do not significantly reduce the number of flies.

A. ORLOVA and V. A. PANYCHEV United Institute of Geology, Geophysics and Mineralogy, Universitetsky pr., 3, Novosibirsk 90, 630090 Russia ABSTRACT. Variable 14C ages of paleosol organic matter (OM) cause difficulties in interpreting 14C data. We attempt to determine the reliability of OM 14C dates by examining different carbon-containing materials from soil horizons and paleosol fractions. INTRODUCTION Since the first 14C age determination of soil organic matter (OM) (Tamm and Ostlund 1960), the problems of 14C data interpretation have been widely discussed (Arslanov 1987; Arslanov et al. 1970; Arslanov and Kozyreva 1976; Gerasimov and Chichagova 1971; Zavelskiy 1975; Chichagova 1985; Scharpenseel 1971; Campbell et al. 1967; Costin and Polach 1969; Geyh, Bensler and Roeschman 1971; Polach and Costin 1971; Bowler and Polach 1971). These problems involve soil OM biodynamics in various landscape/climatic areas and soil types. Unlike wood and peat, where each annual tree ring and peat layer "conserves" the particular 14C content of the moment of growth, soil horizons are characterized by constant replacement of OM along the profile, which leads to redistribution of 14C ratios in different carbon-containing materials and soil fractions.

RUBRIKA RUBRIKA Specific Features of Regional Budget Policy Using the Example of Novosibirsk Oblast T. V. Sumskaya Abstract—The paper elicits the conditions for developing the financial base of local self-government and examines the breakdown of local budgets in Novosibirsk oblast. The author has analyzed the inhomogeneity characteristics of budget indicators before and after the municipalities were granted financial resources from the oblast budget and assessed cross-territorial differentiation in the fiscal capacity of Novosibirsk oblast municipalities. The paper analyzes the connection between grants, municipality taxes, and nontax revenues and assesses the marginal effect of an increase in taxes going to the local budgets.

  • Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/17/2013 GAIN Report Number: RS1335 Russian Federation Post: Moscow Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector Report Categories: Livestock and Products Policy and Program Announcements Agricultural Situation Approved By: Holly Higgins Prepared By: FAS/Moscow Staff Report Highlights: Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector had been in continual decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches. The Russian Federal and oblast governments offer a series of support programs meant to stimulate livestock development in the Russian Federation over the next seven years which are funded at hundreds of billions of Russian rubles (almost $10 billion). These programs are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry. Monies have been allocated for both new construction and modernization of old livestock farms, purchase of domestic and imported of high quality breeding dairy and beef cattle, semen and embryos; all of which should have a direct and favorable impact on livestock genetic exports to Russia through 2020. General Information: Trade Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector has been in decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches which are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry.

  • Siberia: in Search of New Model of Development
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 11 (2017 10) 1754-1778 ~ ~ ~ УДК 913+332.1 Siberia: in Search of New Model of Development Alexander N. Pilyasov* Center for the Arctic and Northern economies under the ANO “Institute of regional consulting” 17B Butlerov Str., Moscow, 117342, Russia Received 24.07.2017, received in revised form 05.11.2017, accepted 13.11.2017 There is no other major macro-region of Russia, for which finding a new model of development would be as urgent and imperative as for Siberia. Being the leader in the country and the world in terms of natural resources and water resources, this treasury of natural resources still loses to other regions in the quality of life and living standards. The main development guideline for Siberia is openness to experiments and innovative search, which now involves the main constructive effects of the arrangement of Siberian spaces, rejection of unified approaches and a brand new role of the state to encourage innovations of all kinds and get away from its former role of a simple lobbyist for large corporations, working in Siberia. The new development model of Siberia should take into account the following facts: 1. The most profitable industry for Siberia is not mining; it is processing industry, less sensitive to the ultracontinental character and isolation of the Siberian economy. Hybridity, the mixed nature of the new Siberian deposits, often makes it more reasonable to extract and process resources at the same place. 2. Flashbacks have always been typical of the economic development of Siberia: after a quick breakthrough there is a delay, a pause, which actually brings assimilation and consolidation of the innovation in the spaces of Siberia, followed by a new progressive step.

    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.

    Regional Teaching Course 5-7 July, 2012 Novosibirsk, Russia Local Teaching Course organizer: Pavel Pilipenko, Prof., MD, PhD Department of Clinical Neurology Faculty of Postgraduate Education Novosibirsk State Medical University Krasny Prospect, 52 630091 Novosibirsk Russia 5-7 July, 2012 we had the second successful Teaching Course of EFNS in Novosibirsk! Registration desk The Teaching Course brought together leading neurologists of Germany, Russia, Greece, Czech Republic, Italy and Austria. More than 300 physicians were registered! - and that's just only part of our participants, because we did not perform registration during the scientific sessions (despite the fact that we were expecting only 150 members, but in Siberia scientific events of such a high level are rare, and the opportunity to participate in the international conferences for physicians is very limited, so the Siberian doctors were very interested in participating in the RTC of the EFNS). Participants and local translator. Physicians from Siberia came from: Voronezh, Novosibirsk, Barnaul, Ob, Barabinsk, Berdsk, Suzun, Toguchin, Nizhnevartovsk, Tomsk, Omsk, Kemerovo, Tatar, Iskitim, Kargath, Linevo, Cherepanovo, Novokuznetsk, Krivodanovka. Every day more than 200 people registered. At the end of the third day, which was a warm summer day (that is very rare for Siberia!!) we had more than 120 people, that indicated the interest of physicians in obtaining new knowledge. Welcoming remarks were made by the rector of Novosibirsk State Medical University - Prof. I.O. Marinkin and Prof. P. Kalvach - representative of the EFNS, and the Head of the local TC Committee – Prof. PI Pilipenko. They emphasized the practical significance and the importance of such training courses, with possible discussions and exchange of experiences.
