Some Basic Facts About Chukotka The Chukotka Autonomous Okrug ( okrug is the russian word for region or area) is villages that no longer exist, or industrial cities, towns and camps. http://www.faculty.uaf.edu/ffpag/chukfact.html
Extractions: The Chukotka Autonomous Okrug ("okrug" is the Russian word for region or area) is located in the far northeast of the Russian Federation. This area is most commonly referred to as the "Far North," although Chukotka is also technically located in an administrative region of Russia known as the Far East (which includes all of the territories along the Pacific coast of Russia down to the border with China and North Korea, as well as the Sakha Republic just west of Chukotka). However, Chukotka is often lumped in with the vast region known as Siberia, especially when one is discussing the history or ethnography of the region, although technically the region of Siberia is located in the center of Russia, east of the Ural Mountains but west of the Sakha Republic and other far eastern regions. The landscape of Chukotka is dominated by tundra interspersed with low mountains, with some areas of taiga in the south and west. The wildlife found in Chukotka includes caribou (this is in addition to the domestic reindeer that are maintained in herds - see other pages on this site), wolves, bears (grizzly bear and polar bear), Arctic fox, walrus, seals, whales, cranes (seen at left), and a variety of Arctic birds. Summer temperatures (in degrees Farenheit) can reach the mid-seventies in July (less in the north), and can dip below -40 in the winter. It is not the coldest region in Russia; in neighboring Sakha, to the west, the lows drop below -70 Farenheit.

Extractions: Vladimir Bobrovnikov* Already in Soviet times mass migrations were to some extent determining the life of many titular and non-titular ethnicities in the Western regions of the USSR. Since the collapse of the Soviet regime their development has become a hazardous destabilising factor for the social and political situation in Russia as well as in other CIS countries. In the first half of the 90s migrations acquired a clearly ethno-selective nature. At present four basic migration flows may be identified within the CIS borders: refugees from the zones of ethnic conflicts, repatriates, vendors moving from one city/town to another and rural migrants The objective of this paper is to analyse the Dagestani example of ethnic migration in post-Soviet Russia (1). Using the Dagestani example the correlation between all-Russian and regional migration flows in the North Caucasus will be examined. This, the first research to specifically examine the dynamics of ethnic migrations in Dagestan during 1989-1995, will show the prospects for their further development and the possible impact on the security of the person, ethnicity and state in the multinational Caucasian region. Sources of Research In this paper the author also analyses macro-statistical data about the Republic published in the regular reports of 1990-1995 by the Migration Service, GosComStat (State Committee for Statistics), GosComNat of the Republic of Dagestan (RD) and the Federal Migration Service (FMS) of Russia. Statistical data collected and published since 1990 by a group of Dagestani sociologists led by E. Kisriev of the Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of the Dagestani Research Centre (IHAE, DRC RAS) was widely used (2).

Extractions: THE STORY ABOUT THE YAROSLAVL REGION (Introduction). There are not so many places in Russia where the beauty of unrepeatable Volga's sights flows together with eventful past and talents of architects, embodied in unique masterpieces of art. But you can find all of these in the Yaroslavl region. Many centuries ago Russian state found here its strength and prosperity. Russian culture was developing here. Yarosalvl region was also the place where many great Russian masters and artists were born and made the Yaroslavl land famous all around the Earth. HISTORY. Yaroslavl was first mentioned in the chronicles in the beginning of the ÕI century. The foundation of the city is connected with the grand duke of Kiev land Yaroslav the Wize. The old legend tells us that on a place, where there is now the city, Yaroslav has killed the she-bear and ordered to set up the fortress. This legend gave the city its name and emblem: on the city emblem of Yaroslavl presented the bear with the pole-axe. Later, in 1993, on the Transfigururation square in Yaroslavl the monument of Yaroslav the Wize was established. Located on the high Volga coast, the fortress appeared on crossroad of the major trade ways. Upwards on Volga the rich ships had been floating from Persia and India to the East - to Europe. Yaroslavl has gradually turned to the large centre of trade and professions - carpenters, weavers, blacksmiths, and masons lived there.

Chief among the characteristics of the economy was an almost total absence of private productive capital. All enterprises were owned by the state, with each person receiving a salary for his or her efforts. Farmland was also almost entirely state-owned: 95% of all farmland was either state-owned or collectivized. All economic planning was done by government officials based in Moscow. Market forces played no part in their decision-making. The workforce was estimated at about 70 million persons in 1989.
