Extractions: JDC was allowed to return to Russia, in what was then still the Soviet Union, in 1988. In city after city, there were Jews who longed to reconnect with their Jewish heritage, but lacked even the most basic knowledge of Jewish culture, religion, history or community life. They were the product of seven decades of an enforced atheism that had all but destroyed Jewish communal life, and they lacked the training, skills and funds to open Jewish schools and community centers or establish and operate communal welfare services. The latter were increasingly needed as the steep gyrations and eventual collapse of the Russian economy fell with particular harshness on the older generations and ultimately cast into poverty hundreds of thousands of lonely, elderly Jews. Demographics Though the largest concentrations of Jews in what is now called Russia, or the Russian Federation, can be found in St. Petersburg and Moscow, there are also hundreds of thousands of Jews scattered across Russias nine time zones. In the decade following the lifting of emigration restrictions, more than 1 million Jews from the former Soviet Union (FSU) chose to make

This is the Yaroslavl land Many centuries ago the Russian state drew its power and prosperity in this land. National culture various trades originated and developed in this country and brought Yaroslavl a world-wide frame. The first chronicle record of Yaroslavl dates to the beginning of the XI-th century. The foundation of the town is connected with the great Kiev Prince Yaroslav the Wise . According to the ancient legend Yaroslav killed a bear just in the place where the present day Yaroslavl is situated and ordered to found a fortress here. This nice legend gave the emblem to the town, a bear with a pole-axe represented on a silver shield. In 1993 the monument to Yaroslav the Wise was erected on Bogojavlenskaya square. The fortress being disposed on the high bank of the Volga river turned to be on the crossing of important commercial ways, vessels loaded with goods from India and Persia were sailing up the river west to the Europe. Therefore Yaroslavl became gradually a large centre of commerce and handicrafts; stone-masons, blacksmith's work masters, carpenters weavers lived here.

Case Study X* - Moscow Region, Russia The Moscow region (Figure X.1) is located in the western part of the Upper Volga The drinking water supply of Moscow City and the adjacent vicinity is http://www.who.int/docstore/water_sanitation_health/wpcontrol/ch22.htm
Extractions: This case study was prepared by V. A. Vladimirov The Russian Federation state report "Drinking Water" issued in 1994, highlighted among other things the ongoing deterioration in water quality and in the reliability of the Moscow region drinking water supply (State Report, 1994). Almost all studies undertaken in the region in recent years, have indicated that the inadequate technical and sanitary condition of the water sources could lead to risks to human health for the population in this vast and important area (Anon, 1992). These potential problems with the Moscow region drinking water supply are of great concern to the Government of the Russian Federation, the authorities of Moscow City, Moscow, Smolensk and Tver Oblasts, to the mass media and to non-governmental organisations (NGOs). However, it was recognised that the policy and strategy for improvement of the region's water supplies should be based on a comprehensive and environmentally-sound approach. The Ministerial Conference on Drinking Water and Environmental Sanitation "Implementing UNCED Agenda 21" (held in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, March 1993) set forth guiding principles for safe drinking water supply schemes, thereby providing the basis for immediate action by national government and supporting agencies and institutions (UNDP, 1994). In formulating the "Program of Water Quality Improvement in the Sources of Moscow Drinking Water Supply", which was completed in 1994, some efforts were made in the Moscow region to apply those principles in order to attain overall environmental quality and sustainable development objectives.
