CURRICULUM KITS by TOPIC Commercially produced kits are listed at the top, by publisher.
I started to re-arrange this whole section, but now I've changed my mind and decided to arrange kits by geographical area instead. For today, publishers with several titles and regular updates are listed first. I hope to come back and rework all this later in the week.
To borrow a kit, e-mail nrc@fas.harvard.edu or call 617/495-8095. "Existing Review" means that a review was written by my predecessors, probably taken from the publishers' introduction. The Choices for the 21st Century Education Program , Brown University:

The Russian Revolution
, 2005, 46 pages, acquired in our library May 2005
Outlines the origin of discontent among peasants and workers as far back as 1861, concludes with Stalin's consolidation of power with his reign of terror. Traces the various parties and movements competing for power, and concludes by preparing students to debate the sides of these factions.

28. SEND International Christian World Missions - Siberia - Geography
Curving around the North Pole in a huge arc, Russia (the Russian human and natural resources is a striking feature of russian geography and population.
http://www.send.org/siberia/geography.htm
Curving around the North Pole in a huge arc, Russia (the Russian Federation) spans almost half the globe from east to west and about 4,000 kilometers (2,480 miles) from north to south. Divided into eleven time zones, Russia is by far the world's largest country. It occupies much of Eastern Europe and northern Asia. The terrain is diverse. There are great stands of forest, mountain ranges, and vast plains. There are also great reserves of natural resources that provide the nation with enormous potential wealth. Russia ranks sixth in the world in population, trailing China, India, the United States, Indonesia, and Brazil. The Ural Mountains, which extend more than 2,200 kilometers (1,364 miles) from north to south, form the boundary separating the unequal European and Asian sectors of Russia. Asian Russia is about as large as China and India combined, but it is the European western part that is home to more than 75 percent of Russia's inhabitants. This acutely uneven distribution of human and natural resources is a striking feature of Russian geography and population. The government has tried in vain to settle people in sparsely populated Asian areas rich in resources. Meanwhile, the European part is depleting water and fuel resources faster than Russia can exploit resource-rich Siberia.

CURVING AROUND THE NORTH POLE in a huge arc, Russia (the Russian Federation) spans almost half the globe from east to west and about 4,000 kilometers from north to south. Divided into eleven time zones, Russia is by far the world's largest country. It occupies much of Eastern Europe and northern Asia. The country's terrain is diverse, with extensive stands of forest, numerous mountain ranges, and vast plains. On and below the surface of the land are extensive reserves of natural resources that provide the nation with enormous potential wealth. Russia ranks sixth in the world in population, trailing China, India, the United States, Indonesia, and Brazil. The population is as varied as the terrain. Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians) are the most numerous of the more than 100 European and Asiatic nationalities. glasnost (see Glossary), revelations of extreme environmental degradation have tarnished the image of the Siberian development program. The Soviet and Russian environmental record has been generally dismal. Seven decades of Soviet rule left irradiated landscapes and marine ecosystems, a desiccated inland sea, befouled rivers, and toxic urban air as reminders of the consequences of seeking industrialization at any price. Russia and the other Soviet republics responded to the pressures of the long and costly Cold War by developing a defense-oriented, production-obsessed economy amid ecological devastation. Without a genuine environmental movement until its final years, the Soviet Union left in its wake an environmental catastrophe that will take decades and perhaps trillions of dollars to repair even partially.

ABUBEKIR AHMEDJAN DIVAY 1855-1933. ETHNOGRAPHER, ANTIQUARIAN, PROFESSOR, TRANSLATOR
H. B. Paksoy
Divay, a Bashkurt (in Russian sources, Bashkir), was born on 19 December 1855 in Orenburg and lived most of his life among the Kazakhs. He attended the Orenburg Nepliuev military academy, first studying in the Asiatic Division, where the majority of his classmates were reportedly Kazakhs and second in the division for the preparation of translators of Oriental languages for the steppe regions. In 1876-1877, at the age of 21, Divay left school to accept an appointment in the Russian bureaucracy of the Turkistan territory (krai). There in the southern steppe region Divay travelled and was able to visit many Kazakh, Kirghiz and Uzbek villages (aul). He held the post of Divisional Inspector of the Evliya-Ata (in Russian sources Aulie-Atinsk) district (uezd) and then became translator and junior official of Special Missions attached to the Governor-General of the Syr-Darya region (oblast). This latter post gave him wide opportunities to travel throughout the Turkistan territory. In 1883, Divay began collecting ethnographic materials. The following year, the Governor-General of the Syr-Darya region, N. I. Grodekov, initiated the collection of information on Kazakh and Kirghiz customary law in order to publish a code of juridical customs of the nomadic peoples of the region. While working on this project, Divay reportedly collected "historical legends from ancient manuscripts, in the hands of educated Kirghiz, [and] heroic poems, aphorisms, fables, riddles, incantations, etc." A portion of these materials was published in Grodekov's book and the remainder, including fables, legends, songs, poems and dastans (Central Asian ornate oral histories), were published in Collection of Materials for Statistics of the Syr-Darya Region (Sbornik materialov dlia statistiki Syr-Darinskoi oblasti) for 1891-1897, 1901, 1902, 1904, 1905, and 1907. These articles by Divay were reviewed by various prominent Orientalists of the time.

From: "John P.

My efforts had little effect: Deterioration continues, and its ultimate goals and possible consequences have become more clear. I've worked in Russia's nature reserves for 35 years, and trust me, conditions are terrible. Enough watching the decay‹let us try to save our unique system of protected areas! ‹Dr. A.A.

Russian Geography
As the largest country in the world, Russian has a very diverse geography. Northern Russian extends into the Arctic Circle. This area is primarily tundra, and covered by forests, with thousands of rivers and lakes.
From Eastern Europe to Nothern Asia Russia spans 11 Time Zones.
Climate ranges from temperate to Arctic continental. There are areas of Russia on the northern borders that are always covered with snow, but most areas have standard summer and winter seazons. There are areas in the South that will only see snow once or twice a year.
Russia has many mountains. The largest are:
  • The Ural mountains - cover 2,500 miles of eastern Russia The Caucasus mountains -they cross the southern part of Russia, from the Black Sea to the Caspia Sea
  • From the western boarder to the Ural mountains is the North European Plain. This is a large rolling plain with rich soil and grasslands.
    Three quarters of the Russian population lives in the cities and towns of western Russia.
    Land usage: 10% arable, 45% forests, 5% meadows and pasture, and 40% other, including tundra.

    http://www.koreanhistoryproject.org/Jta/Ru/RuGEO0.htm
    List of Interactive Maps GENERAL DESCRIPTION Russia's shores are washed by the waves of ten seas belonging to three oceans: the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Arctic Ocean. Though immense in territory, nearly 70% of Russia consists of broad plains and steppes. Russia also contains some 2 million fresh and saltwater lakes as well as many glaciers in its Arctic and high mountain regions. In western Russia, the East European Plain includes the low Valdai, Central Russian, and Volga Hills as well as the OkaDon and Caspian Lowlands. The north to south Ural Mountain Ranges, with an average elevation between 800 and 1,200 m (2,625 and 3,937 ft), mark the "official" eastern boundary of the East European Plain and the beginning of Asia. Beyond the Urals to the east lies the broad and flat West Siberian Plain, a vast expanse of marshy lowlands. This landscape gradually gives way to the strongly uplifted Central Siberian Plateau, an undulating countryside which combines high mountains and a complex chain of deep river valleys cut into the plateau's surface. Further east, the plateau blends into the Central Yakut Plain. There are about 120,000 rivers in the northern area of Siberia, most of which remain icebound for eight months of the year. Eastern and southern Russia are predominantly mountainous. South of the Caspian Depression and the Yergeni Hills, the Caucasus Mountains run northwest to southeast along Russia's border between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Russia's highest point, Mt. El'Brus at 5,642 metres (18,510 feet), lies in the Caucasus range. Many active volcanoes are also found along Russia's weat coast and throughout the Kuril Islands.
