FORESTRY PROFILES (in Russian) Cooperation in the Development and Conservation of Russia's Forests Introduction Russian Forestry Profiles Building Partnerships for Forest Conservation Natural Resource-Based Economic Development Project With over 850 million hectares of forests and over 80 billion cubic metres of standing timber, Russia has the largest forest resource in the world. The vastness of the forest resource and the immensity of Russian geography are on a scale incomparable in the world. In fact, trees cover over 50 percent of the land area in Russia, making forests the dominant land use in the country. Russian forests are of national and global importance for the economic, social, and environmental benefits they provide, accounting for about one-fifth of the global forest area. Boreal forests, similar to the forests found in northern Canada, are the most common in Russia. In 2000, the population of Russia was 146 million, the majority living in the western part of the country. In that year the gross national product was US$1660 per capita, a level considerably below Russia's prosperous neighbours in Europe. The World Bank estimated that nearly 31 percent of the population lived below the national poverty line in 1994. In the rural areas, particularly in the communities found near the forests, the incidence of poverty is much higher than the national average. The nation's current economic difficulties, persistent limitations on human and financial resources, ongoing government restructuring process, and introduction of democratic reforms, make finding workable solutions for social and economic development very complicated.

Russia Introduction [Top of Page] Background: The defeat of the Russian Empire in World War I led to the seizure of power by the communists and the formation of the USSR. The brutal rule of Josef STALIN (1924-53) strengthened Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 broke up the USSR into 15 independent republics. Since then, Russia has struggled in its efforts to build a democratic political system and market economy to replace the strict social, political, and economic controls of the communist period. Geography [Top of Page] Location: Northern Asia (that part west of the Urals is sometimes included with Europe), bordering the Arctic Ocean, between Europe and the North Pacific Ocean

Love - "A Passage To China": A French Jesuit’s Perceptions Of Siberia Although the russian government blocked his attempt to pass through Siberia, P¨re Philippe Avril's fiveyear quest for a land passage from Europe to Beijing contributed to European knowledge of Asian geography. http://muse.jhu.edu/demo/french_colonial_history/v003/3.1love.html

French Colonial History [Access article in PDF] "A Passage to China": A French Jesuit's Perceptions of Siberia in the 1680s Ronald S. Love Abstract: In 1693, Philippe Avril's relation, (Paris: 1692), appeared in English. In his preface, the anonymous translator denounced those Catholic clergymen who had been so "zealous to spread [End Page 85] abroad their Superstitions in far-distant and New discover'd parts of the World." Avril seemed to invite this attack by his frank admission that his chief goal in finding a new land route to fabled Cathay was "to preach [the Gospels] to the Barbarians. " Yet the English translator also confessed that the "same zealous curiosity" of the priests had "tack'd together two Extremities of the World, that were thought to lie disjoined from one another before." He thus acknowledged the book's geographic value as a work "of great importance for the Advantages of Foreign Commerce and Traffick, and becoming the Encouragement of all the European Princes." Avril's objective was no less pragmatic, though his inspiration followed from evangelical rather than mercantile impulse. At this time, owing to the large numbers of clergy who perished tragically every year at sea, a major preoccupation of the Catholic Church was to discover a safe land route from Europe to Peking. This concern was especially meaningful for the China mission, since of "all the Eastern Countries to which the Light of the Gospel has been convey'd, there are few wherein more considerable Progresses have been made."
