Extractions: By Mansur Khasanov We have had the honor of participating in a notable historic eventthe determination of the date of the founding of Kazan, the capital of the Tatar Republic and one of Russia's and the world's largest and oldest cities. This problem, which has exercised the minds of countless academics and members of the public, and which has been a constant topic of debate in historical circles for almost 200 years, has finally been resolved. The solution of this truly fundamental scientific problem was made possible by involving a wide range of academic disciplines, and it is based on entirely new scientific methods and facts. Kazan has gained its rightful age of 1000 years, as confirmed by two academies of sciencethose of Russia and of Tatarstan. And it has gained it in the face of the doubts of skeptics preoccupied by the political rather than the academic aspect of the issue, who see the Tatar capital's 1000 years as a challenge to Moscow, and are prepared to sacrifice scientific arguments at the altar of political expediency.

The Lord Has Revealed Us A Big Field Of Work We are russian ministers and we have a heart not for China or Afghanistan So we coulddo all this work to pray for regions, cities and towns, to arrange http://wordofgrace.narod.ru/purposes.htm
Extractions: Our purposes We, as Russian ministers, know this main problem of young Russian churches. Because of the lack of money for Gods work they are often dependent of Western churches or denominations, who can give donations but also sometimes seek to dominate; and - much worse - sometimes young churches and ministers become dependent of so-called "Christian businessmen" - usually new-converted or half-converted Russian riches who are trying to control the church. So we would like to help to young churches without any control, unconditionally. The actions which we plan to do in this year are following. We have already started two new churches in suburbs of our city. They successfully grow. We plan to support missionaries who work there financially, because now they work without payment. Then, we want to arrange a intercessional network in Chernozemye. Chernozemye is a region of so-called "red belt" of Russia - several regions, where pro-communistic tendencies are very strong nazism. Besides churches which exist there are very small. The lord has shown us this region and put it in our hearts. we want to move there from city to city, to serve to the churches with prayer and teaching, to pray for those cities and towns and villages, destroying the power of Devil upon them. The perspective purpose of this action is starting many intercessional groups for prayer for this region. Besides we admit that it can lead to planting of new churches in this region or to fast growth of the existing.
Extractions: The Humanitarian Situation in the Mountainous Regions of Chechnya GROZNY, January 15, 2001 Several of Chechnyas mountainous regions Shatoisky, Itum-Kalinsky and Sharoisky were faced with bombing from the very first days of the Russian military campaign. The most severe Russian air strikes, however, were directed at the mountainous areas in the eastern part of the republic, along the border with Dagestan. Entire villages were destroyed and hundreds of innocent civilians killed. The Russian government called this crime a justified response to the rebel movement in Dagestan. Thousands of residents were forced to flee from the Nozhay-Yurtovsky, Vedensky and Cheberloyevsky regions. Once the Russian forces had made their way along the Argun Gorge to the Georgian border, they blockaded all towns and villages in the region. Itum-Kalye, which had been a regional capital, was totally destroyed by Russian bombs, and all of its residents were forced to flee to Georgia. Other towns in the Itum-Kaninsky region were not so completely decimated, but life there is incredibly difficult. Many homes were destroyed. Hospitals and clinics were destroyed, and there are no doctors or medicines. Schools have shut down. There is very little food frozen potatoes, some livestock, and the occasional much-welcomed shipment of humanitarian aid.

EARLY RUSSIA of a money economy in these regions, and the has been done on the lower towns, andmost russian cities conform to the Scandinavian pattern and, if evidence of http://www.ku.edu/kansas/medieval/108/texts/russia.html
Extractions: The early history of Russia and particularly the development of Russian towns, is not very clear. This is the result of a complex of factors. Since the Russian Revolution in 1917, and particularly from the revival of Russian nationalism under Stalin in the 1920's and 30's, Soviet doctrine denied or minimized Scandinavian influences in the origins of Russian cities and economy. Archaeological materials, compilations of place-names, and early written materials, such as the bark letters of Novgorod, have been controlled by Soviet scholars, and there has been little opportunity for Western scholars to evaluate them. Whatever has been released generally tends to support the idea that the earliest Russian towns were Slavic settlements and developed in response to indigenous economic conditions. By around 1000, the conversion of the Scandinavians brought raiding to an end and allowed western Europe a degree of peace that made trade possible once again. In the East, by contrast, wars within and between the city-states disturbed the security of the riverain trade routes, and the defeat of the Khazars by Kiev opened the way for Petchinegs from central Russia to occupy the southern reaches of the rivers. Supremacy passed from Kiev to Novgorod, since Russian goods now flowed into the Baltic and reached Constantinople by a very roundabout route. The opposition of these two explanations of the development of Russia in the 9th and 10th centuries is known as the Normanist controversy. Western scholars have generally accepted Pirenne's position since there was never any assurance that Soviet historians were not manipulating their data, but most have recognized that Pirenne's formulation leaves much to be desired. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there may be new opportunities for research in the subject.

Extractions: Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway is surely a mythic experience for any travellers . It is the longest continuous rail line on earth with almost six thousand miles (or about ten thousand kilometers) over one third of the globe! A great part of the pleasure of such a trip is simply sitting back and watching the land go by. Is what makes the trip an unforgettable experience. Today, with far fewer travel restrictions, it is possible to use the rail journey as the core of a more varied tour. Travelers can enjoy stopovers in many of the Russian cities and towns (*) along the route, from the historic Volga port of Yaroslavl to Irkutsk and the scenic Lake Baikal region. (*) ho chiesto autorizzazione a linkare sul sito menzionato By 1880, Vladivostok had grown into a major port city, and the lack of adequate transportation links between European Russia and its Far Eastern provinces soon became an obvious problem. In 1891, Tsar Alexander III drew up plans for the Trans-Siberian Railway and initiated its construction. Upon his death three years later, the work was continued by his son Nicholas. Despite the huge project, a continuous route was completed in 1905, having been rushed to completion by the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War the year before. The present route of the line, including both the difficult stretch around Baikal and a northerly

Employment! Legality", has seen the participation of more than 14 million people. Stoppages of work and strikes - as the basic form of Action - covered over 12 thousand enterprises and organisations across the country involving about 2 million people. Plus to that, rallies, meetings, picketings took place in 68 (out of 78) territorial centers and in more than 1100 cities, towns and local communities and in 65 thousand working collectives all over Russia. Many trade unions non-affiliated to the FNPR, and all those cooperating with it on the basis of bilateral agreements, also joined in. The FNPR is highly appreciative of the 132 messages of support and solidarity it received from national and international trade union organisations across the world. Particularly, it thanks wholeheartedly the ICFTU and organisations of its family for their international campaign of solidarity with Russian workers. Many protest messages have been sent directly to the President, Legislative and Executive bodies of the Russian Federation. Along with the basic slogans of the Day of Action, resolutions adopted at various meetings have brought up additional demands, addressed to employers, federal and local authorities. Among them - in the sphere of economic demands:

Extractions: Developments Urban Environment Around 80% of the European Unions population lives in cities and towns. Urban areas are therefore the places where environmental problems most affect the quality of life of Europes citizens. Urban areas also create environmental problems in their own right due to the high density of activities that take place there. This high level of urbanisation within Europe means that there is a strong urban dimension to many of the Community's environmental policies. In addition, the urban environment is increasingly discussed as a subject in its own right as reflected in the requirement in the 6 th Environmental Action Programme to prepare a Thematic Strategy on the Urban Environment This web page gives information on the Environment DG's urban environment policy initiatives opportunities for funding for sustainable urban development and relevant work undertaken by other Directorate Generals of the Commission.
