Observation Results

Bombus pomorum (Panzer, 1805) is known from Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and to the Urals in Russia.  Two specimens have been collected in the south of western Siberia for the first time.  It is possible that the species is indigenous to Siberia but was not discovered until regular observations were made.  There is also a possibility that this observation results from an expansion of the range of B. pomorum.  We consider the evidence that our study coincided with a range expansion of the bumblebee species B. pomorum and B. sylvarum (Linnaeus,1761) near the end of 20th century.  The distribution and abundance of B. pomorum in Russia and conservation efforts are also discussed.

Information on the Sphagnum mosses of the South Ossetia is generalized, the resulted list is presented. Nine species of Sphagnum are included in the list, whereabouts data and references to the publications are given, and the presence of a sample in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute RAS (LE) is noted. The species Sphagnum platyphyllum (Lindb. ex Braithw.) Warnst. rarely occurring in the Caucasus is reported in the South Ossetia for the first time. The species was found in the Caucasus, South Ossetia, at the side of the Ertso Lake (42°28ʹN, 43°45ʹE), 1720 m a. s. l., among sedge thickets at the margin of the overgrowing lake. The peculiarities of its occurrence and ecological conditions are considered. Its distribution in the Caucasus and in the world is discussed.

During the 20th century many insect species have expanded into Finland and established themselves as part of the fauna. Some species of Coleoptera seem to have been carried here originally by man, but nowadays live outdoors. Many other species seem to have reached Finland on their own, and colonized a minor or major part of the country. Most colonists have come from the south, only a few from the east or north-east. This article lists various kinds of newcomers to Finland.

The research is aimed at updating the attention to the collections from museum storerooms, to the artifacts fragments that make up the bulk of their funds. The late Paleolithic Chernoozerye II site is located in the Sargatsky district of the Omsk region, it was discovered and studied in the late 1960s and early 1970s by the Ural archaeological expedition led by V. F. Gening and V. T. Petrin. Materials of this complex are well published by its discoverers. Bone artifacts decorated with ornaments are represented by a dagger, fragments of diadems, pendants, and a “hatchet”. The study is focused on two fragments of bone artifacts with a disturbed ornamental record, they are stored at the Omsk State Museum of History and Local Lore (OMK 9675/710, OMK 9675/713). The author discusses the technical algorithm of ornamental practice that is typical for this complex. The revealed stylistic features of ornamental plots contribute to the development of certain topics of paleoart studies — morphology of ornamental plots/signs, chronological markers of ornaments, principles of observation and fixation of patterns, cultural and genetic aspects of the development of simple plots. The results are offered as arguments for the development of a discussion about the vectors of cultural development in the south of Western Siberia in the final Paleolithic. For the first time, based on the characteristics of the key parameters of ornamental plots (the form of signs and the syntax of their constituent elements), the paper has indicated to the connection between the Chernoozerye material and the Ural ornamental tradition of the final Paleolithic — early Mesolithic.

Research subject. Brachiopods from the core of the Kurgan-Uspenskaya-1 parametric borehole. The borehole was drilled in the south of Western Siberia 80 km southeast of the Kurgan town. Brachiopods were collected at a depth of 1,525.4 m in the IV tectonic block (core interval 1,450–1,794 m) in the greenish-gray marls of the Famennian stage of the Upper Devonian.Materials and methods. The paleontological material is presented in the form of complete undamaged shells and individual valves of small- and medium-sized brachiopods. The safety of brachiopods makes it possible to determine their species and genera, sometimes in open nomenclature. The article provides a brief description of the available material.Results. 11 species of brachiopods of the subtype Rhynchonelliformea belonging to six orders and nine genera were identified. The following ten species were described: Orbinaria fallax (Pand.), Semiproductus amplus Bubl., Schuchertella sp., Dalejina? sp., Camarotoechia panderi (Sem.et Moell.), C. volucera Nal., Athyris tobolica Nal., Cleiothyridina tenuilineata (Row.), Cl. ex gr. pectinata (Sem. et Moell.), Retzia? sp. The presented information allows conclusions about the age of the sediments enclosing the brachiopods under study and expands the existing knowledge of both the composition of the Upper Famennian brachiopods of the basement of the south of Western Siberia and their geographical and stratigraphic distribution.Conclusion. An analysis of the stratigraphic distribution of the described brachiopods taking into account data on foraminifera allowed us to determine the age of the host rocks as the very top of the Famennian stage. The composition of the brachiopods allows these rocks to be correlated with coeval deposits of the East European Platform, Timan, the Urals, Kuzbass, the Gorny Altai, Kazakhstan and North America.

В статье рассмотрены два предмета из Сибирской коллекции Краковского этнографического музея – женская шуба из оленьего меха и шапка из шкуры росомахи. В ходе исследования удалось выяснить имя дарителя – Исидора-Александра Собанского, сосланного в Сибирь участника Польского восстания 1863 г. Была обнаружена не известная ранее специалистам литография русского художника В.Д. Сверчкова, изображающая, в частности, женскую шапку и шубу, схожие с рассматриваемыми предметами из собрания Собанского. Установлено, что шапки из шкур росомахи были повседневным головным убором ненецких женщин на всем пространстве расселения этого этноса. Иногда такие шапки носили шаманы. Кроме того, сегодня известно, что женские шубы, аналогичные тем, что носили ненцы Канинского п-ова, до начала XX в. бытовали также в Приуралье и в низовьях Оби, куда их привозили из-за Урала невесты. В статье также затронуты малоизученные темы польских ссыльных в Западной Сибири и изображения ненцев в работах русских и зарубежных художников. Благодаря ссыльным, вернувшимся на родину из Сибири, в Польшу попали предметы, составившие основу Сибирской коллекции музея. Она насчитывает более 350 экспонатов, среди которых одежда, обувь, головные уборы, изделия из бересты, меха, кожи и костей животных. Почти все вещи были изготовлены в XIX в. разными народами Севера и Сибири – ненцами, селькупами, эвенками, эвенами, чукчами, коряками, алеутами. Two objects from the Siberian collection of the Krakow Ethnographic Museum are discussed in the article – a women’s fur coat from deer fur and a hat from wolverine skin. In the course of the study, the name of the donor was found out – Isidor-Alexander Sobansky, a Polish rebel of 1863, exiled to Siberia. A previously unknown to specialists lithography by the Russian artist Vladimir Sverchkov was discovered; it depicts a woman’s hat and a fur coat similar to objects from the Sobansky collection. It is known that hats from wolverine skins were part of everyday clothes of Nenets women throughout the territory of the Nenets settlement. Sometimes they were worn by shamans. The article proves that until the beginning of the 20th century women’s fur coats of the Nenets of the Kaninsky peninsula were also worn in the Urals and in the lower Ob, having been brought there by brides. In addition, the article touches on poorly studied topics of the Polish exile in Western Siberia and the depiction of the Nenets in the works of Russian and foreign artists. Thanks to the exiles who returned to their homeland from Siberia, the items that formed the basis of the Siberian collection came to Poland. The collection contains more than 350 items, including clothing, footwear, hats, products from birch bark, fur, leather and animal bones. Almost all of them were made in the 19th century by different peoples of the North and Siberia  – Nenets, Selkups, Evenks, Evens, Chukchi, Koryaks, Aleuts.

This work deals with six species of oribatid mites recovered from a sedge-moss bog (Carex–Eriophorum–Sphagnum association), located in the south of Western Siberia, Russia. Two species, Banksinoma exobothridialis and Banksinoma longisetosa (Thyrisomidae) are new to the fauna of Russia. This finding is interesting in regards to the biogeography and the habitat ecology of both species. Two other relatively rare species of Trhypochthoniidae have been found: Mainothrus badius, which is recorded for the first time in Asia; and Trhypochthonius nigricans, recorded for the first time in Western Siberia. In addition, Holarctic species Suctobelbella palustris (Suctobelbidae) and Limnozetes ciliatus (Limnozetidae) are reported with supplementary descriptions and illustrations. In this article, we discuss the distribution and habitat ecology of each of the above species.

The article shows the role of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair as the most important point of the Russo-Persian trade in the second half of the 19th - early 20th century. The problem of transportation of goods from Persia to Nizhny Novgorod and in the opposite direction is also considered. This research is based on the body of documents stored in the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire and introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. On the base of them the authors show the inefficiency of activity of the Caucasus and Mercury Company, which actually monopolized the goods transportation across the Caspian Sea during the revised period. The extremely low speed of delivery of Russian goods purchased by Persian merchants at the Nizhny Novgorod Fair damaged not only private merchants commerce, involved in Russian-Persian trade, but also inevitably entailed a decrease in the overall trade between the two states.
