Introduction: game culture of the Khanty end Mansi peoples has been developed over a long period of time, and it reveals different game plots, analogies of which we can find only in the Far East, Amur region, North-East of Russia and in North America. This allows us to determine the directions of the oldest contacts of migrations and cultural borrowings. Objective: to reveal common game plots in the culture of the Ob Ugrians and the peoples of the Far East and the North- East of Russia with following determination of the time and place of their emergence. Research materials: game plots published in works on the game culture of the Ob Ugrians, the peoples of the Far East, the Amur region, the North-East of Russia, and the Indians of North America. Results and novelty of the research: two games «The Snow Snake» and «Get Into the Ring With A Spear» were revealed, which linked the game cultures of Western Siberia, the Far East, the Amur region and North America, as well as at least three original stories: games with a large number of stones, various types of jumping, and jumping over sledges (narty) of the Khanty and Mansi peoples, which found analogies with the games of the peoples of the Far East and the North-East of Russia. The same type of rules, similar game equipment, and the male character of the games are observed. The author comes to the conclusion that the considered games originate from the oldest male rituals that came to America with Paleolithic migrants and have been preserved in the format of games. The games of the Eskimos, Chukchi, Koryaks and peoples of the Amur region, as well as the Ob Ugrians, indicate the existence of a common cultural space at a later time, but not earlier than the Paleolithic. Subsequently, the unity was destroyed: tribes and cultures migrated to the North-West (the ancestors of the Khanty and Mansi), to the North-East (the ancestors of the Chukchi, Koryaks, Evenks, etc.), and to the East (the ancestors of the peoples of the Amur region and the Far East). The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the game culture of the mentioned ethnic groups in a comparative aspect has not previously been the subject of scientific research.

The City

Little is necessary in terms of an introduction, since Amarna is one of the best-known settlements of ancient Egypt. The city was founded by pharaoh Amenhotep IV, known from his fifth regal year as Akhenaten, on his move away from Thebes and Memphis to found a new religious and administrative capital city. Akhenaten reigned approximately between 1348 and 1331 BC, and his principal wife was Nefertiti. Akhenaten’s direct successor appears to have been a figure named Smenkhare (or Ankhkheperure) who was married to Akhenaten’s daughter Meritaten. Like Nefertiti, Smenkhare/Ankhkheperure held the throne name Nefernefruaten. For this reason it is uncertain whether this individual was Nefertiti, who may have reigned for some years after the death of Akhenaten, possibly even with a brief co-regency, or whether this was a son or younger brother of the latter. The rule of Smenkhare/Ankhkheperure was short, and he or she was eventually succeeded by Tutankhamun. The core city of Amarna was erected on a relatively flat desert plain surrounded by cliffs on the east bank of the Nile, in Middle Egypt, approximately 60km south of the modern city of Minia, surrounded by the villages et- Till to the north and el-Hagg Qandil to the south. The site was defined by at least sixteen boundary stelae, three of which actually stand on the western bank, past the edge of the modern cultivation. In total, the city measures 12.5km north–south on the east bank between stelae X and J, and c.8.2km west–east between the projected line between stelae X and J and stela S to the far east, which also indicates approximately the longitude of the royal tomb. The distance between stelae J and F, to the far south-west, measures c.20km, and between stelae X and A, to the far north-west 19.2km. The core city, which is the part of the settlement examined in this section, was erected along the Nile, on the east bank, and it is defined by the ‘Royal Road’, a major thoroughfare running through the entire core city north–south.

Purpose. To analyze the significance of V. Ogorodnikov’s 1929 article on finds from Olsky (Zaviyalova) Island in the historiography of archaeological research in northeastern Russia. Results. An analysis of his published materials, in the context of the history of archaeological research in Northeast Asia in the 18th – first quarter of the 20th century shows that this was, in fact, the first professional publication on archaeological research in this part of northeast Asia. Until that time, sporadic publications about random finds and their fragmentary descriptions did not give a holistic picture of human existence in these territories. It was also the first Russian archaeological publication post-revolution on the antiquities of the north of the Far East. However, Ogorodnikov’s article, from the day of its publication, was forgotten, and in all further archaeological research, both in Northeast Asia as a whole, and on Zaviyalova Island and in Taui Bay in particular, was not mentioned and was not analyzed by the archaeologists who conducted research there, although the conclusions made by him were confirmed by further work. This, apparently, was due to the fact that although he was a well-known Siberian historian and the first Dean of the Department of History of Irkutsk University, Ogorodnikov was unjustly repressed for political reasons in 1933 and died in 1938 in a Gulag camp. Despite the fact that he was politically rehabilitated in 1957, his name has not yet returned to the historiography of archeology of Northeast Asia. This publication aims to fill this gap. The Neolithic age of the archaeological materials declared and published by Ogorodnikov, previously unforeseen and not justified by anyone for Northeast Asia, was fully confirmed by further research. Conclusion. The publication by Ogorodnikov in 1929 featuring results of the first excavations in Taui Bay on Olsky (Zaviyalova) Island is a significant milestone in archaeological research in the North-East of Russia.

The Individual

The article discusses linguistic and artistic realities, problems and perspectives of the literatures of the indigenous peoples of the North and the Far East. The author fixes the widespread writing of works in Russian, comprehends the reasons for the linguistic transition, raises the question of the theoretical and substantive expansion of the concept of “national literature”, emphasizes the importance of the individual author's ethnocultural component. The author considers as a landmark projection of the development of “minority” national literatures the method of including elements of the “native” language in a Russian-language poem, an appeal to the topic “native language”, the experience of accidentally recognizing one's own in the sounds of a genetically non-native language. Special attention is paid to the problem of literary translation into Russian, some scenarios of distortion of texts in translations and reduction precedents of important mythological contexts are presented. The conclusions obtained during the analysis of a large corpus of poetic texts from the Nenets, Dolgan, Even, Chukchi, Koryak, Nanai literatures can be of significant analytical interest in a comparative aspect.

The article considers all stages of development of Russian-Chinese interregional cross-border cooperation in the Far East, from chaotic «shuttle trade» to large infrastructure and energy projects. The role of the state in structuring of interregional relations and subordinating them to common ideas is demonstrated with the use of programmatic approach. The implementation of the program of cooperation between the regions of the Far East, Eastern Siberia of the Russian Federation and the North-East of the People's Republic of China (2009-2018) and its significance for the further development of interregional cooperation between countries are ana-lyzed. The role of major infrastructure and energy projects, as well as territories of advanced socio-economic development in Russian-Chinese cross-border cooperation, is considered. The main aspects of the new Program for the Development of Russian-Chinese Cooperation in Trade, Economic and Investment fields in the Russian Far East for 2018-2024 are defined. The prospects for its implementation are estimated

The One

The transarctic flights of 1926 and 1928 demonstrate the possibility of establishing communication by air across the Arctic regions between Europe, on the one side, and North America and the Far East on the other. Quite aside from the saving of time owing to shorter distance, the establishment of such communication presents considerably less diiSculty than air communication over the Atlantic: a conclusion derived from the transatlantic flights of the last three years. The experience of the airship Italia in May, 1928, does not at all nullify this conclusion. It serves merely to show that the organization of transarctic communication requires special prearrangements, such aa wireless stations, meteorological stations, landing-places, air-bases, the construction of which on the shores, islands, and even on the ice of the Arctic Ocean, appears to be quite feasible. The necessity for such stations has aroused in the governments of the North countries an increased interest in the Arctic regions which heretofore has been restricted to scientific circles.

The Impact

On the coast of the Russian Far East the climate is monsoon, which is most pro-nounced in the south and northeast waning. Seasonal change of oceanic and continental influence is reflected in the nature of the climate: summer is moderatelywarm and rainy, winter is cold and snowy. On Sakhalin winters are less severe than on the mainland. In Kamchatka, where the winters are milder, the influence of the continental monsoon less. In the southern part of Primorye snow is so small that there is in the rivers spring flood. In the north of the Amur region, Sakhalin, Kamchatka rainfall and snowpack increases. In the summer is dominated by southeast wind, which spread to the continent moist Pacific air. During the year, between the Pacific Ocean and the south of the Far East there is an intensive exchange of air masses. Seasonal change of air currents is determined by the thermal contrast between the continent and the ocean. During the year passes over the area to an average of 100 cyclones (3–6 per month during the cold period, and up to 3 – warm), which are ac-companied by increased wind, cloudy weather with precipitation, and in late summer and early au-tumn, typhoons observed outputs. Typhoons are accompanied by stormy winds reaching speeds of over 40 m / sec. and heavy rains. A wide variety of observed in the distribution of precipitation. The Chukchi-Anadyr area for the warm period falls to 200–250 mm in the north of the Sea of Okhotsk – 400–500 mm, in intermountain basins up to 250–300 mm. To the south the amount of precipitation increases to 500 to 600 mm in the Amur region and 900–1000 mm on the western slopes of Sikhote Alin. In the course of the annual maximum rainfall in the second half of the summer, but there are rainy June and September. No wonder that in such conditions, corrosion, material of hydraulic structures is most intense. Concrete and cement stone reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive attack, particularly the aggressive action of CO2 common acid gas, which is to neutralize the surface layer of concrete and the formation of the compounds that affect its properties. The article discusses the impact of the environment model south of the Far East, mainly due to the impact on hydraulic reinforced concrete structures of carbon dioxide in the environment, with subsequent corrosion of concrete and reinforcement.

AbstractThe present distributions of stonefly genera in North America, their occurrence as endemics, or as shared with the Far East, Europe and South America, are considered in conjunction with geological history. It is concluded that the Plecoptera of North America have four sources of origin.There was an ancient eastern fauna shared with Europe before the formation of the North Atlantic Ocean. A second group moved in from the west during the formation of the western mountains. After formation of the isthmus one genus moved northward from South America. After the Pleistocene period several species migrated from the Bering Strait region, possibly from an Alaskan refugium. Some of these have clearly moved eastward, but a few may have moved westward.

The research of geographical plantations is a tool to study the geographical variation of the inherited features of forest species. The present article demonstrates growth results of the geographical plantations of pine on the north-eastern territory of the Moscow Region. The lots were established under the supervision of Prof. S.S. Lisin and are represented by two patches located in Sverdlovskoye Forest District of Schelkovo Experimental Forest Enterprise of Moscow State Forest University. Another scheduled inventory was carried out in the both stands upon reaching of the age of 50 years. This age indicates that the geographical plantations are at their final stage of stem formation. The generation evaluation index was used to give unbiased assessment of the provenances’ growth. The indices were calculated on the basis of average height, diameter and volume per hectare at the age of 30 and 50 years. The ranks of the provenances vary within the process of growth. The ecotypes ranked to be the best at the age of 50 years (stem formation stage) were not ranked the same good at the age of 30 years (pole-wood stage). The provenances from the Volgograd and Sumy regions showed the highest age stability among the best types. This proves the ongoing variation of the Scots Pine provenances. However, it is necessary to point out that such variation in terms of growth takes place within more and more limited ranges. On the whole, the provenances from the Volgograd, Saratov and Tambov regions of Russia along with those from the Ukraine and Latvia are considered to be the most suitable for the conditions of the north-east of the Moscow Region. The growth intensity of the Scots Pine provenances decreases if moving to the north and east. The climatic type from the European North, Ural, Siberia and the Far East are considered to be the least suitable.
