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.

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.

In 1894, the French scientist Joseph de Baye (1853–1931), an archaeologist, ethnographer, historian, traveler and collector, had visited the excavations and Museum in Chersonesus for the first time. In 1905, Baron de Baye had revisited the Crimea and the Museum in Chersonesus. The memory of this remains on the pages of «Books for visitors of the Chersonesus Museum», stored in the archive of the Museum-reserve. The Baron was personally acquainted with K. K. Kosciusko-Valyuzhinich, who was the first head of the excavations and Museum in Chersonesus, also was in correspondence with him and repeatedly donated his own works to the Museum library. The scientific library of the state Museum-reserve «Tauric Chersonese» has a very representative collection of his works, characterized by a unique composition, the history of receipt, the presence of gift inscriptions and other proprietary signs. Baron de Baye popularized the historical and archaeological antiquities of the South of Russia among his colleagues in France, Chersonesus in particular, and did a lot for establishment of strong scientific and cultural ties between France and Russia, including in the field of archaeology.

Holarctic Species

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.

Purposeful Activity

The paper considers the problems of the Christian doctrine spread in the context of incorporation into Russia and the cultural development of the Siberian territory. The object of the research is the Orthodox missionary; the subject is the specifics of the missionary activity of Orthodox adepts in interfaith relations and contradictions. The author sets a goal to determine the role of Orthodox missionary in interfaith interaction in the south of Western Siberia in the second third of XIX - beginning of XX century. The paper focuses on the traditional and innovative tactical methods of improving preaching, which was transformed under the influence of changes in the state course with regard to national outskirts, and the intensification of confessional rivals. In the paper on the example of changes in the religious situation at the beginning of the XX century the author characterizes reaction of the Altai spiritual missioners to the public manifestation of the Burkhanist movement, which was a regional syncretic variation of Northern Buddhism. The author concludes that as a result of its purposeful activity, Orthodox missionary actualized the ideas of monotheism and messianism in the traditional religious consciousness of the indigenous people, but they were more successfully interpreted by Buddhist adepts in the dogma of Burkhanism. This fact contributed to the transition of missionary work from predominantly flexible methods of Christianization and to more hard and intensive methods of dogma spreading.

Zoya Ilyinichna Glezer is the largest Russian micropaleontologist, a specialist in siliceous microfossils — Cenozoic diatoms and silicoflagellates. Since the 1960s, she systematically studied Paleogene siliceous microfossils from various regions of the country and therefore was an indispensable participant in the development of unified stratigraphic schemes for Paleogene siliceous plankton of various regions of the USSR. She made a great contribution to the creation of the newest Paleogene schemes in the south of European Russia and Western Siberia, to the correlations of the Paleogene deposits of the Kara Sea.

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.
