The vole Alexandromys evoronensis (Kovalskaya et Sokolov, 1980) with its two chromosomal races, “Evoron” (2n = 38–41, NF = 54–59) and “Argi” (2n = 34, 36, 37, NF = 51–56) is the endemic vole found in the Russian Far East. For the “Argi” chromosomal race, individuals from two isolated populations in mountain regions were investigated here for the first time using GTG-, GTC-, NOR methods. In the area under study, 8 new karyotype variants have been registered. The karyotype with 2n = 34 has a rare tandem fusion of three autosomes: two biarmed (Mev6 and Mev7) and one acrocentric (Mev14) to form a large biarmed chromosome (Mev6/7/14), all of which reveal a heterozygous state. For A. evoronensis, the variation in the number of chromosomes exceeded the known estimate of 2n = 34, 36 and amounted to 2n = 34, 36, 38–41. The combination of all the variations of chromosomes for the species made it possible to describe 20 variants of the A. evoronensis karyotype, with 11 chromosomes being involved in multiple structural rearrangements. In the “Evoron” chromosomal race 4 chromosomes (Mev1, Mev4, Mev17, and Mev18) and in the “Argi” chromosomal race 9 chromosomes (Mev6, Mev7, Mev14, Mev13, Mev11, Mev15, Mev17, Mev18, and Mev19) were observed. Tandem and Robertsonian rearrangements (Mev17/18 and Mev17.18) were revealed in both chromosomal races “Evoron” and “Argi”.

The larvae, male and female imagines, and eggs of Cinygmula levanidovi Tshernova & Belov 1982 are described based on reared specimens from the Russian Far East. The larvae, female imago and eggs are described and illustrated for the first time. The larva of C. levanidovi is similar to the one of C. hirasana Imanishi, 1935 and C. kurenzovi (Bajkova, 1965). However, it can be distinguished from these species and from all other Far Eastern Cinygmula by the shape of its tergalius I, which has a heart-shape and bears a single short gill filament. Tergalius I of C. hirasana and C. kurenzovi possess a similar shape, but there are no gill filaments on the first and the other tergalii.

The subfamily Araeopteroninae Fibiger, 2005 from the Russian Far East and neighbouring countries is revised. Six species occur in Russia, three of which are new: A. ussurica sp. n., A. makikoae sp. n. and A. patella sp. n.; A. fragmenta and A. nebulosa are reported for the first time for Russia. In South Korea five species occur, two of which are new: A. patella sp. n. and A. koreana sp. n. Three species, A. amoena, A. nebulosa, and A. fragmenta are reported for the first time from China. The formerly described Far Eastern species (A. amoena, A. nebulosa, A. fragmenta and A. flaccida) are redescribed based on morphological characters. Adultss of all species from northern East Asia treated in the article are illustrated in color with their male and female genitalia. Distribution maps of the species in the Russian Far East are presented, along with an alphabetic checklist of 36 described species.

Впервые для публикации предложены документы, раскрывающие некоторые вопросы набора студентов и слушателей в Восточный институт во Владивостоке в 1899 г. Авторы приводят самые первые правила приёма в востоковедческий вуз, выявленные на страницах «Правительственного вестника» (г. Санкт-Петербург). Два других уникальных исторических источника – рукописные, извлечены из фондов Государственного архива Приморского края. Они представляют несомненную ценность для всех, кто интересуется становлением высшего образования на российском Дальнем Востоке, историческими корнями Дальневосточного федерального университета. Предлагаемые читателям материалы позволяют увидеть, оценить и сопоставить, как проходил набор студентов в прошлом и настоящем. For the first time, the documents revealing some issues of recruiting students and trainees to the Oriental Institute in Vladivostok back in 1899 are offered for publication. The authors cite the very first rules of admission to the higher educational institution for oriental studies. They were identified on the pages of the “Pravitel’stvennyi Vestnik” (Government Gazette) (St. Petersburg). Two other unique historical sources are handwritten, and were retrieved from the funds of the State archive of Primorskiy Krai. They are of great value for anyone who is interested in the development of higher education in the Russian Far East and the historical roots of the Far Eastern Federal University. The materials allow readers to see, evaluate and compare how the recruitment of students took place in the past and present.

Abstract For the first time, based on the revision of herbarium collections, the resettlement of alien flora faction species in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) was divided into four stages. Of the 117 invasive species of the Far Eastern Federal District, 47 ones were registered for the first time before the construction of the Trans Siberian railway, i.e. at the turn of the 1900s, 30 - from 1900 to World War II, 29 - from 1940 to 1980, i.e. before the targeted study of the alien flora faction, and 11 - from 1980 to the present. The data on scientists who played a key role in the study of the flora of the Far Eastern Federal District is presented. Seven species are only beginning to invade natural plant communities, 88 species are actively invading natural plant communities and 22 species belong to the “transformers”, which actively invade themselves into natural and seminatural communities, change the physiognomy of ecosystems, disrupt succession links, forming large single-species dense stands and force out and (or) obstruct the reproduction of aborigine species.

Six species are recorded from Russia for the first time. Paracladopelma simantodeea Sasa et al. 1998 is presented as a junior synonym of Paracladopelma furudoprimum Sasa & Arakawa. A key for males of 12 Far Eastern species of Paracladopelma is given.

Subject. The article addresses the tax liabilities of taxpayers registered in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, which should be paid to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation, as well as the factors of the said debt growth. Objectives. Our aim is to assess the level of tax debt of regions of the Russian Far East and identify the correlation between the factors and the amount of tax debt. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, and the correlation and regression analysis. Results. We analyzed the level of tax debt for the entire Far Eastern Federal District and by region, identified factors affecting the growth of tax debt therein. The paper assesses the structure of tax debt by type of taxes and activity of debtors. The unveiled factors may help control changes in the size of tax debt in the Russian Far East and develop effective measures to improve the debt collection. Conclusions. The study shows that there is an increase in the tax debt in the regions of the Russian Far East, in the VAT in particular. The factor analysis revealed that the volume of sales of wholesale enterprises, investment in fixed capital, the consumer price index have the largest impact on the amount of tax debt.

The first lichenological inventory in Koryakia has resulted in the list of 315 species reported from Parapolsky Dale, within and in vicinities of the Koryak State Reserve. Altogether 46 species are published from the Kamchatka Territory for the first time, including Lecanographa grumulosa new to Russia, East Asia and Beringia; Cercidospora trypetheliza, Lecania dubitans, Pertusaria borealis, Piccolia ochrophora, Protoparmelia cupreobadia, Rimularia badioatra and Strangospora moriformis new to Russian Far East; Abrothallus bertianus, Cladonia strepsilis, Physciella melanchra, Rimularia badioatra, Sclerococcum parasiticum, Sphinctrina leucopoda and Strangospora moriformis new to Beringia. The lichen diversity of the study area is relatively poor due to natural reasons. Comparison with neighboring regions (Kamchatka Peninsula, Chukotka, Magadan Region, Yakutia and Alaska) shows that the lichen flora of Parapolsky Dale contains almost no specific species. The majority of the species recorded here are also known from neighboring regions, especially Alaska and Kamchatka Peninsula.
