<p>The soil microbiome is critical to the restoration of soils , destroyed by human activity. The dynamics of changes in the soil microbiome was investigated from the two overgrown gravel-sand quarry dumps in the North Caucasus (Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia). Samples were taken in the quarries of contrasting soil types (Calcareous Chernozem and Umbric Gleyic soils) under the various types of reclamation. Samples were taken from 10 points from a quarry with meadow soil and from 11 points from the Chernozem. The 16S ssu gene libraries were sequenced from soil DNA.The difference in microbiomes between the control points and the points where the soil is restored was statistically significant. The disturbed Gleyic soil is characterized by an increase in the representatives of Acidobacteria, for Chernozem of the genera <em>Niastella</em>, <em>Ramlibacter</em>, <em>Microvirga</em>. On the Umbric  Gleyic soil without reclamation, significant heterogeneity was shown, in contrast to Chernozem with different types of reclamation. In different soil types, the response of the soil microbiome to soil restoration was significantly different, which in turn should influence the choice of the strategy for the restoration of anthropogenically diturbed soils.</p>

Mollusk Shell

The variability of conchiological characters of the shell of the terrestrial mollusk Chondrula tridens (Müller 1774) from 4 different types of landscapes of the Ulyanovsk region was studied. Analysis of elementary characters, proportions and wellhead armament of shell structures demonstrates a significant heterogeneity of the species. The large size of the shell of the snails is explained by an increase in the growth period due to an increase in temperature and humidity in the conditions of the north-western and southern landscapes of the Ulyanovsk region, as well as in the urbanized environment. Reducing the height of the shell, increasing roundness and better development of the mouth teeth of mollusks living in the chalk steppe reflects their adaptability to the conditions of more xerothermic landscapes, and also determines the position of the shell in space.

Potential Customers

The article examines the problems associated with the stagnation in the field of tourism in Russia. The author notes that our country has great potential, which is not almost realized. It is necessary to refocus on the development of new tourist destinations, create a worthy hotel infrastructure, find new ways to attract tourists. At the present stage there is wealth of experience in the implementation of tourism programs taking into account the interests and wishes of potential customers. Different types of excursion products will allow guiding by the interests of a specific tourist and will make it possible to attract any audience. The author invites to consider an effective international experience in this area and to adapt it to Russian conditions. The potential of Russian regions provides an opportunity to implement the ideas of different excursions. North Caucasus is unique, one-of-a-kind, object that has unlimited opportunities for tourism development. The mountain landscape is promising for the development of extreme tourism products, and the use of balneal resources of the region will attract amateurs of health tourism. Particular attention should be paid to the preparation of informative, historical and archeological tours. National specifics of the North Caucasian republics allow to create ethnographic excursions. The North Caucasus and the whole Southern Federal District have a huge potential for tourism development, which allows to count on attracting domestic and, in the future, foreign tourists. The author suggests that the tourism development should be based on the expansion of the tourism range, and notes that the different types of tourism can be successfully realized in Russia. The article analyzes the experience of foreign countries and provides statistics confirming the hypothesis.

Traditional Patterns

This article explores the works of the famous Kabardian fashion designer Madina Alisagovna Hatsukova, whose costumes are worn by the guards of the King of Jordan, artists of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia, prominent statesmen of the Chechen Republic, popular singers and musicians, and numerous ladies for their wedding ceremonies. The article represents a panoramic overview of the works of Madina Hatsukova, taking into account all aspects of interest of the designer. Description is given to various types of activity of the fashion designer – from hand embroidery and lace weaving to creating sewing patterns and scientific research on decoding of the ornaments in the museum samples of ancient costumes. This publication is inspired by the Madina Hatsukova’s personal exhibition “Princess of the Sun”, held in the North Caucasus branch of the State Museum of Oriental Art in Maykop in September-October 2021. The novelty of this article consists in comprehensive analysis of the works of Madina Hatsukova, which are widely known in North Caucasus and not so much to the Russians audience interested in modern ethnic costume. Although Madina’s works are intentionally limited to the traditional patterns and configuration, she experiments with different types of fabrics, their combinations and color solutions. National costume for a symbol of cultural revival, rather than a symbol of the past; it is the symbol of ethnic identification. Madina Hatsukova contributes to high symbolic load of the traditional costume, forms empathy of not only Circassians, but the entire multicultural population of the Russian Federation.

The Relationship

This article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of symbolic images of stone and mountains in the folklore and literatures of the peoples of the North Caucasus and Abkhazia. The objects of analysis are myths, a heroic epic about the sledges shared by a number of Caucasian peoples, poetry by K. Mechiev, K. Kuliev, A. Keshokov, and R. Gamzatov, novels by B. Shinkuba (Dissected Stone) and A. Gogua (Nimbus). As shown in the article, the images of stone and mountains in each literature function differently within the structure of a literary text, depending on the author’s intention. At the same time, these images are initially closely connected with history, life, mythology, folklore of the people, and with thousand-year historical and spiritual experience of mountaineers. The process of creating a literary image, whose roots go deep into national history and culture, reflects the interaction of different types of thinking — historical, mythological, anthropological, and literary; the nature of the relationship and the dialogue of literature with folklore, historiography, and ethnography speak about the role of this interdisciplinary dialogue in the development of literature; this way, we can also speak of literary or artistic historicism which differs from historicism in historiography or philosophy of history.

The work is based on field research and interpretation of aerial photographs covering typical areas of the Peredovoy ridge. The morphostructure of the Peredovoy ridge is located between the morphostructures of the Glavny ridge in the south and the North Jurassic depression in the north. The main features of the study area are mountainous relief in combination with a complex and contrasting composition of the lithogenic base, different types of altitudinal zonation, which create a high species diversity of biota. Compilation of new and moderate exploitation of existing tourist complexes of the North Caucasus is impossible without the help of new detailed landscape maps. Using the original published materials and his own experience, the author of the study proposes an improved methodology for landscape mapping for mountain areas using the interpre-tation of aerial photographs, covering the characteristic areas of the Peredovoy ridge. The obtained data and conclusions can be used for geoecological purposes, in monitoring the natural environment, to optimize the use of natural resources, as well as in planning the recreational and mining-industrial development of the high-mountain belt of the Peredovoy ridge and similar morphostructures.

Проведен анализ результатов генетико-эпидемиологических исследований наследственных болезней (НБ) в 14 регионах европейской части России, Юга России, Северного Кавказа, Волго-Уральского региона с суммарной численностью обследованного населения около 4 млн чел. Изучены пространственная изменчивость и генетическая гетерогенность НБ у населения различных регионов и в полиэтнических популяциях РФ. Выделены частые НБ, характерные как для всего населения конкретных регионов, так и заболевания, специфичные для отдельных этносов. Выявлена гетерогенность НБ в популяциях и этносах, как аллельная, так и локусная. Зарегистрированы ранее не описанные НБ, эндемичные для конкретных этносов. Показано, что в популяциях с различной этнической экстракцией каждый народ в своем генофонде сохранил специфический спектр, распространенность и генетическую природу НБ. Проведенный анализ позволил подойти к решению фундаментальной проблемы медицинской генетики - эволюции НБ в различных популяциях и этнических группах. The results of genetic and epidemiological studies of hereditary diseases (HD) in 14 regions of the European part of Russia, the South of Russia, the North Caucasus, the Volga-Ural region, with a total population of about 4 million people surveyed were analyzed. Spatial variability and genetic heterogeneity of HD in the population of different regions and in multi-ethnic populations of Russia have been studied. Frequent HD that are typical for the entire population of specific regions, as well as diseases specific to individual ethnic groups were identified. Significant heterogeneity of populations and ethnic groups, both allelic and locus, has been detected. Novel previously undescribed HD which are endemic for specific ethnic groups have been registered. It was shown that in populations with different ethnic extraction each ethnic group in its gene pool has preserved specific spectrum, prevalence and genetic nature of HD. Complex multifaceted analysis allowed us to approach the fundamental problem of medical genetics - the evolution of HD in different populations and ethnic groups.
