The Chulyshman Upland is a big mountain structure at the boundary between the Altai and West Sayan mountain ranges. It is composed mostly of metamorphic rocks of the greenschist, epidote-amphibolite, and amphibolite facies as well as several large granitoid massifs. The upland stretches for 150 km to the northwest and is ≤50 km in width. The main divides are flattened and are almost 3000 m (or, seldom, slightly more) in height. The southwestern and northeastern boundaries of the upland are formed by recent dextral strike-slip faults, and the northwestern and southeastern boundaries, by reverse faults. Neotectonic structures of lower rank divide the uplift into four mountain massifs similar in morphology and size; the mountain masses, in turn, are divided into altitude stages. Recent E-W trending faults are reverse, whereas N-S trending faults are normal. Horizontal displacements along the dextral strike-slip faults are >2000 m, while vertical displacements along the reverse and normal faults are within 150-500 m. There is no contemporary glaciation on the upland. In the Pleistocene, the upper stage of the relief was occupied by ice sheets, which left numerous traces of exaration. The middle stage was a transit zone for the outlet tongues of ice sheets; here, moraine deposits cover the bottoms and slopes of valleys. The lower stage was a zone of moraine accumulation in the Pleistocene. In the Holocene, neotectonic activity in the area was expressed as numerous earthquakes, which have left traces in the form of rock slides at the base of 20% of the extension of the sides of glacial valleys and seismogenic trenches 80 to 2300 m in length. Studies have revealed a pleistoseist zone (50°37′10″ N; 88°51′08″ E) from a recent (about 200-300 years ago) catastrophic earthquake.

The performed 40Ar/39Ar geochronological studies yielded the first reliable age of trachyandesites of the Mogot volcanic field (115 ± 3 Ma), which, together with the age of trachyandesites of the Bomnak volcanic field (117 ± 1 Ma), gives ground to recognize a new stage (117-115 Ma) of evolution of the Stanovoi volcanoplutonic belt superposed on the igneous and metamorphic complexes of the Dzhugdzhur-Stanovoi superterrane of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and Stanovoi structural suture. The trachyandesites of the Mogot volcanic field are similar in geochemical features to adakites. Their parental melts resulted from the transformation of Precambrian continental crust under postcollisional extension after the formation of the Mongolo-Okhotsk orogen or under sliding along the boundary between the North Asian craton and the Amur microcontinent.

A Late Cretaceous dismembered ophiolite unit in the south of Kahramanmaraş belongs to the Peri-Arabian ophiolite belt in southern Turkey. The ophiloitic rocks include, from bottom to top, metamorphic sole (plagioclase-amphibole schist and plagioclase amphibolite), mantle tectonites (serpentinized dunite and harzburgite), ultramafic cumulates (mainly websterite), mafic cumulates (olivine gabbro, gabbro, and olivine gabbronorite), and isotropic gabbros (olivine gabbronorite). The whole-rock geochemistry of the cumulates suggests that they can mainly be classified as Low-Ti ophiolite and cumulate rocks derived from an island-arc tholeiitic magma source. Chondrite-normalized REE and N-MORB-normalized multielement patterns and tectonomagmatic discrimination diagrams show that fractional crystallization was important during the formation of the cumulate rocks. The presence of highly magnesian olivines (Fo_78.24-81.89), clinopyroxenes (Mg#_71.46-85.82), and orthopyroxenes (Mg#_62.63-87.18) as well as highly calcic plagioclases (An_81.88-97.40) in the mafic cumulates indicates a subduction-related tectonic environment. The geochemical, petrographical, and field data suggest that the ophiolitic rocks in the studied region formed in a suprasubduction zone environment in the southern branch of Neotethys in the Late Cretaceous.

The platinum-group minerals (PGM) in placer deposits provide important information on the types of their primary source rocks and ores and formation and alteration conditions. Different characteristics of minerals can be determined by a set of conventional and modern in situ analytical techniques (scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA)). A study of PGM from placers of southern Siberia (Kuznetsk Alatau, Gornaya Shoria, and Salair Ridge) shows that the morphology and composition of PGM grains, the texture, morphology, and composition of silicate, oxide, and intermetallic microinclusions, and the type of mineral alteration can serve as efficient indicators of the primary sources of PGM. The widespread rock associations in the Kuznetsk Alatau, Gornaya Shoria, and Salair Ridge, the compositions of PGM and microinclusions in them, and the dominant mineral assemblages testify to several possible primary sources of PGE mineralization: (1) Uralian-Alaskan-type intrusions; (2) ophiolite associations, including those formed in a subduction zone; (3) ultramafic alkaline massifs; and, probably, (4) rocks of the picrite-basalt association. The preservation of poorly rounded and unrounded PGM grains in many of the studied placers of the Altai-Sayan Folded Area (ASFA) suggests a short transport from their primary source.

This article is focused on the reception of the utopian legends, particularly the legend of Kitezh, in the Ural-Siberian Paterik (historical and hagiographical work of Old Believers, created in the 1940-1990s in some taiga sketes of the Urals and Siberia). The legends about the vanished holy places are based on the stories of eye-witnesses capturing historical realities. In particular, these narratives reflect the theme of repressions of the authorities against the Old Belief. Several story lines in the Ural-Siberian Paterik allow to trace the links between the Early Byzantine, Old Russian and Early Old Belief traditions of utopias. These legends are interpreted by local scribes from the perspective of medieval literature. The stories from the Old Russian manuscripts are the nearest context for the legends in the Ural-Siberian Paterik. It is shown that the legend of Kitezh, its archic prototypes, as well as its secondary Old Belief versions preserving the “trace” of this legend represent the successive elements of the same lineage. This most recent monument of the traditional book culture reflects all basic motives of the Kitezh legend. Story lines from the Ural-Siberian Paterik are typologically close to the legend of Kitezh and represent a particular case of the Old Believers Utopia. The author considers this Utopia as a manifestation of mythopoetic thought; shows that the Old Believers Utopia represents the popular perception of the Christian Ideal. This perception is inseparably linked with eschatological beliefs (particularly with the doctrine of salvation in «the end times») and with a complex of traditional mythologemes and archetypal concepts which are inherent to the national popular and religious culture. It is also necessary to take into account the links between the Old Belief and the main directions of Russian history, with utopian ideas being in the core of the public mind in Russia. The author identifies thе function of social utopian legends in the contemporary Old Believer’s spiritual culture. It relates to the idea that holy places hidden by the God from the outside world and exposed only to the righteous men ensure the genuineness of the confession. The author shows that Utopia based on a mythopoetic consciousness serves as a breeding ground providing unity and continuity of the traditional culture of Old Belief. The unique monument of the popular book culture recently discovered by the Siberian archaeographers has been analyzed as a main source of information. Some works of Old Believers have been analyzed for the first time.

The article is devoted to understanding the institutional changes in the children’s segment of the Russian book publishing, basic trends of its development in the 1990s - the first decade of the XXI century. The use of formal logic and comparative-historical methods helped identify cause-and-effect chains in the study of the specificity of the development of children’s book publishing in Siberia and the Far East in connection with the logic and trends of development of Russia’s publishing business at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries. The transformation of the domestic publishing system changed the traditional leaders of children’s book publishing, both in the center of the country and on the periphery; the emergence of many small and medium-sized private and hybrid publishing companies, dependent on market conditions. Over the past two decades in the children’s segment of the country’s book space the specialized book business giants were firmly established. They took up the challenge of supplying children’s books to the regions of Russia. The tradition of monocentrism in the Russian book publishing was only strengthened and hypertrophied during the post-Soviet period. Functions of the specialized children’s publishers in Siberia and the Far East were assumed by the editorial staffs of the children’s journals which published the unique series and single issues of children’s literature. Specific features of the publication of children’s literature at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries included the small number of published children’s books of the regional authors, small editions of adolescent literature, lack of support for the young authors who write for children and youth, lack of committed support for the regional publishers of the children’s literature. All of this identifies challenges impeding the full development of children’s book publishing, which directly affects the development of a regional book space and the availability of children’s literature to the public.

The article characterizes Tulinskoye volost court’s records deposited in the archives. The article provides a detailed description of each variety of this type of sources; outlines the range of causes for legal action as well as the reasons for which the peasants preferred to decide issues that were previously subject to jurisdiction of the village assembly. It is noted that such records do not allow for characterization of all spheres of the peasant community’s life. It is virtually impossible to evaluate the degree of the involvement of various categories of the rural population based on the materials of rural courts. Also, it is difficult to trace, whether the proximity to the city affected the legal views of the peasants. However, the author notes that different aspects of the peasant consciousness were reflected in the materials of Tulinskoye rural court. It is concluded that there was a crisis of confidence among the peasants themselves. Information about the time for execution of the rural courts’ decisions also characterizes the consciousness of the peasants. It varied depending on the time of year. The peasant’s life was closely associated with agricultural activities, in the midst of which all the rest was postponed for later. The delay in execution of court decisions was often due to these factors. Based on the inventories of property and further reports on the bid results the author identifies causes of failure to comply with the court decisions. The information derived from various kinds of receipts makes it possible to estimate the literacy rates in different villages. Appeals to higher authorities are an indicative of the rural courts’ efficiency and the peasants’ satisfaction with verdicts issued by the courts. It is noted that records of the Tulinskoye rural court are one of the important sources on the history of the Siberian peasantry. It is clear that they provide information not only about the organization and functioning of the rural courts, but also about the peasant consciousness.

The article presents the results of research on the ethnic composition of population of Western Siberia. The article aims at showing peculiarities of its transformation under conditions when qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the population of ethnoses had not been influenced by the extreme factors (deportations, starvation, wars, etc.). An important task of historical demography is to study ethnic characteristics of population, including at the macro regional level. The successful handling of this task will greatly determine the assessment of the country’s reproductive and migration potential as well as demographic processes in the near and distant future. Methodology of the work is based on the theory of demographic modernization by A.G.Vishnevsky. The author used a set of statistical mathematical methods along with specific methods of historical research, such as historical genetic and historical comparative. It is revealed that in 1959-1989 ethnoses living primarily in the European Russia were not the only ones affected by demographic modernization. Transformation of traditional life style, industrialization, and urbanization stimulated similar developments among ethnic groups in the Asian part of the RSFSR, Caucasus, and Central Asia. These and other ethnic groups started to play a more significant role in the development of economic potential of Western Siberia due to the increase in migration mobility. At the same time the contribution of other ethnoses, e.g. Baltic peoples, to the demographic development of the economic area under study had been gradually decreasing. The author points to the intensification of assimilative processes that became increasingly visible not only among the Ukrainians and Byelorussians but also among other nationalities. Thus, while the early stage of transition from agrarian to industrial society is marked by a high share of ethnic groups who entered the early phases of demographic transition, the share of other ethnical groups also increases with the modernization of demographic subsystem.

The project «Modern tendencies in actualization of the historical experience of identity formation in the Siberian region» is an innovative trend of social and humanitarian studies. One of the important directions in the study of identity issues is the formation of identities of local scientific communities. Analysis of the formation and transmission of identity as exemplified by the Novosibirsk scientific center contributes to the solution of this problem. The Novosibirsk scientific center is viewed in the context of activities of SB RAS as a phenomenon of the XX century. This is due to the innovative principles of its organization which include the priority development of fundamental research, introduction of research results into practice, the integrated training of scientific personnel, a network of scientific institutions in the Urals. The formation of regional-local identity in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok was a result of creation of the appropriate socio-cultural infrastructure. Important components of academic identity was the freedom of debate, democracy in communication, the pride of the intelligentsia at the uniqueness of the Siberian scientific town. This is reflected in the series «Science in Siberia in faces». It includes dozens of books about famous scientists that determined the scientific image of Siberia. The Museum of SB RAS exhibited such projects as «The History of the Siberian Science in Persons»; «Five decades in the history of SB RAS», «Novosibirsk scientific center: live, work, rest». Approbation of new ways of museum communication in the «Museum of science and technology» has shown their effectiveness in the development of scientific heritage. Collecting and museum activities of the Akademgorodok residents have become one of the forms of manifestation of the regional-local identity. Digital photo archives and personal archives of the scientists provide a promising area of identity research. The analysis of experience of formation and transmission of identity in NSC allows to interpret it as a regional-local phenomenon. It is characterized by the integration into the regional socio-economic space and the global scientific community, a high level of culture of life, intelligence and tolerance of scientists of Akademgorodok.

The presented paper is devoted to the technology of making traditional Buryat bows and the archery competitions of Buryats. The author used the comparative-historical method to study in detail the bow manufacturing techniques in the past and today, to track changes in the use of different production techniques and materials. Thus, the author describes natural materials and requirements imposed by the Buryat masters which define technical characteristics of future bows and arrows. Process of preparation of materials for future bows, production of tendinous and fish glue is considered, the manufacturing techniques of traditional Buryat bows in old times thereby are in detail described. The article investigates the record of innovations in production of the Buryat bows, use of plastic slips, synthetic glue, i.e. those materials that appeared nowadays. Therefore, it delineates changes in manufacturing techniques of modern Buryat bows. In addition, the author compares characteristics of bows and methods of stretching bows made of natural and synthetic materials. The paper describes three types of competitions on archery which were carried out in the past. Today during summer holidays only one type of competition - leather target archery is carried out. This kind of competition is the most spectacular one and, most likely, this is the reason why it remained up to now. The author describes in detail the rules of competition and composition of participants. An interesting aspect of this research also lies in the fact that it has a practical character: the descriptions given in it can quite be put into practice. The article is written on the materials of the author’s field research conducted in 2014 among the Buryats living in the Aginsk Buryat District of Zabaykalsky Krai. Along with these data the archival materials concerning archery and rules of competitions were used.

On the basis of archival documents and periodicals of that time the artile analyzes the process of implementation of the Soviet food policy during 1920-1921 in Northern Kazakhstan which was administratively subordinate to the Siberian revolutionary committee. The author describes activities of food bodies designated to implement the prodrazvyorstka as the main method of the procurement of agricultural products. Under the policy of prodrazvyorstka bread, meat, oil, milk, eggs, vegetables, tobacco were requisitioned fr om the Russian-Ukrainian migrant peasant settlers engaged in agriculture. The Kazakh population with their nomadic cattle breeding filled quotas on meat, the local population was obliged to supply live cattle (cattle, sheep). Besides, they had to fill quotas on animal skins, horsehair, horns and hoofs. The prodrazvyorstka was an impossible task for the local population. Moreover, food bodies were supposed to exchange bread and other food products for manufactured products. However due to the industrial and transportation breakdown the Bolsheviks were unable to exchange commodities properly. In their turn peasants tried to resist the grain requisitioning, concealed bread, refused to accept the money which had no payment capability. The Kazakh population showed resistance by moving to the south wh ere the Soviet power had not been fully established. The prodotryads were the main force in implementing the food policy. Their main methods of work were the violent food seizure and suppression of resistance of people. The author reveals the data on the number of prodotryads sent to various uyezds; characterizes methods of prodotryad members aimed at violent withdrawal of the population’s “surplus” bread, meat and other foods; their moral character and misconduct. The high level of requisition quotas along with methods used by prodotryads provoked the peasantry and Kazakh population to the active resistance which turned into bloody revolt at the beginning of 1921. Besides, the prodrazvyorstka became one of the main causes of famine in 1921-1923.

The article deals with the inflow of migrants to the Kizbass industiral areas in 1921-1923 for the replenishments of labour resources. The study of this aspect of labor migration also implies addressing the issue of voluntary recruitment of workers in the provinces of the European part of the RSFSR, Siberia, the Far Eastern Republic and their organized displacement to Kuzbass for employment purposes. The author used a problem-based and chronological methods which allowed tracing the replenishment process of the workforce in Kuzbass in the early years of national economy reconstruction in Siberia under the conditions of NEP (New Economic Policy). On the basis of archival sources the author examined the progress and results of recruitment campaigns which bolstered the workforce of the Kuzbass coal industry; identified the areas of recruitment of manpower for the Kuzbass industry, the number of migrants and their distribution among the coal areas of the Basin. In 1921, 4396 people migrated from starving districts of the Tatar Republic into the Kuznetsk Basin as part of internal labor migration. The total rate of migrant workers from Kazan was about 31 %, which was due to the fact that during the recruitment of migrants the proportion was set - 1 worker to 3 mouths (to feed) including a worker himself. Recruitment campaigns of 1922 and early 1923 were conducted upon terms of economic accountability and showed a decrease in the number of migrant workers. As a result of recruitment campaigns, more than 5,000 people came to Kuzbass from outside of Siberia. At the end of the recruiting period, migrant workers returned to their places of permanent residence. The author emphasizes that the recruitment of workers allowed temporary filling the vacancies of workers in coal mines, but did not help to transform migrants in Kuzbass into core miners.

The article is devoted to statistical analysis of the factors of differentiation of regions of the Russian Arctic. To achieve the objectives of the study the authors performed the following work: a critical review of analytical materials about the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation; Russian Arctic zoning analysis using multivariate statistical methods; study the factors and causes the differentiation of regional development of the Arctic zone; statistical analysis of socio-economic development of Arctic zone regions for 2005-2014; clustering territorial entities of the Arctic zone in terms of development; definition of industrial growth points of individual regions.

Ways of solve the problems of pricing in crowdsourcing projects in domestic practice are allocated.

The conception of the system specifics of renewal of financial relations of mergers and acquisitions of non-finance corporations is formed. It becomes apparent in the context of mutual dependence of processes of development of subsystems of social and economic system, including financial, productive-economic, social etc. The results of development of the subsystems are expressed in their progressive or regressive renewals. The nature of renewals depends on achievability of synergetic effects by mergers and acquisitions projects; this achievability is defined by the ability of their participants to resist impact of risks. The actuality of revelation of the system nature of riskogenics of reproduction of strategic processes of corporate integration, which is of integral nature, is proved. The nature is formed by complexity of adequate forecasting of finances of corporate integration in view of the whole variety of mutually dependent turbulences of the subsystems of the social and economic system.
