Transport and Communications Russian geography - Regions of Russia Russia is a country about 1.8 times the size of the US occupying the vast area between Europe and the North Pacific Ocean. It has an area of 10, 672,000 sq. miles (17,075,200 sq.km) and a population of almost 150 million people. Occupying a large territory in Europe and Asia Russia is spread over all climatic zones except tropical. It takes over 8 hours by plane to reach from Moscow to Vladivostok on the Pacific coast. West of the Ural mountains from the Black Sea in the South to the Arctic Ocean lies a broad plain with low hills where the historical core of the Russian nation is located. East of the Urals from the border with Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia to the Arctic coast lies Siberia - a scarcely populated area covered by coniferous forest, swamps and tundra in the north and mountainous terrain in the south. The country possesses a wide array of natural resources including major deposits of oil, coal, natural gas, many strategic minerals, diamonds and timber. The economic zone along the 23,533 mile (37,653 km) long coastline (Arctic and Pacific Oceans, Baltic, Black and Caspian Seas) holds significant reserves of fish and oil and natural gas on the sea shelf. Most of the country has a so called harsh continental climate characterized by a big difference between summer and winter temperatures (it gets indeed very cold in Siberia during winter, but it is also very hot in the summer). Russia's geographical location presents a significant obstacle to development - dry or cold climate, terrain, distance and remote location from major sea lanes, all these factors contribute to the situation when large parts of the country have almost no population and development. Russia has only 8% of arable land.

Russian Geography From Our Father's Harvest by Chaim Freedman The exact location of the Jewish Agricultural colonies in the Yekaterinoslav Government was a particular problem prior to the publication of the Our Father’s Harvest since they could not be identified on any map available at the time, A map was drafted based on the recollections of William Komesaroff of Melbourne as to the relative alignment of the colonies and the time required to travel by wagon between them This map was confirmed with minor adjustments by Rokhel Luban. The map was verified upon the discovery of Jewish Agriculturists on the Russian Steppes (Israel 1965) which contained a map of all the colonies during the Soviet period, although no source was quoted. In 1983 a detailed large scale map was discovered in the library of the University of Texas by Michoel Ronn whose family came from the region. This map was printed in 1955 in the USA by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and was based on various Soviet maps as well as aerial intelligence photography. Most of the colonies were readily identifiable and there was a fairly close correlation with the map I Our Father’s Harvest. The basic adjustment required was to move the northern block of colonies (the Novozlatopol group) about ten miles southwest. The large village of Gulyai Polye was thus to be located due west of Novozlatopol and directly north of Pologi, which was about tem iles further west than shown. Kolonya Mesiritch (Mezhirich) was located Southeast of Gulyai Polye, due west of Krasnoselka. Nechaevka and Sladkovodnaya were to be interchanged.

Russian Geography Practicum Finds Rich Soil and Hopeful People Last summer, within a matter of days, every stereotypical image of Russia that students Tom Kavanaugh and Andy Kersey had gathered over the years exploded before their eyes. They expected the weather and the people to be cold and hard. Instead, "everybody was really nice," said Kavanaugh. "They went out of their way to help. If they could speak English, they did. If you dropped something, someone would pick it up." "I expected to freeze," said Kersey. "I thought everybody would be wearing fur hats, even though it was June. But it was warm, and things were green, almost like the Southwest Virginia woods." Kavanaugh and Kersey were part of a geography field practicum directed by the Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences. RU geography faculty members Susan Woodward and Lori Barfield accompanied six students on the trip. The group spent four days in Moscow for an introduction to Russian culture and history, then traveled by train to Kursk, a provincial city 300 miles south of Moscow. Housed at the Kursk Biosphere Research Station, they examined the natural landscape of the forest-steppe. They collected and analyzed data on the region's chernozem soilsone of the most naturally fertile soil types in the worldand on microclimatic conditions and vegetation. A second major field project involved a study of Russian food production through a comparison of kitchen gardens, family farms and state farms. Students mapped fields and interviewed farmers as to their economic status.

For example, some Universities had renamed their Department of Geography which named Urban and Environmental Science, Land and Ocean Science, Resource and Environmental Science and so on. To be sure, Meteorology, Hydrology, Pedology, Qnaternary Geology, Land Science, Ecology, Environmemtal Science, Regional Economics and Sustainable Development Work have made parts or overall to cover Geography once by once. Even Historical Geography has been belonged to History. Geography has faced to disintegration. In the world, Europe and America, their geography leid particular stress on humanities.
