Development Here you are: Main Kyrgyzstan Towns and Regions Capital /History of the city Forum The Man's first appearance on the modern city's territory dates back to hoary antiquity. The finds of stone implements by Alamedin hydroelectric power station suggest that primitive people dwelled in Bishkek neighborhood in 5th-4th millennia BC. The Bronze Age tribes settled on the modern city's territory in late 2nd millennium BC. They were engaged in graziery, agriculture, pottery and metallurgy. With the advent of Iron Age tribal alliances appear on Kyrgyzstan's territory: saki (7th-3rd centuries BC) and usun' (3rd century BC-5th century AD). Their economy based on nomadic graziery. Various trades were well developed. Saki and usun' tribes settled on Alamedin and Ala-Archa riversides as well this is testified by tumuli conserved until recently within the city and its vicinity. The usun' knew agriculture well that is testified by the remnants of settlements found in different places of Chui valley including those by Bishkek. Nomadic and settled agricultural population dwelled in Alamedin and Ala-Archa river basins in Middle Ages. Tumuli and stone sculptures were the nomadic Turks' monuments. Settled population resided in towns. The so-called Pishpek fort (7th-12th centuries AD) was one of the largest medieval towns; it occupied an area of about 25-30 sq.km (Pishpek railway station and former Klyuchevoye and Kyzyl-Asker villages) and had complex layout and a developed fortification system.

A Global View Of The Russian Far East Siberia, often confused with the russian Far East, borders the region of its approximately 8 million population living in cities and small towns largely in http://www.traveleastrussia.com/overview.html
Extractions: Overview The Russian Far East is on the Pacific rim, north of China and to the west and north of Japan. The region covers an area two-thirds the size of Canada and has a coastline extending 6,000 miles from the Arctic Circle to the Sea of Japan. Siberia, often confused with the Russian Far East, borders the region to the west some 1500 miles from the Pacific. The region is lightly populated with 70% of its approximately 8 million population living in cities and small towns largely in the southeast. The region comprises ten relatively independent geopolitical subregions: the Amur Oblast, the Chukotka Autonomous Region, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, the Kamchatka Oblast, the Khabarovski Krai, the Koryak Republic, the Magadan Oblast, the Primorski Krai, the Sakhalin Oblast and the Republic of Yakutia. The principle cities are the port of Vladivostok in the far south; Khabarovsk north of Vladivostok and approximately 100 miles inland; the town of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on Sakhalin Island; the port of Magadan on the mainland opposite the Kamchatka Peninsula; the port of Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka peninsula and the port of Anadyr in the far north. The region contains much of the underdeveloped natural resources of Russia and unsurpassed scenic beauty. The taiga (or forest) in the south-east region contains a great variety of wildlife, including the Siberian Tiger, and over 250 species of trees and bushes. The ocean between Sakhalin Island and the Kamchatka Peninsula offers one of the wealthiest fishing grounds in the world. The Kamchatka Peninsula is the home of some 160 volcanoes and has a unique geyser valley. Snow conditions on Sakhalin are so good that the 1972 Soviet Olympic training facility was located there and it is still being used by Sakhalin skiers.

Small Business Tips Summer 1998: BITTER HARVEST: The urbanization of the planet Russiaâs bitter farmers stay put Legally and economically, urban areas are off limits By Preston Mendenhall, Dmirti Surnin and Alexei Alexandroff MSNBC INKINO, Siberia, August 7, 1998 - As the vast and unmanageable land it is, Russia would seem ripe for massive urban migration. A handful of large cities suck up almost all post-Soviet investment in the country, leaving nothing for rural regions. Life on the farm â and in Russiaâs smaller cities and villages â is miserable and desolate, with low or no salaries and poor living conditions. Entire local economies disappear as industries fail to keep pace with the emerging market economy. advertisement Yet in a time of economic desperation, when workers are owed months - and sometimes years - of unpaid wages, Russiaâs rural population has largely stayed put. The dumb luck of Russiaâs market reformers has made it nearly impossible, legally and economically, for the rural population to migrate to booming urban areas. Millions of rural Russians living in far-flung regions canât even afford the bus fare to the nearest city, let alone find housing and jobs in an economy that is not growing.

Extractions: JDC was allowed to return to Russia, in what was then still the Soviet Union, in 1988. In city after city, there were Jews who longed to reconnect with their Jewish heritage, but lacked even the most basic knowledge of Jewish culture, religion, history or community life. They were the product of seven decades of an enforced atheism that had all but destroyed Jewish communal life, and they lacked the training, skills and funds to open Jewish schools and community centers or establish and operate communal welfare services. The latter were increasingly needed as the steep gyrations and eventual collapse of the Russian economy fell with particular harshness on the older generations and ultimately cast into poverty hundreds of thousands of lonely, elderly Jews. Demographics Though the largest concentrations of Jews in what is now called Russia, or the Russian Federation, can be found in St. Petersburg and Moscow, there are also hundreds of thousands of Jews scattered across Russias nine time zones. In the decade following the lifting of emigration restrictions, more than 1 million Jews from the former Soviet Union (FSU) chose to make

It is crucial for European cities to coordinate and bundle their interests if they are to make their voice heard among the institutions in Brussels and have an influence on European policy. Furthermore, active participation allows members to quickly find out about local authority solutions that have proven themselves as ways to implement the Commission's policies. This in turn can lead to synergistic benefits.

The citys biggest enterprise is its aluminum factory, but is also home to a number of other, smaller businesses, such as a furniture factory, a milk factory and a mixed-fodder factory. The number of workers at these factories has fallen dramatically over the last ten years. Many residents have started up their own businesses. The number of people working in small or medium-sized enterprises doubled each year from 1993 to 1995. At the same time, there was not a single organization in the city that specialized in consulting services for new entrepreneurs, training, or finance. There were no organizations working to develop small and medium-sized business in the region, in spite of the clear need for these services.
