5 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
6 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY Ural Mountains This 1,552 mile mountain range separates Europe and Asia making Russia one of the world's few countries that lies on two continents. 68% of the Urals lie in Russia while the other 32% are in Kazakhstan. These mountains are rich in natural resources. Sections of the Urals are completely forested and there are large deposits of oil. The Urals are well known for the mining industry, making Russia one of the most mineral rich countries in the world. Gold, silver, platinum, iron, and topaz are just a few of the numerous minerals that are mined here. Ob River The Ob River is one of the few Russian Rivers that links the interior of Russia with the outside oceans. This makes the Ob a very important trade route and means for Russia to transport goods to the coast and beyond. The fishing industry thrives since the Ob has over 50 varieties of fish of which 26 are white fish (great for eating). This river is also an important source of irrigation, drinking water, and hydroelectric energy. However, the Ob does freeze over approximately one-half of the year, making it inaccessible. Volga River The Volga is the longest and largest river in Europe (2,294 miles) and is the national river of Russia. The Volga is used as a major transportation, tourism, and trade route, carrying 2/3 of Russia s inland water traffic. The banks of the river are lined with 900 ports and 550 industrial docks. The Volga also supports about 70 species of fish, around half of which have commercial value - these include the Caspian roach, herring, pike, and sturgeon. However, the Volga also sufferers from industrial pollution and over-irrigation has reduced its depth. Black Sea - Throughout history, many groups and countries have fought to control the Black Sea as it connects to the Mediterranean Sea and thus to the Atlantic Ocean. The Black Sea is known for its sturgeon - the caviar from it is one of the finest in the world. As it provides warm water ports, it is a key outlet for the products of the Eurasian countries, giving it special importance in regional commerce. Without Black Sea access, many Eurasian countries would not have year- round access for imports and exports and would be cut off from trade and travel. Siberia Siberia makes up about 75% of Russia's land (it is an area larger than Canada). It has tremendous natural resources, with huge deposits of oil, gas, and minerals and vast amounts of timber. In the northern parts of Siberia, the ground is permanently frozen (permafrost). Siberia does have three major rivers, but they are frozen over sixnine months out of the year. On of Siberia s rivers, the Amur, flows into Lake Baikal, the world s largest freshwater lake which holding 1/5 of the total freshwater. Baltic Sea Historically, the Baltic Sea has been a strategic body of water to control since it connects, through other bodies of water, to the Atlantic Ocean. Today it acts as a major trade route for exporting Russian oil and is the center of the Russian shipbuilding industry. On average, 45% of the Baltic Sea is covered with ice affecting trade and transportation. Aral Sea The Aral Sea is a saltwater island lake with no outlets. It has traditionally played a vital role in the Eurasian cotton industry and Uzbekistan is one of the world s top producers of cotton today. The Soviet Union diverted two rivers that fed into the Aral Sea to irrigate the desert and produce cotton, but due to those rivers being overused for irrigation, the Aral Sea is now 10% of the size it originally was. In addition, much of the plant and aquatic life has died off due to the increased salinity. Arctic Ocean - It is the smallest of the five world oceans. Russia claimed all ocean floor 350 miles off their coast under the Arctic Ocean as their own. Geological tests (tests on the rocks) have suggested that the sea floor is very energy rich with large mineral, oil, and natural gas deposits. However, much of this ocean is covered over in ice most of the year. Thus, it would be very costly to harvest the oil and there could be ecological effects.

9 RUSSIAN LEADERS ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM TOTALITARIAN AUTHORITARIAN DEMOCRATIC LEADER IVAN THE TERRIBLE PETER THE GREAT CATHERINE THE GREAT SUMMARY Were does the Russian Leader fit on the political spectrum? SUPPORTING DETAILS List two details about the leader that supports your reasoning. NICHOLAS II VLADIMIR LENIN JOSEPH STALIN
10 PUTIN ON THE ROPES Barry, Ellen, New York Times Upfront (Jan 2, 2012) PURPOSE FOR READING: How did Vladimir Putin gain power? Is he in danger of losing it? Vladimir Putin President, Prime Minister, President, ? The week after parliamentary elections that many said were riddled with fraud, tens of thousands of Russians took to the streets of Moscow. They shouted, "Putin is a thief!" and "Russia without Putin!" and forced the Kremlin to confront a level of public discontent that hasn't been seen in Russia since the 1990s. PREDICTION: Why might Putin be losing the support of the Russian people? VOCABULARY: Fraud Rebuke Volatility Upheaval Consolidating Protégé The December protests broadcasted live to the Web by young demonstrators holding ipads over their heads came the week after Vladimir Putin's political party, United Russia, suffered major losses in the parliamentary elections to the Russian Duma. There were widespread allegations and videos on YouTube of ballot boxes being stuffed. In fact, United Russia's losses might have been even worse, if not for the fraud. It was a stunning rebuke for Putin, who has led Russia for the last 12 years, first as president and then as prime minister. The protest came two months after Putin announced that he would seek the presidency once again in elections in March. A victory could mean another 12 years in power, giving him a reign approaching that of Joseph Stalin, the brutal Communist dictator who ruled the Soviet Union from 1922 to Putin has said that Russia needs him because the nation is entering a period of dangerous volatility that requires a steady hand. But fewer and fewer Russians seem to be buying that argument. "Something has changed," says Fiona Hill of the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. "The biggest problem is that people have gotten fed up." Autocratic Rule Russia has a long history of autocratic rule, so Western style democracy isn't necessarily a natural fit. Powerful czars ruled the nation until the Russian Revolution in For most of the 20th century, the Soviet Union was a Communist dictatorship and America's primary adversary during the Cold War. The years that followed the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union and the introduction of democracy to Russia were marked by a sense of chaos and economic upheaval. When Putin a former head of the KGB, the Soviet spy agency took over in 1999, most Russians were relieved to have a strong leader.
11 Translation: No Vote Once in charge, President Putin began consolidating power in the executive branch. In 2004, he eliminated elections for key governors and mayors; now those positions are filled with appointees loyal to the Kremlin. He also tightened controls over the press in an effort to eliminate dissent. (Several journalists who've criticized the government have been mysteriously beaten or killed.) But with the economy thriving, a lot of Russians shrugged at die loss of some democratic freedoms. Russia is die world's largest producer of oil, and skyrocketing oil prices fueled me boom. Foreign investment soared. Consumer goods became widely available, and millions of Russians, part of a growing middle class, could afford them. So when the Russian constitution barred Putin from seeking a third term as president in 2008, few complained when he engineered a way to remain in power by making his protégé, Dmitri Medvedev, president and getting himself named prime minister. Now, however, it seems the glow is wearing off. Economic growth has slowed, and 20 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, many middle class Russians, who had hoped to be part of a modernizing society, feel themselves being tugged backward. Ironically, most of those protesting in December in Moscow and other cities were middle class Russians who have prospered under Putin. "You see all these people who are well dressed and earn a good salary going out onto the streets... and saying, 'No more,'" says Yana Larionova, 26. "That's when you know you need a change." In fact, authoritarian leaders whose economic policies are effective often become victims of their own success: As people become wealthier, they're more likely to demand greater political freedoms. Blaming the U.S. FAST FACT Harkening back to the days of the Cold War, Putin blamed U.S. Secretary of As a young man, Putin worked State Hillary Clinton for stirring up the election protests by questioning the for the Soviet Union s legitimacy of the vote. "The Russian people, like people everywhere, intelligence agency, the KGB, as deserve the right to have their voices heard and their votes counted," an undercover agent in East Germany. Clinton said. The tension with Putin comes after the Obama administration has tried to "reset" relations with its old Cold War enemy, which remains a critical partner for the U.S. on issues like global terrorism and Iran's nuclear program. For Putin, what at first seemed like an easy path to win back his old job now looks like a more challenging contest in which he will have to convince Russians he still has their best interests at heart. Two prominent Russians a former finance minister and Mikhail Prokhorov, a billionaire who owns the New Jersey Nets basketball team have announced plans to challenge him for the presidency. However things play out over the next few months, the situation seems to have changed in the wake of the December protests. Many Russians were amazed at the sight of throngs of protesters more than 40,000 in Moscow alone making their voices heard on the streets near the Kremlin. "Unfortunately, a civilized rally in our country is a rare thing so far," says Oksana, 18, a student from Kirov who would not give her last name. "But now I see that it's possible."
