Nymphs of fossil grylloblattid insects are revised. Newly described taxa are Lemmatonympha gracilissima gen. et sp. nov. and Kaltanympha vorcutensis sp. nov. from the Verkhne-Syr'yaginsk locality ...(Ufimian, Lek- Vorkuta Formation in the Vorkuta Coal Basin), genera Sylvalitoralis gen. nov. and Tshebardanympha gen. nov. from the Tshekarda locality (Kungurian, Koshelevka Formation, Middle Urals), Tataronympha kamensis gen. et sp. nov. from the Tikhie Gory locality (Lower Kazanian, linguloid beds of the Baitugan Formation, Tatarstan), and Kaltanympha ornata sp. nov. from the Kerbo locality (Upper Tatarian, lower part of the Degali Formation, Evenki Autonomous Region). Liomopterites (?) gracilis Sharov, 1961 from Lower Kazanian deposits of the Kuznetsk Formation in the Kuznetsk Basin is transferred to the genus Kaltanympha Sharov, 1961; Permonympha arcuata Sharov, 1957 from the same locality is synonymized under Permonympha gracile Sharov, 1957; the nymph described from the Karatau locality (Upper Jurassic, Karabastau Formation in southern Kazakhstan) as Blattogryllus karatavicus Rasnitsyn, 1976 is excluded from grylloblattids. Keys to extinct grylloblattid nymphs are provided.
Buried Late Holocene soils have been found in sandy deposits within the eastern part of the Bol’shezemel’skaya tundra in the Vorkuta River basin. The morphology of their profiles and the ...physicochemical characteristics of these soils make it possible to classify them as soddy podzols. In the upper part of the sandy deposits exposed to the surface, the profiles of recent podburs with a weakly differentiated profile have been formed.
The chemical composition of lake sediments has been studied within the framework of TUNDRA International Project. Air-borne pollution by Vorkuta industrial enterprises has been found to promote an ...increase in the concentration of heavy (Hg, Cd, Pb, As), alkaline, and alkaline-earth metals in the lake sediments. Increased concentrations of metals have also been observed in the lake sediments accumulated in the 1930s. A certain time lag was found to exist between the changes in the above-mentioned metal concentrations in the lake sediments, on the one hand, and the dynamics of coal production by Vorkuta coal mines, on the other hand.
This chapter examines the growth of the Vorkuta camp complex from the first discovery of coal in the summer of 1930 until 1942, when the nominal completion of a rail line linking Vorkuta to Moscow ...made it an important part of the Soviet home front in the Second World War. It examines how Vorkuta was transformed over the course of the 1930s from a project of internal colonization into a camp for the Soviet Union's most dangerous prisoners. By the beginning of the war, Vorkutlag had become one of the Soviet Union's largest camp complexes, yet was threatened by mass starvation.
