INDEX

News iN RUssiAkazanTatar birds of a feather may flock together

Two largest poultry meat manufac-turers of the republic of Tatarstan Ak Bars holding and Agrosila Group are considering a merger deal, kommersant reports. Ak Bars holding owns Ak Bars Pestretsy and kazanskaya. Agrosila Group owns Chelny Broiler

Most likely the two companies will set up a new entity which will include property from both firms. Each share-holder will be issued new stock based on the total value of the property con-tributed.

If the deal goes through, by 2011 the new jv is expected to produce 150,000 tons of poultry meat a year, which will account for 2-2.5% of Russia’s domestic market.

Experts believe that the decision to consider a merger was prompted by the world financial crisis which has led to a serious lack of liquidity and higher interest rates on bank loans.

iNFRAsTRUCTURewhAt is the PeRM Region?A region of the russian Feder-ation. It’s situated at the joint of eastern outskirts of East European Plain and western flanks of Ural mountains. Formed after integration of the Perm oblast and Komi-Permyak Okrug on December, 1st 2005. Administrative town — PermArea — 160 600 sq. m. Population — 2 730 892 peopleFederal district — Volga re-gionEconomic district — UralsTime zone MSK+2 (UTC+5; UTC+6 in summer)

Riversrivers of the Perm region are related to Kama river basin, the major left tributary of Vol-ga river. There are more than 29 thousand rivers in the re-gion, and their total length is more than 90 thousand kilo-meters. Kama river (1805 km) and its left tributary Chuso-vaya river (592 km) are the only two rivers, accounted as big rivers (e.g. longer than 500 km).

MineralsThe Perm region is rich with various minerals. Oil, gas, coal, mineral salts, gold, dia-monds, chromites and brown

hematite, peat, limestone, precious, semi-precious and cap stones, building materi-als are mined in the region.

FloraThe dominant vegetation in the Perm region is conifer-ous forest. They cover 71% of the region territory. The prevalent breeds of trees are spruce and silver fir. Quantity of deciduous trees increases to the south.

FaunaThere are 62 species of mam-mals (more than 30 of them are marketable ones), more than 270 birds species, 39 fish

species, 6 vermigrade spe-cies and 9 amphibian species. Predator animals are repre-sented with common marten and wolves, widely spread all over the region territory. Also there are ermine and weasel; there are badger and otter in the southern regions and wolverine – in the northern regions. There are bears and lynxes in small number. The most diffuse cloven-hoofed mammal in the region is moose deer. Currently the region is conducting works at acclimatization and breed-ing fur-bearing animals such as beaver, raccoon dog, musk beaver, arctic fox, burrow.

according to the economic plan-

ning department of the city administration, the indices for the first half of 2008 show a pronounced increase in freight carriage un-dertaken by both large and medium motor-ser-vice enterprises. this data proves that perm considerably exceeds other cities of the Volga federal district.

The turn-over of freight for large and medium enterprises has also increased; today it proves to be higher than in other cities of the federal district. Such indices clearly indicate that Perm has already become a large transportation and logistic center.

Professionals say that Perm krai has

outstanding conditions for logistical develop-ment. Firstly, it has a favorable geographic position on the border of Europe and Asia: it stands at the intersec-tion of transcontinental railroad, motorway and air lines plus a waterway to Northern and Southern Europe. Secondly, Perm krai boasts a well-developed infrastructure provid-ing freight transfer by means of various trans-portation modes and powerful freight traffic. Finally krai is demon-

strating a fast pace of economic development and a favorable invest-ment climate.

In the middle of Sep-tember it was reported that RusPromDevelop-ment Ltd. (yekaterin-burg) is set to build the first large trans-regional logistic center in Perm krai. The company’s representatives have chosen a site of 50 square hectares in the village of Zvezdny. According to the plan, Zvezdny is to become a construction site for an A-type logistics center

with building expenses of The turn-over of freight for large and medium enterprises has also increased; today it proves to be higher than in other cities of the federal district. Such indices clearly indicate that Perm has already become a large transportation and logistic center.

Today the Perm krai Ministry of Commerce has already received offers from eight logistic companies including Russia’s larg-est operators: Avalon, the Limited Society RusPromDevelopment and Eurasia-Logistic Coproration. Thirty one potential inves-tors of krai, federal and international level have shown a strong financial interest in the project.

the perm krai property fund puts up to auc-

tion 12.05% of the closed Jsc uralgazservice and 25.01% of the limited society permregiongaz shares that belong to the krai administration.

The administration’s share in Permregiongaz is planned to be sold at an open-bid auction scheduled for October 28. The shareholding reserve

price amounts to €8.6 million. The minimum incremental increase is set to reach 5% or €428 thousand. Bids will be ad-mitted from 19 September to 22 October. In Septem-ber the Perm krai Agency for the Management of Federal Property noti-fied the Limited Society Mezhregiongaz of their intention to sell 25.01% of the company’s shares. Mezhregiongaz holds

74.01% thus it enjoys a preferential redemption option. however, the Permregiongaz rates the Administration’s share at €3 million.

uralgazservice shares are to be sold through a public offering with downward prices ad-justment. Tenders will be organized from 30 October to 16 December. The shareholding reserve price is expected to reach

€2.8 million. Every three business days if no cus-tomer appears the price will be lowered by €141 thousand. The minimal shareholding price should arrive at €1.4 million. In October last year jSC Gazpromregiongaz (Open JSC Gazprom’s subsidiary distribution company) that holds 75% of ural-gazservice shares refused to redeem Perm krai’s 12.05% for €2.8 million.

AUCTioN iN ChAyKovsKy FAiled

The auction for the sale of the leasehold estate in Chaykovsky is seen as aborted. Because he was unable to pay the sum demanded, the only applicant did not attend. The initial cost of the lot amounted to €360 thousand.

The Chaykovsky council was going to let 5.8 hectares of land for three years and later pass it into the ownership of the tenant on the expiry of the term. The auction required the land to be used only for the construction of shopping cen-tres and stores. The piece of land is going to be tendered once again at a lower price.

launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome and received a Dakon-M (modernized transducer of convection) device to the International Space Station. Specialists in the general Physics Depart-ment at the Perm State university produced the device. work with the device began on 22 Sep-tember after the spacecraft docked.

The device is intended for research into the science of space materials, the physics of liquids in zero gravity and gravitational conditions at the ISS. Physicists of the Perm State university are the key people pursuing these researches. It should be mentioned that the scientists continue research conducted previously at the Mir orbital station.

the new plant manufacturing large-format plywood and

curved glued products is start-ing its operations in gremy-achinsk at the end of 2008.

Perm region has already re-ceived the first advance orders for its production. Potential customers include both facto-ries from Russia and enterprises from abroad, namely in Slove-nia.

Rosplit Ltd has invested in the plywood mill construction plant. The timber factory is going to be built at the industrial site of the former machinery works.

Every year the plant is expected to manufacture 18 thousand square metres of curved glued products and 60 thousand square metres of plywood. Birch log is going to serve as the raw material for produc-tion. The project is expected to be implemented in two stages. The first stage will involve the organization of curved glued products manufacture. In four months it is planned to start up production and then achieve the expected capacity in 2009. The second stage starting in the March of 2009 is going to entail the producing of plywood.

experts agree that the furniture

market in perm is still in the process of development. there is neither any differen-tiation of companies according to market segments nor grada-tion into leaders or outsiders.

According to one of the competitors, “our

performance of 8% is not very impressive compared to 28-30% of annual growth in other regions”. On the other hand the rapidly grow-ing market is highly advantageous for investors, unlike the one in Moscow that is already saturated.

The Perm region is rich in the resources

needed for furniture manufacturing, i.e. the production of Perm woodworking, wood-chemical and oil refining industries. Experts claim that “our producers are in a favorable situation: their expenses on raw and other materials are much lower than in many other Russian regions. we have all

the necessary fac-tors to encourage the development of our furniture industry”.

The situation can be changed when the Russian Federation enters the wTO. The market will be opened for foreign producers with whom only the largest trade networks will manage to com-pete.

Several supply contracts have been already signed with businesses in russia and Kazakhstan; it is expected to arrange deliveries to other countries subsequently.

last month the scania-rus concern repre-

sentatives invited perm carriers to the scania-pi-ter factory to introduce the production process of one of the most durable and sound buses in the world that meets euro-4 ecologi-cal requirements.

The company informed their guests of possible business prospects in the Perm region.

Apart from passenger transportation the region takes an interest in the concern’s activity because Perm occupies a central

position among other in-dustrial cities that experi-ence considerable demand for SCANIA products. The region has an economically advantageous location. It is situated on the border of Europe and Asia thus Perm carriers can eas-ily supply goods to both Siberia and Central Russia at low transportation costs. The regional infrastruc-ture is rapidly developing. Perm krai is an essential road junction that has a high freight turnover. It is crossed by the Trans-Siberian line and a major federal motorway.

The bank issued loans to Open JSC Volga Territorial generation Company and Open JSC Territorial generating

Company #10 (Chelyabinsk region). The disbursement of so large amount in one tranche clearly shows the steadiness of the bank’s liquidity despite the world economic crisis.

Experts expect that China’s position will weaken because of a redistribution of deliveries to the home market which will provoke a reduction of supplies.

Besides, uralkaly has reached its new export price maximum. The

price for the delivery of muriate amounts to €795 per tonne. It

confirms that there is a shortfall in a seg-ment of the market for potash manures which has counteracted the current unfavorable state of the raw mate-rial market.

Extra profits, made as a result of the price increase in fertilizers, can be used to buy as-sets within the bounds of the investment plan. Otherwise, money will be sent for the redemption of stock or for the distribution of dividends.

Real estateexpert opinion

By sergey BugalevichThe topic: some means to save capital during the building crisis.The world economic crisis has quite adversely affected the building market and provoked the decline in prices. It has happened not only owing to the decrease in mortgage credits given out by banks but also because the market players, who used to boost house prices are now more cau-tious. Those who planned to buy a flat have not abandoned their plans, but some complications have materialised for them.

Player’s portraitIn the first place, market stagnation hit those

companies, which came into being specifically to make money in the fast-growing market. Second-ly, companies oriented only to building up their business have experienced repercussions be-cause their profits depend solely on house sell-ing. Because today sales have virtually stopped such companies are experiencing difficulties with getting financing, credit repayment and as a result they are forced to slow down the build-ing of some units. The third group of developers is the companies carrying on a diversified busi-ness. They are steady enough and therefore can afford to keep prices corresponding to the real value of a house.

economic-segmentToday a redistribution of values is going on

as developers are forced to vary their needs and cut house prices down to real values. It is easy to forecast what is going to happen next: the realty of the economic sector will most likely be run-ning low in price, more or less depending on the demand for houses, its disposition and a seller’s financial circumstances. Meanwhile, people may only gain by buying not very expensive flats be-cause there is a federal programme controlling high houses prices in the country.

elite resource.As far as elite dwellings and business-class

houses are concerned, we have to take into ac-count the special features of Perm’s develop-ment. It turned out that in Leninsky and Sverd-lovsky city’s districts, where dwellings are the most expensive, houses of different classes are being built now. The quantity of new buildings is limited though. The price difference in these houses used to be smooth because of the fan-tastic growth of house prices until recently, so all developers began to declare their buildings to be elite. At present, the market situation for busi-ness-class dwellings is going to depend on the stability of developers. I suppose the following things will be happening:

There are few houses which really achieve a high standard of living, and a high level of com-fort and consumption. They will remain expensive even if developers hold prices at a certain level but for a short period. In fact, there are not many such houses and it is most likely that they will not build anymore. The prices of these houses are not going to change appreciably so if a man hopes to save his money then at all times and all over the word the best way is to buy expensive accommodation. Such objects, like luxuries, never fall in price but only in-crease in value. naturally, it is good to consult with a professional before a purchase is made, as it will save you your time and nervous wear and tear.

undertake the task of financing the infrastructure of the factory. At present, the local officials intend to involve international big business.

Arkadiy Kaz, head of the City Administration, stated: — The substation will allow investors to realize projects that are worth billions of rubles. These are investments that will provide the city with new houses, stores and social institutions. Thus the project is tremendously important for the people of Perm city.

On 24 September, the Perm branch of the Open jSC International Distributing Grid Company of the urals (IDGC of the urals) completed the construction of substation Bereg. The substation’s estimated capacity was considerably increased in the course of the construction works. Primarily Bereg was intended to be fitted with two boost-ers with the capacity of 16 megavolt-amperes. however while the demand in electric power was increasing at an extremely fast pace, development engineers made a decision to install 40 megavolt-amperes boosters. Thus the substation’s true pow-er is 2.5 times bigger than was initially designed. According to expert analysis, the substation’s total cost amounts to €20.24 million.

dioRAMA BeCoMesCoMMUNisM MUseUM

The Perm Regional Museum is gradually phasing in the Commu-nism Museum Project which presents the various ep-ochs of Soviet government. One of the first stages of the project will be the Perm kulib-ins exhibi-tion which opened in the Diorama museum on the 27th of September.

The exhibition displays 255 show-pieces: machinery drawings, manufactures and instru-ments that belonged to Perm’s self-taught inventors of previous eras.

Among the heroes of the exhibition are G. kobyak, who discovered medical electro-lytic water, and k. Beresnev, a photographer who introduced a new technology of photo-graphic paper production at the time of the Great Patriotic war. Among other honorable inventors it is worth mentioning v. Polyakov, the engineer, creator of small-scale aircraft en-gines; G. kryukov, the inventor of the unique turn-bench for clock repair; and A. Petrov, the electrical-fitter of the locomotive depot, who at the same time was an amateur painter, sculptor and medalist.

RussiAn PooR exhibitionin the perm river-

side station the art exhibition, russian poor, has started its work. it became the first part of a project started by the perm museum of contem-porary art.

The project was launched on the initiative of Sergey Gordeev, the Sen-ate Parliamentary representative from the Perm region. At his invitation Marat Gelman, the re-source man, brought painters together to pursue the idea that is expected to mark a new move-ment in Russian Art of the 21st century. According to Ser-gey Gordeev, “This project owes its birth to the fact that Perm lacks a museum of contemporary art. we studied museums in other cities and decided to create something new and unusual. The start-

ing point became the Perm wooden sculp-ture. The Russian Poor exhibition is an

experiment intended to see whether Perm citizens respond with interest to the event”.

The exhibition comprises pieces of art made with “poor” materials, for instance foam plastic, card-board, unburnt clay or scrap iron. Thirty-six painters have exhibited their artistic creations. They are Nicolay Polissky, Olga and Alexander Florensky, valery koshlyakov, Dmitry Gutov, Anatoly Os-molovsky, Alexander Brodsky, Petr Beliy, vladimir Arhipov and others. Many artists created their works specially for the event.

All those anxious to do so are welcome to visit the exhibition which will run until the end of October. Later it will go to the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, then to Italy and the uSA. And further on, in a year and a half, it will come back to Perm, to the newly recon-structed riverside station.


CULTURe

perm citizens have always appreci-

ated their gardens as the best places for a promenade. at the very beginning when planning the city, designers paid special attention to the gardens. in the 19th century the first parks appeared. since then they have changed and got dif-ferent names but we can still enjoy their green shelter.

In summer the Public Meeting Out-of-Town Garden (today’s Gorky Park) was the centre of at-traction. The majority of people from the district of Motovilikha and the suburbs en-joyed spending sum-mer evenings there. At the time of folk festivities on whit-sunday, Elijah’s Day and St.Peter’s Day the garden attracted up to several thousand people.

Its history dates back to 1804 when the boulevard be-tween the Siberian and the kazan tracts was planted. It was comprised of four lines of birches and a wide road for cabs passing between them. The tributary lanes were intended for pedestrians.

The arrival in the town of the Russian emperor Alexander I marked the next stage of its history. At that time, in 1824, the fa-mous I.I.Sviyazev’s ro-tunda was built in the centre of the future park that nowadays has become one of the symbols of Perm. Some decades later the boulevard turned into a real garden. From the summer of 1882 an orches-tra played here and prizes-for-all lotteries were held. Behind the rotunda the grand wooden building of a summer club was constructed. It housed premises for a the-atre where the artists from other cities performed, a snack bar, billiards, a room for card players and a bowling alley. The

garden was enclosed by a wooden open-work fencing and visitors had to pay at the gate. At the same time a new street appeared – Garden (today’s Revolution) Street.

At the end of the 19th century Perm was flooded by bicy-cles. At that time the authorities created a society of cyclists and a cycling ground near the garden, now known as yunost stadium. In 1926 the park was renamed Red Garden and later got the name of Gorky Park.

The Garden of Public Meeting has been open for visi-tors since the middle of May. In spring Perm citizens enjoyed the Theatre Garden, which was considered most picturesque. It had been planted in 1883 and surrounded the Opera theatre in the centre of Perm. A hundred years ago its creators planted lin-dens, maples, birches, cedars and silver-firs here and arranged plenty of comfort-able benches with backrests. Besides, visitors could rejoice at a fountain, a stone grotto with electrical lighting, flowerbeds and a brass band playing on holidays.

The bank of the kama-River featured another recreation site – Quay Garden. One could admire the wonderful view on the

river while walking in it. In the 1860s it was named the Public Bagration Garden after the general who brought to the town the news about the abolishment of bond-age in 1861. how-ever this name didn’t become very popular and Perm citizens preferred to call it the Goat Corral because goats were very com-mon visitors here nibbling the grass. At the beginning of the 20th century the garden featured the graceful wooden building of the Stock Exchange, a fountain and a flowerbed with flowers composing an anchor. At that time quay Garden became the town’s favorite at-traction. People liked to watch the ice drift and the first steam-boats chugging from this place. It brought the desired animation to their monotonous lives. In the 1930-40s the youth enjoyed dancing to the brass band in the garden newly named after the writer F.M. Reshet-nikov. In 1985 the garden got another honour - a monument in memory of the Civil war heroes.

Perm owes many of its gardens to the governor A.k. Anas-tasiev (1882 - 1885) who organized the construction of the Theatre garden and the planting of trees in the city streets. On his initiative in 1884

a garden was laid out in front of the town’s prison. It was meant for children’s strolls and plays. however not many parents were eager to take their children there and it was popularly called the Prison Gar-den. In 1925 on the 100th anniversary of the Decembrist Revolt it was renamed the Decembrist Park.

Perm is proud of many other gardens and their history is worth uncovering. In the 19th century almost every house in the town was sur-rounded by a garden. Tree lines were plant-ed along the central streets, for instance the famous alley along komsomolsky Avenue. The view of the town encouraged a contemporary to write about the nu-merous Perm gardens a hundred years ago. Today the green color of vegetation still predominates in the city’s palette which makes it especially fascinating.

Cut a piece of haunch or shoulder meat in broad slices, salt it, roll in flour and fry on all sides till crack-ling appears. Take a big bowl and mix onion, carrot and celeriac chopped in straws, rye bread cut in little cubes, laurel leaves, peppercorn and salt. Cover the bottom of a frying pan or a clay pot with thin pieces of fat. Put the slices of fried meat over them, then add a layer of mixed vegetables and again put the meat followed by vegetables. Pour the bouillon into the frying pan so that it covers the second layer of the meat.

Put the pan on fire, wait till the bouillon boils and place it in a preheated oven. If you cook in pots then only the oven may suite. Saute the meat during 2 - 2.5 hours. When 20 or 25 minutes is left add half a glassful of sour cream.

If you stewed the meat in pots, then serve it in them as well. The dish is usually served together with boiled potatoes.

In a unique event for all jazz-lovers be-tween November 26-28, 2008 Perm is hosting a “Jazz Fever” Festival dedicated to the famous Perm composer, “father” of Soviet jazz, heinrich Terpilovsky (1908-1988). Today the list of festival guests is still to be decided; however, among the honored guests the organizers are expecting to see a jazz-band from Lower Saxony, jazzmen from Louisville (uSA) as well as musicians from Moscow and St. Petersburg. Perm bands will perform in The Crystal Lion club (youth Center), as well as in concert halls in kras-nokamsk and Osa. In connection with the Centenary of Heinrich Terpilovsky’s birth, a photo exhibition as well as a gala concert of the festival’s participants will take place in the Soldatov Cultural Center. Although the dates and the guest lists aren’t determined yet, the festival organizers are quite ambi-tious. According to Alexander Protasevich, the Festival’s coordinator, the main objec-tive of the event is to search and develop creative liaisons with leading jazz performers and producers in Russia and abroad.

Creative teams may send application forms marked “Jazz Fever” to [email protected].

the meeting of the german-russian

youth parliament took place in perm. during one week 50 young people from germany and russia were discussing such areas of political policy as the econ-omy, civil society, the mass-media and ecology.

At the final meet-ing the young parlia-mentarians presented seven projects and in the course of the voting three most

crucial ones were chosen. however all of the projects have to be perfected: only after that might they receive financial sup-port.

The winning entry was the project “Small Company – Great Success that aims to integrate Russian and German youth in business. It is sup-posed to be carried on in three stages. The first stage will see a competition for young entrepreneurs to test business ideas.

At the next stage par-ticipants will have to meet the challenges of survival in business and get over all the difficulties. And at the final stage two win-ners from Russia and Germany will get the financial support to implement their proj-ects. The peculiarity of the competition is that participants will describe their experi-ence on web blogs so that people all around the world will be able to read their live sto-ries of success.

According to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs other projects deserve the same interest and are worth being realized as well. young special-ists will coordinate their projects on the Internet and only after that apply for the International Ex-change Fund headed by Andrey Nechaev. Soon we will know about the projects that are going to be sponsored and implemented in both countries.
