Siberia – A New D evelopment Siberia has been created for “fantasts”, a foreign delegate to the international meeting held at Akademgorodok once said. It is difficult to imagine that this territory which could easily accommodate the 33 states of Europe, is only a part of Russia. Well over 50% of the world’s known coal reserve are concerned here, as well as the biggest deposits of oil and gas, iron and non- ferrous metal ores, gold and diamonds. Siberia accounts for 60% of the country’s forests, 80% of its water resources, 60% of its coal, and has a unique flora and fauna.
Lake Baikal – the pearl of Siberia – is a huge laboratory of the limnologists. The Siberian scientists bend every effort to preserve its purity correctly to use its wealth and to restore its fish reserves. The Far Eastern biologists study the unique nature of the Primorye Region, where the legendary Ginseng Plant, reputed to have miraculous powers, grows.
Siberia’s short but hot summer always surprises visitors who associate Siberia only with cold and wind. What can be more pleasant than a mug of c old Russian “Russian Kvass” on a hot day.
Western Siberia Depending on the part you are in, the Siberian winter lasts form five to eight months, the thermometer stays at minus 40 C. But lovers of winter sports do not feel the cold. Siberians say, “it takes more to scare a Russian than the Siberian cold”.
All sports, especially skiing and sleighing are a favourite pastime of Siberians. There are some who swim the year round in the bitter cold.
Some Facts about N ovosibirsk

Novonikolayevsk A settlement that sprang up here in 1893 during the years of construction developed into a small town, named Novonikolayevsk . In 1925 the town was renamed Novosibirsk.

Never before had people of science moved so quickly to developing regions.
