The article reveals the views of the outstanding military, statesman and socio-political figure Sultan-Gaza Valikhanov on a wide range of issues of the colonization of Asian spaces by the forces of the Russian Empire. Based on the materials of the anniversary celebrations dedicated to the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the annexation of Siberia to Russia, in the preparation and publication of which G. Valikhanov was directly involved, the main «platforms», channels and ways of broadcasting problematic issues of the incorporation of the eastern outskirts into Russia are identified: the politics of the population, penal colonization, resettlement, enlightenment and education, railway construction. In the course of the study, it was established that the approach chosen by G. Valikhanov to organize the structure of the anniversary edition made it possible to identify the most significant problems that determined the logic of including the eastern outskirts in the general imperial space, and also to present in the final text of the conclusion, according to which the anniversary celebrations dedicated to significant historical events, in particular the annexation of Siberia to Russia, are an effective way of consolidating public and, above all, regional forces, allowing them to show communicative agreement in the discussion of the most pressing Siberian issues by society.

We summarized the contribution of scientists who carried out extensive research towards the study of blood-sucking insects in various landscape areas of Siberia and the Far East. We also defined the historical and socio-economic roots as the basis for the formation of an independent discipline in such an economically important branch of agricultural production - animal husbandry. We determined the role and significance of research works of scientists in veterinary dipterology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Morphological traits of perennial rhizome Brachypodium pinnatum are investigated on the territory of Siberia. The species is heterogeneous morphologically and karyologically. Five qualitative features were revealed, which showed the greatest variability. In addition, based on a multivariate analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits, a correlation was established between morphological features and longitude and latitude of location. As a result of the studies, we found that the samples belong to one karyological race. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
