{{Eastern Slavic name|Stepanovich|Chernomyrdin}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''Viktor Stepanovich Chernomyrdin''' ({{lang-ru|Ви́ктор Степа́нович Черномы́рдин}}, {{IPA-ru|ˈvʲiktər sʲtʲɪˈpanəvʲɪtɕ tɕɪrnɐˈmɨrdʲɪn|IPA}}; 9 April 1938{{spaced ndash}}3 November 2010) was a Russian politician. He was the first chairman of the [[Gazprom]] energy company and the longest-serving [[Prime Minister of Russia]] (1992–1998) based on consecutive years. He was a key figure in Russian politics in the 1990s, and a participant in the Russian transition from a [[Planned economy|planned]] to a [[Market economy|market]] economy. From 2001 to 2009, he was Russia's ambassador to [[Ukraine]]. After that he was designated as a presidential adviser.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;kremlin110609&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chernomyrdin is known in Russia and [[List of countries where Russian is an official language|Russian-speaking countries]] for his unique language style, containing numerous [[malapropism]]s and [[Syntax|syntactic]] errors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dosuga.net&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.dosuga.net/?type=marazm&amp;amp;seq=cherno&amp;amp;mk=on&amp;amp;num=|title=Collection of Chernomyrdin's quotes at a Russian humour website (in Russian)|publisher=Dosuga|date=25 August 1998|accessdate=3 November 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Many of his sayings became [[aphorism]]s and [[idiom]]s in the [[Russian language]], the most famous being his expression ''&amp;quot;We wanted the best, but it turned out like always.&amp;quot;'' ({{lang-ru|Хотели как лучше, а получилось как всегда}}).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dushenko.ru&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.dushenko.ru/news_archive/21/ A story of the main Chernomyrdin's proverb by Konstantin Dushenko, an aphorism collector (in Russian)]{{dead link|date=November 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chernomyrdin died on 3 November 2010 after a long illness. He was buried beside his wife in [[Novodevichy Cemetery]] on 5 November, and his funeral was broadcast live on Russian [[Television in Russia|federal TV channels]].&amp;lt;ref name=rbc/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and education==&lt;br /&gt;
Chernomyrdin was born in Chernyi Otrog, Orenburg Oblast, Russian SFSR. His father was a labourer and Viktor was one of five children. Chernomyrdin completed school education in 1957 and found employment as a mechanic in an [[oil refinery]] in [[Orsk]]. He worked there until 1962, except for two years of [[Conscription#Russia|compulsory military service]] from 1957 to 1960. His other occupations on the plant during this period included machinist, operator and chief of technical installations.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He became a member of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|CPSU]] in 1961. In 1962, he was admitted to Kuybyshev Industrial Institute (which was later renamed [[Samara Polytechnical Institute]]). In his entrance exams he performed very poorly. He failed the math sections of the test and had to take the exam again, getting a C. He got only one B, in Russian language, and Cs in the other tests. He was admitted only because of very poor competition. In 1966, he graduated from the institute. In 1972, he completed further studies at the Department of Economics of the Union-wide Polytechnic Institute by correspondence.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early career==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Оренбургский газоперерабатывающий завод. В. С. Черномырдин и А. Н. Косыгин..jpg|thumb|left|Chernomyrdin with Soviet Deputy Premier [[Alexei Kosygin]] in 1975]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chernomyrdin began developing his career as a politician when he worked for the CPSU in [[Orsk]] between 1967 and 1973. In 1973, he was appointed the director of the natural gas refining plant in [[Orenburg]], a position which he held until 1978. Between 1978 and 1982, Chernomyrdin worked in the heavy industry arm of the CPSU [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Central Committee]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1982, he was appointed deputy Minister of the natural gas industries of the [[Soviet Union]]. Concurrently, beginning from 1983, he directed Glavtyumengazprom, an industry association for natural gas resource development in [[Tyumen Oblast]]. During 1985–1989 he was the minister of gas industries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Founder of Gazprom==&lt;br /&gt;
In August 1989, under the leadership of Chernomyrdin, the Ministry of Gas Industry was transformed into the ''State Gas Concern'', [[Gazprom]], which became the country's first [[state corporation|state-corporate enterprise]]. Chernomyrdin was elected its first chairman. The company was still controlled by the state, but now the control was exercised through shares of stock, 100% of which were owned by the state.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;faq_jsc&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://eng.gazpromquestions.ru/?id=10 |title=Gazprom – Joint Stock Company |publisher=Gazprom |accessdate=18 October 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090122202622/http://eng.gazpromquestions.ru/?id=10 |archivedate=22 January 2009 |df=dmy }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;marshall&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Goldman|first=Marshall I.|title=Petrostate: Putin, Power and the New Russia|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2008|chapter=5|isbn=978-0-19-534073-0}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Soviet Union dissolved in late 1991, assets of the former Soviet state in the gas sector were transferred to newly created national companies such as [[Ukrgazprom]] and [[Turkmengazprom]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Aarentsen|first=Maarten|title=National reforms in European gas|year=2003}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Gazprom kept assets located in the territory of Russia, and was able to secure a monopoly in the gas sector.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;marshall&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gazprom's political influence increased markedly after Russian President [[Boris Yeltsin]] appointed the company's chairman Chernomyrdin as his [[Prime Minister of Russia|Prime Minister]] in 1992. [[Rem Viakhirev]] took Chernomyrdin's place as Chairman both of the Board of Directors and of the Managing Committee.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;marshall&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Gazprom was one of the backbones of the country's economy in 1990s, though the company underperformed during that decade. In the 2000s, however, Gazprom became the largest extractor of natural gas in the world and the largest [[Economy of Russia|Russian company]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Prime Minister of Russia==&lt;br /&gt;
In May 1992, [[Boris Yeltsin]] appointed Chernomyrdin as Deputy Prime Minister in charge of fuel and energy.&amp;lt;ref name=NYT/&amp;gt; On 14 December 1992, Chernomyrdin was confirmed by the VII Congress of People's Deputies of Russia as Prime Minister. In April 1995, he formed a political bloc called [[Our Home – Russia]], which was aimed at becoming the central force in the parliament, but failed in this, gaining only 10% of votes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1995, Chernomyrdin signed a decree calling for the development of a national strategy for tiger conservation&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title = Russia’s Tough Tigers - National Zoo{{!}} FONZ|url = http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Publications/ZooGoer/2008/1/Amur_tigers.cfm|website = nationalzoo.si.edu|access-date = 2016-02-03}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 18 June 1995, as a result of [[Shamil Basayev]]-led terrorists [[Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis|taking over 1500 people hostage]] in [[Budyonnovsk]], negotiations between Chernomyrdin and Basayev led to a compromise which became a turning point for the [[First Chechen War]]. In exchange for the hostages, the [[Russian government]] agreed to halt military actions in Chechnya and begin a series of negotiations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/01/world/facing-threat-in-parliament-yeltsin-removes-3-ministers.html?pagewanted=all|work=The New York Times|title=Facing Threat in Parliament, Yeltsin Removes 3 Ministers|first=Steven|last=Erlanger|date=1 July 1995|accessdate=27 May 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Boris Yeltsin was undergoing a heart operation on 6 November 1996, Chernomyrdin served as [[Acting President of the Russian Federation|Acting President]] for 23 hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;HoffmanWashingtonPost&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Hoffman|first=David|title=Yeltsin Heart Operation Called a Success|work=The Washington Post|publisher=The Washington Post|date=6 November 1996|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/russiagov/stories/success110696.htm|accessdate=10 April 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Decree of President of Russian Federation No. 1378 of 19 September 1996; [http://www.businesspravo.ru/Docum/DocumShow_DocumID_49072.html Temporary discharge of duty of President of Russian Federation] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717183246/http://www.businesspravo.ru/Docum/DocumShow_DocumID_49072.html |date=17 July 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chernomyrdin remained Prime Minister until his sudden dismissal on 23 March 1998. Following the [[1998 Russian financial crisis]] in August, Yeltsin re-appointed Chernomyrdin as Prime Minister, and attempted to groom him as his successor. However, the [[State Duma|Duma]] twice refused to confirm Chernomyrdin as the head of the government. Rather than to risk the third rejection and thus to force the [[Dissolution of parliament#Russia|dissolution of the State Duma]] and political crisis, Chernomyrdin withdrew his nomination and the President asked the more popular [[Yevgeny Primakov]] to [[Yevgeny Primakov's Cabinet|form a new cabinet]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Diplomatic career==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Vladimir Putin 19 June 2001-1.jpg|thumb|right|Chernomyrdin with [[Vladimir Putin]] in June 2001 after being appointed as [[Ambassador of Russia to Ukraine]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Виктор Черномырдин.jpg|right|thumb|[[Dmitry Medvedev]] and Viktor Chernomyrdin in 2010]]&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[NATO bombing of Yugoslavia]] in 1999 Chernomyrdin was a special representative of Russia in Yugoslavia. It was he who persuaded [[Slobodan Milošević]] to agree to an armistice and to place [[Kosovo]] under UN control.&amp;lt;ref name=lenta/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 1999 Chernomyrdin was [[Russian legislative election, 1999|elected]] a member of the [[State Duma]]. In May 2001, [[Vladimir Putin]] appointed Chernomyrdin [[Ambassador of Russia to Ukraine]]. This action was interpreted by some Russian media agencies as a move to distance Chernomyrdin from the centre of [[Politics of Russia|Russian politics]]. In 2003, he dismissed talk of an apology for the [[Holodomor|Holodomor Famine]] made by the Soviet Union.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4471256.stm|work=BBC|title=Ukraine demands 'genocide' marked|date=25 November 2005 |accessdate=27 May 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2009 Chernomyrdin again strained the [[Russia–Ukraine relations|relations between Ukraine and Russia]] when he in an interview said &amp;quot;It is impossible to come to an agreement on anything with the [[Government of Ukraine|Ukrainian leadership]]. If different people come in, we'll see&amp;quot;.

In Russian-speaking countries, Chernomyrdin is famous for his numerous [[malapropism]]s and [[Syntax|syntactically]] incorrect speech.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dosuga.net&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; His idioms received the name ''Chernomyrdinki'', and are somewhat comparable to [[Bushism]]s in style and effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of his expressions ''&amp;quot;We wanted to do it better, but it turned out as always&amp;quot;'' (''Хотели как лучше, а получилось как всегда'' in Russian) about the economic reforms in Russia became a very popular proverb.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dushenko.ru&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=ru&amp;amp;q=%22%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B8+%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA+%D0%BB%D1%83%D1%87%D1%88%D0%B5%22+%22%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%8C+%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA+%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B0%22&amp;amp;btnG=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA&amp;amp;lr= |title=Google search for the main Chernomyrdin's proverb quoted and re-used (in Russian)|publisher=Google|accessdate=3 November 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The phrase was uttered after a [[Monetary reform in Russia, 1993|highly unsuccessful monetary exchange]] performed by the [[Central Bank of the Russian Federation|Russian Central Bank]] in July 1993.&amp;lt;ref name=NYT/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Biography==&lt;br /&gt;
Mkhitar Manukyan was born 20 September 1973 in [[Leninakan]] (now [[Gyumri]]), [[Armenia]]. He took up Greco-Roman wrestling at the age of ten. Manukyan lost both of his parents and a sister in the [[1988 Spitak earthquake]]. According to him, this tragedy helped him in wrestling. He became a junior world champion twice in 1990 and 1991. From 1993 to 1996, Manukyan was a member of the Armenia national Greco-Roman wrestling team. He won bronze medals at the [[1995 World Wrestling Championships]] and [[1996 European Wrestling Championships]]. Manukyan participated at the [[1996 Summer Olympics]] in Atlanta, together with his brothers [[Aghasi Manukyan|Aghasi]] and [[Samvel Manukyan|Samvel]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;MMAL&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|script-title=ru:Мхитар Манукян – о жизни|url=http://borqba.narod.ru/htm-sport/mhitar-zh.htm|publisher=borqba.narod.ru|accessdate=12 February 2013|language=ru}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1997, Manukyan received an invitation from the Greco-Roman wrestling head coach of Kazakhstan, [[Daulet Turlykhanov]], and moved to [[Almaty]] and continued to compete under the flag of Kazakhstan. In the same year, Manukyan won a gold medal at the [[1997 Asian Wrestling Championships]]. He later won a gold medal at the [[1998 World Wrestling Championships]]. In 1999, Manukyan became a two-time Asian and two-time World Champion at the [[1999 Asian Wrestling Championships]] and [[1999 World Wrestling Championships]]. Manukyan was recognized as the best fighter of the year for 1999 by the [[International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles]]. He was one of the medal favorites for the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in Sydney, but in the preliminary stage of the competition, he lost to [[Juan Marén]] and came in seventh place.&amp;lt;ref name=sr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The '''Urals''' ({{lang-ru|Ура́л}}) are a geographical region located around the [[Ural Mountains]], between the [[East European Plain|East European]] and [[West Siberian Plain|West Siberian]] plains. It extends approximately from north to south, from the [[Arctic Ocean]] to the bend of [[Ural River]] near [[Orsk]] city. The boundary between Europe and Asia runs along the eastern side of the Ural Mountains.&amp;lt;ref name=bse&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://slovari.yandex.ru/~%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B8/%D0%91%D0%A1%D0%AD/%D0%A3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BB%20(%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%87.)/|title=Ural (geographical)|publisher=[[Great Soviet Encyclopedia]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ural mostly lies within [[Russia]] but also includes a part of northwestern [[Kazakhstan]]. This is a historical, not an official entity, with the boundaries overlapping its western [[Volga]] and eastern [[Siberia]] neighbor regions. At points in time, parts of the Urals were considered a gateway to Siberia, if not Siberia itself, or were combined with the Volga administrative divisions. At present time, there are two official namesake entities, the [[Ural Federal District]] and the [[Ural economic region]]. While the latter follows the historical boundaries, the former is a political product; the District omits Western Urals and includes Western Siberia instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The historical center of the Urals is [[Cherdyn, Perm Krai|Cherdyn]], nowadays it is the small town in [[Perm Krai]].&lt;br /&gt;
Perm was an administrative center of the [[gubernia]] with the same name by 1797. The most territory of historical and modern Ural was included in Perm gubernia. The administrative center of Urals was moved to Sverdlovsk (nowadays [[Yekaterinburg]]) after Revolution and Civil war. Nowadays Ural economic region does not have an administrative and informal capital, whereas Yekaterinburg is administrative center of the Ural Federal District.&amp;lt;ref name=ukaz&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://base.garant.ru/12119586/|language=Russian|title=Указ Президента РФ от 13 мая 2000 г. N 849 &amp;quot;О полномочном представителе Президента Российской Федерации в федеральном округе&amp;quot; (Decree No 849 by the President of Russia on 13 May 2000)}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Ural-batyr}}&lt;br /&gt;
From the 11th century, the region of the Ural Mountains was called &amp;quot;stone&amp;quot; by Russians. In the mid-16th – early 17th century, the southern parts became known as Ural, which later spread to the entire area. The name probably originated from [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] &amp;quot;aral&amp;quot;. This word literally means &amp;quot;island&amp;quot; and was used for any territory different from the surrounding terrain. In [[Bashkortostan]] there is a 13th-century legend about a hero named Ural. He sacrificed his life for the sake of his people, and they poured a stone pile over his grave, which later turned into the Ural Mountains.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Topography==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Ural Mountains}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Iset - view from Three Caves (left).jpg|thumb|Iset River near [[Kamensk-Uralsky]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
By topography and other natural features, Ural is divided, from north to south, into the Polar (or Arctic), Near-Polar (or Sub-Arctic), Northern, Central and Southern parts. The Polar Ural has an area of about 25,000&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and a strongly dissected relief. The Near-Polar Ural is wider (up to 150&amp;amp;nbsp;km) and higher than the Polar Ural. The Northern Ural consists of a series of parallel ridges with the height up to 1,000–1,300 m and longitudinal depressions, which are elongated from north to south. The Central Ural is the lowest part of Urals, with the highest mountain of 994 m (Basegi) and a smooth relief. The relief of Southern Ural is more complex, with numerous valleys and ridges directed south-west and meridionally.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=brit/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Geology==&lt;br /&gt;
Urals contains 48 species of economically valuable ores and minerals. Eastern regions are rich in [[chalcopyrite]], [[nickel oxide]], [[chromite]] and [[magnetite]] ores, as well as in coal ([[Chelyabinsk Oblast]]), [[bauxite]], [[gold]] and [[platinum]]. Western Ural contains deposits of coal, oil, gas and [[potassium]] salts. The specialty of Urals is precious and semi-precious stones, such as [[emerald]], [[amethyst]], [[Aquamarine (gemstone)|aquamarine]], [[jasper]], [[rhodonite]], [[malachite]] and [[diamond]].&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Climate==&lt;br /&gt;
The climate of Ural is continental. The ridges of the Ural Mountains are elongated from north to south, they effectively absorb sunlight thereby increasing the temperature. The areas west to the Ural Mountains are 1–2 °C warmer in winter than the eastern regions because the former are warmed by the Atlantic winds whereas the eastern slopes are chilled by the Siberian air masses. The average January temperatures increase in the western areas from –20 °C in the Polar to –15 °C in the Southern Urals and the corresponding temperatures in July are 10 °C and 20 °C. The western areas also received more rainfall than the eastern ones by 150–300&amp;amp;nbsp;mm per year. The highest precipitation (1000&amp;amp;nbsp;mm) is in the Northern Ural that causes the average height of snow up to 90&amp;amp;nbsp;cm. The eastern parts receive from 500–600&amp;amp;nbsp;mm on the north to 300–400&amp;amp;nbsp;mm on the south.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rivers and lakes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Maksimovsky rock Chusovaya river.jpg|thumb|Chusovaya River]]&lt;br /&gt;
Most Ural rivers belong to the basin of the [[Arctic Ocean]]. They include [[Tobol River|Tobol]], [[Iset River|Iset]], [[Tura River|Tura]], [[Pechora River|Pechora]], [[Lozva River|Lozva]] and [[Severnaya Sosva River]]s. The southern rivers – [[Ural River|Ural]], [[Kama River|Kama]], [[Belaya River (Kama)|Belaya]] and [[Chusovaya River]]s – belong to the [[Caspian Sea]] basin. Western rivers, especially north-western ones, are more affluent. They have high and long (2–3 months) floods in May–June (June–July in the Polar Ural). The south-eastern rivers are much narrower and may dry up in summer. Rivers are fed by melting snow and precipitations. The largest lakes are on the east of the Central and Southern Urals. They include Tawatui, [[Argazi Reservoir|Argazi]], Uvildy and [[Lake Turgoyak|Turgoyak]]. The deepest lake (136 m) is Bolshoe Schuchye. Rivers and lakes are used as a water supply, transport routes and for waterlogging. Some rivers have dams forming the [[Kama Reservoir|Kama]] and [[Votkinsk Reservoir]]s.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=brit/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Flora==&lt;br /&gt;
The landscapes of Urals change both in the latitudinal and vertical directions and are dominated by steppes and forests. Steppes lie mostly in the southern and especially south-eastern Urals. Meadow steppes have developed in the lower parts of mountain slopes and are covered with various [[clover]]s, [[Serratula|daisies]], [[filipendula]], [[Poa pratensis|meadow-grass]] and [[foxtail millet]], reaching the height of 60–80&amp;amp;nbsp;cm. Many lands are cultivated. Moving to the south, the meadow steppes become more sparse, dry and low. The steep gravelly slopes of mountains and hills of eastern slopes of the Southern Ural are mostly covered with rocky steppes. Valleys of the rivers contain [[willow]], [[Populus|poplar]] and [[caragana]] shrubs.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Forest landscapes of Urals are diverse, especially the southern part. The western areas are dominated by dark coniferous taiga forests which change to mixed and deciduous forests on the south. The eastern mountain slopes have light coniferous taiga forests. Southern Ural is most diverse in the forest composition; here together with coniferous forests also abundant are other tree species such as [[larch]], [[oak]], [[birch]], [[maple]] and [[elm]]. The Northern Ural is dominated by Siberian species of [[fir]], [[Cedrus|cedar]], [[spruce]] and [[pine]]. Forests are much more sparse in [[Polar Ural]]. Whereas in other Ural Mountains areas they grow up to the heights of 1&amp;amp;nbsp;km, the forests cease at 250–400 m in the Polar Urals. The polar forests are low and are mixed with [[swamp]]s, [[lichen]]s, [[bog]]s and shrubs. Abundant are [[Betula nana|dwarf birch]], [[moss]]es and berries ([[blueberry]], [[Rubus chamaemorus|cloudberry]], [[Empetrum nigrum|black crowberry]], etc.).&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fauna==&lt;br /&gt;
Ural forests are inhabited by animals typical of [[Siberia]], such as [[elk]], brown [[bear]], [[fox]], [[wolf]], [[wolverine]], [[lynx]], [[squirrel]] and [[sable]] (north only). In the Central Ural, one can meet a rare mixture of [[sable]] and pine [[marten]] named [[kidus]]. In the Southern Ural frequent are [[European badger|badger]] and [[European polecat|black polecat]]. Reptiles and amphibians live mostly in the Southern and Central Ural and are represented by the [[common viper]], lizards and [[Natrix|grass snake]]s. Bird species are represented by [[Western capercaillie|capercaillie]], [[black grouse]], [[hazel grouse]], [[spotted nutcracker]] and cuckoos. In the summer, South and Central Urals are visited by songbirds, such as [[nightingale]] and [[redstart]].&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=brit/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steppes of the Southern Urals are dominated by [[hare]]s and [[rodent]]s such as [[Gopher (animal)|gophers]], [[Spermophilus|susliks]] and [[jerboa]]. There are many birds of prey such as [[lesser kestrel]] and [[buzzard]]s. The animals of the Polar Ural are characteristic of the [[tundra]] and include fox, [[lemming]] and [[reindeer]]. The birds of those areas include [[rough-legged buzzard]], [[snowy owl]] and [[rock ptarmigan]].&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=brit/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Astronomical events==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2013 Russian meteor event ===&lt;br /&gt;
At around 9:20 a.m. on Friday, February 15, 2013, an astronomical incident occurred, known as the [[2013 Russian meteor event]]. A fiery meteor, roughly 55 feet wide, weighing at least 10,000 tons and traveling at a speed of 30,000 miles per hour, burst through earth's atmosphere over the Ural Mountains. The news media reported that the meteor's deafening shock wave packed the punch of a 500-kiloton explosion, and was so powerful that it shattered windows and collapsed walls, damaging 4,000 buildings and injuring 1,491 people, the majority of whom were caught in the shards of flying glass. Of the people injured, 311 were children who were at school at the time. Small rocky meteorite fragments were discovered near an eight-metre crater, believed to have been created by the impact, in an ice-covered reservoir near the town of Chebarkul. The overall resulting damage from the shock wave was estimated at $33,000,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ural Character.jpg|thumb|An ancient carving of an elk.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The first people appeared on the Ural at the end of the Early Paleolithic period (about 75 thousand years ago). Several sites were discovered from the late Paleolithic (35–10 thousand years ago) including the [[Kapova Cave]]. In the Neolithic period, tribes have formed which became the basis of the Uralic language community, and mixed (Mongoloid, europoid) anthropological type. Around the same time, farming and [[animal husbandry]] develop in the Southern Ural. Manufacture of copper and bronze started in the early 2nd millennium BC and production of iron was developed around the 8th–7th centuries BC.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Medezavodmiass.jpg|thumb|Dam of the copper smelter in [[Miass]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the beginning of the 2nd millennium, the primitive society of Ural started transforming to feudal relations. Around the 14th century, the feudal state [[Great Perm]] was created west to the Northern Ural. Russian started moving to Ural in the 11th century, mostly from the Novgorod areas. They became active around the 14th century when a number of settlements were established in the Northern Ural and attributed to [[Veliky Novgorod]]. Their ownership went to the Moscow state in 1471, together with lands around the [[Kama River]]. After the defeat of [[Khanate of Kazan]] in 1552, the Russian influence expanded to the most parts of [[Bashkortostan]] and [[Udmurtia]].&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:1910Верх-исетский завод.jpg|thumb|Iset ironworks factory near Yekaterinburg, established in 1726 (photo of 1910).]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the 17th century, Ural became inhabited by Slavs who brought advanced farming technique and craftsmanship. This changed the lifestyle of the area and quenches the past armed conflicts. Grain-based agriculture, small-scale industries (wood, leather, pottery, blacksmithing, etc.) and a network of markets spread over Ural. The salt industry was developed in [[Solikamsk]]. At the same time, the national and social oppression started of the indigenous people of the area, such as [[Mansi people|Mansi]], [[Khanty people|Khanty]] and [[Bashkirs]].&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Orenburg cossacks with camels.jpg|thumb|Orenburg Cossacks with camels, 19th century.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the 17th century rich and high-quality mineral deposits were discovered in the Ural region. First iron and copper smelters were founded by the mid-17th century. The area was recognized by the Russian government as a strategic source of raw materials. More than 60 factories were built in the first half of the 18th century and this number doubled in the 1750–60s. The industrial activity declined in the early 19th century due to the crisis of the feudal system in Russia, and the growth slowed down in all areas except for the gold mining. The largest industrial and commercial centers were [[Perm]], [[Yekaterinburg]], [[Orenburg]], [[Ufa]], [[Kungur]] and [[Irbit]]. Irbit hosted the biggest fair of the Urals. In the 1840s, regular commercial navigation started on the Kama River.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Magnitogorsk steel production facility 1930s.jpg|thumb|[[Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works]] in the 1920s–30s.]]&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of the [[Emancipation reform of 1861]], most Ural farmers lost more than half of their personal lands. First joint-stock companies appeared on the Ural in the second half of the 19th century, including those with foreign capital. Many old ironworks were reconstructed and a number of new ones were built. The development accelerated not only in the traditional gold and platinum industries, but also in the coal mining and engineering. Mechanical factories were established in  Yekaterinburg, Perm, [[Izhevsk]] and others cities, and chemical industry was developed in Berezniki. Nevertheless, Ural lost its status of the main metallurgical area to the South of Russia. The end of 19th century saw a rapid growth of the Ural cities and of the anti-capitalist movements. The long-term exploitation of the factory workers resulted in establishment of Social Democratic committees demanding improvements of working conditions. Those activities peaked around the period of the political collapse of the 1910s in Russia. This brought a severe industrial crisis, fuel shortages, disruption of transport, reduction of agricultural production and the deterioration of the life conditions. The [[October Revolution]] brought numerous benefits to the workers, but was followed by the years of Civil Wars (1917–19). The situation improved only after 1920. In 1920–21, the industrial production was at the 12% level of that in 1913, but by 1925–26 it recovered to 93% and in 1937 reached 700%. New giant plants were raised in [[Magnitogorsk]] (1932, iron and steel production), Bereznikovskiy (1932, Chemistry), [[Yekaterinburg|Sverdlovsk]] (1933, Heavy Machinery), [[Chelyabinsk]] (1933, tractors), Solikamsk (1934, [[potassium]]), [[Krasnokamsk]] (1936, pulp and paper), [[Novotagilsk]] (metallurgy) and others. In 1929, oil was discovered in the Kama River basin and its production began in 1932 in Bashkortostan.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During [[World War II]] (1941–45) Ural became the industrial backbone of Russia as most important industrial enterprises were evacuated there from the western Russia occupied by Germans. From the summer to winter of 1941, 667 factories were moved to Ural and by the end of 1941 Ural accounted for 62% of the Soviet iron production. The Ural's industrial production increased 3 times in 1943 relatively to 1941 and the military production increased 6 times. During the war, Ural accounted for 40% of the Soviet military production. Three Ural's plants gave 66% of Soviet tanks and mobile artillery units. The annual increase of production was about 50%. In 1946, most plants were converted into non-military directions.&amp;lt;ref name=bse/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ethnic composition==&lt;br /&gt;
The Northern Urals is home to [[Uralic languages|Uralic]] speaking people like [[Udmurt people|Udmurts]], [[Mari people|Mari]], [[Komi peoples|Komi]], [[Mansi people|Mansi]] and [[Khanty people]]. The indigenous population of the Polar Urals consists of the [[Nenets people|Nenets]] and [[Samoyedic peoples]] who are widespread through the Siberia and have their own languages. [[Bashkirs]] form the largest indigenous group of the region. They live in the Southern Ural and speak a language of the Turkic group. Kazakhs are another significant national fraction of the Southern Ural. Many northern tribals still continue their traditional activities, including fishing, hunting and animal husbandry (reindeer). The nomadic people of the south used to breed horses, but are mostly settled now and are involved in agriculture, especially growth of wheat, potato, melons and watermelons. The majority of the Urals population (about 80%) is however Russians, who are mostly concentrated in the cities of the Central and Southern Urals and are involved in the industry.&amp;lt;ref name=brit/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The table (see also maps above) reveals that the Ural Federal District and Ural economical region are rather different entities, which geographically differ from the Urals, even though the Urals is not well defined geographically. In particular, those entities include parts of Volga and Siberia, and do not include areas belonging to [[Kazakhstan]]. Meanwhile, the southern part of the Ural Mountains (including [[Mugodzhar Hills|Mugodzhar Mountains]]) does belong to Kazakhstan.&amp;lt;ref name=brit&amp;gt;[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/619028/Ural-Mountains Ural Mountains], Encyclopædia Britannica on-line&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Qajymuqan Munaitpasuly''' ({{lang-kz|Қажымұқан Мұңайтпасов}}; {{lang-ru|Хаджимукан Мунайтпасов}}, 7 April 1871 – 12 August 1948), also known as '''Hadjimukan Munaytpasov''', was a [[Kazakh people|Kazakh]] [[wrestling|wrestler]] and repeated World Champion in [[Greco-Roman wrestling]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qajymuqan Munaytpasuly was born in 1871, in Karaotkyel village in [[Akmola Province]], [[Russian Empire]]. He was 194 cm tall and weighed 139 kg. He fought in 54 countries, won 48 [[medal]]s. One of the most important moments in his career was in 1910, when he was awarded the gold medal in [[Buenos Aires]] and became World Champion for the first time. One of his famous victories was the defeat of [[Japan]]ese [[Jujutsu|jiu-jitsu]] master Harakiki Jindofu, who did not survive the fatal injury of the spine he received during the fight.&lt;br /&gt;
Several times he was not allowed to be in the Russian National team due to the Russian Empire's discriminatory policy, therefore he participated in international competitions on behalf of Manchuria with the Japanese name Yamagata Makhanura. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He died on 12 August 1948 in ''Lyeninskoe znamya'' [[kolkhoz]] ([[South Kazakhstan Province]]), without any disciples and learners and leaving his four wives in [[Turkestan]]. In 1980 a museum was opened in his honor. There are also Qajymuqan's streets in [[Almaty]], [[Astana]] and [[Semey]]. Two [[Russia]]n films were based on his life's history: ''Haji-Mukan'' (1978) and ''Know ours!'' (1985; starring Bakhytjan Esjanov, Gyeorgiy Khachaturovich and Aleksandr Pankratov-Chorny).&lt;br /&gt;

Mohammed Ayub told interviewers he found the conditions in Guantanamo so harsh that he dropped from 164 to 105 pounds, and that he was so hungry he was reduced to eating orange peels.&lt;br /&gt;
He told interviewers captives were punished harshly for small infractions, like having an extra napkin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In spite of his treatment in Guantanamo Mohammed Ayub told reporters he would still like to move to the USA.&amp;lt;ref name=McClatchyMohammedAyub/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He has relatives who live in America, and in 2001 he had a student visa for the USA.  But a friend he was traveling with did not, and he decided to postpone his travel until his friend had a visa too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mohammed Ayub described the interrogations the captives went through when Chinese security officials visited Guantanamo as:&amp;lt;ref name=McClatchyAbuBaqrQassim&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{Quotation|&amp;quot;...nothing more than threats. They told me they knew my family, where I'd lived, when I'd left China, where I'd traveled. I would be imprisoned if I ever tried to return to China. It was frightening, they got to us inside that place.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
