Answer 5

Lipetsk Region
// GENERAL INFORMATION
The whole country knows Lipetsk as a city of metallurgists and tractor builders, the native city of Georgy Plekhanov [1856-1918; Russian social philosopher known as the Father of Russian Marxism] and Andrei Zhelyabov [member of the People's Will who took part in the assassination attempts on Alexander II; he was hanged on April 3, 1881, along with the other conspirators], and one of the oldest cities in Russia's Black Earth region.



Emblem
Lipetsk Region is part of the Central Black Earth economic district situated on the central part of the Russian Plain. Its economic advantages are the result of its closeness to industrially developed regions, its borders with Ukraine and Belarus, and its location at the intersection of the country's main transportation routes providing stable economic ties with other Russian regions, as well as with neighboring countries.



Flag
The region has a temperate continental climate with an average January temperature of -9.6°C and an average July temperature of +19°C. Nearly 70% of the annual precipitation (450-550 mm) falls in the warm season. The sun shines an average of 2120 hours per year.

Lipetsk Region has a complex of nearly 300 explored deposits of economic minerals. The mineral waters and peat mud of the Lipetsk resort are renowned throughout the country. The Galichya Mountain (Galichya Gora) Reserve established in 1925 and the Usman pine forest of the Voronezh Biosphere Preserve attract both Russian and foreign visitors.

The region was formed as a result of the breakup of several regions in 1954. Today, it consists of 18 rural districts and 8 cities (Lipetsk, Elets, Gryazi, Dankov, Zadonsk, Lebedyan, Usman, and Chaplygin). It has an area of 24 100 km2 and extends 200 km from north to south and 150 km from west to east. The border is more than 900 km long.

The population of Lipetsk Region is 1 239 900 people, about 802 000 of whom are urban residents. Lipetsk (pop. about 521 000) is naturally the largest population center. The region's population density is 51.7 people per km2. Russians make up the majority of the population.

The able-bodied comprise 56% of the population; nearly half the people in this group have higher or secondary education. There is a high demand for skilled workers on the labor market. The population of the region as a whole, as well as the city of Lipetsk, consists mainly of young people with an average age of 25-40; however, the demographic situation is the same as in most regions of European Russia. The region's population is decreasing, and natural increase cannot even ensure simple replacement of the population, because the death rate exceeds the birth rate.

The city of Lipetsk is a large cultural, educational, and industrial center. There are seven higher educational institutions, a large number of regular schools, kindergartens, private general education schools, and a polytechnical university. Lipetsk residents take great care of their accumulated cultural heritage through an extensive network of cultural facilities. The restoration of old churches, monasteries, aristocratic estates, and other historical and cultural monuments is also underway.

The economic potential of Lipetsk Region is based on diversified industrial production, dominated by ferrous metallurgy, which accounts for 60% of the gross regional product.

The soils in Lipetsk Region are predominantly fertile black earths (chernozems), which cover 85% of its territory and are capable of yielding large harvests. There are additional smaller areas of gray forest and sod-podzolic soils. Wheat, barley, other cereal crops, and legumes are all grown here. Livestock farming specializes in cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, and poultry. The processing industry is also well developed.

Three main railway lines pass through the region, and modern highways connect Lipetsk with all adjoining central regions, as well as with federal highways, which allow shipment of goods to all parts of the region and the country.

The Lipetsk airport can receive all classes of planes, and a modern communications system allows rapid and reliable connections to any point on earth.

The region has excellent prospects. There is a possibility of a joint Russian-Finnish venture in the near future. The Finns have expressed interest in setting up a plant to produce engines for the prospective LTZ155 tractor model, which was designed in Lipetsk and is also produced there. This idea has the support of the RF Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Finnish Ministry of Industry, and the leadership of Lipetsk Region is interested as well. The used of the skilled but cheaper labor, cumulative experience, and scientific achievements of Lipetsk Region will give foreign partners undoubted advantages on both Russian and world markets.
