GIS-MODELING OF LAKE ONEGO SHORELINE IN THE HOLOCENE AND LATE PLEISTOCENE

The application of GIS software for reconstruction of Lake Onego shoreline in the Holocene and the Late Pleistocene presented. Reconstruction was originated from the ideas of the Lake Onego depression deglaciation model proposed by I. Demidov [1] and the data of E. Deviatova [2] concerning Lake Onego depression isostatic uplift in the Holocene. ArcGIS software was used to perform GIS-modelling which was based on the original digital elevation model of the lakebed and its watershed. Twelve digital paleogeographic maps were developed as a result. Paleogeographic maps were verified by hand-drawn images of I. Demidov and E. Deviatova and by matching the lake shoreline and the position of archeological sites. Maps are available on-line in the electronic form [3]. The surface area of the Lake was determined at different stages of its development. The quantitative data obtained in this study is valuable for estimation of the lake volumes and the rates of discharge in the past

Noospheric Vocation of Greater Eurasia in the XXI Century

The article reveals the theoretical position on the noospheric vocation of “Greater Eurasia” in the 21st century. Opposition to the “Big West” as a global imperialism system of the world financial capitalocracy on the part of Greater Eurasia acquires a noospheric and socialist “dimension” in the 21st century. Russia is called upon to head the Noosphere Breakthrough of humanity in the XXI century, as a Eurasian civilization, occupying an important place in the Greater Eurasia’s structure, and as the birthplace of the socialism first appearance in the world and the doctrine of the Biosphere transition into the Noosphere by V. I. Vernadsky, and as a center of stability and instability in the world. Greater Eurasia is called upon to become the “locomotive” of noospheresocialist transformations of the human existence foundations. The alternative to this is the death of mankind, which is market-capitalistic for reasons and ecological for foundations

Russia — a Eurasian Civilization

The article argues that Russia as a “Eurasian civilization”, precisely as a “Eurasian” one, is the only civilization in the world. In the process of civilizational-Eurasian genesis, the historical synthesis of the “Western” (European) and “Eastern” (Asian) principles, expressed in its special value genome, is performed in it. Due to the “cold” climate in the Eurasian territory occupied by Russia, it is the highest energy-cost civilization and, therefore, — a civilization with the dominant role of the cooperation law. The Russian people, due to the peculiarity of their value aspirations, which F. M. Dostoevsky defined as “all-humanity”, became the founder of Russian civilization and the bearer of polyethnic cooperation (the Russian super-ethnos according to L. N. Gumilyov). As a “civilization of the Truth”, Russia is called upon to become a leader in the implementation of the noospheric strategy of mankind ecological survival, outside of which ecological destruction awaits them in the 21st century
