Russian language East Slavic language

Russian is an East Slavic language, which is official in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as being widely used throughout Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It was the de facto language of the Soviet Union until its dissolution on 25 December 1991. Although, nowadays, over two decades after the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russian is used in official capacity or in public life in all the post-Soviet nation-states, as well as in Israel and Mongolia, the rise of state-specific varieties of this language tends to be strongly denied in Russia, in line with the Russian World ideology.

The classification system of the types of inhabited localities in Russia, the former Soviet Union, and some other post-Soviet states has certain peculiarities compared with the classification systems in other countries.

Urban-type settlement is an official designation for a semi-urban settlement, used in several Eastern European countries. The term was historically used in Bulgaria, Poland, and the Soviet Union, and remains in use today in 10 of the post-Soviet states.

History

Sosnovy Bor was founded in 1959 as Sebezh-5. It was a settlement serving a secret military installation. On September 1, 1997, the installation was abolished in accordance with the START II treaty. On December 18, 1997, Sebezh-5 was renamed Sosnovy Bor and transformed into a work settlement. [7] The military facilities were transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be used as a prison. [8]

START II contract

START II was a bilateral treaty between the United States of America and Russia on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms. It was signed by United States President George H. W. Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin on 3 January 1993, banning the use of multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Hence, it is often cited as the De-MIRV-ing Agreement. Despite negotiations, it never entered into effect. It was ratified by the U.S. Senate on 26 January 1996 with a vote of 87-4. Russia ratified START II on 14 April 2000, but on 14 June 2002, withdrew from the treaty in response to U.S. withdrawal from the ABM Treaty.

In 2006, Sosnovy Bor was included into a border security zone, intended to protect the borders of Russia from unwanted activity, but in 2007 it was removed from the zone. [9]

A Border Security Zone in Russia is the designation of a strip of land where economic activity and access are restricted in line with the Frontier Regime Regulations set by the Federal Security Service. For foreign tourists to visit the zone a permit issued by the local FSB department is required.

Economy

Sosnovy Bor is a location of a large prison and provides the corresponding infrastructure. [10]
