Abstract:
Considered in the paper, is the analysis of water quality data in the various areas of the Volga River, including urban regions. As the bio-indicators of pollution we used mollusca of the family Unionidae, which are characterized by a high capacity of metal concentrations Chemical analysis was carried out by means of atomic absorption spectrometry. The main stream of the Volga River 80 km upstream of Astrakhan was chosen as a reference area. The most polluted areas were revealed and recommendations for the effective use of geo-environmental monitoring methods were given.

Abstract:
The research is focused on the delta area of the Volga river. Our study was conducted during the period from May to September in the years 2011 and 2012. We examined about 80 trees Ulmus laevis and Fraxinus excelsior. Ten species of lichen belonging to the familes Teloschistaceae, Rhysciaceae, genera Caloplaca, Xanthoria, Physcia, Lepraria were found in the control biotope. During the study period, all trees were characterized by a high degree of projective cover from 45.7 % to 96.2 % in 2011 and from 47.1 to 100 % in 2012. Lichens growing in the area of conventional control had bright color of the thallus. The index value of clean air was 14.8 in 2011 and 14.1 in 2012. The studied sites were divided into three areas: area of the severe pollution, area of the average pollution and favorable area.

Abstract:
Historical facts and documents witness that the ancestors of the modern Turkic peoples had its statism long before our era. They contributed to the world civilization by developing original material and spiritual culture. Historical and cultural heritage of ancient Turkic states and residing in these states Turkic ethnic groups is the common heritage of modern civilization and Turkic peoples. The paper focuses at historic, geographic, ethno-geographic and socio-geographic aspects of the development of the Turkic peoples as well as on the views of L.S. Berg and V.I. Vernadsky on the problem of interaction between ethnic groups and landscapes and on the biosocial theory of ethnogenesis developed by L.N. Gumilev.
