Venue and Location:

Voronezh and Moscow have a convenient train connection (night train). There are daily direct flights to Voronezh from Moscow and many other cities. At the end of May , the weather is generally very good with sun and long hours of daylight. The day-time temperature is expected to be around 20 - 25 C, night temperature 12 - 17 C. There are Opera and Ballet Theatre, some other theaters and concert halls. There are many other tourist attractions, museums, history and religion memorials. Voronezh is cradle of the Russian military fleet. Near Voronezh is disposed the famous Chrenov stud (Russian Orlov's trotters) and the Beaver preserve. Wild boars, foxes, deers, elks and beavers abound in this Russian wildlife reserve.

More about Voronezh

Archeologists have discovered here the remainings of ancient Slavonic settlements, dating back over a thousand years!

In 1586 a fortress Voronezh was built here to defend Moscow against nomadic tribes from the South. At the end of XVII century by Peter the First's order the construction of the first Russian fleet started on the Voronezh river. It was the beginning of Voronezh development. During World War II the city was almost completely destroyed. Still there are many old buildings which were restored, so it does not look completely modern. Nowadays Voronezh is one of the largest Russian cities with population of about one million.

Voronezh has the State University, a variety of institutes, a lot of industrial plants. Local industry produces the Illyushin 86 and 96 aircrafts, heavy power presses, modern excavators, railway bridges sections, chemical products (especially synthetic rubber), medical equipment, colour TV sets and video systems, equipment for agriculture and the food industry, food products. An nuclear power plant stands just outside the town. 

Voronezh is located on the bank of R. Voronezh, 12 km from the point where it joins the Don. Its name comes from voron (raven) and its ancient coat-of-arms shows a raven perched upon a gun. Archaeologists have found that Slav tribes have inhabited this region for the past 1000 years and the area is mentioned in chronicles of 1177. In 1586 a fortress was built here as a link in the chain of defences called the Belgorod Line, across the Don Steppes, which was designed to stop Tatar raids. The fortress guarding the south-eastern border of the Moscow state stood on the high right bank of the river, and beyond it stretched "the wild field", the limitless steppe.

Voronezh was important as the point where prisoners of war were exchanged, as the place where foreign ambassadors were greeted as they traveled up the R.Don, and also where they took their leave when their missions were accomplished. Its location beside the waterway leading to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov led to the town's rapid growth and by the 17th century it had become the center for trade with the south. Bishop Mitrophan, who died in 1703 and was later canonised, was influential in its development and so was Peter the Great who first visited Voronezh in 1694 and was struck by its strategic location. 

The following year, when he had failed to take the Turkish fortress of Azov, Peter proclaimed, "Any potentate who has infantry only is one handed; he who has also a fleet has two hands" and Voronezh accordingly became a shipyard. Shipbuilders came from far and near to construct see-going vessels. Peter himself travelled to Holland and to England to study the profession and invited shipwrights to Voronezh from both countries. The new fleet was built in record time and in 1696 Peter, as captain of the "Principium", led his fleet to capture Azov.

Voronezh lies in the black soil region which has long been Russia's breadbasket. Consequently most of the town's trade was at first in grain, but later the exports of wool and fat increased considerably. Voronezh was also celebrated for its cattle and particularly for its horses; Russian Trotters originated here. 

Foreigners who settled in the town brought their own architectural styles with them. There were wide-roofed Swiss houses with balconies, narrow-windowed English cottages, and the Dutch houses with their pointed roofs, although built of wood, were painted over to resemble brick. Open fireplaces caused a great sensation and indeed a local historian described the new buildings as "a real miracle". Voronezh was one of the first Russian towns to conform to Peter's innovations and reforms during his compaign to modernise his country, including such recommendations as that those of noble birth discard traditional dress and adopt French fashions. Most of the buildings put up in Peter's time were destroyed in a great fire in 1748, including a palace and the houses that belonged to foreigners.

At the end of the 19th century the town's industry began to catch up with its flourishing trade. New factories were built on the left bank of the river, including a synthetic rubber plunt. During the 1905 Revolution, local workers rebelled and in the civil war which followed the 1917 Revolution the town changed hands several times. The local Jews suffered much from the pogroms.

Voronezh was a front-line town during the Second World War. The German army occupied the right bank of the river but were unable to cross it, so for several months the place was the site of continuous fighting. Only Stalingrad and Sevastopol were riddled with more mines than Voronezh. 92% of the houses (a total of 18,000 buildings) were burned down and after the liberation the place was like one enormous minefield. A further 58,000 unexploded mines were detected among the rubble.

After the war many old buildings were reconstructed to preserve the town's original appearance. The main street is Revolution Prospect, formerly Great Noble's St., which ran for more than 2 km parallel to the river. No.22 in this street is the building of the Governor's House which was built in 1725. Nearby is Petrovsky Garden with a statue of Peter the Great by Gavrilov; it was put up in 1956 in the place of another statue of Peter which had been erected in 1860 but was desroyed during the war. There is a pleasant fountain behind the statue.

During the early 1930s a number of buildings in Constructivist style were put up along this street: the House of Books, Communications House, and the offices of the South-Eastern Railway. They too were badly damaged but have been restored. At the southern of the street is the House of Trade, built in 1934 by Popov-Shaman and popularly known as the Smoothing Iron because of its shape.

Voronezh has ten higher education institutions, including the University which was opened in 1918 when Dorpat University and the Agricultural Institute (founded in 1913) were both evacuated here from Tartu, Estonia.

Not far from the river stands Peter the Great Arsenal, having survived all the the disasters that have befallen the town. On the left bank is the newer part of Voronezh, founded in 1928. It is an industrial area, now stretching along the river for 16 km. One of its main thoroughfares is Heroes-of-the-Stratosphere St.

Voronezh is also a city of science and students. There are 20 Higher and secondary education establishments where several thousands of young people study. Students, post graduate students and trainees from 54 countries obtain their education here. Voronezh State University is one of the leading institutions of higher education.

Voronezh has rich cultural traditions. There are theatres: the Drama Theatre, the Opera Theatre and the Ballet, unique puppet show and the Young spectators Theatre; a circus; the Voronezh Russian Song and Dance Ensemble; Philharmonic Society; museums; the Picture-Gallery with the paintings created by Nicolai Rerikh and our great compatriot Ivan Kramskoi; libraries and reading rooms. It is the birthplace of the world famous writers Andrei Platonov and the Nobel Prize winner Ivan Bunin, the poet Osip Mandelshtam was exiled here.

Additional Information

Details of ICARSM'99 Troubles

But... But... But...

Unfortunately, an unexpected situation has developed in April, when all working materials of conference were unlawfully (as we believe) excepted by the Voronezh police from the conference office and the financial accounts of the main organizer and financial sponsor (VCB AD with Dr. V. Sergeev as the Head) were unlawfully completely blocked.

The reason consists of doing usual police service investigation in connection with a lawsuite agains the VCB AD company, but our conference has nothing to do with that, that is why we think that such operations of the police are illegal.

This means, anyway, that ICARSM cannot be held in May 1999 and we are forced to postpone this conference for one year.

**************************************************************
We bring the most deep apologies to all the authors and potential participants in this connection.
**************************************************************

Dr. V. Sergeev has informed teh TPC that ICARSM'99 Proceedings (including all accepted papers) will be issued on CD-ROM before June 30, 1999. This will be done only in the case if illegal actions of Voronezh police office will be stopped.
Please confirm your agreement with publishing your papers on CD-ROM ICARSM'99 Proceedings to Conference Chair.

We are ready to organize a special WORKSHOP for listening and discussing the ICARSM99 papers in Moscow at the end of May or in the first half of June. We ask all wishing to participate to signal urgently to dsazonov@postman.ru. The visa support will be provided after receiving of a request letter via email. The Organizing Committee is ready to help in Russia to all coming participants according to their personal requests.

Our deepest apologies once again. We hope that the ICARSM conferences in Russia will be hold in the future.
