Russia, FIFA 2018 World cup cover,

This cover I got with the FIFA 2018 World cup stamp. The wolf is picked as the animal sign for this time. 

This flower maxicard was sent inside the cover. I still remember my days in France, one day in spring, I got out of my domitory in the freezing weather, but I could see somewhere in the yard this flower was blooming. I falled in love with this flower immediatlu. They look so awesome. In french, it is called "Perce-neige". 

She offered this card as well. A very nice one with the rooster on. I don't know about the story about the man and the rooster on card but I think it should be interesting. I used it with the rooster year stamp of Vietnam, dropped the postmark of last day of 2017 from my hometown, during my holiday.

Thank you so much Olga!

Lake Baikal

UNESCO site
Date of Inscription: 1996
Country: Russian Federation

Situated in south-east Siberia, the 3.15-million-ha Lake Baikal is the oldest (25 million years) and deepest (1,700 m) lake in the world. It contains 20% of the world's total unfrozen freshwater reserve. Known as the 'Galapagos of Russia', its age and isolation have produced one of the world's richest and most unusual freshwater faunas, which is of exceptional value to evolutionary science.

The Committee inscribed Lake Baikal as the most outstanding example of a freshwater ecosystem on the basis of natrual criteria (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x). It is the oldest and deepest of the world´s lakes containing nearly 20% of the world´s unfrozen freshwater reserve. The lake contains an outstanding variety of endemic flora and fauna, which is of exceptional value to evolutionary science. It is also surrounded by a system of protected areas that have high scenic and other natural values. The Committee took note of the confirmation of the revised boundaries of the site, which correspond to the core areas defined in the Baikal Law (excluding the five urban developed areas). It also noted that the special Lake Baikal Law is now in its second reading in the Duma. Finally, it noted concern over a number of integrity issues including pollution, which should be brought to the attention of the Russian authorities.
