Slide text: UZBEKISTAN The coat of arms of Uzbekistan was developed taking into account the centuries-old national and state experience and traditions. Adopted on July 2, 1992 In the center of the emblem there is a Humo bird with outstretched wings - in Uzbek mythology, a symbol of happiness and love of freedom. In the upper part of the emblem there is an octahedron, symbolizing the establishment of the republic, inside - a crescent with a star. The image of the sun symbolizes the light that illuminates the path of the Uzbek state, and also emphasizes the unique natural and climatic conditions of the republic. The two rivers depicted under the bird are the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya, which flow through the territory of Uzbekistan. Ears are a symbol of bread, stems with open cotton bolls characterize the main wealth of Uzbekistan. Together, the ears and bolls of cotton, intertwined with the ribbon of the State Flag, symbolize the consolidation of the peoples living in the republic.

Slide text: UKRAINE A new page in Ukrainian heraldry was opened by the Decree "On the State Emblem of Ukraine" adopted on February 19, 1992 by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which approved the "Trident as the small coat of arms of Ukraine" and, accordingly, the main element of the large coat of arms. Since the most distant times, the trident has been revered as a magical sign, a kind of amulet. During the time of Kievan Rus, the trident becomes a grand-princely sign. The ambassadors of the Kyiv prince Igor (912-945), when drawing up an agreement with the Byzantines, had their seals with tridents. Prince of Kyiv Vladimir Svyatoslavovich (980-1015) minted a trident on coins, where a portrait of the ruler was depicted on one side, and a trident on the other. The trident symbolized the division of the Universe into heavenly, earthly and otherworldly, the union of the Divine, Fatherly and Motherly - sacred principles, three natural elements - air, water and earth.

Class hour "CIS"

COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES

COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES (CIS),
community of former republics of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Formed in accordance with the agreement signed on December 8, 1991 in Viskuli (the seat of the government of Belarus) by the leaders of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine, as well as with the protocol to the said agreement, which was signed on December 21, 1991 in Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan) by the leaders of 11 -ty republics of the former USSR: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyzstan), Moldova (Moldova), Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine.

Slide #14

Mineral resource potential
The mineral resource potential of the CIS countries includes almost all types of minerals. Extraction, use (processing) and export of mineral resources is one of the main types of economic activity for many Commonwealth states.
The CIS countries as a whole occupy one of the first places in the world in terms of explored resources of gas, oil, coal, iron and manganese ore, many non-ferrous metals, potash salts and other important types of minerals.
The main part of the reserves of coal, oil, natural gas, peat and oil shale falls on the Russian Federation. Significant coal reserves are in Kazakhstan and Ukraine, oil - Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, natural gas - Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Small oil reserves have also been explored in Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Slide #15

Almost all chrome ores are concentrated in Kazakhstan, manganese ore is concentrated in Ukraine and Kazakhstan; in Russia, the reserves of these minerals are relatively small. More than half of the iron ore reserves are located on the territory of Russia. Russia and Kazakhstan have the largest resources of non-ferrous metal ores; almost all the reserves of bauxite, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten, nickel, as well as most of the resources of copper and molybdenum are concentrated in these states (Armenia and Uzbekistan also have significant reserves of the last two metals).
Russia accounts for more than a quarter of the total reserves of phosphorites in the CIS and more than half of the reserves of potassium salts, which are the main types of mineral agrochemical raw materials. Large resources of phosphorites are also available in Kazakhstan, potash salts - in Belarus, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and the states of Transcaucasia practically do not have mineral agrochemical raw materials.

Slide #16

In general, the Commonwealth states rank second in the world (after Brazil) in terms of average annual river runoff, and also have significant potential exploitable groundwater reserves and water resources of lakes, but these water resources are unevenly distributed over the territory of the states, which is explained by different climatic, geographical, geological and hydrological conditions of individual regions.
The most arid are the territories of deserts, semi-deserts and dry steppes of the states of Central Asia and Kazakhstan, as well as the Lower Volga region of the Russian Federation. The south of Ukraine (including the steppe part of the Crimea), a significant part of Moldova and a number of other regions in individual states are also insufficiently provided with fresh water.
About 90% of the average annual river flow falls on the Russian Federation. The total volume of water in the lakes (including those bordering with non-CIS countries) is over 100 trillion cubic meters. At the same time, water reserves in fresh lakes amount to 25 trillion cubic meters, 91% of which falls on Lake Baikal.
