You need to contact the Uzbek embassy - or better, get your employer to. By the way, they have a disgusting record on human rights, and the UK ambassador there got sacked for saying so. Check out www.craigmurray.com

i don't think it's currently the number as much as it's the location.. people are multiplying in regions incapable of sustaining them. ironically, birthrates are often decreased in agrarian areas.

Kurash - the traditional upright jacket wrestling which originated in Uzbekistan more than 3500 years ago. The original translation of the word "Kurash" from the Uzbek language is grappling or wrestling. Kurash as a type of martial art or public sport entertainment is mentioned in many ancient oriental historical sources. The legendary 1000 years old Central Asian epos Alpomish describes Kurash as one of the most respected and beloved sports widely practiced by ancient people in Central Asia. Many ancient and Medieval philosophers and historians mention Kurash in their manuscripts and books. The great oriental scientist and philosopher Avetsena writes that practicing Kurash is one the best ways to keep the human body and mind healthy and sound. Still there is no exact information when, where and by whom Kurash was first practiced. But most of the scientists agree on that Kurash is one of the most ancient forms of martial arts people had ever practiced. \n\nThe new wave of Kurash development started in IX century AD. At that time people of Central Asia enjoyed Kurash as a form of public entertainment and recreation during major social events, like traditional holidays, wedding parties and feasts. Later Kurash emerged from entertainment to become a sporting competition and a form of physical training. The names of the strongest Kurash players became legendary, like the Pahlavan Mahmud who lived in XII century. His grave located in one of the regions of Uzbekistan is still considered by people of Central Asia as a holy pilgrimage place. In XIV century one of the greatest conquerors and statesmen in human civilization Timur used Kurash to train and to improve the physical condition of his soldiers. Its well known that the army of Timur was unbeatable and the strongest in the world at that time. \n\nYears passed by and Kurash became one of the most respected and popular traditions in Central Asia, especially in Uzbekistan. Its true to say Kurash is in the bones of the Uzbek people. Children inherit their love for Kurash from their fathers. Presently there are at least two million people who constantly practice Kurash in Uzbekistan itself. The number of fans and amateur followers of this sport is simply indeterminable. \n\nApproximately two decades ago Komil Yusupov, well known Uzbek Kurash, judo and sambo player and one of the activists of Kurash revival started research to learn the Kurash heritage, generalize techniques and draft the new Kurash rules which could meet international standards. In the beginning of 1990th he finished his research and aimed at bringing Kurash to the world. He presented the new Kurash rules developed by him to public discussion of Kurash specialists and fans. Later the IKA's Congress approved the rules by Komil Yusupov as the official International Kurash Rules. The new rules incorporated all the best features of the national sport with international sport standards like uniform, an action field, length of competition, etc. Sport experts acknowledge that the Kurash rules developed by Komil Yusupov fully correspond to all international sport requirements. \n\nOne of the advantages of Kurash rules is that they prohibit ground wrestling. Once the knee of one of the players touches the floor the referee stops the action and players should restart action from the initial upright standing position. It is also not allowed to grapple below the waist. This makes Kurash a truly speedy, dynamic and interesting to watch sport. Besides that the rules of Kurash strictly prohibit players to use any armlocks, chocking and strangling techniques. It helps players to avoid many injuries and makes Kurash one of the safest types of martial art to practice.\n\nIn 1991 after Uzbekistan first of the Soviet republics proclaimed independence from Moscow the new life of Kurash began. The new government headed by the first Uzbek President Islam Karimov aimed to restore national values and the traditions of the Uzbek

On May 13, 2005, Uzbek government forces killed hundreds of unarmed people who participated in a massive public protest in the eastern Uzbek city of Andijan. The scale of this killing was so extensive, and its nature was so indiscriminate and disproportionate, that it can best be described as a massacre.\n\nThe government has denied all responsibility for the killings. It claims the death toll was 173 people— law enforcement officials and civilians killed by the attackers, along with the attackers themselves. The government says the attackers were “Islamic extremists,” who initiated “disturbances” in the city. Uzbek authorities did everything to hide the truth behind the massacre and have tried to block any independent inquiry into the events.\n\nA Human Rights Watch field investigation in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan recreated a comprehensive account of the events of May 13 and 14 in Andijan, presented in this report. Our findings clearly demonstrate the Uzbek government forces’ undeniable responsibility for the massacre.\nThe May 13 killings began when thousands of people participated in a rare, massive protest on Bobur Square in Andijan, voicing their anger about growing poverty and government repression. The protest was sparked by the freeing from jail of twenty-three businessmen who were being tried for “religious fundamentalism.” These charges were widely perceived as unfair, and had prompted hundreds of people to peacefully protest the trial in the weeks prior to May 13.\n\nAfter troops sealed off the area surrounding the square, they continued to fire from various directions as the protesters attempted to flee. One group of fleeing protesters was literally mowed down by government gunfire. The presence of gunmen in the crowd, and even the possibility that they may have fired at or returned fire from government forces, cannot possibly justify this wanton slaughter.\n\nHuman Rights Watch interviewed more than fifty people in a refugee camp in neighboring Kyrgyzstan and in Andijan itself who participated in the demonstrations and witnessed the violence, marking the most comprehensive research into the events done so far by any nongovernmental or media organization.\n\nThe government sought to justify its acts by casting the events in the context of terrorism, and has claimed that all of the dead were killed by the gunmen, and has stated that the organizers of the protest were Islamic “fanatics and militants” who sought to overthrow the government and establish an Islamic state. This is unsurprising. For nearly a decade, the Uzbek government has cast nearly all of its domestic critics as “terrorists,” “extremists,” and “Islamic fundamentalists.” The government has faced serious incidents of terrorism and insurrection, but it has also used threats of terrorism to justify essentially banning nearly all political opposition, religious or secular. Human Rights Watch research found no evidence that the protesters or the gunmen had an Islamist agenda. Interviews with numerous people present at the demonstrations consistently revealed that the protesters spoke about economic conditions in Andijan, government repression, and unfair trials—and not the creation of an Islamic state.The Uzbek government has launched a criminal investigation into the events in Andijan, but there is no indication that it will include an examination of government forces’ use of lethal force against unarmed people.\n\nThe Uzbek parliament has created an independent commission of inquiry into the Andijan events whose mandate includes “a thorough analysis of the actions of government and [law enforcement, security and military structures, and a legal assessment.\n\ncc

Information on this is a bit spotty. Here is what I have found but it is 10 years old:\n\nClimatic and geographic factors limit Russia's agricultural activity to about 10 percent of the country's total land area. Of that amount, about 60 percent is used for crops, the remainder for pasture and meadow (see table 15, Appendix). \n\nIn the European part of Russia, the most productive land is in the Central Chernozem Economic Region and the Volga Economic Region, which occupy the grasslands between Ukraine and Kazakstan. More than 65 percent of the land in those regions is devoted to agriculture. \n\nIn Siberia and the Far East, the most productive areas are the southernmost regions. Fodder crops dominate in the colder regions, and intensity of cultivation generally is higher in European Russia. The last expansion of cultivated land occurred in the late 1950s and early 1960s, when the Virgin Lands program of Nikita Khrushchev opened land in southwestern Siberia (and neighboring Kazakstan) for cultivation. \n\nIn the mid-1990s, about 15 percent of the working population was occupied in agriculture, with the proportion dropping slowly as the younger population left rural areas to seek economic opportunities elsewhere (see Rural Life, ch. 5).
