	Europa: The History of the White Race : Chapter 40
		In southern Russia the nature of the society was changed from that a budding White civilization to that of a full blown Asiatic society through the replacement of the White population by an Asiatic population.
		The northern parts of Russia were in an invidious position: on the one hand, the southernmost parts of their land had been overrun by murderous Asiatics who for the moment were not directly threatening northern Russia: while in the west, bands of crazed White Christians were seizing every opportunity to invade and extend their power.
		The colonization and clearing of central and southern Russia was undertaken by rough and ready White adventurers from the north of Russia, who became known as Cossacks: more often than not they were peasants who had fled the feudal serfdom of the principalities in the north to seek their freedom and wealth elsewhere.

	White Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		White Russia is a name that was historically applied to different regions in Eastern Europe, most often to the region that roughly corresponds to the present-day Belarus.
		In English the use of White Russia to refer to Belarus is dated, however many other languages continue to use a literal translation of White Russia to refer to Belarus.
		The problem with this translation is that the name "White Russia" seems to suggest that this territory is related to the present-day Russian Federation, whereas it has nothing to do with the Russian Federation, but is related to the ancient lands of Ruthenia (or Rus’—see also Etymology of Rus and derivatives).

	CNS - Analysis of Russia's Nonproliferation White Paper - Jul 26, 2006 - Research Story
		The authors of the White Paper are also concerned about the likelihood of "chain reactions." Acquisition of nuclear weapons by one or a few states might lead many more to follow suit out of concern for their security or for political (e.g., status) reasons.
		Somewhat surprisingly, the White Paper considers the risk that biological weapons could be used in an interstate conflict as "real." This view contradicts the widespread belief of the international expert community that military effectiveness of biological weapons is low and their use on battlefield is highly unlikely.
		The White Paper cites the absence of a legally binding regime as the key weakness of existing international efforts to prevent proliferation of missiles capable of delivering WMD and related technologies.

		The White and Red Guards were typically disguised as fire-brigades, because the Russification policy included a ban of all associations except fire brigades.
		In this situation some of the old fire-brigades were revived simply as an answer to insecurity and lawlessness, particularly in the rural countryside where the strike-connected violence actually was most intense.
		The local White Guards function in the following 20 years - up to the Winter War - was a mixture of Veteran Corps and Home Guards.

		Its principal mission was to explore northeastern Russia, including the Chukchi Peninsula, the islands and seas in the northern Pacific, and the northwestern American coastal lands.
		Billings was to chart the northern part of the Chukchi Peninsula (this was what Dmitry Laptev had failed to do) and to try to find a landmass north of Kolyma, the first evidence of which was traced back to the 17th century and which many viewed as a separate continent.
		In 1790-1791, an exploration expedition in the vessel "Slava Rossii" (Glory for Russia) sailed to Russian America, where it charted much of the coastline from the Gulf of Prince William to Prince of Wales Cape, Diomede Island, and St. Lawrence Island.

		However, Russian steelmaker Alexei Mordashov appears so keen to sell out his assets, and ride his rapidly thinning charger out of the Russian steel sector, he has agreed to give Arcelor, Europe's largest steelmaker, another Eur2.5 billion in asset value, in return for a smaller shareholding stake in the company.
		Now he's agreed to less shareholding, and less seats on the board, so that he couldn't have the votes to challenge the Arcelor majority in any case.
