The Great Patriotic War (Russian: Вели́кая Оте́чественная война́, romanized: Velikaja Otečestvennaja vojna) is a term used in Russia and some other former republics of the Soviet Union to describe the conflict fought during the period from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945 along the many fronts of the Eastern Front of World War II, primarily between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. For some legal purposes, this period may be extended to 11 May 1945 to include the end of the Prague offensive.
History
The term Patriotic War refers to the Russian resistance to the French invasion of Russia under Napoleon I, which became known as the Patriotic War of 1812. In Russian, the term отечественная война originally referred to a war on one's own territory (otechestvo means "the fatherland"), as opposed to a campaign abroad (заграничная война), and later was reinterpreted as a war for the fatherland, i.e. a defensive war for one's homeland. Sometimes the Patriotic War of 1812 was also referred to as the Great Patriotic War (Великая отечественная война); the phrase first appeared in 1844 and became popular on the eve of the centenary of the Patriotic War of 1812.
After 1914, the phrase was applied to World War I. It was the name of a special war-time appendix to the magazine Theater and Life (Театр и жизнь) in Saint Petersburg, and referred to the Eastern Front of World War I, where Russia fought against the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The phrases Second Patriotic War (Вторая отечественная война) and Great World Patriotic War (Великая всемирная отечественная война) were also used during World War I in Russia.
The term Great Patriotic War re-appeared in the official newspaper of the CPSU, Pravda, on 23 June 1941, just a day after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. It was found in the title of "The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet People" (Velikaya Otechestvennaya Voyna Sovetskogo Naroda), a long article by Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, a member of Pravda editors' collegium. The phrase was intended to motivate the population to defend the Soviet fatherland and to expel the invader, and a reference to the Patriotic War of 1812 was seen as a great morale booster. During the Soviet period, historians engaged in huge distortions to make history fit with Communist ideology, with Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov and Prince Pyotr Bagration transformed into peasant generals, Alexander I alternatively ignored or vilified, and the war becoming a massive "People's War" fought by the ordinary people of Russia with almost no involvement on the part of the government. The invasion by Germany was called the Great Patriotic War by the Soviet government to evoke comparisons with the victory by Tsar Alexander I over Napoleon's invading army.
The term Отечественная война (Patriotic War or Fatherland War) was officially recognized by establishment of the Order of the Patriotic War on 20 May 1942, awarded for heroic deeds.
The term is not generally used outside the former Soviet Union, and the closest term is the Eastern Front of World War II (1941–1945). Neither term covers the initial phase of World War II in Eastern Europe, during which the USSR, then still in a non-aggression pact with Germany, invaded eastern Poland (1939), the Baltic states (1940), Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina (1940) and Finland (1939–1940). The term also does not cover the Soviet–Japanese War (1945) nor the Battles of Khalkhin Gol (1939).
In Russia and some other post-Soviet countries, the term is given great significance; it is accepted as a representation of the most important part of World War II. Until 2014, Uzbekistan was the only nation in the Commonwealth of Independent States that had not recognized the term, referring to it as World War II on the state holiday - the Day of Remembrance and Honour.

Physical characteristics
Bairds Sandpipers are brown shorebirds with black legs and very long wings. Their medium-length bills are fine-tipped and straight. Adults in breeding plumage are light brown, and have black spots on their wings. Non-breeding adults are gray-brown, and lack spots. The juvenile, the most common form found in Washington, is brown with white-edged feathers that give it a scaly appearance. In flight, it shows white wing-stripes and a dark line down the middle of its tail, with white on either sides of the rump.
Habitat
Breeding habitat is dry upland tundra. During migration, Bairds Sandpipers can be found along sandy shores and sometimes mudflats. They prefer higher, drier habitat than most other small sandpipers. They are also likely to be found in alpine areas, at high-elevation lakes, or even on snow banks. Wintering grounds are southern South American grasslands.
Bairds Sandpipers are generally found individually or in small flocks. Flock size can be greater mid-continent where they are more common. Bairds Sandpipers typically forage along the upper edge of mudflats, or up on sandy beaches, often in vegetation. They will sometimes forage in the water, but not regularly. Birds in the mountains will feed on snow banks. They move quickly with heads up, picking up surface prey
Other details
Calidris bairdii has a predominantly North American breeding distribution, which just extends into Europe in north-west Greenland. Its European breeding population is very small (as few as 500 pairs), but its trend between 1970-1990 was unknown. Trend data were also unavailable during 1990-2000, but there was no evidence to suggest that it declined. Although the size of the European population could render it susceptible to the risks affecting small populations, it is marginal to a much a larger non-European population.
The Canadian Wildlife Service estimates the population of Bairds Sandpipers at 300,000 birds. This species use of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, as well as major migration staging areas, makes it vulnerable if these areas are lost or degraded. Rare vagrant to Europe, mostly the UK isles
Feeding
Bairds Sandpipers are primarily insect-eaters
Conservation
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is very large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
The nest is located on the ground among rocks and perhaps in low ground cover, sometimes well hidden in a grass clump. The male builds most of the nest, which is a shallow scrape lined with lichen, grass, and leaves. Both parents help incubate the four eggs for 19 to 22 days. The young leave the nest soon after hatching and feed themselves. Both parents brood and tend the young at first, but the female usually abandons the brood before they fledge. The male stays with the brood until they begin to fly, at 16 to 20 days.
Migration
Migratory. Many migrate inland, across North American prairies, Rockies and N Andes, often staging at high altitude lakes. Funnel through Canada W of Hudson Bay, then stopover in prairies of S Canada and N USA, especially Cheyenne Bottoms (Kansas), whereafter non-stop journey to Andes by mid-Aug, bypassing Central America off W coast. Adults depart early Jul, females slightly preceeding males; juveniles migrate later from breeding grounds, from late Jul, in more leisurely fashion, and over broader front, from Pacific states to Atlantic; unlike adults, many juveniles move into SW USA; juveniles reach Patagonia mainly early Oct. N migration largely along same route.

Sinogene is committed to the use of cutting-edge biological science and technology to achieve efficient breeding and clear scientific breeding direction. Our goal is to cultivate characteristic breed so that such breed can also be widely recognized in the world.
In order to protect the original horse breed resources, and at the same time to evaluate, select and preserve the existing breeds, Sinogene biotechnology is establishing a horse genetic preservation bank to preserve the tissues, frozen semen, frozen embryos, cells and genes of high-quality horse breeds by using modern science and technology. Meanwhile, genetic database, sample database and germplasm resource database were established by using gene sequencing technology.
Sinogene biotechnology will sequence and analyze different kinds of horses, analyze the breeds and genetic diversity of horses, and classify and identify the horses by using the combination of gene chip detection technology and genetic breeding and the entire genome sequencing technology, RAD-seq technology or re sequencing and other related technologies. At the same time, the important candidate genes related to diseases and traits are selected. Based on these important candidate genes, the gene detection technology is established to detect the genetic diseases and traits of horses and it assists breeding. Understanding the genetic characteristics and screening can make breeding more directional and improve the efficiency of breeding optimization.
At the same time, as the most cutting-edge ultimate breeding technology, cloning biotechnology can realise the replication of high-quality individual horses and the rapid expansion of the number of excellent groups in batches, which is the cutting-edge technology of scientific breeding. Modern biotechnology can not only achieve the selection and clone, but also carry out breeding at the molecular level through gene editing technology.
In essence, there is no difference between traditional breeding and gene editing breeding. They are all changing at the level of genetic material DNA to cultivate new excellent breeds. However, editing breeding has shorter periodicity, less workload, and less dependence on resources. It can accurately predict the phenotype of offspring, with high selection efficiency and creativity. It can integrate the excellent quality among breeds.
It is known that horses are large animals and typical monogamous animals. Mares breed once a year. Horses can't breed until they are 4-5 years old, and the performance characteristics of horses can be judged stably only when they are about 8 years old. If traditional breeding methods are used, the randomness of character inheritance leads to the result that it takes more than one generation to cultivate a high-quality population and luck is also needed. Modern animal cloning technology has the characteristics of orientation and high efficiency in breeding. It helps us to get results that used to take the several generations faster and it meets the needs of the development of modern countries. For example, race horse cloning can help you breed horses with excellent characteristics.
If you wish to know about the cloned race horses or horse cloning cost, please contact us, and we will provide you with high-quality services and technologies.
