As of now, there is no an up-to-date list of flora for the Yaroslavl Region. In this regard, we decided to compile a “List of Vascular Plants of the Yaroslavl Region”, detalizing it down to the administrative districts. After a thorough study of herbarium collections and literary sources, we realized that there is very little specific floristic information on some districts, and therefore those districts require additional study. Among them, we picked Bolsheselsky and Borisoglebsky.

Currenly, we have identified 669 taxa of vascular plants in these districts, of which 546 are native and 123 are adventive. The flora of Bolsheselsky District has 586 taxa identified (493 native, 93 adventive), while the flora of Borisoglebsky District has 536 taxa (447 native, 89 adventive). Thus, we consider the level of flora identification in these districts satisfactory.

Two species from the federal Red Data Book were found in Bolsheselsky District: Dactylorhiza baltica and D. traunsteineri. Both species were discovered in a bog near Lake Bogoyavlensky. Additionally, D. baltica was discovered in a humid meadow near the village of Bolshoye Muravyovo.

The main basis for analysis of the protected plant species was the Red Data Book of the Yaroslavl Region (2015), its main list containing 175 species of vascular plants, and another 31 species included in the monitoring list. At different times, 42 species from the main list (31  in Bolsheselsky, 22 in Borisoglebsky) and 22 species from the monitoring list (19 and 16, respectively) were recorded in the studied districts.

On June 4, 2024, the day of his 92nd birthday, one of the luminaries of Russian ornithology, Vladimir Trofimovich Butyev (JUNE 4, 1932 – JUNE 4, 2024), passed away. His life was closely intertwined with landmark events of Russia in general and Russian science in particular. He graduated from the Geography Department of Moscow State University, worked at a polar station, and even taught students at V.P. Potemkin Moscow State Pedagogical Institute, but most of his life he spent working at the Biology and Chemistry Department of Moscow State Pedagogical Institute/University. V.T. Butyev wrote numerous works on ornithology, biogeography, and ecology. In 1977, he defended his PhD dissertation “Structure and Dynamics of the Bird Population of the Forests of the Central European Territory of the USSR”. Thanks to him, one of the largest ornithological collections in Moscow was created, which is used frequently by many specialists in taxonomy and ornithogeography. Vladimir Trofimovich was a great teacher who had trained many students, an organizer, a subtle and thoughtful researcher of the birds’ life, and simply a wonderful person. He stood at the origins of many conferences and meetings that have been regularly held in our country for many decades.
