Abstract
Coal Industry Development Program till 2030 involves a significant increase in the production output. Despite the coal industry’s low direct contribution to Russia’s economy its development is highly important for the maintenance of adjacent and accompanying industries. To successfully implement the project it’s essential to approach their assessment from the point of view of synergic effect while considering all the programs in a complex way. This requires a presence of the entity which is able and has functions to independently perform a strategic planning.

Abstract
The article studies various deep coal processing technologies to produce synthetic liquid fuels and other valuable hydrocarbons, highlights many leading global powers' interest in the raw material diversification issue to obtain such product where the interest in coal as a main raw material source prevails. Also proposed is the technology that best meets the specificity of the coals in this country. It's shown that the coal gasification processes for which practically any coal grades are suitable including low grade Russian brown coals whose fields are concentrated in Siberia and the Far East are the most promising.

A Scientist Who Changed Pechorsky Region’s Destiny
(in commemoration of 135TH birthday of A.A. Chernov)
Abstract
The name of Aleksandr A. Chernov (24.07.1877-22.01.1963), whose 135th birthday is celebrated this year, is symbolic and significant for the coal industry of the Republic of Komi and Russia as a whole. Although things like that are rare to fall in a scientist's lot he as far back as in his lifetime saw that the results of his scientific and reconnaissance work had changed the destiny of Pechorsky region – a huge northern territory of Russia. Normally his name is associated with the discovery of Pechorsky coal field and establishment of the regional geologist school however the scientific interests and practical results of A.A. Chernov’s research were more extensive.
Keywords
