Thanks!
I'd like to thank for that link too. Some years ago I read in one of Bernhard Grzimek's¹ books (from ~1965) about big wood belts planned in the Soviet Union. He believed that this was a good idea (I too) and that the descendants of the planters would be thankful to their ancestors. But doing research at that time I could not find nothing about these woods. Now I have to dig through the books to add another source to that Russian Wikipedia page.
