Extreme temperatures of −49 °F (−45 °C) in the winter
Oil and natural gas <http://www.britannica.com/science/natural-gas> are
extracted from oil <http://www.britannica.com/topic/oil-chemical-compound>
fields near Ufa <http://www.britannica.com/place/Ufa-Russia> and Neftekamsk
in the northwest, at Belebey in the west, and at Ishimbay
<http://www.britannica.com/place/Ishimbay> on the middle Belay

Bashkortostan: Waking the ‘Russian Switzerland’
The Republic of Bashkortostan (Bashkiria), nicknamed the “Russian
Switzerland” because of its natural resources, is discreetly developing its
tourist potential, far from the beaten track.

<http://rbth.com/travel/2013/06/09/harvesting_honey_the_old-fashioned_way_26889.html>,
like that of Altai, has a great reputation.
Slowly but surely, the people of Bashkiria <http://rbth.com/tag/bashkiria>
are regaining consciousness of their national identity within the Russian
Federation. For a number of businesspeople, tourism has become a way of
enhancing the regional heritage and accelerating a return to its roots.
