Abstract
We present a review of the modern information on palaeolimnological investigations in Russian part of Northern Eurasia. The results from the north-western part of the European Russia are presented in more details because this part of the country is better studied by palaeolimnological methods. Conditions of lacustrine sediment deposition around the Late Pleistocene/Holocene boundary are discussed together with the role of different external factors in formation of chemical composition of lake sediments, including such factors as volcanic activity and large meteorite impacts. Results of major paleoclimatic and paleoecological reconstructions across the northern Siberia are presented. A special attention is paid to the databases of biotic and abiotic parameters of the lakes as аn important basis for the reconstructions of climatic and ecological changes during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene
