The mountain hare known as blue hare, tundra hare, variable hare, white hare, snow hare, alpine hare, Irish hare, is a Palearctic hare, adapted to polar and mountainous habitats. This species is distributed from Fennoscandia to eastern Siberia. In Ireland, the "Irish" hare does not grow a white winter coat, is smaller in size, lives on lowland pastures, coastal grasslands and salt marshes, not just in the mountains; the mountain hare has been introduced to Iceland, Orkney, the Isle of Man, the Peak District, Kerguelen Islands, Crozet Islands, the Faroe Islands. In the Alps, the mountain hare lives at elevations from 700 to 3800 m, depending on biographic region and season; the mountain hare is a large species, though it is smaller than the European hare. It grows to a length of 45–65 cm, with a tail of 4–8 cm, a mass of 2–5.3 kg, females being heavier than males. They can live for up to 12 years. In summer, for all populations of mountain hares, the coat is various shades of brown. In preparation for winter most populations moult into a white pelage.

The tail remains white all year round, distinguishing the mountain hare from the European hare, which has a black upper side to the tail. The subspecies Lepus timidus hibernicus stays brown all year and individuals develop a white coat; the Irish hare may have a "golden" variation those found on Rathlin Island. Studies have shown, it seems to be somewhat dependent on the particular habitat that the population under study lives in. For example, in northern Scandinavia where snow may blanket the ground for many months, the hares may graze on twigs and bark. In areas where snowfall is rare, such as Ireland, grass may form the bulk of the diet. Given a choice, mountain hares in Scotland and Ireland seem to prefer feeding on grasses. One study looking at mountain hares on a coastal grassland environment in Ireland found that grasses constituted over 90% of the diet; this was higher than the percentage of grass in the diet of the European rabbit that inhabited the same environment. The mountain hare is regionally the favourite prey of the golden eagle and may additionally be preyed on by Eurasian eagle-owls and red foxes.

Stoats may prey on young hares. In northern parts of Finland and Sweden, the mountain hare and the European hare compete for habitat; the European hare, being larger, is able to drive away the mountain hare but is less adapted for living in snowy regions: its feet are smaller and its winter fur is a mixture of white and brown. While this winter fur is a good camouflage in the coastal regions of Finland where the snow covers the shrubs but for a short time, the mountain hare is better adapted for the snowier conditions of the inland areas; the two may cross. The Arctic hare was once considered a subspecies of the mountain hare, but it is now regarded as a separate species; some scientists believe that the Irish hare should be regarded as a separate species. Fifteen subspecies are recognised. In the European Alps the mountain hare lives at elevations from 700 to 3800 m, depending on biographic region and season; the development of alpine winter tourism has increased since the last few decades of the 20th century, resulting in expansion of ski resorts, growing visitor numbers, a huge increase in all forms of snow sport activities.

A 2013 study looking at stress events and the response of mountain hares to disturbance concluded that those hares living in areas of high winter recreational activities showed changes in physiology and behaviour that demanded additional energy input at a time when access to food resources is restricted by snow. It recommended ensuring that forests inhabited by mountain hares were kept free of tourist development, that new skiing areas should be avoided in mountain hare habitat, that existing sites should not be expanded. In August 2016, the Scottish animal welfare charity OneKind launched a campaign on behalf of the mountain hare, as a way of raising awareness of mountain hare culls taking place across the country and in garnering public support for the issue. Mountain hares are shot in the Scottish Highlands both as part of paid hunting "tours" and by gamekeepers managing red grouse populations. Much of this activity is secretive but investigations have revealed that tens of thousands of hares are being culled every year.

The campaign, which urges people to proclaim that "We Care For The Mountain Hare", will culminate with the charity urging the Scottish government to legislate against commercial hunting and culling of the iconic Scottish species. The campaign has revealed widespread public support for a ban on hare hunting in Scotland. Irish Hare Initiative

The Central Committee composition was elected by the 15th Congress, sat from 19 December 1927 until 13 July 1930. The CC 1st Plenary Session renewed the composition of the Politburo and the Organizational Bureau of the All-Union Communist Party; the CC was not a permanent institution. It convened plenary sessions, of which six CC plenary sessions and two joint CC–Central Control Commission plenary sessions were held between the 15th Congress and the 16th Congress; when the CC was not in session, decision-making powers were transferred to inner bodies of the CC itself. Individuals employed by Central Committee's bureaus and newspapers made up the apparatus between the 15th Congress and the 16th Congress; the bureaus and departments were supervised by the Secretariat, each secretary supervised a specific department. The leaders of departments were referred to as Heads, while the titles of bureau leaders varied between chairman, first secretary and secretary. Plenary sessions, apparatus heads, the Central Committee full- and candidate membership, Politburo membership, Secretariat membership and Orgburo membership were taken from these sources: Staff writer.
