Despite their significant numbers, however, these Ukrainians remain largely unknown to the international community, receiving none of the attention that has been accorded, for example, to Russian minorities in the successor states to the former Soviet Union. According to the last Soviet census of 1989, approximately 4.3 million Ukrainians live in the Russian Federation; unofficial estimates of the size of this group run considerably higher.

Challenges of modern globalization against the background of a new world order formation in the context of the emerging problems in the social economic development of individual subjects of the Southern Federal District are considered. Special attention is paid to factors of the political regime stability and threats of the situation destabilization under the influence of external and internal social political transformations in politics and economics. It is emphasized that problems of inter-ethnic relations within the region, ethnic factors that form a significant conflict potential associated with contradictions of a territorial, value and social economic nature play an important role in these processes. As an empirical base, data from an expert survey conducted by the authors in the Krasnodar Territory from May to September 2018, materials from earlier sociological studies are used.

  • Russia: Flood
    DREF operation n° MDRRU009 Russia: GLIDE n° FL-2010-000208-RUS 25 October 2010 Flood The International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. CHF 88,725 (USD 91,491 or EUR 65,139) has been allocated from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the National Society in delivering immediate assistance to 600 families. This operation is expected to be implemented over 4 months, and will therefore be completed by end of February; a Final Report will be made available by May 2011. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Heavy torrential rains raised the water level of the rivers causing inundation and flooding of houses and agricultural land, as well as destruction of infrastructure in some areas of the Flooding and inundation affected 600 families in Krasnodarsky Krasnodarsky Region in the Russian Federation. Region of Russian Federation Photo: Russian Red Cross According to the Russian EMERCOM, 8 houses are completely destroyed and 134 flooded in the Apsheronsky area while in Tuapsinsky area 400 houses are partially damaged. Destruction of homes continues even after water withdrawal as houses in villages and settlements are made of clay and adobe.
