ISSN 1998-0698 © ITSED RAS, 2009 Internet address: http://esc.vscc.ac.ru FROM THE CHIEF EDITOR Dear readers, Departing from the developed tradition to start each new jour- nal edition with the article devoted to the theme of the issue, I would like to mention that the year of 2010 is special for the basic journal’s founder, namely for the Institute of Territories’ Social and Economic Development of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ITSED RAS), as in 2010 it has passed 20 years since the Institute was established. ITSED RAS was founded in December, 1990 as the sub-unit Vladimir A. of the Institute of Economic Problems of the Kola Scientific ILYIN Centre. The decree on the ITSED foundation was signed by the Doctor of Economics Doctor of Economic Science G.P. Luzin, who was its Head of that Professor Honored Scientist of the RF time. This important decision was caused by the increasing role of Director of ITSED RAS the Vologda Area in the economy of the Northwest of the coun- try, and by the necessity of scientific substantiation of the further regional development’s prospects. The status of the establishment has been varying since then, but the continual line of its advanc- ing material technical and staff development, the growth of the quantity and the quality of scientific researches in the field of the regional economic science always remained permanent. At various stages of the ITSED history the Members of the Russian Academy of Science such as L.I. Abalkin, A.G. Granberg, V.V. Ivanter, V.L. Makarov, P.A. Minakir, A.I. Tatarkin, a n d Corresponding Members of the Russian Academy of Science such as N.M. Rimashevskaya, V.I. Suslov, played a great role in its mak- ing. They repeatedly participated in various scientific events held in Vologda, supported researches’ actualizations with their advice and recommendations. Important contribution on organizational and financial development of the scientific activity of the first and still the only academic establishment in the Vologda Area was made by the Heads of the Russian Academy of Science; among them are President Ju.S. Osipov, Vice-Presidents A.D. Nekipelov and V.V. Kozlov, Head of Economy Section of Social Studies Branch of the RAS Academician N.Ja. Petrakov, chargeable staffers of the Russian Academy of Science’s Presidium L.A. Anosova and V.K. Egorov. Undoubtedly we should also note Academi- cian D.S. Lvov’s invaluable efforts on scientific economic school’s formation in Vologda. He actively cooperated with the region’s Governor V.E. Pozgalev on this matter. The achievements of Dmitry Lvov are important not only because during hard times of market reforms he was the official head of the economic science in Russia and was the initiator of the all-Russian Scientific April,2003 Practical Conferences on Strategy and Tactics Meeting between Vologda region Governor of Economic Reforms’ Realization in Regions V.E. Pozgalyov and academician D.S. Lvov held in Vologda (five conferences were held at his personal participation). The main thing is that at these conferences and other scientific assemblies Dmitry Lvov brightly and convincingly proved the necessity of the Russian economy’s moderniza- tion; spoke about its realization’s opportunities on the basis of fair distribution of incomes got from the huge country’s natural resources for the ben- efit of all population. The Academician foreknew many of those enhancement concepts which are put forward nowadays. Dmitry Lvov repeatedly criticized the eco- nomic policy of the power structures. The authority starting with “the scholastic researches of abstract non-existing in reality models of market balance” (S. Glazyev), in one of his speeches was meta- April,2003 Russian conference “Strategy and tactics of social and phorically determined in the following way: “Two economics reforms realization: regional aspect” troubles are known to exist in Russia; they are (left to right: D.S. Lvov, N.V. Kostygov, V.A. Ilyin) the fools and the ways. Recently the third trouble joined them, and it is the fools showing the ways”. Dmitry Lvov would have been 80 this February if he had been alive; and though he has not lived up to this date, he left a great deal of inestimable ideas having not only narrow-special, but the great social value. These ideas are the guiding ones in the contemporary activity of the ITSED RAS. Recently many heads of the RAS economic institutes located in the Northwest of the Russian Federation, such as Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Science V.N. Lazhentsev, Doctors of Science O.P. Litovka, M.A. Gusakov, V.S. Selin, F.D. Larichkin, A.I. Shishkin, support- ed escalating of the scientific potential of ITSED. The contribution of the Vologda economists, such as of Corresponding Member of the Russian Acad- emy of Agrarian Science A.P. Dorogovtsev, Profes- January, 2006 sors E.S. Gubanova, N.A. Paholkov, M.V. Selin Academician V.L.Makarov’s speech and others is considerable in the increase of the on the conference: “Strategy and tactics of economics reform realization: ITSED researches’ importance. regional aspect” The journal’s editorial board is grateful to all the authors who contribute to the growth of the ITSED authority in the Russian economic science with their substantial articles. For two years, which have passed since the edition’s occurrence, the materials about the ways and the mechanisms of the efficiency’s increase in territorial socio-eco- nomic systems, about the methods of the transition to the innovational development of the regional economy, and about the ways of overcoming of the crisis’ consequences have been published. Due to the authors’ active position by the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Certification Commis- sion of the Department of Education and Science December,2008 President of RAS academician Yu. S. Osipov of the Russian Federation from February, 19, 2010 and Vologda region Governor V.E. Pozgalyov the journal was included in the List of Scientific are signing a cooperation agreement between Periodicals where the basic scientific results of dis- Vologda region government and RAS in the field of science, education and innovations. sertations for obtaining a Scientific Candidate or Doctor Degree should be published. The editorial board hopes, that the cooperation will continue, and asks the authors to be even more active in increasing the publications’ qualitative level in the journal in 2010. t The first decade of the XXI century is the time for our country’s transition from one economic formation to another. Nowadays the life is complex, ambiguous. So the examples, being evidence that the authority is ready to actively help to science so as to focus the economy on the innovational devel- opment, capable to modernize all society as a whole become significant within the grandiose economic changes. One of such examples is opening in ITSED RAS the new digital body of the Scientific Educational Center of Economy and Information Technologies which was created seven years ago for revealing and development of the tal- ented youth’s abilities in the region. On February, 8, on Science Day, the ceremonial meeting was held; Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Science A.D. Nekipelov, Chief of the Humanities and Social Studies Depart- ment of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Science V.K.
