  • Industrialization of Housing Construction As a Tool for Sustainable Settlement and Rural Areas Development
    E3S Web of Conferences 164, 07010 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf /202016407010 TPACEE-2019 Industrialization of housing construction as a tool for sustainable settlement and rural areas development Olga Popova1,*, Polina Antufieva1 , Vladimir Grebenshchikov2 and Mariya Balmashnova2 1Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, 163002, Severnaya Dvina Emb., 17, Arkhangelsk, Russia 2 Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, 26, Yaroslavskoeshosse, 129337, Moscow, Russia Abstract. The development of the construction industry, conducting construction in accordance with standard projects, and transforming the construction materials industry in hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas will make significant progress in solving the housing problem. Industrialization of housing construction is a catalyst for strong growth of the region’s economy and the quality of life of citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of industrialization of the territory’s construction complex and its development potential for increasing the volume of low-rise housing stock. Research tasks: 1) assessment of the need to develop housing construction, including low-rise housing, on a particular territory; 2) development of a methodology for calculating the level of industrialization of construction in the area under consideration to determine the possibility of developing low-rise housing construction in this area in the proposed way; 3) approbation of the method using the example of rural areas of the Arkhangelsk region. It was revealed that the districts of the Arkhangelsk region have medium and low levels of industrialization. The districts that are most in need of an increase in the rate of housing construction have been identified.

  • Development of Forest Sector in the Arkhangelsk Oblast During the Transition Period of the 1990S
    Development of forest sector in the Arkhangelsk oblast during the transition period of the 1990s ALBINA PASHKEVICH Pashkevich Albina (2003). Development of forest sector in the Arkhangelsk oblast during the transition period of the 1990s. Fennia 181: 1, pp. 13–24. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. The Arkhangelsk oblast has long been one of Russia’s most important forest industrial regions. This paper analyses the changes in accessibility of forest resources and forest commodity production during the transition period in the 1990s. Special attention is given to firm restructuring, active roles of domestic capital and the different survival strategies that have been developed by in- dustries in the region. Further analysis deals with signs of economic recovery in the forest sector due to the processes of restructuring, modernisation and self-organisation.

  • Kazan Kremlin in Russia
    Kazan Kremlin in Russia Kazan Kremlin – a complex of several buildings in Kazan, Russia Kazan Kremlin is a complex of several buildings in Kazan, Russia, noted for their architectural and historical value. A kremlin is a citadel and the seat of government of the city, and consists of churches and towers, and a palace. The Kazan Kremlin was the citadel of Tatarstan, which is a federal subject of the Russian Federation. Constructed under the orders of Ivan the Terrible, and built among the remains of the Kazan Khanate. The white Kremlin features the Annunciation Cathedral, the only sixteenth-century Russian church to have 6 piers and 5 apses. Built from 1554 to 1562, the cathedral is made from pale sandstone. Its bell tower was modeled after Moscow's Ivan the Great Belltower but the Kazan bell tower was torn down by the Soviets in 1930. Another important building in the Kazan Kremlin is the Söyembikä Tower, also known as the Khan's Mosque. Once the tallest structure in the kremlin and a leaning tower, with a lean of 194 centimeters (76 inches), it was straightened in the 1930s and again in the 1990s. This tower was possibly built in the 17th or 18th century, though its origins are not well understood. A legend has it that the tower was named for a queen named Söyembikä who killed herself jumping from the top of the tower, but the legend is not rooted in facts. Spasskaya Tower on the southern end of the Kremlin serves as the main entrance to the Kremlin.

Alexandrova1, Olga A. Vorobyova2, Marina A. Nikulina3, Andrey V. Seregin4, Alla A. Timofeeva5 Abstract The article considers various aspects of legal system interaction and mutual influence in the states of Central and Eastern Europe during their historical and cultural development. The thing is, in particular, about unified historical (Slavic) roots of these states, common sources of law, the elements of legal culture, etc. The socialist statehood, in which they existed for about half a century, also exerted a definite influence on the development of the legal systems in these countries. The conclusions are drawn that the majority of the states of Central and Eastern Europe, having passed the so-called post-Soviet (post-socialist) stage of their development, joined the continental legal family, confirming the German theory of the temporary anomaly of socialist law. As for the Russian legal system, despite the fact that it is very close to the family of continental law by a number of criteria, it still exists apart from it (in particular, due to the specific nature of legal ideology and legal culture).
