  • 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.

  • Introduction. Komi Folklore Studies: Connecting Points1
    https://doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2019.76.introduction INTRODUCTION. KOMI FOLKLORE STUDIES: CONNECTING POINTS1 Liudmila Lobanova Researcher Department of Folklore, Institute of Language, Literature, and History Komi Science Centre, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia Email: [email protected] Nikolay Kuznetsov Lecturer in Finno-Ugric Languages Department of Finno-Ugric Studies University of Tartu Email: [email protected] The special edition of Folklore: Electronic Journal of Folklore is dedicated to Komi2 folklore and folklore studies. The issue was prepared within the frame- work of cooperation between the Department of Folkloristics of the Estonian Literary Museum and the Folklore Department of the Komi Science Centre by Komi and Estonian folklore researchers. Prior to this, the authors published one of the issues (vol. 17, 2016) of the Sator periodical, which was also dedi- cated to Komi folklore studies. The goal of this issue is to present some of the results of recent Komi folklore studies to wider academic circles, overcoming the natural linguistic obstacles. The majority of articles are written within the research project “Local Folklore Traditions of the European Northeast of Russia: Mechanisms of Development and Adaptation, System of Genres, Ethnocultural Folklore Interaction” (№ AAAA-A17-117021310066-4). The history of Komi folklore studies reveals processes typical for the Rus- sian, Soviet, and post-Soviet research dealing with folklore (the research field extended and became more limited over time), as well as studying the Komi language and culture as part of the general development of Finno-Ugric stud- ies. Traditionally, academician Andreas Sjögren (1794–1855) is considered to have discovered Komi folklore – in 1827, he transcribed folklore texts and published them as examples of the Komi language.

  • The SIS Limits and Related Proglacial Events in the Severnaya Dvina Basin, Northwestern Russia: Review and New Data
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, Vol. 90, 2018, pp 301–313, https://doi.org/10.17741/bgsf/90.2.012 The SIS limits and related proglacial events in the Severnaya Dvina basin, northwestern Russia: review and new data Nataliya E. Zaretskaya1*, Andrei V. Panin2,3 and Natalia V. Karpukhina2 1 Geological Institute of RAS, Pyzhesky per. 7, Moscow, 119017, RUSSIA 2 Institute of Geography of RAS, Staromonetny per. 29, Moscow, 119017, RUSSIA 3 Lomonsov Moscow State University, Vorobiovy Gory 1, Moscow, 119991, RUSSIA Abstract Two underlying problems of the Late Quaternary history of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) are reviewed in the paper: the position of the southeastern SIS boundary at the Late Glacial Maximum (LGM), which is still widely “migrating” depending on authors’ concepts, and the formation of associated proglacial lakes (i.e. their dimensions, drainage and chronology) in the valleys of Severnaya Dvina River basin. The position of maximum ice limit in the northwest of the Russian Plain remains debatable and is the least reliable compared to the other SIS sectors. Most of the recent reconstructions concerning ice-dammed lakes (water overflows, restructuring of river valleys etc.) exploited the geological survey results of mid-20th century: since then no geological studies have been conducted of the proposed spillways, their filling sediments and age using the modern sedimentological and geochronological techniques. As a result, the majority of the above-mentioned reconstructions have to be considered hypothetical. Here we present new results on two valley sites that allow to suggest that: 1) the SIS did not advance through the lower and middle Vychegda valley at LGM as suggested in some recent publications; 2) the LGM glacier-dammed lake had a very limited extension in the Severnaya Dvina valley and did not exceed to the Vychegda River mouth.

  • Finno-Ugric Republics and Their State Languages: Balancing Powers in Constitutional Order in the Early 1990S
    SUSA/JSFOu 94, 2013 Konstantin ZAMYATIN (Helsinki) Finno-Ugric Republics and Their State Languages: Balancing Powers in Constitutional Order in the Early 1990s Most of Russia’s national republics established titular and Russian as co-official state languages in their constitutions of the early 1990s. There is no consensus on the reasons and consequences of this act, whether it should be seen as a mere symbolic gesture, a measure to ensure a language revival, an instrument in political debate or an ethnic institution. From an institutional and comparative perspective, this study explores the constitutional systems of the Finno-Ugric republics and demonstrates that across the republics, the official status of the state languages was among the few references to ethnicity built into their constitutions. However, only in the case of language require- ments for the top officials, its inclusion could be interpreted as an attempt at instrumen- tally using ethnicity for political ends. Otherwise, constitutional recognition of the state languages should be rather understood as an element of institutionalized ethnicity that remains a potential resource for political mobilization. This latter circumstance might clarify why federal authorities could see an obstacle for their Russian nation-building agenda in the official status of languages. 1. Introduction The period of social transformations of the late 1980s and early 1990s in Eastern Europe was characterized by countries’ transition from the communist administra- tive−command systems towards the representative democracy and market economy. One important driving force of change in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was the rise of popular movements out of national resentment and dissatis- faction with the state-of-the-art in the sphere of inter-ethnic relations.

  • Transport and Infrastructural Basis of the Tourism Development Strategy in the Arkhangelsk Oblast © Aleksandr Yu
    Aleksandr Yu. TSVETKOV. Transport and infrastructural basis … 35 UDC [338.48+332.14](470.11)(045) DOI: 10.37482/issn2221-2698.2020.38.44 Transport and infrastructural basis of the tourism development strategy in the Arkhangelsk Oblast © Aleksandr Yu. TSVETKOV, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), associate professor E-mail: [email protected] Department of Management, Higher School of Economics, Management and Law, Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Arkhangelsk, Russia Abstract. The article, devoted to the analysis of transport and geographical locations, describes possible strategies for the development of tourism in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The main goal of the research was the development of logistic schemes of the transportation of tourists from the places of formation of tourist flows to the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The methodological basis of the article is to determine the economic dis- tances between potential tourist distribution centers and their places of interest in the area. Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Arkhangelsk were considered as the main towns of departure. Kargopol, Solvychegodsk, Kholmogory and Lomonosovo, Solovki, Kenozersky National Park, and Pinega caves are regarded as the main sites of tourist interest in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. It was determined that Kargopol is the most acces- sible for tourists, and Kenozersky National Park is the most recognizable by tourists but the least accessible. The object of world cultural heritage, the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour on Solovki is the most accessible for tourists from the territory of Karelia. It is recommended to optimize the schedule and to synchronize the work of transport for tourists to improve the transport accessibility of recreational facili- ties in the area.
