The main goal of the authors’ team was to summarise the best practices developed by the okrug educators as well as their expertise in teaching regional studies and disseminate that all around Yamalia. We think that it is a brilliant idea to arm our teachers with ready-made though flexible to adaptation lessons to teach students to different aspects of life in our lands in English.
  • Russia's Policies for Arctic Cities

    Russia's Policies for Arctic Cities

    RUSSIAN ANALYTICAL DIGEST No. 129, 24 June 2013 2 ANALYSIS Russia’s Policies for Arctic Cities By Alexander Pilyasov, Moscow Abstract Although the population of Russia’s Arctic has shrunk notably in the past two decades, the region contin- ues to be highly urbanized. The process of developing sustainable, economically self-sufficient, and socially resilient urban centers requires the implementation of informed and directed policy at the federal and local level. In order to assist in informing better policy, this article establishes several categories of northern urban centers based on their economies, political situation, and social networks. The efficacy of policy is analyzed through two case studies, the cities of Muravlenko and Gubkinsky, which have experienced divergent out- comes despite their proximity and organization. Finally, some general policy recommendations are proposed for the different urban categories, based on their varying needs and characteristics. Introduction (a short statistical review of mum to minimum salaries is often a factor of three.

In the single-industry populations relative to the Arctic region in general. By cities, differentials between maximum and minimum far, the majority of the biggest Arctic cities are located salaries are usually greater, sometimes by a factor of six, in Russia. Their large size stems from the Soviet era’s but in extreme cases the difference between the best and “triumph of the cities,” and continues to be centered worst paid can be as much as 13 times.

    Elena A. Korchak. The long-term dynamics of the social space… 100 UDC 316.42(985)(045) DOI: 10.37482/issn2221-2698.2020.38.121 The Arctic territories of Russia: long-term dynamics of the social space © Elena A. KORCHAK, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), senior researcher E-mail: [email protected] Luzin Institute for Economic Studies, Federal Research Centre “Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, Apatity, Russia Abstract. The Arctic territories of Russia were explored and populated rigorously and purposefully during the Soviet period. The settling pattern was then based on the industrial capabilities of the Arctic areas (mineral deposits), considering the need to develop relevant transport infrastructure. The incentive com- ponent of the Soviet propaganda of Arctic development was aimed at mobilizing the skilled workforce. The market transformation in the late 20th century caused a rapid deterioration in the social and economic sit- uation nation-wide: the state abandoned protectionism of the Arctic territories so that state-provided pref- erences were significantly reduced. Such transformations eventually entailed the reduction of social and economic services and a large-scale migration outflow in the Arctic territories. The current social and eco- nomic situation in the Arctic is still characterized by a negative migration balance, which determines a de- cline in the level of labor force participation. The negative migration balance is attributable to the lower economic attractiveness of the region, which again brings about the issue of unemployment in the Arctic. Destructive processes in the social and economic development of the Arctic territories of Russia shape mul- ti-faceted threats to its stable evolution.

Arkhangelsky1, 2 1 Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, 119991, Russia 2 ISESP FCTAS RAS, Moscow, 117218, Russia Received 27 February 2021 ♦ Accepted 15 March 2021 ♦ Published 09 April 2021 Citation: Arkhangelsky VN (2021) Fertility in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Population and Economics 5(1): 72-89. https://doi.org/10.3897/popecon.5.e65207 Abstract The article is devoted to the analysis of fertility indicators in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Along with the total fertility rate for all births, the author traces the dynamics of birth order-specific fertility rates, as well as actual cohort fertility rates estimated by 2010 All-Russian census data. Particular attention is paid to the differences between these indicators in urban districts and municipal areas of the region. When considering the possible relationship of fertility indicators with the implementation of regional measures of demographic policy, special attention is paid to third and subsequent births, the level and dynamics of which can be influenced by the amount of regional maternal (family) capital, which is larger in the Yamal– Nenets Autonomous Okrug than in other federal subjects of Russia. The results of the analysis show that the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug is among regions with a relatively high level and a young model of fertility. To a greater extent, this manifests itself in the second, third and subsequent births. Keywords age-specific fertility, demographic policy, order of birth, cohort fertility, total fertility rate, Yamal–Ne- nets Autonomous Okrug JEL codes: J11, J13 Introduction Fertility largely determines the mode of population reproduction, its natural growth, and therefore the dynamics of the population size in general.

F. M. Dostojevsky City, Omsk, Russia Abstract The administration of the territory of the city involves multi-vector directions of socio-economic forces with the view to creating a competitive investment-attractive environment. The territory of the city becomes a market object, requiring the use of specialized economic instruments to enable increase of competitiveness of the territory. In our opinion, such is the marketing territory. Marketing of the territory within urban investment policy is directed to improving the territory’s investment im- age in the eyes of potential investors, ensuring the expansion of influence of the territory in the external envi- ronment; to creating a favourable and comfortable environment of vital activity of the urban population. The development of marketing strategies for the territory entails the need to conduct regular monitoring of the socio-economic situation in the territory, on the basis of which should be formed the program to improve the competitiveness of the city. In fact, supporting these activities is based on the current actual practice of strate- gic territorial management of the city, the search of formation and development of its competitive advantages in the conditions of instability and uncertainty of its own territorial factors and factors

In particular, this problem is extremely important for Russia in the context of changing the paradigm of the planned development of the Arctic oil and gas economy into indefinite long-term prospects and scenarios of Arctic development. This situation led to reducing social-economic northern benefits and compensations and strengthens the trends of Arctic youth educational migration. However, the experience of digital transformation and forced distance learning due to the pandemic of 2020 could bring young people a new understanding of the opportunities of digitalization, influencing their migration decisions. To clarify the potential of digital technologies in solving the problem of youth migration outflow in the Russian Arctic, we surveyed the students at technical schools and colleges of the Yamal-Nenets autonomous area, Russia; sample size 1532 students in total.

    Together We Are Strong

    TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG Sustainability Report 2018 Sustainable development as a priority. SIBUR’s contribution to reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals With every year that passes, SIBUR has been increasingly paying very close attention to various aspects of sustainable development. The Company sets great store on continuously improving the quality of its products and on strengthening the loyalty of its customers, both direct and indirect alike. We want to keep them abreast of our progress, whether it is how we perform financially, or what we do to help preserve our environment and to enhance the social fabric of our communities. To that end, the Company has been publishing, since 2016, its annual sustainability reports that aim to address those relevant trends that affect both our industry and our society at large. The focus of the 2017 Report was on industry digitalization, a very visible trend that has risen to prominence over the last several years. Digital transition is, indeed, an essential factor of the so-called “new economy”, but it is not the only one. Arguably, a general outline of today’s world and its development course were set out in the United Nations’ framework of what is traditionally perceived as the underpinnings of sustainable development – economic efficiency, social welfare, and environmental security, and concisely summarized as the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) . The thrust of the SDGs is to eliminate existing inequalities in various areas, while preserving the environmental and social equilibrium, and creating new opportunities for all social groups. Governments, private businesses, NGOs, and other national and international actors have been actively pursuing the SDGs since 2015.

    How institutional factors influence economic diversification of the Russian Arctic monoprofile towns (the case of cities in Yamal Nenets autonomous okrug) Nadezhda Zamyatina, Council for the Study of Productive Forces, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, [email protected] Alexander Pelyasov, Council for the Study of Productive Forces Moscow, Russia, [email protected] Paper to be presented at the 53th European Congress of the European Regional Science Association, Palermo, August 27-31, 2013 1 Introduction This research is based on the materials collected during the preparation of the official Strategies of socio-economic development of two oil-dependent cities in Yamal Nenets Autonomous Okrug: city of Muravlenko and city of Gubkinsky. Common viewpoint among the Russian federal and regional authorities that the diversification of monoprofile cities depends only upon the amount of financial resources in the form of state or corporate support seems to be very limited. Our study has demonstrated that many factors are important for the success of economic diversification: for instance, model of local government, scheme of property rights for the major assets; position of the city in the regional settlement pattern; level of entrepreneurial energy of the local community, etc. These factors are interdependent and influence each other. Effect of these factors has become evident after comparative analysis of two Arctic cities of similar specialization. Twin cities? Similar, but different Monoprofile cities of Muravlenko and Gubkinsky are both located in the southern part of the Yamal Nenets Autonomous Okrug. They have similar economic age (years of their foundation were, respectively, 1984 and 1986), similar population (33 thousand and 25 thousand inhabitants).

The main problems of the socio-economic situation of the cities of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, which are primarily connected with the narrow raw material specialization of their economy, are considered in the article. The search for innovative ways of development of cities being resource centers of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation was carried out. The authors substantiate the need to move from the old concepts of industrial development to neoindustrialization. The methodological basis for achieving the goals set in the article are the system approach and statistical methods of analysis. Keywords: The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, livelihoods of the population, social and economic development, innovative development, sustainable development, neoindustrialization, spatial structure, coastal area The northern territories play an important role in the development of Russia. One of the key Arctic regions that make a significant contribution to the economic and energy security of the country is the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District (YNAD), which specializes in the extraction of fuel and energy resources.
