It contains data on the Moscow and St. Petersburg real estate markets for the third quarter of the current year. At the capital market we see a dramatic growth of investment volume, with the Moscow share drastically increased and the St. Petersburg share sharply declined. Frank Schauff Among major trends in retail sector is the rise in the number of international brands Chief Executive Officer, which entered the Russian market. Association of European Businesses As for the office part, it traditionally reviews office take-up, asking rents and key new projects. The warehouse market is marked by low share of speculative construction, and a high rate of take-up in regions. Comparison of average daily rates and occupancy dynamics at the Moscow hotels for the period of 2018-2019 is provided in the hospitality part. Finally, the housing market section comprises data on supply, demand, budget rates, and tenants’ profile. As usual, the St. Petersburg part traditionally covers average rents in the office market, vacancy rate in shopping centres, and volume of the warehouse market completions. I express genuine gratitude to members of the AEB Real Estate Committee for their activities. Valuable inputs provided for “Real Estate Monitors” on a quarterly basis are so much appreciated. Dear readers, as we are embracing 2020, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! The coming year is remarkable for us, as the AEB will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Various tasks have already been accomplished due to enormous efforts and ongoing support rendered by member companies, and I hope that a myriad of other fruitful outcomes will be delivered in the future. AEB Real Estate Monitor | 4/2019 1 AEB Real Estate Monitor | 4/2019 Introduction Dear readers, The proportion of Generation Z in the market is growing. They are also technology- savvy, which means they will demand the increased use of high tech solutions in all real estate process, whether related to buying or selling an asset, or investing. Generation Z’s digital-native expectations are driving companies to innovate faster and compete on a digital rather than a physical landscape. Tatjana Kovalenko The biggest trends of last year were AI, IoT and big data. Smart homes and smart Chairperson of the AEB offices are now a reality, and only becoming more advanced in their capabilities. This Real Estate Committee, leads to changes in urban development as well. Deputy General Director, SENDLER & COMPANY In 2019, transformation to the new era of stagnation 2.0 is finished in Russia. Slow growth, redundant regulation, permanent lawmaking and campaigns to stimulate development manually are the main characteristics of the new cycle. The investment market is showing its first signs of revival. In addition, the Russian market is now more focused on internal investments. The net outflow of foreign capital is low, with only EUR 67 million leaving Russia in 9 months. Construction and real estate are still in the credit compression stage. Generation Z cares about their health, especially mental health, and is more stress- sensitive than previous generations. This emotional fragility affects their patterns. This stimulates developers to show an increasing interest in rethinking concepts and extending existing properties in all real estate sectors. For example, lower consumer activity stimulates retailers to search for new sales channels, diversify formats, introduce new technologies and collaborate with other market players. Since 1995, when Amazon shipped its first book out of a garage in Seattle, consumers have grown to embrace the “e-tail” lifestyle. In particular, millennials and generation Z are driving demand for goods and services to be delivered to their doorstep. This trend is not expected to stop, and e-retailers are quickly snapping up industrial-use buildings and land to be as close as possible to the consumer base they need to serve. To stay as close to their target markets as possible, e-retailers are also opening warehouses in urban locations and taking advantage of these densely populated areas’ built-in employee bases. We see such trends in Russia as well, where OZON, Wildberries, Lamoda and many other are continuing to develop their warehouses throughout Russia to be closer to their consumers. Please enjoy the following, and we’re looking forward to welcoming you at our Committee meetings and events! 2 AEB Real Estate Monitor | 4/2019 Moscow market overview | Capital market AEB Real Estate Monitor | 4/2019 Russia real estate investment market | Q1 2019 Russia real Russiaestate real investment estate investment market |market Q1 2019 | Q1 2019 RMoscowussia r marketeal es overviewtate RussiRinussivae sratmeal reale net se tmsatataertkeet iCapitalnves market,tme nQ3t 2019market inve• In Qs1 2019,tm the investmeent nvolumet inc remased by 32a% YroY tok USD979emt, the indicator reached its highest level for the last three years. • In Q1-Q3 2019, the investment volume increased by deals closed in other regions (outside Moscow and St. Pe- 36%• The sigYoYnifi ctoan tUSD inves tme2.5n billion,t volume Q3incr e2019ase at volumethe beginn reacheding of the yUSDear c an btersburg)e explained baccountedy a few large tforransa 9%.ctio ns which were postponed from • In Q1 2019,• I2018n t heQ1 i2019,tnov 2019.estme the nintv veosltmeument ivncolrumeeased inc breyas 32ed% b YyoY 32 %to Y USD979oY to USD979m, them ,i tndhei catindoicatr roera rcheeached itds ihtsig hheighests lte lveevel lf oforr t thhee lalast thrreeee y yeeaars.rs. 873 million, up 60% from Q3 2018 figure. • Prime yields compressed by 25 bps in all sectors in Q3 2019. • The signifi••c TheaThent sigionffivneceifistmec saecnttn ointr v voccupeosltmeumeinedt i ncv tohelrumee laseadie inc antgr e tpohasesitie be aont gith nnien beQing1gi 2019, nnof ingthe a o cyfc etouhearn yctieanarng fbcoaern 39e bxpe% laie oxpfned tlaihened btoyt albay fv eaow lfumee wla rlag. reRge etsir tansaderansantialcctiti o(laonsnsnd ww phloichts fworee rree sip pdeoostpnstptialono edned fr omfrom 2018 to 2019.• 2018dTheev e lt opmeooffice 2019.nt) asectornd retail occupiedfollowed, wit theh 27 leading% and 22 %position respecti vinely .

  • James Rowson Phd Thesis Politics and Putinism a Critical Examination
    Politics and Putinism: A Critical Examination of New Russian Drama James Rowson A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Royal Holloway, University of London Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance September 2017 1 Declaration of Authorship I James Rowson hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis will contextualise and critically explore how New Drama (Novaya Drama) has been shaped by and adapted to the political, social, and cultural landscape under Putinism (from 2000). It draws on close analysis of a variety of plays written by a burgeoning collection of playwrights from across Russia, examining how this provocative and political artistic movement has emerged as one of the most vehement critics of the Putin regime. This study argues that the manifold New Drama repertoire addresses key facets of Putinism by performing suppressed and marginalised voices in public arenas. It contends that New Drama has challenged the established, normative discourses of Putinism presented in the Russian media and by Putin himself, and demonstrates how these productions have situated themselves in the context of the nascent opposition movement in Russia. By doing so, this thesis will offer a fresh perspective on how New Drama’s precarious engagement with Putinism provokes political debate in contemporary Russia, and challenges audience members to consider their own role in Putin’s autocracy. The first chapter surveys the theatrical and political landscape in Russia at the turn of the millennium, focusing on the political and historical contexts of New Drama in Russian theatre and culture.

As is customary, we present annual reports on challenges in the realization of the rights to freedom of conscience and the principle of state secularism, and on overuse and misuse of anti-extremism laws. Since 2017, instead of a single, large report on radical nationalism, hate crimes, and the efforts by the state and the society to counteract these phenomena, this collection comprises two reports: the first one concerns hate crimes and counteraction to them, the second one covers other aspects of anti-extremism policies. The reports in this collection are updated versions of the original reports published on the SOVA Center’s website. The appendix provides details and statistics on the hate crimes and the prosecution of “extremist crimes”. All data were compiled on February 19, 2021.

During 2010 approximately 430 apartments in elite new-build residential complexes were sold in Moscow. In 2008 almost the same number of new-build transactions were closed. It is obvious that the market is starting to revive and has returned to pre-crisis demand levels. The growing demand together with the limited supply caused a dynamic increase of prices in the elite segment. According to our estimates, at the end of 2010 the average price of a square meter in new-build elite residential complexes was 16,900 USD per sq.m. Over the year dollar prices have grown by 35% and now lag behind the pre-crisis maximum level by 26%. Average prices for elite apartments have grown for 14 months in a row.

  • UMEÅ UNIVERSITY Modeling Income-Based Residential Segregation In
    UMEÅ UNIVERSITY Modeling Income-Based Residential Segregation in Moscow, Russian Federation by Leyla Akhmetzyanova A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND ECONOMIC HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE MASTER’S PROGRAM IN SPATIAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT UMEÅ, SWEDEN JUNE, 2015 © Leyla Akhmetzyanova 2015 Abstract This thesis investigates spatial patterns of income-based residential segregation at the neighborhood level in the Russian capital city Moscow within new administrative boundaries, which have received relatively little attention in prior studies. It is argued that Moscow faces high levels of income inequality exacerbated by growing levels of spatial segregation between the affluent and prestigious Center – South-West and poor industrial South – South-East. Applying a whole set of quantitative methods complemented with computer mapping techniques, based on the latest 2013 data by the City of Moscow Territorial Branch of the Federal State Statistics and 2010 Census data, this study provides new insights into spatial differentiation processes and elaborates policy solutions aimed at addressing economic disparities in the city. A key finding of this thesis is that income segregation in the study area has been driven to a larger extent by the isolation of very poor neighborhoods from middle- and upper-income areas. Keywords: Moscow, income, residential segregation, spatial analysis, poverty, affluence, inequality ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor Olle Stjernström for his excellent teaching, patient guidance, assistance and considerable contribution to the overall improvement of this study. I have the great admiration for his sense of the analytical mind and inexhaustible creativity.
