KARBAINOV, Research Fellow E-mail: [email protected] Sociological Institute of the RAS — a branch of the Federal Research Sociological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia Abstract. The article is devoted to the socio-economic adaptation of single-industry towns’ population on the example of single-industry settlements in the North-West of Russia. The work’s theoretical and meth- odological framework is the approaches of scientists who study the grassroots practices of survival of small towns and villages (seasonal work, commuting, a distributed way of life, the informal economy). The empir- ical base of the study are statistical data collected from the databases of EMISS, SPARK Interfax, the Foun- dation for the Development of Single-Industry Towns, websites of administrations of single-industry set- tlements in the Northwestern Federal District, as well as data from field studies collected by the method of semi-formalized interviews with representatives of administrations and deputies of city and regional coun- cils, with ordinary residents of single-industry towns in Republic of Karelia, Leningrad and Vologda oblasts. -
The Role of the Republic of Karelia in Russia's Foreign and Security Policy
Eidgenössische “Regionalization of Russian Foreign and Security Policy” Technische Hochschule Zürich Project organized by The Russian Study Group at the Center for Security Studies and Conflict Research Andreas Wenger, Jeronim Perovic,´ Andrei Makarychev, Oleg Alexandrov WORKING PAPER NO.5 MARCH 2001 The Role of the Republic of Karelia in Russia’s Foreign and Security Policy DESIGN : SUSANA PERROTTET RIOS This paper gives an overview of Karelia’s international security situation. The study By Oleg B. Alexandrov offers an analysis of the region’s various forms of international interactions and describes the internal situation in the republic, its economic conditions and its potential for integration into the European or the global economy. It also discusses the role of the main political actors and their attitude towards international relations. The author studies the general problem of center-periphery relations and federal issues, and weighs their effects on Karelia’s foreign relations. The paper argues that the international contacts of the regions in Russia’s Northwest, including those of the Republic of Karelia, have opened up opportunities for new forms of cooperation between Russia and the EU. These contacts have en- couraged a climate of trust in the border zone, alleviating the negative effects caused by NATO’s eastward enlargement. Moreover, the region benefits economi- cally from its geographical situation, but is also moving towards European standards through sociopolitical modernization.

The new module allows to perform every warehouse operation, including arrival of raw materials, processing along the technological chain, storage and shipment, via any operator mobile device (tablet PC or smartphone) and place the corresponding information in the general database. In addition, the integration of the barcode scanners will significantly facilitate the information workflow including shipments status within the facility. “At both our production facilities in Germany and Denmark warehousing operations have been fully integrated with SAP, and will now be performed quickly and transparently,” said Michael Amann, Manager for Development and Support of Business Systems at Segezha Packaging. “A simple and intuitive operation algorithm will not require any special knowledge of the SAP platform. The probability of any mistakes has been reduced to a minimum, because less data will be entered manually.” *** Segezha Group is one of the Russia’s largest vertically integrated forest holdings, with a full cycle of logging and advanced wood processing.
