Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector
THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/17/2013 GAIN Report Number: RS1335 Russian Federation Post: Moscow Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector Report Categories: Livestock and Products Policy and Program Announcements Agricultural Situation Approved By: Holly Higgins Prepared By: FAS/Moscow Staff Report Highlights: Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector had been in continual decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches. The Russian Federal and oblast governments offer a series of support programs meant to stimulate livestock development in the Russian Federation over the next seven years which are funded at hundreds of billions of Russian rubles (almost $10 billion). These programs are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry. Monies have been allocated for both new construction and modernization of old livestock farms, purchase of domestic and imported of high quality breeding dairy and beef cattle, semen and embryos; all of which should have a direct and favorable impact on livestock genetic exports to Russia through 2020. General Information: Trade Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector has been in decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches which are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry.

Communicational Ties Between the Republic of Bashkortostan and Other Russian Regions Based on Voice Cell Phone Data
RESEARCH PAPER COMMUNICATIONAL TIES BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN AND OTHER RUSSIAN REGIONS BASED ON VOICE CELL PHONE DATA Valeriy V. Yumaguzin1, Maria V. Vinnik1 1National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE), Moscow, Russia. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: May 24th, 2020 / Accepted: August 9th, 2020 / Published: October 1st, 2020 https://DOI-10.24057/2071-9388-2020-98 ABSTRACT. The article aims to present social ties of the Republic of Bashkortostan based on voice cell phone data, which covers 12 million calls from and to the region during the first five days of March 2020. About 96% of calls are made within the republic and only 4% of them are interregional. The people of the Republic of Bashkortostan have close connections with those who live in neighboring regions (Orenburg, Sverdlovsk oblast, the Republic of Tatarstan and especially Chelyabinsk oblast). Being a part of the Ural Economic Region, the Volga Federal District and Volga-Ural Macro Region, the republic has turned mostly towards Ural regions. We also found that the republic has close social ties with Moscow and Moscow region, St. Petersburg and Leningrad oblast, as well as Krasnodar kray, Samara oblast and two Autonomous Districts: Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets. We estimated the number of persons who possessed Bashkir SIM-card and were outside the republic during the research period – 183 thousand; the most of them were in the abovementioned regions. While conversation between residents lasts 50 seconds, which is among the smallest values, the calls to and from republics of Altai, Tyva, Khakassia, Sakha and Magadan oblast are 5-8 times longer.

Digital Component of People's Quality of Life in Russia
Studies in Business and Economics no. 14(2)/2019 DOI 10.2478/sbe-2019-0029 SBE no. 14(2) 2019 DIGITAL COMPONENT OF PEOPLE'S QUALITY OF LIFE IN RUSSIA PETROV SERGEY Novosibirsk State Technical University, Faculty of Business, Novosibirsk, Russia MASLOV MIKHAIL Novosibirsk State Technical University, Faculty of Business, Novosibirsk, Russia KARELIN ILYA Novosibirsk State Technical University, Faculty of Business, Novosibirsk, Russia Abstract: The term “people's quality of life” has not been given any widespread explanation in the context of society digital transformation. There are six attributes specified to characterize digital component of people's quality of life. Basing on official statistics data, subindices for the corresponding data blocks were computed. A mixed method to estimate the digital component of people's quality of life was used. Also, the Russian index of digital component of people's quality of life was defined for the whole country and for its federal districts. The results of computations allowed to characterize the changes in subindices within blocks and in the integral index covering eight federal districts and in Russia in the whole for the period of 2015–2017. Positive dynamics of the Russian index of digital component of people's quality of life was revealed with some fluctuations for different federal districts. Key words: Digital transformation, Index, Quality of life, Ranking, Federal districts of Russia 1. Introduction Digital transformation of economy involves all spheres of people and organizations activities. It suggests the alteration of technological paradigm, traditional markets as well as institutional structure of society, in which it is now necessary to consider interaction of formal and informal, market and non-market institutions as well as those corresponding to digital and non-digital processes etc.

Social Immunity As a Source of Sustainable Development of the Regional Economy
E3S Web of Conferences 208, 03025 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202020803025 IFT 2020 Social immunity as a source of sustainable development of the regional economy Julia Myslyakova Ural State University of Economics, 8 Marta Str., 62, 620144 Ekaterinburg, Russia Abstract. At present, the problems of sustainable economic development still remain relevant for many regions. This research presents the idea that the stability of the territorial economy and the socially safe state of society are interrelated. The hypothesis was formulated that social immunity of the region is one of the sources of its sustainable economic development. To prove this hypothesis the following tasks were solved: social immunity assessment methodology was developed; the methodology was tested on the territories of the Ural region; the dependence of the territorial sustainable development on its social immunity was revealed. The methodology allows us to model the core of social immunity of any territory. It is based on the Frobenius norm, which reflects both positive and negative transformations of society. Approbation of the methodology for assessing social immunity was carried out on the example of the Sverdlovsk, Kurgan, Chelyabinsk and Tyumen oblasts during 2010-2018. The research made it possible to prove the hypothesis and to conclude that lack of social immunity in the region leads to poor economic effects received by business entities and the territory's susceptibility to economic destabilizing external impacts, which are both random and systematic. 1 Introduction At present, the concept of "immunity", which comes from medicine and means the body's defense mechanism opposing external and internal pathogens, is increasingly used in various scientific fields.
