Some companies pointed to the need to develop the infrastructure of RBCP «Svetogorsk». Timber industry companies have noted plans to increase the export of their products to Finland. The export growth expected by companies in 2020 compared with 2017 will be from 10% to 300%, and in 2035 it is expected to grow from 25% to 600%.

  • Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R
    STUDIA FORESTALIA SUECICA NR 39 1966 Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. An Analysis of Soviet Competitive Potentialities Skogsekonomi i Sovjet~rnionen rned en unalys av landets potentiella konkurrenskraft by KARL VIICTOR ALGTTERE SICOGSH~GSICOLAN ROYAL COLLEGE OF FORESTRY STOCKHOLM Lord Keynes on the role of the economist: "He must study the present in the light of the past for the purpose of the future." Printed in Sweden by ESSELTE AB STOCKHOLM Foreword Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. is a special study of the forestry sector of the Soviet economy. As such it makes a further contribution to the studies undertaken in recent years to elucidate the means and ends in Soviet planning; also it attempts to assess the competitive potentialities of the U.S.S.R. in international trade. Soviet studies now command a very great interest and are being undertaken at some twenty universities and research institutes mainly in the United States, the United Kingdoin and the German Federal Republic. However, it would seem that the study of the development of the forestry sector has riot received the detailed attention given to other fields. In any case, there have not been any analytical studies published to date elucidating fully the connection between forestry and the forest industries and the integration of both in the economy as a whole. Studies of specific sections have appeared from time to time, but I have no knowledge of any previous study which gives a complete picture of the Soviet forest economy and which could faci- litate the marketing policies of the western world, being undertaken at any university or college.

Local and central authorities have utilised public monuments and other symbols there as a way of «inventing tradition» [15], and narrating about conflict, cooperation and even collaboration legacies. The metaphor of «integration laboratories» [13] makes them perfect places for border (re)negotiation [5]. Referring also to Reinhart Koselleck’s [27] ideas concerning war memorials we argue that monuments represent symbols exhibited in public space: they have a specific function, in hinting something, «which does not exist as a thing or matter immediately perceptible to the senses» [38, p.40]. Moreover, a symbol «tells about some other reality and is the crystallization of a linguistic description» [38, p. 40]. In this way, «materially existing objects are often useful in embodying and presenting abstract ideas, such as unfriendly relations, international socialism or EU integration, as well as strengthening a populace in their convictions toward these ideas» [5, p.

    KYMENLAAKSON AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU University of Applied Sciences Energy Engineering Double Degree / Specialization Iuliia Gerlitc Rinat Biktuganov A REVIEW TO WIND ENERGY UTILIZATION IN NORTH-WEST RUSSIA Bachelor’s Thesis 2013 ABSTRACT KYMENLAAKSON AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU University of Applied Sciences Energy Engineering Gerlitc Iuliia Biktuganov Rinat A Review to Wind Energy Utilization in North-West Russia Bachelor’s Thesis 79 pages + 1 page of appendices Supervisor Mäkelä Merja, Principal Lecturer Commissioned by Empower Oy November 2013 Keywords Wind turbines, electrical grid, and grid connection The problem of using renewable energy sources is studied in this thesis work. The at- tention is concentrated on the feasibilities of using the wind energy in the North-West Russia and on some problems which can appear. Some of them are the place of a pos- sible wind farm, laws of new sources connection, and the protection of the electrical grid. The aim of the work was to realize the possibility of inserting new energy resources into the Russian electrical grid and the importance of using renewables. An answer was sought to the question why the country network had no changes for a long time and what factors are preventing the changes. The study was carried out with the help of technical encyclopedias and energy com- panies official websites. Some information was retrieved through the conversation with specialists from the largest Russian energy companies. The idea of inserting new energy resources in the Russian economy looks very prom- ising. Naturally, some investments and time are needed. In the next few years the problem of renewables will become very actual and then this work will be very useful.

  • Trends in Population Change and the Sustainable Socio-Economic Development of Cities in North-West Russia
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BALTIC REGION TRENDS IN POPULATION CHANGE AND THE SUSTAINABLE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES IN NORTH-WEST RUSSIA A. A. Anokhin K. D. Shelest M. A. Tikhonova Saint Petersburg State University Received 21 November 2018 7—9 Universitetskaya emb., Saint Petersburg, Russia, 199034 doi: 10.5922/2079-8555-2019-4-3 © Anokhin A. A., Shelest K. D., Tikhonova M. A., 2019 The Northwestern Federal District is a Russian macro-region that is a unique example of a model region. It accounts for 10 % of the country’s total area and 9.5 % of its population. This article aims to trace the patterns of city distribution across the region, to assess the conditions of differently populated cities and towns, and to identify sustainability trends in their socio-economic development. Population change is a reliable indicator of the competitiveness of a city. As a rule, a growing city performs well economically and has a favourable investment climate and high-paid jobs. The analysis revealed that population change occurred at different rates across the federal district in 2002—2017. A result of uneven socio-economic development, this irregularity became more serious as globalisation and open market advanced. The study links the causes and features of growth-related differences to the administrative status, location, and economic specialisation of northwestern cities. The migration behaviour of the population and the geoeconomic position are shown to be the main indicators of the sustainable development of a city. Keywords: cities, urban population, Northwestern Federal District, city classification, population, city sustainability Introduction When studying the urban population distribution and its dynamics over the past decades, it is necessary to take into account the territorial heterogeneity of To cite this article: Anokhin, A.
