Th ese immigrants face ex- tremely poor working conditions and they are socially ostracized by the vast majority of the Russian popula- tion. At the same time, immigration could prove to be the solution to the country’s demographic problems, countering the decline of its working population.

  • The Potential for Integration of the Transport Complex of the East of Russia Into the International Market of Transport Services
    BRANCH-WISE ECONOMY DOI: 10.15838/esc.2019.6.66.8 UDC 332.1+339.924, LBC 65.049(2) © Bardal’ A.B. The Potential for Integration of the Transport Complex of the East of Russia into the International Market of Transport Services Anna B. Bardal’ Economic Research Institute, Far Eastern Branch of RAS Khabarovsk, Russian Federation, 153,Tikhookeanskaya Street, 680042 E-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-9944-4714; ResearcherID: V-7615-2017 Abstract. The eastern regions of Russia are the convenient zone in which Russia cooperates with the actively developing Asian region. The key states of North-East Asia such as China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea are the largest participants in world trade at the present stage. The servicing of large- scale commodity flows with the European Union and the U.S. is provided by the market of transport services, by means of which the most effective schemes of delivery are built. Under these conditions, the transport system of the East of Russia has objective prerequisites for integration into the international transport system. The goal of our present study is to assess the potential of integration of the transport system of the Far East in the market of transport services in North-East Asia. At the same time, we assess integration opportunities with the help of dividing the territory of the East of Russia into districts based on the results of cluster analysis. Considering the achievement of the research goal, this approach is a new one. The need for division is due to the fact that the Far East is quite a large region, extremely heterogeneous in its internal composition, economic-geographical and socio-economic characteristics.

Seagrasses have key ecological roles in coastal ecosystems and can form extensive meadows supporting high biodiversity. The global species diversity of seagrasses is low (b60 species), but species can have ranges that extend for thousands of kilometers of coastline. Seagrass bioregions are defined here, based on species assemblages, species distributional ranges, and tropical and temperate influences. Six global bioregions are presented: four temperate and two tropical. The temperate bioregions include the Temperate North Atlantic, the Temperate North Pacific, the Mediterranean, and the Temperate Southern Oceans. The Temperate North Atlantic has low seagrass diversity, the major species being Zostera marina, typically occurring in estuaries and lagoons. The Temperate North Pacific has high seagrass diversity with Zostera spp. in estuaries and lagoons as well as Phyllospadix spp. in the surf zone. The Mediterranean region has clear water with vast meadows of moderate diversity of both temperate and tropical seagrasses, dominated by deep-growing Posidonia oceanica.

  • The Intermediate Performance of Territories of Priority Socio-Economic Development in Russia in Conditions of Macroeconomic Instability
    MATEC Web of Conferences 106, 01028 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/ matecconf/201710601028 SPbWOSCE-2016 The intermediate performance of territories of priority socio-economic development in Russia in conditions of macroeconomic instability Sergey Beliakov1,*, Anna Kapustkina1 1Moscow state university of civil engineering, YaroslavskoyeShosse, 26, Moscow, 12933, Russia Abstract. The Russian economy in recent years has faced the influence of a number of negative factors due to macroeconomic instability and increased foreign policy tensions. In these conditions the considerable constraints faced processes of socio-economic development of regions of the Russian Federation. In this article the authors attempt to analyze the key indicators of socio-economic development of the regions in which it was created and operate in the territories of priority socio-economic development. These territories are concentrated in the Far Eastern Federal District. The article identified, processed, and interpreted indicators, allowing to produce a conclusion on the interim effectiveness of the territories of priority socio-economic development in Russia in conditions of macroeconomic instability. 1 Introduction The main purpose of socio-economic policy is to increase the standard of living, increasing prosperity and ensuring social guarantees to the population. Without these indicators, it is impossible to imagine the effective development of civil society and of the economy as a whole. The crisis in macroeconomics and world politics led to the deterioration of the General economic situation in Russia and, as consequence, decrease in level of living of the population [1, 2]. 2 Experimental section Statistics show that in most Russian regions indicators of the level of living of the population significantly differ from similar indicators in the regional centers.

  • Living in Two Places : Permanent Transiency In
    living in two places: permanent transiency in the magadan region Elena Khlinovskaya Rockhill Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1ER, UK; [email protected] abstract Some individuals in the Kolyma region of Northeast Russia describe their way of life as “permanently temporary.” This mode of living involves constant movements and the work of imagination while liv- ing between two places, the “island” of Kolyma and the materik, or mainland. In the Soviet era people maintained connections to the materik through visits, correspondence and telephone conversations. Today, living in the Kolyma means living in some distant future, constantly keeping the materik in mind, without fully inhabiting the Kolyma. People’s lives embody various mythologies that have been at work throughout Soviet Kolyma history. Some of these models are being transformed, while oth- ers persist. Underlying the opportunities afforded by high mobility, both government practices and individual plans reveal an ideal of permanency and rootedness.

Cambrian units are composed of of feldspar- quartz sandstone, siltstone, shale and limestone and contain abundant Afaciacyathus sp., Bensocyathus sp., Robustocyathus yavorskii, Archaeocyathus yavorskii(Vologalin), Ethomophyllum hinganense Gu,o and other fossils. Ordovicain units consist of feldspar-quartz sandstone, siltstone, fine-grained sandstone and phylitic siltstone, and interlayered metamorphosed muddy siltstone and fine-grained sandstone with brachiopods, corals, and trilobites. Total thickness ranges up to 4,370 m. Basin unconformably overlies the Argunsky metamorphic terrane.

Present-day situation, trends and opportunities for developing a fire prevention, elimination and control system were in the focus of attention. Existing data and materials have been studied to reveal forest fire impact on environment as well as Project environmental impact. Project under consideration is aimed at improving current fire management system and strengthening protection of ecoregion forests from degradation, which make it extremely socially and ecologically valuable and important. 3 List of Specialists Senior researcher, C.Biol.Sc.
