  • Biogas Production in the Russian Federation: Current Status, Potential, and Barriers
    energies Article Biogas Production in the Russian Federation: Current Status, Potential, and Barriers Tatiana Nevzorova Industrial Economics and Management, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Lindstedtsvägen 30, 114 28 Stockholm, Sweden; [email protected] Received: 4 June 2020; Accepted: 9 July 2020; Published: 14 July 2020 Abstract: Russia has signed the Paris Agreement and recently approved its ratification. However, the Russian Government does not consider abandoning the production and use of hydrocarbons to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the goals of the Agreement, Russia must find new innovative solutions. This study demonstrates that biogas is one of the most necessary renewable sources in Russia. Despite this, the deployment of biogas technologies is currently extremely slow. In this regard, to assess their subsequent impact on the Russian energy sector as a whole, it is important to identify the factors that hinder the wider implementation of biogas technologies. Based on the findings, the most critical barriers were identified and discussed in detail. In the light of the results, some policy-related recommendations are also proposed. Keywords: biogas; biomethane; barrier identification; Russia; renewable energy policy 1. Introduction The Paris Agreement, which was enacted in November 2016, aims to replace the Kyoto Protocol, has set the objective to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and keep the global average temperature rise below 2 ◦C compared to the pre-industrial level [1]. The document was signed by representatives of more than 170 countries, including Russia. However, Russia did not ratify it until recently. In September 2019, official news emerged that the Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, has approved the ratification of the Paris Agreement [2,3].

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. So far, Russian migration policy has not formulated a convincing response to this dilemma.

  • Spatial Integration of Siberian Regional Markets

The law of one price serves as a criterion of market integration. The data analyzed are time series of the regional costs of a basket of basic foods (staples basket) over 2001–2015. Pairs of regional markets are divided into four groups: perfectly integrated, conditionally integrated, not integrated but tending towards integration (converging), and neither integrated nor converging. Nonlinear time series models with asymptotically decaying trends describe price convergence. Integration of Siberian regional markets is found to be fairly strong; they are integrated and converging with about 70% of country’s regions (including Siberian regions themselves). Keywords: market integration, law of one price; price convergence; nonlinear trend; Russian regions.

  • Voter Alignments in a Dominant Party System: the Cleavage Structures of the Russian Federation
    Voter alignments in a dominant party system: The cleavage structures of the Russian Federation. Master’s Thesis Department of Comparative Politics November 2015 Ivanna Petrova Abstract This thesis investigates whether there is a social cleavage structure across the Russian regions and whether this structure is mirrored in the electoral vote shares for Putin and his party United Russia on one hand, versus the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and its leader Gennady Zyuganov on the other. In addition to mapping different economic, demographic and cultural factors affecting regional vote shares, this thesis attempts to determine whether there is a party system based on social cleavages in Russia. In addition, as the Russian context is heavily influenced by the president, this thesis investigates whether the same cleavages can explain the distribution of vote shares during the presidential elections. Unemployment, pensioners, printed newspapers and ethnicity create opposing effects during parliamentary elections, while distance to Moscow, income, pensioners, life expectancy, printed newspapers and ethnicity created opposing effects during the presidential elections. The first finding of this thesis is not only that the Russian party system is rooted in social cleavages, but that it appears to be based on the traditional “left-right” cleavage that characterizes all Western industrialized countries. In addition, despite the fact that Putin pulls voters from all segments of the society, the pattern found for the party system persists during presidential elections. The concluding finding shows that the main political cleavage in today’s Russia is between the left represented by the communists and the right represented by the incumbents.

  • 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.

  • History of Radiation and Nuclear Disasters in the Former USSR
    History of radiation and nuclear disasters in the former USSR M.V.Malko Institute of Power Engineering National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Akademicheskaya Str.15, Minsk, 220 000, Republic of Belarus E-mail: [email protected] Abstracts. The report describes the history of radiation and nuclear accidents in the former USSR. These accidents accompanied development of military and civilian use of nuclear energy. Some of them as testing of the first Soviet nuclear, Kyshtym radiation accident, radiation contamination of the Karachai lake and the Techa river, nuclear accidents at the Soviet submarine on August 10, 1985 in the Chazhma Bay (near Vladivostok) as well as nuclear accidents on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl NPP were of large scale causing significant radiological problems for many hundreds thousands of people. There were a number of important reasons of these and other accidents. The most important among them were time pressure by development of nuclear weapon, an absence of required financial and material means for adequate management of problems of nuclear and radiation safety, and inadequate understanding of harmful interaction of ionizing radiation on organism as well as a hypersecrecy by realization of projects of military and civilian use of nuclear energy in the former USSR. Introduction. The first nuclear reactor in the USSR reached the critical state on the 25 December 1946 [1] or 4 years later than reactor constructed by Enrico Fermi [2].
