Today, humanity is moving to a new stage in the development of civilization, moving from the information age to the digital one. determine the relationship of technologies If previous technologies provided a human with information for making and the possibilities of their synchronization decisions, today they allow him to receive raw data, process it, propose solutions and put them into practice without his participation. Moreover, -beyond the scope of the planning horizon, excluding a human from decision-making, it is important not to forget that it is a human who should be the beneficiary of all transformations. Data is the and in general, we will give the definition of subject of the new economy, but its object, for which data works, is a person - his vital needs. «digital horizon». Information, including in digital form, is already widely used in the economy. The influence of digital technologies on all aspects of life is only growing, and But only when the data begins to control the processes in the enterprise, at the same time, competition is increasing, both for the search for better become the basis of the business, we can talk about digital transformation, solutions and for the establishment of new regulatory standards. Moreover, that "information has become data." Data becomes the foundation of the the role of human in the economy is radically changing. Previously, digital economy and this gives us the opportunity to interconnect different technology was definitely FOR a person. Perhaps the time will come when a technologies and get synergies from their development. human will be FOR technology. How to maintain a balance and find such a vector for the development of technologies that technologies are always FOR A key object in the development of the digital economy is human - his needs, a human and this balance is not violated. rights and obligations, his life in society.

  • International Organizations and Globalizations of Russian Regions
    International Organizations and Globalization of Russian Regions Introduction Why is it so important to raise the issue of globalization for Russia and her regions? Despite the underdevelopment of Russia’s version of globalization, the international community in general and specific foreign countries in particular do have their impact on internal developments in Russia. Sometimes the effects of globalization are not visible enough, but they cannot be disregarded. In spite of his inward-oriented rhetoric, President Putin’s federal reform launched in May 2000 to some extent was inspired by developments outside Russia. These were the foreign investors who were confused by the tug-of-war between the federal center and the regions, and who called for a reshuffle of the federal system in Russia to avoid conflicts between federal and regional laws and get rid of regional autarchy. What is also telling is that Putin intends to implement his federal reform in accordance with formal democratic procedures, keeping in mind Western sensitivity to these issues. The shift of power from the center to the regional actors was the major development in Russian politics in the beginning of the 1990s. Yet the Russian regions are not equal players on the international scene. Not all of them are capable of playing meaningful roles internationally, and these roles can be quite different for each one. Three groups of constituent parts of the Federation ought to be considered as the most important Russian sub-national actors in the international arena. The first group comprises those regions with a strong export potential (industrial regions or those rich in mineral resources[1]).

  • Note a Soviet-German Military Collaboration Throughout
    NOTE A SOVIET-GERMAN MILITARY COLLABORATION THROUGHOUT this period, the secret military agreements formed the hard kernel of Soviet-German relations. Since only those im­ mediately concerned were initiated into the details of this collaboration, and the records, at any rate on the German side, were systematically destroyed, information about it is intermittent and imperfect. Colla­ boration in aeronautical matters is the best documented, and was probably the most important. Early in 1924 a crisis occurred in the affairs of the Junkers aircraft factory at Fili, operated under a concession agreement from the Soviet Government. 1 The Reichswehr demanded a large expansion of the Fili enterprise and the association with Junkers of another firm specializ­ ing in the manufacture of aircraft engines (apparently the Bayerische Motorenwerke) - a project which from the outset encountered strong opposition from Junkers.2 As a result of negotiations a new agreement was signed on May S' 1924, between Sondergruppe R. of the Reichswehr Ministry, the Junkers firm and the Soviet authorities. Under this agreement, or on the occasion of it, the Reichswehr promised to Junkers a further subvention of eight million gold marks, in addition to four millions already advanced, for the extension of the factory at Fili; the Soviet authorities promised to place a large order for aircraft for the Red Fleet.J The shortage of Soviet orders for Fili was one of a list of grievances put forward by Brockdorff-Rantzau in an interview with Trotsky a month later.4 But the question of the supply of aero­ plane engines remained acute; and in June 1924 Rozengolts was trying I See The Bolshevik Revolution, I9I7-I9Z3, Vol.

Winter Edition Katowice, Poland 09 January 2020 BRANDING AS A MARKETING INSTRUMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Irina Glinskaya1 1 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0382-8466 RUDN University Institute of World Economy and Business, World Economy Department 6 Miklukho-Maklaya str, 117198, Moscow, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The image should summarize and emphasize the worthiness and properties that the country offers to the world. Such aspects of the country carry immense value in the competition, as the probability that the consumer will make a choice on the country increases. The image of Russia is formed as a representation of her individuals, social groups and peoples, usually in a historical context, reflecting cultural and national characteristics of a community. However, the perception of the image depends on the existence of common interests or conflicts of interest of whose image is perceived and who perceives it. Value orientation, traditions, behaviors, habits, ethnic and cultural factors play an important role in this process. The objective of this article - to research positive and negative perception of Russia in the world and give recommendations how to use cultural and historical wealth in creating the brand-image of Russian regions and cities and the brand-image of Russian Federation. The methods used in the article are: comparative method, analysis, conducting surveys. The results are given in the comprehensive program at the end of the article and can be used in the process of brand building. In the conclusion of the article the author gives stresses the significance of the brand-image and the process of branding in the context of regional development.

Pigin Institute of Linguistics, History and Literature, Karelian Research Centre of RAS, Petrozavodsk, Russia [email protected] Abstract The article deals with the problems of studying folk hagiography, a complex of peasants’ written and oral texts, which contain information about saints or revered non-canon- ized devotees and express the very specifics of the popular understanding of holiness. The first half of the article discusses the phenomenon of folk hagiography, defines the range of folklore genres, reflecting folk beliefs about saints, and investigates the mecha- nisms of interaction between the written and oral traditions. The second half analyzes texts and religious practices related to the folk worship of the non-canonized elder Judas Koneschelsky (Archangelsk North). There are following sources for the study of this cult: judicial documents of the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries, a peasant’s diary of the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries, local priests’ notes from that time, and field data, collected by folklorists at the beginning of the 21th century.

  • The Image of Russia Formed by Means of Modern Russian Paper Money
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 15, 7868-7879 OPEN ACCESS The Image of Russia Formed by Means of Modern Russian Paper Money Elena A. Dzhandzhugazovaa, Mikhail Y. Laykoa, Elena L. Ilinaa, Aleksander N. Latkina and Ekaterina N. Valedinskayaa aPlekhanov Russian University of Economics, Moscow, RUSSIA ABSTRACT The relevance of the problem posed in the article is caused by the fact that under current conditions it is necessary to develop a comprehensive, but a complete image of Russia as a huge Eurasian state on the basis of effective use of scientific and practical approaches proposed by marketing of territories and tools used in the practice of territorial branding. The purpose of the article is to examine the role and socio-cultural value of paper money as an important instrument of state monetary policy and at the same time an integral attribute of everyday life. The leading methods of investigation of the defined problem are the methods of sociological research and modeling, allowing on the base of an analysis of public opinion research results to highlight the main objects-symbols that Russians prefer to see on modern Russian paper banknotes. The article offers an integrated scientific grouping of objects-symbols on the basis of which it is supposed to form visual images of Russian area space and that then will be reflected on paper banknotes. On the basis of conducted comparative analysis of the objects-symbols selected for banknotes in 1997 and 2016, conclusions about the stability of preferences of Russians are made, and also the fact of increasing symbolic value of Russian paper money is emphasized, despite an increase of the growth of non-cash turnover.

  • The Export of Russian Cotton Fabrics and the Commercial Network of Asian Merchants in the First Half of the 19Th Century
    РОССИЙСКАЯ ИСТОРИЯ 41 УДК 94 (47).072/073+339.1-054.6 DOI 10.25205/1818-7919-2019-18-1-41-55 The Export of Russian Cotton Fabrics and the Commercial Network of Asian Merchants in the First Half of the 19th Century. Part 2 M. Shiotani Tohoku University Sendai, Japan Abstract The paper is devoted to the study of how commercial networks of Bukharan and Chinese merchants were used for the export of Russian cotton fabrics in the first half of the 19th century. Bukharan merchants dominated the central core of Silk Road trade in Central Asia, and developed the trade with not only Russia, but also Eurasian countries including China and India. Shanxi merchants built close relations with the Chinese government and established the commercial and financial system in their own country. Asian trade was carried out in harmony with natural environments. Many re- gions in Eurasia belonged to the steppes, and this ecological system was suitable for livestock farming including camels, horses and mules, used as a means of transportation. However this trade system of one year cycles could not adapt to the subsequent periods of innovation when the steam engine and fossil fuels were introduced in the field of production, and when mass production was realized.

  • Transport and Logistics Sector of the Region of Nizhny Novgorod (Russia)
    TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SECTOR OF THE REGION OF NIZHNY NOVGOROD (RUSSIA) The Nizhny Novgorod region is one of 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, located almost centrally in the European part of Russia and about 400 km east of its capital, Moscow, and some 900 km south-east of St. Petersburg. The region, home to a population of about 3.3 million, is the administrative centre of the Greater Volga Federal district, which incorporates 13 other regions of European Russia with 29.6 m residents, thus comprising 20.25% of the country’s total population. Nizhny Novgorod was founded in 1221 and is now the 3rd largest city in the European part of Russia, with the population of 1.3 m. The chapter that Nizhny has in Russian history is very rich, as the city, located around the confluence of two longest rivers of European Russia, the Volga and the Oka, was (and still is) right on one of the liveliest trade routes’ crossroads between Europe and Asia. This fact turned the settlement into a flourishing centre of commerce: the Nizhny Novgorod Fair evolved into Russia’s most important trade site in the 18-19th and early 20th centuries, where world prices for grain, iron and furs were set for many decades. During its heyday, Nizhny Novgorod was called the “wallet” (or “pocket”) of Russia, while Moscow – its heart, and St. Petersburg, the capital then, its head. Today’s region of Nizhny, alongside with its array of industries (machine building and automotive, chemical and petrochemical, building and construction, transport and shipbuilding, tourism and hospitality, IT, etc.), remains an important centre of trade and distribution, having evolved into the one of the largest logistics’ hub of European Russia today.
