Chart 50 . • Preface One of the many difficulties encountered by those 7/ho deal with Soviet statistics is the fluidity of the territorial-administrative structure. Hot only are the names of the territorial sub-divisions frequently changed, but their boundaries change also. This introduces numerous complications into any statistical comparisons relating to particular regions in the USSR, and unless the student is aware of the changes in the statistical base, may lead him into serious error. Thus, a comparison of textile production in the Moscow Oblast in 1930 rath that in 1959 would lead to an erroneous conclusion, since in 1935 and again in 1937 parts of the original ilosccw Oblast were detached to form new oblasts« The problem is still further complicated by the practice of creating new administrative areas out of parts of two or more existing areas rather than by the simple partition of one existing area into two or more new administrative areas. i/ Thi: Guide is an attempt to record the o&rtitioning and frequent repartitioning of the Soviet Union Into :di.iinistrstive subdivisions. In setting down the historical sequence of changes that have been made in the boundaries ana organisation of these units. the point - Vi of departure has been — except i- i i o case of the Union Republics and the Autonomous Republics — die date of organization of an area as a krai or oblast. Changes have been recorded up until the first week in Hay 1945. Only major repertitionings have been included, for minor adjustments of boundrxit-.s are not only unimportant in most cases, but have been so hrecuent as to rend Uilv. sk of compiling a complete record o* miom. ^too difficult for the time available. The figures for areas ere in square miles as of Hay 1940, unless other¬ wise indicated. The population figures, except where other dates are given, arc based on the census of 1953. "Then population figures for administrative centers arc not given, the town in question had in most cases a population of loss than 50,000 at the time of the last census. The index lists, with page references, all the territorial subdivisions, regardless of category, in alphabetical order. Attached to the Guid-w is a chart whio i shows the territorial- administrative structure of the USSR in terms of the administrative units in existence on 1 May 1945. l/ For a general discussio of the theory of Soviet “rogionising" see J.

Lomonosov, 163002, Severnaya Dvina Emb., 17, Arkhangelsk, Russia 2 Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, 26, Yaroslavskoeshosse, 129337, Moscow, Russia Abstract. The development of the construction industry, conducting construction in accordance with standard projects, and transforming the construction materials industry in hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas will make significant progress in solving the housing problem. Industrialization of housing construction is a catalyst for strong growth of the region’s economy and the quality of life of citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of industrialization of the territory’s construction complex and its development potential for increasing the volume of low-rise housing stock. Research tasks: 1) assessment of the need to develop housing construction, including low-rise housing, on a particular territory; 2) development of a methodology for calculating the level of industrialization of construction in the area under consideration to determine the possibility of developing low-rise housing construction in this area in the proposed way; 3) approbation of the method using the example of rural areas of the Arkhangelsk region. It was revealed that the districts of the Arkhangelsk region have medium and low levels of industrialization. The districts that are most in need of an increase in the rate of housing construction have been identified.

  • 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.

  • “General Government” Sector, According to the SNA Methodology, Has a Redistributive Function
    E3S Web of Conferences 222, 05011 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202022205011 DAIC 2020 Problems of Developing Municipalities’ Financial Balances on the Example of the "General Government" Sector Alexey Pasynkov* Institute of Economics, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moskovskaya Str., 29, Yekaterinburg, Russia Abstract. The article deals with the problems of developing financial balances at the municipal level, based on the principles of constructing the System of National Accounts. The problems of methodological nature and information content of financial balances are described, possible ways of their solution are proposed. The author's methodology for determining the share of the "General Government" sector in the economy of municipalities has been developed. In the absence of data on value-added areas, proposed to use wage data by types of economic activity. On this basis, we calculated the contribution of local and state budgets in the expenditures of the "General Government" sector in the municipalities of the Khanty- Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra. On average, financing of wages in this sector is provided by federal and regional authorities at 60.86% in the region. The smallest value among municipalities is in the city of Pokachi (9.88%), the greatest dependence on the financing of the region and the federation is in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk (85.5%), Surgut (over 65%) and Yugorsk (slightly less than 64%). 1 Introduction In recent years, issues of sustainable development of territories have been considered from different positions: environmental, economic, technological, food, financial, etc. [1-3]. Since the concept of "sustainability" is a diverse phenomenon, in economic terms, research on this topic is multidirectional [4].

  • Cultural, Spatial, and Legal Displacement of the Korean Diaspora in the USSR: 1937-1945
    Article Cultural, Spatial, and Legal Displacement of the Korean Diaspora in the USSR: 1937-1945 Jonathan Otto POHL The Review of Korean Studies Volume 21 Number 1 (December 2018): 171-188 ©2018 by the Academy of Korean Studies. All rights reserved. 172 The Review of Korean Studies Introduction The Soviet deportation of the Russian-Koreans in 1937 greatly altered their legal status, spatial distribution, and everyday culture. It restricted their civil rights, particularly their freedom of movement, and officially denoted them as “administrative exiles.” They did not have the same right to choose their place of residence or freely move from place to place as most other citizens of the USSR. In this respect they suffered from legal restrictions similar to the kulaks deported earlier and the Russian-Germans, Karachais, Kalmyks, Chechens, Ingush, Balkars, Crimean Tatars, and Meskhetian Turks deported later as special settlers. Thus a significant number of Soviet citizens defined by nationality including the Koreans had legal disabilities imposed upon them that made their status inferior to that of the general Soviet population. The NKVD confined the deported Russian-Koreans to the five Central Asian republics, mostly Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and attempted to limit movement by them within this region. Although as can be seen below with the significant migration of Russian-Koreans from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan, they were often not successful in this second goal. In addition to restricting the mobility of the Russian- Koreans the NKVD also kept them under strict surveillance as a suspect people. Indirectly this restriction on movement also greatly limited their options for employment and education.
