E-mail: [email protected] The article considers economic successes of the Belgorod region as significantly determined by the governor Yevgeny Savchenko’ agrarian policies, which compensate for the region’s small size and modest human capital. In 2017, the authors published an article describing economic policies and social programs of regional authorities; now the authors focus on the leadership by Yevgeny Savchenko, and his rather paradoxical personal and management views. First, according to Max Weber’s typology of authority, Savchenko is a charismatic leader with strong personality traits and careful political behavior, who benefits from the traditional Slavophile populism and institutional design of the gubernatorial powers that has allowed governors to become more powerful compared to other regional actors during 2002–2012. Second, the Belgorod governor’s project has quite traditional Russian roots in the spirit of A.V. Chayanov’s novel “My brother Alexey’s journey to the land of peasant utopia”, which allowed the Belgorod modernization project to successfully cope with unpredictable challenges from the Russian oligarchy and global economy, and to use competitive standards of consumer society as the grounds for conservative modernization and solidary society development. The Belgorod governor implements his own model of new economy consisting of the extensive development of solidarity and cooperation; ideals of healthy lifestyle; and freedom in choosing ways to work and to rest (regional authorities support corporate, family and individual strategies of life). Third, Savchenko has publicly articulated his personal political-economic theory reflecting a conglomerate of conservative, socialist and populist ideas, and combining anti-liberalism and statist philosophy as the basis for the revival of the Russian state, which the governor sees as an engine of social progress.

This rather small region is located in the central black-earth zone of Russia and borders on Ukraine. It occupies an area approximately equal to the Crimean peninsula (about 27 thousand square kilometers), and has population of 1.5 million people. The urban share of the population is 70 percent, while 30 percent are rural, and the capital city Belgorod has 350 thousand inhabitants. The region has distinct economic and geographical advantages for it possesses the world’s largest iron ore deposits and agricultural lands located in the centre of the vast Russian-Ukrainian black soils. Moreover, the region boasts weather and natural resources favorable for agricultural production, and has been very successful in fulfilling its objectives for the development of agriculture. Belgorod is well known for housing largest and successful agroholdings, and for ranking among the leaders in agricultural production, especially of pork and poultry. Savchenko’s agrarian policies have been called the “Belgorod Miracle,” referring to the region’s achievements as a major Russian agricultural producer (see, e.g.: Reiting, 2016) although Belgorod was not among agricultural leaders in the late Soviet or early post-Soviet periods, i.e. before Savchenko became governor (Ioffe, Nefedova, 2000: 299). The Belgorod region’s high ranking in agricultural production is even more impressive for in 2014 it ranked 67th in territorial size, 22rd in the size of agricultural workforce, and 30th in the size of population. Belgorod has become one of the strongest agricultural producers in the country, ranking in the top five in terms of ruble value of agricultural production since 2008, and ranking 3rd in 2014 and 2015 and 4th in 2016. In 2016, the region produced almost 6% of the nation’s total meat output (Kulistikova, 2017). Moreover, during 2005– 2010 the nominal ruble value of agricultural output in the Belgorod region tripled (for comparison: in the Krasnodar region the output doubled, the national agricultural sector grew by 87% (Rosstat, 2015: 641-642); for animal husbandry, the growth rate was nearly three times as high as in the Krasnodar region and the rest of the country (Fadeeva, 2013: 423)). Savchenko’s policies compensate for Belgorod’s small size and modest human capital by the significant modernization (mechanization) of agricultural production, promotion of agroholdings that use technologically advanced methods of production, and regional projects for the development of agriculture. Thus, the region has the smallest amount of land that is unclaimed in the Central Federal district; in the last decade, the region has shown very strong growth in pork and poultry production, making the sector competitive with Western European and American companies; the region consistently ranks among national leaders in crop production and grain yields, and so on. КРЕСТЬЯНОВЕДЕНИЕ · 2018 · ТОМ 3 · №1 Certainly, such an economic success was determined by the 101 general revival of the Russian agricultural sector since 2004. For instance, the value of national agricultural production increased A.Nikulin, from 1.3 trillion Rubles in 2004 to 5.6 trillion Rubles in 2016 under I.Trotsuk, the state financial support and wide-ranging state programs for S.Wegren agricultural development (Wegren, Nilssen, Elevastad, 2016). Since Ideology and 2014, the agricultural sector has grown so fast that Russia regained philosophy of the the position of the world leading wheat exporter in 2015-2017. By the successful regional way, Savchenko was among the politicians who claimed that Russia development… has the potential to produce enough grain, meat, milk and other products not only to be self-sufficient but to feed half a billion people (see, e.g.: Dyatlovskaya, 2016; Evgeniy Savchenko: Rossiya mozhet, 2014; O merakh, 2016: 8; Rossiya prokormit, 2016). We believe that the Belgorod region is economically successful today because of the leadership by governor Yevgeny Savchenko despite his rather paradoxical personal and management views. Thus, on the one hand, he is a staunch statist and supporter of the Kremlin general economic and political lines; on the other hand, he is a welfare state oriented leader and a consistent critic of the post-Soviet market reforms implementation. On the one hand, he skillfully maneuvers between comprehensive support of agroholdings and intensification of large-scale industrial agricultural production; on the other hand, the region aims at strengthening family production and development of organic farming as competitive advantages at the domestic food market. On the one hand, the governor declaratively ensures market economic reforms and supports democratic institutions at the local level; on the other hand, there are few measures to develop civil society, and the governor certainly prefers authoritarian style and patrimonial hierarchical social control. Leadership features of Yevgeny Savchenko 1 Yevgeny Savchenko was born on April 8, 1950 in the village Red Yaruga in the Belgorod region. In 1976, he graduated from the Moscow Agricultural Academy and started his career in agricultural production, first as the chief agronomist of the collective farm Rakityansky, then as the head of the Rakityansky district agricultural department, and then as the director of an elite seed-production state farm. In 1980, he began a political career, first as the first deputy head of the executive committee of the Rakityansky district Council, then as the first secretary of the Shebekinsky City Committee of the Communist Party for the Belgorod region, and then as an instructor for the Central Committee of the CPSU. In 1988, he graduated 1. Basic biographical facts may be found at: http://www.savchenko.ru/info; and http://perebezhchik.ru/person/savchenko-evgeniy-stepanovich. RUSSIAN PEASANT STUDIES · 2018 · VOLUME 3 · No 1 102 from the Rostov Higher Party School and received a doctorate in economics. During 1990-1993 Savchenko was a consultant for the СОВРЕМЕННОСТЬ Ministry of Agriculture and Food, a general director of the company Russian Seeds, and a deputy chief of the Department of Crop Production in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. In October 1993, President Boris Yeltsin appointed Savchenko as the head of the regional administration in Belgorod, and then in December 1995 Savchenko was elected governor. In 1996-2001, he also headed the committee for agrarian policy in the Federation Council, and made a reputation as a leading advocate for agrarian interests. In May 1999, he was reelected as governor, and again in

Gorin Belgorod State Agrarian University, 308503 Belgorod Region, Belgorodsky District, Maisky Village, Vavilova str. 1. ABSTRACT An intensive farming triggers mineralization of humus, which leads to a deterioration in the agrochemical, physicochemical, biological, and other properties of the soil. In this regard, the means for the biologization of agriculture should be given much more attention as a powerful means of increasing the fertility of the soil and the economic efficiency of agricultural production. The presented data testify to the positive influence of green manure crops as an element of biologization on the productivity of agricultural crops and the indices of soil fertility. In general, the most economically feasible for the crops studied is the variant of mustard embedding with the Sun Flower unit, which profitability level averaged 77.5%. While the least cost-effective was the option with the use of unembedded buckwheat - only 39.5%. Keywords: biologization of agriculture, green manure crop, soil cultivation, economic efficiency. *Corresponding author September–October 2018 RJPBCS 9(5) Page No. 1370 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION Solving the tasks of ecological safety of modern farming systems and increasing their economic efficiency should be connected with the biology of agriculture and energy conservation, one of the main principles of which is the preservation and improvement of soil fertility through the use of organic fertilizers [4, 5, 8, 9, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 23], while the need for rational nature management is strengthened by the transition to sustainable development of rural areas and the "green" economy, the development of the concept of land use ecologization (3, 6.7.10).

Gorky, 32, 236041 Kaliningrad, Russia 2Belgorod State National Research University, st. Pobedy, 85, 308015 Belgorod, Russia Abstract. Information obtained from any source is forgotten after three days. The exception is the one that is of particular importance and is broadcast through stories. The ongoing transformation of the needs of tourists is reflected in the diversification of the tourist offer. In this regard, storytelling has received particular relevance and development. Storytelling technologies are the process of communicating information as a result of the use of stories and legends. The article analyzes the state and development prospects of the region as an attractive tourist destination, suggests a model for promoting a regional tourist destination based on storytelling. The development and comprehensive implementation of projects, taking into account the interests of all participants, will provide an opportunity to promote and develop the territory as an attractive tourist destination, which is of paramount importance in modern socio-economic conditions. 1 Introduction The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and the travel restrictions are changing the development potential of the tourism industry, both in Russia and around the world. The results of 2020 testify to the deplorable state of the tourism sector and, as a result, its finding in extreme conditions. According to the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, Russian citizens made 71% fewer trips compared to 2019, namely 14 million trips to foreign countries, and more than half of the trips fell on the "pre-quarantine" first quarter of 2020 - almost 54%.

  • Evidence from the Belgorod Oblast, Orjol and Tatarstan Ekaterina
    Do Agroholding Members Perform Better than Independent Farms? Evidence from the Belgorod Oblast, Orjol and Tatarstan Ekaterina Gataulina1, Heinrich Hockmann2 and Anton Strokov3 1 All-Russian Institute of Agrarian Problems and Information Theory (VIAPI), Moscow, Russian Federation 2 Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) Halle (Saale), Germany, [email protected] 3 Eurasian Center for Food Security (ECFS), Moscow, Russian Federation Extended abstract In 2000s a massive formation of agoholdings was observed in Russia. Agroholdings are huge companies in the downstream and upstream sectors which control large part of agricultural production. Usually they are linked to the agricultural sector via contractual and ownership arrangements. Moreover, the agroholdings act as a parent company and conduct the strategic planning (investment, specialization), provide the financial means, and are responsible for the marketing of the produce. The member companies of the holding are normally legally independent organizations; however, they have to report to the parent company. There is insufficient information about the performance of the parent companies since a consolidated budget is only published rarely. However, the growth or stock price developments of some companies provide an indication of the profitability and growth potentials. What effects result from the creation of agroholdings in the agricultural sector? Information on this issue can be very scarce. However, we were fortunate to be able to explain in detail the performance of members of agricultural holdings for three oblasts. These are Oryol, Belgorod and Tatarstan. In all three regions agroholdings were very active. The objective is to provide information on the performance of the member companies of agroholdings using a comprehensive indicator (total factor productivity) obtained from efficiency analysis.
